Todd Chrisley
Welcome to Chrisley Confessions 2.0. How are you today? It's been a rough morning, so let's just kind of start recapping that.
Julie Chrisley
Tuesdays are like jinx. Jinx. Yeah.
Todd Chrisley
I don't think they're jinxed. I just think that we're jinxed. I don't think it's a day of the week. I think that we are jinxed because when you and I want to say this to the camera, to all the parents out there raising adult children, and I say adult because the government says that past 18 they're considered an adult. But at 25 and 27 and 28, I find that I'm still wiping adults ass.
Julie Chrisley
What are you talking about? We talking about 30?
Todd Chrisley
Well, she just now gave up the identity of the one whose ass I had to wipe this morning. But I think that it is for me, it becomes so frustrating because I feel like that I have fought to get to where I am today and that you and I have a peaceful coexistence.
Julie Chrisley
We do. But then you. This morning, I'm minding my own business. I got up in plenty of time. I knew we were recording multiple episodes of the podcast today, so I got up so I wouldn't have to rush. Minding my own business.
Todd Chrisley
That's a luxury. Just so not to cut you off.
Julie Chrisley
But you did. And so literally you. Chase didn't answer your phone. Let's just go and put it out there. He didn't answer the phone. He knew he was supposed to be ready to do something at 9 o' clock this morning, right?
Todd Chrisley
Yep.
Julie Chrisley
He didn't answer the phone. Didn't answer the phone. So every time that you look at your phone and you don't see A response or he hasn't called you, your blood just starts boiling. I can see it. But, folks, for any of you who have been with someone for any amount of time, guess who gets the brunt of that frustration?
Todd Chrisley
Well, you gave birth to him.
Julie Chrisley
Me. Me. So then he starts hollering at me.
Todd Chrisley
I'm like, I did not. That's not what. That's not what happened.
Julie Chrisley
Okay?
Todd Chrisley
I.
Julie Chrisley
He was already up here. So I know when he's already up here. I'm not going to engage with you. Like, I'm going to let you just do whatever you're going to do. But why should I get into it with. I'm just, like, quiet. So then he says, well, what are you going to say to your son when he calls?
Todd Chrisley
No, no, no, that's not.
Julie Chrisley
Okay.
Todd Chrisley
No, Faye, you're not going to switch it.
Julie Chrisley
Go ahead.
Todd Chrisley
I am minding my own business because it's my business. I'm minding it. I should not have to be. As I told my mother this morning, as. Because everyone knows that Nanny Faye is going to stick her nose in where it's never wanted. She said, it's your children. You don't get to determine when you're going to be a parent. When you're not. You don't get to turn it off. I don't care how old they are. I said, just because they are my children doesn't mean I babysit for the rest of my life. If you're going to sit here and say, I'm grown, stay in your lane. I'm an adult. I can handle my business. I need you to handle your business. If you want me to stay in my lane, make sure your lane stays clear, and you don't have a need for me to get in it. This morning, we were. Because I'm not going to do this whole bullshit of, you know, everything is all good and great, and we're all doing all that. Everybody's doing what the hell they're supposed to be doing. That's just not the case in any family, and it's certainly not the case in ours. Chase moved into a new house. We are giving him all the furniture from our house because we're. We're buying all new stuff and redoing things and whatever to keep a house here in Nashville and then what we do in Texas. So the goal was to sell the home that we're in, leave Nashville. You made the decision. No, I want to keep a home here. So over the course of this decision, which just occurred in the last. What Would you say four weeks?
Julie Chrisley
Month maybe.
Todd Chrisley
Yeah, four weeks. This was dropped on me. So then I contact the architect and say, okay, come in, make the changes that she wants. We're going to redo everything, this will be our lock and leave and we'll be at peace because it's the first time we will have ever been able to have done that.
Product Sponsor Announcer
Right?
Todd Chrisley
So Chase goes out here and gets him a house. I said, you can have everything that's in our house goes to your house. The movers came and picked up all the stuff from our house so they can get started on the construction, puts it in storage. We did all this before Chase got his house?
Julie Chrisley
Yes. Yeah.
Todd Chrisley
So when I told Chase he could have everything in our house. Oh great, dad. Thank you, daddy. From a grown ass 30 year old man. And I said the plan was, when I went to bed last night, he had already called me. Last week. Yeah, when can, when can I get the stuff that came out of your house?
Julie Chrisley
Right?
Todd Chrisley
I said, let me call the storage place, find out when they can, you know, do whatever they got to do. You did you, I think you're the one who handled that, right? Or did I end up you did it.
Julie Chrisley
Okay, So I, because I didn't even know.
Todd Chrisley
Oh, that's right, because Zach's the one who called me and gave me the information. So I contacted the folks and that's it. They said, when would you like for us to bring it out? I said, they said, is Tuesday fine? I said, yes, I go to bed last night. Why should this even be on my mind, right? I'm giving you a house full of furniture, right? You're paying me nothing for something that I worked to pay for. So why should I go to bed at night the night before? You're supposed to receive this stuff and have to be worrying about whether or not you are going to be able to get it. Because yesterday he dropped, oh, I'm going to be out of town on tomorrow. I've got business. I mean, like the fuck, he's Elon Musk, okay?
