This is part two of a two part recap. If you're wondering where part one was,

we'll go check in the feed and be sure to subscribe so that we always get your episodes. But enough of that. Let's get right back into the episode. So any who, um, Steven Jr is mad because he didn't make an eye cow reminder for himself and now we can blame everyone. So now he's going to pull Jesse up from the city house to go help with this meat. So Jesse has to go driving up there to the farm

and Jesse's all like, oh man, Galina needs to figure this shit out because I'm down in the city. So they're gonna go and they're gonna deal with this meat situation. And then Jesse is like, this is the exact reason why I hate coming down here to the city. Cause if there's a problem, of course there's always problems on the farm.

I'm an hour and a half away and now I got to get all my crap head North and figure out what the hell's going on. Here's an idea. This is a crazy idea. How about you say no. And then Steven has to call someone else. Maybe your lady or this poor girl, this poor girl, because then he's like, hey, this poor city girl, hey, I'll even have to head to the form like right now. Yeah. I want to. And then she goes, I wanted to have this thing together, but now you're leaving.

Go on growth. It was nothing. She didn't even come up with a thing. I wanted to have this thing together. What? Girl, just say edible arrangement, say Starbucks, just come up with something. Come on. Use it.

Wedding planning, brunch. And he goes, if it wasn't something this important, I wouldn't be leaving the brisket delivery. I mean, listen, literally get another person to haul the like, yeah, the body Steven needs another body. But where's Cole? Where's Cal? Well, I get Cala. Get someone up to see cop Calessa, this... Giants things of brisket. See, at least Tessa would give us a good running commentary while she's doing it. This is heavier than the time I lifted my ex-boyfriend out of a hot jacuzzi in Milwaukee. Now, I got to say something here about this here meat. This meat is heavy and if we had some Coca-Cola beans, it wouldn't be nearly as heavy. So I don't know why we're doing all this is much.

But this is way too demanding for me. Hey, did you see that flyer the other day? It was good fonts, wasn't it? And such you think it's be a McBeer or mix. I don't know. Nicole came in and it's going to say it's going to be there. She's supposed to say some nice kind of word. So we're looking forward to it. Why are we holding all this brisk and we can just be doing the flyer business?

I've really been getting into different phones. Comic Sam's is my favorite. I have an internship with something called Canva. I don't know what it's about, but they hired me. So you open there. She's like slowly going to work her way up the tech ladder. And then she looks in the camera. Here's my code. Cal.

OK, what's her name? Tessa Tessa, 20. Tessa, 20 for 20% off your camera discounts. So they get to the, first of all, you know what really stressed me out? What? This really. Holded them to me with their hands?

No, that, well that was stressful because it was very cold and they wish they had gloves. And I'm like, again, another failure on Steven's part for preparation. The way that they had the way they struggled to open the door to their own meat locker. One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two. And what is wrong with this door?

Why this is worse than the summer house door. Why do they close the door like that? Why this is, This is worse than the summer house door. Why do they close the door like that? Why, like, this is, the door should not be that hard to open. I mean, what if you leave your keys in there? One, two, three.

I thought they were going to find Masha's dead body in there at that point. I was like. I wouldn't put a Pascalina, I don't know where the clubs came from. I don't know what happened. So they have to bring all this brisket down to the barbecue spot.

They're already 90 minutes late. Cause I guess he waited for Steven to get there, like a dumb dumb, why did you start loading it up? Why are you waiting for Steven? Get a head start, like, come on, like do the work. Yeah. And then he, and then Steven Jr. is like, it's our first delivery to Arthur Bryant's and then you get to the flashback with the guy working there.

Yeah, we try to run it pretty thin, which is important that you communicate if something's going to be late or you can't hit an order. It's like, thank you for spelling out this storyline. Exactly. And of course he doesn't communicate with him. And I misspoke. I said they was waiting for Jesse, not waiting for Steven. So they're loading up all this brisket, okay? And Steven's like, I'm focused on making this deal, bro. I mean, the new owner has a bunch of different businesses and restaurants, so this deal is so much bigger

than it already is with the brisket. And like, it has a potential to be so much bigger. I am angry. The producer said I should be angry, and I am angry. So I'm hoping this relationship with Arthur Bryant goes smoothly, no issues. I'm gonna go dark. I'm hoping this relationship with Arthur Bryan's goes smoothly. No issues I'm gonna go dark. I'm gonna go dark if this doesn't go through So they arrive and the guys like unhappy like well

I know this is the first go-around and everything like that But we really needed here to six and not eight thirty So we're gonna get brisket on this morning ride at six Which means we could probably get it off somewhere between 430 and 5 I'm like, is this an SAT question? How fast if a person is going at 90 miles per hour? If the brisket goes at 90 miles an hour what kind of sauce you put on top of it How fast does it take Ted lasso to fly over from London to eat our brisket sauce?

