As you enjoy a taste of the tropics from your favorite lounge chair. The essential staycation made possible by Vitamix only. The essential. Welcome back to this week's episode of Unlocked. We are right here at New Year's. This is absolutely insane. I mean, I can't believe it is about to be 2026. And with that being said, 2025 was. Well, 24 and 25 were some really long years for our family. And my guest today, he and I have gone through our ups and downs. So welcome back, Chase.

[B]

Thanks, Savannah.

[A]

What? Why do you look like that?

[B]

I just knew that's what you're going to lead off with.

[A]

Well, that's the only way to lead off with it. We're going into 2020. We're gonna go in with a clean slate.

[B]

But you actually have to go in with a clean slate.

[A]

Yeah, but you just have to.

[B]

I've been doing all my stuff the right way.

[A]

You have, but it just takes a while. Just because you get over something so quickly doesn't mean someone else does.

[B]

Well, I do get over things quickly.

[A]

And before we start, can we please talk about your face?

[B]

Okay. I went to Pam Chaney and I got a laser done. So that's why my face is a little swollen, a little swoll.

[A]

But it looks really good. It is crazy.

[B]

Yeah, it does. Like, right here.

[A]

I mean, so Chase had all these, like.

[B]

I don't know what, like acne scars? Yeah, it was like a scar because.

[A]

When he was in a rough patch, his skin was.

[B]

Why you gotta say it like that?

[A]

Well, I mean, what else you want me to say?

[B]

It was stress induced.

[A]

No, it was not stress. Yes, it was.

[B]

It definitely was.

[A]

No, it was not. It was what you were putting in your body induced.

[B]

That definitely didn't help.

[A]

That definitely didn't help.

[B]

Did not.

[A]

So you and I have, like, not done. I know you've gone on mom and dad's podcast.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

But you and I haven't, like, sat and gone through just everything you were going through, what we were going through, and even on the show, the show didn't, like, touch on.

[B]

Do you regret doing that?

[A]

I don't regret doing it, no. I think I was pissed off at the fact that, like, it didn't touch. More on your issues with, like, addiction and all of that. And I got it definitely touched on it, but it really didn't because then I got looked at as, like, this hateful, mean, bitter person, when in reality, I had the right to be with things that were going on behind the scenes that people didn't see.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, like, I definitely own, like, what the things that I've done. I mean, I was never doing anything to, like, try to intentionally hurt anyone, though, you know?

[A]

Well, no, but I also think that's what comes along with.

[B]

It's like, it's just collateral damage.

[A]

Well, yeah, that's what comes along with addiction is you're go into that, though, like, because you have never truly been, like, open about the stuff that you were doing or going through and how you were feeling and because so many other people can relate to that that are going through something similar.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, obviously everybody was affected when mom and dad, like, went away.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, our family was broken up. We. We're not working anymore. So it's like everything that, like, kind of, at least for me, where I was, like, found a lot of my identity was in things that were. That could be gone tomorrow.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I think that the things that I've learned now is, like, I'm fine. I'm figuring out who I am. Like, actually instead of finding it through, like, materialistic things or through relationships, like, I'm actually figuring out within myself. But I was just. I would use alcohol and a little booger sugar to. I would. That's what I would use to just cope. And, like, I would rather feel nothing than feel, like, the pain that I was feeling, you know? And like, I. It started off in the beginning. I was. I would drink to celebrate or just to go out and have fun. And then whenever everything went down, I started drinking to just escape. Yeah. And I didn't even realize, like, obviously I was, like, destroying myself, but I was, like, destroying the relationships around me. And, like, it does it. I mean, obviously it takes time.

[A]

Well, and too, I think, like, when you are doing those things, like, honestly, you were so bad off that you would do and say stuff and then you would get called out on it and you'd be like, what are you talking about? I never even said that. I never said that.

[B]

Yeah, bro, I'm like, black and out, Savannah. I'm not remembering anything.

[A]

I'm like, what do you mean? You didn't say this? Like, yes, you did.