Julie Chrisley
But stop being so ugly, so angry.
Todd Chrisley
I should be able to go to bed in my house, in the one bed I still got and have peace. I should not have to get up at 7 o' clock in the morning and have a text message from the mover confirming that they're going to be there at 9 o'.
Commercial Announcer
Clock.
Todd Chrisley
Right now they're bringing the stuff back to our house. I don't need it back to our house. I then start messaging her son, because today I'm not taking ownership. Sent a text message. I need to know that you've got this stuff arranged. This is what's happened. You better be at 9 o'.
Julie Chrisley
Clock.
Todd Chrisley
This is when the stuff's supposed to be delivered. No response. Elon was still resting, I'm sure, so. I don't ever leave the house before I'm dressed, do I?
Julie Chrisley
No.
Todd Chrisley
I was so worked up over this, I threw a ball cap on and went to Starbucks, folks. I got this. Pulled me out of my element for people to see me without being showered. I get in my car, I'm driving, I'm listening to my music, I'm trying to calm down. And the longer it takes for me to get a response, as a grown man should be doing, the more pissed I get. 7:15, no response. 7:30, no response. Then I call Julie. You don't ever get an answer from her because she treats a cell phone like it's a wall phone. Because when you call her, oh, I didn't have my phone with.
Julie Chrisley
No, no, no, no.
Todd Chrisley
That's every excuse you have. I don't know where my phone is this morning.
Julie Chrisley
What did I say? I was getting out of the shower. I'm sorry, I don't take the phone in the shower.
Todd Chrisley
Oh, now he wants to respond to my text message. While I'm doing this podcast, I don't
Julie Chrisley
take the phone in the shower with me. So I'm sorry that I missed your call and I called you back 30 seconds afterwards.
Todd Chrisley
How many phone calls do you miss from people today?
Julie Chrisley
Because guess what, Todd, I'm doing other stuff. I don't walk around with my phone
Todd Chrisley
cuz it's attached to the wall.
Julie Chrisley
No, but then if I'm cooking, if I'm doing laundry.
Todd Chrisley
Is this a mobile cellular device?
Julie Chrisley
It is.
Todd Chrisley
When it says mobile, what does that mean? But no, no, what does it mean? We're going to do a lesson here today.
Julie Chrisley
No, we're not doing.
Todd Chrisley
Because this is going to help somebody else who's got a wife like this. If it says mobile device, what does that mean? Yeah, means go travels anywhere you want to go. If I go to take a. I got my phone. If I'm laying up in my bed wanting to look at something, it's in my hand.
Julie Chrisley
Okay, but that's you.
Todd Chrisley
But yet if I'm.
Julie Chrisley
If I'm washing clothes and folding laundry.
Todd Chrisley
You're not beating clothes on a river rock.
Julie Chrisley
I didn't say I was. But if I'm busy, I'm not. Got my phone in my hand.
Todd Chrisley
You're not that busy. You are not busier than what I am.
Julie Chrisley
Okay, okay. We're different kind of busy.
Todd Chrisley
You're kind of busiest.
Julie Chrisley
Hey, Josie.
Todd Chrisley
How are you? Hold on, let me call. Get Shawna on the phone. Hold on a second, honey. I made these cookies. Oh, that's Ta. Anyway, I'm going to tell you about these cookies I made. That's what I deal with. And then I left to deal with all of these kids who are blowing everybody. Where's Mom? Why is mom not answering her phone? Is that what I deal with?
Julie Chrisley
Mom's making cookies for dad.
Todd Chrisley
No, you're on the phone with Josie. You're on the phone with Shawna. You're on the phone with all of her friends that she made in Kentucky who are now more important than her husband.
Julie Chrisley
That is not true.
Todd Chrisley
And her children.
Julie Chrisley
That is not true, Todd.
Todd Chrisley
So we are wrong. We are going to run an auction. We're starting opening bids next week to auction her off. Going back. And yes, I'll take low bids. So you do not have to worry about her being on her phone all the time, taking your calls. She will be on the phone with her friends, Josie and Shawn. But at any rate, she. I try to call Julie. She doesn't respond. I then in time, in that second, or as she says, it was a second, I get, no, he's.
Julie Chrisley
He's now questioning. He's calling in.
Todd Chrisley
I get another phone call.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
Me.
Todd Chrisley
That is business. I'm on that call. She beeps in. I send her the voicemail. When I finish that call, I call her and say, is Mama up? Because I start worrying about Mama sleeping late because I don't. You know, they say that's a sign that time's drawing near if you're laying up in the bed. But I know that's not true because Julie's still living. But at any rate, you. You said to me, no, she's still asleep. Very cryptic like. And I'm like, thinking, well, should you go in there and see if she's breathing? So I said, go find. Nevermind. I'm gonna go by and get her some coffee, get her her egg McMuffin, bring it home. And Judah said, well, when you get home, you need to make sure that she gets up. Go in there. She's still Mama.
