McBee Dynasty S3 Season Finale

The McBee family is facing a major turning point as the pressure of the family businesses finally catches up with them. Kristi sits down with Galyna and makes it clear that, despite her split from Steven Sr., she still considers herself a business partner and wants the companies to succeed. Meanwhile, the boys are beginning to think about what the future looks like without their father running the show. Cole is pushing to sell the car washes sooner rather than later, especially with the banks closing in and his house potentially at risk. Brayden initially wants to grow the businesses before selling, but ultimately gets on board because he doesn’t want to see Cole lose everything. The boys agree that selling the car washes could bring in as much as $20 million, eliminate debt, and give them a chance to rebuild the business from the ground up.

The biggest personal bombshell comes from Steven Jr. and Alli, whose whirlwind relationship hits the brakes just as quickly as it accelerated. Jr. is ready to move to Texas and believes they are headed toward settling down, but Alli makes it clear that she needs more time and wants to live with her sister for a year. Jr. is blindsided and sees her hesitation as a major step backward, while Alli insists she loves him but isn't ready to abandon the life and career she has built. Back in Missouri, Jr. decides to stay and focus on the family businesses, while Kacie takes the opportunity to finally assert herself in the tallow business. She tells Jr. that she wants mutual respect and proposes dividing responsibilities, with her leading the products while he handles the technology and business side.

And then the finale goes completely off the rails. Alli heads out for a girls' night with Tegan and Kacie, leaving Jesse in charge of Summer, while she admits that she wants to feel sexy, have fun, and stop being the only one putting effort into her marriage. But the biggest explosion comes when the boys finally tell Galyna that the car washes are being sold immediately. Galyna is furious, arguing that she knows the financial situation better than anyone and that the timing isn't right. The boys stand firm, explaining that the banks are pressuring them and Cole is terrified of losing his home. When Cole says it's time to cut ties and go their separate ways, Galyna feels personally betrayed. She storms out—and then takes her anger out on Jr.'s truck, smashing its windows while the brothers watch in disbelief. With Steven Sr. still away, the McBee boys are officially trying to take control of their future, but this finale makes it clear that rebuilding the dynasty won't be easy.

Kelli (00:01.291)
Welcome to We Wine Whenever. I'm Kelly.

Lori (00:04.0)
And I'm Lori.

Kelli (00:05.571)
We're talking about McBee Dynasty season three, season finale, parting ways. before we do, if you don't mind, please go to our YouTube and subscribe, our socials, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and follow and comment because we love the engagement. Thank you. We had a couple of rough ones this week. I don't even know what we were talking about, but somebody wrote like F U bitches and you that's

Lori (00:10.83)
Mm-hmm.

Lori (00:33.888)
wait, no, no, no. I no no no, I have it. 'Cause I figured we're gonna bring this up because on McVe Dynasty we have seen the whole rage text thing. So I definitely wanted to do a shout out to a very important person who commented on our post. okay, so to shout out to Karen Richardson.

Okay, she made the effort to make four comments in a row. so first one is F U bitches spelled B C H E S or uppercase. she was leaving a comment in regards to the show The Valley. So she said Janet is great and she's a member on the Valley and far more better than Nia and Kristen. Neither of those two

C N T S are good our good G-O-O-E-D for TV. she's not bad, but Shayna is the worst. And many will not watch if Shayna the MFN liar is not watch. If Sheena the MF liar is on. Okay. All in capitals. She faked an affair just to sell a book. What does that tell you about?

Kelli (01:35.479)
Whoa, Karen.

Kelli (02:00.418)
I do agree with you on that, Karen.

Lori (02:02.24)
Okay. What does that tell you about that F N C U N T? Because I don't like to say that.

Kelli (02:08.832)
No, we will not say that.

Lori (02:10.636)
Well, sometimes I will, but you two are S TW dot T S exclamation point. So I wrote back to Karen initially. Karen dot dot dot Karen. It's a TV show, love. She wrote back. And you bitches don't have to go so MF and hard on Janet. Now do you again A

the symbol for money the symbol for money t w dot t s so asked twatz okay so i'm just gonna say it and then she responds to herself you wouldn't know by your nasty mfn comments about janet go get at fn life you to bitches are pathetic a f then continues

I hate you to all uppercase. I hate you to talking to herself again. Sheena is a MFN CNT A S T W T Dot Who the F are you two? Question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark.

It's quite comical and people don't rage text. Don't rage text about fake characters on a T V show. It's just

Kelli (03:41.568)
It's just funny to me because I do comment not under we w well, sometimes we won whenever, but I never say anything you know, like well whatever. It doesn't ma even matter. But I never I would never say anything like that. Like

Lori (03:51.532)
I just don't grasp.