[B]

Well, yeah, that's because I didn't remember.

[A]

That's good.

[B]

That's why. That's why.

[A]

But throughout all of it, and I think too, even if you flashback on.

[B]

The show, I look garbage. Yeah, I looked really bad.

[A]

It wasn't. But also, you sat there in an interview, and you're like, oh, I'm a month or.

[B]

I was. I really wasn't drinking. I really wasn't drinking then. I wasn't. I was doing all this. But.

[A]

Yeah, see, but that's not being.

[B]

I wasn't sober. Yeah. 100.

[A]

So do you, like.

[B]

But I think when you're in the, like, the. That was a really, really dark time for me.

[A]

Oh, it was. I mean, you were. I remember.

[B]

I thought I was gonna die.

[A]

I remember you, like, came over to the house one time, and you literally, like, your pants are, like, falling off of you, and you're telling everybody, oh, I have these stomach problems.

[B]

I did have stomach issues. No. 100.

[A]

What was stomach issues caused from that.

[B]

Definitely is probably a contributing factor, but.

[A]

But I just remember, like, it was so heartbreaking at how small you had gotten.

[B]

Yeah. I look back at pictures now, and I'm like, God, that's. Why would I even take a picture? Why would I. Why would that. Why was anyone letting me take a picture then? Like, I should never even been on camera. Like, dude, seriously, I looked like. I can't even say what I want to say. But.

[A]

But no, I think you just. And for me, the only way for me to have gotten through what all the crap we were going through was to just shut off. Like, I had to emotionally.

[B]

You've done that your whole life.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So that's your. That's your way of, like, self preservation.

[A]

Yeah. Like, I just had to emotionally prepare. Literally, in my mind, it got to the place to where I was like, all right, I have to be prepared to call mom and dad and tell them that I died. Chase died.

[B]

And. But now I'm in a good place now. So now if I die, you're gonna be real sad.

[A]

Shut up.

[B]

No, but go die. You'll never take a hot shower again.

[A]

I hate you. No, I think going through it. What's so difficult is I think what I struggled with was, like, on the show was, of course, everyone was like, oh, poor Chase, poor this, poor that. And I'm like, people always talk about feeling bad for the person who's addicted to. But they don't talk about feeling bad for the people that have to endure the actions of someone. There is an addict, for sure.

[B]

I mean, the thing about it for me was, like, I've never been, like, the type of person, like, oh, I was, like, craving a drink, you know? Like, I've never been like, oh, I need to drink. I need a drink. But just when I started drinking, well, I was not stopping.

[A]

That's what I mean. I mean, I don't think you can crave it when you're always doing it.

[B]

I don't have any cravings now. Like, I don't. I'm not like, oh, I need a drink. You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, even, like at times, like, when I, like, wasn't drinking, like, I could go like Monday through Friday, and then Friday night I'm drinking till Friday to Sunday, you know? And it's just like. It's like I just. Once I start, there's just not an off switch.

[A]

But why do you think that is?

[B]

I think it's just the way some people are wired. I think that you either have that genetic. I think it's in your. Your genes. I think it's genetic.

[A]

Well, that's the thing. It's like, dad. Will. Dad said something to me and was like, you know, all my kids have issues with alcohol and this and that. And I was like, I can go out and have two drinks and go, you can drink. Shut up.

[B]

You can throw them down. Don't even lie.

[A]

No, but like, I can, like, I can go and have few drinks and then be like, all right, I'm done. I'm at home by 11.

[B]

See, like, I don't. I never had the mindset of, oh, let me go have two beers. I'm like, that's just a waste of calories. Like, that's not fun. That's enough to give you a headache and piss me off. Like, I didn't want to do that if I wanted. If I was drinking, I was drinking.

[A]

Yeah, but I don't believe just because one person, like, is addicted to something that just. Cuz you're related. Oh, you are too.

[B]

No, no, I don't think so.

[A]

No. But that, like, that's dad's mentality.

