Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The McBee Family Dynamic: Terrible Men, Print-Ready Blondes, and the Joy of Judgment

Bravo's Shift to Bad Men:

• Ronnie highlights how Bravo is leaning into "terrible men" as a cash cow:

  "Bravo really is featuring the terrible men more and more... this show is like their crown jewel, or, I don't know, their crowned turd." (04:37)

• Ben points out the risk: it's not the terribleness that's the problem—it's being boring and terrible.

Recurring Female Archetypes:

• The hosts joke about the McBee brothers’ girlfriends, riffing on their similarity:

  "They're just, like, printed in a 3D printer... you just are like, I want another one. She better be the same exact size, blonde, everything." (06:02, Ronnie)

Why the Hosts Watch:

• Ronnie and Ben agree the show’s hook is Galena and Tessa, not the brothers—the "beacons that get me through the episodes" (07:27, Ben).

---

2. The Looming Sentencing: Fear, Delusion, and Latte Jokes

Christy’s Latte Obsession:

• Ben and Ronnie turn Christy's signature trait (giant lattes) into a running gag.

  "She doesn't have a wheelbarrow with like a 6-foot-tall latte behind in it. She loves a big latte." (08:30, Ben)

The Gravity of the Family's Legal Troubles:

• Christy and Stephen Jr. discuss the real risk of losing the farm, having loans called in, and the unknown future.
• Ronnie summarizes the stakes:

  "If these banks pull these lines, that number could reach eight figures real quickly. Real quickly." (29:11)

• Ben retorts: "This is a great way to avoid this. Don't commit felonies." (29:01)

Everybody's Clueless & Scared:

• The family members—especially Casey—are often oblivious to how intertwined their assets are, leading to panicked realizations about possibly losing their home:

  "Wait, so that means they could take our house? Wait. Why would he keep that from me? He's cold." (36:38, Casey, parodied by Ben & Ronnie)

---

3. Babies, McMansions, and Jealous Dads

Cole & Casey's New Life:

• Celebrating their new house and baby Blair; hosts poke fun at Cole's delusions of self-made success and jealousy over sharing his birthday with his daughter:

  "That baby needs any more pain in its life. This dad is one those dads who's jealous of the baby." (13:11, Ronnie)

• Extended riff on celebrities born December 13 (Wendie Malick, Taylor Swift), mocking the show’s self-seriousness about birthdays.

Jesse & Ally's New Baby:

• Another new baby (Summer), more discussion of postpartum struggles, and doubts about how the show will handle "ladies’ issues":

  "McBee Dynasty is not going to dwell on this. They're like: what, a ladies issue? Never mind. Let's talk about soybeans." (22:48, Ben)

---

4. The (Court) Drama: Preparation, Denial, and the Big Day

Galena’s Loyalty & Legacy:

• Galena and Stephen Jr. discuss contingency plans, worries about the business, and the pain of being caught in the crossfire:

  "He is not the rock. He is a pile of sand." (28:11, Ben)

• Galena’s melodrama gets compared to Bernadette Peters entering a Sondheim musical (25:13–25:56, both).

Loan Clauses and Collapse:

• The legal language—if an owner gets a felony, banks can recall loans—lays out the potential for disaster.

  "It's a never-ending circle of LLCs. I'm surprised anybody could even catch them." (30:33, Ronnie)

Family Bonding (or Not):

• The night before the sentencing, they're all together—except for Steven Sr.:

  "Rather than being with Steven Sr., they're like, we'll just leave him at home alone while we shoot a reality show and talk about how much we care." (35:06, Ben)

---

5. Sentencing Day: Courtroom Caricatures and Emotional Absurdity

Courtroom Sketches:

• The show's silly, clearly fake courtroom art becomes a punchline.

  "They made the judge look like Simon Van Kempen... these could not have been real courtroom drawings." (44:02, Ben)

Family “Support Letters”:

• Hilarious parody letters from each family member—Ben and Ronnie improvise what each would write (44:42–46:02).
• Jesse says:

  "I've never seen anyone as uplifting and positive as my dad." (49:00, quoted by Ben with disbelief)

The Verdict:

• Steven Sr. gets 24 months in federal prison, plus $3 million in fines and $4 million in restitution—$7 million total.
• The family is crushed, but the tone skews "poor us"/self-pitying, drawing mockery from the Crappens hosts:

  "You guys need to stop being so fucking brainwashed. How is nobody pissed at the dad? Nobody's like, wow, you just screwed over your entire family. They're like, but I'm gonna miss daddy." (51:57, Ronnie)

---

6. Aftermath: Scrambling, Blame-Shifting, and Galena’s Disappearing Act

Crisis Management (or Not):

• The family gathers to figure out how to “blow up” the business tenfold to stay afloat, sans Galena.
• Frustration at Galena being checked out and “acting like a celebrity,” even after they acknowledge she’s the only reason to watch the show:

  "Let your Bravo ambassador run the rounds... she is a goodwill ambassador as far as I'm concerned." (57:26, Ben)

Galena’s Rebellion:

• Galena's absence is explained away as "going to the nail salon with her daughter," with daughter Irina savagely telling her she’s "almost back to being the mom I like." (59:28)

They May Have To Sell the Facility™:

• Debate over what to sell; emotional over the idea of losing "the facility," which is half-jokingly described as the warehouse of all their superfluous side businesses.

---

7. Enter the New Blonde: Steven Jr.’s “Spontaneous” Romance (Again)

Introducing Calby:

• Steven brings in a new girlfriend, Ally (not to be confused with Jesse’s wife, also Ally), echoing last year's identical girlfriend drama.
• Recap of Steven's unhinged real-world behavior toward past girlfriends, with Ronnie reciting details of his Stagecoach tantrum.
• Ally is self-consciously ready for TV, described as someone who “tries on clothes for a living”—model, influencer, or both.

Boys’ “Decorating”:

• Braden and Jake troll Steven’s house with fake foliage, Halloween decorations, and tampons to embarrass him ahead of Ally’s arrival.

Romantic Farce:

• The arrival scene is a light break from family legal drama, culminating with Steven and Ally awkwardly making out for cameras.

---

8. Sibling Drama & the Delusion of Responsibility

Cole’s Need for Validation:

• Cole complains about not getting enough credit for the "land sale to pay off debts," despite being both clueless and responsible for family woes:

  “You are. And how much was the land worth you punched? Why did you purchase the land? He's like, I sold $1 billion worth of land for $30 million. I don't know why they're not proud of me." (76:01, Ronnie)

The Family’s Shifting Focus:

• Discussion of responsibility, with new girlfriends, grandkids, and farm work proving to be distractions from the core issue. Crappens sum up:

  “Everything’s fine. Will they lose the farm? Maybe. But will they gain true love? Absolutely.” (78:24, Ben)

Oh, Andy's girls. Yeah, go check that out. Yeah, a lot of fun stuff happening. Ben, did you already say your newsletter? I was texting my.

[Ben Mandelker]

I did not mention my newsletter, but I have my food newsletter, MBD Fancy, where I reviewed a super fab cookbook called Better at Home. So if you're in the market for a cookbook and you want to know all the deets and what you should cook from it, go check that out. MBD fancy subsect dot com. And I'm sure anyone who's listening to the McBee Dynasty is like, what cookbook should I get that features someone who lives in Nova Scotia cooking, you know, like, fish with cast of latrano olives? Like, that's. It's the totally same audience as McBee Dynasty.

[Ronnie Caram]

So, yeah, know your audience. And it is this one. The McBee Dynasty Season 3, Episode 1, Judgment Day.

[Ben Mandelker]

Judgment Day. That is exactly what I was doing when I was watching this. I was passing judgment, that is for sure.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, we are judgment gays, so we are. Perfect title.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

Here we are, back with McBee Dynasty. I know you're psychedelic. This show. Wow, Bravo really is featuring the terrible men more and more on the channel in general. I think that they've realized it's gonna make them some money featuring terrible men. I mean, every show now is basically centered on terrible men. And this show is like their crown jewel, I think. Well, I don't know. They've still got Southern. Southern charm, so they're crowned turd more like.

[Ben Mandelker]

I think the thing is that, like, you know, there are terrible men on all these shows, and that's kind of the. A weird joy in watching all that. I Think the big cr. The big crime is to be not a terrible man, but to be a terrible man and also a boring man. And unfortunately, I feel like that's something that the McBe dynasty does. Does. Does do. Unfortunately for me. But, you know, hey, new season, new attitudes. Let's be. We're going to be open and accepting of. Of the McBee dynasty and all it has to offer us and all the exciting plot twists and stories and stuff. Uniquely.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

Uniquely shaped girlfriends. Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, gosh.

[Ben Mandelker]

I didn't mean uniquely shaped. I meant more like, well, cookie cutter Kayla's.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yes. Uniquely printed maybe is the best shape.

[Ben Mandelker]

Sound like body sham. It was not that.

