B
I'm Todd and Julie. And Julie is bouncing on my last nerve this morning because she. Folks, and I'm just going to jump right into this on how hypocritical she is towards certain things. You have chastised everyone in the family about proper phone etiquette. Okay, did you lose that when you went to Kentucky?
C
No. Why?
B
Because you were just on your phone when Erin was saying, time is money. We need Julie to get off the phone. Todd, it's disrespectful of your time for her to be treating you like this.
C
Okay, well, she actually didn't say that.
B
Well, I read it on her mind. She wanted to say that.
C
I am so, so sorry, Aaron. I would never want to offend you, ever.
B
And folks, about three weeks ago, I'm laying in the bed and she. Well, I don't know because this morning when I woke up, you know, you was over there listening to your things on Instagram and whatever. Julie, how did you hear that? It's on number one at best.
C
No, no, I'm gonna let you go. It does not matter. Okay, folks, this is the thing.
B
And y' all talk about me interrupting her.
C
No, this thing.
B
Okay, now I'm going to tell it all. I'm laying in the bed, seven o' clock in the morning. It's on the lowest level you can get it. And I'm listing the stuff.
C
He can't hear very well.
B
Obviously I can hear on number one. It's not one and I don't want you doing that. I mean, it's so disrespectful.
C
It is.
B
Folks, not a day later, she's over There laying beside me, and she clicks on her thing, and it is at the loudest level you could get it.
C
Okay, listen. You're right. It was okay. But the difference being yours is intentional. You're intentionally listening to something wide ass open.
B
It's not wide open.
C
And I. Because I had been listening to a podcast earlier. It's what made my volume up. So I apologize. And I said, I'm sorry. Todd, you do it every day. Not just.
B
Is that the only time you've done it since then?
C
No, but.
B
So are you saying you listen to podcasts all day, every day?
C
I do listen to podcasts a lot when I'm in the car by myself. But what I'm saying to you is mine was not intentional. Yes, I did it, but it was not intentional. I think this is my thing. I. Todd watches way more television than I watch because I'm always up doing in the house.
B
She wants to go.
C
I'm in the grocery store. I'm whatever.
B
You want to be in the road. You want to be in the road.
C
True. But anyway, what was I doing last night? I was mopping the floors.
B
So anyway, Cinderella, give it a rest. That's beside the rest.
C
That's beside the point. But what I'm saying is I don't watch a lot of television. Todd and I do not watch, like, series together because.
B
Tell them why.
C
A. Because Todd watches more television. He's upstairs way more than I am to be able to watch it. And then when I finally do come to watch it, I'm tired, so I fall asleep. That's something that's been that way for 30 years. That's not changing.
B
But why do you get mad?
C
Because you. Because when other people are like, I see other people on Instagram and they're like, okay, yeah, we're going to watch our show tonight. And they're, like, mindful of each other, like, okay, when we both get there, then we'll watch the show. And I get it. It doesn't work. It's just something that does not work for us.
B
It don't work for those men that's posting that shit on Instagram either, because no man has got a wife that is going to sit there and watch Landman from season one all the way to the current episode.
C
No, honey. Because we're not afforded that luxury. You know, we've got children that have to be dealt with. We got dinner that has to be cooked. We got laundry that has to be done. We got.
B
I'm doing some of those things. I'm actually Doing.
C
What I'm saying is, you know, there are some people who will be like, you know what? I'm going to wait for my wife to get up here to watch that next episode and then we're going to watch an episode or two and that's it. No, you want to watch a whole.
B
Season for which busy hours concept of streaming now.
C
But when you have a partner to.
B
Watch it, when you have a partner that can stay awake, that's not a narcoleptic.
C
Listen, it's just not meant for us to watch TV shows together and that's okay.
B
And here's she. I'm so sick of her and her victim mentality because that is just not the case. Who wants to buddy up with somebody who can't finish anything? You're not going to pick her to run a race. I'm not going to pick you to watch a television series. You came up there the other night and forced me again to watch this Murdoch murders or some shit. I don't know if she's trying to figure out where he screwed up so she doesn't with me. But maybe eight or nine. Eight or nine episodes you've done this. How many have you completed?
C
I've completed every single one of them.
B
Lies, I tell you that's not true.
C
I've watched every one of them. I've watched every single.
B
How did it end?
C
I have watched every one of them.
B
I want you to tell me.
C
I didn't, I can't remember exactly. But it's okay, I watched it, I know I did. Lies, I tell you, but it's okay, it's just. Listen, it's just not meant for us to be television watching partners and that's okay.
B
And here's the thing. I, you know I watch zero reality television, right? All of my stuff is going to be Yellowstone, Landman, Diplomat, beast in me or beast within me or whatever it was with that hot girl, what's her name that on Diplomat.
C
Anyway, go ahead.