[B]

I think dad's just so afraid of it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And he, like, he obviously loves us all so much. He doesn't want. He didn't want you to have to go through what I went through. He doesn't want Grayson have to go through that. And like, I mean, you can't really blame him for that. But I mean, well, you also don't have a mug shot either, so, like, that's that.

[A]

There's that. And do you remember getting so pissed off about them putting the mug shot on the show?

[B]

Yeah. Like, why are you gonna kick me twice?

[A]

Oh, geez. Well, I already got kicked.

[B]

I already Got kicked when I got the mug shot in. The whole world saw it. But now you're gonna relive it on our show.

[A]

But what you don't. My. The difference is. And it's what I've tried to tell you. It's what I said. Going into this podcast is like, live your truth every.

[B]

I know, Savannah, but let me tell you something. The truth is not. Sometimes you want to take a part of the truth and just shove that shit away. Like, you don't want to touch. Like, you got stuff you're proud of, and there's stuff. I'm sure there's something you're not proud of. And you don't sit around and talk about all this stuff you're not proud of.

[A]

But.

[B]

But every time I come to a podcast. Let's. Let's talk about all your ups.

[A]

No, it's not. It's about.

[B]

I got some good qualities, too.

[A]

You do. And that was what was so hard about when you were going through all, like, when you were doing all the stuff that you were doing was like, I know Chase has, like, one of the best hearts out of anybody I know. I know you would do anything for somebody that you love. But in the.

[B]

When I was drinking and stuff like that, I. I was so. I was very selfish.

[A]

Oh, very.

[B]

And. But I wasn't even, like, trying to be. I was. But, like, when you're like, that's just who you were. Destroy. Yeah. Like, you're a different person. I was a different person.

[A]

But that's the thing is, like, in the midst of addiction, you are like, that's. And I think that was the hard thing for me to grasp is, like, this is not him speaking. These are substances speaking.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because I felt like that was giving you a free pass for your behavior.

[B]

But it's really not a free pass because, like, inside I knew that I was being a piece of. You know.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, like, after I went away and, like, sat through a lot of therapy, like, I, like, broke down and I was just, like, sobbing, and I was like, God, like, I don't know how I'm. Like, how anyone else is going to forgive me. I don't know how I'm going to forgive myself because, like, I was just. I didn't give a shit about anything.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, like, I was just going and going and going. And, I mean, I'm grateful that I learned these lessons in my 20s than in my 40s or 50s.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But. Because if I would have kept on the way I was going, I would have Been dead.

[A]

Are you? I would have given you three more months of that.

[B]

Yeah, probably.

[A]

Like, I. I mean, it was awful.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I mean, the. I remember there was. It was one night that you were out acting a fool and somebody called me to let me know, and you're like, yelling like, why the f. Are you calling my sister?

[B]

Yeah, bro, I don't know why everyone. Okay. If you're in a bar and I'm. We're doing the same damn thing, so why are you calling and telling them? I'm gonna call you.

[A]

You're not doing the same thing. Just cause we're in tomorrow doesn't mean I'm acting like an asshole.

[B]

And I don't know. When I drink, I definitely. I definitely have it. I can either be really happy or I can be a monster.

[A]

Yeah. And that just. I don't know.

[B]

But it's like. It's not worth it. It's not worth it for that monster to come out.

[A]

No, it's not. It's not worth it because you're in a much better place now.

[B]

Yeah. Then I got six months over.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So you went. I don't think a lot of people realize, but you went to rehab.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And when was that?

[B]

I went at the end of July.

[A]

Okay, so not.

[B]

Not quite six months. Right. At six months.

[A]

Okay. So right when. Pretty much when mom and dad got home.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So it took them getting home to.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Knock some sense into you?

[B]

I think, like, when mom and dad came home and obviously, like a lot. That's. I mean, you. Without you, that would have never happened. So I think when they got home, I finally was like, okay, like, I can. Like, the pain's over, you know?

[A]

But how do you now that? So they come home, you go to rehab. How do you not fall into the same pattern again when the going gets tough?

