SNEAK PEEK: Steven McBee Jr. Makes A Meaty Business Deal | The McBee Dynasty

You know, I work hard.
Play hard.
Horses in the backyard.
Lest you be in my barn.
Drive it like a race car.
It’s the life I chose.
And I’m living it.

Hey.
Hi.

I’m literally still in bed.
I’m rotting.

I’ve heard rumors and legends of last night.

Oh my god.

I want to cheers to—
Bye, Steven.
Bye, Steven.
Bye, Steven.

Can you hear that?

Berkeley did the splits.
Not once, not twice, but three times.

Three.
Daddy didn’t raise a quitter.

Small town, big hitter.

You know I work hard.
Play hard.
Horses in the backyard.
Lest you be in my barn.
Drive it like a race car.
It’s the life I chose.
And I’m living.

What do you want?

Peanut M&M’s.
Peanut M&M’s, Body Armor, popcorn chicken,
and that honey mustard.

I like maybe chips.

Baked or kettle cooked?

Will you give me one of those pickles?

That’s it.

Back—oh, wait.

Cool.
Yeah.

What about ice cream?
Are you being serious?
Are you joking?

Fine.
All right.
Here we go.

The cell phone.
Please leave a message.

So my dad told me that he was going out of town.
Out of country, actually, just by himself, with some friends.

Ends up he took Masha.

Somehow that got back to Galyna.

How?

I have no idea.

Galyna is truly the most important person in our company.

This is the presentation.
And then the full request from the venture capital.

You did a good job on this.

I appreciate it.
Thank you.

Good job.
Thank you.

And now no one can get a hold of her.

She shuts her phone off.
She’s been gone for two days.

I am fucking pissed.

Carol, have you seen Galyna?

I have not seen her.

I have to go down to the city.
I’ll be back.

I’ve always defended Galyna
because her work ethic and what she’s done for the company—

At this point, there is no work ethic
whenever she’s just gone.

Take my hand.
Take control.
Take my body.
Take my soul.

Excuse me.
I appreciate y’all.
Excuse me.

I’m Andy Miller.
How are you doing, man?

Hey, this is Conor.

Conor, nice to meet you.

Absolutely.
Thanks for coming down.

Yeah, we probably should have planned this a little bit better, but—

Lunchtime meeting at the busiest spot.

You go.
I’ll follow you.

All right.
Thank you.

Excuse us.
One more.

Shoot, I grew up coming to this place.

I was going to say, have you ever been here before?

Every Chiefs game, we’d come out here.

My way, my way, my way.

Well, good.
I’m glad you’ve been here.

That makes part of the story easy for me.

I think everyone in Kansas City
has eaten here multiple times.

Kansas City’s barbecue
is what Kansas City is known for,
and specifically Arthur Bryant’s.

It seems like every celebrity
that comes into Kansas City,
they stop here.

Yeah, yeah.
This is the place to come.

This place has transcended just Kansas City.

I mean, I know that there’s been some presidents
that have eaten here.
I’ve read in the paper.

Yeah, you know Ted Lasso’s favorite barbecue sauce.

Yes.
Yes.

Thanks for shooting me an email.
We’ve been looking to source local beef.

Right, and so I kind of threw a dart email at you,
and here we are.

So I kind of want to talk to you
about the quality of the product that you have,
how much you can supply.

You know, we move through a lot of brisket.

You know, we’re looking for 12-pound briskets,
60 pounds for the box, theoretically,
but we’re probably looking anywhere between
60% to 80 boxes a week at that—
60 pounds per box.

This Arthur Bryant’s deal would be huge
if we’re able to make it work.

I mean, do you see that being an issue?

No, I don’t see it being an issue.

We run a very large operation.
So we run about 2,000 head cow-calf pairs,
all Angus.

It’s all locally raised,
locally owned.

So it’s all good stuff, right?

But delivery schedule—
I need to get a refrigerated van
coming to be able to meet the demand
and make sure that we can deliver on time.

This is a much bigger deal than I was expecting.

Arthur Bryant’s is needing
2,000 to 4,000 pounds of brisket per week.

That’s a giant amount of volume.

What are you guys doing delivery-wise?
Is it once a week?
Twice a week?

Twice a week right now.

Mondays and Thursdays
we would like to take delivery.

We try and run it pretty thin,
which is why it’s important
that you communicate
if something’s going to be late
or you can’t hit an order.

Right.
Yeah.

I’d rather overcommunicate
than go dark or do anything
to mess up your guys’ business.

Yeah, the first thing we’ll be looking for
when we get you in here with some samples
and test it out will be—

How does it taste?
Does it taste like Arthur Bryant’s beef?

That part’s pretty crucial.

This deal with Arthur Bryant’s
could be a potential six-figure-per-month deal
if we’re able to come to an agreement.

And this is why it was a smart decision
for my dad to leave me in charge of the farm
and not Cole.

And local is important to me,
but not to the extent that it detracts from the business.

Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I plan on being very hands-on
as we get this going
to make sure we do a damn good job with it.

I know we got a line probably out the door right now.
So can we get you some lunch?

Yeah, that’d be awesome.

Hey, mama, will you be my lover?
‘Cause I need you in my life.

I know I took my time,
I went round and round,
but I really need to get this right.

Sir, are you going to put, like,
little critters or baby bottles
or anything like that?

Was there a how-do-you-do-that file?

Did you click on the right-clicking thing?

I ain’t done this
since, like, sixth or seventh grade.

Well, it’s the blind leading the blind.

We need a crash course on updates
because this is new.

What is this?
Windows 50?

Now by this time,
now it’s Googling it.

Oh, we’re on Google.
Yeah.
Oh, good night.

It’s been a long time
since we had a little out here on the farm.

Oh, I am so excited about the new baby.

I should probably call her.

Yeah, I’d be calling her.

Alrighty, let me—

I’ve got the sheer privilege and honor
to watch these boys grow up.

And I’ve always said
they’re my adopted babies.

And now they got a baby coming into the world.

It just warms my heart.

Hello, hello.

What time do you want
the gender reveal next Sunday?

Probably around sunset.

Right.
Around sunset.

Yeah.
OK, that’s fine with me.

We had different times in mind.

Red barn pavilion,
6:00 PM.

Does that sound good?

Yep.

Do you know how to spell pavilion?

He’s already gotten on there.

I already spelled it.

You should be very proud.

Thank you.

See ya.

Bye-bye.

And you could go.

Is it a Mickey or a mickey?

Well, that is pretty good.

Good job.

Color—been there, done.