B
Kerry Russell's husband. Those are the shows that I'm going to watch. I'm not watching reality television. I don't watch the Housewives. I mean even though one of my dearest friends is on. But you just said to me the other night, folks, this is when she trapped me with the Murdoch murder. She turns it on and I look over, maximum 10 minutes into it and this is what I got.
C
Okay? Keep in mind.
B
Worked all day.
C
I get up at 5:00, so it makes for a long day.
B
You get up at 5 then you get back in bed, right? Then you run Chloe to school, then you come back and get back in.
C
Bed sometimes, but not always.
B
So at any rate, folks, typical 30 year relationship here. She gets in the bed the other night and she goes after this murder, murders is over. I said, julie, it's over. Well, we're not watching the car. I'm not starting the Kardashians tonight because I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna be able to stay awake to it. Bitch, you didn't stay awake through murder, murder, murders or whatever it was. Okay, so I didn't get to find out what my girl Chloe's doing, so now I get to catch up on that.
C
She said, you don't watch that.
B
You know, it's the only thing that I watch with you that we can get through.
C
Did what? I watched it so I can tell you what they did.
B
What did my girl do?
C
You know what? It was very sweet. Kim actually got a Bible. It was her daddy's Bible. It was like Robert Kardashian's Bible. It was engraved with his name on it. And he had given it to OJ back in the day and had written in it. And it was. Which I think is, is so crappy that the estate did this. So of course OJ's estate was going to auction it off.
B
Why wouldn't they just give that back to his daughters?
C
And so, and so Kim had to. Had to win the auction, but she did it under an alias so they wouldn't know because, you know, my girl. Because, you know, they would have run. I'm sure they ran anyway. But she got it. And all along she thought that it was just a Bible that her dad had given to oj, but it wasn't. It was her dad's Bible. Like, it had his name engraved and everything on it. And he then wrote a little thing to OJ during that whole, like, whole thing that was going on. Went on. And so she got it and she gave it to Chloe.
B
See, now that's how it's supposed to be. My girl got it.
C
So sweet. But it was, it was funny because they were in. This episode was around Easter, so they were out in Palm Springs. They were staying at Courtney's house. And Kim was like, wanting her to, you know, she was going to give it to her. But like, she was talking, she was like, okay, let's, you know, what's a Bible verse? Like, that's appropriate for Easter, whatever. And. And Chloe's like, what are you doing? Like, she was kind of being like, snarky. A bit. And Kim's like, here I am trying to give her this Bible and she's being snarky. And then Chloe was like, oh my gosh. And so it was, it was a sweet.
B
But that would make sense why it would go to Chloe because Chloe is the most nurturing.
C
Well, but you know what, but they, but they say that about Kim too. They say Kim has a real strong exterior, but that she's really a softy and that she's very like, thoughtful in her gift giving. I believe that, like, she gives really, really thoughtful gifts. This new year, nothing hits like home cooking.

B
I watched a thing the other day. It was on probably on Instagram, you know, where I didn't get. Could barely hear the volume right, probably. But Chris was having to say what she had learned from each of her children.
C
Yeah, I think it was when she was on Chloe's podcast.
B
And you know, I can't stand to see Chris cry. If Chris cries, Todd's crying, I can't stand to see her cry. But when she started crying, I felt that because as I've said to you about our kids, each one of them have given me something different than what the others have ever given. And you know, Chris had her children, you know, like, you know, this was one section of her life, this was the next section. And, you know, it just kept going. And she talked about her, you know, that how friends of hers were having fertility issues and here she was throwing off kids in her 40s, right. And I just, I listened to her speak and if you just watch her face and her Eyes when she talks about her kids, you know, you see the love that she has there. And I've learned so much just from watching in my whole life. Just my whole life of watching things. Cause I'm a visual learner. But when I watched that clip that was on Instagram, I thought everything she says is the truth. Because I've learned something from each of our children. And I'm at a phase in my life right now to where I learn. Or maybe I'm just more open to learning and receiving what's being put in front of me. I like the fact that you snore and that you don't want finish an episode, but I'm learning to see that for what it is. Narcoleptics are. It's a situation. But I feel like that with. With Chloe. You know, Chloe has always. You know how I've always been about her. I just look at her sometimes and I just. Because I am. I am her big. One of her biggest cheerleaders because I just want her to succeed at every angle. And it's always because she. I feel like there's a. There's such a kindness.
C
Yeah.
B
About her. There's just this. There's just such a kindness and that. You're watching that episode.
C
Where Chloe.
B
Chloe has to go do this workout thing with Courtney. And Courtney tells her that. What's the boxing thing? The. What's the. What's the training thing? It's a guy's name. Shit, I forget the guy's name.
C
But anyway, they were boxing.