[Ronnie Caram]

No, no. Well, they're all gorgeous. They're just, like, printed in a 3D printer. You know, it's like the same thing. Like, you get one's done, you just are like, I want to. I want another one. She better be the same exact size, blonde. Everything printed, printed. Print me another one. Print me another calla. Get her on.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, exactly. But anyway. Yeah, so it's back. And. And, you know, luckily we have our favorite unhinged Russian in the mix. Galena.

[Ronnie Caram]

This is the only reason I love. Okay, there's two reasons I watch this. Galena number one. Galena number two. And Jesse's still hot. I'm sorry. I don't care. I still think Jesse is so cute. I like Tessa. I was actually worried this episode that they got rid of Tessa because we didn't hear her. You know, normally it starts with like, well, previously on this show. These boys are just everything. Everybody does them wrong. And I just don't understand why. But they didn't.

[Ben Mandelker]

Previously on the McBee dynasty. Don't you dare say that. Stephen's hair is thinning. It's. Look, that's normal. That's fine. Don't make fun of my boys.

[Ronnie Caram]

Maybe your eyes are thickening, but they didn't show her, so I was really worried because I love me some Tessa, but she. She ended up coming and you know, giving her, like. I'm so excited. I'm so sad about Stephen Senior. How could they do this to y'? All? You're just little munchkins. You need me to change your diaper.

[Ben Mandelker]

Boys will be boys. We gotta save the facility. So, yeah, I mean, we all love Tessa and I. I guess we just, like. Well, I don't want to say we love the women of the show, because, honestly, I just like Tessa and Galena. I think the rest are, like, just sad, sad, wet rags, but, like, by Kalina and Tessa, that. That's. They're. They're the beacons. They're the beacons that, that get me through the episodes.

[Ronnie Caram]

Okay, well, I'm here for the dribble doors, personally.

[Ben Mandelker]

The dribble doors, yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

All right, so here we go. Season three, episode one. We open at the farm fulfillment center. So, you know it's going to be a good one. Christy, who is the mom of the group, Steve C. Steven Sr. Who's like the oldest brother who's always gonna run everything. I am here to save this family. And my daddy taught me at a very young age what fulfilling farm things means. And I'm gonna leave.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Christy comes in. Shockingly, she doesn't have a wheelbarrow within a like a 6 foot tall latte behind in it. She loves a big latte. Okay? So she comes in and she's like,

[Ronnie Caram]

I love that your takeaway from season two was, God damn, those lattes are big. Those fruity lattes that they get.

[Ben Mandelker]

Look, I have a giant Starbucks in honor of her. And this is like a fraction the size of the latte she was always toting around. So she's like, wow, it looks so different than the last time I was up here. I was like, mother, you are being so pessimistic about my hair. No, I was talking about the farm facility.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, I'm getting more organized, you know, I'm learning the curve. Mama, how you doing? She's like, I'm a nervous wreck. You know, everything going on. You know, everything going on, your piece of shit father finally going to prison. It sucks for me. Horrible day for me. Thinking about your daddy possibly getting it up the rear in prison where he's belonged since the second he cheated on me. I mean, I'm sad. This very sad day for all of us, isn't it, honey?

[Ben Mandelker]

The unknown is horrible. Like, it's been a long few years. I've just been slurping so quietly and for so long on this latte, and I'm almost getting to the bottom of it and I just don't know what happens when I finish it. The unknown is horrible.

[Ronnie Caram]

I just have one question, honey. No one has been able to explain to me in all these years, what in the heck is oat milk? What's that?

[Ben Mandelker]

I had a terrible day. I used one of those latte foamers on my hair. Thought I might give it some volume. Don't ever do that, Steven. I mean, not that you really have much volume left, but you know what? I'm.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's like, well, daddy, Daddy's, getting sentenced, but I hope it's just probation, and I don't think it'll be too much. He's Daddy. Everybody loves Daddy. I mean, Daddy, he can get you a soybean. He can wash your car. Who doesn't love Daddy?

[Ben Mandelker]

I hope it's just probation or house arrest. He's like, yeah, house arrest would be great. Just making me an anxious wreck right now. She's like, I know, I know. And then it's like. And we go somewhere else. We go to Cole and Casey's new house, talk about house arrest. They're there with their baby Blair. And Casey's like, wow, I just was stating facts. And Casey is like, So Casey with her baby Blair? God damn. I just said the name was Blair. So Casey's like, it's kind of a really weird time right now. I know that the sentencing is tomorrow, and as we all know, the sentencing is. That means that's the first day that Cole McBee will ever say a full sentence. Okay, I can speak following myself, Casey. Okay.

[Ronnie Caram]

Sorry. Sentencing is hard. No one in this family had an easy time in fourth grade.

[Ben Mandelker]

Sentencing, of course, is the time when we have to say a sentence in a smooth way instead of one syllable at a time. Fail.

[Ronnie Caram]

It just makes me worried. One, for the outcome. Two. Now we're a family, and we have a baby. Well, whose fault is that? You had a baby with Coal. Please. There is no but. I didn't even have to show up at your house with a warning sign. It's cold. Cole is a warning sign.

[Ben Mandelker]

Also, what does your baby have to do with Steven Senior's sentencing? I mean, we find out later on what it has to do with it, but, like, at this point, you don't know. What is this? Like, oh, we are worried. And now we're a family with a baby. What? Well, stop finding ways to bring the baby into that jail.

[Ronnie Caram]

Blair is not your baby shield. Well, because basically, she thinks she married into this rich family, and she married into this criminal family who's being sued for millions of dollars. And there's no way anyone in this family owns anything that's not tied to the business. You know, so dumb. Dumb. But also, did they kind of knew this when she got married to Cole because he was already in a lot of trouble, even though they were pretending that they didn't know, because today they're like, wow, we've been waiting for this day for two and a half years. I'm like, well, okay, let me do the math on how long you've Been saying that you don't know any of this is going on. Bunch of folkin liars. They're gonna be. This was shot like 30 years ago. We didn't know yet.

[Ben Mandelker]

Cole says there's been a lot of changes in life for me, first of all, and the biggest one is I became a dad. Blair was born on my birthday, December 13, 2024. Casey's like, and we are just living in our dream house. We have always just kind of lived wherever we could. And he's like, yeah, but I'm not leave. I'm not living in some old farmhouse anymore that is leaking or having a new issue every day. I'm like, I'll tell you what's leaking and having a new issue every day. You. You.

[Ronnie Caram]

And when he said the baby was born on his birthday, I was like, oh, God. Like, that baby needs any more pain in its life. This dad is one of those dads. You point this out all the time. Those dads who are like, jealous of the baby, Right?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

When you give the baby all love, why are you giving the baby. Now the baby is born. Oh, so it's the baby's birthday. Whatever happened to my birthday?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, exactly. You know, he's going to be totally like that. He's going to be a total baby computer.

[Ronnie Caram]

This house is a big. You know what? You would think it would. It's big. It's a big farmhouse type thing. I kind of liked it. I liked all the big, gigantic. The wall of, like, windows. It was like garage door windows.

[Ben Mandelker]

Is that what that was? I have actually no issues with the house. I think they have a very lovely McMansion. And I. I think it's. It's just right. It's exactly what they need. I just want to also point out that Cole McBee and Blair McBee being born on December 13th means that they share a birthday with many people, but most importantly, Wendy Malik. I mean, this is just an affront.

[Ronnie Caram]

Is that true?

[Ben Mandelker]

Ways. Yes. Wendy Malik is born on December 13.

[Ronnie Caram]

How do you know? You looked it up right now, or did you just know that?

[Ben Mandelker]

I looked it up right now. There's a lot of luminaries. Herman Cain, RIP Dick Van Dyke.

[Ronnie Caram]

Wendy Malik came up in this in a bravo recap. That's pretty great, Wendy. We love you, Wend. We love you, Wendy. It's also like almost a week after your birthday. No, it's a little more. It's more than a week after. It's a day after a week and a day after your birthday. Is that right? December 4th plus 7 is December 11th. So it would be 2. Two days plus 7. Talk about sentencing. Am I right? Killing it over here.

[Ben Mandelker]

The point is, Wendy Malik, her birthday is now forever besmirched. Taylor Swift. Wait a second. You know, by the way, all the Swifties were so mad that, like, that we highlighted Wendy Malik before Taylor Swift. But guess what? You know what? You get in line. Congratulations, Taylor Swift. You're a global superstar. But Wendy was here first, and she'll be here after. We would have had a million comments if I had not noticed that Taylor Swift was on December 13th. It would have been like, how could you not even mention Taylor Swift on Swifty day? That's the day that.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, that one makes more sense. On a McBee. On a McBee.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

They probably love that.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm surprised they don't name a baby Taylor.

[Ronnie Caram]

Me too. Or Swift.

[Ben Mandelker]

Like, she. She left us when she went to pop.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So they're talking.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's not a word that's ever going to be associated with Cole McBee, I'm sorry to say.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, so. So Cole's like, I'll put all our money into it. I spent, like, every dollar I made for the last, you know, since I graduated high school. I saved up to build my first house. You did not. Get out of here. This is bought under your family's farm, and you know it. Yeah, you all have the same house.

