Inside Bravo's Hit Series McBee Dynasty: Galyna Saltkovska Tells All

[SPEAKER_02]: Today, on misunderstood with Rachel, you could tell.
[SPEAKER_01]: I introduce you to everybody here.
[SPEAKER_01]: On the next thing, you backstop me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_02]: All of a sudden, you are on everybody's TV.
[SPEAKER_02]: What does that feel like to you?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a pretty surreal.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna lie.
[SPEAKER_02]: The show captures a moment that you learn that Steve Senior is dating your friend.
[SPEAKER_01]: She was studying on this place for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Without me even knowing, it was just that there was bizarre experience in my life.
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, there's a lot of legal questions you break up with this guy that you trust that you also work with.
[SPEAKER_01]: But we go to an end, and especially the one that we are facing right now is very tough one.
[SPEAKER_02]: What would you say is the best part of the show?
[SPEAKER_01]: We've grown together now.
[SPEAKER_01]: We've learned about each other so much more than we have ever done.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I'm looking forward to what future holds for us.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you've opened peacock lately, chances are you've seen it.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Mitbee Dynasty real American cowboys, and it's sitting at the top of the trending list and for good reason.
[SPEAKER_02]: Season two isn't just drama, it's a powder keg.
[SPEAKER_02]: A family run cattle empire in the heart of Missouri, one father indicted for a four million dollar fraud, four sons trying to hold the business together, and women caught in the crosshairs of loyalty, betrayal, and power grabs.
[SPEAKER_02]: This isn't just a reality show.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's succession.
[SPEAKER_02]: if it weren't set on a farm.
[SPEAKER_02]: And at the center of this storm is a woman named Galina Saltkowska, CFO of Mick B. Farms, ex-girlfriend of Patriarch Steve Mick B. Senior, and one of the most talked about scrutinized and frankly misunderstood figures on the show right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Galina didn't just fall into this world, she helped build it.
[SPEAKER_02]: She came in with a sharp mind for business, a drive to grow a farm's operations, and a deep desire to be part of this family.
[SPEAKER_02]: But when personal and professional lines started to blur, and her relationship with Steve Senior imploded, everything changed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Add in the fact that he's now dating her former very good friend.
[SPEAKER_02]: And well, let's say emotions are high.
[SPEAKER_02]: Alliances are shifting and the family is fractured.
[SPEAKER_02]: So today, we're getting Galina's side of the story.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not the soundbites, not the edits, but the woman behind the headlines behind the drama behind the dynasty.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because when business becomes personal and loyalty is tested on national television, what's left behind is never as simple as it seems.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so much for joining me today and misunderstood how are you?
[SPEAKER_01]: I am great.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for having me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's an honor to meet you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone is loving your show this season and I want to get into it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But before that, I really want to hear about you.
[SPEAKER_02]: First of all, where are you?
[SPEAKER_01]: I am actually currently in Liberty, Missouri at our car wash path quarters.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it looks pretty beautiful for a car wash.
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a pretty concept.
[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the concept of it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we are not only just a car wash, we're sorry, coffee, we have dog washers.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's really cool place.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: How do you do the dog the dog through the wash or people self do it or what happens?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, definitely do not want the dog through the wash that would be very entertaining.
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have a self-serve station at every one of our car washers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that a thing that people frequent and they use a lot?
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, honestly, in the beginning, a lot of people did not know that about that, but now I see it growing in popularity, rapidly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's definitely a hit, not an ace.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, good luck with all that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that you're doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I want to know, first of all, we can all hear your accent.
[SPEAKER_02]: So can you tell me, like, where you were born and raised?
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, I was born in former Soviet Union.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was born in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I grew up.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was almost fifteen when I moved to Krimian Peninsula.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I graduated high school.
[SPEAKER_01]: I went to college there.
[SPEAKER_01]: After that, I moved to St.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete, Russia.
[SPEAKER_01]: studied there for one more year before moving to you, graduating college and moving to U.S.
[SPEAKER_01]: I move initially to Miami area, a fourth-loaded aisle, Orlando, and then ended up here in Kansas City.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a random jump.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, what originally made you move to Miami area?
