Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Chaos of Everyday Life

• Todd and Julie open with lighthearted banter about a chaotic morning—alarm mishaps and podcast scheduling (01:17–02:05).
• Sets the informal, authentic tone for the episode.

2. Parenting Adult Children & Setting Boundaries

The Listener’s Puppy Dilemma (03:14–08:47)

• Responding to a listener whose adult son, recovering from alcoholism, returns home with an untrained puppy—much to her distress.
• Todd: “We’re not going to trade alcohol addiction for puppy addiction... you do that in your own apartment or your own house. You’re not bringing it in my house.” (04:14)
• Julie: Expresses the emotional conflict—wanting to support a child’s recovery without enabling disruptive behavior. (04:47–05:47)
• They agree: loving a child does not mean sacrificing your own boundaries and peace.

The Evolving Role of Parents (06:12–07:33)

• Todd: Reflects on no longer taking responsibility for his grown children’s decisions: “I’ve spent my whole life cleaning up other people’s mistakes... I’m not going to do that anymore.” (06:12)
• Julie admits she sometimes struggles to back away, having developed those habits over decades.

Consequences & Consistency (09:07–11:22)

• Todd explains the need for children to face consequences, sharing that he’s pulled back from always being the “fixer.”
• Julie discusses adjusting to Todd’s “new parenting style,” and the challenge of unlearning their well-established roles:
  “Just because you changed that page and you flipped the script on me doesn’t mean I am able…you got to give me time.” (10:46)

3. Boundaries, Generational Shifts, & The “Grace Period” Debate

• Todd emphasizes that real boundaries are immediate and don’t come with a grace period: “That person is sad no more. There is no grace period on how you make me feel at this point.” (18:09)
• Julie counters that changes in expectations require communication; children raised with total parental devotion may need time to adjust when a parent steps back (19:45–20:22).
• Both acknowledge the tension—wanting children to learn independence, without feeling abandoned.

4. Grandparenting, Friends, and Family Expectations

• Julie recounts a conversation about differing grandparental involvement—some friends fully embrace the “grandparent-as-nanny” role, others enforce boundaries (22:13–24:43).
• Both criticize the notion of adult children planning their lives assuming built-in parental babysitting:
  “Don’t think that you got built in nanny service with me when you start shitting all these…” – Todd (25:36)
• Discussion on how sons’ marriages can complicate parental influence, especially compared to daughters: (29:39–31:25)

5. Friendships and Emotional Support

• Todd reflects on his lifelong friendship with Stephanie as an example of rare, unwavering support:
  “If you can have a friendship that allows you to have that—you’re in that 1%.” (51:55)
• Julie shares the pain of losing a childhood friend during a difficult period, contrasting the roles of old vs. new friends (53:43–54:18).

Welcome to Chris the Confessions 2.0. Good morning, darling.

[Julie Chrisley]

Good morning.

[Todd Chrisley]

How are you?

[Julie Chrisley]

I'm doing good.

[Todd Chrisley]

You came in here just blazing today, setting the alarm off in your car.

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't know what happened. And like, I got out.

[Todd Chrisley]

She doesn't know what?

[Julie Chrisley]

No, I got out of the car, I locked the door. Right. And then you were still actually recording another podcast. So I went and got back in my car, put my keys in the cup holder, sat there.

[Todd Chrisley]

You got back in the car after you had interrupted the other podcast.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. But I was told by you to make sure that I was on time because we had to start on time. And so I did just that.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

And.

[Julie Chrisley]

And you were running over.

[Todd Chrisley]

So if I was running over, then you go outside and set the alarm off.

[Julie Chrisley]

But I didn't do that on purpose. I don't know why I did that. It was weird.

[Todd Chrisley]

Anyway, crazy week. Crazy week already. So much stuff that we've got going on. What would you like to talk about today?

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, you know, we have the California governor's race that. I guess Spencer Pratt is out of it.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, he was running for mayor, not governor.

[Julie Chrisley]

I mean, mayor, not. Not California.

[Todd Chrisley]

Steve is running for governor.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes, the LA mayor race. Sorry.

[Todd Chrisley]

So now Spencer is out of it. I think that, you know, just depends on how California is going to count their votes or if they're going. Not going to. I was watching a thing this morning where this woman who had been voting in the last, I think, 30 years or 26 years, she has voted and she's been dead for 26 years. She'll be 126 today, and she just voted.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay.

[Todd Chrisley]

So that kind of gives you an idea of kind of what's going on in our country.

[Julie Chrisley]

That. But I've seen that. But that's very interesting.

[Todd Chrisley]

But just saw it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

You know, I watch, you know, I watch stuff on Instagram all the time.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And we have gotten such feedback on the podcast that we did about raising adult children.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

All of it has been very favorable.

[Julie Chrisley]

I think it was relatable.

[Todd Chrisley]

It was very relatable. That's the word that I'm looking for. It was very relatable. And so I've had so many messages since that last podcast that I want to go back to now.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay.

