• Main Theme: Announcing and discussing the show's rebranding while demonstrating Lindsie’s renewed focus on authenticity, resilience, and boundary-setting in the face of personal and public turmoil.

[01:10], [02:01], [06:17], [09:10], [39:49]

  “Takes a long time to do that stuff if you are methodically doing that and if you're putting time and effort into doing that.” (Lindsie, 01:38)

Notable Quote:

• "There is no speculation because the speculation is over. Also would love to know, since you're moving on and you have a man in your life, are you going to change your last name?” (Hunter, 49:49 & 50:11 - playful, pointed jab)

[Podcast Host - Southern Tea Intro Host]

A Southern girl, a proud boy, mom, and someone figuring it out one day at a time. Join me each week as we dive into honest conversations about motherhood, relationships, family, personal growth, and everything in between. Expect real talk, genuine laughter, thoughtful perspectives, and conversations that remind us we're all learning as we go. Because at the end of the day, the best conversations are the ones that we have together.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Good morning and welcome back to another episode of the Southern Tea. This is going to probably feel same but different because I don't feel like

[Hunter Prestridge]

there were a lot of issues

[Lindsay Chrisley]

went through an entire rebranding and I want to be clear with that rebranding process. I have dates, I have calendar invites, I have all of that.

[Hunter Prestridge]

If you guys want to see it,

[Lindsay Chrisley]

would be happy to provide it.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Now there's going to be some people that's going to hate on it and

[Lindsay Chrisley]

be like, oh, she went through this

[Hunter Prestridge]

rebranding after the recent events. I didn't.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Takes a long time to do that stuff if you are methodically doing that and if you're putting time and effort into doing that. And so I want to hear your perspective on that. I am joined by my assistant and also best friend Hunter.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Hey, you guys would love to hear

[Lindsay Chrisley]

your perspective on that because I think a lot of people probably are going

[Hunter Prestridge]

to say, oh, she's rebranding because of the events.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

That has nothing to do with that.

[Kristen]

Yeah, absolutely not the case. She definitely started this rebrand prior to the events that we're currently working through. And we had started it months before, actually, thoughts of talks of photo shoots, all of this stuff. And it just during the hiatus, she was able to really pinpoint and finalize some things that she wanted to do to make this better for the audience. And so that's been the situation. And none of it's not been because of any type of event that's happened in your life. It's just because we wanted something new and thought you guys deserved to see a different side of us, a more authentic side. So.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And I think because people were so used to I involve people on this

[Hunter Prestridge]

show that are so intricately involved in my personal life.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

So it's been Caroline, it's been Kelly,

[Hunter Prestridge]

it's been you, it's been Kristen, it's

[Lindsay Chrisley]

been all of the people. And I want to very gently say, without giving a ton of details, because there are certain parts of stories that are not mine to give. If someone is no longer involved in my life, there is a reason for that because I am making better choices. And over the past five, six, seven weeks, I have made a choice to remove myself from certain people's lives that do not align with where I'm going. And I think that's fair.

[Podcast Host - Southern Tea Intro Host]

Right.

[Kristen]

That don't benefit you.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But it's not just a benefit, right? It's. It needs to be a mutually beneficial.

[Kristen]

Absolutely. That's what a relationship is.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Relationship. And if, if it's only a one

[Lindsay Chrisley]

sided relationship, I no longer am going to participate.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Participate or adhere to those terms.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

That's not to talk shit about anybody. That's just we all go through seasons of friendships where we're friends when it is collectively mutual, and then a season of life where it's. That no longer serves me. And so we've got to get off the bus there.

[Kristen]

I agree. I think it's very healthy to outgrow friendships. I think, you know, you've got certain friends that you will have forever and for always and you know exactly who those are. Unfortunately. I do think that there's also friendships that come into your life at a certain point probably because you need them and they need you. And then you guys go through that and that comes to an end. It's human nature. And I mean, I have done it many a times and there's been certain

[Lindsay Chrisley]

friendships that even when I've got out of them, I grieve those friendships while also knowing it's not healthy for me

[Hunter Prestridge]

to continue those friendships. Right.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I, I can grieve that process knowing, oh, I could have picked up the phone and called that person. I could have picked up the phone and called that person and they go

[Hunter Prestridge]

directly to the Internet. Right.

[Kristen]

Which is unfortunately what happens.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

That's unfortunately what has happened in my situation. And I want to be very clear. People talking about my friendships, it's not because I'm a bad friend. I feel like I'm a great friend.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And unfortunately I feel like I am too open. And I am.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I will invite anybody into my house. And Hunter has said that, like, these

[Hunter Prestridge]

people need to be vetted.

[Kristen]

Absolutely. On top of that, I mean, this is your safe Space. This is, like, where you raise your son. This is literally your peace and your sanctuary. We can't just have anyone coming in

[Hunter Prestridge]

and so anybody talking about stuff on

[Lindsay Chrisley]

the Internet, whether you're like, oh, such and such. Is not following such and such.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Okay, great.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

There's a reason for that. It's also not worth my time to discuss it because I have invested so much time, so much energy, so much everything into those relationships that if someone wants to come out and talk and not do it through an alias, do it because I'm here. I'm here. And I know what the truth was. I know what was done, and I'm

[Hunter Prestridge]

gonna leave it at that.

[Kristen]

Yeah. I mean, if they want to come for you, they better come with receipts.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Come with the receipts, because guess what?

[Hunter Prestridge]

I am the queen.

[Kristen]

Correct.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Of receipts.

[Kristen]

Yep.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

With that being said,

[Hunter Prestridge]

there is an entire rebranding that is being launched when the. This episode launches.

[Commercial Narrator]

Yes.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

That's a new face. Not a new face outside of me.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Right. It just is going to look like a face lift.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

That was in a time that I did all of those photos prior to my downfall with David. And I want to be honest about

[Hunter Prestridge]

that, because I was scrambling at that moment.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I knew that I wanted to do something different for my show. I knew that I had to turn over certain assets to this rebranding company, which I very much trusted. And I knew I had to go

[Hunter Prestridge]

and put on a brave face.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And did I want to do it?

[Hunter Prestridge]

No, I didn't want to do it,

[Lindsay Chrisley]

but I signed up to do it for that day. And it gave me a little peace in the moment of uncertainty. And I want to encourage everybody who's listening to this that, like, there is always something, some sense of peace that you can find in all moments of uncertainty.

[Madison]

Right.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like, it sucks.

[Kristen]

It does suck. Life sucks.

[Hunter Prestridge]

When you're going through,

[Lindsay Chrisley]

you can always find, like, something small to make you breathe. And that was something small that made me feel a sense of. I can focus on this community right now, in this moment, and I can give them what they deserve to be given. And I don't have to focus on any of that.

[Hunter Prestridge]

That other stuff, right? Like, absolutely, yes.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Did I think about all the other things after the fact that I did that? Yes.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I would be a liar if I said I didn't. I did. You know I did.

[Kristen]

You did.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

But I put on the brave face

[Hunter Prestridge]

and I did it.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And I ran across. I was just scrolling on TikTok last night, and I ran across a tik tok, and I think her Name's Uncommon Karen and she reports on me and Kale all the time.

[Kristen]

All the time.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

All the time.

[Kristen]

She's been popping up on mine and

[Lindsay Chrisley]

it's probably cuz our algorithms are very similar. I'm sure she got a lot of hate for the video that she posted. Because I am human, right? I read the comments and it was a, a photo from the tour date

[Hunter Prestridge]

that I went on in Charlotte and it was regarding my weight.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I have always somewhat struggled with my weight to some degree. I talked about it in my parents federal trial. I testified to that. Like I have done all of those things. But I think that when you are coping with something, you find a coping mechanism and it, you latch on to what you can control. I'm not saying that it is healthy by any means. You have not directly come to me and said, hey, your weight's concerning, but in a roundabout way you have meal prep for you.

[Kristen]

So I'm like, are you eating all of this?

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah.

[Kristen]

What do we need to do? More protein based, like, what do we need to do?

