This is the Southern Tea with Lindsey Chrisley.
Podcast Host Lindsay
I think it's so funny when you get Christmas cards and all of these people write their children's accomplishments on the back. I don't love them.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
A Southern girl and a boy mom
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
who's trying to navigate life while staying
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
true to her roots.
Podcast Host Lindsay
I am a functioning non functioning human being right now. Join Lindsay each week as she swears to spill the tea, the whole tea
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
and nothing but the tea.
Podcast Host Lindsay
That is the tea.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Here's Lindsay. Good morning and welcome back to another episode of the Southern Tea. Good morning Fancy Fay.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, good morning to you Queen.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I'm going to jump right in this. This is called Nanny's Advice and I sometimes don't like to take it or hear it, but other people do. First question is, what is your favorite Bible verse?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Jesus loves me.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That is not a Bible verse.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, that's what always stands out in me. I know he loves me and never will leave me nor forsake me.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
My favorite is trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean on your own understanding in all your ways. Submit to him and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3, 5 and 6.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I just always know that Jesus loves me and he's going to take care of me. He's going to walk with me. He said I will never ever leave you. So I always know that.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Have you always Believed in God always.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
My whole life since you were born. I grew up with that, and it stayed with me my whole life.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Were you in church every week?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
You know what four things my grandmama told us, and I was little, four years old when I went to live there. You know what they were now like? My mama was her second child, so some of them had already left and went on the jobs. And maybe five or six of them were still at home when she took me and my little brother. Do you know what the four things that she always told us she weighed less than 100 pounds. World size four shoe. She said, now, girls, there's four things that we're going to do in this household. So when we learn them, then we'll all be in. Okay? She said, you gonna mind, you're gonna work, you gonna go to school, and you're gonna go to church. So those are four things that was my foundation in my life, and I still abide by every one of them. I'm gonna work. I'm not gonna let nobody tell me what to do. Now if I'm on a job, well,
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
then that's not minding. So you're not doing well, I live
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
at boss at home when I. When I married, but I'm on a job and my boss asked me to do something, then I'm going to do it. But now for somebody trying to dominate me and tell me to do something that I'm not going to do that
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
well, you didn't mind on Chris Lee knows best.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I'm already grown now. I don't need nobody to know. What that I'm grown.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, that was your boss.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Oh, well, they really want my boss. I'm my own boss.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I got. Okay, people want updates on your health. So can you give us any new health updates?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, you know, I had cancer in 2021. I'm in remission. I'm doing well. I kicked that cancer to the curb and I'm moving on. I'm 80 years old. I still drive. I still think. I still know all my bank accounts. I know all that. God's been good. He just let me rest a little bit and then I got moving again.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Bless your heart. A lot of people are asking about you getting a new place. I have no idea how people knew that you moved somehow. But how are you liking your new place? And do you miss your old home in Nashville?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I kinda did that to myself because one day, you know, after the hard freeze, it killed all the shrubberies. So we only had a certain Amount of time to get them back, which is going to be about $20,000. Well, they went up on HOA. Then taxes goes up, insurance. I said, I think I'm going to sell this place. That was the end of it. Well, Sassy went off with her friends and they was talking about they had buyers that wanted to buy out in West Haven. They. There wasn't anything for sale. She said, well, I know one might be for sale. And they said, who? They said, nanny. She said, nanny said, she's gonna sell hers. They said, oh, she ain't gonna sell hers. She said, well, I'll find out. I was on the way to Florida. They called. She called me and she said, nanny, do you really wanna sell your place? I said, yeah, I'm gonna get rid of it and in a little bit. She called me back and asked me the combination to get in it. And I told her they sold it the next day. Well, I love my place where I live at. My neighbors are real sweet to me. They're young and they see about me just like they did out in West Haven. And people in West Haven, they always won't know if I'm going to come back. I said, you never know what I might do. But everybody's good to me. Everything's closed. I have all kinds of restaurants now. Not that I go to them a lot, but I got a Publix next door, so they're good to me. So I have to be happy where I go.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you feel like it's an easier place for you to keep clean and not have to worry as much?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, because, you know, I like to play all day. You know, I get up and wipe and play, so it's no different. I just don't have as much room to put up my things. But that's okay. I have plenty of room to play, not as much to do. And, you know, I can park my car in the garage, come up the elevator, and I'm at my door. So, you know, I guess they want me to think that I'm older than I think I am, so I just got to move on. I just get up if I decide to go somewhere today, I do, and if I don't, I don't.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Next question is, what frustrates you the most about your grandkids generation?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Lazy.