[Todd Chrisley]

Because it's people saying, can you talk about this? Can you talk about this? One of them in particular, their son, who is going to medical school, had an alcohol problem, and they allowed him to come back home, go into therapy, got his life back together, and he got a dog. Well, she's never had a dog in her house. And they have spent their these past few years of being an empty nester, redoing their house, you know, fixing everything that kids tear up, you know, whatever. Then this guy, this, the son, brings this dog in the house who's a puppy who's chewing up her furniture, pissing everywhere. And she said it's literally about to run her over the edge. Todd, how do I handle this? Well, my thing is, is that we're not going to trade alcohol addiction for puppy addiction. And if that's what you're going to do, you do that in your own apartment or your own house. You're not bringing it in my house.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

So I, in my opinion, the dog has to go.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, I know. And I feel like it's this. And you're better at this than I am. I feel like it's this constant internal push and pull. Right. Because you're like, okay, they're doing great. You know, they're, they're sober. They're, you know, trying to get their life back together. So I don't want to do anything to disrupt that, you know, And I feel like sometimes I don't feel like sometimes I know that I'm guilty of this, that I let my guard down. I'm like, well,

[Todd Chrisley]

I don't really want

[Julie Chrisley]

a puppy in the house, but he's doing so good, and I don't want to cause him. And I have to learn that. I'm not going to cause him to relapse. He's going to make that decision if he ever does that. And, God, I hope he doesn't. But if they ever do that, that's not a decision. We don't get to take that on.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right.

[Julie Chrisley]

But I feel like as a parent, I do, because I'm like, you know, certain times I would be like, no, I'm not doing that.

[Todd Chrisley]

And then you did it.

[Julie Chrisley]

But then I did it because I'm like, you know, what if he's like,

[Todd Chrisley]

whatever, you know, and I told you about that.

[Julie Chrisley]

It's just this. It's this constant struggle. Struggle.

[Todd Chrisley]

I think. I don't think I know that. Where I am in my life right now is that I'm no longer willing to take on someone else's mistakes. And I spent my whole life cleaning up other people's, you know, mistakes.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I'm not going to do that anymore. And I think that in some ways, you have kind of taken on the part of me that I let go.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And. And it puts you and I back in kind of the same boat that we've always been in. It's just a different person taking on that responsibility.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I'm not good with that. I'm not good with doing that. And I'm saying that to you as your husband, that I'm no longer good with. With taking on the responsibility of our children's mistakes. Our children are adults. This time belongs to me and you. It doesn't change how we feel about our child. It doesn't change that we love them more than anything else in the world. What does change is that for me is that I have realized that no matter how much I love you, it will never be enough to prevent you from doing what you want to do.

[Julie Chrisley]

Are you talking about your children?

[Todd Chrisley]

Yes.

[Julie Chrisley]

Not me. Not me.

[Todd Chrisley]

And now you and I are pretty much 90% always on the same page.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But I'm just saying. And I'm saying this not just as a child, but as a friend or whatever.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

You can't like someone enough to make them not do what they want to do.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

People are going to do what they want to do.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes, they are.

[Todd Chrisley]

Regardless of how much you love them.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. So regardless of how much you know that what they are doing. And where they are heading is not a good thing, because either we've been there or we can just see it because we've lived so much more life.

[Todd Chrisley]

Exactly.

[Julie Chrisley]

And it's not going to change. They're still going to bust a gut and do it.

[Todd Chrisley]

Exactly. So, you know, for the lady who sent me that message, the dog has to go. Because, let's face it, your son has no respect for boundaries and clearly has no respect and appreciation for the sacrifice that y' all are making to bring him back into your home.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know it's hard because, you know, that happened to us. Like, we took Lilo, and then I ended up loving Lilo. So then it was like. But Lilo didn't tear up anything either. So I think that's true.

[Todd Chrisley]

It's not fast because Chase had already trained her.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. She was trained. So it was a little bit different situation. But I really hadn't had animals. We didn't have animals in our house like that. But I did love her. So I can't say it was a bad thing that I took her out.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

No.

[Todd Chrisley]

Because Lilo is really the first time I've ever seen you show affection. Shut up.

[Julie Chrisley]

That's not true.

[Todd Chrisley]

That was a wonderful thing. That is not true. But I think that, you know that the dog has to go.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And your son, if he's smart enough to be working on his doctorate or whatever, he's smart enough to know what he should be doing and what he shouldn't be doing. And I'm not going to suffer for a relapse that my grown child did, I don't think.

[Julie Chrisley]

You're not going to suffer. I'm not going to.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, I'm not going to be responsible for it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I'm not going to be responsible. I may suffer for it, but I'm not going to be responsible for it. And I feel like that one of the mistakes that I made in parenting our children was always cleaning up their messes.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And always making sure they had no consequences for it and not doing that anymore. And you get upset over that because there's still times when you say, well, can't you do so and so. No, I could, but I'm not going to.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And so let's talk about that for a minute. What is it? That because you're not really on board with this new me of parenting right now, you're not 100% on board, and that was evident this morning at breakfast over a conversation that was going on at the counter, that you were not on the same page with me.

[Julie Chrisley]

You know, I think it's just so different. You know, I think like, okay, we've been rocking and going along 30 years now, and now all of a sudden you're switching things up on me. So I think I kind of always knew what you were gonna do, how you were going to respond, pretty much what you were gonna say before you did it or said it. Right. Because we were just kinda. We've been together a long time. I knew. I know you, so it is a little different. Just, I'm just trying to navigate that new you as far as things that you are.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, what I would suggest is, is that the new me still requires the same thing as the old me did, which is us being consistent in the position that we take.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right, I agree, but that doesn't mean I don't get to have a say. That doesn't mean that if I disagree with you and, and you don't get. And also because I got where you were going with that statement. But also you, all of a sudden, we've been on the same page for 30 years. Just because you changed that page and you flipped the script on me doesn't mean I am able. You got to give me time. Because that didn't mean I can just flip the script to something totally out of character for what you've done for the past 30 years.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, let me ask you something. Do you think that it's fair for. Because we've discussed this. Because I feel like for 30 years I've been taken advantage of when it comes to. Todd will take care of it. Todd will deal with discipline. Todd will tell them no.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Todd will be the one to, you know, to go and make sure that the house is done or the help is hired or whatever. Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, that was 30 years of built of built up resentment of me doing. And you know, you've always said, but you know, you're good at that and you always wanted to control it. So I mean, I just let you do that.

