[Chase]

this week's episode of Unlocked. Normally you will see either Just mom with me on the podcast or just dad, but today we have them both. So pray for me. Welcome, mom and dad.

[Mom]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Chase]

So we just came up on a year since you both got full presidential pardons from President Trump. It's been a year.

[Dad]

Yes.

[Chase]

It's kind of insane to look back and think, you know, we just had Mother's Day last. Mother's Day was a little different than this Mother's Day, so we're definitely gonna dive deep into all of those things. We're also gonna talk about dad's new business venture, Good guy rx, and also Good girl rx, to where they both are now coexisting under one roof. But his is for all things. You know, for your husband, your son, your boyfriend, your friend, whoever it is. So when we talk about that, all things guys. Yes. So when we talk about that, you'll definitely want to listen if you want to help him. But going into things. Oh, and too, it's not all going to be serious because we are going to have you rate Some of that Met Gala looks okay.

[Dad]

But don't be asking me nothing about people that I don't know, because I just talked shit last week and said about Megan the Stallion.

[Chase]

Megan the Stallion.

[Dad]

Megan thee stallion. Getting her toe blowed off. And. And then I find out because my friend Chaplain Dixon sends me this whole thing, and she said, you understand that Megan wants to do an assisted living. She wants to do this on open trust. She says she's really got a lot going on. So, Megan, let me say to you that due to my ignorance of not knowing who you are, I may have made light of the fact that you only have nine toes. I did not mean it that way. I think that's a horrific situation. But you hand it well, you got a Bentley out of it. So I apologize. Okay. Go ahead.

[Chase]

So, look, we're already off to a hot start. Making wrongs. Right. This is great.

[Dad]

Right?

[Chase]

So it's been a year.

[Mom]

Yes.

[Chase]

What does a year out actually feel like?

[Dad]

I mean, certainly you are appreciative that you're home and that. And I'm speaking for me, I'm grateful that I'm home and that I can go and do everything that I've always done and that I can work every day and be productive. But I'm not going to lie, some of the shit that y' all put us through, still, my camp had a little bit less stress at times.

[Chase]

There's no way. First off, I dealt with that camp, too. There was a lot of stress.

[Mom]

A lot.

[Dad]

Yeah. And y' all are a lot of stress, too. But go ahead.

[Chase]

Excuse me.

[Mom]

Well, I'm going to say that, yes, I am so appreciative of it. I am also. I. I stop and think every day how, you know, so many people that come out of prison, you know, they have to fight to even get more freedoms. You know, whether it's at a halfway house or home confinement, which is so confining, you know, I mean, it. It really is a lot. And so I don't take that for granted because we were able to come home and step right back into our lives.

[Dad]

Right.

[Mom]

And I think that's. That's definitely something that I think about more and more every day, especially when I talk to people who are just getting out or who are struggling in this, trying to get out of halfway house, trying to, you know, find their way and trying to make it work. You know, you try to rebuild relationships, but you're on home confinement and you can't leave your house.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Mom]

You know, and so it's Just, it's so crazy. The system still is just so broken because a lot of these people have way more freedom in a halfway house than they do in home confinement. And it should be the other way around, you know, it should be this tear down process, you know, prison, halfway house, home confinement. But it's not. They have way more freedoms in the halfway houses than you do when you get to home confinement. So that's definitely something that we need

[Dad]

to work on, I think. Yes. And I mean, I agree 100% on that also too.

[Chase]

But as we're going throughout this podcast, when I ask you questions about you, I want you to keep it focused on you.

[Mom]

Well, it's hard to do.

[Dad]

Well, I can get the hell up, walk out, shut up. I have quit better jobs than this.

[Mom]

No, but I'm saying I am super grateful to be have been able to celebrate Mother's Day because last Mother's Day, I wasn't home, you know, and that is a hard day. You know, any holiday is a hard day when you're not with your family and the people that you love.

[Dad]

So, yeah, I was working out this morning with someone who's in the entertainment industry, and he asked me in the gym, he said, how are you doing? And I says, I am better than I deserve. And he said, well, I don't know about that. He says, I think that we're all supposed to be blessed.

[Chase]

I love that.

