Muse

Hey, I'm Harrison Prentiss, and for years I kept putting my dream of making music on the back burner. Then I decided it was time to stop waiting and go all in. That journey inspired my new song, Monsters. It's about confronting the fears, doubts, and inner battles that we all face. So if you've ever felt like you were carrying something heavy that no one else could see, this song is for you. Check out Monsters wherever you listen to your music and follow me on social media at Harrison underscore Prentiss Music. Thanks for listening. Sleep with the lights on these days.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0. Yes, I don't normally do the introduction, but Todd is away this week, so I am fortunate enough to have Nanny here. Todd usually is the one that gets to have Nanny on, so I am super excited for this episode today and to delve into all the good stuff. Hi. Hi. How you doing? I'm good. I just saw you. We drove here together. Um, so we're not normally on here, just the two of us. No, they don't allow us. I just have to bail him out every once in a while. Oh, gotcha. I hear ya. I hear ya. Um, so when I asked Nanny if she would be on today, she was like, sure, we'll just talk crap about Todd. Well, that's a good subject. um so you know we have um we've kind of been going through this new phase of life recently right a real phase of life yes so uh nanny is with us like with us at home now and uh you know people ask me all the time is that hard is it hard having your mother-in-law live with you and i can honestly tell you that it's not i don't pay any attention i do what i want to do but i mean we don't really have an issue i mean um you know our house is kind of crazy right now because it's full there's like we're running over um we're still trying to get our house fixed so it's it's a little bit different it's not the ideal situation let me say that, but I feel like we have made the best of it. Let's get up and do the best we can every

day. Doesn't make any difference. You pick up, put up, do what you want to. I get ready to go

somewhere. I say bye. Yeah. And I go. Right. You do. You do. But you, um, but you've been a little, I don't want to say under the weather. You haven't been under the weather, but you have had this issue with your knee. Oh, that's a bad situation. Yes. But I hope to get it fixed

tomorrow. Yes. And I'll be on the go again. So Nanny is a believer that her knee issues

stem from her COVID shot that she got. And it was. Okay. Tell, just tell everybody because then I'm going to follow it up to say that we've actually told this to a few different

doctors right okay I've been blessed I've never taken medicine I've done well and you know we were doing the show right so you know I'm the oldest so they tried to protect me big me to take the shot I didn't want to but you know what that's what I say don't be a follower be your own self Right. Because I wish I'd have never taken it. Right. I've taken two. And when I ended my last one, three weeks later, I was in a restaurant and I started to scoot out. And my leg gave away with me. And I've had problems with it ever since. And all these doctors say it's arthritis. I'm not going to say, I'm almost 82, that I don't have no arthritis. But listen, I've been able to do anything I've ever wanted to do. till my knee gave away with me. So I just say, it looks pretty positive

that that was the problem. So this is, she swears by this. Now, we're not medical professionals. We're just telling her story and what she believes, right? So we did have a doctor that said, okay, there's been some studies that say that the shot has caused different issues, right? And then we just saw a doctor.

to her and he said well nanny i'm not gonna say that it did or that it was or it wasn't caused back by that but he said after he took the shot that he became lactose intolerant almost immediately so who knows i don't know but we're gonna go with it okay i'm an example okay now she does have arthritis she's fought against that now i mean because for a few years now remember the last time when I took you and the doctor said, ma'am, you have arthritis. She looked him straight in the face and said, no, I don't. Well, listen, so she does have arthritis. I have arthritis. So everybody does. Right. So we went to the doctor and I finally talked her in to go into the doctor. I've been saying, nanny, you need to go to the doctor. We need to find out what's going on with your knee. So, because it's really the only thing that's holding you down is this knee issue and i don't want that right so we go to the doctor he does an x-ray and he says miss chrisley it is past bone on bone past like you can literally see in the x-ray where the bone is like just like crushing the bone on top of it like you can see where it's it's it's not good which it explains your lack of mobility it explains your pain everything right so tomorrow we are going to go for a procedure and hopefully this will give you some relief it's not a fix but it's going to give you some relief and that'll give you a little bit of time to think about the knee replacement and you know you're going on good girl rx as soon as she has this procedure so we're hoping to drop a little weight to help with that and if you do in fact have to do the knee replacement they have told you that dropping a little weight will help make your recovery better so it'll make me look better too oh my lord now she's worried about how she looks at 82 well you gotta always worry about how you look right and i'm gonna do my best this is our medical journey that we're on right now so we'll see what happens and i will definitely give you an update but uh so we're going to the doctor tomorrow and folks she is not the best patient well i'm just gonna say it is such a blessing because you other than the your bladder cancer and i'm not i don't want to diminish that because that was a horrible thing but other than that you have never really been sick like that was the first time you were ever put to sleep was when you had your bladder cancer i've been blessed and that's why i know arthritis don't start in a day so the good to that is that she has been healthy her whole life really the bad thing is is that she's not a real