[Julie Chrisley]

So I think that that is another thing that now, now you're able. You have gotten to a place in your life where you can let go because you had to for 28 months.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right?

[Julie Chrisley]

So, okay, so because you yourself were able to let go of something that you, the way you've been for your entire life, which was to be in control and a control freak, because now you're in that place to let go of it. I mean, you can't expect everyone to just be like, okay, Dad's, all of a sudden flipped the whole script on this whole. Our whole Chrisley world. So I think you have to give people the opportunity to be like. Doesn't mean that your points aren't valid. Doesn't mean that you should change from what you are right now. But I think it also means, like, just understanding that sometimes it's going to take people some time to realize, okay,

[Todd Chrisley]

he's run, he's riding differently now, right? He.

[Julie Chrisley]

He's just. He's looking at things differently. He's. He's operating, he's moving differently. Not that it's a bad thing. I'm not saying that at all. But I think you have to understand that when people are used to a certain thing and all of a sudden we changed it up, you know, well, don't you think it's like saying, I love vanilla ice cream and I don't want anything but vanilla ice cream for 30 years, and now all of a sudden, don't ever bring any vanilla ice cream in this house. I want chocolate. I mean, it's something. I mean, I know that sounds so trivial, but it's really the same. Okay, let's face it, guys, we're all getting older, and there are so many things that are thrown at us every day. Does this work? Does that work? But one thing that I was super excited to receive was the LifePro Waver vibration plate. I had been seeing the vibration plates everywhere, but I couldn't wait to try it. Actually, Todd and myself have been on this mission to get healthier and be healthier, and I really do feel like this vibration plate is helping. I have seen it online a million times, and at first I thought, okay, I don't know about this. There's just no way that standing on something actually helps recovery that much. Well, I started in the gym, but also started on my LifePro waiver vibration plate, and I can tell a huge difference. It also helps with so many other things, like blood flow recovery, muscle activation, lymph, lymphatic drainage, soreness, and stiffness. You spend an hour beating your body up in the gym. But most people completely ignore what happens after recovery is what actually determines whether you're ready to go again tomorrow. And apparently, pro athletes and sports teams have been using vibration therapy for years for exactly this reason. So if you're feeling lazy, you can literally stand on it, sit on it, use it at your desk. But if you want more intensity, you can use the resistance bands, squats, calf races, and stretch on it a lot cheaper. Vibration plates online. Look flimsy or gimmicky, I can tell you this one feels stable, powerful and premium. LifePro is America's number one vibration plate brand. Over 2.5 million people are already using LifePro plus they have 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 get $20 off the waiver vibration plate plus free shipping with code [e-mail] that's lifepro fit.com and use code Chrisley 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 Something about Summer always makes me want to be out doing things all day. Whether it's morning walks, coffee runs, beach days or weekend trips. And every year when summer hits, I realize I want clothes that can actually keep up with all that. But buying a whole new summer wardrobe can get expensive really fast.

that are listening and that, that feel a lot of this same way that I feel about certain things, don't you feel that if a person sets boundaries and says, I will no longer allow you to make me feel this way, right? That doesn't give you a grace period. That means that that person is sad no more. There is no grace period on you, on how you make me fail at this point.

[Julie Chrisley]

And that's a decision that you ultimately make for yourself because at that point you decide, okay, this person's no longer riding with me the way that we've ridden. So I either have to either say, if I'm not given grace, then I got to move in a whole other direction, right? Like, I've got to move. I gotta remove myself from this situation because it's not the direction that I want to go in.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I think that when you, you know, as adults, you know, and this is what I want our children to learn, is that it's okay. Because none of us know when that realization is going to hit, right? Because you live your life every day. But when that realization does hit that I'm no longer going to ride this way, right? I'm no longer going to be disrespected. I'm no longer going to be taken advantage of. I'm no longer, longer going to be the fall guy. And, and you say, you wake up, you're like, yeah, I'm not doing that anymore. I don't think you say, I'm going. I'm not going to do that anymore. So I'm going to give all the people that have done this to me a grace period of. So I'll let them do it for a couple of more times. And then, no, no, I'm not saying

[Julie Chrisley]

do it a Couple more times. But I do think you have to have open and honest conversations with, you know, it's like your kids, right? You, your whole entire existence of being a parent, have said, I will die for my children. They are the most important things. I live for my kids. I've heard you say it a gazillion times.

[Todd Chrisley]

That's right. So you've not seen me say it. You've seen me live it, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

So that's all your kids know. So now for you to say, do whatever you got to do, because I'm living my life. I don't need to be here for this event. I don't need to be here for this. I'm going here. I'm doing this. I'm whatever.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Well,

[Julie Chrisley]

they don't know how to react.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, but here's the thing that I, you know, because I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Julie Chrisley]

You know what I'm saying? I mean, I'm just saying that in general, I think all of them have been like, wow. Like, they don't know what to do.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, I think that, you know, I think that. What I don't think I know that. What I'm saying is, is that if you are adult enough to go out here and go opposite of the way that you were raised, the way you were taught, the way that I just told you yesterday not to go, right? And you go and do it anyway and you mess up, right? That doesn't change my travel plans, right? That doesn't change where I am emotionally, where I am mentally. That doesn't get to change that. And until people realize, our children, mostly until they realize they. That mom and dad are really. They've done their job right? They have raised us right. We've been touting to the world, you know, over. I think we've had a billion streams now, or 2 billion, whatever. It's this crazy number. They've touted to the world that they're grown, that they can do this. Well, if we tell you you're not and you go do it, then you get to clean the shit up, not us, right? Because how does someone learn the lesson unless they have to deal with the consequence of that?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

And for me, I'm just not. I'm just not doing it right. It doesn't change how. It does not change how I feel about our children.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

Love them. Would lay down and die for any of them today. But what you're not going to do is go do what you want to do every day of the week. And me never get to do what I want to do.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Right.

