My name is TJ Raphael. I'm the host of Liberty Lost, a new podcast about who gets to be a mother and the control of young women hidden behind the veil of faith. Binge all episodes of Liberty Lost ad free right now on Wondery Plus. Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker and Ronnie is still out on his vacay, a much deserved, much needed

vacay and joining me in his place is someone who I am incredibly fond of. He is so funny and he is on the up and up. You may not, he may even be there. He may even be there. His name is Eric Williams and you can find him as the host of That's a Gay Ass Podcast, among many other things. Welcome to the show, Eric. How are you doing? Then I'm doing not only so gorging, but this is a dream come true. I have, can we tell the listeners that I was a fan of yours first? This is a safe space. You can say whatever you want. Well, I'm going to say a lot.

And the first thing I'm going to say is that my dear gay husband, Matt brought me to a watch the crap in his live show and the year of our Lord 2017, I fell in love with you, Ben and Ronnie. And then when I started my gay ass podcast, you so beautifully said yes about coming on. And now I'm actually recording a show about a brother, a family of four bros in Missouri, my home state. Pinch me, Ben. Pinch me this. Uh, I, I will, I will pinch you. I am,

I am so hashtag blessed by Your kind words and I have to say that now as you say that like you start off as a fan of the podcast And now you're here on the podcast that makes you kind of like the Janet of watch what crap is right It either makes me the Janet or a make-a-Wish foundation where I'm just such a sad gay twink that's just looking to get screen time. But I guess Janet, you could say she's a bit of a sad twink looking for airtime. Yeah, exactly. But you're much better than Janet, I will say. Everyone should go listen to Eric's podcast, which is, is it a weekly podcast?

It is, yeah, every single week. God, who is this? Who is this person? You have a gorgeous guest on this this episode There's there's a man this man on This guy right here is that latest guess here's the deal Here's the deal is I interview like either gay guys where I ask them whose fault is it that you're gay or I ask? Women who the gays be loved including one miss Lisa Rinna has done the podcast. Yes.

A shallow did the pod. But that gorgeous man you just showed me is on the sub stack bonus episode, right? Really spicy. And those are every Monday for the spicy ones. And every Wednesday is the main pot of spice, but hot guys on the spicy ones, Lisa Rinna and Laura Bonanti, et cetera. Well, listen, when Rinna did the pod, she actually like made a headline because she said that the Beverly Hills current season that she was not on was sinking like the Titanic.

And then Andy Cohen confronted her on his serious show. And she was like, Andy, trying to like say that we took her words out of context. And then she on her own podcast told Harry Hamlin that, uh, we misconstrued her words, which listen, I was mad for about three seconds and I was like the honor of being in Ms. Lisa Rinna's web of lies. You know, again, pinch me. Maybe someday you'll get blocked the way we are by her.

You know, again, maybe someday you'll get blocked the way we are by her. You know, I can only hope and I can only hope blocked by Lisa. Although I don't think it was a mean block. I think she wanted when she left Beverly Hills, she just sort of like blocked everything. It wasn't one of the clean break. Yeah, no, no, we are like, there's no issue.

No, do you think Rinna will ever go back to Bravo? I think she would a hundred percent. She's she is a working actress and she understands the value of a paycheck. And if they say, Hey, we're going to pay you look, a job is a job for her. She will do the depends commercial. She'll go back to Bravo. I mean, she still is talking about Real Housewives a lot, so it obviously matters to her. So I don't think she cares at all. She will follow the money. She has that instinct in her.

I think you're right. And that's a good instinct to have. Oh, especially when you're a Hollywood actress like she is. I just think that the fans, when we posted clips from her, people like hate Lisa Rinna. Like the comments are, the two people that the watchers really hate, Lisa Rinna. And then have you been reading the comments on Tamra? Actually we can do a tie into the McBee dynasty because Tamra was on Watch What Happens with

Steven Jr. and all the comments were dragging her facelift. Yeah. I mean, Tamra definitely, I think that obviously people hate Tamra. She's like one of the classic villains of Bravo and But I think that Tamra's a little bit more comfortable in the villain role I think she's actually like fine with it and she enjoys it. I think that Rinna says that she's comfortable with it I don't think she is I think that she is like crying at her see You know, it's honestly when I see her trying to be cool with it in my mind I always think ooh, you're so angry Rinna. That's what I'm thinking. I turn it's honestly, when I see her trying to be cool with it in my mind, I always think, Ooh, you're so angry, Rinna. That's what I'm thinking. I turn it on her. She doesn't seem

I think she, I don't think that she's comfortable. I think she, she's pretending like she's owning it. But she's so angry. Rest in power to Denise Richards marriage. I know. I know. Rest in power to that seemingly forever marriage that is no longer forever. Well, maybe the- I can't believe it folded. Who was chasing them in the cars? Was it mafia? Big Pharma.

Sorry, Big Pharma. Big Pharma was. So maybe the Big Pharma got to their marriage. Yeah. They'll get to you no matter what. You got to be careful. But by the way, I just want to say before we dive into today's episode, which is all about McBee dynasty, you have a live show this week in New York. Was it Friday? Brian McGrady It's actually Thursday. Pete Slauson Thursday. Brian McGrady Yeah, so I'm doing this new solo show that is very gay, very Jewy for any of our

Jewesses out there. It's called Why All the Drama, where I tell my tale of going from a nice Jewish boy from Missouri to a gay Jewish slut in Los Angeles. And I'm very excited to do it in New York. And then the plan is to tour it to a few cities in the fall. So keep a look see how for those dates. I love your ambition. I love what's going on here with you. And you wrote it yourself and I did. Yeah, honestly, I'm not just buttering your biscuit. I like ever since starting to listen to your pod and Danny Pellegrino. I've been so inspired by people just making shit happen for themselves. And so I finally did enough therapy to say enough is enough and

just put your shit out there. Yeah, just do it at a hundred percent. Put your stuff shit out there. I went to one of your live shows, which is a different type of live show. Yeah, just do it. A hundred percent. Put your shit out there. I went to one of your live shows, which is a different type of live show. And you were so great and so talented up there. You're really very, very, you're a very natural performer. So I highly recommend if, if you're going to be in New York on Thursday, where is the show going to be? Red Eye, it's right in the middle of Midtown, close to all of the action, 7pm on Thursday. And then after, we can flirt, grab a beverage. And if you want to talk about McBee Dynasty, I am happy to.

I don't know if you're going to want to do that. I'm going to say please talk to Eric about McBee Dynasty because I feel so bad that I made you watch this show. And then when you text me over the weekend, you're like, okay, I'm like midway through season one. I was like, oh no, please don't watch season one to cover the show. I didn't even do that. I was like, I am not going to watch. I did aspire to, but did you? Oh yeah. Well I saw that you,

cause Ronnie watched the whole thing and loved it and you kind of, I was going to, and you were going to, I, listen, I wanted, I have like trauma from being a grade A student where I was like, well, I better find out the full herstory of these awful men. But once you said not to watch the first season, I said, bloop, turned off Peacock and then went straight to this current season, which, hey, at least I only had to watch three episodes. That's way too many to watch. So I was originally like, okay, I'll watch it because Ronnie was really good.