good patient but i can't stay in pain no she says no she does not have a high tolerance for pain folks so i am i'm gonna say my prayers tonight and hope and pray that it goes good tomorrow because listen we've had some experiences with the pain like she don't even like to go to the chiropractor one day she calls me she says Julie I gotta do something I've got a crick in my neck it hurts me so bad I said okay I'll take you to the chiropractor I pick her up take her to the chiropractor we get there oh I can't do it I can't do it I said lay down she said I can't do it it hurts so bad i said it's not gonna get better if you don't let this chiropractor do what they do oh my lord she it was like having a toddler in there but i love you and but anyway tell them what you did she pushed me down i said lay down i didn't bring you up here for you not to get this done lay it down it was like i was talking to one of the kids and we did and was it better yeah i want that better right but listen she takes no medicine like you understand i go to with her to every doctor's appointment and they'll ask her miss chrisley we need your list of medications i don't take any and they look at me literally like one time at vanderbilt the nurse stopped me out in the hallway and she's like i just want to make sure you know does miss chrisley have dementia or anything because she's telling us that she doesn't take any medication i said no she has no dementia and no she takes no medication she's like none she's like i'm like no nothing she's like do you understand i have worked in this geriatric side of this hospital for nine years and i have never met a patient that doesn't take one medication i said well you have now well I'm blessed and I'm going to have my knee done and I'll be on the road

run again. Oh, my Lord. She's like a teenager trying to escape. Well, I'm trying to work with

old age. Yeah. And listen, let me tell you, young children, enjoy your life now. Don't holler. I can't wait till I'm retired. That's your worst time of your life. Why do you say that? Well, Don't look at me now when I was young.

But you have to understand, Nanny thinks that a job is the key to everything. Like, she's trying to find a job right now. I got one when I get better. Because she feels like that your life is not complete without a job.

No, I've been working my whole life. Right. I never have known when I didn't work. Todd's like, Mama, just enjoy your life. Do what you want to do. well I do what I want to do but I can still have a job and do that too

right now listen I want to talk so this is just me and you talking here tell me how how is it living with Todd again

well you heard what I told him the other day I said you look better going up those stairs than you do coming down he said mama you worse than any child that I have I said, well, you shouldn't have wanted me here. Well, but he says, you might as well get used to it. I know it, but he thinks I'm going to stay forever, but I am going to visit and stay a lot, but not all the time. Okay. And that's the way it is.

And he says, Mama, you need to just get that out of your head.

I know, but you're going to be with me wherever I go, you go. I know, but I'm not ready for that. yeah maybe I got 10 more years before I'm ready to be complete I live alone with y'all oh okay okay so I got things to do well you can still do all those things no it ain't always in the same place okay so you know I have to you know I do a lot of things

cross country oh okay got you got you so I know you want to be able to travel I want to be able

to go when I want to. I mean, I can go when I want to. Nobody's got no balling chains on me. I can do what I want to, but I try to be a little bit better that when I go out my door, I can close it and I don't have to worry about nobody inside worrying about what I'm doing. Okay, because Todd kind of likes to get up in your business sometimes. Yeah, he likes to think he's the mama and I ain't died and lived him at yet. So that's just what it is.

He likes to think he's the boss. Like I'm a child.

What he tries to tell you, what to wear, what to eat, and Mama talks about my hair, wants me to go get it cut. He wants me to go do it this way. Well, I'm not going to do it any other way. I've earned this white hair, so I'm going to wear it.

Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Think Dr. Squatch is some small, wholesome company? Burt's Bees? Native? Well, think again. They've all been bought out by mega corporations and private equity firms who hijacked these beloved brands and filled them with the same corporate slop as everyone else. But one company is doing things differently. The Van Man Company. They started the tallow trend a few years back with their grass fed tallow moisturizers, and they've been crushing it ever since with hit after hit of clean, nearly edible solutions for everyday products. Here's the thing about tallow. It's the best moisturizer on earth because the fatty acids in tallow are nearly identical to the oils in our own skin. Your body actually recognizes it. One use and you'll feel the difference. Your skin will be softer and smoother than anything you've gotten from a bottle full of chemicals and fillers. And because there's no filler garbage, a little goes a long way. This stuff actually works. tallow balm isn't just a moisturizer though it can replace your lotion your night cream your wrinkle cream even neosporin and diaper balm it's powerful enough to heal the skin yet safe enough to spread on your toast now that's real ingredients ready to ditch the corporate chemicals go to vanman.shop slash chrisley and use code chrisley for 15 off your first order.