[Julie Chrisley]

And I mean, listen, I. It's so funny that you brought this up because we don't discuss really what we're going to talk about here. We want it to be very organic. So I literally was having a conversation with someone this morning, and she was talking about, you know, her grandchildren and how she has, you know, she helps with them.

[Todd Chrisley]

And, you know, this is our friend in Atlanta.

[Julie Chrisley]

The daughter was doing this and doing that, and then we were talking about some other people that we know, and they kind of do their own thing. You know, they're not really gonna allow these grandkids to really.

[Todd Chrisley]

I know who we're talking about. Interfere with their life.

[Julie Chrisley]

Interfere with their life. You know, so we had this conversation today, you know, but, you know, she's more, I guess, like me, you know,

[Todd Chrisley]

to a certain degree, and I'm more like the couple that have moved on and built their huge home.

[Julie Chrisley]

Ye. So it's. Yeah. So it's interesting to see, like, different. I think there's people all across the board, you know, that are so. I don't know. I don't know. It's interesting. I love to hear, you know, different take on it. You know, I feel like, you know, we didn't really have that opportunity with Jackson, you know, to. To be a grandparent like that, in that, you know, that regards as far as, like, you know, helping on a daily basis or a weekly basis or whatever. And then, you know, Chloe's ours. She's not our grandchild. She's our child. So I think it's just a different perspective, you know, and who knows what. Who knows what the future holds? But it's just interesting that I had this conversation and. And then I was able to hear. And then we talked about it today. So.

[Todd Chrisley]

But now, what is in that conversation that you had with this individual?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Obviously, her perspective is going to be way different than mine because her whole life has been her grandchildren, you know,

[Julie Chrisley]

it has, and it is, but it's. But I did hear her, like, setting some boundaries, you know, because, you know, she. She's a little older, and she was like, you know, no, I can help out from this time to this time, but I'm not going to keep all. I'm not going to keep. Keep them all day. You know, that's a lot to keep them all day.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Right.

[Julie Chrisley]

So you get somebody to help during this time and this time. And I'll come at, like, bedtime or whatever it was.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, here's my thing that. That I. That I'm witnessing throughout our social circle.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Of. Because everyone in our circle is really about our age.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. Our older. Older.

[Todd Chrisley]

And they're having grandchildren. Already had grandchildren.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And what's the crazy part for me is that this generation. Generation. When I say this generation, the ones that we've raised, is that they believe that they're going to time their pregnancies and their deliveries and how they're going to handle their children based off of what they want.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Based off of. Because my parents is going to do this.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And my parents is going to be here for this.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

No, you need to be planning your. When you're having your children based off of what you can do.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And then if your parents want to step in and offer help, then, wow, what a blessing that is.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

But don't think that you got built in nanny service with me.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

When you start shitting all these.

[Julie Chrisley]

And then. Listen, we had another child. I mean, we have another friend who, you know, I feel like we have a good group of friends that are at all different places right there, at all different places with kids, with grandkids. You know, some of them, you know, have really good relationships, and some of them have. They struggle, you know, And I feel like it's all over the board, and I feel like there are seasons to it. You know, there's seasons with your kids. There's seasons. We know there's seasons with your marriage, but I feel like there's seasons with your kids, with your grandkids, all that, where things are really good, and then when things are just. Just not so good, you know? And I think it's learning. Okay. We're experiencing a heat wave right now in Nashville. And I think it said in my car yesterday that it was 101, so we all know what that means. It's hot all day and it's hot at night. And one thing I hate is to be hot when I'm trying to sleep. When it's summer, you just feel yuck. I mean, sheets get stuck to your legs, your hair's matted to the back of your neck. You're cranking the AC down to 65 just to feel human. And arguing with Todd, keep been mine. Because, you know, that's what we do. Sleeping hot is 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 trap heat. Bowl and branch is the cool side of the pillow. But everywhere, bowl and branch, summer bedding options are breathable, lightweight and designed to keep you cool all night long. Their sheets are 100% organic cotton, woven specifically with airflow, not just softness. Unlike synthetic cooling technology or chemically treated fabrics, the cooling is structural. It's literally how the cotton is woven. And 94% of bowl and branch customers say their sheets get softer with every wash. And this is so true. I literally just changed out gray sheets for the summer with these new summer bedding and he is loving it. So what does sleeping in your bowling branch actually feel like? It feels better every single night and with every single wash. Sleep cooler this summer with Bull and Branch during their annual summer event.

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 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. 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's this other friend that you spoke to? What are you saying about them?

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, you know, their situation is, you know, I don't think they want to be a a, you know, they don't want to be the nanny by any means, but you know, they want to have this involvement with their grandchildren and you know, and I think it's different too. I think when you have sons and you have daughters. I think there's a big difference in that too. Because when you have a daughter, I feel like. And we don't know this yet, but you know, in the years to come, we're going to know it, how different it is. But I think when you have daughters, you know, you have this close, closer relationship or a more open relationship where you can speak more freely, you know, like to say, okay, what are you doing? Like, this is stupid. Or like, I'm not gonna do this or I am gonna do this. Whereas with sons who, you know, go get married, you have a daughter in law that you have to deal with. And not necessarily you're dealing with that daughter in law, but you are because your son is the mouth. Yeah, she's in his ear. And I think that's when. That's where a lot of issues come from. Right? Because you know how you raised your son, like, okay, I raised him this way.