He like, he watched that full first season. But then I thought, or I can give myself an out and say, hey, I'm a Bravo viewer. So I'm going to watch McBee dynasty like I am a Bravo viewer. Not because I don't feel like I have to research it. They're dropping the show on us. So I have to react like a Bravo viewer, not like a NBCU completionist. And so therefore I saved myself a lot of time and effort

and just like dove in for season two. And so now we are on episode three of this show. What do you think about McBee dynasty by the way? And this is a safe space. You can be positive or negative, however you feel. You know what? I'm going to here's my honest take is that I have was prepared to hate it. And I like it more than I thought only because we have a lawsuit involved and two Russian women competing for one terrible man. The personal interpersonal drama dramatics, I think there's a lot of promise

there. What I would rather gouge my eyes out than watch is the business BTS of the McBee meat business. I do not care if they can get 4000 pounds of brisket to this barbecue restaurant. I do not care if their car washes stay open. I care who's getting dicked down by whom and when. That's what I think actually speaks to me. And we're chickens killed in the process. I think that I am, I was oddly invested in that stupid,

like a brisket, get brisket to the restaurant storyline. I don't know why. Well, I just wanted to eat good barbecue, and I hope the patrons of that restaurant were getting their brisket. But like, you said before we hit record how Steven Jr. is a terrible actor, and that's what's really been getting to me.

That's, you can tell the scenes that are like, he's reading off of the script that the producers told him, and that's where been getting to me. You can tell the scenes that are like, he's reading off of the script that the producers told him. And that's where I spoke right now. It's like high school improv. It's like when he comes in. It's community theater. It's so bad.

I remember one time in summer camp, there was, I went to a summer camp for the arts. Which one? It was called Long Lake Camp for the Arts. Shout out. Yeah, Adirondacks. Shout out, Long Lake Camp called Long Lake Camp for the Arts. Shout out. Yeah, Adirondacks. Shout out Long Lake Camp Long Lake in the Adirondacks. And I remember that like, you know, all day long,

you had different like periods, right? And like you could take, you know, you could do woodworking or this or that. There's all these things you could do. And one of them, one thing you could do is improv. And I did, that was my only improv experience in life is taking improv. At Camp Long Legs.

At Long Lake Camp when I was in eighth grade. And I remember then every Friday, there would be a performance. And so it'd be like a showcase of what all the performing arts sort of people were doing. And so there'd be like, you do like an improv thing. And I remember one week, I wasn't, at this point I wasn't even,

I don't know why I wasn't part of this, but they decided, hey guys, let's do like serious improv where we're gonna improv, but not to try to be funny, but we wanna act out a serious scene, but all improv. And I just remember. What setup did they give you for children? I just remember it was, it was these two guys and they were just talking and they were improv in their way through a scene. I just remember them being like, you don't

understand, man. Really hurt what you did. Really hurt. They were like talking nonsense, but with all these sort of like, it was like the equivalent of if you told chat GPT to write a very serious scene between two characters and like that always stood with me. That's that ridiculous scene up there on stage. You really hurt me, man. You hurt me, man. You didn't even know you didn't like the escalating voices. And so when I see Steven Jr. fighting, that's what it sounds like to me. It's like him being like,

we gotta hurry up. You don't even know, man. You really hurt me, man. It's like, Oh man, this guy. It's no, it's, it's, it's so, I understand that he is so hot that they think that he can carry a show. I understand that he wears cut out tank tops where we can see his nipples and listen, I'm here for that. But my theater camp story unfortunately is not as devastating as yours. But it was my first role at Camp Sabra Jewish summer camp at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri shout out They made up a role in you're a good man Charlie Brown. I was not Woodstock the yellow bird No, no, I was Woodstock's friend. Is he in the script? No, he is not. Oh I've had many I've had many original roles that one line added in that way I could be a participant originated byinated by Ben Mandlacher. I have some roles that I have originated in like, um, uh,

give my regards to Broadway's this grade. I killed it. Uh, I've told the story. I played like a Newsy and I had one line and I forgot it. I forgot it on stage. But look at you now, Ben, look at you now. I've, I've told the story. I will tell it again. There was like a scene where there's a character named Harrigan who like walks in and like we're all kind of newsies and we're all supposed to be like, Hey, how are you? What are you doing there?

Like, what's like, well, what do you want to play some grabs? Or something like that. We're all sort of like speaking in that way. And my line was, we were looking for you, Harrigan. So when it comes to with all the pattern, I'm like, Hey, we were looking for you, Harrigan. So when it comes to with all the pattern, I'm like, hey, we were looking for you, Harrigan. That's all I had to say is we were looking for you, Harrigan. And it was a two night engagement Thursday, Friday, Thursday night, nailed it. I was like, we were looking for you, Harrigan.

I mean, it was it was a star making role. Yeah. Next night, I was like, oh, it was so easy. I don't even have to be nervous anymore. So we got up there and say, and I just zone out. I'm not paying attention. And then you sort of feel that silence and like, oh, it's my time to speak. And in my mind, I wanted to say, where were you, Harrigan? But I knew that wasn't the line because the line was we were looking for you.

So I want to say where were you? Then I was like, that's not the line. And then I froze and I was like, now I can't remember what the line because the line was we were looking for you. So I wanted to say where were you? Then I was like, that's not the line. And then I froze and I was like, no, I can't remember what the line was. And I stood there and I froze and there was a piano on stage right next to me and I lurched over onto the piano. I slammed my hands down the piano and I go and I literally go, Harrigan, do something. I literally said that. Okay. Tell a novella queen. The only wrong choice is a small choice. Listen, when in doubt, bang the closest set piece and scream the first phrase that comes to mind.

Wait, what age were you? Oh, I was, I think I was, um, 12, 11 or 12. And I don't remember. I remember I was like, 11 or 12. And I remember I was like so embarrassed and the director was like, oh, it was fine, Ben, don't worry. But then like afterwards we all watched like the VHS copy of it because someone like filmed it. And you really see me up there on stage,

lurching over onto piano, screaming, do something. I mean, like, you just have all this like fast pattern, like, hey, Harry, we're looking for you, we're looking. Do something. I mean, like, you just have all this like fast pattern, like, hey, how are you? We're looking for you. We're looking for you. Do something! All right, here we go. Fast pattern, devastating silence.

Boom, crash. And then some young gay boy making a splash. So anyway, the point is that we all make choices in life. And one of those choices is watching the McBee Dynasty. I don't think it's a very good show. I think it's like you, it's a little bit better. I thought the first episode of the season was better than I was expecting.