You know, most parents aren't aware that 50% of kids suffer from hidden hunger. Hidden hunger comes from picky eating, processed snacks, or even a lack of nutrient-rich soil in the fruits and vegetables they eat. So if you have a picky eater or a kid who only wants to eat chicken nuggets, you're likely going to experience big emotions and frequent outbursts, trouble concentrating, and not being able to stay calm. The best way to support their mood and behavior is to give their brain the nutrients

It needs for healthy growth and development. That's why I'm obsessed with First Day Daily Multivitamins. It's one of the first brands with vitamins designed to fight hidden hunger and nutrient gaps. First Day makes clean science-backed multivitamins for kids, teens, and adults. And I actually have Chloe taking First Day Daily Multivitamin because I want to make sure that when she does make choices, that they're good choices. I love that First Day is extremely transparent about what goes into their products. No added sugar and no artificial ingredients. One thing I didn't realize at first is that vitamins shouldn't be one size fits all. Your nutritional needs change as you grow. And that's why I love First Day because they have age specific daily vitamins and they're trusted by over 1 million families. Clinically absorbable, family safe, actually effective.

to do right well and you can do that that is you are your own boss yeah then that's the way i want it. Right. But now the other day, Todd says, all right, now I'm going to be gone. And she said, how long? And he said, I'm just going to be gone for like two days. She said, that

ain't too long. When he comes in, he starts on this. What y'all been doing? Where'd y'all

go? It's like writing a book. Yeah. What are we going to eat for dinner? He said, oh, I

don't want that now sunday i cooked chicken and dumplings because that's what uh chase wanted me to do he said nanny i'm gonna be leaving i ain't got but two more days he said please make us some chicken dumplings i told julie i said julie i'm gonna make some chicken dumplings because they don't like to eat them in the summertime the house is cool so me and chase don't care right so we made i made the dumplings next thing she's cooking something for him But he was in the chicken and dumplings, too. Yes, he was. So I could have just avoided all that. That's what I'm saying. You're the one that created the monster. No, you created it. No, I cooked and put on the table what I had. Right. And he ate it.

Yeah. Yeah, he does have too many choices. Yeah. Well, but this is what he does. When he can't sleep at night, he sends me recipes or things he wants to try. not even recipes just pictures of things that he wants to try right and then he'll be like can we have that tomorrow literally what did i make that day i made oh i made him a meal after his workout which was brown rice black beans avocado so i made that for him then i made a cream cheesecake It was pretty good, right? Yeah, I loved it. It was something different. And I made a homemade whipped cream to go on top. And I washed and cleaned all of the berries and had those for the side. Then for dinner, he wanted these spinach and ricotta pastries. So I made those.

And then I made a tomato and cucumber salad to go with it. And then he was in your chicken and dumplings. So really, he ate that spinach pastry, but he really didn't want it because he had already eaten chicken and dumplings. But he wasn't going to tell me that because I had literally spent the whole day in the kitchen.

I know it. And I washed dishes all day. That's too much work for that little food. Yeah. So I blame you. cook don't Gene never knew what I was having

I cook I've given him too many options yeah that's exactly right but I do love to cook and I do love to try new things but he's getting a little carried away with it he needs to sleep instead of being up on social media all night and trying to

find a recipe trying to find something for me to cook anything that he sees looks good he's not going to eat it he's going to go right back to what he grew up doing

I know. I know. He does that. And then he finds all these products that he wants me to buy. He is like the poster child, like these companies, the people that they target. He is that person because literally, you know, I went to Target the other day and I come in. I had I had to go one other place to get something else. But there was like five or six different products that he wanted to try. Okay. And I'm like, okay. And then he doesn't even know what they are. He just sees them and he sees these ads and then he wants them. Right. One of them, y'all have oily skin, right? You have oily skin. He has oily skin. Why would you want me to buy a product for dry skin? I said, Todd, you've got this that you've sent me a picture of, because this is what he does. folks doesn't just click on it to buy it but he will screenshot it send it to me then i've got to do the research and find it right so i'm researching this product it's for dry skin i said why do you want this product for dry skin when you have oily skin oh well then i don't want that so he don't even he just wants it he just sees it it's a good story it's a good ad and he wants to buy it you