If Ted Lasso eats one of our sandwiches at 7 p.m. what time is he taking a shit? The correct answer is once per hour on the air because you can eat a lot of his biscuits. It runs right through. Runs right through. Brisket. So anyway, so the guy's like, he basically shames him. He's like, yeah, so now we're going to run out of beef at 530. So that's your fault. Sorry, sorry. So now Steven's like really upset, really upset about all this. And Jesse's like, but why is it my problem?

I mean, if he's in charge, if the deal fell through, it's his fault. Exactly. Sorry, if you're in charge, you still shouldn't be on top of this. If this deal is so important, why are you just, you know, why are you not on top of it? Why are you not reading your checking the times and when things are having shower sex instead of doing your job? Yeah, I'm not even really sure what the issues with Galena is that that Galena was supposed to schedule someone to be there to break the meat down and she never did. So they have to do it the last minute. supposed to schedule someone to be there to bring the meat down and she never did. So they have to do it the last minute. Yeah. That is unclear if she had been working,

would she be the one trying to open up the freezer door? Is she making the calls? Also, is this really how it's done? If someone asks for like 4,000 pounds of brisket, is it really, does it really come down to one guy throwing brisket in the back of a truck and another guy with like a calculator saying, okay, that was 20 pounds. Okay. Next. Ready for the next one.

That's like the manual addition of the poundage that stressed me out. Do we don't have like barcodes that we can scan that like, like we write something down. I was like, what are the four? That's write something down. I was like, what are you doing here? The four that's a one down one wrong, one typo or sorry, I got to start over. Take it all out of here. That's like my life. A fucking very like grade focused student was not okay with the way that they were

adding up those pounds. No, they should have the everything should been scanned like the weight was already grade focused student was not okay with the way that they were adding up those pounds. No, they should have the, everything should have been scanned. Like the weight was already art like in a database somewhere, scan it and like, like a checkout or something like that. The thing sitting there with that calculator, I literally was like, I, I don't know if I could watch this show anymore just based off the stress of the scene. Yeah.

I I'm curious if we're supposed to expect that this is going to ruin the brisket deal or are we going to be seeing a recurring theme of this Ted Lasso barbecue loving restaurant? I think they're going to have a redemption arc and it'll be okay. So Steven Jr.'s like, now they're like, they're leaving. Steven Jr.'s still mad. He's steaming mad. And he's like two and a half hours late. I mean, two and a half hours late. I mean two and a half hours late fucking shit show. I was in good my CrossFit today and now I can't. Okay. I don't know what my wad would have been. And guess what?

Galina's just gone. She went dark by the way. I don't know if you heard she went dark and there's been no like no one knowing what to do. Nothing could have happened. Whenever she's good, she's a rock star. But whenever she's worried about dad and Masha, okay. It's like you can't even break her out of the singular focus on dad.

You know what I'm saying? Here's even as Jesse. I keep calling myself even break her out of the singular focus on dad. You know what I'm saying? Here's even as a Jesse. I keep calling myself Steven, but I'm feeling you're Jesse. You know what I'm saying? I'm confused. I'm mad. I'm going dark and then it flashes to Galena having the saddest. I'm preparing a full romantic evening with you. I'm going to drip chocolate sauce all over your penis and then I'm going to put a cherry on your nipples. It's like, she's so in love with this man. We see the saddest ways that she's like, and I am going to be so happy as long as I'm with you. Do they break up four seconds later? He, he all,

every flashback where she is sweet talking him, he looks terrified. Steven's disinterested. This man, this man's a piece of shit. So, um, now, uh, Cole is arriving to help with baby baby gender reveal prep. And we have a song from our country, Trixie Monocle. And this is the song to play for the gender reveal, which goes, they'll be burning down the bar. They'll be letting it all hang out, trading Cowboys on the dance floor while the band is playing loud.

Another banger song. Yeah, yeah. I was like, was that cut from Sinners? Did they repurpose it here? Because let me tell you something, there was some real soul in that song. Real beautiful, real beautiful. Maybe actually.

I mean, it does lyrically match the plot of story. It does actually, it does actually. Yeah. So they're setting things up and everything. And oh, ooh, ooh, I almost forgot about this part. They're setting up and Casey turns to Jesse and goes, guess what these are? And he goes, fruit pizzas?

No way. And then they cut to a round piece of dough with some sort of creamy sauce underneath chopped berries. I shudder to think what is going on this fruit pizza. This Pinterest travesty that descended upon Bravo in this moment, I will never forgive it. Now I, I hate, I really hate berries. I've come a long way. I can eat berries now. I, for a while I couldn't. So I really did. I do not like strawberries or blueberries or raspberries.