B
Well, they weren't. They were going to another opening of this guy's gym there in LA or something. And Courtney comes up to. Comes up to Chloe and she. Chloe's mumbling something. She goes, it doesn't matter. Chloe says, he's the. You know what? He is the first person that hurt my feelings and called me fat something. Boot camp. Barry's boot camp. That's it. Barry's boot camp. She said, you know, I still remember him saying that I was fat. So she remembered that all those years. And Courtney goes, it doesn't matter. He's dead anyway.
C
But he's not.
B
No, but Courtney did not know. As she passes along to Chloe, like, y' all do shit to me. And then I run with it, thinking I can trust her, right? So we start stopping. She said, well, he's dead anyway. And, you know, it was a bit snarky in the interview. The producer says, well, Barry's not dead. And she goes, what? Yeah, Wait a minute. He's not Dead. And she gets on the phone and calls Courtney. It was such a Crisley moment for something like that to happen. But the way she handled it and the way she handled that whole group text message, because, you know how we are.
C
Yes.
B
With these group text messages.
C
Yes.
B
And the way that, you know, Courtney said, you know, like, she just checked out.
C
Yeah. Because, you know, it's not. It doesn't serve me. It doesn't.
B
We have one of those. That's all time saying it doesn't serve.
C
Her, doesn't bring me.
B
Right.
C
It interrupts my peace.
B
Right. And so Chloe's like, what the fuck? Who the hell has peace at this point?
C
Right.
B
But I love that she's so direct and out there with whatever it is.
C
She's just listening. Say what you want to, because, yes, the Kardashians lead. Lead this very larger than life and extravagant to the 10th degree.
B
Right.
C
But she's just real, like, she's just real, like, you know, she's a real mom, she's a real sister, she's a real daughter, and I love that.
B
And I, I don't, you know, like I said, I don't like for her to cry. Chris just rips my soul out. I can't stand to see Chris cry.
C
So, folks, he really does watch reality.
B
I watch it with you. That's the show that we watch. And I. And I don't like to see Kim cry. I don't like to see Kim cry.
C
She used to ugly cry. She can ugly cry.
B
I don't like to see her cry. And Courtney, hell, I don't know if she's ever cried. I don't know if Gordon's ever cried. There's a hat for every head, right? And as Chris said, she learned something from each of each of her children. I have a new podcast coming out with Chase and Grayson and me. It's called Two Sons and Me. And so I'm really excited about that because it's going to give. I get to sit in a podcast format with two of my sons, and we get to talk about things that's going on in their generation compared to my generation, because, as you know, they sit and talk about, there are no women out there like you when they're looking to date, when they're looking for someone like their mom, because that's what I always tell them, find someone like your mother. And what is their favorite saying? Doesn't exist. And I believe that there are many women out there like you that have raised daughters the way that they were raised. So that's what I want Chase and Samantha. That's what I want Chase and Grayson to find. I want them to find a young woman that is committed to family, committed to faith, that wants to have. Wants to have children, that wants to. That wants to take care of our sons. The way that you have had, the way that you've taken care of me and our children. That's what I want for my boys. And so I think it's going to be a great podcast where we can sit there and have other young men on and other men in general of all age groups, because I'd like to have someone. I'd like to have someone that is 70 on there to talk about what their generation, you know, what was going on in their generation.
C
Right.
B
So I want to be able to have a great group of guys on that's going to talk about what their plight is in dating today or what it was like when you were dating, you know, in the 80s or in the 70s, and to try to help the country and young men and women get back to the core of what made America great. Because what made America great was those generations before us.
C
Absolutely.
B
I just feel like that it's going to be a great podcast, you know, to talk about all things guy that. That I think needs to be talked about and from a dad's perspective for them, because, you know, they're all the time saying, dad, this is whatever.
C
Right?
B
And they're all time having to tell me what these letters mean. And, well, dad, you need to go do this prime example yesterday with Savannah trying to get me set up on Zoom, and she tried to chastise us for not knowing what it was, and God stepped in and saved her feelings. She got me on Zoom, and she did get me on immediately, which was something you and I were taking the long way around to get to. She was able to, like, within two clicks, and I was up and running. So I'm excited about the new podcast with the boys. I'm excited for your cooking segments to start. And then our other big thing that's coming up that I can't talk about just yet. I'm excited about that.
C
Right.
B
And so I think that God has blessed us. This is our first Thanksgiving home in 28 months, and you have been in full swing. You have gone right back to where you left off. Folks, the kitchen counters are full. She's organizing everything for every item that she's making. So I'm excited.
C
That is a tip that I have. So, you know, I had a menu. I put that menu out to Todd and to Savannah. And I was like, is there anything you'd like to add or that we. You think we don't need? And there was a couple things that Savannah actually added. And then I take each item, and I see what I have in my pantry, what I need to add. And then I actually, like, have one counter, and I put everything. So everything for my turkey is right. Then, like, my macaroni and cheese is right here. My sweet potatoes are here. My broccoli salad's here. And it goes all the way down the line to the desserts. And it just helps me keep things organized so that. Okay. Once I make up whatever item it is, that goes off the list, and it goes off the counter.