You know what I would do for him? I'd say, I don't have time to go to all these places to buy products for you and worry about trying to fix you something deep because I know it's something different than what I'm used to cooking. So either I go hunt products or I cook. So what do you want me to do? Because we can just be like you and use the own dish soap. That's exactly what I do. Nanny, that's awful. No, it isn't. Look at my skin. I've been doing it since dawn. You don't have to worry about it. Go get you a washcloth, put you some wet it, put you some dawn dish soap on, wash it. It don't take you all day. It takes the mascara off. It takes everything. Listen, they used it in the Gulf oil spill to clean the birds. It didn't kill them. And so it helped them. And so look at me. I've been using it 15, 20 years. I know, Nanny, but that's not really good for your skin to be doing that.

Well, it looks to me like it's done pretty good. I mean, your skin is pretty, but I just don't know that's the right thing to use. So I found all of his products, so he was happy. So he got fed, and he got his products. Now, ask me a week from now if he's used them products. Probably not.

No, well, you're the fool for going and doing it. Well, I got things to do. I cannot go buy pacifiers all day. to pacify you no i'm not doing that yet no well i just need you to step in and tell him okay well i will i mean i tell him all the time but then he says mama stay out of it no get in your lane yeah but he veered over into mine i'm trying to get him straightened out

the weather is heating up in nashville and i'm sure it is where you are too i mean i love the summer, but I really do hate to be hot. And nothing is worse than sleeping hot. Sheets stuck to your leg, hair matted to the back of your neck. Sometimes you have to just crank the AC down to 65 to feel human. Sleeping hot is miserable. You blame the thermostat, the mattress, even the person sleeping next to you. And trust me, I do that because he has a tendency to turn the AC up, not down.

Okay, I want to take a minute to share something really important to me. And that's Good Girl RX, a female-focused health and wellness company created by my daughter, Savannah. As women, we so often put everyone else first and ignore our own health, or we're just told to push through instead of being truly listened to. What I love about Good Girl RX is that it's built around real medical care and compassion. Through their telehealth platform, women can meet virtually with licensed medical providers who take the time to review your health history and goals. If it's clinically appropriate, your provider may discuss personalized treatment options, including GLP-1 medications like trizepatide, as well as wellness therapies such as NAD. Everything is determined by a doctor and tailored to the individual. As a mother, it means everything to me that this company was created to help women feel supported instead of judged. Everyone's journey is different, results vary, and not everyone qualifies. But having access to licensed physicians who truly listen can make all the difference. If you're ready to take a step toward prioritizing your health, visit goodgirlrx.com and use code CONFESSIONS15 for 15% off at checkout. Medical care is provided by licensed physicians.

guarantee speaking of very into lanes we almost had two wrecks on the way here i know that's why I told you. And it was not our fault. Two people came over on us this morning two different times, and we're not ten minutes from here.

Listen, that's the devil after you, and that's why I told you, you better slow down and get over near the wall so we can get there before somebody runs over. Listen, traffic's getting bad here. I know it.

I mean, it really is, but that was two almost accidents that happened to us.

Like they ran over us. Yeah, two of them. Made me grab my purse and holler. And you hollered. Nanny, whoo, oh, oh.

I said, I know. I don't know what, there wasn't even where I could go. But luckily, they didn't hit us. So that was a good thing.

Well, he's probably in a la-la land. Not paying attention. And that's what I tell everybody. I tell all of y'all, don't be trying to text. Don't be trying to look at Facebook. Pay attention. But they always say, Nanny, you don't know how to drive. And look at the speeding tickets. Look at all the stuff. Not me, not Nanny.

No, no. You might hit a curb every once in a while. Well, I'll straight out and get off that curb.

No, they'll say, Nanny drives 30 miles going down the interstate. Nope. But I tell them, that's why they make rules. Yeah. And you go by them. If they want you to go 85, then you go.

