Aaron
Welcome to Two Sons and Me. You know who I am, and my son Grayson and Chase. There you have it, folks. Two sons. So how's it going, guys?
Grayson
Oh, it's going good.
Chris
Another day in paradise, right? Living the dream. One nightmare at a time there.
Aaron
There you go. You know your mother, I was doing the podcast Chrissy Confessions, and she goes, I have to say that I have so many people that are messaging me saying how much they love two Sons and me. And I'm not gonna lie, she got, she's, I mean, Aaron, she's a little jelly, right?
Grayson
Little salty.
Chris
I think as much free time that she gets, she's. She's happy with.
Aaron
She's a little jelly. She's. She's a little jelly. And so thanks to all of you guys. It's doing great, and we're very appreciative of that. So some of the things that I have been getting here lately are they would like to talk more about. They'd like us to talk more about where we are in our life right now, where we hope to be in 10 years or five years. Or also talk about. Because we've had this segment on Christa Confessions talking about raising adult children, and now I'm getting questions from two sons and me wanting y' all to chime in and say, what is it like being parented as young adults? So y' all want to get into that today? Good with that today.
Chris
I guess
Aaron
so. There you go. So what when I talk on Christly Confessions about raising adult children, it's about y' all are at different places in your life now, and it's different trying to help an adult child versus having to deal with a child that's still in school or whatever. Grayson, from your perspective, do you still Feel like you need to be parented.
Grayson
Yeah.
Aaron
And in what regard?
Grayson
So I think it's. I could still make some stupid decisions.
Aaron
Okay, you do?
Chris
I think I need to be parented.
Podcast Guest/Advertiser
Yeah.
Chris
No.
Aaron
Okay.
Chris
I think that. I think 30. I mean, it should turn into more of, like, a mentorship than a parenting thing.
Grayson
Like, advice wise.
Aaron
Gotcha. Like that.
Grayson
Maybe you shouldn't.
Aaron
So let me. Because y' all are not unlike the majority of this generation that we're dealing with right now. What good does it do a parent to give you advice and then you turn around and not take it?
Chris
I mean, it just gives perspective.
Grayson
Yeah. You can look at it from a different. Through a different lens.
Aaron
So if I tell you, don't cross the street.
Grayson
Well, I mean, there's been certain times that you giving me advice has changed my decision on stuff.
Chris
Yeah, same.
Grayson
And I think it has.
Aaron
Do you believe that? Because I feel like that from my perspective and from all these other parents that are. That are reaching out. Like, I just got another message just now. But your generation, you want advice, but then a lot of times you don't take it. And so I feel like that.
Grayson
But that's not on you. That's on.
Chris
I feel like that's ever. That's been everybody. I feel like at some point.
Grayson
I mean, I agree with that. I feel like you can give advice, but you can't make somebody take the advice.
Aaron
Right.
Chris
Yeah.
Aaron
Do you feel like that?
Grayson
But that's on a. That's on us. It's on anybody else.
Aaron
But when a. When a parent says to you, okay, done, go, do you. At that point, you don't get to be pissed off because the parent has just thrown their hands up and said, I surrender. You want to screw up? Go screw up.
Grayson
Yeah, I don't like.
Chris
I think it's.
Aaron
You don't. You don't like that, right?
Chris
Well, no, I just think it's a. A deeper conversation. It's more about delivery.
Grayson
I do agree that sometimes delivery matters a lot.
Chris
Like, just throwing your hands up and saying you're done. Like, that's not that.
Grayson
You're just like, you know what? Screw it. Go do what you're going to do. What do you think that's different than, like, you ain't going to listen anyways. You're going to do what you're going to do. Like, the conversations you have with me, sometimes you say you're going to do what you're going to do anyway. I feel like that's different than I've given up. I'm done. I'm not. I thought you get what I mean with me differently than.
Aaron
Do you not think that a parent has a right to a certain level of peace?
Grayson
No. Yeah. I feel like you can't find your
Chris
peace in somebody else.
Aaron
No. You can find your peace with not being aggravated by somebody else.
Chris
You have peace within the God.
Aaron
No, God. God delivers you peace, but God also tells you to use common sense. So you can't be going back and doing the site revisiting the same thing over and over and over and then saying, oh, God, I don't have peace. At some point, you've got to throw your hands up in the air and say, I surrender. I'm done with this. How do you feel?
Grayson
And I feel like everybody's got a breaking point. It is what it is.
Chris
Everybody definitely has a different way of doing things.
Grayson
I feel like there's no one way that works for everybody.
Aaron
I think that in my perspective, I think that when as a parent, you raise your child to a certain age, that that parent needs to. Basically what you just said earlier, different perspective, is that you now have to look at us as not just parents, but also as human beings.
Grayson
Yeah. I feel like that changes the older you get.
Chris
It definitely does.
Aaron
And you should not be treating a stranger on the street better than you treat your flesh and blood.
Grayson
I agree.
Aaron
And if you look at it from a perspective of saying, you know what, my dad is at this. Is at this place in his life to where he's dealt with enough, so let him have this. Let him have this minute, or my mom has done this, and, you know, and she. She raised 10 kids and she. She's done all this. Give her. This is her time. Let her have it.
Chris
But I think that you interpret things as being malicious. And sometimes life just happens.