B
Speaking of the list, I have to bring up in real time, what happened last night? So Judah was in the house all day. She wasn't leaving the house. You were getting things organized, cleaning up, getting stuff ready for Thanksgiving.
C
Right.
B
And then, of course, Savannah, who flew in, flew back from her receiving her award at Mar a Lago.
C
Yes.
B
Came back sick, as usual, because she had been traveling for a solid week. And every time she does that, she gets.
C
It really has been for. I feel like she's been traveling for a month or more. Really?
B
Well, yeah, because she went on her.
C
Trip back and forth and back and.
B
Forth, but, you know, she got sick doing that, and so she came back sick. But once Savannah's remotely. If she's, like, 50% well, then she's back up. Let's go.
C
Right.
B
Rather than going ahead and just resting and getting 100%, and she cannot sit still, so she comes over to create havoc with us because she needs her mama to go with her to do something. Where did y' all even go?
C
We had to go to at home.
B
What?
C
Yeah, it's just a store. Savannah had to return some things, some Christmas things.
B
Oh, yeah. I'm gonna talk about that story too. So then Julie is notorious for going to the grocery store and forgetting about four or five different things. And those four or five different things that she forgets was the four or five things she actually left to go buy. So you leave, they didn't have what you wanted or you forgot about it.
C
So that's not the truth.
B
Okay, then.
C
So the go ahead. This is the whole story. I went with Savannah to at home. Costco is right across the street. So I said, okay, we'll get this, because you sent me some things on Instagram of some salads and some things you wanted for dinner, and you're like, here, now, don't ask me what I want to eat. Here's a couple of recipes.
B
Because she's notorious for what do you want? And what do I always say?
C
He says, it doesn't matter. But then if I say, okay, well, then I'm gonna make this. Well, I really don't want that. So anyway, so he had sent me some recipes. And so of course, I had already went food shopping for Thanksgiving, but I didn't pick up those particular items. So I said, okay, I'll go with Savannah at home, and then we'll go across the street to Costco. Went across the street to Costco. Got what we needed, except for there was a few things at Publix. Well, Publix is right outside Costco. So went there. Savannah then says, mom, I really want you to make this strawberry dessert thing. And so I needed some frozen strawberries in juice. They didn't have them at Publix, so that meant a Kroger run. But you then call says, when are we gonna eat? So I knew that was my key, that you were starting to get hungry. So then I said, savannah, let's just go on home so that I can get dinner going. That's the real story. So there was a few items that I said, okay, you know what? I'll just have it delivered. I don't normally do that. I'm not a delivery kind of person. I'm like, I shop at Amazon and other. But as far as, like, my real food, I like to go. I like to touch my food. I like to see it. I like to check the date on the milk. I like to look at my lettuce fanatic. I like to make sure that it's fresh and all that. All the things, right? So I don't just normally have my stuff delivered, but last night I thought it was just a couple items. No problem, right? So I get home cooked dinner. We had nice dinner. Savannah ate with us. And then I get a notification that Savannah's like, mom, I want you to go and make one of these desserts tonight. See if it's good. I said, okay. Waiting on the strawberries. So I get a notification that it's been delivered. And there's a picture of the bags. There was two bags at the back.
B
Door, the side entrance, right?
C
Yeah. So I said, savannah, I just got notification. The stuff's here. Go out there and get it. She walks out there and she said, mama, it's not here. And I said, savannah, right? Here's the picture. Like, there was the picture showing it was there. She's like, mama, it's not here. So I walk out there, wasn't there.
B
This only happens to us.
C
So I said, well, that's crazy. Savannah's like, well, then I'm gonna notify them to tell them that the stuff's not. You know, we got a picture, but it's not here. I'm like, that's the craziest. Like, who wants strawberry? And those red apples that you like on the inside.
B
These are the greatest apples in the world. And she got me started on them two weeks ago, okay?
C
So it was. That's what it was. It was apples. It was the strawberries and I think some Jello. That was it. That was all that it was. It wasn't there, even though the picture was there. So Savannah gets on there, and she's like, mom, you can, like, dispute it and say you didn't get it. So, all right. So we go through the whole thing, disputing it, whatever, right? Well, then I'm walking by the front door, like, 30 minutes later.
B
She walked to the front foyer, which takes her by the front door, and.
C
The bags were at the front door.
B
After they'd already sent a picture of him being at the back door. And after she had filed the dispute.
