   The Last Ride of Meet the McBees | Vegas, Family Updates & What’s Next in 2026

   Steven closes the chapter on Meet the McBees with the final episode of the year (and the final episode before the rebrand). Steven recaps a whirlwind trip through Las Vegas, which included NFR and Cowboy Christmas, shares personal updates from Dad, talks holiday plans, and gives insight into Season 3 filming. He also walks listeners through the vibe of the brand-new podcast studio, why change was necessary, and what the future of the podcast looks like in 2026. This episode isn’t just a recap, it’s a reset. One chapter ends. A new one begins. Subscribe and leave a review to support the show!

   A Tough Goodbye, New Adjustments & The Future of Meet the McBees

   Steven sits down solo in the studio for one of the most honest updates yet. He shares what it was like dropping Dad off at prison, the adjustments the family is making on the outside, and how the McBees are navigating this new chapter together. Then he turns the focus to the podcast: what 2026 could look like and why your feedback matters more than ever. Subscribe and leave a review to support the show!

   Cowboys at BravoCon & a Parable with a Punch

   Steven rolls into the pod studio and he’s got a lot to unload: the highs, lows, and surprises from BravoCon, another return trip to Las Vegas for the NFR, and Dad's December 1st report date. Then he dives into The Fisherman and the Businessman, the story that’s been stuck in his head and changing how he thinks about life, work, and priorities. Can you relate?

A Tough Goodbye, New Adjustments & The Future of Meet the McBees

Published 9 Dec 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So in saying that, we sat down over the last month and said, okay, what are we going to do? How can we rebrand this to where we still catch all of the traffic from the TV show? So if someone was to search the name McBee on Google, they'd be able to see not only our businesses, but this podcast and associate the podcast with the McBees, but get it to where we can focus on things outside of just the world of McBee or the McBee stratosphere. and so came up with the name more than McBee and I think it fully encapsulates what we're trying to do with the podcast this is so much more than just us about our family yes we're going to recap episodes yes we're going to give you life updates in our world because you guys are so invested in it and we appreciate that so much it's still crazy to me how much y'all love following along with our lives I don't think we're that interesting but the fact that y'all are so invested, it's really, really cool.