it'd say speed limit 85, speed limit 70. So now if you're going 72, 73, I'm not going to bitch about that much. Right. But if I'm going to fly down the interstate, I'm just going to the airport and get on a plane. Okay. I try to do better when I'm in the car with you because I know you are. I cannot stand it. I told Savannah I don't even want to ride with her. I said, Savannah, if you don't slow down, you can start putting me out. I'll call me an Uber. It was that bad? It's that bad. Well, they don't think it is. When the speed limit's 70 and you're doing 80, listen, I'm not planning on flying. If I had, I'd have went to the airport. Right. I got on a plane. And then I let the pilot take care of it. Right. Not over here. I don't ride with them. I can't. Right. I'd just rather stay home. Well, you know. Well, you don't want to stay home now. No, because I got a car, and I can drive. Yeah. I got to do me. You've been St. Louis two weekends in a row. We went once for a wedding party that was a lot of fun, and you got to gamble. I got to gamble. And then you went last weekend. With Amber. Yep. And Chris. With my niece. And got to gamble a little bit more. Yeah, have fun. Yeah. So tell me what you want to do this summer. What are your plans? What do you want to, I know you want to go back to South Carolina for a little bit. I'm going back to South Carolina for five or six weeks. I got things I got to do. Folks, when she says she's got things, she always has this huge list of things to do. But I don't always get them done. No, because she has somebody to go out to lunch with, somebody to go out to dinner with, somebody to go to the ice cream parlor with. Um, well, that's probably like the kids that we got to go places. It's like Randy said, mama, you're going to eat with me tonight? Who's picking you up? I said, well, if you want to cook, I just won't go with nobody tonight. Then I have my cousin. He gets mad if I go off with somebody else. He wants me to go with him and his girlfriend all the time. So they just, she just really goes to South Carolina to go out to eat. Well, I go socialize. I got a lot of friends in South Carolina. Yeah, okay. Just like I do everywhere. I go with everybody. Okay, so you're going to do that. Then I'm going to Fairhope, Alabama. Yeah, I think I might want to go there, too. I might want to go there for a few days. You know, I've heard great things about Fairhope, Alabama. Oh, it's great. Now, I'm not going to say it's the greatest, because I've been in a lot of good places. Right. But it's one of the choices. Okay. The people are great. But now, listen, nobody ever bothered me. They love me, and I love them. I love everybody. Your friend has a restaurant down there. He does.

So I want to go down there and go to the restaurant. They have a lot of good eating places. Yeah. And, you know, it's not very far from Biloxi. About 50 miles, 50, 60 miles. Yes. Yes. So you can go there. If you want to go to Pensacola to the Gulf Shores, the Gulf Shores is not about eight miles from my friend's place. Okay. So you can do that. You can just do whatever you want to. Okay. So I'm going there, and then I'm going to Massachusetts with my friends. Massachusetts, okay. And we're going to Connecticut to Foxfire. Yeah. And then we get to Gamalala in Massachusetts, and we're going to Rhode Island. Well, Nanny, your summer's, you're into the fall by now. I know it well. If it goes over into the fall, then I'll just keep on building it. But that'll be nice to go there. I've never spent much time in that part of the country. I have never been there. So I think it would be nice to go to the Northeast. See, there was some good friends that I met in Fairhope. So they're going to fly to Nashville. I'm getting on the plane with them in Nashville, and we're gone. Oh, okay, okay. So we already got the plans. Oh, well, that'll be good. Well, listen, then we've got to get this knee situated. I know. Listen, this thing's got to go. Yeah, because you don't have time for this. No, because I don't have no time for this foolishness. Because it slows me down a little bit. Right. And I can't walk as fast. Right. We spent some time in Texas. Got to go. We met some very nice people. Oh, yeah, I love it. The people there are so... But listen, you know, it's hard to say because, you know, I always say put forth an effort. Right. And then see what you get. So this is how nanny operates, too. So she says, when she moved to Atlanta, she didn't really, she was like, you know, I've had.

Happy in South Carolina. But then when she got there in Alpharetta, you loved it. Yeah, I did. Loved it. Then we said, okay, we're going to move to Nashville. I don't want to move to Nashville.

all these friends later i mean she's got them from a long time ago but she's developed a lot here recently well i'm never listen and keep in mind years ago she said you don't need friends to hell with a friend you don't need friends and now this one has more friends and you can shake a stick at well i didn't mean that i didn't you did

need friends but you know what when you're raising children yeah and you have a home yes and a job a job and i was working 12 and 16 hours every day i don't even know how i ever accomplished all that i did i work in all those hours taking care of three children yes and us working every day come home cook supper that's what randy said mama of all my growing up years no matter how many hours you worked eight hours 10 hours 12 hours or whatever you always come home and put a meal on the table but see i never asked nobody sometimes i'd say gene what would you like to have for dinner tonight now why would i say that because you're gonna cook whatever you

want to yeah maybe i i'm gonna try that and see how it works out but he never no he didn't care