C
Right. So I was like, this is weird. Like, this really weird. So I get it. Well, half the stuff's missing. It was supposed to be two things of strawberries, it was only one. Supposed to be two things of jello, it was only one. Then Todd gets this, like, crazy. He's like, oh, my God. Like, what if those. They've done something to those apples and they're not safe? And, like, whatever. Like, I guess he thought, like, they contacted the driver and was like, these people are complaining because they get their stuff.
B
It's like when you go into a restaurant and then someone or you're going through the drive through and you say, you like.
C
Like Todd does. Hot fries, please.
B
I only go to one McDonald's on Old Hillsborough.
C
They all know it's not old Hillsboro.
B
What is it called?
C
Hillsborough.
B
Hillsborough Pike. And they know what my order is, and so they always. They will even say, yes, Mr. Christy, the fries will be hot. Yeah, but, you know, Judah would always say, go ahead. You're gonna get spit in them.
C
Yeah, well, that's the way he would say, yes, can I. Hot fries, please.
B
I don't know that I said it exactly. He did say it, but every time you turn the TV on, there's some shit about fentanyl. Yeah.
C
So he goes straight that they put fentanyl in his apples.
B
So, Judy, I said, I don't think we should keep any of this stuff. I think you should throw it all away. And she goes, todd, I said, I don't care. I said, what if it has fentanyl in it? And she goes, what?
C
But listen then. Then, folks, listen to what he says. So if I go missing, I just want on this podcast Crystal Confessions 2.0 today. If I go missing.
B
Folks, it was a joke.
C
I'm just saying.
B
She said, fentanyl or Fentanyl or whatever the hell you say this stuff is. And I said, julie, people's mailing this shit. They're doing stuff all the time.
C
And.
B
And she goes, todd, there's no fentanyl. I said, then you take a bite of that apple, and if you don't start foaming at the mouth, then we can keep the apples. But if you start foaming at the mouth, I'm not going to try them. So, folks, she then takes all. These apples are what I consider to be expensive. You only get four. Anytime they're only giving you four in one bag, there's a problem. I grew up going to Long Creek Apple Orchard, and I got a bushel. But at any rate, after I said that, you know what she does? Picks them up like that and drops them in the trash can.
C
Yeah, well, I mean.
B
So you was not 100.
C
He was game for me to try it.
B
I was not.
C
We don't have, like, Narcan at our house.
B
Now, do you think? Do you think, first of all, you've never accused me of being dumb. You've never accused me of being stupid, Right? So then, if you do everything for me, wouldn't it make sense that a smart man would keep the person alive that does everything for it?
C
Yeah. So I'm not sure why you said, go ahead and eat that.
B
Because you was insistent that it didn't have fentanyl on it.
C
So I said, this was almost taking me back. See, I feel like Adam and Eve. See, Adam was probably telling her, eat that apple. Go ahead and eat that apple.
B
It was a. It was a woman who screwed it up from the beginning of time.
C
He probably said, now, no, baby, you go ahead and try it. And then if it's all right, then I'll take it.
B
Adam was walking the earth with his ding a ling swinging with no shame. And then Adam, Eve comes along, eats the damn apple, and all of a sudden, Adam has to run and get a fig leaf to cover up his ding a lang before that we was good with it swinging until y' all shamed us.
C
Oh, okay.
B
So that's where it comes from.
C
Okay. So now I guess he's still trying to pay me back, trying to get me to eat this apple fused with fentanyl that we don't even know what it is.
B
Me and you, Adam.
C
Oh, my gosh.
B
So that happened yesterday.
C
So I guess we've been just a little, like, we've been.
B
We've been having a lot of Little to happen, but just like.
C
Like, you know, just a little kind of fiery. I don't know.
B
But you and I, you really have. You've really been picking on me a lot.
C
Yeah, yeah. At this podcast, whatever. People will agree with me. Absolutely.
B
Oh, Jesus, take the wheel. So I wanted to address multiple things today. One, this whole gray divorce thing. Again, so many questions. Still are statements still coming in. There are so many reasons. And we talked about last week about this insurance and people's medical health and stuff.
C
Right, Right. Yeah.
B
Now, this one guy who's from Naples, Florida, sent me a message and said he and his wife have been married for 31. Second marriage for both. Both of them brought two children each into the marriage. He divorced his wife because he's obviously the one that had the money to begin with. He divorced his wife of 31 years so that her children would only so that he could make sure that his biological children got the bulk of his estate. And so the other two stepchildren could not lay claim to his estate.
C
That's crazy.
B
And so I went back to him and I said, so I'm curious because the message is like, three messages like this.
C
This is. Yeah, go ahead, sir.
B
And so I went back to him and I said, I'm just curious, where is your wife of 31 years? Oh, we're still together. They're still together. And because she would not agree to a property settlement from him while they were married, that would devoid her from any claims to his estate after. If he died. If he died before her. That's why he divorced.