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And I think people don't understand that if you haven't been through certain situations, you, you don't understand that your weight and your intake can be a control mechanism that, that you latch on to because you feel like you can control nothing else. I have been through so much over the past six months and that is not to minimize anybody else's right. Like when I say there are so many people going through so many harder things than what I'm going through that you could look at me and be

[Hunter Prestridge]

like, oh, that's a blip on a map.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

But with that being said, like, this is my life and this is something that I'm dealing with. So, so you're viewing me, I'm gonna shout out Uncommon Karen because she got a, a huge backlash for commenting on my weight. But I believe she got a huge backlash because she says so many things about me and Kale. And I think she listens to the podcast and she gives her perspective on the thing. She's like, oh, well, I don't agree with her here and I don't agree with Kale there. And I don't fair.

[Hunter Prestridge]

We're putting ourself out there to be

[Lindsay Chrisley]

scrutinized to some degree, right? And so she's valid to, to have those opinions. We can't, we can't control what somebody who's tick tocking and posting on Facebook or whatever they're doing. And I'm not trying to control that. But I think where she got the backlash was because she's done all of those things, and then she's like, oh, I'm actually concerned for Lindsay's weight because I didn't realize the gravity of what she's been through. And I don't think anybody will ever realize the gravity of what I've been through other than the people who are with me every single day. And you can speak to that?

[Kristen]

Yeah, I absolutely can. And, you know, the truth is, is I could see how it's alarming to the people who are not in your life every day, but being with her practically every day. We don't see each other every day, but we talk nonstop. So, you know, she's. She's in a really good state of mind. I will say that. And for what?

[Hunter Prestridge]

I would say a better state of

[Kristen]

mind for what she's going through. I would say that she's in a. Okay, yes, a better state of mind. I don't think that this is something that is over with by any means, but I do think that through the negativity and, you know, the really unfortunate things that have happened, I think that she's trying to make the best out of it and trying to learn lessons in each thing that she's done. And, yeah, so I understand how people would have a perspective, but I also think that their perspectives, some of the ones that I read, are often incredibly wrong. So. And we could. That could be a whole deep dive.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And I mean, it's okay because I have said so many times, people take

[Hunter Prestridge]

what they see on social media, right?

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And they dissect that stuff.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And we do put ourselves out there

[Lindsay Chrisley]

for that to be dissected, of course, but people also think that we put

[Hunter Prestridge]

ourselves out there with intent for it to be dissected.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And that's also not the case. Like, when I think about things that I want to post, and I know it's ignorance when I say it, I think about my personal friends who are following me. I don't think about the collective. The collective of all the other people following me. And I should be more mindful, but also to the point that I'm more

[Hunter Prestridge]

mindful that I'm censoring myself, that I'm not being authentic.

[Kristen]

You're not. And that's what people are here for, is to see you in your authentic state. So.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And like, I want to post the

[Hunter Prestridge]

things that are authentic to me.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And what people have to say is what people have to say, and take

[Hunter Prestridge]

it or leave it. Dissect it, hate me, love me, do

[Lindsay Chrisley]

whatever you want to do I do want to say I've never discussed anybody's weight ever on a public platform or privately? I would not do that. I'm glad that Uncommon Karen came to the point that she listened to me, thought I was a fraud, saw photos of me that were not posted by me, and came to a different conclusion.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

This has been hard.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah, it's been really hard.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And people in my real life have seen me navigate all of this stuff and it has not been beautiful.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like there has been nothing about this

[Lindsay Chrisley]

that has been a glory moment for me.

[Kristen]

It's been life changing and altering.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

It has because it's made me think different. It's made me truly navigate in a different way. It's made me think about myself differently. It's made me think about the things that are broken in me that need to be fixed. It's made me think about things that were good about me that were misused. It's made me, it's tested my character in a lot of ways. It has impacted me in a way that nobody actually understands. And I have seen so many people DM me and say, oh, well, maybe it'll make you think differently with Will dating somebody else. No, because my intentions were always pure when I was reviewing those situations.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Right.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Like that's not. We can say a lot of things, but my intentions have always been pure. Have I come across as crass? Yes. Have I come across abrasive?

[Podcast Host - Southern Tea Intro Host]

Absolutely.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Yes. Would I change the way that I handle certain situations?

[Hunter Prestridge]

No.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Because I know more information than what other people know. And so when I'm navigating certain situations and I'm talking about those, it's not for me to out his side of that situation because he's not public facing.

[Kristen]

I agree.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And so I'm getting the end of the deal.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

When I'm talking about that stuff, it's like, why are we fucking people who want to have kids but they can't have a kid with you? Why are we fucking them?

[Hunter Prestridge]

Why are we leading them on?

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Why are we doing any of that stuff?

[Hunter Prestridge]

I love the fact that he's with

[Lindsay Chrisley]

a girlfriend now that has two children. I love that.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah, you heard me tell him that tonight.

[Kristen]

I did. I did.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I love it. Because there is a level of understanding.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Don't put somebody in my child's life that is not going to remain.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And that sounds like a hypocrite because

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I have been in situations, three different

[Hunter Prestridge]

relationships that did not remain, but the core.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

The core of that situation when we're doing vetting.

[Madison]

Right.

[Hunter Prestridge]

If someone came to me today and

[Lindsay Chrisley]

said, hey, my goals are to be with you and I know that you have a 13 year old, but I want to have a kid within the next year, get the out of my

[Kristen]

house, it's just not there right now.

[Hunter Prestridge]

It's just not there.

[Kristen]

Right.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

For him. It's not there ever.

[Kristen]

You weren't joking when you said you were gonna get diabolical, were you?

[Lindsay Chrisley]

No, I wasn't joking because I'm gonna be honest, like, and it's not to out anybody.

[Kristen]

No, it's not outing, but it's just facts are facts. And I don't know why people want to speak around them and pretend that one thing is the case when.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

But also I've been.

[Kristen]

Goes back to receipts.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I have been. And I understand when people say, oh, she's like breadcrumbing or she's this or she's that. Yes, I absolutely have done that. And I will acknowledge the fact that I have freaking done it.

[Kristen]

You also have to at a certain

[Lindsay Chrisley]

extent, but to some extent I have to be careful about certain things that I say. So if you guys want to know the whole nitty gritty and you want to continue hearing my co parenting stuff, either I have to fall on the side of I'm gonna keep that at bay or I'm just gonna tell it all.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And then I can fight with my ex husband in our real life and y' all can hear about it next week.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like, what am I supposed to do?

[Kristen]

I think it's healthy to err on the side of not cautious, but honesty. And I always do that too. It's almost, it's definitely one of those things like speak first, ask for forgiveness after the fact. I live like that. And I don't. No, that's necessarily a healthy thing. But I'm also not going to lie or tell mistruths for somebody else.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

But to some degree I'm a liar

[Hunter Prestridge]

because to some degree I am a

[Lindsay Chrisley]

liar by omitting certain parts of the truth because I'm giving my parts of

[Hunter Prestridge]

the truth and I'm omitting stuff to protect other people.

[Kristen]

You may be a lot of things, but a liar you are not. And I understand the omittance in protecting people. That, that is understandable. You know what I mean? You, you, you live in the, you know, the public facing eye. Right. So you understand what it's like to have really negative things in the media. And so with that And I don't

[Hunter Prestridge]

want anybody else to have to face it. Right.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Like, I have struggled so hard with my relationship with my ex husband. Because yes, he signed on when we started doing Chrisley Knows Best. Like if he says he didn't sign the contract. Liar.

[Hunter Prestridge]

You did.

[Kristen]

Right.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

You did. You also signed a parenting plan. That cannot prevent me from having Jackson on tv. Which. Watch out. Why are we now scrambling at this point?

[Hunter Prestridge]

Because you know what?

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I'm actually going to get diabolical because you overheard a conversation. Not overheard. I had it sitting here with Jackson and you.

[Madison]

Yes.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

A couple of weeks ago. Yes, there is an opportunity for me. Jackson wants to be involved. Express that he wanted to be involved. But since the general public thinks that I'm such a bitch. Was I a bitch in that situation?

[Kristen]

No. I think you called just to try and speak about it in a dual parenting, but not in the same household.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Knowing. Knowing damn well in my parenting plan. I did not have to do that. I'm going to go above and beyond because I feel like that was the right thing to do.