no he didn't you ever hear him say no i don't like this no no he wouldn't and if i was having something that i know he didn't like everything i just cook him some cornbread he'd eat cornbread milk and he was fine he was good yeah todd didn't get that from him and your poor little savannah them they'll say nanny you made papa do everything i said your papa didn't do nothing to y'all come along he never changed a diaper he never fixed a bottle but when them grandbabies come along listen he do a lot and you know after we moved to atlanta i truly got to say he did a lot yeah Because now his job was vacuuming. His job was a lot of things. Right. Vacuum and dust. And he'd say, when I come back in, he'd say, well, I pledged and Windexed everything in the house. And, you know, he always unloaded the dishwasher. Always. That was his job. So, Todd, maybe it's coming later in life. Yeah, because you know Gene didn't do anything much. No. No. No. He cut the grass, kept the cars clean, but anything in the house, that wasn't his job. And one day, when I'm missing him so bad, I think about this. I don't know where I was going, but I had a few towels in the dry washing machine, and I said, he was sitting over there in his recliner, and I said, Gene, I said, when that machine stopped, do you mind putting those towels in the dryer? He said, oh, I guess you want me to take on that job now. But when I come back home, he had them dry, and he didn't fold them up like me, but he had them folded up. You remember that? Right, yeah. The thing over the machine where you had to fold up everything? Right. He had them folded up, and I went over there hugged him and thanked him but I never did tell him that I refolded him and put him in the linen

closet because he did his best right right now Todd will do laundry I'm not I'm not just gonna bash him today since it's just us he will do laundry and he don't mind doing laundry no and he'll always say well when I do the laundry the laundry room's clean but when he does the laundry that's all he does is laundry he's not cooking a meal he's not taking picking kids up from school you know none of that he's just doing laundry and i appreciate that but it's a difference

when you're being pulled in 50 different directions you know but you know i remember when him and randy and steph was growing she had they had chores to do every day and steph was little she had to windex and pledge every day because if she missed the The day of pledging, she'd get it tomorrow. Right. So that was her job from the time she was little. She did that. She was great at it. And I'd tell Todd, you know, I'd separate the house for things for them to do. And I said, this drawer better be cleaned out when I come home, you know, the junk drawer. And one day I came home, he had it clean, but he just took a trash bag and took the drawer out and dumped it all in the trash bag. That's the way he cleans. He throws everything away.

Throws it all away, right? Yeah. You can't leave it sitting around because he will throw it away, that's for sure.

And I think about, because they never really did anything bad, you know, like bad things they didn't. Right. But, you know, I always put stuff in the freezer every year, you know, from different people in the community, gardens, and I'd go by, and I had some peas, and I was working. and Gene and I told him I said when I get home those better be shelled. Well when I come home I had a little pot on the table. Well I knew I had more than that. Right. And I said where's those hulls at? They're out there in the trash. I go out there and they had them tied up. Half of my peas was in there so I brought them back in and I poured them out and I I made them separate the hulls and made them... You got your pees. I got my pees. Yeah. So they never did try that trick again. Yeah, no. See, kids will do anything if you let them.

Right.

But I wish they don't mind.

Yeah. That's a good thing. I didn't... You said this to me the other day. Julie, these kids and this laundry, they won't pick up. I've said it. I've said it so many times. the biggest disservice that I did my kids was not making them do you know like like when you know we lived in Atlanta you know I worked I had my real estate company and I took care of my kids I never had a nanny if my kids stayed with anybody it was y'all or it was my parents that was it and I thought okay but I had somebody helping the house that was there and Todd likes the house a certain way and it just makes our life better go smoother right when he walks in and everything's clean and nothing and nothing's out right so they grew up coming home from school every day or activities you know and their rooms were clean their beds were made every laundry was you know i did the laundry but still they didn't have those responsibilities and it really is where we failed them i mean because they know how to do it and they can do it they just don't they don't they

won't even put a salt and pepper shaker back in the cabinets i know it's bad it's really bad i

don't know what like these boys especially like when they have their own homes and their own families i don't know what they're going to do honestly i told chase that oh this pack this week

he went and made him a tomato sandwich and left it sitting out and you know where we keep the salt and pepper shaker it was over there on the bar I know he does not pick up nothing and they want none of them do laundry no they don't know how but they don't want to all they want to do is take showers and use towels put them in the laundry room change clothes four or five times a day Yeah, they're clean now. I got the cleanest kids in the world. But they dirty some laundry. And Grayson, Lord have mercy. Those machines are good because they've outlasted him. Right. Oh, gosh. And I would tell him. But if I could have caught them clothes before they got mixed up with what? Because they was none ever dirty. Right. Because he changed their four times a day. Right. You'd have folded them up and he wouldn't have never known it. And hung them back up and he wouldn't have never known it. But he got them all mixed up. Then I had to do laundry. I did laundry all day, every day.