C
So she's going to stay with him and take his money. I don't blame her. Stay with him and take it. I'd sweat his ass out.
B
Glad to know that she's told how she operates.
C
I would. I would. Because you've been married to somebody for 31 years and you're still. Still scheming, trying to figure out not to give them something.
B
I don't think it's scheming because. And I'm not, you know, like, first of All, I'm not running the risk of divorcing you and somebody else getting trapped with you. I want to look out for my fellow brothers out here. Don't worry. I'm taking a bullet for you.
C
Don't worry. Because it would never happen again.
B
But at any rate, the reason. Now, he didn't say this in so many words. I'm kind of putting this stuff together. Obviously, he doesn't have a great relationship with the two stepchildren.
C
Right.
B
Whose father is still living.
C
Right.
B
Whose father is a. What do you. He works for the union on the railroad or something?
C
Well, he just told all his business.
B
All in my thing right now.
C
His business. Okay.
B
Their father, pipe fitter. He's a pipe fitter with the railroad.
C
Okay.
B
And he says. A good man, he says, but he obviously doesn't. Has not been as successful as this man has been.
C
Right.
B
But the two children, the two stepchildren have remained very close with their father.
C
Right.
B
And have a good, healthy relationship with their father.
C
Yeah.
B
But to the point that the one daughter, he's got a stepdaughter. The one stepdaughter, anything he does for his biological children, even though she's not really close to him, she expects him to do for her.
C
Okay.
B
And I guess he just said, nah, I ain't doing that. You got a daddy. You make it clear. You got a daddy. And this is my daughter, and what I do for her is my business. And they got married, Julie, when he was like 12 and 13 years old. So, I mean, these kids. These kids were almost grown when they got married. So at any rate. But the wife, I take it, was always doing a lot of things that wives do. Even when there's not a broken or two families that have come together, wives still, it's just a normal. I have come to the conclusion that all wives, still, I literally have been robbed blind. But I think that his wife, when he would do something for his daughter, she would turn around and do it for her daughter from his money. But he wouldn't know about it.
C
Right.
B
And so the wife was trying to tit for tat.
C
Yeah.
B
Whatever his kids got, she's gonna make sure her kids.
C
Right.
B
Well, I don't agree with that because that's not his. That's his money.
C
No, you've been married to somebody for 31 years. That's your money. That's. That's the Yalls money. If you've been married to somebody for 31 years. No, I don't. I don't know.
B
I don't Agree. Because he came in. He came into the marriage with the.
C
Well, it doesn't. You don't. 31 years. No.
B
My friend Roy, who lives in Naples, who's told me all this.
C
I don't care. Well, good. I'm glad you do. But if you've been married to somebody for 31 years and you're still, oh, this is my money and this is. No.
B
No one said Roy said that.
C
No, obviously he did because he's worried. He's counting over here what his wife's spending.
B
He's worried about his kids getting what he worked for, which is the same with me. I am married to one of the biggest, nicest, kindest, sweet.
C
Go ahead. Because you've been lippy and really fiery in this podcast, so you better.
B
I have been married. I have done a life. I mean, I have been with this woman. Yeah, we've been to prison together. That tells you who we are. But I just don't think that he. Roy came into the marriage with. With wealth. Obviously. She didn't. She's lived a very good life, obviously, for 31 years. He paid for both of those kids to go to school.
C
He just tell you everything?
B
He and I've been talking for three days. He put those two kids through college. He is. He bought them their first vehicles.
C
Okay, so we get it.
B
Roy did it, but he didn't do the medical because the daddy had great insurance with the railroad or whatever.
C
Are you kidding me?
B
Right.
C
Okay, go ahead.
B
So my thing is, is that I just think Roy should be able to do with Roy's money what Roy wants to do. And if Roy wants his daughter and his son to have what he's worked for, they should have it. And the wife who was married to Roy, who's led. Who's led a very good life, he said that she's had a wonderful life. And obviously so much so that she got a. According to Roy, she got a very fair and equitable divorce.
C
So maybe she's using her money to. To do for her kids.
B
That's just happened in the last 12 months.
C
But this is her money at this point.
B
That's right. But going. Going back to your point, which you seem to in the past week not be able to stay on track with certain things. You just said that she should stay with him and get everything she should get. Typical gold digger response. But what I'm saying to you is, is that they have now divorced. She got. She got herself if he was such a bad person, not a good provider. She's now got her own little pocket of money. Why didn't she move on?
C
Because she gonna keep her money and still spend his.
B
I told Roy, I said, y' all need to maintain separate bank accounts.
C
And I said, you need to keep your nose out Roy's business.
B
Dutch, at this point, if you're going out to dinner and she's got half of your money, get your half back by making her pay half. Okay, we're going to work today for lunch.
C
No, I ain't going to lunch with you because you don't been too.