I don't grasp the level of anger and outrage about a television show. I just don't I I

Kelli (04:03.03)
Yeah, I mean listen, I can get jacked up about Teresa and Louie, you know that. But I'm not doing that.

Lori (04:09.27)
No. So Karen, I might suggest a little therapy. Might be

Kelli (04:18.348)
Maybe a Xanax Karen.

Lori (04:19.83)
Something whine, we whine whenever.

Kelli (04:22.769)
Just pour a glass of wine if if you can, if you're not in recovery or anything like that, please.

Lori (04:27.874)
Yes. Okay. So I just wanted to give a shout out to her because that was an exemplary effort of anger. Five stars for you with the right with the rage text thing.

Kelli (04:34.167)
Yeah.

Five stars for you, Karen. We give you five stars, friend.

Lori (04:44.556)
I now know I now know what it is because I have never encountered this before. No no humans that I am in contact with speak to me in that way in person or in text. So I have now learned that. Okay, let's go.

Kelli (04:48.749)
Yeah.

Kelli (05:02.936)
So we start out with Galena is in her office and Christy goes to see her. And Galena says even though they aren't dating anymore, she and Stephen Sr. are still business partners, and the best thing they can do is make sure the businesses are blossoming when he gets out. Christy says the boys are going to need her guidance and she will be there for them, and they've kind of vented to her about Galena, you know, jetting off and going to all her Bravo parties.

Really it's Stephen Junior just being jealous that he's not jetting off and going to the Bravo parties, but we we see you, Junior. Christy says the boys have been through a lot and they're gonna need help. And Galena, if you could just buckle down, she says to Galena, like if you could just buckle down and focus and limit the traveling, your credibility with the boys will be better.

Lori (05:35.074)
Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah.

Kelli (05:57.569)
She says whatever you or the boys need help with, I just want to see the businesses succeed. Galena didn't look like she was very receptive to what Christy wa not that she wasn't receptive, she just I don't think Galena's the type of person that likes to be told that she's doing anything wrong.

Lori (06:15.586)
Well, I also think that that was handled totally wrong by Christy. You're not you're not if you have been made head of this company, you should be approaching this business as that, not as anybody's mother. So the correct thing to do would have been to go in there, s ask Galena where ya at

What do you think we can do different? What do you need help with? What you know what I mean? She should have been offering herself to the problem as opposed to coming in and chastising and being l coming at it from a mom perspective. No. If you're head of this company, your main job is to have the company thrive and and and work to an optimum amount. So

Kelli (06:52.428)
Yeah.

Kelli (07:10.221)
Right.

Lori (07:15.253)
I don't blame her because

Kelli (07:16.032)
And saying that y you know, your credibility with the boys will get better, that's like you said, like that's coming from a mom and that's not, you know.

Lori (07:23.788)
Yeah, you're you you didn't come in there with you know, any kind of conversation to make the company better. You came in there being like you know, my boys have been complaining about you and you need to step it up. G you don't even know. You have no idea what she does, you have no idea what the problem is. You you have and you know, her going to all the Bravo shit

Kelli (07:47.384)
Right.

Lori (07:51.938)
That doesn't mean that she's not doing her job.

Kelli (07:54.414)
Right. Right. So Galena says Christy doesn't know anything about the businesses, so I'm confused. and then, you know, then Christy leaves and she thanks Galina, like, you know, thank you for letting me come over and blah blah blah. So then we see the boys are at Braden's house and Stephen Jr. asks him if he's settling down and he's like, Well, during the week I'm fine, but then the weekends get to me. I hear ya.

Lori (07:57.368)
So

Lori (08:02.062)
Yeah.

Kelli (08:24.099)
Junior says there's a weight lifted off his shoulders without the crop business, you know, what the what they sold off. And Coles says the mini highlands and the tallow business, they're gonna really help things. And then he goes into the fact that he thinks they need to sell the car washes sooner or later, because of all the debt. And Braden's like, well, that, you know.

That those are my businesses. That's where I I'm not on the farm with you guys. Like those are my businesses. And you know, I'm the most involved and it's not an easy one to get rid of. And Steven Jr. basically says, We'll get our money back. We'll make a little bit of money, but we're not we're not gonna make a lot of money selling them. From what I understand, they do still own the car washes.

Lori (09:13.112)
Well Steve, what I got from that conversation, I was confused 'cause I was like, Okay, are you selling them all? And then it was like, Well, if we sell two, it would cover for the you know, 'cause two of them are under the loan that's being pulled for coal. So I was a little confused about what they were actually doing.

Kelli (09:33.721)
Well, Junior says they could net twenty million dollars to pay off all of the debt if they sell the car washes. And then

Lori (09:40.672)
Right. But I think somehow it ended up that they were just gonna sell two. I don't know. Who knows? You c I you can't figure it out. Yeah, okay.