Aaron
When I'm talking about in hypotheticals here from. From all the people that are messaging me as well. But what are you saying that I take as whatever you just said? Malicious?
Chris
I think that you think. You think the majority of people have a malicious intent.
Grayson
Well, I mean, also look at what. You and I have talked about this before, though. Look at what's happened to us.
Chris
Yeah.
Grayson
A lot of the people around us have had a malicious intent.
Chris
Yeah.
Grayson
So when you go through that so many times, you say you ain't gonna let it happen again, but I don't think you.
Chris
It's just different with every relationship, with every person is different.
Grayson
No, I agree with that.
Chris
I'm not gonna let one person who was a scumbag ruin or make me doubt somebody that's been good to me.
Aaron
Well, I don't think you do that.
Grayson
Think it's someone that has been good to you. I think it. I think it's more. I mean, obviously, if you know somebody, you know somebody.
Chris
Yeah.
Grayson
Like.
Aaron
But do we really ever know. Do we really ever know someone? I mean that. I mean, that's even child, parent. Because I don't know everything that job done.
Grayson
I feel like you can to a certain extent.
Chris
Yeah. I'm pretty sure you know I've done.
Aaron
No, I don't know everything I've done.
Grayson
I feel like you can to a certain extent, but I feel like it's impossible to completely know someone.
Aaron
Right. Because I believe that. I believe that.
Grayson
I feel like you can know someone about 95.
Chris
Yeah. No, there's 5% you don't.
Aaron
I think it's about 60. If it's 60, then I don't need to be around you if it's either. If it's 60, that I'm neither dumb
Chris
so much that goes into that.
Aaron
Yeah, I feel like that. I feel like that people genuinely create a Persona that they want you to believe and that everyone does and that
Chris
they play social media culture and that
Aaron
they play that role. If they see that it's working for them, then that's who they become.
Chris
That's like fake it till you make it right.
Aaron
And. And I'm not. I'm not about that. I want to. I want authenticity. I want to be able to know who I'm dealing with and. Or not. I want to deal with you. At the end of the day, I want to know if I want to deal with you. And to me, the person who is. Who is the fraudulent personality is really doing a disservice to themselves because they're having to be someone that they're not. Anytime that they're around me gets draining. Yes.
Grayson
You see people on Instagram posting all kinds of crazy stuff, and I'm like, it's got to be draining to keep that up.
Aaron
Well, from your perspective at 20, what do you think that social media has done negatively?
Grayson
Negatively, yeah.
Aaron
What is the negative impact that it's had with you?
Grayson
I mean, where do I start?
Aaron
So it's been that. So it's. It's had that much of a negative impact.
Grayson
I mean, especially with us. Like, people come at us on a daily basis.
Chris
Who gives a?
Aaron
You know the girl.
Grayson
You and I both know you. We all say we don't give a. But it can catch you on a bad day. It can. Anything and you're just like, I think
Chris
that'll get, that'll get better when you get older.
Aaron
I can genuinely say it doesn't. I don't give a damn what anyone says to me about me.
Grayson
I don't either. I just, it pisses me off sometimes.
Aaron
They don't even get that kind of anger from me.
Chris
Talked about them. I'm not going to lose a follow.
Grayson
We talked about in past podcast. If it's not, if it's something about me, I don't give a. I don't care. There's something about anybody else and I'm like that person.
Chris
Like, I think it online is one thing.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
I.
Grayson
There's a lot of tough going back at people.
Chris
See, I don't do that. I don't like. I'm not going to give someone that kind of.
Aaron
I used to do it because I viewed it kind of like sport. If I was bored, I could cuss you out.
Grayson
Something about mama the other day and DM'd me and I DM'd him back and I said, the best thing for you to do is to find a salad. And I started going and it's about seven or eight messages just going in on them. And it did make me feel better.
Aaron
Well, listen, I mean I. I have felt better, you know, when I've told people off. But now I just don't feel like, first of all, you just don't mean that much to me.
Chris
But if somebody says something in person, like they're getting there.
Aaron
Well, if someone says something in person, they gonna catch hands.
Grayson
We already talked about that.
Aaron
Hands. Forehead. I might spit in your face. You know, it is what it is. But I think that I was watching a thing the other day and it's so odd to me that we've been doing this social media now for a long time. Since 2015.
Chris
Years.
Aaron
Yeah, we. Yeah, 2012.
Grayson
Six.
Aaron
So 2012 was the show. So we've been. And we were trained when they brought the people in from New York to teach us how to use Twitter and all that stuff.
Chris
That's so new then.
Aaron
Right. But we've been dealing with it now since 2012, so you might as well say 14 years.

Aaron
How many people have to be catfished before they realize they're being catfished? How many people on social media have to have to look at a picture and not know that that picture has been face tuned or, or whatever? I mean I don't believe shit that I see on social media.
Chris
You put a lot of thought into this.
Aaron
Well, it's because I just think about. So because I watched this thing the other day about the kid who committed suicide and because of social media they sued Meta, they sued Google, they got a settlement out of it and the courts have ruled that the, that Metta and these other platforms need to be more involved with these young kids in this social media.
Chris
Well, I think that's the parents job.
Aaron
Well, it can't be just the parents job because I was on top of all of y' all and y' all were the biggest liars around and was. I'd take a phone and y' all would be on a damn. What was the thing that you got music on?