[Todd Chrisley]

Now you acting stupid, and now you're

[Julie Chrisley]

acting like you don't even know what I'm talking about. Okay, well, you know how I raised you, so why are you stepping outside that? Because you got somebody else in your ear, right? You know, and I think, think that was, you know, just something. So I think I. I just, I don't know what it is about right now, but it seems like every time I have a conversation, it's about something related to these adult kids. And I don't know, I just feel like I know we had one whole episode on it, and I feel like

[Todd Chrisley]

one whole episode's not enough.

[Julie Chrisley]

It's not enough because I feel like so many people are dealing with it. And I guess it's because we're just at that age, you know?

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, and, you know, I think that, you know, some people will look at it and say, well, that's so selfish. But that person that's saying that so selfish about how I feel.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Is someone who doesn't have the backbone to stand up and say, I deserve to be able to have this time in my life. I deserve to be able to have this five minutes. Or I deserve to be able to. To have a good feeling about what I'm giving.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right? Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And not that I have to do

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

it

[Julie Chrisley]

with our parents. I mean, they helped us a lot.

[Todd Chrisley]

No, our parents were saints.

[Julie Chrisley]

Like, I remember when we were where early on, right. When Chase and Savannah were just babies and Lindsay and Kyle were little. Right? And when Lindsay and Kyle would go to their moms, my mom and dad would come and get chasing Savannah So we would have. Have a weekend with no kids. Like, they would drive, literally, when she

[Todd Chrisley]

would take advantage, they would drive from

[Julie Chrisley]

South Carolina to Georgia or we'd meet in commerce, whatever, and they would get the. The babies. And Chase and Savannah were just 14 months apart.

[Todd Chrisley]

Yep.

[Julie Chrisley]

Which. My parents were young grandparents.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right. But not really.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, they were. My parents were young grandparents.

[Todd Chrisley]

Your dad is, what, 93?

[Julie Chrisley]

Shut up. Think about. No, think about this, Todd. When Chase and Savannah were born. When they were born, right. 30 years ago. My mom was 40 years old. My dad was 45.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right.

[Julie Chrisley]

When chasing Savannah. They were grandparents at 40 and 40.

[Todd Chrisley]

So they were younger. They're younger grandparents than us than what we would be by far than what

[Julie Chrisley]

we would be today.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right.

[Julie Chrisley]

So they were 10 years younger than us.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right.

[Julie Chrisley]

When. When they became grandparents. And they had, you know, to chasing Savannah, so they were such a help to us, you know? And, like, they would. They'd get. And your mom and dad, too.

[Todd Chrisley]

Yes.

[Julie Chrisley]

They would work and more so like, with Lindsay and Kyle and for you. I know you've said it many times, even before I knew you, you know how they would take Lindsay and Kyle and they would do stuff.

[Todd Chrisley]

And my mom and dad, they were saints when it came to being grandparents.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And that's always been a concern for me with when. In mine and your conversation.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Because I never saw love like that. What mom and daddy had for my children. I mean, that was just a love. Like, I'm like, where is this coming from?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

And I've always said to you, I don't know that I'm capable of loving a grandchild the way that I have loved my own child.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And you and I have had that conversation, Todd. You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine. And I have.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, and it's like that. That funny thing on Instagram where you said that they said it was a. It was a little quote, and they said, I don't know who this woman is, because this woman that raised me is not this. Not this grandma that's out here doing all this stuff. She's an old lady trying to get into heaven. It ain't the same one. Like, it is not the same one.

[Todd Chrisley]

But, you know, I just think that you're like, I know that when Savannah has a baby, Savannah has the wherewithal to do whatever she needs to do.

Right?

If she wants nannies, she can have nannies. If she wants a night nurse, she can have a home night nurse. I get all that. And Savannah's not going To. And I don't listen. We've not raised a child that's going to throw their children off on us.

[Julie Chrisley]

No.

[Todd Chrisley]

Because they are very committed to that process.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I think some of them are a little more delusional about what it's going to take to be that than others. And we will be here to help in whatever ways that we can, but we will not be a 24 hour nanny service. We will not be a 24 hour atmosphere.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And we will not get involved with just when you're fighting with the other side of that equation.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

We're not getting in it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

You're not bringing that shit up in our house.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. Because now that is something that we didn't do. We, we did not do that. And I have told our kids. And this is. There's a fine line there, you know, if my children were in unhealthy relationships, God forbid, abusive relationship, I would want you to come to me. But if you guys are just having a spat, don't come and tell me everything. And I've told, I've even told our kids about me, about you with people that they've dated. I'm like, do not tell your dad every time y' all get into an argument. Because guess what? He doesn't forget it.

[Todd Chrisley]

That's right.

[Julie Chrisley]

And then, oh, y' all kiss and make up and y' all are out to dinner and everything.

[Todd Chrisley]

Speak to him.

[Julie Chrisley]

And now here we are low key hating them.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Well.

[Julie Chrisley]

And we're having to be like, you're low key hating.

[Todd Chrisley]

Yeah, I'm high level hate.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. So I say that there's a fine line there. Because I do, I do like that our children share with us. Sometimes they have been known to overshare. Because certain things. I don't want to know that. Like I don't want to know that. That is tmi too much information.