Kelli (09:47.821)
I don't think they sold any though. And possibly may have opened up even more.

Lori (09:53.434)
well there you go.

Kelli (09:56.015)
Braden asks them, what do we focus on? And Cole says the farm and Braden's like, I don't wanna be on the farm all the time.

Lori (10:04.236)
Well, guess what, Braden? Not everybody gets to step into a family business. So sometimes you gotta do something you don't.

Kelli (10:09.239)
Right.

Kelli (10:14.135)
Right. And finally he's like, I I don't want to see my brother lose his house, so you know, he's basically on board. And then Cole says he thinks it's time to part ways with Galena and getting rid of the car washes is a good move. And and Steven Jr. says whatever the company buys, whatever company buys the car washes is gonna want to keep Galena on for three to five years, which he he's probably right. I mean, I you know, I've never been involved in a corporate acquisition, but I would assume he knows what he's talking about in that respect.

Lori (10:36.876)
Right. Well I think it's

Lori (10:42.934)
Yeah. Yeah. It's just odd that Galena would stay in the first place. I would have been like, All right, buy me out of my ten percent and I'm outta here. Like, maybe she's got some weird thought in her head that her and Steven will get back together or maybe she's just very attached to the family and thinks that she's part of it. But there's no way on God's green earth that those people are gonna

do anything if they have to choose between you and themselves and their business. And for that reason alone, I would have like been like, you know what? I'm sell my my little piece here and I'm peace out. I'm out.

Kelli (11:20.096)
I think that

Kelli (11:27.873)
I think in the beginning she thought she and Stephen Senior were gonna get back together. Then I think it turned into her just wanting to be part of the family because she had been.

Lori (11:31.192)
Mm.

Lori (11:36.171)
Mm-hmm. Right.

Kelli (11:40.152)
What I don't get is why all of a sudden the boys are kind of turning on her when they just invited her to Vegas because she's so good to them and she checks in on them and so what I think is going on is I think Steven Senior was like, Get rid of Galena. I think they got the message from him be w from him being away, get rid of her because of all the problems she's starting with Masha.

Lori (11:40.386)
But this is a very

Lori (11:57.849)
Could be.

Lori (12:02.594)
Right. Get rid of her. Right. Could be. Could be.

Kelli (12:06.775)
Because why all of a sudden they did a one eighty on her? They're inviting her to Vegas. She's at the no, she wasn't at the engagement. She was at the she was at Blair's birthday party. I mean, she's at everything Masha's not.

Lori (12:10.234)
huh.

Lori (12:21.196)
Right. But this is a thing. Someone being a part of your family and someone being a part of your business really are two different things.

Kelli (12:30.321)
well, the father's a fucking idiot, let's face it. I mean, he's the one that handed her ten percent of the business. But yeah, I mean, now it just se it's just seemed like, listen, this is her job. She's invested her time. You know, she's got a stake in the business, she's doing her job, and she's going to family functions. Like it doesn't seem like she wants to be with him anymore. But I still think it came from him. Like, get rid of Galena.

Lori (12:32.632)
Right. Bye.

Mm-hmm.

Lori (12:54.007)
Right.

It could be.

Kelli (13:00.203)
So Jesse says we can't do what we do with Alkalina, but her going with the car wash is is the is the best for us and and for her.

and Steven Jr. says now that the dad's away, they can regrow the business from the ground up, slow and steady. then we see Braden and Jake go to Jesse's and Allie's farmhouse. Jesse's working on it, and then Allie shows up, she surprised them, and she's the one that looks like she got surprised by all the construction. So Braden and Jake leave immediately.

And she says she's happy with the renovations, but she also needs him to focus on the relationship. So

Lori (13:42.348)
No, what do you think about that? 'Cause I have thoughts on this.

Kelli (13:45.556)
My thought is that he's doing something really nice and he's obviously doing it for her because she's the one that said she wanted it more comfortable there. And I think that this must be his love language and that's how he is working on the relationship.

Lori (14:02.794)
Absolutely. I thought the same thing and I thought that she was being very nitpicky and critical. I think that these two got together, they got married, they had the baby, and I don't think they've ever really had a hard conversation about

Kelli (14:04.845)
Okay.

Kelli (14:17.347)
Well, they've been together since they like I I don't know if it was before high school, but all through high school. They were like babies when they She started dating him when he turned sixteen 'cause she said at least I waited until he was sixteen. So he she went through the divor the parents' divorce and everything but

Lori (14:22.518)
Probably high school. Right.

Lori (14:32.288)
Right. But this is a thing.