[B]

Because, like, I still had. Not all been great. Like, I've definitely. I still got a long way to go for to get my shit all the way back together. But, like, it's just not. It's just not an option. Like, I don't surround myself with the same people anymore. I don't really. If I'm not doing something like this or with someone in the family, I'm at home.

[A]

Well, yeah. I mean, Dad's been your babysitter 247 now.

[B]

He's my friend. We work out together.

[A]

Nah, Y' all have become. First off, these. Damn.

[B]

None of you. Are you jealous, bitch?

[A]

No.

[B]

You are so jealous.

[A]

Dad. No. Mom even said, I don't want the.

[B]

Workout videos out there either. It makes me highly uncomfortable because he's in there doing, like, some really sideways stuff, and I'm like, bro, there's other people in here. And like, I hate working out. Like, I don't care what anyone says. Yes, it's good for you. Do I feel better after? Yes. But during it, I hate it. I hate.

[A]

Because I'm giving you a code for good girl, so.

[B]

And I'm gonna shoot that shit up.

[A]

But I'm telling you, when you're doing it, you'll want to work out.

[B]

I mean, I'm still working out.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I'm definitely. I'm gonna stick with working out, cuz I like food too much.

[A]

But I think working out's kind of.

[B]

Kind of what?

[A]

It's like, you know when you hear, like, taking a jab?

[B]

Me right now.

[A]

No, I mean, I'm not taking a jab. No, you said it yourself, it sucks. No, but you're saying, like, you know, it's like, you know when you hear about people, like, doing Ozempic and, like, it just. They like, out. You know something?

[B]

Are you trying to say that I'm you? That is not true. I'm at a healthy weight, bitch. I'm fucking 175 pounds. That is some sets so sideways.

[A]

This is why people.

[B]

This is why people in. First off, you don't have to tell every conversation that we have some needs to be private.

[A]

You came to me.

[B]

Plastic surgery. It's not because of people online talking. It's because your own family will tear you down. And let me tell you something. In this family, they are quick to tell you to go get under a knife.

[A]

Well, I didn't say go get under a knife. I just said try. Good girl, Rx. That's all I said.

[B]

This gonna plug her products and tear me down. This is some messed up.

[A]

No. Yeah, dad. You and dad have become. And mom even said it. Dad loves the child who needs him the most.

[B]

Savannah, why are you such a hater? He loves you more than he loves it. Oh, my God.

[A]

No, he does not, bro.

[B]

Savannah, no, he does not. I gotta call him three times before I can get him to answer. You call him, he answers. I've seen it happen. Like, he. He loves you more. That's fine. All I'm doing is going to the gym with him. I don't know why that's such a big deal.

[A]

Okay, well, now, y', all.

[B]

This is how. This is what's toxic. This is toxic behavior. You should see a therapist about this. What is toxic, Savannah, the one that needs him the most. I'm doing it. It is fine. I'm doing great right now. I'm in the best spot mentally and emotionally that I ever have been. So if he doesn't. I would suck if he didn't want to be my friend anymore. But I'm just working out with him. You can come to the gym if you want to come work out. Come work out if you want to come. You're more than welcome to come first off.

[A]

And two, that is my trainer that I put him with.

[A]

Yeah, Gunner. Oh, I put him with Gunner at that gym.

[B]

I don't want you going near Adam.

[A]

Why?

[B]

Just cuz I love them. Adam's a dog.

[A]

Shut up.

[B]

Adam is a dog you don't need to go near.

[A]

I love them. They're great.

[B]

Gunners, great. Gunner's great. Adam's great too, but he's a doll.

[A]

No, Adam and Gunner are great.

[B]

[A]

You're not working out tomorrow because dad's in Arizona and you're gonna sit here.

[B]

And tell me that he loves me more. He's ditching me to go with you.

[A]

He's making money.

[B]

He should go.

[A]

Yeah, like no. And are you going to? Yeah, I gotta work out by myself. Yeah. You won't go. Probably not, but you are. I will say I am very proud of you. I am sorry for things that I have said.

[B]

Want to dive into that.