[Kristen]

It was. It was being honest and being transparent.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And I'm not gonna blindside somebody. No, I wouldn't do that in a relationship. I would not do that to my co parent.

[Kristen]

Because you don't want to be blindsided

[Lindsay Chrisley]

and I don't want to be blindsided.

[Kristen]

Correct.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

So I'm gonna give the courtesy.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Do unto others as you want done to you.

[Kristen]

Absolutely.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

1,000%.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Did that end well?

[Lindsay Chrisley]

No, it didn't.

[Kristen]

But you guys have moved past it now.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Am I still going to do what

[Hunter Prestridge]

I want to do?

[Kristen]

Absolutely.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Absolutely.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Yes, I am. But is it out there in the open and was there a conversation? Had.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yes, there was.

[Kristen]

Yes, there was.

[Hunter Prestridge]

What am I supposed to do at that point?

[Kristen]

Nothing. At least you were transparent. You told him the opportunities and discussed the potentiality of it. Jackson explained, expressed his part.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

People want to talk about how I've been mean to every girlfriend that Will has had. Well, I don't know of many, but the ones that he has had, I in fact have been mean to.

[Hunter Prestridge]

That is a fact.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

They also wanted children. They also never, as his mother ever addressed me, but was willing to be around my child, which is concerning. Yeah, I would never be around somebody's child without the mother knowing.

[Kristen]

Meeting and having a conversation ever, one on one.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Now, in the three relationships that I was in, one mother I met pretty early on, pretty kosher, no issue. The second one I asked to meet and also requested that that mother know that there was somebody around them. The third situation, the mother knew because he put me on FaceTime. Pretty much off the rip. So she knew that you were there,

[Hunter Prestridge]

That I was there.

[Kristen]

Right.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I also requested that mother to meet her and went to her home to meet her prior to ever traveling with that child. Because that's the courtesy that I would have wanted for me as a mother. I can't ask for something and then do something different and expect a different result.

[Kristen]

I agree.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I can't do that's.

[Hunter Prestridge]

A hypocrite.

[Kristen]

Others do unto others, right? Yes.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Unfortunately, when I met that mother, I found out a lot of information that I didn't want to find out. Nonetheless, still met her, still put on my big girl pants.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

10 year age difference of her and me.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Lovely person.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Don't have anything bad to say about her.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Probably didn't like me.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Well, I wouldn't probably like, you know, if somebody addressed me in that situation,

[Hunter Prestridge]

I probably would be like, oh, well,

[Lindsay Chrisley]

you're gonna around and find out because you're with my ex husband.

[Hunter Prestridge]

You know, like I already did.

[Kristen]

Right.

[Hunter Prestridge]

She essentially did say that.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

But with that being said, I at least put on my big girl pants

[Hunter Prestridge]

and said, hey, like, we're going to the beach. This is what we're doing. I want you to put a face to a name. If you need anything. Here is my phone number. She will not be in harm's way.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Please reach out to me if you need anything. If he doesn't answer the phone, call me.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And you want to get to her, call me. Yeah, that's what I would want somebody to do to me.

[Kristen]

Absolutely.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Which is why I move forward doing that.

[Hunter Prestridge]

So if anybody says anything different, it's a lie and I can prove it.

[Kristen]

Oh, yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And I am the queen of, of receipt.

[Kristen]

Hallelujah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

The queen of receipt.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Moving on from that.

[Kristen]

Speaking of the next diabolical.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

No, there's been so much diabolical stuff that's happened. I'm just like, what?

[Kristen]

It literally has been so much the

[Lindsay Chrisley]

past couple of months, and I'm like, I just want to rebrand, have a new show, have a facelift, like, also take 95 vacations. Which, you know, that's another thing that I need to address. People saying, oh, well, she took five weeks off, I took five weeks off. But I also took a pay cut when I did that. So like, I'm actually sick of that not being addressed. And it should have been addressed by other people, not just me. I took a pay cut by doing that. And that was a choice. And people want to say, oh, I

[Hunter Prestridge]

don't live in reality because I can

[Lindsay Chrisley]

take a pay cut. No. I've governed my life to be able to choose that. So I took a pay cut because that was in the best interest of my mental health. It was in the best interest of my child. It was in the best interest of my co parenting relationship. It was the best interest of any business relationship that I have.

[Hunter Prestridge]

It was also in the best interest

[Lindsay Chrisley]

of myself to be able to figure out legally what I need to do. And not just one situation, but a multitude of situations.

[Kristen]

Yeah, I agree. I think you. I think if, if you had not taken a break, it would have been a much different outcome. And I was pushing for that. I was like, it's time to step away for a minute.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And everybody was pushing for it.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Everybody was pushing because I am very much. I'm my biggest critic. And when I get to the point of anybody can say anything to me and think that they're telling me something about myself, but I already know it.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Right.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

So you're not telling me anything. Yeah, I already know it. And I'm marinating on. On it and I'm sleeping on it and I'm laying on it and I

[Hunter Prestridge]

won't leave my house.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

And people will come to do a wellness check.

[Kristen]

Like, absolutely.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I. I don't think that people understand. Like, I'm kikiing around.

[Kristen]

Yeah. You're not just having.

[Hunter Prestridge]

When was I doing that?

[Kristen]

You're literally. When she says hiatus, it's a hiatus. She's. What is it? It's like, what do they call it? It's like bombarding yourself into the house or like barricading yourself in the house.

[Hunter Prestridge]

That is.

[Kristen]

That's your aesthetics. You just want to peace. That was me and binging Netflix.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Like, I was never leaving this house. People think that I was just negating my job. And I say job because I love what I do. So when I'm at my happiest, it doesn't feel like a job. Right.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

People say I was negating my job. No, I had business conversations to make sure that everything was covered and took a percentage cut to make sure that was all covered so that I could do what I needed to do. And it wasn't like I was just kikiing around this town where I was just like, going to lunch or I was going to a massage or I was going to get a facelift or a boob job or Pilates or any of that. I wasn't doing Pilates.

[Kristen]

On pause.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

It went on pause.

[Kristen]

Yeah. The whole time.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I was not even going to do that. And and that is my sanctuary.

[Kristen]

Correct?

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I took time to myself with no outside influence of anything to wrap my brain around what was going on. I needed to create new eating habits, I needed to create a new schedule. I needed to create boundaries. I needed to do all of those things and think about what was going on. There are multiple legal situations that are going on. It's just not one legal situation. And I think that people don't understand that. And I keep bringing up on common Karen, thank you for acknowledging the fact that that I, number one am not a liar. Like I am struggling, I am in a struggle moment. Like I can acknowledge the fact I don't look well I haven't looked well for a period of time. I went through a full blown crash out. That was somebody that. And you know this, that was somebody that. I genuinely thought that we were going to raise our children from two different marriages. Right. And like I could have loved her like she was my own, because I did. And I genuinely believed he loved him like he was his own. I genuinely believe that we could have meshed those lives so easily. We did a lot of things that were the same. And you and I have had private conversations about that. That like that's what's causing me.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Sorry, the birds.

[Kristen]

To grieve the way that's what's causing

[Lindsay Chrisley]

me to grieve the way that I'm grieving. Because it doesn't just end one night. Right. Like, yes, inevitably, what ended up happening, within about two hours, an event happened. Police got involved and then were bound by the government to not be able to communicate. I want people to resonate with that. Like, it's not a choice. Like, I can't reach out to him. He can't reach out to me. If I did that, I would go to jail. If he did that, he'd go to jail.

[Kristen]

Yep.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

It's a very serious matter and I have taken it very seriously. But with that understanding of it being very serious, I want people to also understand that like there are emotions that are around that that have nothing to do with that. I loved him and I also love him. I want nothing bad to happen to him. The situation is what the situation is. Media reported on what they reported. I'm not commenting on what was reported.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Right.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

That's not my place. I will backtrack that. It's not, it's not a position that I'm going to take because I personally feel like this is. State did what the state did and that had nothing to do with me.

[Kristen]

That is the fact.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

That is the fact. And so because of that, I can honestly say that that was somebody that I have to grieve because I was in love with that person. And I can never apologize for being in love with somebody.