Right, right. But obviously they've never had it just feels like they got married without ever really having this conversation where are we really gonna live because he needs to be at the farm. She has a job and wants to be in the city. You can't live separate lives like that. It's it's not and it's not gonna work. And that's a thing, like I think he was really fixing up that house because in order for the relationship to work

Kelli (14:55.849)
No. And it's like over an hour away, I think, right? Or an hour.

Lori (15:06.338)
They need to live together. Thing I don't think they really live together now. So I was just like, I don't know, Allie, like you keep saying it's him, it's him.

Kelli (15:15.501)
I know. They did have a conversation right before their wedding last season and she was like, I guess I'm moving to the farm. So I think that with that conversation, she probably said, I'll move to the farm, but I want it renovate you know, I want things different. And that's probably why he's doing what he's doing.

Lori (15:30.518)
Right. Right.

Lori (15:35.469)
Yeah. Yeah. So I didn't think that was cool. I was and you know, don't don't another thing, like don't just get all sassied up and dressed up for going out with your friends. Like you you you know, you s say you have all these bodage body image issues and you don't feel like being intimate with your husband and blah blah blah, you're not comfortable. But you know, sometimes you gotta put on the heels and the dress to go out to eat with your husband.

Like you can't be walking around in your baby snot and crusted sweats all the time. And it just and it's not and it has nothing to do with being misogynistic or anything else. It's just for yourself. Like you need to learn how to feel sexy with your husband. And it's very difficult to do that if you're

always in sweatpants. Y you know what I mean? Like there's just there's effort on both sides with that.

Kelli (16:32.695)
Yep. Well, I mean, I'm guilty of it myself. I you know, when I work from home, my hair's up in a bun, I'm I'm wearing leggings and a T shirt.

Lori (16:43.916)
No, no, no. But you've been married for a long time. You're not somebody with a young child who's trying to get back in the swing of things w with your h you know what I mean? It's it's different.

Kelli (16:54.317)
Yeah, I mean, listen, at least in the moments that you're gonna be intimate, like put something nice on and you know.

Lori (16:59.47)
I'm just saying, don't I'm just saying you just gotta make a little effort to put the spice back in things and I don't know. I don't know. It's just an observation that I had. I was like, Well that's nice that you look really cute going out with your friends, but like I don't know.

Kelli (17:05.816)
Yeah.

Right. Yeah.

Kelli (17:18.465)
Yeah, no, well well I have I have thoughts on that too. So Jesse was definitely looking for a little more excitement from from Allie with the renovation. But I personally I think it's har it's hard for me too. When you know when my backyard's ripped up and Eric's telling me what it's gonna look like, it's hard for me to picture until it's done. So then we see Allie Eklund is back. She's at Steven Jr.'s house. And Stephen Jr. says that where he is in life

He doesn't need to think or ponder when he makes a decision. He makes a decision. Exactly. He sticks with it. And he's ready to move to Texas. And you can just tell by the look on Allie Eklund's face that she is not on board with this and does not want him to move to Texas. She's like, that's a massive decision. We've only been dating a couple of months and it's a big deal.

Lori (17:51.756)
There's your first mistake.

Lori (18:02.286)
She was like Yeah. Now now

Kelli (18:14.691)
So then in her confessional, she says, after he met her family, her gut is telling her they need more time, and her mom definitely picked up on that. She said, Maybe I wasn't being as clear as I thought I was. I want to live with my sister for a year and I'm trying to keep a boundary. And she starts to cry. So

Lori (18:19.416)
Yes, me.

Kelli (18:38.541)
He says, I feel like this is a major step backwards. And then again in her confessional, she says, The people closest with Steven Jr. have had a hard time communicating with him and she understands. She's not used to being talked to a certain way. And then they flash back to him popping off a couple of times.

Lori (18:57.836)
Yeah, you liked out how production did that?

Kelli (19:00.429)
She says she knows he's under pressure and she loves him, but she wonders what it looks like long term. So I'm going to imagine at this point in their relationship, he has already rage texted her. Or something has happened and she has seen that side of him. And she's like, get me the fuck out of here. And down to Texas, ASAP.

Lori (19:14.412)
Yeah, there's been something. There has been definitely been something. She has seen the side. Fuck out of here. Yeah.

Lori (19:25.26)
And it's like it just it's just so bizarre to watch. He just talks at her, not to her. He d it's like he's never asked her

Thoughts about anything. Like

Kelli (19:42.455)
I think he is truly his father's son. And I think the other the other ones are trying so damn hard not to be. And he just is.

Lori (19:49.997)
I sure hope so. Cause he is just unbelievable. He just he just has conversations with himself in his head and agrees with himself and he just I think he really thinks that he says it out loud and someone said, Yeah, good idea. I don't know what the hell's going on 'cause it's bizarre. Bizarre.