[Dad]

And I literally had my trainer to send me a text with that quote, because, you know, who's there with me when I go work out. And, you know, he. He's very quiet, doesn't talk a lot. And when he said, I don't know about that, he says, I think that we're all meant to be blessed.

[Chase]

I love that.

[Dad]

And I thought, wow. And I came home and I told your mom, I said, this is what he said. And it truly resonated with me because really, we should all be blessed.

[Chase]

Well, I just had a woman come on my podcast and she was. She got lung cancer in her 40s, never smoked a cigarette in her life, but she started up an organization to where cancer doesn't care. Like cancer doesn't care if you're rich, if you're poor, if you're Democrat, Republican. Cancer does not care.

[Dad]

Neither does prison.

[Chase]

Exactly. So what did you feel like? Or what did you think the first year out was going to look like? And what was the most wrong version of that that you had in your head?

[Mom]

Well, you know, for me, I thought that I would be coming out of Prison by myself. Like, your dad would not be with me because his sentence was longer than mine. So in my mind, I had already, like, played this. This whole scenario out that, okay, I got to get out. You know, of course, I will be able to talk to him, so I'll be able to kind of follow his lead on the plan that we set forth so that I'm ready when he gets out, that, you know, I will try to get things going however I can. And so it was just so different because we were able to. To be out at the same time. So I guess that was the biggest thing for me.

[Chase]

Yeah, well, because before we ever were on the pardon route, all she would ever talk about was, well, when I get out, then I can go visit him, and then I can do this, and I can do that. And she. That was the only image of life that she had when she got out was, all right, well, then I can go visit. I can do these things that you're doing.

[Dad]

I think that the biggest thing for

[Pantene Advertiser]

me

[Dad]

is that how real it is, how we really have just jumped back into our life. You know, we're really back in the same thick of things and, you know, negotiating shows and doing all that kind of stuff, you know, which I had said, no.

[Chase]

You literally just said, no, I'm not coming back to tv because he wants to act like he's too cool.

[Dad]

What I said on Two Sons and Me was exactly what you and I had discussed, that television was not my priority and that I did not want to do what we had already done.

[Pantene Advertiser]

Right.

[Dad]

And so when I said, I'm not ready to come back to television yet, I'm not ready because it's not laid out the right way yet.

[Chase]

Yeah. So it's definitely very different than it used to be.

[Dad]

Yes. And I want it to be. I want to be able to give the folks that tune into us a true glimpse into our everyday life. I want them to. I want to carry them along or.

[Mom]

I don't know about that now what?

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Well, that's a lot.

[Chase]

That's a lot.

[Dad]

If I've got to see it, they need to see it. Maybe that'll cause y' all to be on better behavior, y'.

[Mom]

All.

[Dad]

Well, they get it from somewhere.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

The. I want what the content that we create going forward to be truly 100% authentic. You know, when you are. When you get married, I want to be able for that to be authentic. When you have a child, I want that to be an authentic moment, and I don't want it staged And I don't want, you know, go stand over here and go do that. Let's just capture it the way that it is.

[Chase]

Exactly.

[Dad]

And so that's what I meant when I said I'm not coming back to television. I'm not coming back to television now

[Mom]

in the same format.

[Dad]

Same format. So what we're doing, what I'm working on now, is a different format.

[Mom]

Yep.

[Dad]

So I think for me, stepping back into our life, and I just said this to your person yesterday, we were talking that there are still moments for me that I believe it's ptsd, because I will. Things will be going so, so good, and then I'll remember a situation, and then it causes me to, like, really take a deep breath and be like, but that's not going to happen.

[Mom]

That's.

[Dad]

That's over.

[Pantene Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Dad]

So I do still have those moments, and they hit me at the most inopportune times. But I think that another thing was that I wasn't prepared to come home and everyone be doing their own thing.

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

Yeah.

[Dad]

That was a big change for me.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Chase]

When you left, we were all still doing everything together.

[Dad]

Yeah. So that was a big. That was a big change for me. But now I look at that, and we've talked about this, at what a blessing it is, because now your mother and I are at an age and at a space in our life to where y' all are grown. If you want to be on the COVID of a tabloid for doing stupid shit, that's on you. Because all I'm going to say is, I tried to raise them right, and if they step out of that, then that's on y'.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

All.

