Following the dramatic conclusion of The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys Season 2, Steven McBee Jr. wishes one regrettable moment with his mom Kristi McBee never happened.
Steven Jr., more specifically, told The Daily Dish that he was “disgusted” by the “coffee shop talk” in which Kristi had to walk away from the eldest of her four sons after reminding him that a trip to Nashville might have been OK for a recently single Steven, but not for the engaged Jesse McBee and expectant father Cole McBee.
“I completely regret how I came across to her,” Steven said during the exclusive interview. “I love and respect my mom more than anything, and in that moment of frustration, I came across disrespectful, entitled, and with a complete lack of humility.”
“Just know I was disgusted watching that back and have definitely learned from it,” he added.

Details on the Season 2 conversation that Steven McBee Jr. regrets
The conversation with Kristi occurred on Season 2, Episode 7, and saw Steven state that being alone on his rural property was “a prison sentence,” in addition to accusing Kristi of “talking down” to him about the Nashville trip. Kristi, meanwhile, maintained he was taking his frustrations over his breakup with Calah Jackson out on her. The mom pointed her finger and threatened to remove her mic, and soon left the coffee shop once she was done with his “grumpy” attitude.
In addition to expressing his regrets while speaking to The Daily Dish, Steven told his mother he was “one hundred percent wrong” and defended his commitment to McBee Farm & Cattle on an August episode of their Meet the McBees podcast. Kristi said she was “glad” Steven acknowledged her side of the argument, as posted on Instagram.
Steven McBee Jr. shares what surprised him most on Season 2
Of course, hindsight is 20/20, and Steven said there was much to learn when watching Jesse’s wife-to-be, Alli Ventresca, and Cole’s expectant girlfriend, Kacie Adkison, back in real time. It was “interesting,” he said, “watching the perspective of others and hearing their take on certain situations.”
When it came to the women’s “opinions on the pregnancy, the wedding, us boys and our family,” Steven continued, “It’s a good self-improvement session if you’re able to watch it back and humble yourself to understand where you could have handled things better or not reacted so swiftly to a given situation.”

Steven Jr. told The Daily Dish he should have been more guarded about his and Calah’s three-year relationship, which became the center of much family drama.
Explained Steven, “I love my family and lean on them for so much, but there are times where I need to keep certain conversations about my significant other to myself and not vent to my family, as it leads to serious resentment. And while we may forgive our partner, our family struggles to.”

Since filming ended, the oldest brother said he is not involved in “anything serious,” but he’s “definitely looking” in terms of a romantic relationship.
As for Calah, “I still care about her, but watching everything play back is hard, and brings back the emotions of that time period, so it’d be tough to still continue to talk in any capacity while watching episodes play back and not feel emotionally charged,” Steven Jr. said. “I wish her nothing but the absolute best and for all of the success in her life. She’s an incredible woman, and we have so many great memories created together, even through the tough times.”