[SPEAKER_01]: I met my ex-class event, but you know, long time ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been also like it's the story on its own.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he is from that area.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I moved initially there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then what made you move to where you are now?
[SPEAKER_01]: He actually had a job offer job promotion that landed us here.
[SPEAKER_01]: We, I filed for a divorce, I separated like the same year, but I stayed here because of my daughter into gymnastics and ball length and Kansas City actually has one of the top gyms in the country.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and they did not want
[SPEAKER_01]: hurt to move as frequently as I did through my life.
[SPEAKER_01]: I literally move like almost every two years of my life.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I cannot even keep up with all my addresses and everywhere I was.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I wanted to give her a little bit of a stability and I'm like, okay, I'm just staying here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've heard that it has either famous gym or a big gym or that gymnastics is a big deal there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Huge.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: And how old is your daughter?
[SPEAKER_02]: Just when you three.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my goodness.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, she's still doing stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's still doing gymnastics.
[SPEAKER_01]: She actually just finished doing that.
[SPEAKER_01]: So she went to a college.
[SPEAKER_01]: She just graduated with Thomas for a second, finished her athletic commitment.
[SPEAKER_01]: She's getting ready to go to University of Nebraska for a low school now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: You must be very proud.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very likely to have her.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's very sweet.
[SPEAKER_02]: So how did the Macbees come into your life?
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a great question.
[SPEAKER_01]: So actually, I met Steve totally by accident, you know, just being in the same town.
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, he introduced himself to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: We started talking a long time ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: He'd learn about some of my skill sets through, you know, our communication and interactions.
[SPEAKER_01]: This, you know, he thought that, you know, we have complementary skill set, you know, invited me to participate in the business, you know, hire me for a child like that made me a partner.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's a serious, a very bizarre and weird event that, you know, I don't know, maybe I was at the right time in the right place.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you came in, you started as the CFO or did you have a job lower than that when you said no.
[SPEAKER_01]: Originally when I met Steve, I just did like some consulting for them and our time now.
[SPEAKER_01]: So then when
[SPEAKER_01]: Steve offered me a full-time job.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a COO.
[SPEAKER_01]: God, stuck down.
[SPEAKER_01]: I basically kind of failed all of you see a full position as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've learned that through my journey with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: God, and how many years ago was that?
[SPEAKER_01]: So I started with down full-time in two thousand nineteen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Two thousand nineteen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, and for people that don't know who the MacBees are, can you explain what your job was to do in the kind of company that they have?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Steve kind of self-built entrepreneur.
[SPEAKER_01]: He started with the Underground Construction Telecommunication from there.
[SPEAKER_01]: He also grew up in the rural America and always had a passion for farming.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was his ultimate goal to build a farm and a cattle operation for the boys.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he started investing immediately as he was able to into building up
[SPEAKER_01]: land and cattle and farming for the boys.
[SPEAKER_01]: And as the business was progressing, he was just expanding it.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's when he decided, you know, he knew that he needed a help to build that up.
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, pretty large farm operations, we formed as much as quarter thousand acres at some point, you know, we changing some things in our operations now, but yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think, and at what point did you guys start today?
[SPEAKER_01]: So actually, we met first.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was the first step.
[SPEAKER_01]: He got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so you met first.
[SPEAKER_02]: You started today and then you started to work with him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, the same thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm engaged to somebody.
[SPEAKER_02]: We met first.
[SPEAKER_02]: We started today.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I run all of his marketing and PR.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So don't feel like that's weird or anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think, you know, sometimes when somebody can really trust you and they see that you're good at your job and you have really good skills that they don't
[SPEAKER_02]: want outsource to someone else because they know how good you are your job.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it makes a lot of sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I can tell just from talking to you for a few minutes, you have a good head of your on your shoulders and a business sentence.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, I'm sure you're very good at what you do.
[SPEAKER_02]: So at what we did this show come into play because this show has been on for two seasons now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just saying beforehand, it's pretty amazing that you guys started with your first season on one network and the second season has now moved to Bravo, which is pretty amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Bravo fans, I'm sure you have seen or unlike anything else in all of a sudden, you're walking around, probably feeling like Angelina Jolie with everybody doing sex with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish.