Kelli (20:09.859)
So Steven Junior says that Allie has said to him out of she's an out of sight, out of mind person. So when she's around her family and friends and work, he doesn't think that they're gonna be talking to each other a lot. And then out of sight, out of mind, she's gonna forget about it.

Lori (20:27.448)
Dude, you're so pitiful.

Kelli (20:29.953)
Yeah. And then she says she hasn't gotten confirmation from her family, like that they're on board with her and Steven Junior. So I really wonder what happened down in Texas.

Lori (20:41.336)
Her mother took one sniff of him and said, I smell bullshit. I'm not doing this again, girl. She told her daughter, I'm not doing this bullshit with you again, with these men, with you jumping in. You you now you brought home another asshole and I'm not doing it. I think that's what her mother said. Right?

Kelli (20:43.829)
Mm-hmm. Yep. Yep.

Kelli (20:56.749)
Yep. Yep. Exactly. He says he's ready to go down to Texas with her and he thought they were solid and now he's rethinking everything. Well yeah, 'cause she don't want you to go to Texas.

Lori (21:10.752)
Weirdo come weirdo.

Kelli (21:11.737)
Exactly. So then we see Casey and Allie McBay go see the mini highlands. And Allie says the boys did a lot on their own. but they can always rely on them, the girls. And Casey says whether they admit it or not, they need us. And Allie says to Casey that having her to share like the McBee wife roles has been really good. I do really like their relationship, these two. And Tegan, like the three of them. I really like it.

Lori (21:35.341)
Yes.

Kelli (21:40.503)
So Casey says it's very important for her to show Blair that she could speak up for herself and she's ready to do that with Steven Junior about the tallow business.

Lori (21:48.749)
And again, a whole nother episode. And nobody has said nothing about Allie saying that Casey and Steven Jr.'s relationship is inappropriate. Nothing. Like it never happened. No, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Kelli (21:54.723)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (22:01.997)
Yep. Right. Right. I don't think it did happen. I think that's the point. Christy's at Cole and Casey's house and Steven Jr. shows up and he basically tells them that plans changed. He's not going to Texas. He says Allie said they should slow things down and it's embarrassing because of how fast they were moving. And Christy's like, I fell for it too. You know, I cr

Lori (22:26.05)
What? I I was when she said that I was like girl, why are

Kelli (22:29.239)
Well, because remember like you said like that Ali was love bombing Christy.

Lori (22:34.306)
Yeah, but just 'cause she love bombed her and was nice to her doesn't mean that everybody should assume that after dating for two months they should be married and she should like, yeah, move in with me. it's crazy. It it's crazy. They're crazy.

Kelli (22:47.959)
Yeah. I agree. I know. You're right.

Lori (22:52.802)
That's crazy town.

Kelli (22:54.881)
Cole's like, listen, people break up all the time.

Lori (22:58.07)
And who's saying they're breaking up? All s all she's saying is No, I don't want to live with you. I only know you two months. Back up. That's not breaking up. See, in his in his messed up mind.

Kelli (23:04.301)
Right. Right.

Kelli (23:09.817)
You're right.

Lori (23:14.476)
That's what it is. Because if it's not exactly how he sees it playing out in his head, if it deviates from that at all, then it's it's all it's all

That's wacky.

Kelli (23:30.563)
Christy says Steven Jr. is ready to settle down and start a family, and she says I was caught up in it too, and I feel bad for him. Again. Relax, Christy. They knew each other two months.

Lori (23:41.676)
Yeah. Right. Your son went like catalogue shopping. Right. Yeah, yeah, that he

Kelli (23:46.722)
Right. Basically, yeah. He was flipping through Instagram and DM'd the one who he found the girl who looked the most like his ex girlfriend and DM'd her. So Junior says he's gonna focus on the businesses and Cole in his confessional says he thought with Steven Jr. leaving he was gonna take over part of the businesses, but he's he's okay with this. Casey gives them the didn't I say take a few months and see how it goes? Like an I told you so.

Lori (23:54.882)
Right. Yeah.

Lori (24:14.391)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (24:14.713)
And but she does feel bad. it makes her happy she doesn't have it does make her happy that Ali didn't have any percentage in the tallow business.

Steven, so now we're at Steven Jr.'s house and he said the last forty-eight hours with Allie had been a roller coaster ride. Allie says she told Steven Jr. exactly what she was doing and she can't leave what she's been building behind because she loves him. She feels confused because she didn't see this coming. Listen, if she were true listen, if she were truly in love with him, I think they're throwing this love word around real flipsy flopsy.

Lori (24:52.833)
Mm, mm.