Commercial Announcer
What?
Todd Chrisley
Why are you still. I'm not. I've been up since five. No, hell, you hadn't. I came down the stairs at 6:15 and you. But she never sleeps. For somebody that snores non stop, she never sleeps. Just like Julie.
Product Sponsor Announcer
Okay, I don't know about you, but nothing is worse than trying to sleep in the heat. I mean, sheets get stuck to your legs, your hair's matted to the back of your neck, you're cranking the AC down as far as it'll go. It's miserable. You blame the thermostat, the mattress, even the person sleeping next to you. But it's none of that. It's your bedding. Wrong sheets Trapeat bowl and branch is the cool side of the pillow.

Bowl and Branch Everyone is talking about lymphatic drainage lately. I mean, I'm not going to lie. I have used expensive lymphatic drainage massages. I have used ice rollers. I have done everything that I know to debloat. At first it kind of sounds like another random wellness trend, but then you realize a lot of people are dealing with the same thing. And I know I am definitely dealing with all of these puffiness, swelling, heavy, sluggish feelings, stiffness. But that's why I'm obsessed with the Life Pro Waver vibration plate. I was so happy when I got this in the mail. I kept seeing people using vibration plates online and honestly thought it looks kind of ridiculous at first. But once I understood how it works, it made total sense. Your lymphatic system has no pump. It only works when your body moves. The wellness world is charging hundreds of dollars for manual lymphatic Dr. Drainage sessions. This is a one time investment that does the same thing in the privacy of your home anytime you want. And it's not Just theory. Clinical studies have shown that vibration therapy made manual lymphatic drainage work better. It's not just some random wellness trend. There's actual science behind why it works. You know, you can use it after a workout. You can use it while watching tv. A lot of people do it first thing in the morning. But the Life Pro Waver actually feels stable, powerful and premium. It is America's number one vibration plate brand. Over 2.5 million people have already been using Life Pro and there's a risk free 30 day return. They even offer a lifetime warranty so you know they stand behind their product for a limited time. Our listeners can get $20 off the waver vibration plate plus free shipping with code CHRISLEY@lifeprofitness.com that's lifeprofitness.com and use code CHRYSLEY for $20 off. After you purchase, they'll ask where you heard about them. Please support our show and let them know we sent you.

Todd Chrisley
So I get her up, make sure she gets her coffee, then I go because Judy has now told me, todd, we've got three podcasts we have to do today. She'd already told me this five times this week, folks. It's Tuesday that she's told me. We got these three podcasts. I'm not like Julie. I don't have to be reminded a million times. And what did I say to you when you say it? When I'm coming in the bathroom free balling it, I'm standing there buck ass naked and I say it. You said she's putting on her makeup with these big cylinders up in her head. You know, we have three, we have three podcasts that we're doing today. I looked at you and said, how many more times are you going to tell me that my name is not Julie? Is that not what was said?
Julie Chrisley
Keep in mind, folks, earlier in the morning I had said, well, we have to be there at 10. Well, why don't we have to be there at 10?
Todd Chrisley
No, no, no, we don't record 10. That was not early morning. That was When I was on the phone pulling in the McDonald's parking lot. See, my mind tracks, okay?
Julie Chrisley
It was earlier than what you're talking to.
Todd Chrisley
And so.
Julie Chrisley
So he forgot.
Todd Chrisley
I did not know my podcast times at 11 o', clock, but because we're shooting multiple episodes, it was moved up to 10. Yeah, no one told me 10.
Julie Chrisley
Okay.
Todd Chrisley
They want to just roll the talent in and suck every ounce of life that I've got in me to carry 15 shows at any rate, I'm standing there and I said, julie, you've told me this five times, have you not? Okay, Todd. Okay. I get in the shower, get out of the shower. I said, has he responded? No, he hadn't responded. And she says, what do. He'll be calling me if you're not taking his calls. What do you want me to say? That would have been your response, which gets nothing accomplished.
Julie Chrisley
Well, obviously you hollering and screaming don't either.
Todd Chrisley
I am not talking to anyone else today. Oh my God.
Julie Chrisley
If it is not, he's going to be.
Todd Chrisley
If it is not someone that is generating money for me. That is a deal that I'm working on. You will not get a call from me today. I am not allowing anyone to interrupt my peace. Not going to do it. I said this a year ago. I'm living by it today. Grown ass children that make grown ass decisions get to suffer grown ass consequences. So don't come and tell me I'm grown. Why are you asking me that? That's being invasive. That's intrusive upon my life. That's private. You get to have as much privacy as you can afford. Don't sit here when I'm asking you a question, say that's private. When you asking me to pay for something, do I mean, do you agree with that? I mean, at the end of the day when you as a parent of our age, adult children should look at their parents as somewhat of an equal when it comes to being an adult. That this is another adult that I'm dealing with. Okay, so I should treat this. You should never treat your parents with less respect than you treat a stranger on the street.