[Kristen]

There's no point in for what? For apologizing. Anyone who would ask you to apologize for that is.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But I feel like a lot of

[Lindsay Chrisley]

people want me to apologize and they're

[Hunter Prestridge]

like, oh, tooth or oh, blah, blah,

[Lindsay Chrisley]

like whatever they want to call it. Like, I don't, I don't know.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Just like what my team tells me. Great. Like they can all feel that way

[Lindsay Chrisley]

about them or about him.

[Hunter Prestridge]

You didn't sleep with him. You didn't do life with him. You didn't shower with him, you didn't

[Lindsay Chrisley]

say bedtime prayers with him, you didn't go to church with him, you didn't

[Hunter Prestridge]

do activities with him, you didn't travel

[Lindsay Chrisley]

with him, you didn't do any of that stuff.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And that's not a defense for him.

[Kristen]

It's unfair for somebody, a third party.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And you struggle with it a little

[Kristen]

bit and a watcher to give an opinion and then expect you to live off of, based off of that opinion.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But you've struggled with it a little bit because some stuff that I say, you'll check me and be like, no, Lindsay.

[Kristen]

Yeah, I do. But I've also had a situation very similar to this in my life and people can say what they want to about that, but it took me a long time to get over said individual. And they always say it takes half the time or is it like double the time that you're with the person to actually get over them?

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I don't know. We'll go to our listeners for them

[Hunter Prestridge]

to tell us that statistic. Like, I don't know.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

But what I also want people to

[Hunter Prestridge]

understand is that it has nothing to

[Lindsay Chrisley]

do with the trauma of what happened. Like, I felt that way about him

[Hunter Prestridge]

prior to anything happening. And I think that's why I struggle with it so bad, because I don't

[Lindsay Chrisley]

want anything bad to happen to anybody

[Hunter Prestridge]

that I have ever loved. That goes for my parents, that goes for my siblings, that goes for my

[Lindsay Chrisley]

relationship that I was in and future relationships. I want nothing bad to happen to anybody. Even if somebody has, has crossed me

[Hunter Prestridge]

in any way, like, yeah, good for you, like, you got your lick on me.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

But I, I don't want anything bad

[Hunter Prestridge]

to happen to you. I want you to move through life and do it now. Does that mean that I'm not going

[Lindsay Chrisley]

to say my side?

[Hunter Prestridge]

No, that doesn't mean that.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Does that mean that I'm not going to have a position in this?

[Hunter Prestridge]

No, it doesn't mean that.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

But does that mean that I genuinely

[Hunter Prestridge]

want to set you free and you to go on to do whatever you're going to do? Yes, yes, yes, I do. I want you to thrive in whatever you're going to do. Please don't create the same mistakes that you did when we were involved with

[Kristen]

each other, with somebody else.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Please use. This is a lesson. If I was a lesson in your story, use it. Yeah, but move on from it.

[Kristen]

But guess what? That was also a lesson in your history.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And that was a lesson for me, though.

[Kristen]

That's what I'm saying.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Like, I.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And people will say I'm crazy for saying this, but, like, at the end of the day, I wouldn't say I'm thriving by any means.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Do I think that I'm coming more into myself, myself than what I was?

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yes.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I am coming into my authentic self. And I feel most comfortable where I am right now.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And do I think I will continue to grow? Yes, I do.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

There's always room for growth. With that being said, I want nothing bad to happen to anybody that's ever

[Hunter Prestridge]

done anything to me because that's their own story. That's for their.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

That's for them to tell, not for me.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah, I can tell my story about

[Lindsay Chrisley]

what happened to me.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Their part of it is not my business because they're. No, they're no longer a part of my life. Right. Like, it's removed. And so when I see certain things where it's like, oh, well, because I get. I have a team. And, like, can we speak to that for a second? Because people think that, like, I'm looking at stuff, and, like, I genuinely am not.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I had apps deleted.

[Hunter Prestridge]

They're like, oh, she's lying. Because she knows what's being said here and she knows what's being said there. I had apps deleted for over a month off of my phone.

[Kristen]

Yeah. All socials were gone.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

All socials were gone.

[Kristen]

So, like, the only way she would be finding anything out is if we were advising her of that.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like, hey, something this is being said has come out. Or do you want to address this? Like, and there are certain things that I've just come to the realization that people are gonna say whatever they want to say. Right? Like, they're gonna talk about my weight, they're gonna talk about my lips. They're gonna talk about my relationship that doesn't exist anymore. Somebody sent me a comment. One of my girlfriends sent me a comment yesterday that was like, we saw Lindsay and David at such and such place. No, you didn't. No, you didn't.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I can promise you you didn't.

[Kristen]

No.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Hunter knows my whereabouts and where I was.

[Kristen]

Wasn't anywhere near David.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I don't know where he's at. I don't know what to say.

[Kristen]

Would say that.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I don't know if it was. Do I think that some people, like, say stuff to try to, like, strum up, troll?

[Kristen]

Absolutely.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Other comments, Right. Like, do I think some people do that? Yes. Do I think some people take a part of the story and they add certain aspects to it and then that's where, like, the rumor mill gets started. Yes.

[Kristen]

Also. Yes.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Do I think that some people do. I think that some people are just generally commenting on what I'm saying and they don't agree with me, which is fair, right? Like, fair. You don't agree with me.

[Kristen]

Yeah, that's fine.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Some people

[Hunter Prestridge]

will comment on stuff and be like, nope, I agree with everything that she says. That's great, too.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

The whole point of this podcast is

[Hunter Prestridge]

for it to be an open discussion and for me also to share my life. Right. Like, it's not for people to agree or to disagree. This is what I'm doing, and this is how I'm handling it. Like, you don't have to agree to love me and you don't have to disagree to hate me.

[Kristen]

You don't even have to listen.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I mean, you don't.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But I'm speaking because people are. Yeah, right.

[Kristen]

I mean, we're grateful for the listens, but if what she's saying you disagree with so much. I mean, my God.

[Hunter Prestridge]

With that being said, I've actually just

[Lindsay Chrisley]

gone off on a tangent and I

[Hunter Prestridge]

have a whole list stuff actually, like

[Lindsay Chrisley]

this Confidential, Savannah x Kristen.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I don't know who created this.

[Kristen]

I did. I had a little fun with the. What's it called? The prop.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Wait, so we have to talk about the rebranding for a little bit because

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I feel like that's important.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I've come up with different segments of things that I feel like you guys will absolutely love. And I want to be clear that I want the audience, whether you're listening and you hate it and you're listening because you're a hater or you're listening because you love us and you're just giving constructive criticism. Like, that is totally fine. I want you guys to be honest and say, hey, we don't give a

[Lindsay Chrisley]

fuck a about hearing about that.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Great. Like, perfect. I want to hear it because I want to provide what you guys want to hear.

[Kristen]

Correct.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And I have a ton of life, like me getting kicked in the face before I got on here, you know, so accidentally.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Accidentally, but.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But happened, you know?

That's Q U I N C e.com

[Lindsay Chrisley]

tea the next thing that I'm going to get into on this episode, I don't even know how to start this

[Hunter Prestridge]

because I wasn't necessarily involved in the first place.

[Kristen]

So let's start there.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I wasn't involved in the first place. Like Kristen was a 1099 employee for me. She was a W2 employee for Kale. She worked a set amount of hours for me and a set amount of hours for her. We all know that obviously ended in January when we got sent resignation letters abruptly. I also was not a part of what emails were going on there. I was on the receiving end of what transpired. Right? I want everybody to be able to

[Lindsay Chrisley]

follow Bouncing Balls because you're going to

[Hunter Prestridge]

have to follow because you're going to

[Lindsay Chrisley]

have to follow them.

[Hunter Prestridge]

There was a lifetime special of my family that happened sometime, I don't know when, sometime in 2025 I was referenced and a storyline on this lifetime special that I did not participate in, which I think is actually in my opinion somewhat fraudulent.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Because if you're going to be talking

[Hunter Prestridge]

about somebody, then at least give them the ability to give their perspective.