I know. It's hard. It's hard. I don't know how people do it. I mean, maybe they're better than we were because it's just, it's so hard.

And they won't, if they get through, they won't even put a dish, rinse it out, put it in a dishwasher. They won't not say wash it, just rinse it out.

Yeah, the other day, Chase and Chloe were fighting about who was going to take the trash out.

Literally, you were sitting there. They were fighting, the two of them. And she told me the other morning, she said, I'm going to take this out, Nanny. Nanny, but I'm not going to take it out, but I'm going to take it out of this trash can.

And then I'm going to make Chase do it. Yeah. That tip for tat.

Yeah, he said, because he's lazy. He don't do anything. He wants me to do everything, and I'm not going to do it. She took it out, tied it up. Put it there at the end of the cabinet and put it over. And yesterday morning when she was getting ready, she said, who took the trash out? I said, Chase did. She said, well, he didn't even put a bag in the trash can.

So she went over there and got it. Those two are just, I mean, they are a mess with each other because they go back and forth and back and forth. And he's not going to do more than her and she's not going to do more than him.

And she said, I'm not going to. I said, would you take his clothes upstairs? No, Nanny, I'm not doing that. Right. I said, Chloe, that is your brother.

Take his stuff up there. Just, I'm not, no, I'm not doing that.

No, he needs to get his own stuff. That's what she says. He's not doing anything. Yeah. He needs to come and get his own stuff and take it up there. I said, well, then you go up there and tell him. And then they come down and start.

And then, I guess it keeps my blood going. Yeah, it does. Because I don't have high blood pressure. Right. So it kept it blowing pretty fast. Yeah.

It does. I believe that. I believe that. It gives you something to live for. Yeah. Because they always got something going on, that's for sure. And what gets me? Ain't no one of them wants to do laundry. They don't want to do nothing except what they want to do. You know, and I have this conversation with people all the time. that have children that are like young adults you know and they're I literally was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and I said oh because they had been kind of like on the fence where they were going to sell their house or you know get something else and she said you know Julie we keep going back and forth but these kids keep coming home like these grown kids keep coming back So how can I sell and get something smaller? I won't have anywhere to put them.

Well, like I told you, you're going to be a parent till the day you die.

Well, I know, but they're going to always come back. Lord, have mercy. It's like, I don't want you to come back with your laundry. Well, you're going to get it and all your stuff. But it's like Todd said, Todd said, Julie, we complain if they don't come home to see us. And then we complain if they're here too long. So, you know what? It is what it is.

But, you know, the sweetest thing was when Grayson went off to Alabama. And, you know, I stayed on him all the time. I took laundry. I washed it every day. And one day he was coming home and he called me and he said, What you doing, Nanny? I said, Nothing. And I don't know what all we was talking about. He said, I bought you something. I said, What did you buy me? I don't need anything. He said, you're going to love what I bought you. I said, what is it? He said, well, I said, where is it? He said, it's in the back of my truck. Well, now, I'm not dumb. I said, well, how many? Trash bags of clothes, you guys. He started laughing. He said, I got you about three trash bags full of clothes. Oh, my gosh. So he brought in three big bags of clothes. It took me two or three days to get all of them washed. You know, iron his little shirts that, you know, make them look good. It took me three days to get all that done with all else I was doing. But I thought it was kind of sweet. He got me some. He got you some. Yeah. And you're going to love it.

Yeah. Well, even, what was it, last night, Savannah calls and says, nanny what are you doing nothing uh you want to come over on thursday well you know what that means and help me do my laundry yeah help her do her laundry that means nanny will you come over and do my laundry for me yeah because she'll have but yeah that makes me that makes me feel good

really because you know that that's why i have such a good relationship with them i can pitch at them all I want to and that's not going to change. No, they're still going to call you. They're still going to come back. They're going to call me. And I told Grayson before he came home for his birthday, he called me and I said, well, I don't, I call you, but you don't ever answer. And I said, so I just figure you busy doing your thing. So I just don't want to bother you. He said, nanny i'm gonna do better than that i'm gonna call you every day okay but you know i hear from most of them every day right and i have to be thankful and blessed for that right and they

don't understand how blessed they are because you know there's some children that grow up and their grandparents live across the country or you know there's some grandparents that don't really you know they don't have close relationships with their grandchildren you know so they don't have that now my grandmother she was you know you knew her she was amazing like we stayed with my grandmother growing up my mother always worked so my granny kept us she my mother took us to school my granny picked us up we stayed with her till my mom got off work every day and like we grew up and even like after I was married and had Chase and Savannah and they were babies we would still go to my granny's on Sunday for lunch you know I mean and that is such a blessing and people don't