Julie Chrisley
Absolutely.
Todd Chrisley
So you would not go up to a stranger on the street and say, hey, can you give me all the furniture in your house and I need you to arrange for the movers to bring it to my house and set it up. Would you do that?
Julie Chrisley
No.
Todd Chrisley
You wouldn't go up to a stranger on the street and say, hey, do you have an extra chair in your house? Can I have it?
Julie Chrisley
Would you I know, but it goes back to entitlement. It does go back to entitlement. And also sometimes the people that we love the most get shouldered with the brunt of frustration.
Todd Chrisley
I need to be loved less. I need to be loved less. As I said to my mother this morning. And folks, this is coming in hot off the presses. Y' all are getting this real time, correct?
Julie Chrisley
Yes.
Todd Chrisley
I am no longer willing to shoulder the burden of adult children. That doesn't mean that I don't love my children. That doesn't mean that if there is a true need to. That they have not done everything they can do to fix this problem before they came to me. That I won't help. But I need you to exhaust all avenues before you ask.
Julie Chrisley
That's the problem. That is absolutely the problem. And literally this just goes to show you how, like, I was preparing for this podcast yesterday, and literally one of the things that I had questions Are we raising resilient kids or comfortable kids?
Todd Chrisley
We have, literally, you and I have raised anyone who has children that needs to be trained in comfort, send them our way. And an 82 year old mother who's extremely comfortable.
Good Girl Rx Announcer
We're not going to.
Todd Chrisley
As she said to me today, I said, I'm going to hell to Texas and I'm going to leave y' all with all of it. And what did she start doing? She's always in the boat with Julie and these kids. What was she doing this morning? Uh, you're not leaving me. I'm going with you. So she was smart enough to get her together and latch on here. She wasn't staying with y' all because she knows if I cut y' all off, she's screwed. So she's not going down with the ship. So Nanny Faye today showed that she is not a true ride and die. Cause she just jumped ship this morning. Now, is there anything that I said that you disagree with or that is not accurate?
Julie Chrisley
No, honey.
Todd Chrisley
So, no, no, no, you're right. I'm going to do the passive. You know, we all inherit traits from our parents, and Julie has inherited the trait of her father, Harvey. That's why I call her Harvett. Because it's that passive aggressiveness.
Julie Chrisley
I'm not going to argue with you.
Todd Chrisley
Is there anything I said that's a lie?
Julie Chrisley
No, there's not.
Todd Chrisley
So then everything I said is the truth?
Julie Chrisley
Yes.
Todd Chrisley
Okay. And so I need to understand why you feel that. That I should shoulder the burden of our adult child.
Julie Chrisley
I don't. I don't.
Todd Chrisley
Do you feel that I Have a right to be upset.
Julie Chrisley
Yes. I don't know why he wouldn't have answered the phone this morning. I don't know why, when he knew he had something to do that he wouldn't have been up and been ready. But I can't control that. You want to say, oh, he's your. He's your kid now. He's your child now. I can't control him any more than you can.
Todd Chrisley
I don't here's.
Julie Chrisley
But it becomes my fault when he
Todd Chrisley
doesn't do what he's supposed to do. We need to change that term, the control. We have no control over our adult children. No adult children. Adult situations in life, adult consequences. What I'm saying to you is, is that we get to decide that this next chapter of our life that we're building now, our home, our cars, our resources are ours. They belong to us. If I don't spend everything that I have, because I plan to live to be 120. So if I don't spend everything I have by the time I'm 120, they can have it. But I no longer am going to sit on my ass and sit at home and worry about whether or not I should go buy this or I'm going to save this because I want the kids to have an extra $10,000. Not doing that anymore. So my. My thing with you is, is that you have to be at a place to where you can say, son, I love you, but I'm not signing on for that. Okay, so.
Julie Chrisley
And this morning he did exactly what I said he was going to do. When you didn't take his call, he called me.
Todd Chrisley
And how did that go?
Julie Chrisley
I said, what are you doing? You know good and well that furniture was being delivered. And had you answered your phone, you would know that your father has already got it lined up and it's going to be dropped off to your house. But you would have had to answer your phone to know that.
Todd Chrisley
And what was the response?
Julie Chrisley
You're right, Mom. I'm sorry.

But I have to tell you, I actually went to the Jones Road beauty store here in Nashville because I wanted to see all their products in person. And when I tell you, I was so impressed, even more so. I mean, you know I've talked about that. I hate how that heavy caked on look looks. So I'm going to tell you what I actually got this time. I got their rich eye cream, I got their light moisture cream, I got their skin foundation stick and the blushing stick and I absolutely love all of it. You know that I've talked about the miracle balm. It replaces so, so many steps. So sometimes I use it as a highlighter, as a bronzer, as a blush, as a lip tint. You know, I love that you're able to get an effortless glowy look in under 60 seconds. I also love that Jones Road beauty is packed with skin loving ingredients. It nourishes your skin instead of clogging or caking. It looks and feels neutral like you're not wearing makeup at all. And all Jones Road formulas are completely clean and high performing.