[Kristen]

Our statement. Statement.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Or a statement like you didn't reach out to my council, you didn't reach out to me, you didn't do Any you just flippantly went and aired this narrative. Right. Great. Love that for y'.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

All that happened and I decided to

[Hunter Prestridge]

do a two part crossover special that I filmed in September of 2025 which aired in October. Let's fast forward to July of 2026. Kale found emails on Kristen's work email that she was working to some capacity for my family members on paid company hours. And how we know this is because we have Google calendars. We know what's going on at what time. If anybody thinks that we're just out here flippantly living and we don't have calendars, that's also an insane take.

[Kristen]

Insane because you live off your calendar.

[Hunter Prestridge]

If it's not. No, if it's not on my calendar, it's not happening.

[Kristen]

Yep.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like that is the rule that I live by. If you. If he called me tomorrow and said, hey, you have to do where's it on my calendar?

[Kristen]

Right. No, not doing it.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Reschedule it.

[Commercial Narrator]

Because.

[Kristen]

Right.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I don't. Your emergency is not mine.

[Kristen]

Correct.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

July 15, 2026. The podcast Talking about certain things regarding

[Hunter Prestridge]

Kristen comes out July 15, 2026. Savannah Chrisley also publicly comments and the

[Lindsay Chrisley]

comment was, to my knowledge, on a Tick Tock post.

[Kristen]

Is that Tick Tock post?

[Hunter Prestridge]

It was sent to me, by the way. I was not a part of any of this. I never allege anything on the podcast that I was just.

[Kristen]

You can go back and listen. You will see that she didn't comment anything on it.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I have no reason to.

[Kristen]

Right.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Because I frankly don't care. So allegedly this was posted on Tick Tock to set the record straight. The email being referenced was an email Kristen sent to meta Representative on May

[Lindsay Chrisley]

30, 2025 after my publicist asked if

[Hunter Prestridge]

she could help us get in touch with someone else.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Meta. My mom had lost access to her

[Hunter Prestridge]

Instagram account after being in prison for nearly two and a half years and was simply trying to regain access. That is the only communication that took place. My parents were never in contact with Kristen and there was never any email exchange between Kristen and my parents. My publicist reach out to a professional colleague for assistance within meta contact.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Nothing more, nothing less.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Facts matter. It's important that false narratives stop and

[Hunter Prestridge]

then that cuts off where the screenshot cuts off. Let's take this all the way back

[Lindsay Chrisley]

when Savannah started her podcast.

[Hunter Prestridge]

When I reconciled with my parents prior to them going to prison.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

October of the year that they went

[Hunter Prestridge]

to prison, we did a family crossover. Was supposed to Be Julie, my dad. Dad and me. Savannah decided to launch a podcast.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

With that being said, I agreed to

[Hunter Prestridge]

my dad that she could have a segment on this crossover to launch her podcast. What benefit does that have to me?

[Kristen]

None.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Because I have established audience in this, this space. You don't.

[Kristen]

You're helping your sister out, right?

[Hunter Prestridge]

You might have clout and tv, you might have clout with maga, you might have clout with the Trump. Like you don't have clout in the podcast space, right? So you took that as an opportunity and you, you ate off of it, right? With that being said, all happened, whatever coffee combos gained zero additional audience from that, we have the analytics. So if anybody else wants to say that that show benefited from that, that is a lie. And we can prove analytics. Numbers don't lie, people. Do you? This all comes out and I sit silently because again, I didn't make the statement, I didn't air it out, I didn't whatever. Allegedly, Savannah was in Kale's dms. I get it. You have Instagram, but you also know she's my business partner, so it seems kind of sneaky. While you're in my business partner's dms, if you have an actual issue, come to your sister. Don't go to my business partner. But you know, this is what we're dealing with. Dealing with. July 28, 2026. But someone accidentally, and don't say I'm breadcrumbing, because I am not, I'm being very careful. Accidentally forwards an email to me that shows an email thread from April 2026 that in fact Kristen was working with Savannah. I'm not going to read all the emails because that. This was supposed to be confidential, but they removed their confidentiality when it got sent to me regarding Savannah's contracts with the podcast network.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

So while it might have worked with the pardon on using certain terms of

[Hunter Prestridge]

such and such, wasn't doing such and such. No.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

In fact, you should have been ballsy

[Hunter Prestridge]

enough to say I was doing that. And since I'm such bottom of the barrel human being, and since I'm so irrelevant, why did you use me as

[Lindsay Chrisley]

a storyline on your Lifetime documentary? Why do you constantly bring me up?

[Hunter Prestridge]

Why have you used after no longer working with us, but met through me, my publicist, who is no longer my publicist. I have a better publicist, but use my publicist that you met through me.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Use me to launch your podcast. Also used my contracts that you paid

[Hunter Prestridge]

nothing for that I paid attorneys fees for for that contract. And you used It. And now you backdoor a situation on an assistant. Good luck. That's what I can say to you. Good luck to you. Because I. I can genuinely say I never wish ill will on anybody. And I would never wish anybody the situation that we were left in. That's what I can say. And for anybody who wants to question

[Lindsay Chrisley]

or if you want to come out and make a statement, I have all

[Hunter Prestridge]

of the emails right here, sister.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

So what you gonna do about that?

[Hunter Prestridge]

Call my co host a liar? Say we're misrepresenting facts? Saying that we are. What did she say? We caused speculation. There is no speculation because the speculation is over. The speculation is over. Also would love to know, since you're moving on and you have a man in your life, are you going to

[Lindsay Chrisley]

change your last name? Because that'll be an interesting play.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Moving on right along. Most unhinged text of the week. I know what mine is. It's official. I'm questioning my sexuality.

[Kristen]

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Well, it's.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And I want to address that because,

[Kristen]

I mean, damn, you in that dress was crazy.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Hunter had fomo.

[Kristen]

Major fomo.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Because he was not with me in charge. Scarlet.

[Kristen]

I was literally sitting there eating sushi and fried rice, drinking a bottle of wine. Like if I was in a rom com live, live, watching the Instagram reels. I had major fomo.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Had fomo. So he was like, send pics or whatever. So I sent the pics that you guys saw.

[Kristen]

Those are the ones that she sent me.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Same photos y' all saw exactly that, by the way, that were allegedly edited.

[Kristen]

Don't you think if we had edited them, we'd have edited the trash can out?

[Hunter Prestridge]

There was no edit to the photo. I sent him the same photo and he said, questioning my sexuality as a joke. We thought it was funny.

[Kristen]

Or was it a joke?

[Commercial Narrator]

Whatever.

[Kristen]

It was a total joke.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I. I say I Madison post the photos. She selects the order of what these photos. I just dropped everything into a Google Drive and it's like a dump, right? Like, post whatever you want. This is like my week. She post it. Becky goes on and comments and says something to the effect of, what is this about? Yeah, it creates a ton of speculation, as if it was regarding me and Becky. That didn't have anything to do with me and Becky.

[Kristen]

Had nothing to do with you and Becky. It was literally me and you.

[Hunter Prestridge]

So I'm upset because Becky also has a wife and people are like, oh, Lindsay's getting a piggyback ride from Becky. Like, they're so inappropriate. They're Blah, blah, blah. I also want you guys to know that Becky is the kind of friend that she knows I've been going through a ton of. And the first time that I saw her, when I walked into that green room, she put her arms out, she put her hands around me, and she said, I love you so much. Are you okay? Took care of me the entire time. Knowing that was the first time that I was going to be in public after all of the events took care of me. So if anybody has a problem with Becky giving me a piggyback ride and being a big sister to me in that moment, that's actually really up. This is also the same person. When we went to a rooftop after the show and got food. Nobody was drinking on that rooftop. We were all sitting around having a good time, eating appetizers, talking about diabolical stuff that nobody needs to know about. We walk back in, and there was a table of roughly 14 men sitting there. Don't know. Could have been a conference. I have no idea what was going on. Becky grabs my hand and she says, I get sick of men looking at women like that like it's a meat market.

[Kristen]

Becky's a real one.