I didn't know that about you. Yeah, it's a weird thing, but I'm like doing, I'm like, you know, it's not official exposure therapy, but I'm trying to be, I'm trying to lean into a concept called maturity and realizing that you can eat a strawberry and it won't kill you and you can be an adult and just eat it and it's fine.

But that being said, this fruit pizza is such a travesty. I just, I couldn't, I could not. It's so embarrassing to like see a family secret recipe be revealed on a national network television show and for it to be like the nastiest. Like can you imagine like telling someone that your childhood favorite treat was something that was absolutely disgusting and then to put it on a TV show. I'm sure, I'm sure Twitter and Reddit are all dragging this fruit pizza.

Unless people actually like it. I would say it's the other way around. I've had people like, oh my God, it's actually secretly really good. I think like there's inherently nothing wrong with like berries, some sort of like cream sauce, bread. Like there's inherently nothing wrong with it, but it's the branding that really makes me so mad.

The fruit pizza, I just, I cannot get behind that. It's almost like Mammoth's beer cheese. I think like I at first heard that and I was like, there's no chance anybody would want to partake in the, but now I'm like, I would swim in some beer cheese if I had the chance. I actually love beer cheese, but I would say not to, not to not, yes and you, but I do love beer cheese, but I would say not to not yes and you,

but I do love beer or cheese. But I will, I think there's something about like calling it fruit pizza. There's like a wink in it. Like, isn't that funny? It's like fruit range on bread. Like there's something that I feel like they think it's so much more clever than it is.

Maybe that's what it is. It's like, this is stupid and I don't like you for it. You know? Yeah. And then of course, Cal walks in going, oh, cute, and it's just like. Oh, that's how you know. That's how you know, because Cala thinks it's cute. And she's going to tell her friends in Dallas,

and her friends will be like, that's nice, bitch, but you said you were going to be moving here, and now you're up there eating free pizzas. Yeah, and then after Cala walks in, my favorite thing is how the music all of a sudden becomes like scary. It's like Sinner's soundtrack. It's like all of a sudden they're scary. It's like sinners soundtrack. It's like all of a sudden they're all so devastated. She's there.

She's like, can I come in? Why are you asking to come in? You never asked to come in. Well, what do you mean? I just want to know if I can come in now. Stop being silly. Let me in. Let me have some of that fruit pizza. Huh? Never did I thought we'd do it. It was Sinner's vampire callback with Cal and the fruit pizza. It's actually so rude to the legacy of that film that we are now adapting it to Cal and the fruit. The McBee dynasty.

It's like literally exact. It is truly like the exact opposite of what that movie is all about. You know what Sinners reminds me of? The second season of the show that was not on the first season was not on the second season. It's called the Big B Dynasty. Can you imagine watching the Sinners be like, oh, this really reminds me of Big B Dynasty. Be like, get out of this theater right now. Yeah, truly. So, um, they're there. So she's there. Everyone's like, oh my God, she's back.

I thought she moved to Dallas. I thought she wasn't here. And then Casey is, Casey's really obnoxious. She's like, Steven didn't tell any of us that she was coming, so it's confusing to see her here. I mean, even though Callie and I did make up, I'm going to be raising a McBee. So no matter what happens, I can't side with Kala.

I'm a McBee and I'm going to have to stay have my side with them from now on." Are you in Oklahoma? Is this like the cow man and the farmer can't be friends or something like that? What is this ridiculous, like, I'm raising a McBee. I got to always take the McBee side. I can't think for myself anymore. Yeah, this is the most boring West Side story. It's like she, well, my theory is that the men, probably Cole and Stephen, are so anti the women having any sort of friendship that they do anything that they can to tell Casey to hate on Calvin.

100%. 100% is a divide and conquer situation, which is why the men ruled a roost on this show. And why Casey always has dead eyes when she talks because she's just picturing what the men have told her before the cameras rolling. Either that or she just drank a lot of body armor. Or the potassium from the body armor is making her have another panic attack. She can't handle it like a city girl can like Ali. They can have another panic attack. Jesus. She can't handle it like a city girl can, like Allie. So Allie comes in, in her stilettos and her mink stole,

cause she's a city girl. And. I got this at the big store in the city. It's called Marshall's. And she's like, well, I don't know if she's even invited, but at this point, it's hard to keep up. Are they together? Are they not together? It changes every day. Well, settle down, miss lady with two houses. We don't know where you are. You know, I'm sure you wouldn't like it. If Cal was like, I don't know where house she's at any day, because

it changes every single day. So settle down. This is an example of a hot take that I'm taking that I really don't care about. I'm like, see, I just started up again. I'm like, how could you say that about Calla? How could she? No, I co-sign it though. I mean, like, at least, at least Allie is sort of a bitch. She's still boring. But my hot take is that Allie is, I think if she, if they get another season, we'll see the bitchery of Ali start to grow. Ali is also the one I could see myself getting along best with. Not just because she's a city girl, as am I,

but there's something about her. I think it is that undercurrent of bitchiness that I actually connect with very well. Yeah, I think so. It's like one of my fatal flaws is that I am drawn to sometimes these people like Ali or like, you know, like one of the things I really have a hard time admitting is that like,