All I'm saying is, is that a parent should not have to be stressed out every second of every day by children that claim to be grown.
Julie Chrisley
And, but, and I agree, I agree 100%. But people, acquaintances, friends, whatever, people that you talk to, that, that you have like true, authentic relationships with, that have adult children, is it not always something. We're not in this boat by ourselves. I feel like everybody that I know that has adult kids, they all deal with some just version of crap that we do.
Todd Chrisley
No, but you, you understand, and I know who you're talking about, but you understand that all the people that I talk to that's got kids like ours did the same shit we did.
Product Sponsor Announcer
Right.
Todd Chrisley
Which was gift, gift, gift, gift, gift.
Julie Chrisley
Right? Oh, I know.
Todd Chrisley
So what I'm trying to say is
Julie Chrisley
you're trying to prevent these young parents that are listening not to make the same mistakes we have.
Todd Chrisley
Exactly. And I, and you know yourself, when people, when people message me or when they stop us in public, you know what advice. I just had my baby. What's the best advice you could give? What do I tell them?
Julie Chrisley
Don't give.
Todd Chrisley
Thank you. You give. You are, as a repent, as a parent, you're required to love your child. Hopefully that comes naturally. To keep them safe, to teach them about the Lord, to educate them, to clothe them and feed them. That's your requirements. Anything beyond that is not a requirement. That's a want. And there is a different from a need and a want.
Julie Chrisley
Yeah. And I think that's where the lines have gotten blurred.
Todd Chrisley
That's right.
Julie Chrisley
People think that needs and wants are the same thing or that their wants are their needs. No, it's not.
Todd Chrisley
And so the point that I'm trying to make today is, is that I am no longer going to continue doing that because that didn't work. Which is why I'm on here bitching
Julie Chrisley
this morning about giving your son a whole house full of furniture.
Todd Chrisley
If I hadn't have given it to him, you would have given him cash to go do it.
Julie Chrisley
Oh, see, why do you always turn it around on me?
Todd Chrisley
Cuz, you know you would have.
Julie Chrisley
No, I wouldn't have.
Todd Chrisley
Julie.
Julie Chrisley
No, I wouldn't have.
Todd Chrisley
You literally start.
Julie Chrisley
We had to do. We didn't have nobody bringing it in the front door.
Todd Chrisley
No, we sure didn't. You know, you had somebody bring it in the front door. I was bringing in the front and you was at the back door. My daddy used to say, if you got a woman that sends it out the back door as fast as you can bring it in the front, it's downhill business.
Julie Chrisley
Son, you better hush. He wasn't talking about me because he loved me. So I don't care what you say.
Todd Chrisley
So, yeah, I was giving him all that furniture, but you didn't want it anyway.
Julie Chrisley
Okay?
Todd Chrisley
Okay, so.
Julie Chrisley
So, folks, this will be a conversation that continues on.
Todd Chrisley
No, it's not, folks, because I'm not going to continue having it as he
Julie Chrisley
had it delivered to him this morning.
Todd Chrisley
Okay, next. Go on. What's the next shit in your papers? Because I know it's some stupid questions you're gonna be asking. Go on.
Julie Chrisley
Okay.
Todd Chrisley
Don't give me no pop stuff, because I don't know it.
Julie Chrisley
Well, I think it was interesting, you know, Angelina Jolie did an interview and that she said she has not dated since her split from Brad Pitt a decade ago.
Todd Chrisley
Well, she's running the United Nations.
Julie Chrisley
Well, maybe so, but I mean, she's
Todd Chrisley
gone and got adopted a kid from every continent.
Julie Chrisley
Somebody that looks like Angelina Jolie. I mean, that, you know, if she doesn't.
Todd Chrisley
But you know how I feel about that. Why are you sitting here baiting me up? Because you know that's never been my thing, right. When that whole. What was it? Smith and Ms. Smith or Miss.
Julie Chrisley
Mister. Ms. Smith.
Todd Chrisley
Mr. And Ms. Smith. You know, that's when that whole thing went down.
Julie Chrisley
Yeah.
Todd Chrisley
I have always. You know that Jennifer's always been my girl.
Product Sponsor Announcer
Right?
Todd Chrisley
And so when he cheated on Jennifer with Angelina, I didn't see that because I've always.
Julie Chrisley
I think she's a beautiful woman.
Todd Chrisley
Like, I think she's. She's not my type, but for a lot of people, she's gorgeous and I think she's a pretty woman. Yeah, but. And her mother was a beautiful woman. Yep, but. But not my type. Jennifer's my type.
Julie Chrisley
Right.
Todd Chrisley
And so I never was. I don't ever look at, like, oh, my God.
Julie Chrisley
But 10 years. She's not dated, but that's.
Todd Chrisley
That's someone else's version of that. We don't know what her bedroom.
Julie Chrisley
Well, she said it. She did an interview.