The second episode I thought was so bad. I was like, I don't know if I can ever watch this again. Because it really felt like a, it really did not feel like a Bravo show at all. All the music cues were off. It was just like, everything was very fast. It was all like narrated. It just was like, it just felt like some shitty A&E show or something like, I was like,

please get this off of this is not Bravo brand. But then actually last night's show was a little bit better. I thought it like sort of came back to life a little bit. Like, I was starting to see the natural, the people who are naturals at like, you can tell when the drama is not made up. So like, when, like, I, actually curious about your opinion. Kala, Kala, Kala, Kala. Good TV, bad TV. How do you feel? I spent a little bit more time thinking about Kala than I'd like to admit today. And I don't

know if she's good TV. There's part of me that's like, you know what, Kala kind of sucks. I don't know. Like it seems like she's getting the raw end. Like, cause again, I don't have the context of last season, but it seems like she's getting dicked around by this guy, but she's also kind of like whiny and annoying. And I'm like, you know what, I'm not going to co-sign Calla given that I'm probably not going to co-sign many people. What do you think? I don't know.

It's just the sister dying sort of like gave me some empathy towards her. And I just, I think that when we look at Kala on her own, we think she's a nay, we think she's a chop. But when we compare her to the other girlfriends who have that's true glass eye, doughy eye, deer and headlights, like no personality. And like, at least Calla is like kind of a bitch. Give me something to hold onto. Like Casey and Cole kill me. Literally, literally.

Yeah, I agree. I mean, it's not, you're not really, it's not the Hamilton sisters we've got going on here. This is just like. She's giving, they're all giving Aunt Peggy. They're all Aunt Peggy. Yeah, they're not great. Um, well let's dive into it. Let's dive into this recap as best as we can. It's season, it's season two, episode three. This episode is actually called, um, the great

chicken massacre, which, um, you know, I guess that's appropriate. Wasn't as massacre as I thought it should have been given that name. Like it was, I would have liked, if you're going to name an episode of the great chicken massacre, I want to see like, I want to say lots of dead chickens, guts, and I want to see people like entering a chicken coop, falling to their knees, blood on their hands, screaming to the ceiling. Yeah. Instead of like a really anticlimactic FaceTime. Is the baby there? How many babies? Uh, nine.

Oh, they're supposed to be 12. Okay. Where's, where is the massacre? Yeah. Only three chickens died. And I feel like, I feel like you have to kill more chickens to create more emotion. I'm sorry. I started the animal lovers out there, but given that chickens are like killed on the regular for, you know, consumption losing three just did not like hit me with the same. A massacre does not make. No, I think like if you kill one dog, it's like awful.

And I'm saying that as someone who's not even dog person, like that's terrible, but it takes probably about, I'm gonna say it takes about 120 chickens to reach the empathy levels of one day. Now I think that's the emotional burden of the chicken death affecting our psyches. 120, you know, one dog. How many cats?

Well, for me, it's like half a cat. Yeah, a scratch on the cat. Because I love cats so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Especially a cat. I'm like, how dare they. I'm a dog person, but I do love a kitty cat as well. Uh, but also, no, but I think honestly, one dog, one cat, like equal levels of dismay, but I think for chickens you have to kill, you just have to kill many more chickens to get the

same level of dismay. And I feel terrible saying that. And I know that there are animal lovers and I'll probably get some messages being like, how could you say that chickens are animals and the beautiful burgers are actually people are going to say they're actually a lot smarter than you think they're going to do all that stuff. I love when we're, when the show takes place at a literal farm where they are serving up the meat of these animals, I think we're allowed to say that we can talk about chicken death with a little less sensitivity to any of the angry listeners. Yeah, like I'm so sorry that there were three chickens that died at the that that belonged

to a man who kills cows every single day. Right. And maybe Galena maybe was a part of three chickens dying. But do we have a single shred of evidence? Or the car that she maybe created or the frying pan that she maybe, I'm like, these producers are banging, stealing chickens. They are doing all that they can to create a single plot line for this show. Trey Lockerbie They're doing a lot of great prop work. So we opened with Kala lying in bed and her friend Madison calls because Kala lying in bed,

and her friend Madison calls, because Kala moved down to Dallas, because she's like, I've had it, Steven. I've had it. Because I think she found out that Steven told everyone in the family that Kala hates them, and then she's sort of like, he kind of like really embarrassed her,

and like really soured relationships. So I think that's why she left and went back down to Dallas. If I remember correctly, I shockingly have already forgotten because it was not riveting enough for me to stay in my brain for more than three years. But see, that's the only part of the Stephen Kala thing that gets to me, which is that Stephen told all of his siblings and their girlfriends

to not reach out to her when her sister died. I'm like, that's so shitty. Fucked up. That is so like, that's a man. Like, like root, like kicking a girl when she's down and these, and these math terrible. That is, I mean, look, if someone gets mad at us about our lack of empathy about chicken murder, but that they don't come down on this man right now, like you better know your priorities because this person that has really fucked up, that has fucked up. And also it's fucked up is that this entire family obeyed,

that they didn't say, you know, I'm going to reach out because she's a human and I know her. They were like, well, Steven says so. So, you know, Stan Steven says that she called us hillbilly fucks. So we're now not going to text her when her sister died. That is not, it's not like one dog to one chicken. Yeah. Yeah, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah, exactly.

Thank you for your understanding. Math is a math thing. Yeah. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial. Being an actual royal is never about finding your happy ending. But the worst part is, if they step out of line or fall in love with the wrong person, it changes the course of history.

I'm Arisha Skidmore Williams. And I'm Brooke Zephrin.

So she's mad, so she decided to move all the way back to Dallas for two days. So she moved to Dallas. She's like, I am done with Steven. I absolutely am done with him. But I also want him to co-sign on my apartment. Girl, why? Why do you like this? That's not how you break up with someone. It's the way you break up with someone when the sex is that good. Do you think they're having, do you think that's why? A hundred percent. That's what's keeping them together.

She's like, that's how you break up with someone when you want someone to call and beg you to come back. Yeah. And I think they stare at themselves in the mirror when they have sex. That's the kind of people they are, I think. I think definitely. And I think they probably have a lot of shower sex, which is why she went into the shower as soon as she came back.

So she has this whole thing where she drags out all of her girlfriends. She's like, I am done with him. And then they're like, they get drunk at a bar in Dallas and they're the girls at the bar going, woo! And blasting. Bye, Steven. Bye, Steven.

Bye. Oh my God, shots for Cala. They even have a sign that says by Steven, which, you know, of course as a memory, it both harkens back to Southern hospitality, the Southern hospitality signs, but also reminds me of the time when Brittany went down to, um, went to a club for her, like a bachelorette party and they brought out a sign that said dump jacks or something and then she lost her mind, right? Well, I also love the throwback to a woman doing the splits

on a Bravo television program because she did the splits not once, not twice, but three times. On her little phone recap with her friend, which I do appreciate her Dallas friends I kind of thought that the little sneak peek the little peek we got of them was more interesting than fucking Kate Casey and Ally Okay, Casey Not Kate Casey, I stuttered KC K Casey fellow podcasters catching a stray

I was like, damn, KKC fellow podcast are catching a stray. She's not as boring as KKC. No, I love KKC. It's KC and Allie who are just such terrible television. Listen, I don't think they signed up for it. I don't want to go on too hard on them because they did not sign up for the show. But they're at least Catalyst friends are doing the splits in a bar. Give us something. Yeah.