Kelli (24:54.731)
If she was truly in love with him and this was really like a whirlwind romance where they just had to be together, she could do her she could live with Steven Jr. and do her business. She could go to New York for work and come back to Galveston. She could go to LA and come back. She could go where she needed to go and come back if she were truly in love with him.

Lori (25:08.556)
Uh-huh.

Lori (25:18.764)
If he was a nut if he wasn't nuts, she could do that.

Kelli (25:18.905)
She's not

Right.

So now Casey shows up at Steven Jr.'s house. He shows her the basement and it looks like he's building a studio. I mean, they did have a podcast. I don't know if they still have it. and then Casey says it's time for her he did say they were gonna do like live selling of the tallow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Casey says it's time for her to stand up for herself with the business and she asks him how it's going and she says, you know, you wanted to give her twenty percent, and now look, it didn't work out.

Lori (25:40.503)
Live Sally.

Lori (25:54.69)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (25:54.722)
And he's like, Yeah, you know, obviously. he says that the tallow with the tallow business, if she, him, and Cole take it on together, they can do really well. And she says she knows she can't do it on her own and she needs his help. And she says they just need to have mutual respect for each other. She's gonna take the lead on the products and Steven Jr. can take the lead on like the business, like technology and all that side. So that conversation seemed to go well.

So Allie is at the city house and she's getting all dolled up, like you mentioned earlier, and she brings the baby into Jesse and says Summer wants to tell you that she needs you to watch her and he's like, What if she poops?

Lori (26:43.042)
That's what I'm saying. Like I I feel like they don't spend a lot of time together. I don't think he spends a lot of time with that baby. I think he

Kelli (26:50.793)
I have noticed his social media has been filled now with pictures of him in summer.

Lori (26:56.527)
Mm. Sp yeah, maybe it's reading the comments. Mm.

Kelli (26:59.359)
Not so much him and him and Allie though. I'm starting to wonder that if maybe

Kelli (27:08.745)
I'm starting to wonder if maybe he's starting to get some attention on social media.

Kelli (27:19.478)
You know what I mean?

Lori (27:19.726)
Could be. Yeah, could be.

Lori (27:24.76)
Could be.

Kelli (27:24.985)
Sorry. My sister is coloring her hair that she does every month, and she always has to text me and ask me what's the ratio? Is it equal parts?

Lori (27:33.999)
god. Write it down.

Kelli (27:36.825)
So I can't not answer her 'cause she's literally in the middle of it. But he doesn't change poopy diapers? Did your husband? My husband did.

Lori (27:48.11)
Of course.

Kelli (27:50.059)
I do remember Wendy saying that Bill would drive to somebody's house and have them

Kelli (27:58.01)
Hysterical. Tegan and Casey come because they're going out with Allie, and Allie wants to see Jesse, you know, step up and take care of Summer so she can go out. So Summer's crying, but Allie's like, it's fine, she's fine. And then Tegan got her something, a little present, and it's a vibrator because this seems to be a theme on Bravo lately. Yeah.

Lori (27:58.692)
Mm-hmm.

Lori (28:23.352)
Bravo theme. Yes, a bravo theme, absolutely.

Kelli (28:26.553)
I wonder if there's like a code, a Bravo code. Allie is listening to the baby monitor on the phone while they're driving to the bar. And unfortunately, Allie did say that they slipped back into where they were before Vegas. And she can't always be the one trying to be intimate. That's not good, honestly. Because if you're opening that door, you would think that he would.

Lori (28:41.442)
Mm-hmm.

Lori (28:48.246)
No, no, no.

Kelli (28:56.333)
Be knocking on that door at least once a week, right? Yeah. Allie says she wants to feel sexy and have fun if and if Jessie isn't gonna make her feel that way, she'll do it for herself. That I give her credit for.

Lori (28:59.754)
One but hope.

Kelli (29:13.961)
and then she says she never went to work with a hangover. But because she's drinking, but she is a nurse practitioner. It's really not the kind of job you can go to with a hangover. So she said Jesse did qu Yeah, exactly. Yeah. she did she said Jesse did question her going out on a weeknight.

Lori (29:24.306)
No. No, no, no, no. That's like a doctor going to work with a hangover. It's not it's not good.

Kelli (29:38.571)
And, you know, she talks about it a little bit more and says, like, I didn't marry him to for it to end in divorce. listen, I think they'll be okay, but I do think they need to go to counseling.

Lori (29:48.701)
most definitely.

Kelli (29:50.484)
Him not wanting to be intimate after they were, like after she opened that door up, like I said, like that's not great.

Lori (29:59.755)
No, not great. No, that's that's a problem.