[SPEAKER_01]: How did it start that the show came up that it was even offered to you guys so the crazy thing is back in a day I Don't have you seen the show, you know Steven.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so Steven is Steve song and
[SPEAKER_01]: the partner on all of the businesses.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was actually on the different reality show.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Joe de Millenaire, the real where we try to pour.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he isn't incredibly talented in the visual and
[SPEAKER_01]: He was found through just social media and he went through all the interviews and all the selection process for the show and he was chosen to be on that show.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we filmed that show first.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is how I
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, everybody kind of found out about that we actually even exist, the farm, the business, all of our dynamics, you know, we're super unusual.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Jeff Jenkins Productions approached us to feel like a little pilot episode, which apparently we delivered, so, because then we were offered the first season on the peacock.
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's how we, this particular show came to life is, you know, think,
[SPEAKER_01]: to Steven and he's offered on this first reality TV show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so what has it been like coming so sort of well from Russia to like, I'm, you know, in the middle of the country and all of a sudden you are on everybody's TV.
[SPEAKER_02]: What does that feel like to you?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty surreal.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna lie.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of people to people recognize you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do they act like they know you very well when you are, you know, walk by them in an airport?
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a mixture of things.
[SPEAKER_01]: So sometimes I can think that people looking at me and they kind of recognize me, but they don't say anything.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's people that are like, oh, I know you, you know, hang Alina.
[SPEAKER_01]: So no, definitely, you know, it's a small community.
[SPEAKER_01]: Kansas City, Liberty is a small community.
[SPEAKER_01]: So having a show in a broad or show period is a big deal.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do have an accent, you know, and I look slightly different than so I'm
[SPEAKER_02]: people usually remember me more so yeah it's it's definitely been you know quite an unrealistic experience right okay so for people that are listening or that have just caught up a little bit and haven't really watched season one yet um the arc of season one was really about you know a million dollar deal right that was like trying to close that didn't close right how did and you were a big part of that
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So can you kind of walk us through what happened with that?
[SPEAKER_01]: So obviously, well, yes, of course.
[SPEAKER_01]: We we started this whole new journey of the car washers just as we are continuing to build old businesses and
[SPEAKER_01]: We've invested a lot of money into the business and we had this opportunity to have an additional funding and for the business.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's where the storyline, not storyline, but the entire season one was not entirely about at least my portion or the, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: The financial portion was about is I'm able to close this deal.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty intense.
[SPEAKER_01]: It would have been so great if we did.
[SPEAKER_01]: I always had my hesitation because our business is fairly new.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when you're looking for additional funding, they want to have a lot more established businesses.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it wasn't an amazing experience.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm learning a lot through it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm grateful for it.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's unfortunately did not close, but I'm sure there is more ahead.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you guys have more plans ahead to do, you know, to venture out in that direction again?
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: What are some things?
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what business is all about is about growth.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And is there growth on the horizon right now that you guys are thinking of doing?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is there anything you can talk about?
[SPEAKER_01]: We are still, we had a lot of firms approaching us.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm working on a few really amazing deals.
[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully it will.
[SPEAKER_01]: Come to life.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I hope that works out for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I want to talk about something that probably people that really do follow this want to know about.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the show captures a moment that you learn that Steve senior is dating your friend.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, first of all, can we talk about it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that possible?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So can you tell me about your friendship first with this woman?
[SPEAKER_01]: So when I moved to Kansas City originally, you know, obviously it was a big move for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a group of people that lived here that I already knew.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was introduced to her as soon as I moved to Kansas City, which was eleven years ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we always kind of were socializing in the same circles and, you know, had different events together.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was never at that point probably at the level of, I don't know, popularity well that was accepting to her.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was just like interactions and just friendships just because we are from the same part of the world and we had a lot in common.
[SPEAKER_01]: more interactions came through, you know, the years as I was getting better and more established.
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, we met long, long time ago as soon as I moved to Kansas City, basically.
[SPEAKER_02]: Today this episode is sponsored by Balance of Nature.

[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so at what point did you realize that there was a relationship going on?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, were you in real time like were you on the outside you broken up with Steven senior or were you still fully dating?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like what was happening in real time?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: We were fully dating.