[Ben Mandelker]

Your name's not even on the title. Don't act like you saved up all. Like, all you. You sat there on the side of the road selling soybeans. Come on, get out of here.

[Ronnie Caram]

You did not, sir. So she's like, it's our dream house. And he's like, well, my dad pled guilty last year to give one can of the wrong plant date. Gosh. But came after him for putting one little date wrong on a form. You can't even. You get a typo now, you go to jail. Real fair, America.

[Ben Mandelker]

You can't even do casual fraud anymore. So Casey's like, that's this whole episode.

[Ronnie Caram]

The guy's being like, what, God? America can't make one little typo? Geez.

[Ben Mandelker]

Great news, though. Casey is like, well, you know, you have me and Blair. He's like, oh, no.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial. Your outdoor space should feel like you. I have this gigantic patio deck thing that I wanted to use for parties, and. And I could just not find any fashionable patio furniture. I needed a lot, and I needed it to go together, I needed different pieces that all kind of looked the same. I was able to go on Wayfair and search for exactly what I needed. Different brands, different, different things all coming together in one style. It was so easy to do and it looks great.

[Ben Mandelker]

I can confirm that his outdoor area looks great. And the thing is that you can get more than just seating you, you can get grills, major appliances, storage, patio lighting, rugs, decor. Wayfair really is your one stop shop for home.

[Ronnie Caram]

And the best thing about this place, well, not the best. One of the best is that you don't even have to put this stuff together. You can hire somebody from Wayfair to come put it over, put it all together for you, you know, and that's the best part because if I put it together, it's rickety. It's falling apart no matter where it's from. I just don't have that skill. But they do.

So now we go to Jesse and Ali's city house.

[Ronnie Caram]

Can I trade you for the house? What are you saying? How am I supposed to pay for this house? What the fuck does that mean? I have you and Blair. I got one. One lady who barely can stand me and another one is stealing my birthday.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm sorry, Ronnie. I can't hear you over the sound of the rumble of the subway running right under Jesse and Ali's city house. Because that's where we're going next.

[Ronnie Caram]

We're going to the big city.

[Ben Mandelker]

I forgot about their city house. We're at the city house.

[Ronnie Caram]

They've also got a baby. Everybody's got a baby now. It's like watching. It's like watching that Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It's like, cut to commercial and they come back and there's another baby there. You're like, where the did this baby come from?

[Ben Mandelker]

I know this baby. I forgot that there was another baby. I mean, I'm still just. I feel like it was just yesterday that they were getting married under that hexagonal arch.

[Ronnie Caram]

So it's like, when are you gonna make that hexagonal thing? Prove that you love me? He's like, I don't know. I can't bring myself to make shapes right now out of wood.

[Ben Mandelker]

We need settlers of Catan represented in this wedding. So they have their baby Summer. And she's like. She's so peaceful when she sleeps. I was like, I would hope so. Imagine the baby's, like, sleeping like that. Oh, yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

That's how I used to sleep, kicking and screaming. Not a peaceful sleeper. It was peaceful for me.

[Ben Mandelker]

So they. They got married. As we saw, it's been a whirlwind. They. Jesse says first year of marriage has had its ups and downs. There's been so many life changes for me and Ally. We had our little baby Summer back in April. I was like, I don't know why. That made me chuckle.

[Ronnie Caram]

Like, it's like you're born.

[Ben Mandelker]

There's a seasonal discordance here. Discrepancy. Seasonal discrepancies. Why don't you name rap? We have. We have another daughter named April. She's due in the summer.

[Ronnie Caram]

She's definitely been the greatest blessing in the world. And Ali's like, yeah, postpartum immediately after having her was rough. Like, yeah, I was a lot of anxiety. And he's like, but, you know, Ellie and I's intimacy has really gone downhill after having a baby. Okay, listen, I've had to listen to it all season from the Valley. I'm not taking it from you two. I know you guys just need to space this out, cuz I'm not about to take this from another show, okay?

[Ben Mandelker]

I. I feel like McBe dynasty is not going to dwell on this. They're like, what a ladies issue. Never mind. Let's talk about soybeans.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, we still got the cows.

[Ben Mandelker]

Cole got a new hat.

[Ronnie Caram]

I'll tell you why you buy the cow when you get the milk for free, cuz eventually the milk stops freeing. Get over here, Bess.

[Ben Mandelker]

You are the most pessimistic person about the cow. So Jesse is. Yeah. Intimacy's gone downhill.

[Ronnie Caram]

Jesse. There's always me.

[Ben Mandelker]

Where's Ronnie?

[Ronnie Caram]

Close your eyes and ears.

[Ben Mandelker]

I hope that. I hope you get that photo of you with Jesse from Bravocon, because you deserve it at this point.

[Ronnie Caram]

I'm never getting that. Casey is never giving me that photo. Never giving it to me. Casey from Bitch Sesh, Garbage World? Yes. I'm talking about you with that phone. Buried. That picture buried on your ph somewhere. You're never going to give it to me. Fine. Always take your own pictures, people.

[Ben Mandelker]

Always. We learned that from Jesse McBee and from Lisa Hochstein. Yeah. So Ali is saying that she got a lot of help from Christy and. And I think. And others during the pregnancy or afterwards. I should say. I'm sorry. And her mom as well. And Jesse's like, so, hey, you took off for my dad's court case tomorrow, right? She's like, of course I took off from my busy job of doing stuff.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, she was a nurse, I think, right? I think she's a nurse. Yeah. She's got. She's got a good career. She's like, of course. People dying, people bleeding. I would much rather watch your dad be ripped apart limb from limb. You bet your bottom dollar I'll be there, support this family. And she's like, you're so strong for everybody. It just worries me, you know, I just Want to make sure you're doing okay now. Don't speak for another eight hours. I wasn't planning to. That's.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

Take solace in.

[Ben Mandelker]

That is confirmed. She is a nurse practitioner. So she does have. She does. She. She does. She does have.

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, I know my hands. I know my beat. My question it.

[Ben Mandelker]

So now, by the way, the entire time, this whole episode's like an episode of 24. It's like, beep, beep, beep. It's like 20 hours, 43 minutes of sentencing. Oh, my God. Oh, thank God we were not 20 hours, 44 minutes until the sentencing because that would have totally affected how this next scene plays out.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So we go to McBee Farms with Galena and Stephen Jr. And I felt like I was watching a play because I started applauding. It's like when the star comes on, I'm like, it's a Galena. Yes. She's like, okay, yeah, go ahead.

[Ben Mandelker]

No, no, I was gonna make something.

[Ronnie Caram]

Like.

[Ben Mandelker]

I said, Peter's reference.

[Ronnie Caram]

She's like, listen here. Beans, greens, and nothing but greens. Parsley, peppers, cabbages and celery, Asparagus and fiddle, ferns and water crescent lettuce. I said, all right. But it wasn't quite. Because I caught him in the garden in the autumn. In my garden one night. Don't say Bernadette Peters around me. Expect not to get that.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, that was the exact scene I was thinking of. Is like, Burnett, Peter's coming out as the witch, and everyone applauds.

[Ronnie Caram]

I know, because I did the same thing when she came out. I was like, yes, Galina. She's like, I'm Bernadette Peters. How dare you?

[Ben Mandelker]

Berna Peters is Galina in McBee, a new Stephen Sondheim musical.

[Ronnie Caram]

Okay, so Galena's like, Steven Jr. I think it is important for us to touch base on things like, let us hope for the best. Prepare for the Masha.

[Ben Mandelker]

Are you ready for tomorrow? She's like, I am not. I mean, in a way, just so we actually can start moving forward with what to deal with. It's. It's going to be hard. I'm extremely worried about the length of the sentencing because, you know, ultimately, it's all in judge's hands. And judge does not have chickens that they can kill. So very difficult for me to take action.

[Ronnie Caram]

He can make example out of Steve, even though because of Steve, definitely. I found myself in horrible situation last year. You found your horror yourself in a horrible situation because you were high off your rock or crashing in trees. That's why?

[Ben Mandelker]

Literally crashing into trees. Literally.

[Ronnie Caram]

They cut her into the wagon. Crashed into a tree. And then the lady, the cop, being like, well, you know, we're not gonna charge you for drunk driving. Cause I think something else is going on here. Whatever it is, I don't know, but Steve McBee's pretty big. And I've got one more little spot to get punched out on my car wash car before I get a free car wash. And now's not the time to fuck it up. You may go, madame. Damn. You may go.

[Ben Mandelker]

You know, they've been let off the hook so many times, like, with the local police. And so that's why they're really freaking out because, like, wait a second, all our bag of tricks is not working with this federal judge. So Lena is like. She's like, Steve can be at times, you know, very chaotic in relationship, but when it comes to business, he is the rock that holds everything together. A rock that I want to. Have you ever a rock before? Oh, so hot.