I could see myself being friends with Janet on the Valley. And yeah. That's tough, man, that's tough. I can like sort of like drawn to like that sort of behavior sometimes. And it's like a really bad, it's a really bad part of me. But it's less about you and more about like those people are also can be drawn to you because you are like a grounded kind soul. Like, like my husband, Matt, sometimes

would find himself with like, girly friends who are a little more chaotic because he is so grounded. And so I think that that's maybe you just tend to, I think, I think what it is is it's not so much that I, I don't feel like I, I, I actually like anyone who's chaotic. I like, don't deal with them. Cause I don't like us, but what I do like is like a quiet Kiki moment with like gossiping and like, that's going to be Janet and Allie. Cause they, they're, they're probably really good with like,

like a gossipy moment, but then they don't have, they're really bad with boundaries. They don't really have like time and place. And then they are, then they wind up being terrible people. You know? It's hard. Life is hard. So they're just like setting up this gender reveal

and everything. I like this detail that our note taker included said, Kala moves the table with an antler on it. I don't know. Right after the balloon pops scares Kala. She does the most basic thing. Oh my God, a balloon. Sorry, that really scared me.

And then we hear more of that scary music. Why are you here? Let me move this table with an antler, just to dissolve the tension here. Guys, it's official. The antler's in a different location now. And they're still silent. Why did you ask to be led in this room?

She's like a terrible vampire. She's like not even killing anyone yet. She's like moving antlers around. She's like, I'm sorry, I just have like, before I like unleash my evilness on all of you guys, I just want the decor to look right. She doesn't wanna suck blood. She just wants to go back in the shower with Steven.

Yeah, she's really failing at this. It's also daytime, I'd like to point out she would be a vampire at daytime. I forgot the rules. You guys, I'm so fucking annoying. Actually I don't know if you hear about it. Like people talk a lot about vampire facials, but actually for vampires, a really good facial is actually a sun facial. So what you do is expose yourself to the sun a little bit and it peels off the first layer

of skin. And you, I mean, I know that we don't really age, but if we want to still look younger, it's still a good way to do it. We used to, the vampires do things a little differently in Dallas, cause I actually, uh, from the bigger city. Yeah. Have you ever seen a vampire do the splits? Yeah, we can do them really well. It's time for commercial. It's time for a crap. It'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 Siffrin.

Today is the worst day of Abby's life. The 17-year-old cradles her newborn son in her arms. They all saw 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 Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. So they're still all marveling that they can't believe that Cal is at the gender reveal who would believe it. Oh, cause Christie shows up. Christie formerly known as Roxanne on this podcast. Now we have her name, Christie. She shows up. I like Christie's version of coldness cause she's really cold to Cala.

She's like, Hey. Oh, I think Christie is the saving grace of the show. I think that she's the only person with emotional intelligence and that it's clear why all of her sons have such mommy issues is because they have like absent father who manipulates them, puts them through warfare, like to hate each other. And then Christie actually has like her head on her shoulders. I'm, I'm team. Christie. Yeah.

I love that she started up a new company and is like killing it with the company. Like, yeah, that she's driving what a Lamborghini they say or Ferrari or something. I mean, that's, I guess it's great. And she's probably in Kansas city. So I kind of am obsessed with like a Mo of Kansas city mogul. I know. I love that for, I for, I love a strong, powerful woman. Me too. And I like her perky coldness towards Kalash.

Hi. And like that's it. And it's just like, there's something in that like little smile, like I'm not gonna talk to you for the rest of the party, but I am going to acknowledge your presence. I see you move my antler, and I'm gonna ask you to move the antler back, please.

I had placed that table with the antler in a specific place. It's not yours to touch. You're not part of this family. You shouldn't even be here. Okay. That was all said in that smile. I was going to say there's don't get between a southern woman and a bit of a passive aggressive comment through a smile.

It is the most devastating feeling to be on the other side of that. So you move the antler I see. Why am I so scared? So Stephen explains that Cal is just going to be here for a little bit longer until she gets her apartment, you know, and they're all like, really? Why? I mean, aren't there a lot of apartments in Dallas? Okay. I love Casey's parents who arrived because they, they announced themselves. Literally the grandma walks up, grandma's here. I was like, okay, she is ready.