[SPEAKER_01]: We were fully dating, fully dating.
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, I did not even realize that until Steve out of nowhere, like we were building house together, you know, like all that stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you know, I've been having rough times here and there.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, probably a lot of you are learning.
[SPEAKER_01]: his previous, you know, relationships, while we were still in the relationship.
[SPEAKER_01]: So then, you know, I'm finding out that he completely like moved me out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, into the house that is not mine, with the furniture that is not mine, that none of this stuff was mine.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he was setting up this place for me, completely without me even knowing that it was happening.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, so he's like, you know, um, and then one day, she just got the guys and all of my stuff was moved into that place.
[SPEAKER_01]: She was there kind of like, oh, you know, like sort of unaware that it was all happening.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just that there was bizarre experience in my life.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like, I am like in the fog at that point and she's like, oh, you know,
[SPEAKER_01]: They are with me.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, the craziest thing is the following week I was just walking like I still was completely lost.
[SPEAKER_01]: And somebody showed me a piece of leather.
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw you die with the girl and they showing you the picture.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was with her.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: So until then, I still was trusting her that she was my friend that, you know, she got my back.
[SPEAKER_01]: I already was going through a hard time to begin with, you know, discovering all of those side things.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, you know, why, why have me windled me in?
[SPEAKER_01]: There's so many questions in my head.
[SPEAKER_01]: She was always tried to insert herself into my life, constantly coming to my office, constantly coming to the house, with her daughter throwing herself into it.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was never out of the pure intentions, obviously.
[SPEAKER_01]: She was there while I was like dropped off in this house.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not mine.
[SPEAKER_01]: I never chose it, but I mean, it was so surreal.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then just for me to find out the following weekend, they were together the following day after they moved like, oh, and then
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, tell me something what happened after that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: The cameras, you guys are like filming at this point, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Right at this point, we were not.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they, but I mean, they catch you and your anger about it at some point.
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: There is going to come on my anger about that will never end to be honest with you.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to be very transparent.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't do things like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, like, I am, I'm very, you know, straightforward person.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think everybody's learned about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't hide why I'm like, I read the way I read it.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't insert yourself when the person is already laying down and then keep them and I got like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you don't pretend to be a friend.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, just,
[SPEAKER_01]: She couldn't have never gone even to the house that I was dropped off at.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: She's told me that she didn't pretend that she's sympathetic with me and all that stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you go on a date.
[SPEAKER_01]: The very following day, right, all of that was just absolutely surreal.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I would never do that to any living human beings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So now I'm so curious.
[SPEAKER_02]: So within the family, within the boys, there's three boys, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Four boys.
[SPEAKER_02]: Four boys, what's your relationship with all of them?
[SPEAKER_01]: We have, I'm sure you know, great relationship.
[SPEAKER_01]: Always want to make sure that everybody understand that the boys have nothing to do with, you know, Steve's a Knight relationship.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's tragic that they had to have an effects of our interactions with Steve because, obviously, I wasn't happy with everything was going on, so it affected my personality, affected my decision-making, and how could it not?
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and unfortunately, they had to deal with some of those effects, but I want to make sure it's clear that they never, you know, it's not their fault.
[SPEAKER_01]: They never had anything to do with that.
[SPEAKER_01]: They are great kids, hardworking, I mean, boom.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love working with them.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love interacting with them.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's very unfortunate that they had to deal with the, you know, without relationship.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but the fallout.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I, you know, learning how to completely separate my relationships with Steve, focus on the business, you know, like develop my own relationship with the boys because I'm super grateful for them.
[SPEAKER_01]: They very supportive of me and they were kind of put, they were,
[SPEAKER_01]: on their own, like, put in the middle of a very uncomfortable situation.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure that they did about that they could.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, that's what I was going to say.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there's a dynamic that, yeah, first of all, you break up with this guy that you trust that you also work with and in such a, like, a way that you get with Blash, because you don't know what happened, because it has to do with a friend also.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you work with this person so you have to be there every day.
[SPEAKER_02]: See the family.
[SPEAKER_02]: The family can't help but get involved.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm assuming.