[Hunter Prestridge]

She's a real one. And, like, like anybody that wants to come for her, knowing that she has a baby, also knowing that she has shared so many intimate details of her life that, like, she has mentally struggled since they had their son, and her wife has mentally struggled, and they've had struggle in their marriage since their child was born, but they're, like, actively working through it. And then to put comments out like that, like, that's so, like, we are. People don't understand, like, the intricacies of the friendships or, like, what those look like, because you don't see them every day.

[Kristen]

Well, they don't also don't see the behind the scenes. So what they're saying is, like, they either see you guys in a podcast, right. And that's where you guys are talking and, like, kind of expressing yourselves in that. And then they also see you guys in pictures and then just want to run with a perception of it being something when it's really not so.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And it's just sad to me because, like, I would never want to want.

[Kristen]

It's deranged, for sure.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like, Also, we were FaceTiming her wife.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And, like, Leah knew everything that was going on.

[Kristen]

The fact that people try to come between relationships when you're in the public eye is.

[Hunter Prestridge]

It's just wild to me.

[Kristen]

It's so up.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I mean, I Get the lore. Right? Like, I get, I get it. But at the same time, I'm like, okay, if you guys are actually invested in these podcasts and you're actually invested in the communities and you're actually invested in the host as personalities, you know, actually what's going on? And, like, that's not it. That's not it. Like, that's not what's going on. Like, we also were the ones sitting there leaving Charlotte looking like a hot mess, trying to grab lunch. Becky was on a zoom call for her nine to five. And I'm sitting there trying to figure out what's going on with my life. Like, eating meatballs and eating meatballs. Like, that is what's going on. And so I think sometimes people assume based off of what they think that they see or they make themselves see something, and it's like, that's actually not it at all. That's not what you're seeing. Like, and I do get it. Like, to some degree, I have to take myself out of this position. Right. And I'm like, okay, if I. If I was out of this position, what would I think? So I get the lure.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But at the same time, I don't because I'm like, we're literally willing to come on here and tell you everything about our lives to the degree that we can. And nobody will listen to that either.

[Kristen]

No.

[Hunter Prestridge]

So then what do you do?

[Kristen]

You just keep. You stay true to yourself is what you do. And you just keep telling me the truth.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And I'm like, I'm still going to get piggyback rides from Becky.

[Kristen]

Like, I'll take a piggyback, Ms. Hater.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like, leave me alone.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

rules and restrictions may apply what's your most unhinged text?

[Kristen]

So my most unhinged text was from my partner, my fiance. He texted me and said, said Benson Boone's Instagram story is gonna make me repent tomorrow. And so I literally go to look

[Hunter Prestridge]

and I'm like, are you look at Benson Boone?

[Kristen]

There's the Spidey mask though. The Spidey mask sent me. I was like, so are you trying to tell me you have the hots for Spider Man?

[Hunter Prestridge]

You know what? I was really hoping so that him

[Kristen]

and Alex Earl were about to be together.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I was really hoping that he and I, Alex Earl, after that music video, I was hoping that like love would strike and they would be together.

[Kristen]

We don't know everything. That's the whole point.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But here's the thing. I think he's a vibe total. But I don't think he's clean cut enough for her. Like when I look at her legs or her ex, when I look at her ex, I'm like, okay, it's giving NFL.

[Kristen]

He was NFL. NFL.

[Hunter Prestridge]

No, I know but like I'm saying like her vibes are giving NFL. Or maybe like an executive or like

[Kristen]

I could do baseball.

[Hunter Prestridge]

A baseball player. Like yeah, yeah.

[Kristen]

Not, I mean, no shade to Benson. You're hot. We know it.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But Benson's a vibe.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like got a great bod.

[Kristen]

Correct.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But then unfortunately yesterday when I was looking at the news and I saw that he was kissing an Australian model,

[Kristen]

I said I missed that completely. I know.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I was so upset.

[Kristen]

I'm too busy in this reality to Live in that reality.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I was like, oh my God, why'd you have to do that?

[Kristen]

Damn it, Benson.

[Hunter Prestridge]

You should have just like let it Alex call us. Let it marinate.

[Kristen]

You know, we'll be your new matchmaker.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And then now Alex has like her new show coming out on Netflix. I'm like, that could have been so good. Like her and Benson Boone, like still be good. It could have been. I'm not saying it's not going to be good. What I'm saying is it would have been better if it would have been them. Like anytime you're connected to a musician,

[Kristen]

like for sure lifestyle.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And one that looks like that with a spider man mask.

[Kristen]

Right? The spider man mask sent me.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Let's go.

[Kristen]

Absolute full send.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Let's go, sis. Okay. Weekly crash out.

[Kristen]

Okay, so I just got done pet sitting one of my siblings houses and I had gone out for a night on the town and got home a little late and was just gonna casually take a shower.

[Hunter Prestridge]

A night on the town is crazy.

[Kristen]

Well, it was a little night on the town. And so I get back and I'm like, I'm gonna take a shower, right? So I let the shower water start. I'm waiting for it to get warm. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna lay down and scroll on TikTok for a couple minutes.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Oh, if you guys want to see what the. Lay down and scroll on tickets.

[Kristen]

Tick tock looks like fell asleep in the bathroom floor.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Hold on.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Lay down and scroll on Tick tock looks like.

[Kristen]

Either way, sorry about the water bill. I woke up literally to someone in the house having to turn the water off. My phone had died.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Oh, I found it.

[Kristen]

I still feel very guilty about that.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Lay down and look on Tick tock looks like this. Oh, but you forgot to tell them that you called me and told me that you had this dream.

[Kristen]

I literally thought I was having a like a raunchy sex fantasy dream. And that's like there was like a sexy plumber in the house or something like that. Nope, it was a neighbor. It was a neighbor. They had asked to come and turn the water off. I felt still feel really guilty.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Well, my weekly crash out was me just actually leaving my house and going to Charleston. And I thought I was doing good. Right. I'm like, everything's in place at the house. We know how I am. When I leave the house. It like needs to be in place.

[Kristen]

Oh, for sure.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Leave the house, get down the road, get triple dipper chilies. Like doing great.

[Commercial Narrator]

Dead.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Get there, wake up the next Morning realize hair and makeup. We thought it was booked.

[Kristen]

It was booked.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Evidently they claim it wasn't. Whatever. Come two and a half hours late. Great. We're like, we're vibing. Just gonna make a bagel, gonna get an Alani, whatever, Start some laundry, get all ready, go upstairs, change my clothes, start recording or go to start recording on the couch. I'm like getting set up. I've got my blanket, I've got all the things. I look down at my phone and I have this email that was not intended for me.

[Kristen]

This one.

[Hunter Prestridge]

So needless to say, we were scheduled to record two episodes that day and. And we both crashed out and we're like, no, we're actually, we're not doing this. So we're gonna pack up right now and we're going to Charlotte. So that's what we did.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Yep.

[Kristen]

It was a crash out moment.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Because what was I supposed to do about this after my co host been called a liar?

[Kristen]

We responded cute and cunty.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Should I read the. Should I, Should I read the email?

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Hold on.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I can find it better on my phone. Good evening, Blank and affiliated parties. Just a friendly reminder that Blank is no longer affiliated with Lindsay or Kayl personally or professionally in any capacity. It appears these emails were sent to the incorrect address. For your convenience, we've included the messages below as they seem to be intended for the appropriate party. Should you have any questions or need further clarification regarding this oversight, please do

[Lindsay Chrisley]

not hesitate to reach out.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Going forward, we kindly ask that future correspondence be directed to the appropriate recipient. Regards, Hunter Prestridge for Lindsay Presley.

[Kristen]

Hello.

[Madison]

Hi.

[Hunter Prestridge]

We also 6cc's cuz we're not doing BCC. You know what I mean? Like BCC seems kind of sneaky. Like sneaky like I'm not trying to do a sneaky link type situation.

[Kristen]

Guess how many responses we got back?

[Hunter Prestridge]

None. Zero. Because I want to know how many people shit their pants. You know? And it's also like, why are we out here lying?

[Kristen]

I know.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Don't lie on my name.

[Kristen]

Nope.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Lie on yours. But do what you're gonna do on yours. But don't lie on mine.

[Kristen]

Absolutely not.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And also don't come from my co host. My business.

[Kristen]

Agreed.