Kelli (30:03.671)
So here we go. The boys show up at the car wash to talk to Galena. And they all go sit in the conference room, and Steven Jr. says, We're gonna sell the car washes as soon as we can. He knows the plan was to wait a few years, but there are banks getting nervous and one that holds the loan on Cole's house. And he says it's a good thing. You'll get a payday, and whoever buys the

Lori (30:26.766)
Mm.

Kelli (30:31.223)
the corporation w will want you to stay on and they're gonna pay you a good salary.

And in her confessional, she's like, Are you effing kidding me? and then she tells them in the conference room, I'm the one that knows the financial condition of the car washes and when it would be a good time to sell. And Steven Jr. ba is Stephen Jr. basically says, Well, we've made the decision and we're selling. Listen, I don't like the way this went down either. She is the financial person. You would have a more professional meeting with her. Like, listen, go

Bring me, you know, the last quarter's numbers. Let's go over the numbers because we have banks breathing down our necks. We need to come up with a plan of action. I know we were putting this off for a couple of years. We might not be able to. So bring bring us the numbers and let's discuss. Yeah. Steven Jr. says it's too stressful and Cole's like, I can't sleep at night. The banks are calling and I could be homeless and

Lori (31:14.925)
Right.

Lori (31:22.39)
Right, there's there's certain ways, right, to absolutely.

Kelli (31:37.602)
You know, we have to worry about our salaries and what we're making. And Galena's like, I've been through this like with all of you together. And Jesse says with the banks breathing down their necks, they have to sell the car washes. Cole says it's time to cut ties and go our separate ways. And she's like, we're taking it that far. See, I don't think she realized that.

'Cause she used to be in the office at the farm. Like she was their she was just their CFO or whatever, their f she was their financial person.

Lori (32:10.211)
Right.

Lori (32:14.765)
Right, right, right.

But it's awful lot of her to assume that you that you're not expendable. And and she doesn't but this is a thing

Kelli (32:28.717)
But she's part of the business like she's a business owner. She's she owns part of the business, so she's not expendable. You know what I mean? She's a partner, essentially. She the the fucking idiot father made her a partner.

Lori (32:37.602)
Well sh Right, but sh Right, but she doesn't have enough stake in it to to really have a say. She has a very small stake in that in that business. But she she is taking it on a personal level and

Kelli (32:50.241)
Of course, but

Lori (32:59.222)
It's not I don't think it's it's not a personal decision. It's a business decision. Who's to say if she didn't behave in a different manner, that she could have walked away with the money, she could have still worked at the car wash and been receiving a salary and still been invited to things with the family. See, she screwed herself.

Kelli (33:07.426)
Of course.

Kelli (33:18.937)
Right. She totally screwed herself. I don't know where they all stand. I probably should have looked into it before we came on. I did see an interview with her and she didn't say anything disparaging or anything about them. So I I kind of feel like they're all right, but but she she feels betrayed. She says to them, if you're choosing to make this personal, let's make it personal. And she gets up and walks away. And everybody knows what that means.

They all go to the cameras, they see her grabbing something, and she sm smashes out the windows of Junior's truck.

Lori (33:55.545)
They don't sh they don't they don't show her actually doing

Kelli (34:02.531)
they don't?

Lori (34:04.558)
If you look, if you look, they don't show her actually doing it.

Kelli (34:09.251)
They walk they do show her walking out with the bat though, or whatever the hell she's holding.

Lori (34:12.366)
Absolut absolutely they do.

Kelli (34:16.461)
Well, Jesse says it's been a long time since I've seen this side of Galena. And Steven Junior says he feels like at some point their lives are gonna slow down, but not right now. Not right now.

Kelli (34:29.987)
And that's basically how it ended. I mean, I I feel like there's gonna be a fourth season. I do think there's gonna be a fourth season. I don't know where Galena fits in with that because you figure they're probably I mean, the father's getting out next month. He barely served any of his sentence. Yep. So, you know, and y listen, I'm just gonna say it. Maybe I shouldn't.

Lori (34:48.076)
Right. I know, it's a pitiful.

Kelli (34:59.339)
He's the type of guy to me that will do something shady again. He's out in s in eight months.

Lori (35:04.98)
come on. Of course he's gonna of course.

Kelli (35:10.278)
This is the guy you hold to his full sentence. This is the guy.

Lori (35:14.864)
absolutely. This is the guy. Absolutely. he'll be doing shady shit the second he can. He's the kinda guy, he's the kinda guy that would do something like super fucked up, like take out a loan and like use his son's name 'cause it's the same name as him. Like, come on. He's a d he's a degenerate.

Kelli (35:21.303)
And those boys.

Kelli (35:33.623)
Yes. Yes. To I totally agree with you.

Lori (35:40.586)
Absolutely. Yeah.

Kelli (35:40.823)
I totally agree with you. I feel bad for those boys because they look up to him and I don't I don't know if he deserves that. Those accolades. Yeah.