[SPEAKER_02]: So what's the relationship with this woman?
[SPEAKER_02]: Her name's Masha, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, I don't call her my name, but I'm sure you can.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the girl, let's just call her by the girl.
[SPEAKER_02]: But anyway, I have a funny story to tell you about her.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have some tea on her, random, but the relationship now are the boys okay with their dad and her, is she still with him?
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, honestly, I know that I've been a complete mess for quite some time.
[SPEAKER_01]: I own it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't deny it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I decided that, you know, I'm not going to let it ruin my entire world.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not ask those questions I'm moving on.
[SPEAKER_01]: I give a shit.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if he is with her, they deserve each other.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not like you guys run into each other at the car wash or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm kidding.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know she won't come to the car wash, but I mean the local restaurant.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope not, but he can she does not come to the farm.
[SPEAKER_02]: I assume.
[SPEAKER_01]: I, if she does, she'd better have a different schedule from me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not want to run into that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so, so he has not made an entrance.
[SPEAKER_02]: Steven Senior has not made an entrance this season yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can people expect, can viewers expect that he will be part of the season coming up?
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope so.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope so.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we have a lot going on right now with Steve and yes, you know, I would want him to be the part of this isn't obviously he is the one that started the company's great at all the companies, you know, a massive part of a lot of mess.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm sure a lot of people have questions that, you know, and one answers.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I do hope that he won't be the part of season three.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so, and I think that the thing is, is obviously there's a lot of legal questions, which I'm not going to even ask you because you, you know, whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I feel like, is that something that in real time, you guys are all wondering and have the same questions, or you guys are really appraised about what's going on, you know, and you don't have any worries about the, you know, everything that you're working on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the big alternative, and especially the one that we are facing right now, is very tough one.
[SPEAKER_01]: It impacts everybody.
[SPEAKER_01]: And no, there is a lot of unanswered questions, a lot of unknowns, but we just, you know, taking one day of a time and preparing for, you know, whatever outcome it's going to have.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was wondering if I should even bring this up, but I'm going to go on.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was on a very random call with someone I don't even know earlier today about about work.
[SPEAKER_02]: And at the end of the call, I said, Oh, you know, I was talking about my schedule.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, Oh, I have an interview later.
[SPEAKER_02]: He said with who I said your name and you're, and he said,
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I live twenty minutes from this farm.
[SPEAKER_02]: What did they call it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it a farm?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, farm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, from the farm.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it seems bigger than a farm.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, he said, I live twenty minutes away from the McBeef farms.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or he might have even said two miles.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, something with a two in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: He goes, I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: He goes, I don't, I haven't watched the show.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have to watch it now that you have
[SPEAKER_02]: going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: He goes, because my daughter is does gymnastics with Masha's, I think she was a daughter with her, does she have a daughter?
[SPEAKER_01]: She does.
[SPEAKER_01]: She does figure skating.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, okay, yeah, it's using figure skating.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for coming to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: She does figure skating with her.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there is a whole drama because she sends photos to this man that I was on the phone with.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the wife is really pissed off about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's what he said.
[SPEAKER_02]: He said everyone in town knows her for that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't want to talk bad about her because I obviously don't know her.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't mind that at all.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's what he said too.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what he said too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone he goes no one minds at her ex husband watches the show religiously because he loves that she gets called a bunch of names or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: And no one likes her.
[SPEAKER_02]: So anyways, that makes you feel better.
[SPEAKER_02]: It should that everybody in the town.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody in the town that doesn't even know your situation has a problem with her.
[SPEAKER_02]: So she seems like she's a difficult one.
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I guess that kind of person gets karma, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: I would hope so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so that's a funny little coincidence of you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so this season, they've introduced Christy McBay.
[SPEAKER_02]: How is her presence change the family's politics dynamics?
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything that's going on?
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot, a lot, a lot.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's such a great thing that she is so much present.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's healthy for the boys.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's healthy for everybody.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to get in too many details.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd like for you guys to continue watching the show and see how it's evolved.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a beautiful journey.
[SPEAKER_01]: Super happy that she is on the show.