Chris
I don't know.
Aaron
No, what was that little pocket thing that you listen to music on? Whatever the hell that is and y' all would be logging in and doing it on that.
Chris
No, back then you couldn't do it on that. You could only listen to music. It was an ipod. Yeah.
Grayson
You can't then.
Aaron
That's not what it was because.
Chris
And you destroyed ipods for no reason.
Aaron
Well, I have.
Chris
Because you couldn't understand technology, right?
Grayson
Probably when I was freshman in high school, he would take my phone, but he never took my last phone. So I would just turn it on and use that one.
Aaron
See how shitty. And then y' all wonder why. Parent says, I'm done an iPad. Or are you talking to.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
He's.
Chris
He throws my shit in bodies of water.
Aaron
I think that for, you know, for me, I hope that within the next few years that we will see kids getting away from all this social media, that they will have another form of communication. Parents will reduce the screen time or literally just don't give them the damn thing. Don't even give it to them until you absolutely have.
Chris
You can't tell.
Grayson
Like, if you see kids that aren't allowed to have screen. Like younger kids aren't allowed to have screen time versus kids that are on an iPad 24 7. It's a complete difference in how they
Aaron
act, in what way.
Grayson
There's so. They act so much better.
Chris
Well, their brain development. It affects brain development. Yeah.
Aaron
Well, then there you go.
Chris
A lot of kids need their asses popped.
Grayson
Yeah, well, that's part of it too.
Chris
But I mean, I don't think that they're gonna. I don't think people are gonna move away from it, especially with AI. I think people are.
Grayson
It's one of those things where it would be. It would be great if they did, but they're not. Like, it's not gonna happen. And people make too much money off of social media. There's too much. It's never going to happen.
Aaron
I think it's. I think it's sad because it's caused your generation, and many and generations after y' all to lose the ability to properly communicate.
Grayson
I feel like it's affecting.
Chris
That's probably more his generation than mine.
Aaron
No, I don't think so.
Grayson
I would agree with.
Aaron
Because y' all have been. You've been on whatever going on people's face or profile or whatever and saying, hey, but are just introducing yourself and people sending to you on Instagram that y' all don't know.
Grayson
But it.
Aaron
So your generation has done that.
Chris
I feel like you're just talking about fans messaging us.
Grayson
It's picked.
Aaron
I'm talking about girls reaching out to y', all, guys reaching out to my girls, and y' all doing the same thing. That's not the way you're supposed to properly date.
Chris
Well, yeah, but I mean, it's not necessarily the. It's not necessarily Bad. It's just a different, different time. Technology's evolved. I mean, we don't operate by phone books and it's. It's never phones on the wall anymore.
Grayson
Like I said, it'd be great if it did, but it's not going to go away. Like, if your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle, but she doesn't, so she's not. So.
Aaron
And they wonder why. I surrender. I saw on the news yesterday that this girl claims that she's made $100 million with only fans.
Grayson
I wouldn't.
Chris
Surprise. I would do everything that she's done
Grayson
for that I would do.
Aaron
So you would be a Only Fans or.
Chris
Absolutely. 100 miles. Taxes or no taxes.
Aaron
Well, you know that I. You might end up in the camp if you get sideways with taxes.
Chris
I'm saying, are taxes included? Like do.
Aaron
Yeah, taxes included.
Chris
So then what? I'll clear like 60. Mm, yeah. I'll shake some ass for 60 mil. No doubt.
Grayson
Definitely think about it.
Chris
For sure for 60M's brother.
Grayson
Think I'd probably do it.
Chris
Oh, my God, dude.
Grayson
I'd probably do it.
Chris
I'd be doing the helicopter. What is that you? You know, what the hell?
Aaron
What is the hell?
Chris
Yeah.
Aaron
What. What is this? Just tell me what it is and stop acting like I know the what's clacking.
Grayson
It's where you swing. You switch your dick between your legs and it hits up against your thigh.
Chris
And the helicopters, when you make it go around.
Grayson
Yeah, you just go.
Chris
You. You wouldn't do that for six DMS.
Aaron
Not clacking at 58 for nobody.
Chris
For $60 million, you would not clack it.
Grayson
You tell me you wouldn't clock 60 million right now.
Chris
Mitch, you.
Aaron
Is it cashing?
Grayson
So I know.
Aaron
Is it cash?
Grayson
Yes.
Aaron
After tax, I get 60. I'll clack the hell out of it.
Chris
That's why over here judging us.
Grayson
That's what I'm saying.
Chris
I mean, we're all whores for money.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
People say 20.
Aaron
This girl claims that she's still a virgin and made 100 million.
Chris
There's a. Allegedly, there was an NBA player that offered her 15 million for her virginity.
Aaron
Yeah, she's not 15 million cute.
Grayson
I don't know.
Chris
Apparently to him, somebody offers me 15 million. To lay it down, nobody's offered me $15. No one's. What?
Aaron
Well, they can't offer you 15 because you'd be. Why would someone pay when they. When you're willing to give it for free?
Grayson
I'm just saying, you know, it'd be nice Feel valued to me, then withhold
Chris
to be a hooker.
Grayson
Hey, money's money.
Chris
No, no, not. Not all money is good money.
Aaron
So I've learned what clacking is. And what was the other one?
Pluto TV Announcer
Propeller.