[Todd Chrisley]

I told one of our children the other day, I said I need to you, you to be more Christlike. Yes, I need you to be more Christ. Like I says. And don't speak a mumbling word. I need you to be more Christ.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, we just, we, we want to have this open relationship with you. And of course, if there is something that is detrimental or that is like our. Or if we, you know, you're done. If you know you are done, then just let me know we done. Because if you let me know we done.

[Todd Chrisley]

We, we're done.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

That's it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Now you know I'm that way. All you got to do is give me. If you Say I am done, mama. Then I'm done.

[Todd Chrisley]

That's it.

[Julie Chrisley]

I mean, I can wipe you off

[Todd Chrisley]

and we will never, like, never talk about you again.

[Julie Chrisley]

Like, I don't even know who that is.

[Todd Chrisley]

And, you know, I think it's. I think it's. In some ways, I think it's amazing that Kris Jenner can do what she does. I know, because she literally is so good with Scott and Lamar.

[Julie Chrisley]

You know what, though? I listen to Chloe's podcast. So I listened to Chloe's podcast and I listened to the podcast that she did with Tristan, who is, you know, her, the father of her children, and they were talking about co parenting. And she said the reason that she feels like she is able to co parent as good as she is is because the way that her mother was. She grew up, her mom and dad had a. A great relationship of co parenting and Bruce. So she's like, there would be, you know, my mom, my dad, Bruce, all in the same room, all whatever. They were all on the same page or, you know, in with co parenting. And she's like, I believe that helped me so much as an adult be able to see that it can be done right. And. And yes, she has a good. And it seems like she just.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Just.

[Julie Chrisley]

It seems. And I'm sure we only see, of course, social media what people want us to see, but I just feel like she has a way of navigating because, listen, she's had a lot of relationships with these girls and. And Rob, you know, back and forth. And this is. Person's in, this person's out having kids with this one, you know, whatever. I don't know, I just feel like she's done a great job.

[Todd Chrisley]

She's just done it. She's done a great job with navigating it. And, you know, I remember seeing that clip where Kanye was screaming at her.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And how calm she was in trying to bring that down. But I also saw the pain in her.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Yeah.

[Julie Chrisley]

I'd give anything to be able to have a conversation with her, just to ask her all these questions like, how do you do it?

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, I think that.

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't know. I just. I don't know. I just feel like.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, we have. You could probably have that conversation.

[Julie Chrisley]

She has so much wisdom.

[Todd Chrisley]

She's done.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, the way that she handles her. Not that her kids have done everything perfect, but I look at just the way that she conducts herself with them through business, and I don't know, I just find it very fascinating. I love to listen to it. I loved her Podcast that she. Chloe did with her mom, you know.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, you know, I love Chris.

[Julie Chrisley]

And they were talking about her facelift. You know, she was like, f them. F them. That was literally the. The tagline. That was the.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

The.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. She was like, done. I was like, oh, my God.

[Todd Chrisley]

I was on a panel with her years ago in Miami and she was. She was great. She was. She was great. And, you know, I've. I've watched and I've learned a lot from her in so many different things. And the thing that I have learned the most from her is, is that she. And I think that I look at her sometimes and I think about, this woman has got to be a pillar of strength to deal with all the shit that she has to deal with and still maintain a business relationship with the girls. Still maintain, you know, everything that she's in control of. And I just wonder sometimes because, I mean, her girls appear to be very much in love with their mother and are good to their mother.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

But there are moments that I think to myself, wonder if she's really being heard. Wonder how many times she's thought, would somebody please just look at me and see that I'm falling apart over here because of all the shit that I'm doing for y' all that you take for granted.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

Because I have felt like that. And you. And I just had that conversation with our kids the other day. I said, have you ever taken the time to really get to know who your mom and dad are?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

You know, who raised you?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But who were we before we were parents?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Do you have any interest in knowing who we were before we were your parent?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Your mother was this young girl who had dreams, who lived her life carefree and was not. Was not hostage to anything but. But your own thoughts.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

You know, your dad was a dreamer his whole life who literally, I locked myself in a cage to make sure that my focus did not get deterred over where I needed to be.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And do you wonder why you're the way that you are?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Because if you're a strong.

[Julie Chrisley]

You know, I think so many times, just people. And I'm not just saying this about our kids. I think it's just people in general. We get very wrapped up in our own world.

[Todd Chrisley]

We become very self absorbed.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes. In our own. Just selfish. What we want, what makes us feel good at the moment, what. And we don't really stop. I feel like that with a lot of relationships, really, you know, I feel like, you know, if you.

[Todd Chrisley]

Well, do you believe I Don't know.

[Julie Chrisley]

Like, I heard Gayle King, obviously, when I'm cleaning, when I'm in the car by myself, I'm always listening to somebody's podcast.

[Todd Chrisley]

Because she's nosy.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. But I know I like to be informed. I like to hear what other people say. And Gayle King said something, she said, if you're lucky enough to have one friend, one, Then you're lucky enough like one friend who you can truly be yourself 110%. And I mean, and really think about that like somebody that you can invest your time in to really know them. Because so many times we're friends. Friends with people that we don't even really know them. Like, we really, we don't even take the time to really get to know them. Okay, well, why do they feel this way? Why do they react this way? Why? Whatever. Because we are, we're so self absorbed that we don't, we don't take that time.

[Todd Chrisley]

And, you know, and I feel like that. And I agree 100% with what you just said then what Gail said. I am so blessed to have that kind of friendship because, you know, my friendship with Stephanie has never changed. It's always been consistent.

Right.