Podcast Host Lindsay
Lazy.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I'm not lazy.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, but you're an exception. A lot of people my grandkids age, you know, they don't have a lot of motivation and they won't sleep and go, you know, not on time.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
They don't.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
They want to have a set time to go to work at 8, 9 o' clock and finish at 5 or 6 or 7. No, they don't. These younger, I call them millenniums.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Millenniums?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, that's what I call them. I said they don't know nothing. They just think they do.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you feel like more millennials are wanting to be entrepreneurs working on their own schedule?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, sometimes it works for them, sometimes it don't. But most times it's not going to work for them.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So you think that your grandkids generation is lazy?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, they are. Because if I could have made the money back in my day at their age, they know telling what I might own today.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What do you think you would own?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
There's. I don't even. I don't even know. The sky would be the limit to have to be able to make up. I started out at 95 cent an hour. I worked.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
On your first job?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
On my first job, I worked six days. I brought home $42 a week.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That is crazy.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
That's what I did. I worked my senior year in high school on a real job and graduated and then I worked and saved enough money to buy my first car when I was 22 years old.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you remember how much Your first car?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
$2,700.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
$2,700.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
63 Chevrolet Impala.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Did you love it?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I loved it. I go out and sit in and look at it.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Was it brand new or brand new? And did you feel so proud of yourself?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I felt proud of myself. I still feel proud of myself when I do something good by myself. That's why I said, you know, I was living with my grandparents. I was raised on a farm where we pick cotton, pull sugar cane, pulled corn, pick peas. We did it all. Had a dairy farm, built cows by the hand. Not go hook it up and let some milky. We did it by hand.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Could you still do it today?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I did. I proved to y' all I did it. Don't you remember? I did it on Christy's bed.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Okay, the next question is going to be a sad question. How are you doing after losing Miley?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I'm still sad that that broke my heart. I knew it was going to happen someday, but she was good for me and I was good for her. She was hanging on for me and I'm hanging on for her. And do I love her? Yes, I love her dearly and sassy. You know what she told me after about a week or two, she called up one day and I was having a Bad day about her. And I was crying. She said, now, Nanny, now you've got to get past this. Now. Things do happen and I know that you miss her, but if you want another dog, I buy you one. I hope if I die that you just said, well, when I go, that's how cruel she wanted to be with me about Molly. Sometimes I can't help but cry.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Now, would you like to tell the listeners of the Southern Tea what that night looked like when you lost Miley?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, honey, y' all don't. If you love a dog or your pet as much as I loved her, that's an awful thing. That doctor come out there and she said, I wish, Nanny, I could take her back there and give you three more years with her, but I can't. And I know that you love her, so you love her as long as you want to, but you don't need to take her home because she's not going to make it through the night. She's already.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Her organs were failing, her kidneys were
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
gone and I didn't want her to suffer, but I didn't want to be put to sleep either. And they came out there about three or four o' clock in the morning and my other granddaughter was with me, Amber. And they said, nanny, you dishold her love for as long as you want to. But I tell you what we can do that will help Miley, is we won't give her nothing to put her to sleep. We'll just give her a little something like we're going to do a little surgery and she'll be gone. And when you feel like you can, you let your granddaughter bring her back there and said, you don't have to see it. Well, about 4 or 5 in the morning, you know, I can't just keep holding on. But I gave her to Amber. Amber said it didn't take two seconds. But I love her. Y' all had her cremated. I got her sitting on my desk next to my chair. I know it's stupid, but I tell her good night every night, that I love her and when I go, she's going with me. And I know that y' all want to buy me another dog, but. But I don't want another dog. I had one husband and one dog and she's the love of my life. Am I saying. But I got to get over it and I got to move on. She ain't coming back. But she gave me a lot of happy years when I needed and I was good for her. And they told me, Nanny, I got cars for my doctors, veterinarians, said nanny, you know, that she probably was the longest Yorkie alive. But the reason she had a good life, she wasn't abused and thrown around. But if a kid come, you know, I'd go lock her up. I didn't let nobody fool with her. And you know, I just have to, you know, like my Randy told me, mama, you can pull her up and watch her on tv.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That's right.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
And so I got tons of pictures of her and she will always be dear to my heart.
Podcast Host Lindsay
All right, y', all, let's talk about cooking at home because that's something that I have been doing a lot of over the last couple of weeks.

Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
For people who have not walked this journey yet, how do you feel like you would give somebody advice on how to handle their grief?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Losing a pet, it's almost like losing a member of your family. Mm. I know that's crazy you to say that about an animal, but that love that they give to you and the love that you give for them, I just don't know how you explain it. And my heart goes out to anyone that has to lose their pet because it's not no easy journey. And it's still not easy for me because when me and her travel together, as I travel, I look over there and she's not in that, right beside me. And sometimes she'd look at me and wiggle that little tail and I'd stop, let her go to the bathroom, give her some water. And whenever we go to casinos, I put her in that little Vera Bradley bag and up that elevator we went. Wherever we went, she was in that Vera Bradley bag. We went together everywhere. And you know, when I traveled working, I never let nobody keep her except Randy. I'd take me all day to take her to him, meet him, and it take me all day to go back and get her when he come home. But I didn't leave her with nobody.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you have any anger towards me for making you go to the emergency vet?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, because I knew she couldn't walk. I knew I had to make that decision. I had to take her because I knew something was wrong with her. And I got that picture of her laying up here and I knew I had to do something with her. And you know, I took her to the doctor all the time. She was fine that morning and then she fell over and she couldn't stand up. So I knew she was sick. But you know what? God didn't make her suffer too long.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That's right. Onto a happier question. We recently had an episode on the Southern tea that we discussed Thanksgiving dishes. And my friend that was on the episode with me, Kristen said that she has never heard of mayonnaise and fruit salad. And people want us to defend the mayo and fruit salad. And what are some of our other favorite holiday recipes?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, honey, I've never known nobody to make fruit salad. How do you hold it together?
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
People said yogurt.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, now, you know, the addict's mayonnaise and a little bit of sugar and that fresh freeze fresh, fresh fruit.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Yeah, fruit fresh.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, fruit fresh that you put on it makes it a lot better. I guarantee you. You could eat something that I fix and. And then someone that put yogurt on it and they gonna like mine a whole lot better now because you know what? Most people's got a taster. Yeah. And if it don't taste good, you don't want it.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So true.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Have you ever been. Now your whole life you've been with us, have you ever seen anyone ever come to my house on a holiday? Or whenever we had fruit salad that it wouldn't eat up and everybody always liked it.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Yeah, it's one of my favorite dishes on the table. I think it's absolutely delicious. But people think it's asinine to put mayonnaise on fruit.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I didn't say put a gallon. You just put a little bit and a little spoonful of sugar. Fresh fruit to keep it from turning dark. Stir it up, you got something that's really good with dressing and Mac and cheese and green beans.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
It's a crowd pleaser.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Like I said, I've never known no one to not like it, so I'd hate to for them to have not liked it after they eat the plate and the bowl too.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What are some of your other favorite holiday recipes? Just things that you would cook just during the holidays.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, see, I grew up as a country girl, so mostly what we have on Thanksgiving we have all year long. So it's not like we just dedicated that one day because, you know, like a lot of people like potato souffle. Well, you know, most of my grandbabies rather made a candy sweet potatoes. And I have those all the time. And you know, I cook green beans, I make Mac and cheese, I make a fruit salad just on occasions when whatever the mood hits today, that's what I. I might fix. So I don't wait for a holiday, I just wait for the taste. Because my husband used to say, I said, what would you like for me to cook for dinner today? He said, why would you ask me something like that? You gonna cook exactly what you want and I'm gonna eat it. So he never didn't know what we was gonna have. So I told him, come to the table and let's see.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I think people really think it's crazy too. I said, you make dressing? Sometimes. Other times of the year, not just holidays.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, we have it anytime we. We think about it, that we want it, especially in the wintertime.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you like stuffing?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, I'd rather have the dressing.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Why don't you like stuffing?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, see, I don't want no stuffing. It's like in a is made up like that. I've just always done my own. So. See, my taste is not for that.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
But isn't stuffing. My taste is not for that. Is stuffing not what's in the cavity of a bird?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Oh, I'm not gonna eat none of that. I don't like that.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Why not?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I guess it's good, but I'm not gonna make up a bunch of stuff and put it Inside of a turkey. I'm just not gonna do it. All I'm gonna do is put a stick of butter in it when I get ready to put it in the oven to roast it. But I'm not going to put no stuff in. I mean, people. The pilgrims. That's what they said they did, but I don't know what. Along with the Pilgrims. But I don't do that. I never have.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
If you were on death row and it was your last day and you could pick your last final meal, what would you choose?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, if I was on death row, I probably wouldn't want no final meal.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, that's not the question you have to answer.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I. Get me some turnip greens and cornbread.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That's what you would want.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Some fried turnips.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Turnips or collards?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, turnip greens or collards. Either one.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Is it the same thing?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, collards is you cook them different. You know how I cook them with the spare ribs with the collards. Take the step. You know, a lot of people use the cut the stalk in them. You know, I cut my stalk out.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Yeah. Most restaurants that you go to have the stalk in it.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