[Ronnie Caram]

How are you calling this man. How are you going to call this man the rock that holds the business together when you're about to lose everything because he committed crop. Crop insurance fraud? What do you.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. He is not the rock. He is. He is a pile of sand. So Stephen Jr. Is like, we are going to have some intense meetings after tomorrow. I'm like, you're gonna start having them every time you go to a meeting. It's like, we have to change the coffee filters. You're like, okay, relax, relax, relax.

[Ronnie Caram]

He's like, is this an empty bottle of wine that I just found in your trash can? It is still cold. Well, I'm sorry for refrigerating wine.

[Ben Mandelker]

Why has no one ordered more cherry cups? So

[Ronnie Caram]

I know.

[Ben Mandelker]

I know this because we've done so many of those. The loans. Every single loan on our books. There's a moral clause where if one of the owners happens to have a felony. Happens to have a felony. I love that. Happens to have a felony, the bank can reconsider the loan and call the note to where you have to pay off the loan within 15 to 30 days. And my fear is that if something goes bad tomorrow, we're going to have to have a. We're going to have a domino effect of backscalling notes. You know, it's a great way to avoid this. Don't commit felonies. That's really as simple as that.

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, stop making everything sound so simple. God. So he's saying they're already in a lot of debt. They were Already in a lot of debt now throwing a felony charge on top of that. And things just got a hell of a lot worse. If these banks pull these lines, that number could reach eight figures real quickly. Real quickly. Quickly. More quickly than that. Come.

[Ben Mandelker]

This doesn't just affect the farms. It affects the car washes, the home building, the meat facility, the film fulfillment facility. Tires, roads, pigeons, everything. Everything in the entire world is truly a house of cards.

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, God. It's even gonna affect the car, the card business we got. Damn it.

[Ben Mandelker]

And the card washers. Have you ever brought a deck of cards into a washer?

[Ronnie Caram]

Hey, honey, I'll be right back. I need to run and grab some meat from the car wash. Okay.

[Ben Mandelker]

I don't know if my mother's gonna be able to afford one of their big, big lattes anymore. It's terrible. So Glenna's like, well, I've been working with McBees for over seven years now and worked my way up to become part owner. And since last year, we were forced to sell quite a bit of land to come up to pay off some loans. And then, you know, more loans keep popping up. It's just like a never ending circle. I'm like, well, stop opening up car washes. You're stop. They've got so many random ass businesses. Just shut them all down. Pay off your bills.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's a never ending circle of LLCs. I'm surprised that anybody could even catch them because they've got so many LLCs going on on this show. It's like, well, okay, you want to know who wants the soybean company? I couldn't tell you. It's probably the person who owns the cattle company who owns that. The person owns the car wash. Who owns that? The person owns the car company. Like, jeez, how do you. A lot of digging. It's a lot of digging.

[Ben Mandelker]

You just follow the paper trail. Just leads you to Ginger the chicken. Chicken's like, what?

[Ronnie Caram]

Counting it.

[Ben Mandelker]

M. Behind it all. So Stephen Jr. Is like, it could all come crumbling down tomorrow. And, yeah, I haven't been sleeping very good this week, and there's not going to be much sleep tonight. Well, thanks for the update. So Gina is like, I went on two hours of sleep for weeks now, and it's just exhausting.

[Ronnie Caram]

And he's like, well, you know what? I'm thinking of repercussions. Because it feels like my dad's not the only one being sentenced tomorrow. Because if things go bad, this farm sort of becomes my prison. It already. I mean, it already Kind of. This farm has been fucked from the beginning. This was never. I like that they pretend they're. They're coming from, like, some successful farm. This farm has been on the shits since the first episode. I've watched them all.

[Ben Mandelker]

You know what? I'm sure a prisoner really wants to hear while they are cooped up in their tiny cell, that your expansive thousands and thousand acre wide farm is a prison. I'm sure that really is going to land well for people who have gone through that.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So he says that he's brushed his personal life to the side ever since Cala broke up with him at that wedding last year by not showing up to the wedding. And if his dad ends up going to prison, he's going to have to step up even more than he is now.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. I fresh off my personal life to the side for at least the next 12 hours, and then it's back, back center stage. So, yeah, he's like, for once in my life, that man has always had the answers. He doesn't have an answer this time. We'll have to figure it out ourselves. Once in my life. So then we go to Colton Casey's house. It's 15 hours until the sedan sing, and Steve Jr. Arrives with food. And here comes Braden, and he.

[Ronnie Caram]

Does anybody in this family cook? What do you think?

[Ben Mandelker]

No.

[Ronnie Caram]

I know it's weird to, like, cook shame people, but with a family this huge, it seems like this would be like a potluck family. Like, okay, we're getting together again today. You bring the corn, you bring the bread, you bring the tamales, like, whatever they have. This is a lot of take. I mean, this. This family goes through a lot of takeout.

[Ben Mandelker]

Don't forget the last time they all cooked a cooked food. Casey had, like, a panic attack and, like, needed to go to the hospital.

[Ronnie Caram]

Remember because Cali last year, remember because Cal, I was like, being snotty or something. Khalid didn't even really do anything, but Casey's like, oh, my God, Cal is here.

[Ben Mandelker]

So, yeah, so Braden is here, and Cole's like, hey, can you take the shoes off? Brain's like, what the. He's like, of all the people in my family who could yell at me for not taking my shoes off, of course it's Cole. While you're wearing the same pair of socks you probably worn the past week, I like this Braden guy.

[Ronnie Caram]

I like think of Brayden a bigger, bigger role this time. They gave a couple of guys a bigger. Braden is the brother, right?

[Ben Mandelker]

He's like the youngest one.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, he's like the younger brother. He got a bigger role. And they also gave a bigger role to that farmhand guy who came, like, he came in, like, with a glow up. That guy. He's like, I'm wearing Ray Bans now.

[Ben Mandelker]

I know. I was like, this guy used to look like that one guy on King of the Hill, and now he's got, like, a little bit of body and, like, he got a haircut. I was like, good for him.

[Ronnie Caram]

He started off as, like, Luke from the Valley, and now he came back as. I don't even know, but pretty hot.

[Ben Mandelker]

Season 2 Luke from the Valley.

[Ronnie Caram]

No, no.

[Ben Mandelker]

But then they'll probably go back to season three Luke. So then. So Christy arrives, and with Ali.

[Ronnie Caram]

I have got to pause. Nope, never mind. I don't. They hung up on me. It's a very important call.

[Ben Mandelker]

Very important. Be calling from prison. You're talking about my family.

[Ronnie Caram]

I'm so sorry. Go ahead.

[Ben Mandelker]

No, I know you're waiting for an important call, so if that comes through, just let me know.

[Ronnie Caram]

But it didn't. Then they hung up on me. Now are they going to pretend like. But we did call you because you hung up after one ring.

[Ben Mandelker]

That's annoying. I hate.

[Ronnie Caram]

That is, man. Okay, I'm gonna shut up now. Go ahead.

[Ben Mandelker]

How many things can the McBees ruin, right? Receiving phone calls. So they're all there. They're having what's actually really hilarious about this. It's like the night before Stephen McBee's sentencing, and rather than being with Steven McBee Senior, they're like, we're gonna just leave him in his home alone while we shoot a reality show, talk about how much we care for this guy being sent to prison tomorrow.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, pretty much. It's like, how do you feel about dad? And Christie's like, oh, gosh. Well, he's a little nervous, too. I think it's kind of hitting him now. And Jesse's like, yeah, being here feels like the last dinner for everything could change.

[Ben Mandelker]

Wow. I. I don't really see the much changing, to be honest. It's like, I think we're all just trying to enjoy this moment together. Sitting here all gathered around, smelling Cole's socks. Wow. What a moment.

[Ronnie Caram]

So Casey's saying, Cole stress, but he's been handling it, like, better than I thought. But we're so worried. And Ally's like, well, but technically, Casey, this land is, like, in one of Stephen's loans, right? So if something bad were to happen tomorrow, they could pull that loan. You know that Right. She's like, wait, so that means they could take our house? Wait. And she's like, yeah. You didn't know that? Oh, sorry. I didn't know. You didn't know that. She's like, wait, but why would he keep that from me? He's cold.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. This is it. You. If this is the man that you married. And also, neither of you were very bright, so that's why this. This. That's why this information did not pass through. So in case. He's like, if we did leave the house, I just don't know what we'll do. We put all of our money in our house. We can't just start over. We thought this is where Blair is gonna grow up. I'm like, a tornado is gonna take out that house sooner or later, so don't get too attached to it. Okay, good.

[Ronnie Caram]

Tornado. It just makes me sick. But he should have told me because. And then at least I could know. I'm gonna freak out. I'm gonna say something. Ali's like, I didn't say anything, though. Don't say you heard it for me. She's like, okay. Hey, Allie told me our house is gonna be taken.

[Ben Mandelker]

So the boys are outside. Steven Junior's like, hey, how are you guys feeling about tomorrow? Jesse's like, nervous, man. It just sucks because there's nothing we can do. Yeah, well, it's gonna be a long night. But come 11:30 tomorrow, all of our unknowns will be answered. Good or bad? 11:30, a.m. or p.m. i don't know. Stop asking me questions.