[A]

I mean, a lot of things I've said are warranted but you know, good.

[B]

Thing for me is I was hammered and I don't remember it.

[A]

That is great. See, but this is when you know that you're doing good is when you can like your sense of humor comes back.

[B]

Yeah, I didn't have a sense of humor when I was not like my highest selling attribute.

[A]

It is. And that was the thing was like you couldn't even joke with you because you would turn into Satan.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, bro. He was in there for sure. The devil was on both shoulders.

[A]

So now going into this new year, what would you like to see happen?

[B]

I'm really excited about the stuff that we're doing with the seltzer with gold drop and what is that?

[A]

The seltzer tell people that don't know. I mean I know what it is.

[B]

But I don't know if you know all of it.

[A]

Well, yeah, I mean it's a non.

[B]

Alcoholic, but we've kind of Transitioned it a little bit, so it kind of caters to everybody.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So we've taken out all, like, the dyes and the additives, and, like, the. We took out the high fructose corn syrup, so now we have just pure cane sugar.

[A]

That's awesome.

[B]

We only have 9 grams of sugar and 36 calories, so it's like an alternative to soda now, too.

[A]

Oh, that's awesome.

[B]

Yeah. So I hope that that does really well.

[A]

And why was that, like, an important project for you?

[B]

It started out because I was. I got sober, and so I wanted to do something that could help other people, and it's definitely great for that. And then now that I've, like. I'm, like, working out and stuff, like, I. I love a Coca Cola, so I'm trying to, like, get off of that, and if I can get off of that on something that's good, you.

[A]

Can have Diet Coke.

[B]

Diet Coke's garbage. That is not good.

[A]

I love it. Okay, so you have now your gold drop, which I like. That's amazing, though.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What you're doing.

[B]

And, I mean, the taste is so much better, too, since we've taken all that stuff out.

[A]

I also think it just helps with your sobriety, like, knowing that this is something you've created. This is the message that you stand behind and you push it forward.

[B]

Yeah. And I think a lot of, like. Like, when I got sober, like, I was drinking to forget, you know, like, towards the end. So, like, the place that I went to was actually. It was amazing. I mean, it wasn't really, like. It was more of, like, intensive therapy than it was. I mean, you definitely had, like, classes that, like, talked about, like, the effects of, like, alcohol and substances and stuff like that. But, I mean, I was doing a lot of therapy, like, every single day, and I got to work through, like, a bunch of stuff that I had just buried down.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, like, laid it to rest. Honestly. I had. And, you know, I was against therapy, but I'm telling you, that changed my life. If it wasn't for the therapy part, I don't think I'd probably. I wouldn't have figured out all of what was bothering me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because, like, obviously, mom and dad being gone, that really bothered me. That was. That bothered all of us.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But, like, I had a lot of, like, issues, like, from my past that I didn't even realize, like, were affecting, like, the way I was making decisions. Like, the. It was affecting me. Like, the. My relationships, the way I was acting, the things I was doing. And I Didn't even realize that. But once I sat down and talked through all of it, I mean, I was able to, like, let it go. And once I let it go, it immediately felt like a.

[A]

Like a weight was lifted.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Honestly, I think this next year, you should go see Dr. Amen and have, like, the brain scan done.

[B]

That's a little. I'm not gonna go that far.

[A]

You should it. Because what it does is it will show, like, the white matter and, like, all the parts of your brain highlight.

[B]

To my mom and dad how much. How many times I'm getting up.

[A]

No. What? It just shows the parts of your brain that aren't firing that have kind of died, that are, like, laying dormant, but due to drugs and alcohol and all these things, and then they supplement you with all these crazy different vitamins.

[B]

That fixes it.

[A]

Yes. It can actually reverse.

[B]

But what if it takes away my sense of humor?

[A]

I think you're going to be fine.

[B]

You sure?

[A]

Yeah. I don't think it's going to do that because it a part.

[B]

Oh, whoa.

[A]

No. Your sense of humor. It's quite interesting. And to show you guys the effects that drugs and alcohol had on him, we were sitting at Thanksgiving.