Chris
Helicopter.
Aaron
Helicopter. Helicopter and clacking. Gotcha. It's a classy group of people I'm surrounded with today.
Grayson
We just filmed an all episode about how we're not classy.
Chris
I'm classy.
Grayson
No, you were a part of that episode saying you were trash too.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
I'll.
Chris
I will someone up if. If they run their mouths, but other than that, I'm classy.
Aaron
I used to know you were helicoptering. I wouldn't say that's classic.
Chris
Only for 60ms.
Grayson
I'm a classy broad.
Aaron
You were clacking for 15.
Chris
You did say 15.
Grayson
No.
Aaron
Yeah, you said I. No one's even offered you 15, so, I mean, you are the cheapest host sitting on the in this room.
Grayson
It's a joke.
Aaron
I don't know. You look like a 15 clacker.
Grayson
What does that say about you? You raised 15.
Aaron
Let me tell you something. I was a hoe back in the day, son. And at 18 years old, I got a car in a townhouse. So I was not clacking for free at 18, and it was not $15. That'll be, I think chapter nine of my book Reformed. Hope so. Do. Would you do only fans legitimately? Would you really go on Only fans?
Grayson
We can't keep talking about this because people DM me on Instagram when I'm starting my only fans.
Aaron
So would you do an only fans?
Grayson
How much am I making?
Aaron
I don't know.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
How would I know?
Grayson
It's a big. That's a big part.
Aaron
Well, you won't. You don't know unless you do it. Just.
Grayson
I wouldn't just be like, oh, my God, I'm starting only fans today.
Chris
Like, if only fans came with an offer. That was a hefty offer. Yes, they came with an offer.
Aaron
I would not.
Chris
You're so full of.
Aaron
I would never. They offered you a home. I am married. I would not disrespect my wife.
Chris
Not like having sex with people, but just other.
Aaron
I'm not showing my Jimmy to people.
Chris
Please.
Aaron
Well, at the time that half of South Carolina has seen it, they are now so old that they don't remember it.
Chris
Half Only fans comes to you and they're like, todd, we'll give you a hundred million dollars and we want you to do only fans for three months. You wouldn't do it, but what am I doing. You might have to tug it. You. You might have to spread your cheeks. Twerk to that.
Aaron
I'm not doing all. No, I'm not.
Chris
No, I'm not. Actually, you know, somebody's rich.
Aaron
I'm not. That does not. That number does not move me for that. And what about. I'd have to. And I'd have to face my friend Sherry. There's no way in the world that I could spread my cheeks and be doing what y' all say and Ms. Sherry find out that I was doing that. Sherry, don't you worry about it, darling. I'm not doing that. That was back in the day.
Chris
I would twerk like a Magic city stripper for 100 mil.
Aaron
But we know that you should be able to do that.
Grayson
I would do it for 100 mil.
Aaron
You would clack for 100 mil.
Grayson
I would clack. Like, for 100 mil, I clack my dick off for 100 mil.
Chris
100% done.
Grayson
You wouldn't even have to think about it.
Chris
Well, folks, you would do it.
Aaron
No, I wouldn't.
Chris
Nobody would be able to reach me after nude photos.
Aaron
No, I would not. For my grandchildren to come out here and see that. No, I would not.
Chris
I would be like, listen, this where
Grayson
your inheritance came from?
Chris
Well, not mine. Mine are definitely written out.
Aaron
No, I am not going to be doing such as that.
Grayson
Okay.
Chris
Billion.
Grayson
A billion.
Aaron
I'm gonna have to explain to my grandchildren why I did it.
Chris
Yeah, there you go.
Aaron
Your grandfather was an expert clacker and that's why you're in that Ferrari today. So then you both would do the only thing.
Grayson
Yes.
Chris
If there was a guaranteed offer. Yeah, I'd entertain it.
Aaron

Chris
No.
Grayson
No, never had to.
Chris
Me either.
Aaron
Would you consider a dating site?
Chris
Why would we?
Aaron
Okay. Do you think that you would ever be open to doing a show that to where you were lost and looking for love?
Progressive Insurance Announcer
No.
Chris
No.
Grayson
That's the neediest I've ever seen. I hate those shows.
Aaron
So you wouldn't do it?
Grayson
Let me go sign up to broadcast my dating life to the world. That's the dumbest shit.
Chris
Well, we did that. Literally.
Aaron

Five years, I'd like to sell one of our companies, have some kids and stay sober.
Aaron
Well, folks, for me, in five years, I will be 40
Chris
and we're the liars.
Grayson
No one's gonna know his real age.
Aaron
That's the whole plan. And after some up and coming changes, I might not be.
Chris
But
Aaron
in five years, I want to be. I want to be in a very happy place and a peaceful place. I don't want to be worrying about where the next deal's coming from if I'm ever doing another show, which I won't be in five years.
Chris
What do you mean? Then there's always going to be another deal.
Aaron
No, I think that there's a.
Grayson
You can work until you drop dead. Because you can't. You can't.
Chris
You can't. Not you, not. You're an earner.
Aaron
I don't. It's different doing it when you love to do something versus doing it when you have to do something. You know, if you love the job that you're on, then it's. It doesn't really ever feel like work. But if you hate that job, it's work every day.
Chris
Yeah, but I mean, like, the stuff that we're doing, like, it's really changing people's lives because it's better ingredients. It's a lot of.