[Ronnie Caram]

But how many hours and minutes is it till 11:30? I don't know. I can't do the math.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, what time zone?

[Ronnie Caram]

I don't know.

[Ben Mandelker]

Cole's like, what is the specific.

[Ronnie Caram]

What else?

[Ben Mandelker]

Wait, is time zone, like an autozone? Get out of here, Cole. Change your socks.

[Ronnie Caram]

So Casey comes up to Cole. She's like, I need to talk to you. Why wouldn't you tell us about our house? He's like, what do you mean? What do you mean about our house? And she's like, but the loan on the land is in your. It's on the senior dad's name, right? And he's like, well, I mean, it's the land that's in my dad's name, and land don't got nothing to do with nothing except our house is built on it. So.

[Ben Mandelker]

But, like, what. What happens? Like, you're. You're just gonna give me a one day notice? I mean, next thing you're gonna say, we were built On a Native American burial ground. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, we do have a poltercast. Have you noticed?

[Ronnie Caram]

But wait a minute. If they take the land. But then what's going to happen to the house? Well, duh, it's still going to be a house. I mean, what happens to a sandwich that's on a plate? But then I take it it means you ate a sandwich. What do you accuse me of, woman?

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm not going to eat the house. Well, I wasn't saying that, Cole. So Cole goes, well, for all the land that's in my brother's and I's name, that stuff is safe. But for some reason, my house and the ground that sitting on, whenever we got it bought, whenever we got it bought, it got put under my dad's name. Oh, yeah, Sometimes these things happen. You know, you plug in your computer and it just glitches.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's like another clerical error.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. You know, somehow it just happened. That doesn't have. It doesn't. The amount of. Anyone who has gone through the process of anything with real estate knows that things don't just happen that way. Oh, it just happened to be put that way. No, it's like there's. This is fish.

[Ronnie Caram]

Because your dad owns the land. Stop pretending like you've worked since you were 11 to own this house. Your dad. And that's, you know, it's fine. It's normal, you know, like for a family with a huge family business or whatever. But my God, pick a story and stick with it. Cole.

[Ben Mandelker]

So he's like, well, it should be in or McBee Farm's name. I just. Just didn't want to freak you out, babe. And I didn't want you to sit here and think all week about this, because I hate when you have to think about things. She's like, well, I'm more freaked out to find out the night before. He's like, I know. Not before. What? The night before you change your socks for the week. Oh, okay.

[Ronnie Caram]

So of course he's crying. She's like, oh, don't cry. He's like, we'll figure it out. I mean, maybe we can put the house someplace else. So she tells us again, we thought, this is where Blair's gonna grow. Okay, you know what? I'm not gonna sit here and cry for you guys. You guys, this whole family is so ridiculous. Like, more poor us. You guys, stop everybody over at all times.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, yeah. If I have to hear one more time about, oh, we thought this is where Blair will grow up. Oh, please. And Watch it. Watch the move next. Next year to a different house. And now, after a season of them saying, but this is where Blair is gonna grow up, is enough. Enough about Blair and where she's gonna grow up.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now Christy's like, boy, no matter what happens, we're all gonna get through it. And they're like, yeah, well, we're gonna figure it out. I just hope it's fair sentencing. That's it. Better be fair.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, this should be. This should be a fair sentencing. Like, it won't be, like, 30 years.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, it won't be fair. And that will be in your father's favor. Trust.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yes.

[Ronnie Caram]

So now it's the next morning.

[Ben Mandelker]

Then you'll still complain. You'll still complain.

[Ronnie Caram]

Two hours until sentencing. The boys are getting on their, you know, trusty suits, and Steven's telling us that the dad could get up to 30 years. They don't know what's going to happen. And, you know, they're all starting to drive to this thing. And Jesse's looking over at Christie's phone, and Jesse goes, wait a minute. That headline says USA versus McBee. The government trying to pin us against our own country.

[Ben Mandelker]

The stupidest observation in the history of this show. Do you know how lawsuits work? I died when he said that. I was like, what is wrong with you? I'm being pinned against my own country. You're defrauding people. You're the one who's pinning. You're the problem. It's you.

[Ronnie Caram]

You defrauded the country, you dumbass. So Steven's like, cole, you know, even if something stupid crazy happens, do not break face. Cole. He's like, what do you mean? Don't go punching anything. I'm not gonna punch nothing. Do not get into a fight with a hill.

[Ben Mandelker]

I love that.

[Ronnie Caram]

They were showing at the beginning clips. They're like, everything this family has gone through, and they just show Cole trying to beat up that little mound of dirt.

[Ben Mandelker]

Casey is like, it's scary to think about how Steve could get taken out in handcuffs today. And we don't even get a moment to say goodbye to him. Blair doesn't even get to say goodbye to her grandpa. Blair doesn't give a shit right now, okay? Blair's not gonna be like, when she was 20. When Blair's 25, she's not gonna be like, I remember when I was three weeks old and I got to say goodbye to Grandpa.

[Ronnie Caram]

Where's that old man with, like, eight girlfriends? You know, the baby does not care. So they get to the courthouse. It's one hour until sentencing. And, guys, it's surreal. It's surreal. And so

[Ben Mandelker]

they all, like, park somewhere where they come emerging through, like, a chain link fence or whatever.

[Ronnie Caram]

Where were.

[Ben Mandelker]

Where did you guys park?

[Ronnie Caram]

I know.

[Ben Mandelker]

It was so funny to me.

[Ronnie Caram]

This whole thing was. They're just such fakers because one of them, even. One of them on the way is like, so I never been to this courthouse. My ass. You've never been here. Like, how far even is it? We'll get used to it.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yes, we're sitting here, please.

[Ronnie Caram]

So, Stephen, basically, they're all going in, and then we see the drawings. It's like very. The very intense day in the court. It's just like Boardwalk caricatures.

[Ben Mandelker]

I'm telling you right now. These were not. These. These could not have been real court courtroom drawings. Courtroom sketches. They were so silly. They made the judge look like Simon Van Kempen. I was like, can someone please get. Get out of here with this? This is the silliest thing. Just. They were so silly. And they just kept showing them over and over and over again. And then they're narrating this experience. And Stephen's like, it was a surreal experience walking in this courtroom. And Jesse's like, we're walking into what could be the last time we see my dad for a while. Our country has betrayed us. And then Alice, like, it was. It was real quiet. It was real quiet and real still. I'm like. Because everyone was probably, like, gagging from the smell of Cole's feet.

[Ronnie Caram]

Goes like my dad's. Or asked us all to write letters to talk about my dad's character. Ellie, you go first. Now he's like, oh, my God. Dear honorable Judge Bao, I'm writing this letter in my support of my father in law. No one has done more to support Russians than my father in law.

[Ben Mandelker]

Please say it's time for my letter. Okay. Hello. I consider myself to be the luckiest, most blessed man on the planet for having parental support, love and care, and the ability to somehow haul in the same blood lady from Texas year after year, but with different names.

[Ronnie Caram]

Okay? My daddy Casey's like, dear Judge, I just found out that my house is like a sandwich and Cole's hungry. Please let Blair grow up in her sandwich.

[Ben Mandelker]

Now I understand why they call it a club sandwich, because actually, I don't. I lost my train of thought. Just let him be free, Judge.

[Ronnie Caram]

Cole's like, my feet is. And I don't know why, but I can tell you this. As I got older, my relationship with My daddy changed. No one cares. What the fuck are you talking about? Your dedicated insurance fraud

[Ben Mandelker]

Dear Judge Bows, My feet supposedly smell. I think they smell good, but they say it smells bad. I went to the doctor and they said I have athlete's foot. And I said thank you for acknowledging that I was a quarterback once. So in closing, let my daddy go. Here comes one right now.

You know when you buy something practical like groceries, plane tickets, or honestly I just did a whole I need a new summer clothes because apparently none of last year's clothes survived my emotional support snacking era situation and you realize you're not thinking about what you're buying but how you're paying for it.

I think all of us are most nervous for the judge. I'm nervous for the judge, too. God knows what he's being threatened with.

[Ben Mandelker]

Wait, I'm sorry. Can we. Can we share a little bit of what Jesse said in his letter? He goes, I've never seen anyone as uplifting and positive as my dad. Yep, that's what I think of. I'm like, every time. I'm like, why don't we get a. Well, we get a poster of him with hope under it. I mean, this is a man who is positive.

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, my gosh. So now we go to Jesse and Ali's city house, and the family's all over there, and Galena comes over and hugs Jared, and they're like, oh, my God, Galena, are you okay? She's like, well, obviously, breaking up with Steve, it was extremely messy, but. But I still care about him. I have so many concerns when it comes to business. If Steve goes away, how could Ginger take all on all of this by herself?