[B]

Chill out, Nancy Reagan.

[A]

We were sitting at Thanksgiving, and Chase looks at our cousin and goes, savannah, no, don't. Chase looks at our cousin, goes, so, Amber, how's your dog? And Amber goes, it's dead.

[B]

He died two years ago.

[A]

He died two years ago. Chase, how's your dog?

[B]

My dad. My dog died, too. Yeah, but I got a new puppy.

[A]

But that's what she said. She goes, how's your dog? Because you'd, like, totally forgot that she put her dog down.

[B]

I did. Yeah.

[A]

But that. We all were in tears. Dying, laughing.

[B]

I can't believe that.

[A]

Dying, laughing. And too. I just love. I do. I love your sense of humor. Like, our family group text when I was in the Cayman Islands was money.

[B]

Yeah. I'm just waiting till I get kicked out of that.

[A]

Yeah, well, Chloe left. I know. Chloe left the family group chat. Like, literally left it. Hold on. Oh, Grayson is texting now. But I do want to go back and. Oh, gosh. There's so much stuff. But can I expose it? We were talking about. Also Chase said that I have fumbled, like, three billionaires. That is not true. Not true. Not true. The fumble or the. How much money they had? No, the fumbled. I. There was one that was just, like, believed in, just, like, rescuing people. And I don't need to be rescued, so I was good.

[B]

Tell them to Come rescue me. They can come rescue me.

[A]

All right, I'll. I'll let them know that. But, y', all, it was just, like. It was hilarious.

[B]

You can. You, like, clip that and they can, like, show it on the screen?

[A]

Yeah. Well, I did send them a text. It was videos of me and Cayman. And Chase was like, I'm so jealous. And then he sends this picture right here.

[B]

Oh, Culver's. I. I love Culver's.

[A]

Yeah. Sends this. And I said, you and dad FAs. And Chase said, don't worry, girl. When my money hits, I'm gonna be a good girl. Rx. Skinny. Yeah, I said. And then I said, all right, family, gather around. I just want everyone to know this is the life mom will be living. 250ft of yacht perfection because she supported me from day one.

[B]

I supported you, too. I posted all your shits when I posted that makeup. I posted the good girls. I posted the podcast.

[A]

Look, he's trying to make sure he's on this. This list.

[B]

I don't want to go on a boat in the middle of the ocean with you. You'll kill me. You would throw me. I'd be, like, looking at the view and you'd push me off.

[A]

That's such a lie. I said. As for the rest of you peasants who did not support me, don't worry. I've got something special lined up for you, too. A whopping, all inclusive, action packed, luxury experience aboard the bubblegum shrimp boat. Yes, you heard me. You'll be casting nets while mom is sipping espresso on the helipad. Choose your alliances wisely moving forward.

[B]

Drink espresso.

[A]

I know, but she will. When she truly gets, like, the finer things, you know she's going to love it.

[B]

She's not poor. She. She's had nice in her life. She's done, like, coffee.

[A]

I didn't say that. I'm saying she needs to learn how to, like, define her things.

[B]

Like the you so bougie.

[A]

Like the caviar and the espresso.

[B]

Politics changed. You shut. Politics has changed.

[A]

No, it hasn't. I just. Chloe likes caviar.

[B]

That's a problem.

[A]

Savannah Grayson loves caviar. I had to buy them each their own 10 because they wouldn't share with each other.

[B]

That's a problem, too. You should have made them go dig up a hole in the yard or something. And then manual labor.

[A]

Chloe left the chat.

[B]

Yes, she did.

[A]

But it's fine.

[B]

She never joined back in.

[A]

No. Cheat. She gives zero.

[B]

Yeah, I know she gives zero.

[A]

And she's the only child that I know that will actually fight back with dad.

[B]

Oh, I fought back. I just lost.

[A]

Yeah, well, yeah, you did. He got you on the ground one day.

[B]

Yeah, bro. He's strong as.

[A]

Dude, I know.

[B]

He's really strong.

[A]

I know people wouldn't.