B
No, you're paying today.
C
No. And I ain't paying, and I ain't even going. That's the case with this today, folks.
B
So I was going to tell you that that came in. So I've been going back and forth with him about that great divorce stuff that you set the world on fire with, talking about. Then I wanted to address that. I receive literally thousands of messages a day. If your loved one is incarcerated in state prison. That's not what I do. I deal with the federal system because that's where I was. That's where I cut my teeth. That's where I learned. So I can't help you. At this present time, after the first of the year, I am touring several state facilities and through the governor's office there and through the prison control, the people that control the prisons and all that in those states. So give me a little bit of time. You got to give me some time to get my feet wet as far as it comes to state prisons. Julie, you want to join us for this podcast?
C
I did. I'm listening to you. My son is picking up something that I had ordered in Birmingham to bring home, and he had a quick question.
B
Oh, I bet you that was Grayson that she stopped the podcast for. You know, the one that she's. Is not her favorite.
C
That's not true. I'm not stopping your podcast. So I was listening everything you said.
B
I can't help you right now, but after the first of the year, I will be cutting my teeth on. On state prisons. If. And I have to say this.
C
If.
B
You come to me and you ask for help, I know that God says that we are to have a forgiving heart and that to grant forgiveness, you've. In order to be forgiven, you gotta forgive. If you are a child molester, don't hit me up. Don't hit me up. And I don't feel like I'm going to hell for that, because you didn't ask me to forgive you. So therefore, it's not my job to forgive somebody who's not asked for it. Don't hit me up. Don't send me your reg number. Don't say that you've been cheated out of six months of this or whatever. Don't think you should be cheated out of anything. Think you need to be treated in our country, you're supposed to be treated fairly. If I was the director of prisons and I was housing child molesters.
C
Well, they're not getting FSA anyway, right?
B
Yes, they do. The certain, certain, certain certain situations allows that. And a new provision, a provision that's in there that no one was adhering to is getting ready to start happening and it actually is going to help men with gun charges and other, other things as well. So it's going to ultimately be left up to the wardens as to whether or not you, you can get that.
C
That's kind of scary though.
B
No, not under the director, Billy Marshall and Josh Smith. Because Josh Smith is writing that and he's. Josh has proven he's going to keep a firm hand on the wardens. He's going to make sure that if you're not submitting these people, I want to know why.
C
Right.
B
So, but just to go back to it, don't go to go to God, not Todd. If you're a child molester, go to God, not Todd.
C
I agree with that.
B
So I'm not going to help you if you have physically assaulted a woman, go to God, not Todd. Yeah, because I'm not going to help you and I don't want to waste my time with it. So I'm just being 100% upfront with you. The want to talk about that. Also wanted to just kind of touch on something that came to me last night and I read it this morning and it really was, it really was a very eye opening statement and it said that you, that grace, you truly epitomize grace. When you face a situation that doesn't allow you, that doesn't remove you from your center. That when someone is provoking you or saying harmful things about you or telling mistruths or whatever and you can respond in kindness, you have not been moved from your center. That is the epitome of grace.
C
I think it's growth too. It's hard. It's hard, yes. Even like today we've been bantering more than normal, like kind of going back at each other.
B
Well, but you've been itching for a fight. You get like that sometimes. And you know, and I have tried my best, I have tried even the.
C
Sound engineer over here is like, what in the world?
B
She's got this poor kid so shell shocked. She does it to me. I understand why he's this way, but I'm trying to show more grace in my life, especially in my marriage. And when you've led a life of 31 years almost and been abused.
C
Don't even say that on here. For people to think they know that's not true.
B
Y' all know that I'm kidding.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
B
But, you know, I do think that you have to get to a place, and I really feel like in my heart and my soul and my spirit that I am on that path. I really do. You have to get to a place to where someone else's version of events may not be your version of events, but they may need that to be their version of events in order for them to be okay with how they got there. And I have realized that in this message that I got this morning was talking about showing grace. And so I want to be able to say today that I want to be better at showing grace. I want to be better at not allowing people to push my buttons. And there's very few people that can. And ultimately, at the end of the day, the ones that can push your buttons the most are the ones that you care the most about. And when you're hurt by someone that you care about and that you love, when you're hurt by that person that causes you to strike out. And I'm guilty of it, and so many people are guilty of it. So I want to be better in regards to not allowing you to push my buttons. And when I say you, yes, I'm talking about her. When I say you, I'm saying to all the people in the world that are battling and especially here during the holiday season, because, you know, that's the worst time in the world, that I wish you all peace. I want you to find happiness in your life. And sometimes in life, and this was hard for me to get to. Sometimes in life, you just have to see it for what it is.
C
Yeah.
B
You can't change it.
C
You can't change people.