Shopify Testimonial Speaker
It's.
Chris
There's a lot of legwork in it, but the. The payoff is worth it.
Aaron
Well, I want to be in five years not having to worry about the payoff. I want to be in five years being able to.
Chris
So you want to exit before five years?
Aaron
I will exit. I'll exit within 18 months from now. But for me, five years from now, me and your mom doing our thing, traveling, seeing our grandkids, whenever we're in town.
Chris
You act like you don't do this shit now. I just got back from the Caymans.
Aaron
Okay. But I'm leaving again in a week
Chris
to go to the Bahamas.
Aaron
No, I'm actually going. I'm actually going to California, then. California to. Well, I'm going to California because I'm going to be in Palm Springs, then from there to the Bahamas.
Chris
So that's literally. Yeah, you prove my point. You do that, all that right now.
Aaron
I want to be able to be at a place in five years to where your mother and I are just going and doing whatever it is that we want to do. Y' all are all in a good place. We don't have to worry about y'. All you're handling your own. Your own lives.
Chris
That's literally happening.
Aaron
That's not. Now y' all act like I don't have to still worry about. Y' all have to.
Grayson
That's. You don't worry about us until the day that you die, but half the time, I don't even know where you're at.
Aaron
That's not true. I talk to you a hundred times a day.
Grayson
Yeah, but then you're like, well, I'm here. And I'm like, I didn't even know you were leaving.
Aaron
You didn't know I was leaving when? Next week?
Grayson
No, I'm just saying, like, sometimes I will call you, and you'll be like, I'm in so and so. And I'm like, hell, I didn't know you were going anywhere.
Aaron
Well, I mean, your mother's kind of gotten this itch to, like, not stay at home.
Chris
Yeah, I'm sure that's her.
Aaron
It's certainly not me.
Grayson
You know, he don't like to travel.
Chris
Yeah, that's true.
Aaron
It is not me. But. So, like, I'm gonna be away from y' all for, like, six weeks. Well, you're coming to meet me in Palm Springs.
Chris
You.
Aaron
Who knows what you'll be doing?
Chris
Working.
Aaron
So you'll come see me in Palm Springs because I'm booking golf for you. And how long are you going to stay with me?
Grayson
How long y' all there?
Aaron
Well, you can stay with me for, you know, forever, but, you know, I'm going to be there. I think two weeks.
Chris
Yeah.
Grayson
You know our limits. Usually a week.
Chris
I think ours is about an hour.
Aaron
Ours is. Now he's saying that our limit is a week because we don't like to stay away from home for more than a week. We did leave early, and we left being home. We left the girls down there. I literally. Grayson said, I'm gonna go home. I want to go. I'm gonna go home on Wednesday or whatever it was. And then he comes walking in the room, and I told Julie, I said, if he's going home, I'm going home.
Grayson
You know what is so nice?
Chris
Y' all sound like some spoiled bitches.
Grayson
You know, it's so nice.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
What?
Grayson
That I can ask mom to change my flight. And it's not a huge deal.
Chris
It's not.
Grayson
Well, because usually it would be. You're not going home. You're not doing that. I asked her. She goes, okay. I was like.
Aaron
But I think that that goes back to when you know, as a parent that you have done what you need to do that, you do have a certain level of comfort. If your child has not given you trouble and you know that they're going to be okay, then you do feel more comfortable and saying, okay, he can go do that. You don't think there's a part of that there?
Chris
Well, he's 20.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
Yeah.
Aaron
But I mean, he's never given us any trouble.
Grayson
I just don't like, don't get me wrong, I love vacations. But like four or five days, it's a lot.
Aaron
And, and you know, we're alive.
Grayson
Two weeks is a long time.
Aaron
Yeah. And we're. And we're a lot.
Chris
I mean, to be understanding.
Grayson
We were in the cabins in a three bedroom place with.
Chris
I would have jumped off the top floor, six people.
Aaron
Oh, that's a lot. Grayson.
Grayson
Wait, that was.
Aaron
Does that come across as entitled?
Grayson
I'm just saying with our family, it's a.
Aaron
It's a lot. But we. Because we are a lot.
Chris
Well, let's turn down the we.
Grayson
No, no, this is a we, we thing. If you got the last name.
Aaron
I mean, I literally said to your mom, I said, listen, when we travel, they have to have their own space. We have to have our own space and they have to have their own space. Don't you agree? Because I think that we're all adults now and it's not meant for adults, that many adults to be living with each other for an extended period of time.
Grayson
Too many big personalities to be in a confined space.
Aaron
Yes. And I have lived with too many adults for long enough. I do, I think now. We had a great time. Yeah, we had a great time.
Chris
Great time.
Aaron
But it was time. Like Savannah is still there.
Grayson
I don't understand that.
Aaron
She has literally been there for three and a half weeks and has another two weeks that she just told us. But do you still stay a couple more weeks?
Grayson
Do you not find any comfort in like being at home, having a routine like.
Chris
Yeah.
Grayson
Stuff that you are used to having?
Aaron
Like, that's me.
Chris
Yeah. But like, I. I think I enjoy new experiences more than anyone else.
Grayson
I like a new experience, but I like a short new experience.
Aaron
Yeah, that's me. Let me experience it and say I
Grayson
didn't leave, like when I went to Italy. That was a lot of fun.