You, they didn't have to sign up for the show, but they could have also signed up for some personality and that's not hard to do. So instead what we get as we go back over to Missouri, to Gallatin, Missouri, um, was that near where did you grow up in Gallatin by the way? Please, please say yes. Oh, I wish I could, I could lie to you and say I did. I'm actually from the other city. Whenever they say the city and I'm like, what are they talking about? And I found out it

was Kansas City. I'm from St. Louis, Missouri. So I'm like really from the metropolitan center of Missouri. But Gallatin is like, I mean, I did not know about it until this show. I mean, last time I checked, there was no arch in Gallatin. So don't get it twisted. Yeah. Gallatin has like, I'm sure farms and then people, fucking animals. Like I think that's as much excitement as goes down in Gallatin. Hmm. I'm sure it's actually very lovely, but it's no St. Louis. That's for sure. So Casey, speaking of which, here's something exciting happening in Gallatin. Cole and Casey are at the drive, not the drive through there, like stop to like, at like the gas station or whatever.

And Coles going to get some snacks and Casey, she's pregnant. So she wants all these things. She wants like peanut M&Ms and she, she says, I want some peanut M&Ms, body armor, popcorn chicken and a honey mustard. I like maybe chips baked or, or kettle cooked or can get me one of those pickles. That's it. So that's fine. You know, it's funny pregnancy thing. Body armor. Where did the body armor fit into that

list? I was confused too about the body armor. In fact, snack. Well, I think it's actually, it is a drink, uh, but it's like a sports drink with a terrible name. Cause what's the, when you think of body armor, what does your brain go to? I think of like a bulletproof vest. Right. Isn't there like, I think of like Axe body spray. That's where I go.

Oh yeah. Or that's, first when you say body armor, I thought it might've been like a deodorant or something like that. Yeah, give us some body armor. You like this body hammer and Axe body spray, so body armor together. It's a fruit punch coconut water hydration

with potassium and vitamins and electrolytes. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. I hate that she ordered it. It says everything about her. So yeah, so he's getting her food. And then we go over to the McBee Farm and Cattle Company and so Stephen McBee is at his desk and he's trying to reach Galina.

So Galina's gone missing because she is spiraling because her best friend Masha has basically taken over her role as lover to Stephen McBee Senior and Galina's not having any part of it. So she's now gone AWOL and no one knows where this woman is. I mean, in my mind, it's like you fire her. Like she's fired right away. Like you are this, I don't know what her role is,

CFO, CF something? Yeah, the chief financial office stress. Yes, so she should be fired. And because here's the thing, she's gonna, if they're concerned that she is gonna like out all the skeletons, she's gonna do that no matter what. She already starts to do it this episode. So just get ahead of it and fire her

because why should you pay for someone to make your life hell, right? Oh yeah, I think that the way that Steve Senior is running this business and then having romantic triangles with the women that are running the actual company, he possibly is one of the dumbest men on Bravo, which is saying a lot. Yeah. And he's not even, we don't even get to see him. So he is apparently in Cosmo

at the moment with Masha on vacation and Galina is like, she's triggered. She can't deal with it. She had to go. She's just, she's disappeared. We don't know what, like what hell she's causing, but we know she's up to no good. But whenever she goes, goes away, it's like in those movies where someone's like a werewolf and they like disappear and they come back and they're like shirt is tattered and they've just killed someone. Right. I'm assuming that's what happens. I don't know if I've actually seen too many werewolf movies.

I haven't either, but I'm going to co-sign that. I also think it's funny that Steve took Masha on vacation and somehow Galina found out and he has no idea how she, I just love thinking of Galina as like a Russian operative who is somehow underneath every single bad thing that's going on at this company. Well you have to imagine that Masha probably sent a photo to Galina. It was like, oops, sorry, wrong number. Didn't mean for you to see that. Oopsies. You know, they have some strange.

That was for my sister, Galina. Yeah, no, she Masha is I'm confused about what is happening organically. I'm not I'm not surprised that Steve senior is fucking another Russian blonde that I'm not surprised about. I am curious about if Masha and Galena were actually best friends. That's my question. That is a really great question. So Stephen is like, he's, he's walking around the office and he's pissed and we know he's pissed because he's like, I can't get ahold of her. I am pissed. I am pissed. Look at me. I'm angry. The producer said I should be angry. So I'm going to be angry right now. So he's huffing and puffing. And I love Kara in the office. She's the administrative assistant. I don't know if she had a larger,

if she's had a role in season one, but Kara pretty much sits at this little desk and has like very big reactions. She has a sort of reaction of like an extra who's doing too much in the background of a scene. You know? Yeah, it's kind of like in all the scenes like when Aviva's leg was thrown

and then you cut to like the gay guy sipping of a scene, you know, it's kind of like in all the scenes, like when Aviva's leg was thrown and then you cut to like the gay guy sipping of gin and tonic. Yes. That's a big mouth. Yes. She's the version. She's the less fun version of that for this show. Yes. So he's like, Karen, have you seen Galena? She's like, I have not seen her. OK, well, I have to go down to the city and not the other city with the arch.

You know that not that one with all that. all those gays there with the mustaches. No, we're going to Kansas City drag me called you out I was like really I couldn't believe you said that I couldn't either but you know what if he wants to see my mustache in Person, I would unfortunately let him take a close look I'm not proud of that Ben but a take a close look. I'm not proud. I'm not proud of that, Ben, but a toxic man from Missouri. I've been known to fantasize about from, from age 13 to now. This show must be really doing something for you. This is really, this is a real, this is a real hot bed of toxic men from Missouri.

I know, I know it's, it's not surprising that I, uh, No, it's not surprising that I am into men who cannot communicate and shut down whenever you wanna have any sort of emotional conversation with them. I would never say that about Steven Jr. So he seems very emotionally mature and very communicative at all times.

Right, he's not a eight year old child and the man of, and the body of like a gorgeous weightlifter. Yes, precisely. So he's saying that he's like, I've always defended Galina because her work ethic and what she's done for the company. But now I'm at this point, there is no work ethic. She's just gone.