Todd Chrisley
She said she's not dated. That doesn't mean she hadn't had a booty call. Well, no one goes without without 10 years unless it is someone that is deeply, deeply disturbed.
Julie Chrisley
She did a new interview. So she's playing a filmmaker with breast cancer. It's a new film called Couture. And she plays this Maxine Walker, filmmaker who encounters a romantic partner in Paris around the time of her breast cancer diagnosis. And she said that this role has actually made her reassess her approach to her personal life, you know, because she lost her own mother. Breast cancer in 2000, complications from ovarian and breast cancer in 2007. And then she underwent a preventative double mistake to me, because she carries the BRCA gene. So she has said that this role is literally, like, making her reassess that along with her daughters. She said her daughters are now like, mom, you need to be happy. Like, you need to find someone you. You know. So we'll see who Angelina might end up with.
Todd Chrisley
Well, I'm sure you'll keep me posted.
Julie Chrisley
I will keep you posted. Because I think that's interesting.
Todd Chrisley
Not that I care. I want to know. But you will tell me. Yeah, I will tell you.
Julie Chrisley
But you know what? Another little tidbit. She and Brad Pitt are still fighting 10 years after their divorce, battling over that Chateau Miraval.
Todd Chrisley
See, I'm more interested in your assets, not what you got going on in your bedroom.
Julie Chrisley
Still fighting 10 years later about it.
Todd Chrisley
Yeah, God bless them.
Julie Chrisley
But you know that's crazy, right? Ten years, the two of them. Can you imagine what they've spent in legal fees fighting for 10 years about it? You would think they would just come together and be like, okay, let's.
Todd Chrisley
I did see where she's selling her home that belonged to the. He was the founder of mgm.
Julie Chrisley
I don't know. But recently, there was something that happened in the courts, and it was considered a win for him. So I don't know if. If, you know, if the case is moving forward or whatever that they're fighting over. But I'm just thinking, how stupid is that? Because 10 years, nobody's winning but the attorneys, let's face it, right? Nobody.
Todd Chrisley
Right?
Product Sponsor Announcer
Yeah.
Julie Chrisley
That was my little tidbit of pop culture.
Todd Chrisley
Okay, good.
Product Sponsor Announcer
Yeah.
Todd Chrisley
Didn't Last long.
Julie Chrisley
Well, those were two big things, though. Like, those are really big things.
Todd Chrisley
Well, you know, as we've talked about on this podcast before, if there's something negative going on in life, you're going to tell me about it.
Julie Chrisley
That's not true.
Todd Chrisley
It is. We went to sit down to have dinner. Yes.
Julie Chrisley
And I caught myself.
Todd Chrisley
See, she's already going to catch me before I can tell this story because it was.
Julie Chrisley
It was a horrible tragedy. The. Listen, we all need to keep the people from Venezuela in our prayers.
Todd Chrisley
And I'm sitting at the counter. My food had just been put in front of me. She sits down beside me, and we're eating. And she goes, did I tell you about what happened in Nevermind. I looked her and I said, if you tell me about that football player and his family from Venezuela, I says, I'm walking out. And you just stopped. I don't know what it is. I think that. That there's something, that there's a disease that people have that they want to deliver that bad news. You should work for a funeral home. That's where you need to go. You should work as a director of a funeral home because you don't have a problem in delivering bad news.
Julie Chrisley
That's not true.
Todd Chrisley
I'm getting you a funeral home. If Phaedra Parks can do it, you can.
Julie Chrisley
I don't. I don't want that.
Todd Chrisley
You and Phaedra can be the ebony and ivory of the funeral home.
Julie Chrisley
That's not what I want to do. Thank you. But I. I'm good without it. I live without it. 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 GLP1 medications like tirzepatide, 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.

Todd Chrisley
So what else you got in your papers?
Julie Chrisley
Well, you know, I think it's interesting that, you know, people are coming to the United States this summer because of this World cup, the soccer tournament. I'm sure you probably don't know anything
Todd Chrisley
about it, but I don't know a
Julie Chrisley
lot, but it has been on the news how all these people are coming to America this summer, spending time here and being like, oh my gosh, we love America. We love it. It's beautiful, it's clean, it's clean. It's relatively safe. It's all these things and things that we just take for granted and that there's so many people right now, especially that just want to dog the United States of America and have nothing like even remotely kind or nice to say about it. But you got people coming from all over. I mean, and I mean, we're guilty. You know, you always hear people when they go to other places. Oh my gosh, Paris is beautiful. Oh my gosh, Italy's beautiful. Oh my gosh, this is that. But now we're getting that people coming to the United States and being like, oh my gosh, why are you guys not just jumping for joy? You know, And I think people lose sight of really how good we have it in the United States. I understand there are people that are struggling, there are people that don't have that, whatever. But just as a whole, the United States compared to these other third world countries that people are coming from, this is like paradise.