[Ben Mandelker]

How will I bash car if there's no one there to buy new car? So they. They come out of the courthouse, and they have this. By the way, they have this fake reporter. This is not a real reporter. But they try to make her look real by blurring out her. Her local news station, which is hilarious, because we know that anytime they need to show a local reporter on Bravo, they just pull someone from an NBC affiliate. We get the tricks, okay? This is an actress. She can't even do the reporter voice right. She's like, we have just received word that a sentence has been handed down. So then they get into the cars. It's very serious. And Stephen Junior's like, I knew as soon as we got into that courtroom that that judge had already made his decision. So it turns out that Steven Sr. Was sentenced to 24 months, and they're all moping. I'm like, you know what? Jen fucking Shaw got sentenced to 7 years. Suck it up, okay? If a real housewife can do the time, you can do.

[Ronnie Caram]

Now, she got, like, five minutes. So you'll be.

[Ben Mandelker]

She served five minutes. Yeah. You'll be fine. Okay? You'll be fine.

[Ronnie Caram]

Casey's like, Well, I mean, 24 months is better than 41 months. Wait a minute. It's just golf or basketball. Not sports, Cole. Numbers. But wait, 41's better because it's bigger though, right?

[Ben Mandelker]

So then Jake is. Then Stephen is like. They're like, wow, you know, it's a lot of months. And Steven's like, it's not the time, it's the dollar amount. It's like, okay, well, so much for all those letters about your dad and how much you loved him. He's like, I don't give you rats in jail. I got, oh, $7 billion now.

[Ronnie Caram]

And Jake the farmhand is like, wait, but how do they add $7 million on top of that? What the hell? Because it's like automatic tipping.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, remember how your dad defrauded the committed insurance fraud? So that's. You know, you're probably gonna have to pay something when that happens. So then Jesse is like, so my dad was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison, and then 3 million in fines and 4 million in restitution. We have six weeks before we have to take him to prison. So I guess. I don't know. I. It's a lot of numbers. It's a lot.

[Ronnie Caram]

It is a lot of numbers. I was like, wow, Jesse, I'm so impressed. He just kind of gazes off. So Cole's like, wow, I'm definitely shocked hearing what my dad got. Sucks, like, it's the worst feeling I ever felt. I don't know where the 7 million is gonna come from, but all I can think about, my dad's not gonna be in our lives for two years. You guys need to stop being so fucking brainwashed. How is nobody pissed at the dad? Nobody's like, wow, you just over your entire family. Not only. No, like, hello. They're like, but I'm gonna miss daddy.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, you guys are all toxic as you're on. You're in messed up relationships and you're in a decrepit, like, fraudulent farm. And they're like, dad's gonna be out of our lives for two years. The judge should have said, you're welcome. Okay, so Stephen Junior's like, well, I'm just glad that they didn't take him away in cuffs because the mini started talking about how a felon is a failing.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

You knew it was over, right? I'm like, oh, gosh.

[Ronnie Caram]

So, yeah, now they have their big. Everyone's like, this Is the worst thing ever. What if they take the farm? What if they do this? What if they take Blair? You know, they all have their kind of, like, little lines.

[Ben Mandelker]

What if they take the combine? Oh, I wonder if that person's gonna get mad at me again this year. That time I was like, oh, my God. Combine's going so slowly in the streets that. What a nightmare. And this person wrote me and was like, you don't understand how to. How the hell does the combine get from one field to another? It's not that simple. So grow up. I was like, okay, sorry, sorry. I offended the combine.

[Ronnie Caram]

The combine community is up in arms.

[Ben Mandelker]

You think these farms just farm themselves? I was like, I understand that there's machinery needed on. On a farm. I don't like being stuck behind it, though. Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

And, you know, at the end of the day, don't care. So, Christy, everybody gathers. The family's all gathering. Christie's the rock, and I think Christie's, like, the informant probably. She's like, get him. You know what Stephen did?

[Ben Mandelker]

I hope so.

[Ronnie Caram]

Check the numbers on that. She's calling Flo. Chuck. Listen here, Flo. I've loved you ever since groundlings chick. And see what this doing,

[Ben Mandelker]

though? She would never call float because Flo works at a company called Progressive, so. That's true.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's true. She's got it blocked from her phone.

[Ben Mandelker]

They would. I think the insurance would be farmers.

[Ronnie Caram]

So Steven went to jail. Thanks, Obama.

[Ben Mandelker]

Don't you understand? We are farmers. So they probably are represented by Aflac. Just because it's probably every time Stephen gets a flat tire, like, ah, flat.

[Ronnie Caram]

Well, we're going to arrest your father for defrauding the company, but he then shot the duck that represents the company Kind of having trouble finding witnesses. Well, gotta eat. So they're all talking about how horrible the sentencing is. And it's wild. Seeing Galena in the same room as the mom. And the producer is like, are we missing one more blonde? And Steven's like, well. Well, here we're probably missing three more blondes, if we're actually counting. Oh, dad.

[Ben Mandelker]

So then Stephen Junior's like, do you guys want to know where dad went? And Sean is like, yeah, he took all of them. It's like, yeah, okay, go up and walk. Go up to his new house. Like, I wonder what's gonna happen with that. Well, he's got six weeks to enjoy his new house. God, it's crazy, because we were hoping that Blair would be able to visit that house growing up, you know? So Casey Is saying that he seems to be a lot better. Steve Senior. That is. He seems to be a lot better leaving than when he went in, you know, and they're saying that he's relieved. There's.

[Ronnie Caram]

He's.

[Ben Mandelker]

The. Steve Senior is relieved because now that they. He finally has an answer, he knows what's gonna happen. So it's like a boulder's been lifted off of. Off of me. That's how I feel. You, Christy?

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. Cole's like, well, now we can move forward. Because at least I'm not just waiting around to see what one guy's gonna say about something. Oh, God. Villainizing the judge. Like, oh, God. Our whole life. So they talk about how the dad's gonna be there for six weeks before he's gone for two years. And there's so much to do, but he's not on camera. The dad's never on camera anymore, so we're not gonna get any of that. So Steven says they have to really blow these businesses up. Times ten, make this okay. So then we go to the next day.

[Ben Mandelker]

One day since sentencing, I'm like, wait, we're still doing the clock. The clock. So the sensing happened. Why are we doing a clock? Afterwards? 24 ends. When the clock hits 24, we don't go into. We don't keep 26.

[Ronnie Caram]

This keeps on going. So they go to have a meeting at the. At the family farm. And Steven's like, let's go to the war room. So Galena's not there. They're like, where's Galena? And Jesse's like, well, I've seen her on Instagram. He's like, I'm a little tired of the Instagram. You know, for the first. For the past year, Galena believes she's a celebrity, and she's been traveling to any and every party she can possibly go to. Even Gretchen's from Real Housewives of Orange County. And that is disgusting even to me. And it doesn't suit well for our businesses that are struggling whether we need Galena to be there fully focused. She needs to be here. Listen is probably the one who's really running this whole thing. I can't believe Galena's not in the pokey as well, because doesn't she have to sign off on everything?

[Ben Mandelker]

You would think so. And if I were them, I wouldn't be mad at Galina going off and acting like a celebrity because she's, like, our only. Like, she's, like, my only way into this show, quite frankly. So, like, let. Let your Bravo ambassador Do run the rounds because, like, that she is a goodwill ambassador as far as I'm concerned. What was that random wedding that she wound up at where we're like, is Galena there's. Is that Galena in the photo? There was some random wedding that happened. This.

[Ronnie Caram]

Was there an Orange. Oh, it was Orange County. It was Alexis Bellino and Johnny J.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yes.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. She's friends with the. Or the Orange county ladies.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. We'll never forget running into Glena at BravoCon. And she was just drunk, and she just sort of stared at us. And then.

[Ronnie Caram]

Oh, she came over to say hi. She was so nice.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yes, but she was really nice. She was really, really nice. But she was. But it was hilarious because she still just sort of. She was like. It was like, next. Standing next to, like, Meredith Marks or something. God, my first problem.

[Ronnie Caram]

That's crazy.

[Ben Mandelker]

In one room.

[Ronnie Caram]

And all the. The McBee guys stood, like, by the doors and their big cowboy hats just stood there the whole time like, hey, so anywho. So he's mad that she's acting like a celebrity, but you are the one who started a podcast where the family goes on and talks about. About this every single week. So I don't. And you were on that millionaire farmer thing. Millionaire? Am I a farmer or a millionaire? The Dayton show, whatever that was.

[Ben Mandelker]

Exactly. So he's upset that Galena has actually tried. Galena is trying to diversify her portfolio by. By leaning into being a celebrity because she sees that this farm is a sinking ship. Okay. But she's not at the meeting. But Tessa's there. By the way, we should mention Tessa's like, I'm here at the meeting, and, well, boys will be boys. Am I right?