She and I have always been able to, at our lowest, be able to commiserate with each other. Right. And we didn't hold anything back. We shared everything.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And we worked, we worked our way through it together.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And you know, a prime example was this morning because we do message all the time.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Time.

[Todd Chrisley]

But this morning I had sent her a message because as everyone should know by now, I have Good Guy RX that's launching here soon. And there's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes for that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I'm just so excited for that because I know how good I feel because of how I've changed my life as far as my health goes.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And I'm so excited to do that for so many men in this country that it's crazy.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, I think it's just, just so going to be so cool for them to have a place to land.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right? A safe place.

[Julie Chrisley]

A safe place to land where they can get, they can be educated, they can deal with professionals who, you know, they're not having to go out here and not know what they're getting, how they're getting. They have someone that can follow their journey with them. And you are transparent about what you do. And, you know, you have people all the time. They're like, oh, my gosh, you know, Todd, you look great. What are you doing? What are you doing? What? Your skin, your. Your body, your whatever. To be able to have that place, I think is going to resonate because you know you're going to do it. You're going to follow your protocol. Grayson's going to follow a protocol, Chase is going to follow a protocol. And those are three different generations right there.

[Todd Chrisley]

And, you know, so, you know. Good Guy rx. For me, watching what Savannah was doing for women with Good Girl RX was huge because I was like, she literally met. She has literally found her purpose and her calling because she has a servant's heart, and she's helping so many women with Good, Good Girl Rx. And I got to thinking, well, I'm doing all this stuff, so maybe I should do Good Guy rx. And I went to her and said, would you help me launch Good Guy rx? And she said, yes, dad. And I said, it needs to be the same purpose, but for men. I said, because men won't go to a doctor. They won't say something's wrong. And. And the way that the telehealth works now, and you still have that HIPAA privacy, all of that, a guy can literally pick up his phone with Good Guy Rx. He can go to his computer and he can log in and he can get an appointment with a telehealth expert, and he can talk about some of the issues that he's having with aging and that this is not the same as it used to be. Maybe my sex drive is lower. Maybe I'm having trouble maintaining an erection. You don't have that problem. But at some point, maybe if I. If that problem ever happens in my weight, my right. You know, with me, mine has always been preventative. Yes, I've always. Since you and I have been together, really, Since I turned 40, mine has always been preventative care. And I stayed on top of that. I would read every journal, you know, all the medical stuff. You know, you should start your laser at this point. If you start Botox at this time or if you do this, that it kind of. Of pushes that aging process back. And when I came home and really got started, you know, the NAD was huge for me, right? And then I started my other peptide course, right? That. You know yourself what that has done for me, right? You know, when I had my physical and I did all the stuff and folks, I mean, I'm happy to post all of my results because I don't care. All of my blood work was exceptional, right? And you were like, you're going to live another 50, you're going to. I'm going to die way before you.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

She says that every time I get a good report, folks.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, I think you have to also understand where you came from.

[Todd Chrisley]

Right?

[Julie Chrisley]

You had inflammation, you had.

[Todd Chrisley]

I was exposed to black mold.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

To lead based paint, to bad water, you know, all kinds of things.

[Julie Chrisley]

You had fought fibromyalgia for years and just felt, felt bad. Even though on the outside you looked great, the inside was not.

[Todd Chrisley]

That's right. And so to know where I am today after coming home, having all that blood work done. Most guys go for blood work when they're my age because they're having a problem with low, low testosterone.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I never had that. And when my blood work came back, you know, it came back at like 8:59 or something was my testosterone from my die. So should mine be higher? Because I had read, you know, 1200, he said, not at your age. He said, your numbers are exceptional. Do you understand that? The bulk of my client base, my patients that are coming to me that are men are in that 25 to 30 with low testosterone. Folks, that has to be environmental because you.

[Julie Chrisley]

It's crazy.

[Todd Chrisley]

We know. Nobody in my grade ever had that issue.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And certainly not at that age.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But, but doing telehealth.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, we do not need you to have any more testosterone. More testosterone and the empathy goes out the door. No, we're good.

[Todd Chrisley]

You haven't complained yet.

[Julie Chrisley]

But I said testosterone and empathy, empathy, not.

[Todd Chrisley]

Okay, we get it, we get it, we get it, we get it. But you know, I think that so many guys, you know, that come, that that's in our group talk to me about low testosterone.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, no one talks to me about low testosterone. Not our group. Your group.

[Todd Chrisley]

But you know what I'm saying, Our people that we know, they're like, you know, what do you. I don't do anything.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

You know, I, I don't do anything because I have no problems with it. But when I started doing the research and I started seeing the stigma around that and how men won't talk about it, I thought, well then let's do this for the men. Because when I was at camp, men could not get their testosterone injections, but we did give hormones to people that were going, that were being transitioned.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But you would not give the men their testosterone.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right? Insane.

[Todd Chrisley]

And. But these men would talk about how they felt and how they just had no energy and they were very emotional and you know, whatever. And I want good guy Rx to be that safe landing Space for all men of all ages that can go. That's not gonna. Because you and I have a very open relationship, right. If something was wrong with me, I would say, gee, we gotta go figure out what's going on here.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

You know, if.

[Julie Chrisley]

But some people don't. Some, some don't.

[Todd Chrisley]

And you know, guys don't. They won't talk about their emotions, right? This way, a guy has a soft landing place to where they can talk to someone that they're not having, having to be ashamed of.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And it's not just about low testosterone. It's, you know, it's about making sure that you're living a healthy life, right? And there's these peptides today and these GLPs, they are changing the game in the medical field, right? And I want to be at the, I want to be at the, at the very beginning of that. I want to be. I don't want to be on the tail end coming in, right. So I'm very excited about that. But, you know, I got off track there. I sent that over. So I sent this photograph because it came to me today of what's going to be on the landing page.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And. And it said, the strongest thing a man can do is take care of himself. So I built something to help him do that. I love that good guy, rx. So I sent that picture to my friend Stephanie and she said, I so love you. And as always, I am so, so, so proud of you.