But say, I don't see, I don't want to throw a big old stalk in mine. You know, I cut that out and roll them up and cut them.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What is your favorite dessert to make during the holidays?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, yeah, I used to make a German chocolate cake all the time because it was Todd's favorite. You know, I don't like that, but he loves it. And you bake a fresh coconut cake.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I don't like that either.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, you can tell by looking at you. You don't like much sweets. We do. So I make cheesecake, banana pudding. I make a lot of different things.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I would say my favorite holiday gathering dessert would be a homemade banana pudding. Not the cold kind.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No. Well, we don't. We don't do that.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you remember when dad and Julie first started,
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I'd love to have a banana pudding? She goes in there and gets that pud mix and fixes it. She thought she's doing good. Brought him some in there. He said, what's that? That's banana pudding. I don't want none of that. There ain't no banana pudding.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So we make our banana pudding in the oven, and it's hot with meringue, and it is so good. And then my other favorite dessert would be a chocolate delight.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Oh, I love chocolate delight. I make that a lot. Not just on a holiday. I just make that anytime we'll have
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
to give everybody the recipe for the chocolate delight because I feel like anybody could make that.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
It's not hard. You just take flour and butter and nuts, pecans chopped up real, real fine, and you make a mixture and you pat it out on the and you casserole. You put it in the oven for about 12 minutes till it gets kind of barely browning. You let it get cool. Then you take, I can't remember exactly how much, but I know you take cream cheese and powdered sugar and vanilla and you mix it together and you spread over it once it gets cold, then you take a big package of chocolate pudding in the milk and then you get it and you put over the top of it. Once that other has settled of the top of it, then you take Cool Whip and put over the top of it. If you want to be real fancy, you can take your few nuts or you can take a Hershey bar and take your grater and just put over the top of the Cool Whip, make it look pretty.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Oh, I like the fancy looking one. Okay, which family should a couple prioritize first during the holidays? And how do you decide which where
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
you should go to your family?
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Yeah, like let's say dad and Julie get married and then holidays come around. Whose family gets prioritized?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, who? The one that went save Judy, went to her parents on Thanksgiving and come to me later. I'll accept that. But come Christmas they got to come to me first.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Yeah, but what about the families? Why can't we normalize that we're not just driving around for the holidays?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, most time everybody come to me. So we didn't have to go into other places.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
No, but for the people that do have to do that, like that's stressful to have to go to one set of parents and then another set of parents in the same day.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, they should appreciate it because they not having to do nothing much because those parents have already done all the work. All you got to do show up and, and be appreciative and eat and get on with your life.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So do you feel like Todd's family should be prioritized?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, not really. Because I'm not no selfish person. Like I said, if she went to Pam and Harvey's on Thanksgiving, that's fine and good. I was second choice. And then come Christmas I'm first choice and then you come and eat with me. Then go on, eat wherever you want to. It doesn't matter.

But like during a family holiday, that's a lot of personalities. Just think about my dad's family with his five children. That's a lot of personalities to combine in a room. How do you successfully do that?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Pay them no attention. You just go do you and what they're talking trash. You don't want to hear it, Just move on. You don't have to chime in. Just let them get go the next. And they yakking to get them yak too. You know what, you know what you stand for, you know what you believe in. And if they don't believe in the same thing you do, that's okay. Because if I don't see eye to eye.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you think that politics, finances and religion should be discussed during family gatherings?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, because it's nobody's business who I'm going to vote for. It's nobody's business how much money I got. And I'm not going to tell you on any of them. And so religious I want to keep most everything kind of is the best that we supposed to live by as I can. So now I'm going to let you know about that regardless. It doesn't matter whether you like it, lump it or whatever. I'm just going to tell you what we need today.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you feel like you have all the right answers?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Always. I'm never wrong.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Never?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No. I don't know when I could be wrong. I've done, lived and done it well.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Where did you get that mindset? Have you had it your whole life?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I ain't always said I know to everything. When you've traveled that long, long road, you've learned a lot. Do you know how many presidents that I have seen in my time? A bunch. Do you know how much change I have seen in my time? Yeah, you do some good. Some's not so good.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
You've been alive for a very long time to say that you made $42 a week. Think about that today they give you
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
that in a tip. Can you imagine? I wouldn't never went home
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
actually. Speaking of tips, what do you think is the best tipping etiquette?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I do 20%. 20% tip, whatever my bill is 20%.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I do 20% too. What do you think about these card readers now? Like let's say you go to fast food and you're at McDonald's. You go in, you order your food and it ask for gratuity. Are you tipping on that or. No, but it's like a pressure.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, listen, I gotta work, too.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, I know, but do you not feel like that's just like the tip culture is so crazy now?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, I don't. I feel like if you wait on me, then you earn that tip, but if you up there pushing in something that. I said I wanted a chicken biscuit and senior coffee. Yeah, they're paying you to do that? So I don't owe you no tip?
