If you haven’t had a chance yet to check out our newest sponsor, She Schaefer Outfitter, now is the time because we are coming up on outerwear season and that is what they do best.

Now depending on where you are, it may still be hot, and they’ve got great lightweight performance shirts and pearl snaps for exactly that.

And if you’re up north or on the coast, you know that brisk weather is just around the corner.

And Schaefer Outfitter has the perfect functional layers — vests, denim shirts, jeans, their signature coats and jackets, whatever you need.

It’s going to fit well, be comfortable, and perform like you expect it to.

This is high-quality apparel from a family-owned, authentic western brand.

We’ve been wearing Schaefer Outfitters since long before they were our sponsors.

In fact, I’ve had this vest for about five years now, and we’re excited to spread the word with our fans.

The feedback that we’ve gotten so far from folks that have tried them out is that the clothing was even nicer out of the box than what they expected from the website and the photos.

So give them a look.

Again, that’s code MCB during checkout for 15% off at scheaferoutfitter.com.

I don’t know if I’d say I’m excited for it.

I would just say that you will be getting an authentic front view — or a front-row seat — to our lives and what this period of time has encompassed, and it’s encompassed a lot.

So as far as what this podcast looks like moving forward, first of all, thank you so much for all of the comments regarding the rebrand.

I went through every single one.

I actually had our editor break them down into a Word document and send me every single comment we have had across all social media platforms so I could take the time and scan it.

And I read through it on the way back from Vegas.

There are so many good comments, so many supportive comments, and so many things that I didn’t realize that you guys valued.

To be honest, the amount of people that said “We love how you guys get up here and talk casually rather than have a structured podcast” — that was interesting to me.

Because for me, sitting up here rambling about our life events, I’ve always thought, “Okay, this has to be so freaking boring for anyone listening in or tuning into this.”

Like there has to be some sort of structure.

But hearing what you guys are saying in the comments about liking the fact that we’re up here talking so casually, I think there’s a balance that we can find.

A balance between a structured podcast that has recurring segments that you know what to expect and has a theme or a topic that we specifically focus in on.

And then also having a period of time throughout each podcast where we do just shoot from the hip.

Where we go casual conversation, talk about what’s happening around the farm, what’s happening in our personal lives, and really have no specific agenda in mind.

Just shooting from the hip, speaking from what’s in our hearts and what’s on our mind.

And again, that wouldn’t have happened — or that idea wouldn’t have been spurred — if it wasn’t for you guys commenting.

So thank you so much for that.

We are building out our new podcast studio.

And by our new podcast studio, I mean the basement of my house, which is unfinished.

That is where we’re going to be recording the studio.

It’s going to look a little different.

We already have the vision board in mind for what that studio will look like.

It’s going to be a lot more comfortable.

We’re going to have couches — you’re welcome, Cole.

And it’s going to have a lot more of a homey vibe than necessarily this studio with a table and us hunched over stools.

So I’m hoping that it will allow us to feel more comfortable.

Anyone we have on — including my brothers and my family — will hopefully feel more comfortable.

I would assume that’s going to take three to four weeks to build out.

So the next couple of podcasts might be from my living room couch.

In fact, they most likely will be from my living room couch.

It’s not going to be the prettiest of studios to begin with, but I promise you we will get there.

I am huge on aesthetics, so I want a studio that looks good.

So it’s going to bother me that the first podcast of More Than McB is going to be done from a couch in a non-studio version.

But we’ll see how it turns out.

I think it’ll end up being alright.

I’m excited for it.

Ally and I have already started putting together topics for what we’re going to launch More Than McB about.

And I think the very first podcast we’re going to go over, we’re going to dive into Ally and I’s connection and how we have bonded on a much deeper level than just physical attraction.

Obviously physical attraction is there, but there is so much more depth to what led to the success of our relationship and how things have been going so far.

And I believe that is going to be what we cover in More Than McB.

So I’m excited to hop on with her.

Y’all will get to see her expanding in long-form.

She’s never done any podcasts other than the one we did in Vegas with Like a Farmer, which will be released I believe in early to mid-January.

That was her first podcast.

So what you see on her social media is short-form content with hardly any speaking whatsoever.

And I’m excited to be able to showcase to the world how intelligent she is and how well-spoken she is.

She’s going to blow me out of the water when it comes to intelligence and being well-versed in public speaking.

I trip all over myself.

I use “um” and “you know” non-stop.

And she can talk for hours and hours on end without ever breaking stride and without ever using a filler word.

So yeah, I’m excited about it.

And y’all will get to see how well our chemistry is together and really what made us hit it off so quickly.

I know that we have moved so fast in our relationship, and I’ve seen some comments about how this one must just be for the show or must be for social media or that I am love-bombing.

I hate that term, by the way.

In my opinion that is a BS made-up term.

What do you mean that you’re nice to someone to begin a relationship and yet that’s considered love-bombing?

No.

How about that’s just being a good person?

And yeah, I don’t know.

I feel like there are a lot of people out there today that label someone as a love bomber and say that it’s some sort of tactic.

Maybe for a very small percentage of people that are complete narcissists.

But for other people, that’s just being a good person and being excited about a fresh relationship.

Obviously there is a honeymoon period and things are not always going to be rainbows and butterflies in a relationship like they generally are in the beginning.

But I hate the term love-bombing.

So please refrain from using that in any comments regarding mine and Ally’s relationship.

I can assure you that is not the case.

And if anything, we started off our relationship literally from day one filming reality TV.

You want to talk about putting strain and stress on a relationship that very few people understand?

Filming a reality show means you’re talking about the worst problems in and around your life over and over and over again.

So to put that at the start of a relationship and still be able to have a strong connection and continue to build that connection while filming reality TV — that is not love-bombing.

That is a relationship built on solid communication and very good chemistry.

So apologize for that rant there.

Anyways, I’m excited.

I hope you all have a great holiday season.

We’ll be seeing you soon again.

It won’t be the new studio just yet, but I’m hoping to have that done soon.

I’ll be excited to not be by myself on here for the next podcast.

Excited for y’all to tune in to More Than McB.

And we’ll see you right after the holidays.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