[B]

People wouldn't think it, but, like, we were. We were at the gym.

[A]

It's like, that crazy.

[B]

It was like £285, and he was just cranking them out, and I was like, I'm not doing that. Are you crazy? Get a forklift or like, no, no.

[A]

I'm not doing that.

[B]

I'm not doing that shit. I'm out of here.

[A]

That is amazing. Okay, so throughout this past year, what is some of the key things that you have learned that you're going to take with you into this next year?

[B]

My faith, for sure. I think the lesson. I don't want to forget about, like, how bad things got for me, because that's a constant reminder of, like, okay, this is why you should stay sober.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, like. But also, like, I'm, like, definitely appreciative, like, where my relationships are now because, like, I'm very thankful for that, you know? Because, like, going from what it was to what it is now, it's like, night and day.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm extremely grateful for that. So, I mean, just. I'm just gonna try to be, like, the best person and the best version of myself and a better man every day. And as long as I'm doing that, I think everything will work out.

[A]

Wow. I'm proud of you and I love you and I'll get back to liking you again. We're getting there.

[B]

Like, I'm not. I'm a nice dude.

[A]

No, I love you.

[B]

I'm nice. I'm funny.

[A]

Yeah, you are.

[B]

You just don't. You don't. I try to call you. I. Let me. Let me tell you how messed up Savannah is. I text her all the time. I'm like, here we go. I'm like, hey, just checking up on you. No response. Hey, just checking on you. No response.

[A]

That's.

[B]

Hey, just check. No response.

[A]

That's not true, bro.

[B]

I have the receipts.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I sent Savannah this long prayer that I get, and you're sending this to.

[A]

Me while I'm, like, in the middle of working, in the middle of doing things?

[B]

Really? At 1107pm that was asleep. That's a lie, too. You did not sleep at 11. You're up until 1 o' clock every morning. I sent her this nice Prayer with a Bible verse, everything. No response. Tech. That was on December 7th. I text her. No response. Texture.

[A]

December 10th.

[B]

December 10th. I said, are you okay? No response. And I didn't hear from her till this past Saturday.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And she asked me, she said, have I gone to in and out. After I sent all these nice texts. I'm gonna save my shit.

[A]

Oh, December 7th. First, I was traveling. December 8th.

[B]

Savannah. You have your phone. When you travel, your phone's in your hand. You're always on your phone.

[A]

I was enjoying my company. So I wasn't really on my phone.

[B]

That's a lie. You're always on the phone around me.

[A]

No. And then I was. Where was I? I was at Mar a Lago.

[B]

Did I take your phones away?

[A]

Shut up. I was busy. Okay.

[B]

But I'm high waisted. Ass jeans.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

I do need to get better at responding to texts. Yeah, I do.

[B]

Not to everyone, but like, damn.

[A]

Like, I know, but I think I.

[B]

Just said, are you okay?

[A]

I have finally gotten to a place of where, like, I'm ready to let go of just like anger and resentment. And I want to make things right. Life is too short. And so I want to put it.

[B]

To escape is just like, genuinely be nice. Like, don't give a backhanded.

[A]

But like, if I don't give you a backhanded comment or.

[B]

That would be great. That'd be awesome.

[A]

Then I don't really love you.

[B]

That's not a way to, you know.

[A]

Like, if I don't screw around with you, then I really don't love you.

[B]

You should go to therapy, bro. I cannot get over how those jeans are about to touch your titties, bro. Those are the highest waisted jeans I've ever seen.

[A]

Because I'm sitting down.

[B]

Nah.

[A]

Yes. Look when I stand, you're pulling them.

[B]

Those are still high. That's above your belly button.

[A]

That's what high waisted is.

[B]

That's not waste. That's stomach.

[A]

This is high waisted. No, your waist is here.

[B]

This is your waist now your waist is down here. Where your jeans are at. Where your jeans are supposed to be.

[A]

No, your weight. No. Whatever. Well, I Love you. Happy 2026. I hope life is great to you. Life has been really good to me.
