Season 2 of the reality series \u201cThe McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys\u201d premieres Monday, June 30 (9 p.m. on Bravo), bringing back brothers Steven McBee Jr., Jesse McBee and Cole McBee as they preside over their multimillion-dollar family business, McBee Farm and Cattle Co, and deal with relationship issues and their father\u2019s legal drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore we even started doing this reality show, \u2018Yellowstone\u2019 came out a few years prior to it,\u201d Cole exclusively told The Post. \u201cAnd we had people coming up to us saying, \u2018You guys are literally \u2018Yellowstone.\u2019 You should have your own reality show!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Steven Jr. added that he finds the hit Kevin Costner cowboy drama \u2013 which ended in December \u2013 \u201cvery accurate, as far as waking up every single day to the external pressures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels like you\u2019re fighting so many forces,\u201d he added. \u201cYou\u2019re fighting Mother Nature, you\u2019re fighting the government, you are fighting the locals. You\u2019re just fighting the unexpected on any given day. That\u2019s how it is, on a real farm and ranch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Their father, Steven McBee, was in Season 1 (which aired on Peacock before the show moved to Bravo), but he\u2019s not in Season 2 amid his legal drama. He pleaded guilty in a multimillion-dollar crop insurance fraud case in November, and he could face up to 30 years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a real-life situation that we were dealing with throughout filming Season 2. Obviously, right now, we\u2019re still dealing with it,\u201d Steven Jr. exclusively told The Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He added that his dad\u2019s legal woes have \u201cmade us come together closer as a family.\u201d He explained that they try not to pay attention to negative comments on social media because those people \u201chave never interacted with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steven Jr., who also appeared on Fox\u2019s \u201cJoe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer,\u201d said, \u201cAnyone who knows us on a personal or professional level sees how hard we work, sees the real businesses, the real jobs that we provide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Regarding his father, he said, \u201cYes, we\u2019re dealing with that, and yes, it is a really difficult situation. But, we\u2019re going to focus on the good, positive things that are going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Season 2 also covers the brothers\u2019 personal lives. Steven Jr., has a rocky relationship with his girlfriend Calah Jackson, Cole is expecting a baby with girlfriend Kacie Adkison and Jesse is getting ready to marry Alli Ventresca (they\u2019ve since tied the knot).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesse told The Post, \u201cWe work all day, and then in the evenings, we eat dinner together and we hang out together. So if there\u2019s a fight going on between the girls, it affects us in our relationship as brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The population of Gallatin, Missouri is under 2,000 \u2013 and the show covers how that can be difficult for a woman dating a McBee brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love it up here. I love where I live. It\u2019s not for everybody,\u201d said Cole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s in the middle of nowhere. Some people say it is. For the girls, our girlfriends and wives, I see it\u2019s a little harder for them. They don\u2019t have as much to do. There\u2019s not a lot of jobs to find. There\u2019s shopping an hour and a half away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since their father is no longer on the show, their mother, Kristi, is now part of \u201cThe McBee Dynasty\u201d in Season 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steven Jr. said that she wasn\u2019t in Season 1 because she\u2019s \u201ca private person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd it was a little bit sad to see comments come in, like, \u2018Where\u2019s the mom? Do they not have a good relationship with their mom?\u2019 We are very close with our mom. And so, we\u2019re extremely excited to get to showcase that in Season 2 and get to introduce our mom to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cowboys are all the rage at the moment in pop culture, between \u201cThe McBee Dynasty,\u201d the popular \u201cYellowstone\u201d universe continuing with spinoff shows and Beyonc\u00e9 doing a country album and even cowboy fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Steven Jr. quipped, \u201cWe\u2019re finally on the leading edge of fashion, for once in our lives! We\u2019ve been wearing Carhartts, blue jeans, boots and cowboy hats for decades now. And they seem to have come back around and become popular here in the last three, four, or five years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cole added that they don\u2019t feel exclusionary over who gets to join in on the trend. \u201cI want everybody to get involved with it. It\u2019s a fun culture. It\u2019s a fun lifestyle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jesse noted that he wouldn\u2019t say the brothers are \u201cthe most cowboy out there,\u201d but \u201canybody who wants to get into the cowboy lifestyle or the farming style, ranch style, are more than open to, do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, \u201cI\u2019ll never understand why people are against people trying to learn about it or go out there and buy a cowboy hat for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jesse said, \u201cWe\u2019re all for it\u2026the more, the merrier.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