So then we just hear like a singer being like, take my hand, take control, take my body, take my soul, which not sure why that was the song for the moment, but sure. Why not? And, uh, Steven goes to Brian's barbecue over in Kansas city and he has a meeting there with the guys there. And basically it's like a potential new client for their meat. And so, you know, uh, you know, so he's like, well, you know,

it seems like every celebrity that's come to Kansas city, they stop here at this place. I mean, they, they've that this place is transcended Kansas city. I mean, I know there've been some presidents that have eaten here and then the owner is like, and you know, Ted Lasso's favorite barbecue sauce is from year two. Like sure. Can you explain that to me? What does that mean? This Ted lasso's character drinks on the show, their barbecue sauce. I guess Ted lasso's, um, favorite Barbie, I guess,

I'm sure there was this, I didn't watch Ted lasso. I didn't either. Is Ted lasso, I thought that was a character. Correct. Ted lasso is not a real person, but this guy is like, yes, we've had presidents who've come here, but more importantly, a fictional character on Apple TV plus really enjoys our bare minimum size. Once enjoyed. My other favorite thing is that they cut to the biggest celebrities and presidents, which Barack Obama, shout out, but then Donald Glover. Yeah. Well, that was also funny that like, it's like Obama was there, but like, but more boardly

Ted Lasso likes our barbecue sauce. And by that I mean Danny Glover, Danny Glover. Isn't that who it is? It's I only remember seeing there was there. It's Danny. They show a picture of Barack Obama and then Danny Glover who like, you know, he is a great actor lethal weapon we love,

but it's just very funny to me that like they could have given us a full range of the celebrities and we see, we hear about Ted Lasso, and then we see Danny Glover. And then Obama, like, you know, you know, um, I just feel like, um, if I were Andy and I was on national TV and I got to brag about the celebrities that came to my restaurant, I don't, I just don't know if Ted Lasso, Ted Lasso, I know people loved people love Ted Lasso to honestly an annoying degree.

Like it's kind of the bane of my existence. I just think that like, I don't know. Oh, but I guess he knew he was like, he's like the moment he like brags to Steven Jr. You know, Obama came in here, Stephen Jr. was like, well, it's nice meeting you. I don't think we need to ask who these people are voting for. He's like, well, anyway, I, you know, I don't know if army is a good match for you guys. I want to see I want that version of the show where we got to like have like maybe one of the girlfriends voted

Democrat and then like they actually have to talk about that. Like that would be a fun version of family drama. Yeah. Like turns out Casey, Casey was like, well, actually I think that Bernie Sanders has some interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Casey's a really good thing. She has, she has like an Elizabeth Warren t-shirt that she puts, hey guys, what's going on today? I'm actually really anti-ice and all the people, all the other brothers are like, What?

How dare you? So anyway, these people, the restaurant puts in, they're thinking about like working with McBees and so they want to put in a big order and they really care about timing because they have to because they have to start that start smoking their meat you know at a certain time in the day. And of course they need to set up the plotline that you know do you see it being an issue no I don't see being an issue we have run a very large operation we run about 2000 head

cow half payers all Angus he's given telling them why their business is always incredibly dependable. So of course this business deal will only be smooth, right? Oh, I'll be, it will be the smoothest. Honestly, I was, I was sort of like watching the scene and I was like, why is the scene going on so long about make about making a deal for beef? And I wasn't even thinking you were smart And I wasn't even thinking, you were smart because I wasn't even thinking they were setting anything up. I thought it was just like, this is what we do as meat people. I didn't even realize that I was being set up.

I only realized it when they started to go so specific about their delivery windows. I was like, I understand the show is bad, but there needs to be some sort of purpose for me learning about the delivery window of this random barbecue restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri. And then Steven Jr. goes, I'd rather over communicate than go dark and do anything to mess your guys business function. And so it's like, okay, I understand that the business function is incredibly

important. Apparently for this goddamn show, I don't care about brisket delivery windows. I feel like there's a world where I would care, but it's not going to be on this show. I think I would need the show to be specifically about that. It would have to be called brisket delivery windows. I'm like, you know what? I think I'm interested to see how that show works. Right.

It's really specifically about that. But if I'm tuning in to see like messiness and then I'm like sitting and having to endure a conversation about brisket delivery windows, you know, it's not a fit for me. Well, I think the problem that we're really sort of broaching over and over is that Steven Jr. is not the right person

to be at the center of this. Because if like Galena was a part of doing all the logistics, because she's always very dependable, but then because of her heart being broken, she starts to lose her mind and then actually starts fucking up. Sure. But it kind of seems like Stephen always sucks at his job. They're always like, he never comes to the farm. He never comes to the field to help with the fire. And then he's like, well, duh, he sucks. He does suck. He really does suck. Honestly. I know he has like a great body and everything. I don't enjoy his like sleeveless tees that he does.

I don't like the way that he cuts them. He can't even do that right. You know, I know, I know he's showing it. I like looking at them. I'm sorry. No, no, no, no. I enjoy looking at the muscles. He's showing up. I don't like, I feel like there's like a better way to do it. I don't know.

Oh, sure. You know what? It's for me, it's like, it's like taking care of the young version of me in Missouri who like felt insecure about being like either gay or like different. And I'm like, you know what? At least he's like a slut with no taste. At least that's how we showing his, his difference. His true colors are having terrible tastes,

but at least wanting to show off his pointy nipples, his nipples and his like very, very wide lats that like kind of poke out like really like, can I say something really specific too? They show something, they do a clip of him over his shoulder and I saw a little bit of hair on his shoulder and I was like, I feel seen.

It's a dream. It's a dream. It's a dream. Your brisket delivery window was met at that moment. Also, all 4,000 pounds that they're trying to get every single week. That's a lot, that's crazy.

There's a lot of brisket. Commercials, here comes one right now. Today is the worst day of Abby's life. The 17 year old cradles her newborn son in her arms. They all saw how much I loved him. They didn't have to take him from me. Between 1945 and the early 1970s, families ship their pregnant teenage daughters to maternity homes and force them to secretly place their babies for adoption.

In hidden corners across America, it's still happening. My parents had me locked up in the Godparent home against my will. They worked with them to manipulate me and to steal my son away from me. The Godparent home is the brainchild of controversial preacher Jerry Falwell, the father of the modern evangelical right and the founder of Liberty University where powerful men emboldened by their faith Determine who gets to be a parent and who must give their child away Follow Liberty Lost on the wonder EAP or wherever you get your podcasts So then we hear another transitional song and hey mama will you be my lover I need you in my life

I took my time went round and round, but I really need to get this right. Sure. Sure. I think that was an ode to the brisket by the way, really need to get this brisket delivery. Right. Yeah. And I think it's giving like if selling sunset was doing the dumbest country songs you've ever heard. Selling Gallatin.

So Cole is sitting at a computer and he's trying to design a flyer for a gender reveal, which I'm in general, I'm like very opposed to gender reveals. I think they're absolutely annoying. I think they're unnecessary and they're just an excuse for people to like book your time and energy and like light things on fire. I just don't want to see them at all.

And so of course, Cole is going to be doing a gender reveal. That's like the least surprising news of all to come out of this. And what's even less surprising is that they're involving a helicopter. It's like, I think, I think gender reveals are usually quite annoying, but I think if they're within the bounds of a kitchen, if you're slicing into a cake on an island, God bless, live your truth. I love any excuse to have dessert. However, when we start to see pyrotechnics,

military aircrafts, I think we've lost the plot. Anything that involves smoke. Because the truth is, is I don't know if I inherently care that much about the gender reveal. And maybe that's just me because I'm just like ice cold on the inside. I don't really care. Like just tell me, I don't, I don't, I'm not like waiting in suspense to find out. Like it's exciting for you, not for me. Really like just let me know what I should be getting

off the registry and we're done. But even then like my woke moment is that I'm like, okay, so if you find out the baby is a boy or a girl, like how much do you have to change your preparation? I hate when it's like, they are all talking about when they do the gender reveal later when they finally find out what the gender is. And it's all of a sudden, like, you gotta protect her. Make sure you it's like always like if it's a girl,

she's a dainty weak little thing. And if it's a boy, now he's gonna take over the world. It's like, I, that's where that's my Missouri trauma coming out. Where it's like, you do understand that we live in a world where a girl is not all of a sudden destined to be a weak person. Right. Must be protected at all costs. Yeah. Like exactly.

Who's going to protect her, her dumb fucking dad and uncle? Yeah, definitely exactly. Who's going to protect her? Her dumb fucking dad and uncle. Yeah, definitely not them. And when Cole was like, well, now that I found out that she's a girl, I'm going to start learning about like girl stuff now because like I got to know I'm like, I love that. Like otherwise if it hadn't been a girl, you would not have even cared about learning anything about women. You're like, well now I've got to pay attention to women now. Well you hear the way that their mom talks about how they deal with women.

That's a little scary. She says like in the last episode too, I think she's like a couple of times, she's like the way that they treat women, the way they talk about women. I'm like, this, the dad, Steve senior, I think is a villain. He is a villain. But also like mom, like you are still like their mom. Like you were still like an authority figure in their life. Can you at least try to like get them like you see where they're going, going astray?

Could you at least try to get in there and try to be like, Hey, I'm the mother here. I don't care what your dad says. I'm your mother. You stay in this party right now. Like, come on mom. Did you just quote Tony Colette in hereditary? I'm your mother. I was too scared to see that movies, but I'll just say yes. I didn't see it either. Did you just quote Tony Colette in hereditary? I'm your mother.

I was too scared to see that movies, but I'll just say yes. I didn't say that. I just saw the meme. I'm a scaredy cat. I can not see. I just, I watched sinners over the weekend. That's about as scary as I can get. I love that. Yeah. My, my husband, Matt is like a horror scary Mary and I do not go with him but sinners I heard was good enough that I showed and I very glad I did I really enjoyed sinners quite a bit So you hear you heard it here last everyone sinners is a good movie Yeah, yeah, if you haven't heard about it sinners is out of theaters, but you should catch it streaming So any who so Cole is designing a flyer with Tessa. Tessa's looking over they're like using like print shop from like 1987 to make this flyer. And you know pull the critters on their baby bottles or something like

that I mean look I'm Tessa but even I know this thing needs a little bit of something to it. Okay. You can fix that up. Did you click on the rock clicky thing? I ain't done this in sixth or seventh grade. Like we're doing gender reveal posters in sixth grade. Wow. My favorite, she's like, she's like, we need a crash course on this.

Cause this is what is the windows 50 now by this time. And he goes, no, we got a little, she goes, wait, we need a crash course on this. This is what is the windows 50 now by this time. And he goes, no, we're going to go. She goes, wait, we're on Google. Oh, good night. As if Google has like been invented a year ago. Oh, we're doing that new high tech Google now. And they're saying this, by the way, we can see they're on an IMAX like it. This Windows 50.

We know it's on Google's now and the artificial intelligence out artificial intelligence. That's what we called you for growing up. What does open AI? How do you know about Google Docs? Is this that C plus plus again? Prism? Huh? She has like her her references of her technology, this poor, I mean, listen, it's not to shit on Gallatin, Missouri, but I'm thrilled that at least Cole is even taking the reins on designing a flyer.

And hey, can we give props to Tessa for doing, is it a McBee or McShe? I think that's smart copywriting. That was pretty good. That was pretty good. I have to say though, they lose marks because it's like, can you guys just open up a Canva account because this was just a sad, a sad flyer. I don't know how you're going to motivate anyone.

I hope your flyers for your show will look better than this because you're not going to motivate anyone to come to an event with, with this sort of bad basic font, bad kerning, bad spacing, bad clip art. I want better. Errorable. And then like, they like tape it on just like the bathroom door and the next to like the wrenches and shit. I, first of all, Canva, I am a forever,

I forever bow down to Canva. That is my girl. Um, but my, also my other favorite part from the scene is where she calls Casey. And then they, he goes, what time do you want it to be at? And she goes, she goes sunset. He goes, well, that's not the time that I was thinking. And then he goes, okay, 6 PM at the red, what is it? The red barn, red barn pavilion. And then of course, can you spell pavilion? It's a, it's a fair question.

And yeah, he spelled it wrong. Yes. And just like, yeah, he got it right in there. Pavilion got it right there. He got the Z and everything. So, OK, should be good. So, yeah, they come up with Mickey or Mickey and you did good. So yeah, they come up with Mickey or Mickey. And you did good.

Cola bean is I guess her big name from Cola bean. Cole. And I wonder what the etymology of Cola bean is. Cola bean. Well, you know, you got to squeeze the bean to get your Coca-Cola. You know, Coca-Cola come from beans. That's what I heard. You got to soak those Coca-Cola beans for a whole day before you can get your soda out of them.

I've been telling Steve and I want us to grow our own Coca-Cola. We got a whole bean farm in the back and I think we could do a dye and a zero. You know, he says he wants corn, he says he wants beef. I'm telling you, Cola is the way to go. Okay, go those beans. If we're really feeling excited, we could do a Mr. Pib. You know, I love a Mr. Pib. You know, you could do all sorts of interesting crossbreeds.

They got some cherry Coca-Cola beans too now. And that's the flavor of Cola with cherries, as you know. It's all there in the name. I mean, I don't know why we're not doing this. I knew that because I went to an AMC theater once, but that was in the big city of Kansas City, Missouri. I Have to tell you that Nicole Kidman. She is much taller than I ever thought, you know took up the entire screen We come to this place for Cola That's what I learned and so I took some cola beans back from that theater and I planted them everywhere.

It's like, um, Tessa, that's just popcorn. Now those are cola beans. I think we should do a popcorn field. And you know what? I got some of those maca nox. Can we grow maca nox too? Here's what I was thinking. Okay, follow me.

We take some cola beans and we take some popcorn beans from the feed and we're going to see which one pops up and when we can have, we can set up a flyer and say, is it a mick hay or a mick she and the she will be the popcorn, the he will be the cola. That way we can reuse those flyers. You see what I'm saying here? You got to think big sometimes. And then maybe I can figure out on a Google word that we can put Nicole Kidman on the poster too. I've already called her people and they say that she's very interested.

She never turns out a jab. She only thing is she needs to wear a wig and I've got plenty of those. This is not my natural hair, Kolar Bean. Kayla said that she would make Nicole a prosthetic nose just that way she could be an Oscar contention. It's going to be the others too. No, the hours too. It's going to be a hybrid of the hours and the others. Okay.

And it's going to be a very powerful film. And it's because our Arcola beans. Okay. I think we got the future for this farm all settled up. I do like, I do like the dead mom Tessa. I know cause she's the only person who can take a script and really deliver it. Cause you can tell for every recap, this is what happened last week on the farm. Like she at least is giving us like, she's hitting certain continents.

Yeah. Word. She at least can give us, can give us a really direct emotional plea with the lines that the producers are giving her. Yeah. She's really the star here. So basically, you know, Cala is in the throes of independence. She has decided this family is absolutely

toxic to me. I don't need to be here. I need to be with my girls in Dallas. We're going to do splits. We're going to listen to Carrie Underwood. We're going to be like, that's my jam. Every time music comes on. And we do not need for me to be going back up to Missouri. Cut to her. She is now returned to Missouri two days later in Stephen jr.'s house and she is here ostensibly because I think she's trying to get money for her apartment. Is that the excuse that she's using?

I guess because like what is that whole flashback where she tells Casey and Ali that sometimes Stephen will give her 10 or $20,000 out of the blue. Yeah, like he'll or it was like a monthly allowance or something like that. So I think she's like, you know, I have a lifestyle that I've been maintaining and I'm up here to maintain it. They also show this flashback about five times this episode of him, they had this whole fight last episode and it's him in the car going,

you are the most pessimistic person to ever speak about my family. Which was like really tough to watch because that was seconds after she said that she felt really alone when her sister died and then no one reached out to her. And then he's like, well, you hate my family. And it's like, that has nothing to do with what she is saying. I think ultimately, that's how you can see the relationship failing over and over again,

is that he has no way to deal with an adult over the age of 13. Trey Locker. That's correct. And when he says you're the most pessimistic person to ever speak about my family, honey, you are on Bravo now. There's going to be a lot of us talking about your family. Buckle up. Buckle up. So she's coming in, and he's already

moved some decor around. And so there's that. She's like, wow, it's all different now. And he's like, whatever counts as decor in that house. And then Steve, it's like, oh, you moved the Marshall's poster, the woodblock that says hello in five different languages. You moved it to a different room. Where the frog statue go.

So he's talking about how they were very volatile, but involved, voluble, volatile, very volatile, volatile. Hi. Hey, Tessa, can you tell me about vulnerable? Did I spell that correctly? Um, I'll try to, I'll try to pull up my Microsoft windows 40. See if the Google,

Google Excel. Um, so they're talking about apartments and she's saying that she's been looking at apartments and you know, she like, basically she wants the money for it. She basically wants him to pay for it. And she's saying like, you know what, I've uprooted my life for Stephen twice. I moved from Dallas to Gallatin and then back to Dallas and then back to Gallatin. I'm like, some of that's on you, lady. Sorry. Well then Stephen talks about how they've broken up like how many times? 15, 16 times. He says they've broken up 15 times literally. In what world? How many breakups do you think is excusable for a relationship like I think?

To to is the maximum as a grown-ass adult. I think too. I think you can have one or you're like, oh this was a mistake second time That's it. That's my first boyfriend. I was like my first love. We broke up once we were I was in single for like a month. I started to be like, Oh my God, I'm like happy being single. And then we got coffee and he asked me to get back together. And then I said yes, because I was I like didn't want to be single. Deep down, I just like was afraid of never finding anybody else. And then the second we got back together, I knew it was the wrong choice. And then we broke up officially, like four months after that. I think your first love when you're 21 break up twice. Absolutely. But 15 or 16 times. How old is Steve Steven? I mean,

he's not a child. I'm actually like 33 or something like that. 35. I also think that this could be this, this may be fucked up thinking, but it's just where my brain went. I have to, I have to be honest about what I think about when I watch these shows. If you can't like, like if you're, how am I supposed to trust you to run a company if you can't even run your relationship? Right? Oh, no. I, well that's exactly what the matriarch of the family says, whatever her name is,

because she was saying that, that's, I'm going to call her Roxanne. Her name is, she sort of has some Roxanne energy to her, you know, and she, and I think she could also be like Roxy Hart and we're going to see her next in Chicago on Broadway. But I think when Roxanne's like talking about how her business has done so well, I think it's in the most, the second episode. And then how now the farm is completely falling apart because the guy at the head of it has a chaotic personal life. It's the same thing with Steven Jr. Yeah. Now I know there are of course stories of like people who are rock star CEOs who are really successful people and they're amazing with their jobs and their

personal life is in shambles, that's fine. I mean, it sucks for their personal life, but that's not what's happening here. This is not like someone who is really good with business and then has like a trail of destruction in their wake on the personal side. This is someone who is actually sucks at business too. This is someone, this is a Kendall from succession situation going on here. Right. And by the way, I looked up his age and he is 32 years old. So very close.

I don't know if the jawline is all natural, which is adding some years to the face, but it's not for me to decide. It's an aging jawline. Um, so Cala announces that she's going to go to the gender reveal, which is I think weird if you were broken up, then I don't think you could, if you're broken up and you're on a weird terms about family anyway, why are you going to the gender reveal? I'm sort of getting vibes like she just really wants to be on TV, baby. Cause cameras are up, cameras are up and that's why why she's that that's why I'm curious about when they brought

the cameras to Dallas to see her go out with her girlfriends. My flash into the future was that this is going to become her show. I don't think it is actually but my fear was that they decided to put their eggs in her basket and create the show around her but I think ultimately, if they break up for good, is she still gonna be on the show? That's what I'm curious about. No, but she's always gonna follow those cameras.

I mean, they met on Joe Millionaire, apparently. So- Did you watch that? I did not. I watched the original one back, you know, 25 years ago. Yeah. Which is crazy to say. But I did not watch that. I don't think I even realized Joe Millionaire was back. Was that on Fox again?

Sounds like it would have been. I had no idea. When they said that he was from Joe Millionaire, I was like, oh, well, I guess smart to give someone that was a good television figure another show. And then I watched him. I said, oh, no, they did it for the nipples and nothing else. Yeah. I did it for the nipples. Oh, by the way, I also feel bad for Cal is Dallas friends because Cal is so that person who's

like, I broke up with my boyfriend. I'm single now. We were going to party and you're like, Oh my God, finally my friend is back. We can party. And then two days later back with boyfriend, never see her again. And we all have those friends who do that to us. They like feed us these lies that they finally have broken the cycle of the codependency that they were in in their relationship. And now you can finally like socialize with them. You can go to dinner with them. You can go out with them.

The things that you loved about your friend originally that made you friends with them that was like was taken away from you by some, some guy. You're like, ah, finally. And then of course, like as soon as the man comes calling, she's gone. I honestly, I can't, I've actually cut out all my friends like that who are like, ah, finally. And then of course, like, as soon as the man comes calling, she's gone. I honestly, I can't, I've actually cut out all my friends like that, who are like that in my life. I have to, I, cause it really like, it goes from there just was destroying their lives to then they're completely disregarding any of the like hours of advice you had given them. It's like, what if I'm going to give you all this gorgeous advice over Ben and

Jerry's and then we're going to then agree to go back to our friendship and you dating actually good people only for you to go back to them. And, and God forbid you're a gay in her life, because our lot in life as gays is to be abandoned by straight people when they get married and against relationships. Right? So God forbid that you are, that you as a gay, you hitched your ride onto her because she's probably left you in the dust

so many times over and over again. Yeah, I wonder if she has any gay friends. She probably has like a hairstylist or something. In Dallas, yeah. Yeah, you know, something like that. Or a friend who's like a cheer coach. So. Fingers crossed.

Let's be honest. Nights at the roundup. Um, so she's going to go to the gender reveal and, and Steven assures her that like, no, no one's going to be acting weird to her, which is a lie. Everyone's going to be weird to her because they always are. And she's also going to be weird to them in return. I'm also going to note, I'm going to tell you that spoiler alert. So now we go to Jesse and Allie. I think Jesse is the hotter McB personally. I do too. The only like obnoxious thing I can say about this man's body is that I really

have a thing for body hair, which is something that I, you know, talk about too much. And at one point it took off his shirt and it was giving very bare. And that was a little disappointing. I think his hair is stunning. I think the face. Bare B-A-R-E in this case. Sorry. Sorry. B-A-R-E is correct. It was giving... Yeah, you're right.

As a gay man, I can't believe I walked right into that. It was giving jurgens. It was giving nair. It was giving... Actually, it might be naturally smooth, which like I can't knock a man for not being given hair by the Lord. It was giving jurgens. It was giving there. It was giving, it might be naturally smooth. It's like I can't knock a man for not being given hair by the Lord, but he is, he is beautiful. He is beautiful.

And he seems to have a better personality. So he's down in the city because Jesse and Allie have a city house because she, listen, she is a city girl at heart. She likes to get her nails done. She likes to go to a spa. She's a city girl at heart. She likes to get her nails done. She likes to go to a spa. She's a city girl. You know those big city girls that like to go to a restaurant? I think in comparison to Gallatin,

a city girl is just being around more than what? 12 people. She's like, I like to take my clothes to dry cleaners. I like to have electricity, running water. I'm a city girl. I see Sarah Jessica Parker. I'm like, and just like that. Oh my goodness.

It's more like, and just like Ali, am I right? I'm such a city girl. Instead of Fifth Avenue, I get to go to Main Street and walk into a single grocery store. I'm a city girl. So he's making breakfast and then, um, uh, because he's down in the city because she's been saying like, Hey, you're spending so much time up at the farm. You need to come down to the big city so we can have city times cause she loves

the city. She's a city girl. And so now he's spending time in the city, city house. And, um, then Steven junior calls and he's spending time in the city house. And then Steven Junior calls. And he's like, well, guess what? Heading over to the meat facility to figure out the Arthur Bryant deal that we're supposed to deliver on. And I'm rushing up to the meat facility now. Can you help me out? Because I've got to get this deal done because I'm already running late

because Galina's gone dark. Galina's gone dark. Oh my god, Galina's gone dark. And I can't even get a hold of her. And she's supposed to tell me when the meat was supposed to be delivered. To me, you know what it sounds like? It sounds like you spent too much time fucking Kyle last night in the shower instead of looking at your schedule and seeing there was a meat delivery and Knowing that Galena has already been gone. You should have been on top of that. I'm sorry

I'm not gonna blame this one on Galena at all. Not at all. This woman's heart has been ripped out She took off a day and a half and then Steven Jr. can't maintain a single day of this business running. And so he's, that's, but do you think that this is at all real? Do you think? Oh, no, no. Cause cause Steven's acting so blatantly. He's like, he's like, he's like, Jesse do something as he slams down onto a piano. I was like, wow, been there. If I had a nickel, I'd have to, which is actually quite a lot for Jesse.

Do something. It's it's, uh, I think that the actual drama is real though, with Ali and Jesse, with the city house and wanting to be a farm boy. Like that to me does feel like they built this truly gorgeous house, the Kansas city house, the shots that they show of like, uh, Kala, Kala walking in and seeing it for the first time. I'm like, you know what? It's nice. It's a gorgeous house. I would keep the city house. Quite frankly. I also think that like, I don't know. So is this a, is this a strange take?

90 minutes is a long commute, but like so much of, I feel like, I feel like anytime you talk to anyone who's like worked on a farm or anyone who's been on any shows that's like a farmer, this is what they do. They say, oh, well, you know me, I'm up at six. I'm doing this and that I'm doing this. I'm taking the cows and bragging about all the hard work that they do.

So I'm like, well, if you're such a hard worker, then do a commute. Like, I don't know. It's kind of like you wake up an hour earlier. Yeah. If your whole identity is about like that, you do hard work. Well, just add this to your hard work identity. I'm normally I would not say like, oh, whatever. It's a 90 minute commute. Like that sucks. But like, I don't know, if you're going to build a house down in Kansas City,

I would also want to use it to write. Well, it's also, I think the deeper issue between the two of them is that they've been together since high school and that she, they're both just comfortable but he's super lazy and she's a city girl. And so he is just, and so he's clearly not wanting to put an ounce of effort into being in the same place as her.

You know, my favorite thing to do is as a podcaster, is that when you have like a side that you've taken, how you will warp your own logic just to make it, like literally my entire hot take I just had was so ridiculous. Like just, you're a farmer, wake up 90 minutes earlier on your already very long day and just make that drive. I don't see what the problem is.

Is that coming from podcast trauma? What do you think that is? I think so. I think. No, the way that I in real life have podcast moments that I'm like, this is devastating. Like I'll like, the one thing that's really bad is that I know that you can just edit out a pause and a, and an interview. And so sometimes if I can't think of, remember what I'm going to say, I'll be with a group of people and I'll be like, and then um, and then a whole group of people will be waiting for me to say something. And I realized they can't edit out a pause in real

life. Yeah. Yeah. One thing that happens with we, since we podcast so much that sometimes I start to, I sometimes I develop a hot take on something I have no interest in whatsoever. Yeah. Start doing it. And then all of a sudden I'm like, why sometimes I develop a hot take on something I have no interest in whatsoever. So I start doing it. And then all of a sudden I'm like, why am I developing this hot take right now? And now I'm committed to it. So now I've got to see it all the way through. And then I finally have to end, I have to finish. You have to wrap it up.

And so I wind up in this place with a hot take I didn't care about to begin with, but for some reason I started it. Cause I'm like, I'm podcasting right now. It's muscle memory. I interview people. I interview people. All of a sudden I start asking like admittedly great questions, but people don't need to be interviewed without consent. I think that's a great quality to interview people. I think it's good to be inquisitive about people. So I think that's a good that's that's a good trait to pick up from your podcast. I don't think having a hot take on every single stupid thing really matters in life. It's like, oh my god, that doorknob. You know, we do, why don't we even have door knobs? Like we shouldn't even have them anymore. I have this chicken sandwich hot take should actually be less breaded. And I think, and then you do a full 10 act play. Yeah.