B
No, you can't change it. You can't make it be what you want it to be. And we all want situations to be serving for our purpose. And when things don't serve our purpose, then we get defensive and we say, that's wrong. Or, this person did this. This person did that. So the reason I'm talking about that is because I've been asked so many times this week when Are you going to address certain things? When are you going to talk about this? And when you're. When are you going to talk about this? I'm not. I'm not. I've talked about certain things long enough. There's only so many ways that you can say that isn't true. There's only so many ways you can say, I didn't do that. There's only so many ways that you can say, I'm sorry, you know, and at some point, you just get to the place to where you're good with.
C
Where you are just letting it go.
B
And just letting it go. So I'm not going to.
C
Certain things you have to let go and know that one day you might revisit them. But right now, it doesn't serve anyone to keep it going.
B
Right? And, you know, and I think that you always are that person that is, you know, everyone in the family looks at Julie as, you know, the glass is always kind of half empty. But in regards to certain things about how to deal with emotions, you are probably better at that than what I am, because you don't strike back, right? Me and Savannah and Chase and Grayson, we're firing back at you. I want to be better at that. I want to be more Christ. Like, maybe more Julie. Like in just that one instance, that one regard. I want to be more like that. I want to be able to. To be able to say, now, why did they do that? And then go on kind of like.
C
How I have, like, for 30 years been like, yeah, okay, Todd.
B
I don't know if I want to do all that, okay? Because, I mean, that would just be total opposite of who I am. Because, listen, I don't want people to get me. Get. Get me confused.
C
Because I'm saying you're getting weak and soft.
B
I am saved. I'm not soft. So just remember that I'm saved, not soft. But I think that for me, this message that I got this morning that was talking about grace and talking about being faithful, you know, and faithful is not just being faithful to God's word. Faithful is also about being faithful to who you are, being faithful to you. And if you take care of you, you're going to be a much better, healthier person and be able to offer help to others and help them better.
C
You can't give what you don't have.
B
You can't give what you don't have. And, you know, one of our dear friends, Sherry, has said for years, you know, that, you know, you've got to feed yourself. You Feed yourself spiritually, you know, in the Word. And, you know, and you know, I love her dearly, and I used to look at her sometimes and I'd say, sherry, snap out of it. There's not a time for this right now. Now is the time you cuss them out. And what would she do? She would not waver. She got back in her Bible and she prayed. And so I do believe that if anyone is going to heaven, Sherry Thrift Bradshaw is going to clog her way into the gates of heaven.
C
Yes.
B
And I hope that if she goes first, that she keeps that door cracked for me, and then I'll try to pull her through. But I do want it to. I do want to be able to show more grace, and I want to be better. I don't want to be so confrontational about everything because I just don't feel at 57, that I need to be that confrontational anymore. Go do you do whatever you want to do. I'm going to do me. And if what I'm doing for me that you can benefit from, that's great. That's a double blessing. If you're over here acting crazy and stupid, dating people I don't agree with, you signed up for that. That's your journey, and you're going to have to suffer the consequences of that journey. And when I say suffer the consequences, you might benefit from that journey. You know, I like to say that in my life, I have gone back and I've had such deep reflection over so many things that I thought were traumatic in my life and things that have happened to me and experiences and confrontations and what have. And, you know, I'd be so angry about this. I'm not angry about those things anymore because I have gone and found something that made me better in that situation. And I just. I do feel stronger as a. As a man, as a man in his faith, as a father, as a husband. And God knows that I'm strong. I have been married a long time, and I've endured a lot.
C
You need to be practicing that grace.
B
I'm gonna show some grace right now.
C
Yes.
B
To my beautiful wife. So I did want to. I did want to kind of touch on those things. Then I wanted to let you know that I posted two workout videos we all know on my Instagram, because, you know, Savannah seems to be bothered that I post my workout videos with her brother, so now I tag her in all of my posts. Not that I'm petty. I'm not. I just want to be inclusive.
C
Yeah. Okay.
B
I want to be inclusive.
C
Okay. Well, folks, you know you can always keep up with Todd via Instagram and his workout videos.
B
There you go.
C
There you go. We're going to be ready to go when the new year comes because we have worked this up on everything that we're going to do to grow and be better for January.
B
Yes. And we're gonna go. One of our trips that we're gonna take in this upcoming year is to Amsterdam where they have these sex workers in the.
C
Okay, okay, okay. We have reached the end. We have reached.
B
Well, I was just gonna tell them.
C
No, we're good, we're good, we're good.
B
We're just gonna part time.
C
We're good, we're good, we're good.
B
To let you know that all still.
C
Works, I want you to go and practice your grace for this week, okay?
B
You're buying lunch. Okay, folks, that's showing grace. See now when the cameras go off, she's gonna say, buy your own damn lunch. So until next week, good luck and God bless. Days of pluto tv.