Lori (35:48.898)
I'm thinking not so much.

So we'll see.

Kelli (35:54.083)
So that's it for McBee.

Lori (35:55.801)
But wait, wait, wait, I wanted to say this. Now, let's just take Summerhouse. Okay, so we had the whole thing with Amanda. Didn't Bravo drag her even after Summerhouse was over? Like, how come we get the last episode of McBee and there's no flash at the end to

Headlines about Steven's rage texting and the break. There's like they kinda got like like

Kelli (36:30.17)
you're right. Because there's no reunion.

Lori (36:34.582)
I mean they c and it kind of was like

He was almost like pret like protected by Bravo, like 'cause he was a guy. I don't know what it was, but I was just thinking like, okay, so where's his drag? When's when's he gonna get when's he gonna get dragged? Right. There's no there was no nothing. I was like, okay, so you you're gonna play this like

Kelli (36:38.967)
You're absolutely right.

Kelli (36:50.359)
You're absolutely right. They didn't even show them.

Lori (37:06.094)
They're breaking out 'cause she wants to move in with her sister. Like what? What?

Kelli (37:09.229)
Right, right. You're right, because we have seen rage text on the valley with Jax. It's interesting that they didn't do that. You're absolutely right. And there's no reunion, so they're not going to do it. So Bravo's just gonna ignore the fact that this guy is verbally abusive in text messages to this woman.

Lori (37:19.894)
That's what I'm saying. I don't underst I don't understand what it

Lori (37:29.676)
I mean you dragged you dragged Amanda. Her ass had scabs 'cause you drag not whether she deserved it or not doesn't really matter, but you can't say that what she did was worse.

Kelli (37:37.091)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (37:42.232)
Right.

Kelli (37:49.569)
No, you're absolutely right. I didn't even realize

Lori (37:50.638)
So I was a little confused about that. I was like, Why what what is going on here?

Kelli (37:55.96)
Yeah. No, they definitely should have acknowledged the text messages.

Lori (37:59.971)
You it it's it doesn't make sense because it's it's Bravo. It's good it's good TV for them. It's it's advantageous for them to

Kelli (38:13.977)
Mm-hmm.

Lori (38:17.048)
continue to villainize the villain kind of th and and and there was nothing. I was just like, What is going on here?

Kelli (38:19.777)
Right, exactly.

Kelli (38:24.569)
unless they're worried about bringing him back. They wanna bring him back I d no, I mean I mean Kyle said F U to his wife on on camera and they gave him a whole other show.

Lori (38:30.54)
I don't know.

Lori (38:37.782)
I'm just saying, I just thought it was odd. I thought it was very odd.

Kelli (38:40.513)
Right. Yeah, no, I'm with ya.

Lori (38:43.502)
So I don't know what that's about.

Kelli (38:45.133)
Yeah, I'm I don't know either. Great g great pickup though. I didn't I w I wasn't even thinking about

Lori (38:50.862)
Yeah, it's just it's like I don't know what's going on here.

Kelli (38:54.531)
Well listen, thanks for watching and listening. Now that McBee is over, we'll start covering Ultimate Girls Trip because I'm just gonna say it. I'm enjoying it. have you watched it yet? There's only been two episodes, so get caught up and then we'll watch it, you know, we'll we'll we'll cover the third episode next week. I'm gonna go so far as to say that Teresa's not even bothering me even a little bit.

Lori (39:04.563)
I haven't watched it yet. No, I gotta start watching it.

Kelli (39:23.327)
And Lisa Barlow has a moment where there it is really a funny scene. Kyle actually makes it very funny. And Lisa Barlow in her confessional like breaks down and cries and says, It's just been a really long time since I've laughed this hard with a group of women. Because on my cast, every time I let my guard down and feel like we're gonna have a good time, all of a sudden someone comes for me. Now, obviously.

She's a narcissist. She's pretentious, Lisa. She thinks she's up here and everybody else is down there. But I'm enjoying her on this show. Like it's it it actually is a good group of women that they that they picked. It's very good. So yeah, so we'll cover that next week. in place of McBee, because we really only have the Valley and OC going on right now. Wendy and I have to catch up on Atlanta when she gets back.

Lori (39:53.666)
Yes. Right. Right.

Lori (40:03.438)
All right, I'll watch it.

Lori (40:10.594)
Okay.

Kelli (40:16.759)
And is up to recording. And we'll just we'll just cover all three of the reunion episodes in one of our episodes because no reason to drag that on. The season dragged on too long anyway. Yeah. But thank you for watching and listening. Bye.

Lori (40:23.32)
There you go. No. Yeah, as it is, yeah.

Yep. Bye.