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Yeah.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think I'm wrong.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I always tip on everything because I don't want anybody to judge me or say that I'm being.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, now she don't care what people say about me. I've never had that problem.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I know, but what if somebody was just like, oh, that is cheap.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I said, well, you didn't tell me to my face. So I. I don't care what you thought.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So what you're saying is you will never tip for a Big Mac?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No. That's all I can do to buy a Big Mac. You think I'm gonna go tip them? No, I'm not.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Oh, my God. Okay, when is it acceptable to start decorating for Christmas? And I have a very hard stance on this.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
After Thanksgiving, not before.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That's my stance, too. Separate the holidays.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
That's exactly.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Why do you need to be looking at Christmas trees when you're eating Thanksgiving dinner?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
That's not the way it is. We supposed to be worried about when the Pilgrims came here? When Thanksgiving we gonna give thanks? That's a whole different thing than Christmas. Christmas is Jesus's birthday. Yeah, and that's when we'd be celebrating his birthday, not what the Pilgrims brought for the Thanksgiving. No, that's not. I have. Each one has a different meaning to me.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
And they should be separated. Right?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
They should be separated.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What do you think about the people that put their Christmas tree out, like, in early November?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, if that's what they want to do, that they have a choice. But that's not my choice, and that's not what I believe in. Yeah, maybe they've gotten sidetracked along the way and they feel like they right and we're wrong. Well, that's okay. You just go right on doing what you doing. But I'm not gonna do that.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
See, I just feel like I don't wanna see the decorations that long.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, we always put hours up the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Growing up the Sunday after Thanksgiving, we ate Then we went to the woods and got us a cedar tree and we put it up and then we took it down the day after New Year's. Mama never took it down before New Year's.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So I take my tree down the day after Christmas because no, no, we didn't do that.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
And I just gotta stick with what I grew up.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, you're not even letting me finish. Why do it? I'm doing it because I have a child that's born four days after Christmas. So then I don't want him to feel like we're still celebrating Christma and it's his birthday.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, he probably thinking about that Christmas tree he's thinking about. And he ain't even thinking about what he's gonna get for his birthday. Because birthdays every day. Birthdays is for people that just get something for their birthday, not somebody get something every day.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Why are you saying he gets something every day?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, Lindsay, children now don't understand. Christmas used to be something special. You got to celebrate. You got a little something different, more than you used to get every day. Now children has something every day, then the parents don't go get it. They get mad. But think about it. They're not doing their children no justice by doing that.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Are you preaching to me?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I'm preaching to anybody because I feel like that's the truth. Because they don't grow up to appreciate nothing.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you feel like Jackson has too much?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I'm not going to say that I feel like he has too much, but because he's just blessed to have parents that can give it to him. But I don't say that you're supposed to go out and just buy, buy, buy, buy, just because you can.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What did your children get for their birthdays?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
They always got something special. And whatever they wanted for Christmas. One thing that they wanted, they always got.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
And then you picked the rest. Or they got one gift.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, they always had a Christmas, they always had a birthday, but we didn't have money to go buy something. Every day I tell mine, I say, we're going in so and so. And you better not ask for nothing because I don't have the money. And if you go in here and show it, I'm going to tear your tail up. So I didn't have a problem.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Didn't anybody show out?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What do you want for Christmas?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
What do I want for Christmas? I don't really know of anything that I really, really want for Christmas. Because I'm blessed every day. I have my health, I have great Friends, great fans, a great family that loves me and I love them. So I got enough old clothes to last me till I'm gone. So I'm good.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you want a Yorkie?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, I don't want nothing. I don't want no dog. No.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Are you sure?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Positive.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Is that your final answer?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
That's my final answer. I don't want no dog.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What are you most excited for in the new year?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, to see everybody happy, prosperous in health and happiness.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
If you had to pick one word for your New Year's resolution word, what would it be?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I pray for prosperity and health.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That's two words.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, that's. I got to have two. I can't just say one. Don't. I don't know how to put it together, but it makes. It brings me joy to see people happy and are prosperous and they were have a good work ethic. There's nothing makes me happier now because I'll help you if you do that, but I can't help you if you just want to lay around and don't want that. That's just. I can't hard stand there. I gotta go.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
You don't want to be around people like that?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, I have to go. I want a job now and I'm 80.

Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Can we briefly talk about laundry a little bit?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yep. You won't talk about laundry.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Who are the two worst laundry doers that you know?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Two of my granddaughters, Lindsay and Savannah.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
You can never get caught up.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
You could, but you got to get up every morning or at nighttime when everybody pulls off their clothes and gets her bath, go put something in the laundry.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, that's time for bed.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, you're not washing. You just was smart enough to go put in the machine and start it up. And then if you go to bed, then when you get up, then go in there and put them in the dryer and then get ready to go on your job. And then by the time you get dressed, those clothes are most likely dry. Then you fold them up and put them where they belong. Now, I don't do stuff like that. That just tears me up. I have to have a place for all things.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, why do you get so upset with our laundry skills?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Oh, well, y' all didn't grow up like that. And I can't see clothes. A load or two of clothes laying has not been done, so I can't do that.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, if you have other stuff to do, I'm not gonna just, like, stay home.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, when you come in, first thing you do when you come in from whatever you have done today. Now, you only got Jackson one week. Will's got him a week, so you're not gonna have that much. But whatever's in that laundry basket, I know there's three or four towels after three or four days. So you go put them suckers in the washing machine and get them washed, folded up, and put where they belong in a washcloth.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What do you think that I could do to help me with my laundry when you get.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I just told you, when you get ready for bed, if you've got three or four Pieces going there. Don't worry about the water because these machines now controls the water. And wash them. And then when you get up, brush your teeth and you're getting ready to go to work, Go in there and put them in a dryer.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Would you like to tell people what you've been doing for the last 24 hours?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Cleaning up a laundry room.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
How long has it taken you to clean up that laundry room?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
A day. And I still got work to do. Why does it not on dirty clothes? It's just clothes that hadn't been put up.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, it's hard.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah. But now when I look, when I leave that laundry room is going to be. Everything's put up. Now all you got to do is continue. Don't fold up them clothes and leave them laying in there. And all those cabinet spaces, go put them where they belong.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What are those cabinets for?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
To put things away. But not your clothes. Those are for laundry detergent. For things that you don't like. Those book bags that I put in one of them. Because you don't need those books.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
You've been organizing my house?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, I've been putting those book bags up. I've been putting everything up.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, how am I going to find it?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Open a drawer or a door and you'll find it.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you feel like that? That is invasive.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, I just feel like I'm trying to help you out.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I walked in my door this morning and nanny had all this laundry folded on my kitchen counter. And she said, when we get home, we're putting all this stuff away.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah. You know what my mama told us? Everything has a place and it needs to be in that place.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I don't know how Savannah and I got the way we got with laundry.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, because your mom, Julie went to bed doing laundry and got up a doing laundry.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Maybe that traumatized us.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, it don't excite y'. All. It don't bother y'? All?
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
No, it doesn't. Because it'll eventually get done.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, but I. I'd have a stroke.
Eggland's Best Narrator
Why?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I cannot stand that. I can't stand mess.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Who's got the worst laundry room, me or Savannah?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, it'd be a close tie.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
A close tie. Do you tell her the same things
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
you tell me every day?
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Every day she has to listen to that.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
If I go over there and say any laundry and I go in there, first thing I do when I go in over, I go to laundry room. And she's got two washing machines, two dryers.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I was going to close my laundry room door. So you didn't see it.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Why would you do that? Because you know, you're ashamed of it when you got to close the door.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
No, I mean, I just don't want you to see it because I know
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I don't want to listen to what's not going to be like you. But you need to be like me.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I know. I'm going to. I'm going to work harder on it. Once you get it in order, then I'll keep it up. And I will start sending you daily photos of my laundry room.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
And when you get two or three pieces of clothes that needs to go to the laundry, then you need to put them in your car and you need.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Why did you start that this morning about piling up?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I found a cashmere coat laying in the clothes hamper. Well, now that's got to go. The laundry.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Yeah, that's why it was in a hamper with all the other stuff that's got to go to the dry cleaner.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I fold them all up. I got them all ready for you.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I just take them in there. Loose leaf like that, not folded up.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I'm gonna make sure I got everything it needs to go with it. So I gotta jack it.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
But that is a waste of time and a waste of gas and a waste of energy to drive to the dry cleaners for three items. I wait until I have, like, 20.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, that's stupid.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Next question. How do you stay so positive with everything going on in your life?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, you know what? I am not going to let the devil win. Now, he might walk behind me, but he'll never walk in front of him and beside me. And I have to stay focused because God says, I will never put more on you than you can bear. I will always walk beside you. And when you don't see my footprints I'm carrying at that time. And he's got a reason for all things. We may not know it right now and we don't see it, because sometimes the devil wants me to ask God, why? Why? But I know that something bigger and better is coming from it. So I have to look for that because I know that's what's going to happen.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
But that doesn't mean that you don't have hard days.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I have hard days. Some days I have to cry. But he wept, didn't he? And so can I. And I know that it's just the season and it shall pass. And I can't be mean to the people that has always been good to me because I'm sad. I Have to let this lighthouse shine because that's what God gave it to me for. He said, let your body be a holy temple and let the lighthouse shine. And that's what I'm gonna do.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I love that. What is your favorite fast food place? You can only pick one Chick Fil a. What do you get?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, the morning I get chicken minis. And then if I'm going during the daytime, I get me a chicken sandwich.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I would have to say my favorite fast food would also be Chick Fil a. Absolutely love their chicken minis. And soon. I don't know when this is going to air, but soon I will make the. Didn't I tell. Was I the one who told you about the chicken minis that you can make at home? And they taste just like Chick Fil a. I don't know who I was telling, but I'll get you guys the brand of the chicken and then the brand of the bread and how to do it. It's absolutely Chef's Kiss. Tastes just like Chick Fil a. My favorite biscuit, though, from any fast food ever would have to be Hardee's.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
They do have a good gravy and biscuit. And ham biscuit. That's what I get if I go to hard.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I don't get a ham.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I love some country ham.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Nanny, you have to drink a gallon
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
of water if you don't make a difference. Maybe that's when I need to get to drinking the water. Get a little ham biscuit. And you know I cook ham.