[Hunter Prestridge]

You know what? Because now we're getting into the.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

We're getting into the situation of torturous

[Hunter Prestridge]

interference of business and that's a loss lawsuit. So.

[Kristen]

She's also a loyalist, so.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Who? You? Me? Yeah, I'm a loyalist. People who are loyal to you 1000% but do not come for my Business partner. Do not come for my business. I'm saying do not come for anything that my name is attached to. Because if you think that I won't slap a lawsuit, you're already aware I will.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Because you have a notification. I will.

[Hunter Prestridge]

As of October of 2025, respectfully, each of us have to share an opinion that might be controversial. These are some examples. So we're going to go off the examples this week and you guys can write in too of like what you guys would like us to debate. Parents don't need to volunteer for every school event.

[Kristen]

That's more for you. I am not a parent.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Here's the thing, until Jackson got until about fourth or fifth grade, he wanted me to volunteer for every school event. So I feel like as long as your child wants you to participate, then like you. I don't want to say you should. Like, if you can. Yeah, then volunteers. Right. If you have the availability and you can, then do it. But when your child starts saying, hey, I just want to hang out with my friends and I don't want you to see me, okay, I'm going to bow out. And then like, like, maybe I will ask for like the. What's that?

[Kristen]

The thing where you on a field trip type vibe?

[Hunter Prestridge]

No, I chaperone a field trip. Like, he knows he

[Lindsay Chrisley]

we went to Chattanooga.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I'm there. Yeah, like the class genius or whatever it's called. Like where you sign up for stuff. Like you can either sign up to be a volunteer or you can sign up for like donations. So then I started when he was like, mom, like, I'm too old for you to like watch me all the time. And I'm like, okay, then I'll just volunteer to like send the items. And then you get to the point where your child is in sixth and seventh grade and they're like, yeah, but I want you to bring the items. But I don't want to take it to school because I don't want to look like a loser.

[Kristen]

And it's like a loser.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Okay, well now I have to go in to the school to drop off on a little cart in the front desk. Like, so nobody knows that we gave it. Like, I don't care that anybody knows. I just want to like sign up for something. Cuz I don't want to be like, I have the availability that I could go anytime, right? So I don't want people to look at me. And I know that's like something within myself, but I don't want people to be like, oh, well, she's not coming. But, like, she has all the time in the world.

[Kristen]

Depends on if it was on her calendar or not.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I do have all the time in the world.

[Kristen]

You don't. You are booked and busy. You are not just sitting in the house.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I am booked and busy. But, like, I will tell you to cancel something.

[Kristen]

Oh, well, duh. Like, we would know in advance and we would. We would just move something.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Just move something. But if he doesn't want me, if he's like, mom, like, I don't want you watching me, my friends. Number one, I'm questioning, like, why you don't want me to watch you, because you probably do doing something stupid. Number two, like, I kind of get it. Because he wants the freedom.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But then number three, like, I've got to do something to offset, like, now, if you don't want me to volunteer for the time, then I need to volunteer for the product. Respectfully, shoes belong outside. Number one,

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I know you wear shoes

[Hunter Prestridge]

inside your house, and I don't like it.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

It.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And you know why? Because I've read so many studies about all of the germs that come from a shoe inside the house. You're bringing that inside the house.

[Kristen]

I don't.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Why are you doing that everywhere in the house? If you're wearing them anywhere, it's transferring. Well, because if you wear them in the kitchen and then you take them off, then you're walking barefoot somewhere else, and then you're walking back in the kitchen and you're getting all the rest. Remnants from what was on your shoe.

[Kristen]

That's fair enough. And I understand the fact that it's gross. However, let us know how many of you actually take your shoes off and make sure they're off the entire time in the house.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Also, tst, fam. Listen to Hunter when he says, what is my rule about my house?

[Kristen]

Oh, yeah, no shoes in the house.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I don't care who you are.

[Kristen]

I take them off.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Also, if you are a contractor coming into my house, you're getting those little booties. Those little booties, because. What do you mean? Like, I don't know where you've traveled.

[Kristen]

Well, any good contractor is going to come in with a pair of booties.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Your whole life has been on the bottom of those shoes.

[Kristen]

That's true.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like, that's foul.

[Kristen]

It is gross. I need to do better. I hear you.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And that's why Jackson and I don't get sick a lot. Which I kind of get sick a lot, but I think that's my nerves.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

You know, I Think that's anxiety.

[Kristen]

So respectfully, I don't understand why people drive with AirPods in okay. It gives me the ick so bad when I look over and somebody has AirPods in okay.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But let's play devil's advocate on that. I'm waiting cuz David used to do that when we were dating. Okay, okay, whatever.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I don't want to hear your whole conversation.

[Kristen]

That's fair.

[Hunter Prestridge]

So like put in your AirPods and you're talking to that person. I have no business knowing what that person's saying.

[Kristen]

That's fair. But I guess like usually when I see them, they're usually by themselves. So it's like, are you doing that so that you can still have music playing in the background and then have a conversation here?

[Hunter Prestridge]

I saw a girl yesterday when I was at the Apple store and she

[Kristen]

had like, which was a whole diabolical situation.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Hours wasted of my time. No disrespect to Apple.

[Kristen]

No, cuz we love your product, but.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Love the product. Hate what I went through yesterday. Some girl came in there and she had like outdated AirPods. Whatever. She had Apple Care on them. She paid $1.49 per month for Apple Care. She brings them in every single month and trades them out. She looked across, across the table from me while I was sitting there and she said, I bamboozled them every month because I just get new. I just get new AirPods.

[Kristen]

So she's scamming them.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Why are we scamming Apple? Like for, for 1.49. Like why are we scamming Apple? Like I am not a part of this. I don't want to be a part of any scams. We know scams. I've been a part of scams. I don't want to know about scams.

[Kristen]

Yeah, we're good.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like I'm, I'm good on this. She said, yeah, but these AirPods are going to be outdated and eventually they're going to say, oh, we've got a new version so we can't have that AirPod. So I keep coming back every single month because I have Apple Care and I keep getting them. And I'm like, you know what? You're the reason why you are. You know how bad I wanted to say you're the reason why all of our gets shut down because you bamboozled expensive. You bamboozle the system.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And it pisses me off just like

[Kristen]

a lot of people in.

[Hunter Prestridge]

You know what, people wearing AirPods driving down the road doesn't bother me unless they hit me.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

You Know what I mean?

[Hunter Prestridge]

Like, unless they crash into me and they're wearing AirPods. Okay, fair.

[Kristen]

Well, then it's a way bigger deal.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Outside of that, I don't care what they're doing.

[Kristen]

That's fair enough.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Leave me alone. Respectfully, not every tag needs a response. Agree.

[Kristen]

Agreed. 100. If you don't respond to me either asking me a question or no, like,

[Hunter Prestridge]

you text me this morning and you were like, let me know whenever you get out of church.

[Kristen]

Yeah, no need for response on that. You called me as soon as you got out of church. Or it's like, if somebody responds and, like, you're having a conversation and they just respond like, okay, I'm not responding to that. If you. You've ended the conversation. So therefore I'm not going to put any more energy into that. Also, you and I both really suck

[Hunter Prestridge]

at texting, so I suck at a phone, period. Honestly, like, if. If you need me, come.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Actually, don't come to my house.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But if you need me, don't even call us.

[Kristen]

But

[Hunter Prestridge]

I would have a greater response. Somebody ringing my doorbell.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Than texting me like, I'm old school like that. Like, pick up the phone, call me. I know if you're calling me, chances are are it's an emergency because anybody who is close to me knows don't text or call.

[Kristen]

Yeah, agreed.

[Hunter Prestridge]

For what? Like, so what are we texting about?

[Kristen]

The amount of times I've asked this lady to do something on her phone and she's like, how do you do that? For example, downloading apps or logging into them. Do I have a passcode for that? And I'm like, I don't know.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I just did it today.

[Kristen]

I know it happens.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I'm like, what's the password? Passcode?

[Kristen]

And I'm like, I. Let me go to my laptop.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I'm like, I never had a username for that. Like, I don't know who she is.