Chris
Yeah.
Grayson
Could I stay in Italy for two weeks?
Chris
No.
Aaron
You don't think you could do Italy for two weeks because we're doing. That's your mother and I are going in. I think it's into September and we're there for two weeks.
Grayson
I'll Come for a week.
Aaron
You were there for two weeks. And I'm, and I'm a little, I have a little bit of anxiety.
Chris
Dude, listen to what you are saying.
Grayson
Italy's fun. It's just about who you go with. Because I could have had some better ideas. But I learned my lesson.
Aaron
I am good with. But you know, we're gonna be, we're not going to be like in one place in Italy. You know, we're going all over and we're doing this bike tour in Tuscany.
Chris
You should scrap that.
Grayson
Yeah, you're gonna hate that.
Aaron
Why?
Grayson
Because everything you hate, you're, you're, you're not.
Aaron
I don't have any problem with my legs. Oh, when do I have a problem with my legs?
Grayson
Same guy that complains about where he broke his leg hurting all the time.
Aaron
That doesn't. I had the thing to the screw taken out. I am good.
Chris
You guys should just make sure Ferraris and drive.
Aaron
I'm not.
Grayson
That would be.
Aaron
We're doing the, the bike thing. And this tour company, you start out on your bike and then they, they go like two miles up and wait.
Chris
And if you radomike up a hill.
Aaron
No, you start at a certain point and then you. And when you start, there's a van that goes in front and that van goes up say maybe like every two and a half miles. And then you catch up to the van, the van's waiting on you. If you say, okay, I've done two and a half miles, I'm not doing this anymore. Today they load your bike up and then they take you to the next location.
Chris
Mom is going to hate that.
Aaron
Well, I mean, she's going to be touring all these just bed and breakfast places where she, where they do. She gets to cook with all the locals. And you go from one location one day and do these certain kind of foods and then you go to the next location, you do a different kind of food. And the food, and the food is, is per region of Italy.
Chris
Well, you don't like to try new
Aaron
food, but I like Italian food. So I mean, I will try those.
Grayson
Pasta, Pizza.
Aaron
Yeah, pasta and pizza.
Chris
I'm good.
Grayson
We made pizza when we were there. That was fun.

Aaron
But you said that the food was so much better.
Grayson
So much. It shits on the food here.
Chris
Yeah, because all of our stuff is loaded with.
Aaron
Damn.
Grayson
You always hear them chemicals. You always hear them say that like, you. You feel so much better after eating than you do, like, there than you do here. And I was like. I was like, you know, might be true, but I got there and then actually, like, realized it. And I was like, holy.
Aaron
But how would you rate the pizza there to here?
Grayson
Oh, so you can't compare.
Aaron
So it's better than Pizza Hut, dude,
Chris
obviously, that's a slap in the face to the whole country.
Aaron
I love pizza.
Chris
Pizza Hut is garbage.
Aaron
Oh, my God. That is a lot. I love pizza.
Chris
Pizza Hut is not good.
Grayson
Papa John's Little Caesars are three of the worst. Walk away.
Aaron
What is it?
Grayson
Papa John's Little Caesars and Pizza Hut.
Aaron
Don't put Pizza Hut in there.
Chris
Papa John's is gas.
Aaron
What's the place here that I love so much?
Grayson
The saunas?
Aaron
Desanas. I love Desano's Pizza.
Grayson
The place is really.
Aaron
Yeah. I love Desano's pizza here.
Grayson
I'd say that's the closest you're getting.
Aaron
But you. But you said the pizza there is way better than that.
Grayson
Oh, yeah, it's way better. But that's as close as you're gonna get.
Aaron
Like, you know, Terrence, Terence, when we were at our camp, all those. A lot of those men down there, they would eat Terrence. They would eat mackerel. And Terrence used to say, I'm gonna get me some of that mackerel juice and put it in my panties, and I'm going and sitting in the TV room.
Chris
That is the worst smell. Instant, instant gag. You gotta do the smell test.
Grayson
Oh, my God.
Aaron
Let's move on. I'm back to Italy. So what was the thing that you did that you would say to Me and your mom. You gotta do this.
Grayson
Making the pizza.
Aaron
Make your own pizza.
Grayson
Yeah, dude, Coliseum is bad.
Chris
You should do the Ferrari experience. I would love to do It's.
Aaron
But that's. Y', all, that's.
Chris
I mean, you get to drive whatever far you want around.
Aaron
If I wanted to drive one, I'd go to my daughter's house and get hers.
Chris
We get it. I'm just saying it would be a cool experience. You asked us.
Grayson
It would be cool.
Aaron
I'm going to go to Italy. Then I'm going to Monaco.
Chris
Monaco is badass.
Grayson
Me. I gave you the idea. You're welcome.
Aaron
You come in there too.
Podcast Guest/Advertiser
Yeah.
Aaron
Okay. So I'm going to go to Italy. I'm going to do Monaco and then I forgot. What? Oh, Greece.
Grayson
We're doing Greece and Dubai.
Aaron
I'm going to do my trips and then I'm coming back. By that time it'll be getting closer to the holidays. Then I'll decide who I like in my family at that point as to whether or not I'm going to be spending any time with them during the holidays. And if I'm going to be buying all anything, I'll see you next year. And I would encourage y' all as much as I can to make sure that y' all look and see what the girls are giving their mother Chris for Christmas. And y' all need to look.