For the Haters Podcast Narrator
You do?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Daddy will call and say, mama, if you cut me some ham, I'll come have breakfast for you. Make us some gravy and fry us some ham. I said, I can make that happen. And I go right on up to the store and get me some country ham. Come home and fry. Don't you remember? They all come and just eat, like everything. When I cook a thing of country ham and make biscuits and I don't
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
like a piece of country ham. I would rather have a piece of sausage.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, you know, if you don't like country ham, you can always have sausage. I cook sausage too. Make us some sausage gravy.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
I think by far Chick Fil a is the best fast food. I think that Hardee's has the best Biscuit. I think McDonald's has the best sweet tea. Arby's has the best fries and Burger King has the best burger.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I used to love a Whopper. Yeah, back in the day, many moons ago when they first come out. Man, that was so Good.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
A Whopper is so good. But I have to get it without the onion because it stinks up your whole damn car. Well, that's the stinkiest burger, stinkiest fast food burger, but it is so damn good. Can you give tips for a long lasting marriage?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I already preached about. Shut up. Respect your partner. They have a view just like you. Respect is the whole thing. Always say you got to work hard, love hard and live hard to keep it going. And you don't think that you know everything because you don't. And don't be arrogant because in the end it doesn't amount to anything.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Most arguments that I've ever been in with a significant other amounted to nothing.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
There's no winner.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
No, there's no winner.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
And don't be arguing in front of your children because that's their safe place to get to. Come home. That's their safe haven, is their mama and dad. If you have disagreements then you have a chance to say but you hurt my feelings and I didn't appreciate it.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Did you ever say that in your marriage?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I, you know, I don't know too many things that we ever really fussed about. Mostly ours was about children. You know, after Todd and Randy got big enough to drive and one, now Todd wasn't as bad as Randy but you know, sometimes Todded Gina take their car keys and then they would come say mama please. Did you get daddy to give it back to us? Please mama, please. Well, you know, mamas always have got to go between the hedges, got to help them and then Jeannie get mad so. Well, I'm going to give them their car keys back. Then when they get in trouble, don't you come crying to me. Well, that was our biggest. We didn't have much argue about money because papa, you know, never did sign a paycheck. He brought his paycheck putting on the table and I signed it. I sent him to the bank to get what we was going to keep out of it and I kept the rest.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
And he wasn't a stingy man.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No. And even up until he died, he said had not been for me managing our money, that we wouldn't ever had nothing.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That's very true.

Okay, if you were having a baby today and you had to go to the hospital, what would be in your hospital bag?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, for me, yeah, some panties and a bra and my deodorant and my toothbrush and a clean couple of gowns.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So you wouldn't take like a portable fan and a sound machine?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, heck no.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
And a robe?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, I got some pajamas. I don't need a robe.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)

Well, I'm not planning on moving there. I don't want to stay. I miss going for to have a baby and get it over and get back on.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So you would only bring a couple
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
gowns basically, and some panties and my deodorant and a toothbrush and a hairbrush. I don't know too much else I take.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Was your labor and delivery experience as good as mine?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, I was in labor with Todd two or three days.