realize it you know and really grandparents that are really grandparents they might say something about doing something for them but they just do that because they really want to right it's like you know when I don't hear from one of them because I know they all working right They're out doing their own thing, and I give them a little bit of time, a day or two. Right. And if I hadn't heard from them in a day or two, I call them, and they will answer. Right. I got to say that. They will answer. Right. As I hadn't died yet. Oh, my goodness. Anyway, I can say what I want to to them. They don't get mad at me. Right. You don't have that fragile relationship, and that's good. That I have to walk around on eggshells. I can't comb my hair to go say something to them. No. I can say whatever I want to. And they just let it roll down their back.

Yeah, we kind of have that in our family. We're not, we kind of just say whatever we want to say, don't we? Yeah, and they don't know about it. And you can tell, sometimes people look at us, they'll be like.

Well, see, I can't. Because, see, I wouldn't know how to be the person that I am, Julie.

Now, you've always, y'all have always been that way. I remember when I first got in this family, I was like, what in the world is going on? They've just hollered and going on with each other. And I'm like, oh, my God. And I remember one time, then I was like, Todd, is your mom and daddy all right? And he said, what do you mean? I said, well, they all right. Everybody was just hollering and going on. He said, they go on. They in the car. They go on the casino. They good. And I'm over here, like, scared to death, like, oh, my God, what's going on?

We don't have to rub a piece of silk around us. You say what you want to. That's what I tell these. Now, listen, I've traveled a lot, met a lot of people my age and younger that's got grandchildren. And they'd say, Nanny, can I ask you something? I said, you can ask me anything. How in the world do you maintain such a good relationship with all those grandbabies? He said, we knew that we were good grandparents. We did for them. But when they got grown, we never hear from them. I said, well, what you need to do is call and cuss them out. That's what I said.

And that is the words of wisdom for today. If your grandkids, you don't hear from them, call and cuss them out. That'll just do it right there. Oh, gosh. Well, you know, maybe they need a wake-up call. Well, they might. They might. You might have to give them one. I'll give them one. Right. Right. Well, we've got one more day before Tari comes back home.

Well, we need to go do something then. So we'll have a little peace tonight, right? Well, you will act like he's bad, but he's not. No, he's not bad at all. No. He just aggravates us. No. because at least we ain't never had to worry about is he going to come home or is he going to stay out. No. No, that's something I have never had to worry about.

No, no.

He's pretty good. We're going to keep him around. And you know what he told me the other day? He said, Mama, you going to go to Cayman with us? I said, no. Yeah, you are. I said, no, I'm not going to Cayman. He said, yeah, Mama, you're going. And don't tell nobody that you don't like it. I said, Todd, it's one of the most beautiful places, one of the prettiest places I've been. But there's nothing for me to do except to eat and sleep, and I'm not doing that.

Right, right. There's no casino. Now, if there was a casino there, it should be ready. Bahamas, you're all about it.

Yeah, me and Grayson's going. You are? Okay. Me and Grayson. Y'all going to Bahamas? Going to Bahamas. All right, yeah. Now, I'm all for that.

Yes.

We'll go tomorrow if he can. when i get through my surgery we'll be on the plane she's gonna be ready to go yeah well maybe

that's what we'll do when you get through with your surgery and your rehab on your knee and you're ready to go that's what we'll do we'll hop on a plane and go to the bahamas he said

nee i can't wait see he can't gamble here he's just 20 right and uh he said we can go to bahamas So he said, I said, well, I ain't got my passport, but I got it now. Yeah. So me and him, we don't have no reason. You're ready to go. No. You're ready to go. We'll try to see if we can get on that plane and it don't take long to go. No. We'll have us a bunch of fun. Right.

So we can all just live our lives vicariously through nanny. That's it. That's what we're going to do.

Yeah, just get up, look in the mirror, and thank God that he let you get up. That's right, Nanny. I'm going to try to have your positive attitude. And say there's nothing going to come our way today that you and I can't handle. That's right. That's right. And I'm going to go... What more do you need? I don't need anything else. I'm going to brush my teeth. I'm going to come in there and make me some coffee. And start your day. Start my day. All right. well let's go get on with the rest of our day thank you for being here with me i can always count on you i love it all right and we will um we'll do it again we might let todd join us the next time but well i enjoyed being on it i hope y'all enjoy it and i love everyone i know you do so until next week good luck and god bless at first i didn't think it was real i woke up to