Todd Chrisley
We were just in the Caymans for a week and, and I love the Caymans. It's, it's our home away from home. And we have started looking for a place, you know, for us to. And I say us, I said to Julie, I said, let's buy us just a condo, three bedroom condo. Well, that's now off the table because we're never going to be able to have Just a three bedroom condo. But what did I say to you when we got back home?
Julie Chrisley
It feels so good to be home.
Todd Chrisley
And that I have everything I need in this. In the States, in the United States of America. I have everything I need.
Julie Chrisley
Yes.
Todd Chrisley
So if you want to be on the water, I need you to find something in Florida that allows it. That allows me to stay in the culture that I'm comfortable with, the Americanized culture that allows us to have access to everything that we're used to having access to.
Julie Chrisley
Right.
Todd Chrisley
Cayman's is amazing and we've been there for 20 years. But it's.
Julie Chrisley
You're just a homebody anyway. You just like being home.
Todd Chrisley
I like the food that I like. I like my own surroundings. And if. And we've had homes, we've had homes all over. And I don't have a problem going from one location to the next as long as it's my stuff, right? Yeah, but I don't like being.
Julie Chrisley
You're very territorial. Yes. You like your.
Product Sponsor Announcer
Your.
Todd Chrisley
I like familiar.
Julie Chrisley
Yes.
Todd Chrisley
I don't know that it's territorial because you can't be territorial. There's no way I would not be alive if I. If I was territorial.
Julie Chrisley
Speaking of this, folks, we've got to talk about the missing candle.
Todd Chrisley
See, she could not told you there's people's got a disease that has to bring up negative shit. I only have candles in my home that are made by Diptyque. I don't go shop. I say to you, Julie, we're running low on this one. We're running low on this one. Please place an order. But I happen to be in the mall coming from Gucci. And I called Savannah and I said, savannah, didn't you say there's a Diptyque in the mall? She said, yes. I says, where is it? She said, where are you? I said, I just left Gucci. She said, go like you're going to Nordstrom. She says, if you're on the top floor, it's going to look to the right of Nordstrom.
Julie Chrisley
Right.
Todd Chrisley
So as I walk, I said, yep, I see it. Thank you. I hung up. Now, folks, I think I'm doing something good because I'm thinking, okay, I'm already here. I'll go do this. So Julie doesn't have to order. Now, for those of you who may not know what Diptyque is, Diptyque is a very expensive candle and the fragrance is unlike any that you have ever experienced. But we do two different fragrances. We do roses.
Julie Chrisley
Was it roses and bay or Roses and tubero.
Todd Chrisley
Tubero rose, I think, is the same thing.
Julie Chrisley
It's not two different ones.
Todd Chrisley
Anyway, we do bay and whatever the rose thing is, and we burn them at the same time. And the fragrances are just amazing. So I go in. These two candles are like 500 and something dollars, almost $600. And they were the only two that we were low on. So I go in and I get these two that we're low on. I come home, I'm still like, this is one of these days. I'm, like, getting a lot of stuff done. I come in, I unbox these two. I put one in the front hall, then I put one upstairs in the bedroom because the fragrances are going to go up and down. I leave to go to the Caymans, and I leave my son access to my. My house, where my candles are. I come back from the Caymans, I take my shower, I get into my comfortable pajamas, I go get on my bed, turn on my tv, and I thought, the candles are not on. So I go downstairs and I light the candle downstairs in the foyer. And then I come upstairs, and I've got the thing in my hand to light it because I know where the hell the candle was. There's no candle.
Julie Chrisley
And keep in mind, folks, I left before he left. So he knew the candle was there when he left. Yeah, and I had nothing to do with it.
Todd Chrisley
Candles nowhere to be found. And I stood there in my bedroom for a moment, and I felt like somebody's punking me. They're just trying to make me think I'm crazy as hell. So I stood in the middle of the floor and I thought, there ain't no way in hell I've been clipped for a candle. I go through every room of this house looking for this big, black container candle nowhere to be found. I called Chloe. Have you seen. I know, honey, this is going to sound like a stupid question, but have you seen the big black candle that sits on the thing? Dad, how would I know where a candle is? I called you, Julie. Where is the candle that I just bought from Diptyque that was on the dresser in the bedroom? Todd, how would I know that the candle's still missing? The only people that was in my

was Klepto Chase.
Julie Chrisley
If I were to walk in or you were to walk in, he would know.
Product Sponsor Announcer
We were.
Julie Chrisley
We would smell it. Mm.
Todd Chrisley
Well, on that note, folks, we're gonna find this damn missing Diptyque candle. So until next week, good luck and God bless.

Hosts: Todd and Julie Chrisley
Podcast: PodcastOne
In this candid return episode of “Chrisley Confessions 2.0,” Todd and Julie Chrisley invite listeners into the chaos and humor of their everyday lives, focusing on the challenge of “protecting your peace” as parents of adult children. The conversation leans into family frustrations, boundaries, generational differences, and offers real-time relationship dynamics—served with classic Chrisley wit, frankness, and bursts of bickering. This week, the Chrisleys reflect on supporting their grown son Chase, setting limits, and the ongoing struggle to separate parental responsibility from adult children’s independence. Also featured are pop culture tangents (Angelina Jolie, World Cup tourism), love for home comforts, and a signature Chrisley candle mystery.