[Julie Chrisley]

I love that.

[Todd Chrisley]

Now that and the, and the last one, she said, oh, and by the way, the pick is so good. She never focused on that picture, Right. She focused on the fact that her friend, right, was having another monumental moment in his life, right? And she was grateful and proud for that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right?

[Todd Chrisley]

And if you can have a friendship that allows you to have, that allows you to have that right, you. You're in that 1%.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

So I don't, you know, and I say to you all the time, I don't need any more people in my life. And I think when you hear people say that, sometimes people that hear that, they're like, how sad, how sad that he feels that way. Don't feel sad for me. Feel grateful that I am at a full capacity, right? Feel grateful that, wow, I want what he has, right. I don't need to go through another 600 people to try it with hopes of finding my one, right. Stephanie has been that one for me my whole life now. I mean, you know, there is a battle for my friendship, affections here between Terence and Stephanie. But I. You know, and I love Terrence, but Terrence and I have only been friends for, like, two years now. Three years. Stephanie has been. I mean, Stephanie and I have been friends from little all the way to now.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. And you just have way more history.

[Todd Chrisley]

We do have way more history. And I'm gonna have a lot. I'm gonna create a lot of history. Our family is with Terrence because we all love Terrence, and Terrence just, like, swooped into our lives and became that breath of fresh air that I think we all were needing and wanting. But Stephanie is my consistent. She's my go to. We've raised children together. We've talked about the frustrations of having children and the frustrations of an ex and not doing their part. And so we have so much history together. And then you and Stephanie became good friends, and that was a beautiful thing. So for me, I know that you suffered the loss of what you thought was a friendship.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

That you had a childhood friend, and that was not there for you when you were gone. But yet when you got home, that call came in, and you didn't take that call. And I know how you feel about that.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

That person.

[Todd Chrisley]

And that hurt me because I know how you failed because you act. You try to put on this tough facade that you're. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. But that cut you to the core.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And so you don't really have that one person that is. That. That is your Stephanie.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

You have your friends today. You know that you've made. That you've cultivated over the last 20 years, 25 years, you know, those are your friends. But that one childhood friend that you had been there for her through her divorce, through adultery, through everything, you had been there, and then when you were gone, you heard nothing. So I know that that hurts you. So for that, I'm sorry, but you can't have my friend.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay. That's fine.

[Todd Chrisley]

So just wanted you to know that.

[Julie Chrisley]

That's fine.

[Todd Chrisley]

Stephanie's my friend.

[Julie Chrisley]

That's fine.

[Todd Chrisley]

So with that being said, I love doing this podcast with you. I love spending time with you. I love where we are at this place in our life.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

I feel like that every day. I laugh more with you. I have. I cut up more with you. Everything's not as stressful as it once was. It's.

[Julie Chrisley]

And that's a blessing.

[Todd Chrisley]

The room's not here. Yes. The room's not heavy anymore. And I love that. So I thank you for that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes. But I will tell you, everybody keeps telling me that the boys podcast with you, that they are loving it. So I will give you that little.

[Todd Chrisley]

They are. It's the craziest. It's. It's not crazy. It is. It's so refreshing because it's a different approach. And Chase is just a rock star because Chase is the funniest child that we have.

[Ad voice or Promo Host]

Have.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And Chase is great television.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

Grayson is a little more serious than what I'd like for him to be.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

And you and I talked to him about that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

To enjoy your life. But it is who he is, always. Yes. He's a very serious person.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

And so the dynamics between, you know, this one over here who's so. Well, technically, that didn't happen on that day. It happened on this day at this time. And I was sitting there and I was present for that moment. And then you've got this up here. Are you kidding me right now?

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Todd Chrisley]

And then you've got me going. They're both crazy. You know, it's. It is.

[Julie Chrisley]

So I heard somebody say that you got crazier and crazier.

[Todd Chrisley]

Yes, exactly.

[Julie Chrisley]

Crazy and crazy.

[Todd Chrisley]

And, you know, but I watched Chase, and as much struggle as chase has had, 99% of it was self inflicted.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Todd Chrisley]

But as much as I see that, I still see that magic in him. Right. And I watch him and his timing is perfect on responses. He's really great on that, on Two Sons and Me. And so I'm going to give him. I'm going to give him his flowers for that because as he told me on Two Sons of Me, I said, I'm giving you. Where is my flowers? Where are you putting them? Because I don't get them. So, you know, I love that. I love that energy that he has for that. So thank you so much.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Todd Chrisley]

You ready to go?

[Julie Chrisley]

I guess.

[Todd Chrisley]

All right, folks, until next week, good luck and God bless.

Hi there, it's Becca Tobin. I am currently the mother of a four year old, which means I have been through it, but I still have questions and maybe even a few answers. From surrogacy to toddler chaos, I have learned a lot and so not nearly enough. That's why I decided to launch Baby Gang, a six part series from the Lady Gang where I'm getting real about fertility, parenting, and all the stuff nobody actually tells you. I'm bringing in some experts for the tough stuff and some other celeb moms and friends for parenting survival stuff. It's honest, it's messy, it's emotional, and yes, we are definitely laughing through it. Because whether you're in it, thinking about it, or just curious, we've got you. So join the Baby Gang wherever you get your podcasts.