[Ronnie Caram]

So. So they're like, so Magdalene is not focusing on business. Cut to Galena at the nail salon with. With her daughter. And they're calling her. She's like, I think I will not take this call. She's like, thanks, mom Con. Finally, you're being a good mother.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, seriously. Her, like, her daughter Erina actually says to her, like, you're almost back to being the person the mom I like.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, you're almost my mom. Galena goes, I'm learning how to do progress. Okay? So then we go back to the war room, and the call goes to voicemail, and they're all pissed. And Cole's like, we're gonna talk to her. We can't have that, not with dad not around. He's like, oh, yeah. Well, yesterday obviously shocked us, but guess what? These banks are coming. They are coming for George Bailey, and we need to do something about it, or we're on. All going down. We are all going down. There is no wavering. There is no weakness. And Cole's like, well, but now we got 3 or 5 or 17 more million dollars to come up with. I don't do numbers.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, Now Dad's going to jail. We know. We've leveraged all the car washes against the farms, and we've used all the equity of the farms, and we can't have one thing go wrong or it's all gonna go under. Sell that. Please. I'm begging you.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's literally the same plot every se.

[Ben Mandelker]

Every.

[Ronnie Caram]

Like, every year, they're like, oh, they are coming for the farm. If we don't make $19 trillion by tomorrow, they are coming for us. We better open a steak company.

[Ben Mandelker]

So, yeah, they have. They owe, like, three or four million dollars more than what they thought they were gonna have to owe. So they're all. They're in a tizzy. And Stephen Jr. Is like, anything we don't need, we're gonna get rid of everyone.

[Ronnie Caram]

Everyone but what?

[Ben Mandelker]

What?

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, Colt, I just can't say nothing no more. So Stephen's, like, trying to say, lead the meeting, and then Cole just keeps repeating, like, a word or two at the end of the sentence. Okay, facility.

[Ben Mandelker]

Okay, everyone, we're gonna say

[Ronnie Caram]

facility.

[Ben Mandelker]

Now, I know we love the. You are.

[Ronnie Caram]

You are.

[Ben Mandelker]

Listen, I know we love the facility. And the first thing I'm taking.

[Ronnie Caram]

Don't even let me talk about me. He's always trying to be the boss of me. Well, I'm gonna get him. Because even when I came up with all that money that time, nobody even gives me no. No nothing. And I'm gonna prove myself. Cause I started the soybeans after I started it behind everybody's back and signed paperwork, probably fraudulently. Nobody gave me credit for that. But then, remember, I made all that other money, too. I should be the boss of this company.

[Ben Mandelker]

Hey, this is Jesse McBee interrupting your stupid monologue, Cole. To remind everyone that this facility was Dad's dream facility, and it'd be a shame if we have to sell it. I was like, oh, gosh. They just keep showing this big building, like, oh, no, the facility.

[Ronnie Caram]

But they have to sell it, and they tell us what's in the facility. And it's like, it's the. It's not only this building. It's the garage, and it's the grain mills and the water mill and the Lego factory and the straw Mill.

[Ben Mandelker]

Like, there's the cupcake factory. There's the Styrofoam plant that makes the cups for mom's lattes. Oh, God. There's a lot of things. They actually have their aviation building. And I was like, an aviation building, I'm assuming, is that for, like, crop dusting? Is it, like, they have to take a plane out and, like, literally fly over the fields and. And, like, spray or whatever? I was like, why do you have an aviation building?

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, they've got a lot of. I'm thinking this is probably not the thing they should sell, because this is.

[Ben Mandelker]

I know. That's. That's what I was thinking, too. I was like, I do feel like there's probably a good case to keep the facility.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, but what about the car washes? We've already taken $3 trillion out on the car wash. Like, you guys. Oh, my God. Guys. And I'm stressed out. I'm like, oh, my God.

[Ben Mandelker]

I just want them to close those car washes so badly. I hate the car washes. I feel like it's like, just get. The car washes are probably the thing that are the most profitable, actually. Car washes are supposed to be. I mean, they're supposed to be a very profitable business.

[Ronnie Caram]

I mean, I'm a Breaking Bad fan, so the second they said car wash, I was like, okay, so we're gonna be laundering some drug money, huh? Okay, well, let's see how this goes. Everything they do is just so shady, you know? And now they're like, can't touch the car wash. All but, well, now we

[Ben Mandelker]

go back to the nail salon, and. Yeah, and this is where Irina's like, no, Mom. I feel like you're. You're almost back to being the mom I knew growing up. She's like, oh, distance cold drunk. Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

I mean,

[Ben Mandelker]

it's great to have you back.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So she says that last year, she stuck. She struggled with anxiety and depression, and, you know, she was hitting rock bottom right when her kid needed her, and she can't do that again. And she's like, I started rebuilding my entire life. I had really great days, bad days. Days where I would put chicken in dishwashers and for revenge. But ultimately, I'm pretty proud of car wash. So.

[Ben Mandelker]

So back to the war room. Okay, so everyone's on board, right? We know the plan. Okay. I've gotta go down to Kansas City because I gotta stop by the airport and pick someone up. Like, wait, what's the plan? Don't shut the up.

[Ronnie Caram]

That's the plan.

[Ben Mandelker]

Go.

[Ronnie Caram]

You change your socks. So what time is it? I'm like, how can you not know the time? It hasn't left the screen.

[Ben Mandelker]

I know.

[Ronnie Caram]

It's like. Meanwhile, Dara.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, Dara.

[Ronnie Caram]

Dara.

[Ben Mandelker]

This is Dara.

[Ronnie Caram]

This is Dara.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Cole is like, I can. I can tell you we won't be hearing from Stephen for the next few days because every time Steven's with a girl, he just forgets about everything else. And then we see a flashback to Stephen claiming that he's brushed aside his personal life to focus on the business. But is that even true? Because now he's going to the airport to pick up Temu Kala. Kayla Kula. Whatever her name was.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah, the stand in for Kala, who just happens to be showing up for the first week of shooting. Wow. What a coincidence. Wow. Can I just say this? I'm. I actually kind of like Calla this lady. Wow, what an annoying lady. Now that's not to say she deserves anything. She got this guy. Steven is such a piece of shit. For those of you who don't keep up with your McBee dynasty news, he's dating this girl, is posting all over that he's so happy. They're so in love. This and that. They go to Stagecoach together. He decides to go to bed early. She's dancing with some guy because they're at a music festival. And he's like, you dumb slut. You stupid. How could you cheat on me? When on this. She released all of his texts because he went on Instagram, was like, oh, God forbid a man goes to bed early with that, his wife, his Jezebel cheating and whatever he does. And then she released all these texts where he's like, you dumb, you. I mean, this guy's real classy. So I hope nobody's buying into this.

[Ben Mandelker]

Like, oh, shucks.

[Ronnie Caram]

Just a good, good guy who just happens to get carbon copies of blonde ladies to torture.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, exactly. So he's really excited. So here comes Ali. Not Kala, but Ally, or I like to think of her. She's not Calla, she's Cal B. Okay.

[Ronnie Caram]

And that's funny. Calby. She's got three of the letters.

[Ben Mandelker]

She really does.

[Ronnie Caram]

She's a very close Scrabble bag to the other one and Face and everything else. So she comes and she's like, oh, my God. His first message was, you are gorgeous, Miss. It was on Instagram. And he said, you're a Nashville gal, hell, aren't you? And I was like, I ain't answering that. Oh, no. Oh, God, I groaned I groaned.

[Ben Mandelker]

You know, honestly, the actual first date that we went on, I've never felt. I've never left the date feeling like, okay, this could be someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with. But I did with her, and she's like, oh, my gosh. And Ally tells us. Wait, I. Oh, no, sorry. I got confused between. So now we actually have two allies on this show, which is really gonna be difficult. So she says, oh, my gosh. I tried to set him up. My sister isn't that hilarious. So she gets in the truck, and they.

[Ronnie Caram]

She's like, very ready for tv, this one. She comes on. She's sitting, like, for the confessional, and she's just, like, got her legs up on the chair. So do my cheek. Do my cheek. Okay, yeah, check out my cheek. Like, oh, gosh. You've been waiting for this moment your whole life, you know?

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, maybe you'll run into her, Ronnie, because she's from Austin, Texas, and she turned 28 in March. She goes, but I'm still holding on. I try on clothes for a living. So that's been fun. And so he's like, we're gonna have a great time. Are you nervous? Because nervous is not the right word. It's unfamiliar, but there's growth that comes with that. I was like, no, prove it.

[Ronnie Caram]

And what is trying on clothes for a living? Does that mean she's a model?

[Ben Mandelker]

I assume she's, like, an influencer, but when she said that, I was like, are you another fit model? It's been a while since we've had Jacqueline. It's been 10 years. Yeah, Jacqueline.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. We need a new fit model. So he's like, well, a little bit spontaneous. She goes, I like being spontaneous. It's just usually not on film.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Brayden and Jake are at Steven's house, where there's apparently mustard everywhere, because Stephen, I guess, really likes mustard. And Stephen has told them to clean up his house because a girl's coming, and so it has to look cute. So they're there. By the way, they're still that annoying ass, like, fake foliage that's on top of all the cupboards. It drives me nuts. But. But anyway, so there's a. They're there.