That reminded me, my in-laws are in Georgia and that reminded me of like the grandparents in Georgia, whom I love. I think there's there. I, I, I, I make fun of the South and Missouri as I'm legally allowed to do, but I do love a Southern grandparent. There's nothing like them. Did you watch Beverly Hills this past season? I did.

Son's tracks mother from Augusta. Well, that is a different. She scares me. She scares me. She was wonderful. She was just the best. Like, we need Vera on every single season. And I need Vera now to put her attention on Kyle

and just scare the shit out of Kyle. I agree. But I think also if we're comparing McBee Dynasty to Beverly Hills, the reason why this show is so bad is because every single person is acting. Grandma's not. I think she announces Grandma's here every time she enters any room. That was authentic. Yeah, that was authentic. But everything else person is acting. Grandma's not, I think she announces grandma's here every time she enters any room.

That was authentic. Yeah, that was authentic, but everything else is so active. Whereas Sutton's mom on Beverly Hills, she did not carry a camera, it was there. No, that was authentic disappointment and disdain. It was wonderful. Exactly. You could feel it. So Cole announces to everyone,

hey, we're gonna go back out, we're gonna watch this helicopter fly over. So whatever color comes out, that's the color of the kid. So they're like, color of the kid. Color of the kid? Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. That's the font of the flyer. Sorry, sorry.

It's the gender. OK, the gender, the color of the gender. OK. So everyone's hoping that, that Cole winds up with a girl because they know that he's like a dick and- Hates women. Hates, he hates women.

So this will be the ultimate trolling as he winds up with a girl. I'm like, well, that's great for that girl. Love to hear that. So the helicopter comes flying over and then it hovers. And then there's, they just like spray out all sorts of pink smoke. And I was like, wow, they're having a gay boy. Congratulations.

You're having a boy who loves Wicked. I'm surprised with NBCU. I'm surprised it wasn't green and pink coming out and with Cynthia Rivas. She's like, it's me. Congratulations. Welcome to the wicked experience brought to you by McBee dynasty. Listen, we can only be so lucky to have a wicked. I mean, when the wicked, when the new wicked movie comes out and that press tour starts up again, we will be seeing a McBee dynasty crossover. I'm not sure the press tour has ever ended because they are putting Cynthia Rivo everywhere. I mean,

everything is wicked It's still everything wicked. I just heard that there's gonna be a wicked something another at the end of the month She's like she has like there's all over poker face. She's doing Jesus Christ superstar in a few weeks and I need to see that Can I tell you that I auditioned for one of the wicked commercials where they're at target is that it was a target commercial yeah, yeah, uh-huh, and I that Target, it was a Target commercial. Oh yeah, uh-huh. And I did not book, but they didn't say what it was for, except we had to sing.

Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. But like saying different things, so. Maybe for wicked. That's okay, because you got to be in a different commercial with, you were walking in a door, right? Or, well, who was it? It was a celebrity who was in that commercial, right? Issa Ra commercial. Issa Rae. Did she actually film with you guys or was it like, was it like composited like digitally? So this was, yeah, so it was a TurboTax commercial for the Super Bowl. Yeah. And I ended up being in

about what half of a second of the final cut, but she had a body double there for every single shot except for when we actually rolled, She did show up and looked stunning. And collected her paycheck. But yeah, she had like a two or three day shoot for a turbo tax commercial for the Super bowl. But hey, more like slow boat tax to three days. I mean, come on now. I like that. Use that in your show by the way. I'm going to, I. You can use that in your show by then. Feel free.

I'm gonna get a full segment on my term with X. Do a whole bit. I would love to have a bit part in a commercial. That would be my dream. You know, I have a SAG card. I've had a SAG card for 20 years because I appeared on something once. I appeared on a panel for the Fox,

the Fox used to have a reality TV network. And so I appeared on a, I used to appear on this panel talking about reality TV and I had to get an AFTRA, they signed me up with AFTRA because of it, because they were like an AFTRA signatory and then AFTRA merged with SAG. And so now I got kind of grandfathered into a SAG, I've had a SAG card for 20 years. Do you get screeners? I get screeners because I was told like once you're in one of these guilds you never want to you want to stay in. It's like so

hard to get in. You pay your dues every year. I pay my dues and I basically got back into having a sag card and then of course of course I'm an obnoxious. This is where the Janet side of me comes in when people talk about like I'm so close to getting my sag card. I'm like got one. I'm just impressed that you're able to. I'm like, got one for it. I'm just impressed that you're able to keep up with your dues for all those years. But listen, I think you and I are going to find ourselves in another television program together and we're going to hold our sag cards in every shot. I would love to do that. Maybe there should be a commercial for sag.