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely love getting to know her, but I'd like to, you know, I don't want to disclose too much before, you know, future episodes, but, you know, so it's absolutely wonderful.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And for people that haven't seen this yet, what would you say is the best part of the show?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you know, give, give someone they're like elevator pitch of why they should watch the show and why it's so good and why it's doing so well because it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Apparently it's number three.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the top in the top three on peacock right now, which is fantastic.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really excited for you.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think our show has like one of the most tough and unusual situations.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we all, you know, had very different reactions to it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Very, very raw and authentic, maybe, you know, on our stocks, reaction that we did not really hold back, we did, you know, like, which is where who we are.
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, and we have a very unique group of individuals.
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know,
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very proud of our show, you know, very proud that we were very honest and authentic through the entire process.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would say tune in.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like in and buckle off.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's a great show.
[SPEAKER_01]: We've grown together now, you know, we've learned about each other so much more than we've ever did.
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I'm looking forward to what future holds for us.
[SPEAKER_02]: And when it airs every Monday, do you sit and watch it with everyone else?
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a great question because I am like extremely stressed out about watching my own show because in a way I don't want to affect it my personality.
[SPEAKER_01]: I am very much self-critic.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I feel like if I'm going to continue watching the show, I'm going to start adjusting my behaviors or you know, criticizing myself.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it will take away from who I really am.
[SPEAKER_01]: Plus, I know that this season was extremely dramatic for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is extremely dramatic for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of my behaviors, I still wonder why I did what I did.
[SPEAKER_01]: We communicate about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to kind of ease myself into watching at our portions of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But ultimately, I already left through that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need to continue living it, you know?
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yes, we do have little watch parties and the guys are always alive on Mondays.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like, I tune in and say hi.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm like, okay, I'm just going to take a break and I'm not going to relieve this again.
[SPEAKER_02]: that's awesome though that you can I understand what you mean by watching yourself on TV and you don't want to give yourself a complex or you don't want to change who you are so I can totally appreciate that and understand that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm still catching up so I'm not up to where it is yet and I'm excited to so don't give too much away but I'm curious with like it seems like the family legacy could be at stake with
[SPEAKER_02]: with Steven senior stepping back and also the legal issues and the boys are kind of in a fight for who's going to be the one taking over.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do we get to, you know, like in real time now, do we already know who's more in the lead of taking over?
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it a fight, you know, like what are your thoughts on that?
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a great question, and I wish I could give you a really good answer right now, but I would advise you just to wedge the show because this is a huge part of the show, and I do not want to give away too much.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just know that it's definitely a great dynamics.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there is a lot of stake, a lot of moving parts, and yeah, you need to wedge the show.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a cowboy version of succession.
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you seen Macho?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is actually succession meant the wild wild west.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's exactly right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: OK, great.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I can't wait to see and keep watching.
[SPEAKER_02]: Finally, could you tell viewers, I guess, one truth about this experience that we wouldn't have seen through film.
[SPEAKER_01]: say meaning like something that didn't air that that you know something that happened that didn't air that was really fun or there's there's so much you know because we have so much going on at all times and it's hard to kind of pocket in just ten episodes there's definitely
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, just keep in mind, there is a lot was happening that was causing each other, you know, behaviors or a lot of, you know, outplashes, just keep that in mind.
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a lot more to our story than meet the eyes or on the film.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I mean, like,
[SPEAKER_02]: were there any relationships that people didn't catch like you're very close with someone or you know something that actually went down on the farm that no one saw that you were like oh that was kind of a special moment you know it doesn't have to be a bad moment but anything that you feel like hasn't been shown yet that you you you wanted people to know about you or yes
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's actually, I think that most of my character, like most of my presence was evolved around just relationship with Steve or Kyle was trading him and a lot of my other sites were not shown, you know, something, you know, that I can be fine, you know, I love to dance, you know, I like to go out, I like to hang out with friends and go to dinners.
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a certain
[SPEAKER_01]: hearts of me that were not quite captured through this, you know, this season.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hoping to show all the size, all size of me in the future because I am actually can be a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you have no plans to leave the farm, even though you guys are no longer a couple, correct?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't have no plans to leave.
[SPEAKER_02]: OK, good.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love hearing that.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