[Ronnie Caram]

We find out where a lot of that stuff comes from, because we. In the preview recap, we did, like, a trailer trash of this show, and we're like, where did all these pumpkins come from? Where did all this crap come from? Why would Stephen have this? And then we find out he made his brothers Go clean his house and decorate it because he's just too busy. So he had them do it so he could have it be presentable for the woman folk. And that's where all this stupid stuff came from.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. Because, by the way, this entire episode has been so sullen because they're all like, oh, my God, Daddy's going to jail. I'm gonna read my note to the judge again. And so they've been crying all episode. So this is, like our fun and games moment to lighten this, lighten the mood for the season premiere. So they. The brothers are, like, cleaning things up and everything. And they're, like, looking at his Roman swaps for male enhancement and stuff like that. And.

[Ronnie Caram]

And we find out, Roman swipes. I've never heard of these. Had you? Roman swipes. And Jake is like, yeah, it's for male enhancement that make you last longer. Look it up on your phone. So this is the episode we find out Steven lasts, like, two seconds in bed.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

I think it's so funny. Yeah. And it becomes a continuing thing.

[Ben Mandelker]

The idea of anyone being able to enhance Stephen McBee is also a hilarious concept to me.

[Ronnie Caram]

No. Well, roids can't do everything. So Stephen Jr. And Ally are in the car, and we're back with them. And Allie's like, McBee's coffee and car Wash. Your name's everywhere. Everywhere I turn, it's McBee. I had no idea.

[Ben Mandelker]

I regret that now. Don't ever make a brand your last name ever. Horrible idea. Can't hide from the feds as easily.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So they go through the car wash, and he's like, I don't know, she's closed off, or she's got, like, kind of a snotty attitude or what? And then afterwards, I said I was completely wrong. She's not snotty. She's amazing. She's super smart. My brain hurts just from trying to keep up with her.

[Ben Mandelker]

Well, to be fair, I feel like your brain hurts just doing most things.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah.

[Ben Mandelker]

Why is this door not opening? So Braden. Braden and Jake still decorating everything. And they're. They're saying that they have a nicer palette than Stephen, especially when it comes to decorating for girls. But this is all a big misdirect because guess what? Stephen and Ally show up, and the place looks crazy.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. It's got, like, crazy decorations, and it's like. Like, got some Halloween thing that's like, show me your boo bees.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah. It's like, stuff that's like, clearly. Well, they're clearly trolling their brother, right? Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

They're putting like handcuffs on the bed and stuff like that. And meanwhile, Ally's like, so, how's your dad? How you feeling about that whole thing? And he's like, oh, man, that man can handle stress like nobody I had have ever seen. He just starts writing numbers down on contracts and sending them into the government.

[Ben Mandelker]

And Ali goes, so that's where you get it from. What are you saying, that Stephen McBee Jr. Handles the stress? Well, have you seen the veins in his forehead and his neck?

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. Fast forward to Stagecoach. See how I know?

[Ben Mandelker]

Seriously, this car wash has not cleaned my car adequately.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So he's. She's telling us that she would never just go anywhere for a man. But they're so connected. And he's telling us, yeah, you know, I'm just so spontaneous now. This is one of the most spontaneous things I ever did. And then they cut back to the brothers and they're like, don't you think it's a little weird that he's flying in this new girl the day of dad sentencing?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yes. Seriously. And by the way, this is not kind of spontaneous. You did the exact same thing last year with Akala, so.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yes.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yep. Now Cole and Tess are doing some farm work elsewhere. And Cole tells us, even though we just wrapped up harvest, you know what's supposed to be the busiest time of the year, we still have so much work to do on the farm. No matter if we're taking my dad to court, no matter what new girlfriend you got, that's your lifestyle, it's not just your job.

[Ronnie Caram]

Okay, so thanks for the insight.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

And Cole's like, that meeting is something else. Stephen. Don't even let me talk about stuff. I had stuff to say. And Tess is like, well, that just kind of comes from your dad, I think he's like, yeah, but I'm trying to step up. So I'm about to step up. You know, I mean, I don't know if this was the right time to fly in a girl. It's like. Well, I thought it was a little odd myself, but I didn't want to say nothing. You never know how bossy this one was going to be.

[Ben Mandelker]

Blair, she says that she's a. It's like, oh. So then Ally and Steven arrive.

[Ronnie Caram]

Blair's first word. Slot.

[Ben Mandelker]

Slot. Like I said, the farm. So then Ally and Steven, they get to the farm and this is where they see all the silly stuff, the toilet papers and trees. And then, like, the thing is up. That's like boobies and Everything. So Ally's like, okay, so this was his brother. So really what I'm worried about is I don't know if I'm. If I'm about to meet the family, right? Like, am I that hot and attractive that like, he already wants. He wants to make me his bride. Like, what is happening? I don't know what's going on. All I know is I don't think I've seen trees teepeed since high school.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. So Stephen's like, you guys are crazy. Okay. This ain't. These handcuffs ain't mine. I just told you this place isn't decorated like a frat house now look at it.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, it looks so. Yeah, it's. It's like, it's wacky. It's a wacky moment. There's. Hang the handcuffs and everything. And so then Ally's like, oh my gosh, this is crazy. I mean, we haven't even kissed yet. I'm gonna say that a more times, you know, just to tee up a scene where we kiss. We haven't even kissed yet.

[Ronnie Caram]

So the boys did buy tampons because they were like, girls are like that, right? What size do you think she is? The other one's like, well, I mean, just get the small ones because even if she's big, she can use just two of them, right? So she's like, well, I guess it's good that you have tampons. He's like, but I didn't get those though. The one good thing he did, they did. He doesn't even want to take credit for. It's like, I don't want to look gay. So then we go back to Cole complaining to Tessa and he's like, you know, I've been trying to take things on. I beat up a hill. I mean, you would think after closing that 30 million dollar deal this year and paying off all that debt we did with that. I mean, I don't know how I haven't proved to him yet that I can handle. I need proof of this.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah, I need, I need proof. You know, it's not, it's. It's not like I need, you know, told good job every day or I'm trying to show off what I'm doing. You literally are asking to be told good job and show off what you're doing. And that's what you've been doing since last year. It's like, but I was able to sell a bunch of ground to a big investor for $30 million just to pay the debt off with. And yeah, I just feel like she even just still treats me like I'm some sort of idiot. I'm like, that's because you're some sort of idiot.

[Ronnie Caram]

You are. And how much was the land worth you punched? Why did you purchase the land? He's like, I sold $1 billion worth of land for $30 million. I don't know why they're not proud of me.

[Ben Mandelker]

So Steven's showing, you know, Ally around the house and everything. And Cole's still complaining. He's like, I know he wants to fix everything, but I also know he wants to get. To find the right woman and get married. And I want him to get his life straight, you know, because I want him to be happy because I have Casey in my life and I have Blair. I can't tell you. I can't even tell you the help they are to me. The way that Blair helps me drive my car.

[Ronnie Caram]

Car. Ho. We.

[Ben Mandelker]

It's a good thing. That's how I stay on the road. I mean, they keep me going.

[Ronnie Caram]

She's like. She's like my drunk driving straw. Every time I'm about to get in the car, just blow up her nose and see if she gets drunk.

[Ben Mandelker]

Every time I gotta move a bale of hay, I'm like, blair, get out of here. Help me with this. Hey. Gosh, you shut your hell.

[Ronnie Caram]

I put everything into this. I even put Blair on the blackjack table and said, spin the wheel. What are you even playing? So then we go back to Ally and Stephen, and Stephen's like, I'm glad you're here. You look real good. You look real good up here on this farm, Cal. Ooh.

[Ben Mandelker]

What are you saying? I can feel that he's trying to go in for a bit, you know, and my body language is kind of pulling back naturally, you know, look at me. I'm just Ally pulling away from any advances from this guy. Cut to them just making out.

[Ronnie Caram]

Yeah. She's like, I'm a softly kisser. I just love big fat wet one. Right? I mean, he's more of a, you know, you not use tongue. I mean, stick your tongue in my mouth.

[Ben Mandelker]

So anyway, speaking of mouths, we now go to the Jack O Lantern. And so Nicole is like, I've got more in the line that I've had my whole life, and I'm here to take responsibility. I need to. Well, he needs to learn to start respecting you like you respect him and let you grow up and you become responsible. Whatever you need me to say to get out of my office, please. I got Things to do. There's dribble doors that need to be fixed.

[Ronnie Caram]

But this farm player needs this farm. Get the hell out of here already. Jesus Christ. So it ends with Steve Jr. And Allie sitting together on the swing. The new completely, like, authentic couple we've all been waiting for.

[Ben Mandelker]

Everything's fine. Everything's. Look, will they lose the farm? Maybe. But will they gain true love? Absolutely.

[Ronnie Caram]

Of course.

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]

Guys, it all works out in the end, okay?

[Ben Mandelker]

Yeah.

[Ronnie Caram]