The episode opens with Todd recounting a tumultuous morning, mostly stemming from issues with their adult son, Chase, not taking responsibility for his own schedule and home move.
Todd expresses exasperation at having to manage details for their grown children, particularly when gifting Chase the family’s old furniture—yet still having to coordinate every step.
“At 25 and 27 and 28, I find that I’m still wiping adults’ ass.” — Todd (01:13)
Julie points out that when things go awry with the kids, she often bears the brunt of Todd’s frustration.
“Guess who gets the brunt of that frustration? … Me. Me.” — Julie (02:59)
Todd shares his phone call with his mother, Nanny Faye, about ongoing parental obligations:
“You don’t get to determine when you’re going to be a parent. When you’re not. You don’t get to turn it off.” — Nanny Faye, relayed by Todd (03:31) “If you want me to stay in my lane, make sure your lane stays clear, and you don’t have a need for me to get in it.” — Todd (04:05)
Todd passionately insists on the need for boundaries with adult children, repeating his theme of "protecting his peace." He draws a clear line between supporting children and enabling entitlement.
“Grown ass children that make grown ass decisions get to suffer grown ass consequences.” — Todd (19:13)
Todd and Julie discuss how, as parents, they struggle to let go and avoid enabling, knowing that their generosity may have blurred the lines between their children’s “needs” and “wants.”
“Are we raising resilient kids or comfortable kids?” — Julie (21:46)
Todd’s new policy is to help only after the adult children have exhausted all other avenues, shifting away from default problem-solving:
“I am no longer willing to shoulder the burden of adult children. That doesn’t mean that I don’t love my children. … But I need you to exhaust all avenues before you ask.” — Todd (21:18)
Julie brings up the universal nature of these struggles, noting that every parent of adult kids faces similar dramas.
“Is it not always something? We’re not in this boat by ourselves.” — Julie (29:42)
Todd and Julie’s banter highlights real-life marriage and parenting dynamics. Todd laments Julie’s phone habits, joking about how hard it is to reach her, and pokes fun at her social calls:
“I try to call Julie. She doesn’t respond. … You’re on the phone with Josie. You’re on the phone with Shawna. You’re on the phone with all of her friends that she made in Kentucky who are now more important than her husband.” — Todd (10:46)
“We are going to run an auction. ... She will be on the phone with her friends, Josie and Shawn.” — Todd (11:02)
They riff on divided household labor, reminders, and misunderstandings, showing good-natured sparring but also mutual exasperation.
“You’re not that busy. You are not busier than what I am.” — Todd (10:15)
Julie calls out how cycles of gifting and managing for their children mirror mistakes made by their own generation, underscoring the difficulty in fostering true independence for their kids.
“People think that needs and wants are the same thing or that their wants are their needs. No, it’s not.” — Julie (31:17)
Above all, the episode is peppered with practical, sometimes hard-bitten advice for fellow parents:
“As a parent, you’re required to love your child, ... keep them safe, teach them about the Lord, educate them, clothe them and feed them. That’s your requirements. Anything beyond that … is a want.” — Todd (30:45)
Todd cautions young parents not to fall into the same traps of over-gifting or over-supporting adult children.
“Don’t give. … There is a difference from a need and a want.” — Todd (31:13)
[33:07 – 37:56]
Julie brings up recent news about Angelina Jolie’s decade-long break from dating after her split with Brad Pitt, which Todd finds less than fascinating—expressing he’s “Team Jennifer” from the infamous love triangle.
They discuss how even celebrities can’t fully move on (with Jolie and Pitt still contesting assets), segueing into a light digression on pop culture, relationships, and legal battles.
Todd jokes about Julie’s penchant for relaying bad news, teasing she’d make an excellent funeral home director.
“You should work for a funeral home … you don’t have a problem in delivering bad news.” — Todd (37:56)
[39:57 – 43:04]
The Chrisleys reflect on American comforts—after a recent trip to the Cayman Islands, Todd insists nothing feels better than home.
“I have everything I need in … the United States of America. I have everything I need.” — Todd (42:04)
They laugh about being “homebodies,” their need for familiarity, and even wax territorial about their preferences—from household routines to high-end candles.
“I like familiar.” — Todd (43:04)
[43:17 – 47:22]
Responsibility and Boundaries
On Parenting and Enabling
Comedy and Candor
This “Protect Your Peace” episode showcases the humor and heart that define Todd and Julie Chrisley’s brand. While peppered with jokes and gentle ribbing, it offers a sincere meditation on the struggle to balance parental love with personal boundaries, especially as adult children become (or fail to become) independent. With plenty of real-life absurdity, pop culture sidebars, and signature marital banter, the Chrisleys keep it honest and entertaining, making the episode both relatable and memorable for anyone wrestling with family ties—and maybe missing a luxury candle of their own.