And we'll be like guys as representatives of sag, I'm an actor. My name is Eric. My name is Ben and I'm an actor. Please cast us in a commercial. I just want to be in the corner of a commercial somewhere. I don't have to be, I don't have to be lead. I can just be one of those people walking in the back of a Claritin commercial and I'll hold like a pin wheel and I'll be like, it tells me you're going to book. I think you're going to book.

Well, one can only dream. One can only dream. I want to be booked and blessed someday. I want to be in a Claritin commercial. I've decided that's my new dream. And you know what? It should be, and you should be in one too. And Ronnie as well, I'd like to add.

Cause Ronnie is an actual actor as are you. So yeah, Ronnie, Ronnie should be the lead of the Claritin. And then I'll be this depressed person in the back. And you know what? I say, bring back Joan London. Joan London used to do these great Claritin commercials. Let's bring back Joan London. The three of us will be doing a picnic, balloon overhead.

We're breathing right, because we can breathe nicely with allergies. I love this vision for us. I do too. Yeah. And one thing we will not be breathing in are fumes from a helicopter that's doing a gender reveal over our head.

That is a fate reserved for these people because that's what they're watching right now. When the smoke actually comes out, do we see a quick cut of coal looking devastated? I saw it in a teaser, but is it in the actual episode? I don't remember, I don't remember, but let's just say it was. Yeah, because in a teaser, but is it in the actual episode? I don't remember. I don't remember, but let's just say it was. Yeah, because in the teaser, he definitely goes like,

there's like, or like, next, and they show the pink, and then he's like, or they show the preview clip, and he's like really pissed. That's what really makes me angry when I see gender reveals on TikTok, and they find out it's a girl and the dad is angry. That makes me so pissed. Yeah, yeah, because they know it's harder to be an absentee father to a little girl than to

a little boy. Exactly. God forbid he has to show a single emotion. So then Cole has a totally normal reaction. He goes, well, we got to paint one of the tractors pink. Like that makes no sense. That's fine. I mean, maybe again, we could tie in. It works. And then they say the name of the baby, which I thought, I don't know if it's like not to keep bringing up my Judaism, but it's sort of a there's like a what's the word? It's taboo. Superstition. Thank you. There's a superstition that you don't say the name of until the baby's born. But right away he's like Blair and my favorite thing. Callagos. I love that name. Does Blair, I mean, Blair is a great name, but does Blair?

We love our Blairs. We love the Blairs in the audience, but Cala like losing her mind. I guess if you're named Cala, you're really so excited by any name that's that's like, oh my God, a normal name. I love it. I love. Is the reaction you're supposed to have when anybody tells you the name of their child. So you know what, I give her that. Yeah, and then Christie's like,

oh, you're gonna be an awesome, awesome girl dad. Which by the way, if I hear the phrase girl dad one more time, I'm literally like, I don't know if I can deal with it anymore. It's like one of my least favorite things that ever happened is I don't rise up. I'm a girl dad. She's a girl. He's a girl. Dad. Um, because like, he's like, yeah, by the way, everyone, thanks for coming. And if anyone wants anything inside pizzas there, I'm like, uh, don't, don't fool those people. Cause we know what kind of pizza it is.

That's inside fruit pizza. What sort of pizza? I was like, were we talking about a pizza at any point? But that just goes to show how inauthentic fruit pizza is that doesn't even lodge into your brain as a type of pizza. And it also goes to show that I'm smoking too much weed, but that's not the point. So anyway, I'm going to move this along. Okay. Because I can't deal with this gender reveal any longer. So they are now it's big news that happened. So while they are there celebrating a gender, the gender reveal and the fruit pizzas, a phone

call comes through. Someone left the door open at the chicken coop at dad's house. someone left the door open at the chicken coop at dad's house. And for some reason, all the brothers have to hop in their, in their pickup truck and head over to dad's house to see what's going on with them. So they head on over and it appears as though Galina has unleashed her wrath at the house, at the lodge. And the women are like, why are you, are you seriously leaving this party? You're leaving the party for your daughter to go check in on this and they're like sorry we have to go dad says so which is bullshit just shows to show how they're these people

are shitty and they head on over there and they get there and this is chickens the the chickens are there supposed to be 13 chickens. They're not 13 chickens anymore. Which I was expecting to see tumbleweed and a chicken and a half, but they cut to a pretty full roost. A pretty thriving coop, I would have to say. I would say. Yeah, like I've thrown parties here in Los Angeles