Grayson
Yeah, well, I'm not a billionaire, so
Aaron
you need to be banging one. If you don't have it, you need to. You need to marry it.
Chris
No, go, go make it yourself.
Grayson
I'm making them. I ain't letting nobody tell me what I can and can't do with my money. That's myself.
Chris
Say it with your chest.
Aaron
You're gonna make your money yourself.
Grayson
You think I'm ask somebody for.
Aaron
Well, no. If you do it right, you would be asking shit. They'd be asking you to lump to borrow money from them if they left.
Chris
You definitely do not marry for money.
Aaron
Definitely. It is as easy for you to love somebody with money as it is for you to love somebody broke.
Chris
If you love them, it's a different. But don't let that be the reason
Aaron
because let me tell you something. There's a lot of people in love tonight. That's going to be at hungry.
Chris
Yeah, but there's a lot of people in love that are happy. And there's a lot of rich, rich, rich people that can hate each other when they go to bed at night.
Aaron
Well, that's because they don't know how to Spend their money. Because I can assure you that if I married someone for a billion dollars, they ain't a day that I'm going to be miserable. Not one day. Nope. Not going to happen. There is something I can buy that will help me get past this day. You piss me off. It just cost you a Bentley, Dad.
Pluto TV Announcer
You.
Aaron
Yeah, but I pissed myself off just so I can go buy myself something. Because it's time for me to be nicer to Todd.
Chris
Yeah, because that's what we're lacking.
Aaron
Yeah. Yes, it is absolutely what we're lacking. There is no respect. I get no respect. I do not get any loyalty. I get very few gifts. That is going to change.
Chris
I just bought you a pair of sixteen hundred dollar boots.
Aaron
Yes, but now that was kind of a starter gift. There are some other things that need to go along with that. I'll send you a list. Grayson, you need to get better with your.
Grayson
I'd be buying it with your money. You want to gift yourself?
Aaron
I do that already. But you need to do only fans to where you can buy me nice things. Do your propeller thing or whatever y'.
Pluto TV Announcer
All.
Aaron
Clack clicking or clacking or whatever it is. Do that and get enough to buy me a nice gift for Christmas and make me feel kind of Kris generous.
Chris
Well, if you would have kept us on air as long as they've been on, you would have been getting Christian or gifts.
Aaron
None of y' all were willing to do what those girls have done.
Chris
Yes, we are.
Aaron
No, they work all the time.
Grayson
What will I not do?
Aaron
Well, I just said I'd clack my
Grayson
dick between my legs for money.
Chris
I work all the time.
Aaron
Well, do it in the Beverly Hills Hotel so we can get a video. No, not that I would leak it or anything.
Chris
You sick?
Grayson
You bet. She's serious.
Aaron
I'm just saying that y' all could. Christian or me if you want to for Christmas. It would be a nice thing. It'd be a first. You know, your sister's always kind of like done a little bit better in the gift department than y'.
Shopify Testimonial Speaker
All.
Grayson
Savannah has a lot more money than I.
Chris
You also treat Savannah a lot better than she.
Aaron
Oh, my God.
Chris
I was not a hard child to raise.
Grayson
Mama.
Chris
Mama has just said that I was easy.
Aaron
You were an easy baby. You were not an easy child. When I say child, I mean adolescent.
Pluto TV Announcer
Go ahead.
Aaron
Teenage. Like what, Chase?
Chris
Nothing. It's not.
Aaron
He was in the principal's office all the time.
Chris
Yeah, well, that was that. Not all the time.
Aaron
I had to go. I knew every Staff member by first name and how many kids they had.
Chris
So it wasn't like you and Wyatt
Aaron
were in school together. Wyatt, you're here.
Chris
Okay.
Aaron
Were y' all great students?
Chris
Yeah, I wasn't a bad student.
Aaron
But I will say that we did.
Chris
I had a three, nine.
Podcast Guest/Advertiser
We.
Aaron
Thank you, papa.
Grayson
That's what you said.
Aaron
Thank you. Thank you, Wyatt. I think we had fun.
Grayson
But that's what you're supposed to do.
Aaron
I mean, didn't you have fun?
Chris
He did have fun.
Shopify Announcer
I.
Aaron
My parents did not have to come to the school for me because I didn't get in trouble.
Grayson
Response.
Chris
No, you just didn't get caught.
Aaron
I wasn't doing anything in school.
Grayson
Well, if you didn't. If you didn't get caught, it's all allegedly.
Aaron
I did not do anything. I did not.
Chris
I.
Aaron
You have to understand the difference in the generations. When I went to school, dude, what he. The teachers could beat your ass.
Grayson
I was about to say that.
Aaron
They're beating the shit. John Sam Smith had a paddle. And I went to that office one time, and I thought my ass was literally at the gates of hell. It was that hot. Well, he never had to paddle me again. Then I got my ass lit up by Brian Jenkins when I was in the sixth.
Chris
This is why you need therapy.
Aaron
And he paddled me, and no one ever paddled me again. Because I learned my lesson. Y' all didn't have that because they couldn't touch y'.
Grayson
All.
Chris
Yeah, that would have been interesting.
Grayson
Do you. You would have killed somebody if they touched.