Podcast Host Lindsay
What?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
They let people labor that long back then?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, his head's already gone through the bone. They couldn't bring him back up to do a C section and so he said he was going to be one of us.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What was the choice?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, they just told Todd it. Genie is probably going to be one of us. But, you know, he finally got born and then Randy wasn't as bad a labor, but no, I didn't get to have mine Real fast and easy. We didn't have all that stuff. And I believe now that all those people going out here and having them and wanting to do all that stuff, there wouldn't be as many if that made you suffer a little bit.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
You don't believe in modern medicine?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, I believe in some, but you
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
feel like women should have to suffer
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
a little bit more? Well, God said he doesn't take nobody in childbirth. You might die afterwards, but you won't die during childbirth.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you feel like my experience was pretty smooth?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, you sail right on through it.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Yeah. And I hate that you had to labor for two or three days. Could you imagine if you were Having a baby in today's time. And you packed a hospital bag that had fans, a baby shusher. A sound machine. Could you imagine?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No one. I don't know. We never did do things like that. We didn't know to do that. We didn't have all that. You just want to have one, and you had to suffer a degree to have them. That's just probably life. Think about the people that had them back at home, back in the day, and they have nothing.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That's true. Okay, what is one word that describes each of your grandchildren? Start like, oldest to youngest.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
What you want me to say? I mean, what you.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)

Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Oh, like you.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Like, you can start with me and then Kyle, then Chase.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, you've always been quiet. Kyle's always wanting to get into something. And Chase, he just kind of slided around. And sassy. She was always bouncing. Grayson was always quiet. Amber was real quiet. And Gabe, you never knew what he was doing except playing with a race car.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Who's your favorite grandchild?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I don't have any favorite.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
That's not true.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Oh, it is true. I don't have no favorite now, but none of them right now don't need me. Too bad. So I'm pretty happy with all of them.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
You're happy with all of us. I love that. Okay, there is something called a celebrity hall pass, and that is if you could be with any celebrity, like actor, whomever, who would you choose?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, now, you know, I've never been movie person, so I don't know a lot of people. I would probably like to be with Martha Stewart to see what she does.

No.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Sexually?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Oh, no, I don't have any. I have no desire to be with nobody.

Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What type of man do you see me settling down with? I don't know. Who typed this question? I'M assuming that it's somebody from Instagram or the Facebook, but go ahead.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I hope to see you settle down with somebody as competitive as you and as hard worker as you and want the same things out of life and just enjoy each other because that's. You're quiet competitive, a hard worker. So that's what I would want to see out of the next one that you get choose to be with.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)

Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I don't know. I hope he's tall and handsome.

But do you think they're like skinny or muscular framed?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, you need something kind of like muscular, a little bit. You don't have to have one just dried up like a prune. You don't have to do that.

So you feel like they would probably have like biceps. They do curls for the girls.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I guess. I don't know. See, y' all are a whole different ball game. Like I said, a millennium bunch of things. They're looking for different things.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Well, when you were looking, you weren't looking for.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, we just looked for somebody that was good looking and we thought, you know, you always went for the looks. Really, that was the first thing you looked at. And I would never like nobody had bad teeth ever because, you know, I've always had a thing with teeth. You know, if they're not, they got nasty mouth and I don't want no part of it.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Who's saying that?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I mean a lot of people do, but you know, when you start looking for somebody, I'm not going to look when the bike, it's got bad teeth or. No, no, I'm not doing that. I'm going goose move. I'm staying. It's like I'm staying with who? I mean.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Oh my God. Nanny. So are you saying that back in the day, like in your day when you was rip roaring the streets trying
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
to find you a man, we didn't get to rip roaring a man. No, that wasn't the way we found one. We found one at school.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Do you think that your granddaughters rip, roar.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I'm not saying that they're, they're looking different than we did. Y' all get to Go to different places, you know. We didn't go to places. We went to church and to school. That's what we did.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Yeah.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
So either you found someone you went to school with or someone that played at a different school. That's how you found your friends and that's who you married. That's why most of them stayed together. There wasn't no divorce rate back in our time.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So you're telling me that you're a looks gal, not a personality gal?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Well, I'm not gonna look at. Nobody was rowdy and hollered and carried on. No, I would never do that.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
But did looks attract you first?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
Yeah, looks and I would never look at nobody. Never brushed her teeth. That teeth was a thing with me.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Why was it such a thing?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I can't. You think I'm gonna kiss on the not me.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Were you a big time kisser back in your day?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, we didn't do things like that.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
Like what?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
I mean, we didn't go wallering and doing stuff like that. I mean, you was trash back in our day. If you did that, you was kind of trash. If you held hands. What you might could go to school. Like in 11th or 12th grade. You'd be going down a hall and holding hands, but that'd be the extent of.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
What do you think about pda?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
What's that? Public display of affection I don't even know nothing about. Nothing like that. I don't need.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
No, you know, like if you're out and about and you're kind of like feeling your man and you want to kiss on him or rub on him.
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
No, that's place at home.
Podcast Host Lindsay (Interviewer)
So you don't believe in pda?
Nanny (Elderly Family Matriarch)