that weren't as well attended as that chicken coop. Yeah, like, and actually parties here in Los Angeles that weren't as well attended as that chicken coop. Yeah, like I actually I went to a pool party where the gays had chickens at the pool party and that coop in this coop looks equally healthily full of chickens. This one was not an empty coop. So yeah, I was like putting blood, I was expecting guts, I was expecting like to see some boxes in there, who knows what. And so then they're counting up the chickens and they're like, okay, I think we got like

nine or 10. So they call up Masha and, and Masha, Steven's being wacky. He's like, okay, I'm gonna call Masha here, take the phone, hot potato. Like, oh, you're a funny man there. So this is when Masha is on the FaceTime and she's like, so do you see a gray, gray chicken that is named pumpkin pumpkin. Why is she naming the gray chicken pumpkin? Yeah. Stephen goes, she has a name for everyone. But listen, I think pumpkin is kind of a cute

name for a chicken. Sorry. That's my hot take. It is a cute name for a chicken, but like maybe an orange chicken. Why a gray chicken? What sort of pumpkins has Masha been growing up with? Well, gray in Russian means orange. In Russia, we are not allowed to have color. So the world is black and white. And so I see pumpkin. These remind me in Russia, we didn't have pumpkin. We have rock, but I would pretend the rock was my pumpkin.

So I call if I see things that look like a rock, I say pumpkin. So this chicken looked like a rock, gray rock. And then she goes and then she goes, what about the babies? How many babies? Well, how many are they're supposed to be supposed to be 13 little babies? Can you guys help me, please? She's fully reading her notes up on her phone. She doesn't know how many chickens there are in that place.

She just got there. She's not attached to any of those chickens yet. She is fully lying right now, fully lying. So they go inside and they go into the kitchen and there is a frying pan that is destroyed. I mean, it has bent and warped and like it has been used to smash things up. And I mean, it is really bad. And they're like, what is this been used on? And they're walking around and it turns out that well, allegedly, Galena has been going around smashing Stevens cowboy hats in. Oh, is that what it is?

I think so. His hats were all smashed. Oh, see, you know, a cowboy hat. Those are expensive. Right. Oh, I guess. So, yeah, everyone. Yeah, they I thought it was so funny that they were like unable to find what was actually smashed. But is a cowboy hat strong enough to make that dent on an actual pan? I would say no, but what I'm going to assume is the cowboy hat was placed on a

surface that was strong and swung down. Thank you. It was the surface that was, yeah, it was not my best subject. It's my favorite thing too. Is that that we again have no single evidence that Kalina did any of this. No, but she's also got a terrible poker face because she keeps on laughing to herself. She's like, well, I don't know what you're talking about. Bang in the corner.

Yeah, she's always like, she's got like a sucking candy in there. So, so now, yeah, they're looking around. It's a disaster. And so Stephen is, he calls Galina and he's like, what the fuck happened in the lodge? Where's all the mash and stuff?

She's like, I don't know. Where's the makeup? I don't know. Maybe pantry is what I assume. I did not touch it. Well, where are her clothes? I don't know. I assume that they are in trash bag covered in rat blood, maybe burned on fire. Just guessing, I would not know, because I wasn't know. I assume that they are in trash bag covered in rat blood, maybe burned on

fire. Just guessing. I would not know because I wasn't there. And then she goes, I don't even care about her shit. But isn't she on vacation right now with your father? And then and then just, my favorite thing about Galena too, is that she, uh, is the way that she curses. Could you please give an example of her cursing? I'm going to ruin that fucking horse life. It's the, just something about the way that she says whore bitch shit. I, I love hearing it in a rough.

It kind of gurgles up outside of her. Like when she, she doesn't just say horses, it's like it's like she's building up momentum inside of her throat and then just spits it out onto the, and I do think that she without cameras, it's crazy. I do think that I do buy it from her a hundred percent. Yeah. So then we go over to Jesse and Ali's farmhouse and she forgot her work. She forgot her work computer back

at the city house. I mean, what's the city girl to do? You're at your laptop in the country. I mean, she might have to go by all the way back there, the big city life to get that, they get that laptop back. But they basically have a whole conversation where, um, he's like, yeah, I don't think we should keep the city house because I'm not going to live there. I'm a first of all, I'm a man. I'm gonna call the shots and I need to be I'm needed on the farm. So guess what?

We're closing up the house and you can't stay there. Otherwise, I'm gonna break up with you. Like the ultimatum, I think Ali should leave him, but I don't think there's any role that she will. She won't. You can see she is really upset. She's like basically swallowing her rage and her sadness. And yeah, she says, well, I'm going to go do some work, which we know is a lot because she left her work laptop

back in the big city. So, you know, I feel bad for her. She should leave him. This is not the man for you. You want a man who's going to, you don't want a man who's going to build you a house and then take it away from you. You know? Oh my God.