Aaron
A hundred percent. Because that's my job to raise my child. But with that being said, no school ever call me about Savannah or Lindsay. But yes, my boys, Lindsay and Savannah
Chris
just didn't get caught.
Aaron
Whether they got caught or not, no school has ever called on them. You and Kyle, the school called on all the time.
Chris
You can't.
Aaron
You went to the trouble chasing pair that all you had to do was get up and put on your uniform every day.
Chris
Okay, I forgot about.
Aaron
And then he steals a belt from some fat kid in the locker room. That was that literally. The belt was so big that he had to wrap it around his body twice.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
Yeah.
Chris
You know why? Because I was afraid of what you would do.
Aaron
Clearly not. Are you to war your belt?
Chris
I forgot it at home and I wanted to find a face.
Aaron
Who steals a fat kid's belt?
Chris
It's the only belt I could find.
Aaron
I'm like, are you kidding me?
Grayson
And his defense, I didn't have my belt half the time either. But I was terrified.
Chris
I was like, my dad's gonna kill me.
Grayson
I blame mom for that.
Aaron
I'm Aaron. I go to the school, and the belt is this long.
Chris
That shows you how afraid I was.
Grayson
Committed. Yeah, it's commitment.
Aaron
Yeah, exactly. I'm like, are you kidding me? Right? And I walk. Soon as I cut that corner and I saw him sitting there, he was like. It was like he had a stroke. It was like he had a stroke. Mr. Chris Lee, do you know. Do you know why you're here? I go, no, but I'm quite sure you're getting ready to tell me. Well, I was thinking that, you know, maybe. Maybe this school is not the best fit for your son. And maybe we should look at Riverside Military Academy.
Chris
Yeah, right.
Aaron
And what did I say to him?
Chris
He said, I want you to do me a favor. Turn around. See all that dirt getting moved across the street for that new building that's happening because of me. So the chances of Chase going. The chances are you'll be at Riverside before Chase is.
Aaron
Now, folks, the only reason that I pull that guard is because he was being a little rude.
Grayson
Didn't you have to donate gym equipment one time?
Aaron
I donated. I have donated to keep y' all in school or get y' all in
Grayson
schools because of me. He had to donate gym equipment because I beat the out of a kid. But in my defense, I was defending him.
Aaron
Don't dis. Don't.
Grayson
He was talking about him, and I whooped his ass.
Aaron
Did he say I was gay?
Grayson
He did.
Aaron
Damn it. I would have never guessed.
Grayson
I whooped his ass outside, and they said to keep me in the school. He bought them gym equipment, but.
Aaron
So you come in here and tell all your business.
Chris
Now he's.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
He.
Chris
There's been no problems with him. That was one time.
Aaron
Yeah.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
And that was.
Aaron
That was one set of gym equipment
Chris
you didn't have to do.
Aaron
I had to help build. I had to help build buildings to keep y' all in.
Chris
Well, somebody ran them out. They got their ass beat. That still stands today.
Aaron
And then you got in the fight.
Chris
Which one?
Aaron
Then you got in that fight that time at the picnic table with some kid.
Chris
No, it was a dorm.
Aaron
I should have known. You'd have been around.
Chris
No, this is a different school.
Aaron
This was at Mount Pisgah where you got in that fight there.
Chris
Yeah, we destroy. I put him to the stalls. Dad had to pay for brand new bathroom.
Aaron
See, this is the folks. I'm going to end this podcast because my children get too comfortable in telling all their business.
Chris
You're the one that just brought it out.
Aaron
You talking about, I regret reminding them of how poorly they have behaved in their life. So I hope in five years, when I have grandchildren.
Chris
Hope you go mute in five years.
Aaron
I won't, because I'm going to make sure that I maintain my voice in my memory so that I can tell all of my grandchildren how poorly their parents have behaved. So that way, when y' all try to spank them for doing the same shit y' all did, I'm going to say, but don't you remember when you did this? I am going to officially turn into Nanny Faye.
Chris
So you literally are not going to have any growth, is what you're saying.
Aaron
No, I'm. I think growth is boring.
Chris
Except for your bank account.
Aaron
Well, I want that to grow, Yes. I want that to grow a lot so that I don't have to put up with anyone. On that note, folks, I do. So on that note, folks, good luck and God bless you.

Podcast: Two Sons and Me
Host: Todd Chrisley (Aaron in transcript)
Sons: Chase and Grayson Chrisley
Release Date: July 10, 2026
This episode dives into the challenges and comedic realities of parenting adult children, the evolution of family dynamics, the role of advice, technology’s impact on communication, social media pressures, and the future aspirations of each Chrisley family member. The conversation is unfiltered, honest, and laced with the trademark Chrisley humor, moving seamlessly from serious family moments to lively debates about OnlyFans, travel, and pizza preferences.
The episode is lively, self-deprecating, and filled with familial teasing. The Chrisleys’ banter is as irreverent as it is heartfelt, moving from blunt honesty about parental frustration to hilarious hypotheticals about selling out for OnlyFans. The family dynamic oozes both love and sarcasm, making the serious points relatable, whether you’re a parent or an adult child.
For listeners seeking a mix of real talk and laughs about growing up, holding boundaries, and trying to stay authentic in the age of social media, this episode offers a slice of life—Chrisley style.
Memorable Closing:
