In this emotionally charged and unfiltered episode, Steven McBee is joined by his Mama and things get real. The two dive into the recent loss of Cole’s beloved dog, Cash. Steven confronts some of the disrespectful comments he made to his Mama (yes, she’s holding him accountable), and Mama shares the real story behind getting banned from TikTok. Apparently, the comments section got the best of her. Mama also opens up about her feelings during her one-on-one with Galyna. Expect laughs, honesty, and maybe a few tears in this can’t-miss Mama and son sit-down. Catch The McBee Dynasty Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo, then come hang out with us on Tuesdays for a recap!
I got banned from Tik Tok for a little bit. I I did. There’s I’m not I will never deny the fact that I’m a mama’s boy.
Okay, but can we say one thing about that? I did not spoon feed you till you were 11 years old. That was a dumb joke I said on Joe Millionaire. You It was maybe seven.
Stephen, it wasn’t seven. Do you know how old seven is? You weren’t even in school. You weren’t even in I mean, do you know how old seven years old is for me to sit there? You were playing football at seven.
Okay. No, you weren’t speaking. Exactly. That’s And you keep saying that and every…
Hey y’all. Welcome to Meet the MC Bees. Today we’ve got Mama McB in the studio. We’re going to be talking all things the McB dynasty. Thus far in the season. As of this podcast, we will have gone through eight episodes. So, we’ve only got two more to go for the end of the season, the season premiere or the season finale, I guess I should say, ending in Jesse and Alli’s wedding, which we are so excited to watch. So, saddle up. Let’s get down and dirty with it.
Well, we were going to have Cole and Casey in here today. You actually, it’s a Wednesday. You are usually at your office and you’re not. You’re here at the farm today because Cole woke up this morning, went to leave his house to come to the office, and his dog Cash had gotten hit by a car. It was a rough morning. Rough morning for Coley. Feel bad for him. Um, yeah, poor guy. Yeah, he’s pretty tore up. So he’s Cash’s 5-year-old dog that he’s had, yellow lab, and yeah, not a good day.
It’s a sad day. So, mom found out that was at 7:30 this morning and you canceled all your plans.
Yeah, I think I flew out of the office. Got out of the office and came straight up here, canceled her day to be up here. And as you know, sat with Cole there for a little bit. He’s still obviously hurting and will be for a while. But we love you, Coley.
We love you, bud. Stinks. We love Cash. We loved Cash. He was a good dog. He liked to be free and he liked to chase cars. And unfortunately, that new house is right by a road. Yeah, rough.
But yeah. So anyways, we’ve got Mama McB in here today. And we’re excited to have you back on the podcast. It’s been a couple months. I think the last time you were on here, was there episodes planned?
No. Yeah, I’ve been on here with Blair.
So probably episode two or three maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah. So now that we’re on by the time this releases episode eight, what do you think so far? It’s been a ride for sure.
Yeah, we’ve had some ups. You guys didn’t prepare me for this. We’ve had some ups. We’ve had some downs. The emotional roller coaster, the swing of emotions. Had a lot of downs. Yeah. And I think that I’m glad, obviously under unfortunate circumstances, but I’m glad to get you in here because of not the episode from last night, but the episode from a week ago, which would have been when we went to Nashville. You and I whenever we got back had a conversation at the coffee shop up here in Gallatin, and I feel like you and I talk about anything and everything. We are so close and I 100% was disrespectful in that conversation, which I never am.
I didn’t realize how bad it was. That was bad. There’s no excuse for that. It was disrespectful and obviously I apologized to you right after.
You’ve apologized to me I think 50 times within 24 hours of that happening. I was in a horrible mood. I can’t remember what was going on exactly that day, but there was always a lot going on. That doesn’t justify it, but that’s why I don’t. You guys, boys, don’t talk to me that way. That was a one-off. You never allowed that, and you guys honestly have just never done that to me.
I again, I don’t know what was going through my mind. I didn’t realize how bad it was till I watched it play back, and obviously I’m catching a little bit of heat online, but everyone’s like, “You need to go apologize to your mom.”
Yes. Like that day, like that night, or like an hour after that. I know it was, because you and I, well, it was on my way before I even got onto 35. You had called and apologized. “I’m sorry, I hadn’t eaten. I know I was hangry, but there was something else going on. It was just no excuses.” That was disrespectful and I do apologize for it.
I think what I was trying to say, and again, I’m not justifying it, I was 100% wrong. But what I was trying to say was where I am at the farm, I live so far away from everyone. The workload at a farm is very hard to up and leave.
So my brothers are my only friends. I have other friends, but at 30 years old, most of my friends are married with families now. They just aren’t able to hang out. Rightfully so.
Because of the line of work we’re in with farming and ranching, we have to be here pretty much full-time. It’s not like I can up and leave and go to Austin, Texas, Nashville, or Tampa, Florida, where there are a lot of young single people.
It’s very hard for me to do that because I can’t go away for that long. That’s what I was trying to say. But I said it very disrespectfully. I was like, “My brothers are my only friends. I don’t have other friends I could ask to go.”
Again, we shouldn’t have gone to Nashville. Nothing happened, but looking back, that was a bad decision.
I’m glad you acknowledge that. You’re obviously 30 years old, a grown man. I’m still going to give advice to you boys. I always will. I don’t overstep, but it’s hard for me when I’m watching everything. Jesse and Cole just don’t need to be out. It brings nothing but trouble.
It puts them in situations they don’t need to be in. There’s just a lot going on. It’s been a hard couple of years. It hasn’t been easy and it’s still not easy.
That was almost a year ago, 10 and a half months. That was a rough scene. I didn’t fully watch it; I watched for a couple minutes and turned it off. It was worse than I remembered.
I was staring at you because when you guys were young, I could give you that look: “You better stop right now.” And you kept going even after. That look I used to give you wasn’t working that day.
I will never allow you boys to disrespect me. You boys don’t ever disrespect me. People can say I’m overbearing, but there are lines that I draw, and that was one of them. You’ve never crossed that before, and doing it on national TV for the first time was a great choice… wonderful choice.
Part of what has made this show a success is we don’t try to edit anything. You get the good with the bad, and that was certainly a bad moment.
The timing of the situation, I was a little heartbroken. I was lonely, here with Sika and my chickens. There was a lot of emotions going on. Not everyone understood the full context, but even with context, it was disrespectful. I apologize.
We have moved on. Sometimes it’s hard watching these back because we lived through that, and now we have to relive it. But it’s part of the reality show experience.
Watching yourself is like looking in a mirror. You see flaws in the way you reacted, learn from it, and try not to do it again. We’re not perfect. I don’t always handle situations perfectly, but we all try to learn from it.
Season two had a lot of learning lessons. We’re in a much better place now. We’re not completely out of the woods, but many good things are happening. Two new beautiful grandbabies. Things have been so much better.
Mom has moved close to Jesse, Ally, and Braden. Now she’s closer to the farm. That makes it easier to help with Summer and baby Blair. Blair is only 50 minutes away at the farm.
Casey and Cole, who used to never come down to the city, are coming down now. Blair has had sleepovers. Summer hasn’t slept over yet, but mom watches her a couple days a week.
We talked about Schaefer Outfitter, a brand mom has worn for over 5 years. High-quality western wear, ranch wear, and workwear since 1982. Family-owned, quality and value emphasized.

We’ve enjoyed doing the Monday live sessions as a family. Mom wasn’t initially into social media, not even Instagram, but she’s on TikTok now, mostly for recipes and home ideas.
I got banned from TikTok for a little bit. I will never deny being a mama’s boy. I fully embrace it. That joke about being spoon-fed till 11 was false. Maybe three times, but not all the time.
The internet ran with it. There’s been some hate online about me being an entitled mama’s boy. Mom has been defending me in comments, which sometimes makes it worse.
Mama bear comes out on TikTok. I told her to try to restrain herself. She’s trying. She defends everyone, my brothers, the girls too.
The episode with Galina was awkward. It had been five years since we spoke. Watching her react is tough, but I understand she truly cares. She would do anything for us.
Watching past arguments is healing but also tough. Letting go of bitterness is freeing. The last two and a half years, learning to forgive, has made life better.
Season two was full of highs and lows. Watching it brings secondhand embarrassment, awkwardness, but it shows the consistent support in our family.
Mom has always been the consistent one, caring for everyone. Some negative comments exist, like overbearing or spoiling her son, but if that’s the worst, it doesn’t bother her.
We talked about her relationship with Uncle Jimmy. They have great brother-sister chemistry. We enjoyed seeing that on the show.
Divorce was a hard time; she had to cut off everyone except us boys. That was necessary for her to get through it.
We enjoyed reconnecting with family on this season. Seeing all the nieces, nephews, and cousins was healing.
Some parts of trips were fun; some were not. Promises of no drama sometimes fail due to past history and alcohol.
Cole let loose after holding back. Season two includes Jesse and Allie’s wedding as the finale. We are excited for it.
The season has been a rollercoaster. Emotional swings require family support. Some things are unexpected, like the healing from being back at the farm.
Watching past appearances, like Joe Millionaire, brings perspective. Divorce had just finalized back then. It was a very difficult time.
Time heals. Being able to reconnect with family, see all the MC side, the kids, was really good. Tough moments happened, but watching the season shows our consistency and care.
Mom is a loving mother-in-law and grandmother. People may say she’s overbearing, but she is caring and supportive.
We discussed TikTok, merch, and fun stories like shampooing mishaps. She’s proud of new merch designs. Oversized, drop-shoulder shirts are on mcbfarmms.com.
The podcast drops every Tuesday. We will continue even after the season ends. Different cast members will join. More topics from the farm and grandbabies will be shared.
Take it easy on Cole; he’s hurting today. We’ll help him power through.
Thanks for coming on the podcast. We appreciate your perspective and the consistent love you show the family.