Also a really cute house to give you the, basically giving her the life that she always dreamt of in the big city where she gets to get her nails done. And then, and then to take it, they've probably lived there for like a year and then he's going to now say, I won't marry you. Cause this, that's what's next right. Is that there's like an ultimatum. He won't get married unless she, what, they sell the house. I think, yeah, until like she, like she gives

into like the farmer lifestyle that she doesn't want to have anymore, which is real shitty, real shitty for this hairless man to be asking of his, of his betrothed, right? I agree. Yeah, yeah. Maybe grow some hair and we can discuss, but until you grow some hair.

And then become a B-E-A-R. Yeah, go from bear to bear. You know what I'm saying? So then we go to Steven and he's driving and this is where he does a lot of his anger. A lot of his anger acting is when he's driving and he's calling Galina and he's, and Galina's not answering and he's like,

are you kidding me? I mean, hey, okay, Kara, Kara, have you heard from Galina? And Kara goes, I have not, which is like her big, that's her big line that she says. She's really good at landing that line. And she remembered her line. She did not have to bang on that piano. No, I know. I wish I could be like Kara.

If only I had her energy back in sixth grade. She only has three words and you had a full monologue really. That's true. That's true. So that he gets the office and Galina walks in and she starts going like upstairs and Steven's like right there. It's like, it's not a big office. And he's like, Galina, Galina, Galina. And she just ignores him. She has to chase her down. And then she's like, Oh, oh, I did not see you there. Are you making some avocado toast? Where have you been? What do you mean? I what do you mean? Where have I been? Russia? You know know what's actually devastating about this is that during this fight where

he's like telling her that she has not been anywhere, she gives like a very heartfelt plea where she's like, I deserve a day off. I deserve to grieve this man. I mean, that that's where it pulls on my, my heartstrings more than I thought I would, because I'm like, this woman actually put her whole life into the villain of this farm's world. She was completely convinced that she would be with him for the rest of her life.

She thought she would be the last one that he would break up with someone for. And it turns out she was not the last one. But you know, how you get them is how you lose them. As they say. Yeah, she goes, I'm still a human being and you cannot mess with my head like that. You know how it affected me and then on top of everything else, he went with my friend that made me lose my trust period.

Like I feel for her. She's giving Chekov. I do feel for her, but this also happened a little while ago. And so she should have taken her day off then. I mean, hello, Ted Lasso, Ted Lasso, barbecue sauce company needs its meat. Okay. And also you have to like announce your sick days. You can't just like go dark, even though it gives Stephen a chance to say she's gone dark a million times. So, uh, but she is, she's feeling really sad and she's giving a very Gen Z response. Like I just was I couldn't come to work today It was like really emotional But he is he's like, oh, I don't care. I don't care what's going on between my dad Masha and you Okay, cuz now the Arthur Brighton's deal are actually business is going to hell in a handbasket. Oh, you know the hand baskets I'm glad you mentioned that because I was thinking that we should get involved with a handbasket

Business Tessa now is not the time. Okay? What's going on? Are you going to be able to continue at what point? What's going on with you with you Galena? And she's basically like, well, maybe you should start questioning your father and what he is doing, you know, because I'm human. And you know, like when you're spending so much time with the person, it tells you love you, etc. And so she's going on and on about like all this stuff. And then, because she's crafty, you know, he says, I don't know, maybe we shouldn't, I'm starting to question whether,

whether keeping you on is the right decision. And she's basically like, oh, you can't fire me because I know where all the bodies are buried. And she essentially says, oh, that was low blow because you know, after everything going on the last couple of years and you brought me to this, but I mean, and don't even start me on FBI investigation, Bravo television. And he's like, he's like, God damn it. Come here. Come here. Getting

it. We're going, I'm taking off this microphone right now. We're going to have a conversation behind this closed door that the cameras will definitely not be able to pick up. And then he spells it out. My dad is under FBI investigation and you are the only one in my mom that even know what's going on. So that has to stay between us about the investigation going on with the FBI between my dad and the FBI that cannot be told between anyone, between us and the FBI. It keeps cutting to Kara. the receptionist being like,

oh, oh, like pretend. Mugging. He's doing Whirl, doing Whirl, it's fine. Let me try, ADEU, A-D-I-E-U, a lot of vowels, a lot of vowels. Oh God, I didn't really quite get to that fifth letter, did I? So, ADEU's there, nailed it.

So basically, yeah, the cliffhanger that comes out is that they're under FBI investigation and who knows what will happen. Even the brothers don't know about it, but now it has to all come out cause Galina opened her mouth and it was not expected at all whatsoever.
