Transcript

00:00Obviously, you're dealing with a lot of big issues this season, too, and we see it at the end of

00:04episode three when the FBI investigation is brought up and you're like, I don't really want

00:10to talk about this. How was it for you navigating being on a reality TV show and having to talk

00:16about something that is obviously so deeply personal, so deeply troubling? How did you

00:20kind of navigate that this season? It's really, really tough because that is constantly at the

00:25forefront of your mind, like no matter what you're doing, even when I'm laying in bed at night or

00:29even if I'm busy hanging out with my brothers out at a restaurant, you're always thinking

00:33about that, and it's still ongoing to this day, and so that's something that throughout

00:38season two was an underlying factor that added to the stress and pressure of what we were

00:43feeling at the moment, and I think that that carries over in what you're watching in season

00:47two where you see me and you're just like, man, that guy looks like he's about to have

00:51a crash out. I am. Yeah, yeah, I am. So it was a really, really tough season, really vulnerable

00:56at moments, but I'm proud of the way that we all still were willing to put ourselves out there, and

01:02again, we still showcased the good, the bad, the ugly, and we did not hold back.

01:07Seems like you find out all of this on camera. Is that true? Yeah. And what was that like for you?

01:11It was a shell shock, just seeing the weight that Steven had been, it made a lot of things make a

01:16lot more sense, just the way that Steven was stressed out, and we were trying to figure out like

01:20why, like we thought we knew all the stresses and obviously who's holding that in and, you know,

01:24bearing that weight on his shoulders. So it was a shell shock, and I think you'll probably see that

01:29on camera, just how surprised Cole and I were and just our reactions and basically how we're going

01:35to move forward from it now. And how do you move forward with it now? How? Well, we've leaned into

01:40family. We take it day by day. The situation is still ongoing. We're hoping to have it wrapped up

01:46and have some finality to it before the end of the year. That's the goal, just so we can move on

01:51and say, okay, you know, we've got this figured out. We can start life again now. But really just

01:55leaning into family and loving and supporting each other and especially being there for my dad.

02:00And if anything, it's drawn us closer together as a family, which I'm really proud of. Again,

02:05I think it can either tear you apart or bring you together. And we're definitely closer than we've

02:10ever been. Right. Yeah. You know, your dad is facing some jail time. How do you prepare

02:14for that as a family? Well, the hard part about it is it's so unknown. Like we don't know what it's

02:21going to look like. So we're preparing, you know, we're eating dinner together as a family with my

02:26dad, including my mom, driving up to the farm three to four nights a week, enjoying the time

02:31with the grandbabies, like just really cherishing time as a family, because we don't know what it's

02:36going to look like afterwards.