[Kristen]

Right. Exactly.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah. I hate. I actually hate technology. I hate a phone. And if we could exist, like, my dream life would be to live in this house, hang out on my back porch and have a landline. Like, if I hear it ringing in there, I'm going to go get it.

[Kristen]

Line is insane.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I'm gonna go get it. Why not? Why not? Why is that insane?

[Kristen]

My mom still has a landline and I'm like begging her to get rid of it.

[Hunter Prestridge]

If I could have a landline, that would be great because I know somebody actually needs me in that moment. Like, even my ex husband, he'll just Pull up and I see the notification. It's like, camera detected in the driveway. And I'm like, damn it, it's Will.

[Kristen]

I mean, that's what I would do, you know, if you didn't respond to me any fast enough, I'd first get on the.

[Hunter Prestridge]

That's what will.

[Kristen]

See, if you were at home and if you weren't at home, that's what will us. Then I'd hit the streets.

[Hunter Prestridge]

She's like, she's so annoying.

[Kristen]

Literally, just show it. Shows up.

[Hunter Prestridge]

She's so annoying.

[Kristen]

Walks in the house, kicks his shoes off.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Kicks his shoes off. Oh, he knows better. I know he knows better. Okay, respectfully, RSVP deadlines matter. Yes. But I'm not doing it.

[Kristen]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of a.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I'm not a fan of rules.

[Kristen]

Chronic invitation. Not a fan of those.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I just get lost in the sauce, you know?

[Kristen]

Like, well, if it's also coming from, like, a number that's like, 2, 4, 5, 7.

[Hunter Prestridge]

You lost me there.

[Kristen]

Yeah, I. I would rather in the mail. Plus, I think it's like, a real invitation can be so beautiful, like, the way that people make them. I'd much rather that than something on.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I mean, I love that, but I thinking, like, let's think about the economy. Right? Like, okay, it's easy to do an Evite paper. It's easy to do an Evite, and I get that. I respect it, but at the same time, I don't respect it because I'm never responding.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I'm just showing up.

[Kristen]

That's fair. Honestly, if you want to invite me to a party, just text me and be like, hey, party at this address at this time for X, Y, and Z and all the time.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah. And I'm bringing a gift or, like, an apple appetizer. Like, no, I always am. I'm like, what?

[Kristen]

Can I bring, like, a gift?

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah.

[Kristen]

Like, if I'm coming into somebody's home and they're hosting, it's a host gift.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But, like, the Evite thing where it shows up, like, 2247.

[Kristen]

Yeah.

[Hunter Prestridge]

This is the last one. Being busy is not a personality trait. And I disagree because I feel like we all have the same 24 hours in a day. It depends on you as a personality of what your capability is within those 24 hours. Right. So I only have about eight hours. That.

[Kristen]

Well, you sleep for about eight. Right. Nor, like, anywhere from seven to eight. So that takes. Math is not my strong suit. So.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah. So if I have eight waking hours, that's to 16 at that point.

[Kristen]

So then 16 hours in a day,

[Hunter Prestridge]

and then I didn't look at my phone for the. The other time.

[Kristen]

Right. It really flies by. And being. I think being busy can totally be a personality trait because.

[Hunter Prestridge]

No, because there's so many people that I know that are, like, super busy people that just, like, make it happen. I'm like, how are y' all doing that? Like, how are y' all doing all of those activities?

[Kristen]

They fit it all in.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah, but I'm not a fitter inner, you know, I'm like, is it on my calendar? Right, but how do you get to be a fit? Because those are actually the good people, like, the fitter inners.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Those are the fun people to be around.

[Kristen]

I. I do that.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I want to surround myself with people that are like that, but I'm not like that.

[Kristen]

And here's the truth. I am one of those people. I will fit something in at any point of the day if I can. However, the moment that somebody changes the schedule based off of being fit into my schedule, I'm pissed and don't want to go anymore. Does that make sense?

[Hunter Prestridge]

Wait, re. Say that.

[Kristen]

Okay, so say, for example, you text me, like, last minute after. I've already got a full day of. Not you, but just someone text me. And they were like, hey, do you want to swing by and have, like, happy hour from 2 to 5 tonight? And I'm like, yes, I have that 2 to 5 available. And then I get a text message at like, 2:30 saying, hey, I'm not going to be there till 3:30 or 4:00'. Clock. I'm probably going to leave. That pisses me off. Because I fit you in.

[Hunter Prestridge]

But why are we available for the whole time?

[Kristen]

I'm not.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Is my whole thing I need to know the exact time. Like, I don't need a time frame. I need to know like, three to five or. Yeah, that's four to six.

[Kristen]

That's what I'm saying. No, you're expecting to sit there from four to six with that person.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Well, I'm not doing that. Well, I'm doing the time the one time.

[Kristen]

So you're doing from like four to

[Hunter Prestridge]

five, the one hour. Okay, yeah, that's the one I'm gonna do. Wait. Okay.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

Before we end this off, I've heard rumors from Madison.

[Kristen]

Oh, God.

[Hunter Prestridge]

That you were a yes man to

[Madison]

me,

[Lindsay Chrisley]

and I want to get your perspective.

[Hunter Prestridge]

I'm not gonna speak.

[Lindsay Chrisley]

I just want to get your perspective.

[Kristen]

I am far from a yes man. The amount of time she calls me and she's like, hey, I'm thinking about doing X, Y, and Z. I'm. I will literally tell her no as of today.

[Madison]

Huh?

[Hunter Prestridge]

As of today. When we were in my kitchen and I was like, I think I need to contact. And you were like, no.

[Kristen]

Yeah. I am not a yes man. I do not tell her yes. I mean, there are some things that of course I'm gonna tell her yes to. Like, if it's not really she wants my opinion more or less a request that, like, it needs to be done on a deadline, then yes, I'll say yes. But if there are situations where I think it is not in her best interest, I do not say yes.

[Hunter Prestridge]

And that is also I want people to understand that if something is not in my best interest and I'm making a choice, I'm making it. And I'm. I am literally not consulting anybody. I am consulting myself.

[Kristen]

They've also time times when she's consulted me and I've said no, and she still goes and does it also.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yes.

[Kristen]

Yeah. Which is perfectly fine. I mean, she's a human. She can do whatever the hell she wants.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Wait, so we have to before we end this out, Because I feel like it's going to come out anyway, so we might as well just address it. So how we met and then you were supposed to be working for somebody else, and then you worked for me. Because I feel like that, like, brings this whole episode together, and I don't. I don't want to look like a scam. You know what I mean? Like, that's fair.

[Kristen]

So I met Lindsay at a restaurant I was working at, and she frequents that restaurant or frequented.

[Hunter Prestridge]

It's the only restaurant that I frequent.

[Kristen]

Yeah, well, past tense. But I met them there. And then through that, I also met David. So I previously. I still have a 9 to 5, but I previously worked in the insurance industry. Industry. I did all types of things, and then I worked in it for, like 10 to 12 years.

[Madison]

Right.

[Kristen]

So David literally was saying that he had this opportunity come up and that he wanted me to be the agent of said insurance company. So we go through the works of it. We are basically at the point of signing the contract. It seemed like a great deal. I was very excited to see do it. I felt like it was a new venture in my life and was thrilled. And then I kept feeling, you know, that, like, gut feeling. That's like, I have a bad feeling about this. I have a bad feeling about this. I don't trust something about it. So I consulted with Lindsay Cuz she and I had gotten tight and she

[Hunter Prestridge]

was like also, this is why. While I was still with David.

[Kristen]

Yes, yes. She was like, you know, I. I'm not going to tell you what to do. You've got to make the decision for yourself. And I kept hounding her and hounding her and I was like, I need you to just tell me like a yes or no, like give me advice on this. And she was just, you know, like saying. She basically just said if you are having reservations, it's not.

[Hunter Prestridge]

Yeah, like trust your gut. Right. Like if you have reservations about something, don't do it.

[Kristen]

Like then. And then I started working for her and that was also probably part of With. Oh yeah, with. Excuse me, my bad.

[Hunter Prestridge]

With.

[Kristen]

With working with her. And so I started working with Lindsay and then he got all pissed off that she stole from me.

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