[Dad]

But your mother and I, we have plans for us.

[Pantene Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And I look forward to implementing those plans. I want to be a wonderful, you know, grandparent. I want to help take care of my grandchildren, and I want to have a wonderful relationship with them. But I also want to have a wonderful marriage. I want to have a wonderful friendship with my wife. I want us to. Because that's my person.

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And I want to be able to know. I know that I can trust this one. I mean, this one went. No offense, Megan, but she went 10 toes down. But, you know, I'm just saying. So that's my person, and, you know, I want to respect that, and I want us to go and do the things that she and I, when we were young and that we always talked about one day. One day. Well, our days are running out.

[Mom]

And I think people, you know, listen. Decisions we make, we made them Right. So we're not saying that we, we didn't make these decisions and we've lived them, but we had children so young that. And we have been raising children for so long that, you know, I mean, I was 21 when we met and you were 21 when you had your first child. So for 30 something years, we've been raising kids and still raising them. Like, Chloe's just 13. And I mean, so we have, we have done our time.

[Dad]

Don't you think, though, we've done our time. You know, from my. And this is strictly from my perspective, don't you feel like that you and I are seeing different sides of each other that we've never seen?

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Mom]

I mean, I think as you age and you evolve and you just start seeing things differently, and I think for you, there's been some letting go of some control from, like, the kids and just what you just said, that they're older and they're. They're adults, and that's good. Bad or indifferent, you know, whether they make good decisions or bad decisions, they aren't ours to carry anymore.

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

Right.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

As the temps start rising, I feel that familiar urge to refresh my closet. But I'm definitely not wasting money on pieces that I'll only wear once or for just one season. Quint changes that their clothes are timeless, lightweight, and far more elevated than anything else. At this price, it finally feels like my wardrobe matches my standards. Their stuff just works. The fabric feels elevated, the fits are flattering, and I'm not spending a fortune

[Chase]

to feel that way.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

I've been living. When I say living, I mean living in the 100% European linen wide leg pants and the linen short sleeve shirt. Both of them are so breathable and effortless.

[Chase]

Effortless.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

And they look like I spent way more than I did. I mean, I actually checked the price twice because I couldn't believe it. And here's the thing about Quince. It is not just the linen. Their denim is soft and wearable in a way that most denim never is. And they've also expanded into home, kitchen, and bedding now too. So it's really become the place I go when I want something that feels elevated without the ridiculous markup. Everything at quince is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands because they cut out the middlemen and work directly with ethical factories. You're paying for quality and craftsmanship, not just a brand name. Linen pieces starting at $32. When I tell you it truly is that simple, elevate your summer wardrobe. Go to quince.com/unlocked for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. Now available in Canada too. That's Quite n c e.com/unlocked for free shipping and 365 day returns. Qu insurance.comUnlocked okay, I want to talk about something I think so many of us have been through that is finally deciding that you're ready to talk to somebody.

[Chase]

Like, you do the work, you get

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

there, you build up the courage, and then you go online and you cannot find a single therapist who takes your insurance. It is incredibly defeating. And I've always said we use our insurance for everything when it comes to our physical health. So why on earth should our mental health be any different? That's exactly why I want to tell you about Rula. Rula is a healthcare company that actually makes this whole process feel manageable. They partner with over 100 insurance plans and the average copay for patients is just $15 per session. That's real therapy from licensed professionals at a price that actually makes sense. And here's the thing, they don't just match you with whoever's available. Rula looks at your goals, your background, your preferences and gives you a curated list of licensed in network therapists who are actually aligned with what you need. No waitlist list, no frustrating back and forth appointments available as soon as tomorrow.

[Chase]

They also stay with you the whole

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

way through, checking in to make sure your care is actually moving forward. That kind of consistency matters so much, especially when you're doing the hard work. Thousands of people are already using Rula to get affordable, high quality therapy that's actually covered by Insurance. Visit rula.comunlocked to get started. After you sign up, they'll ask you how you heard about them. Please, please, please support our show and let them know that we sent you. That's r u l a.com/unlocked. You deserve mental health care that works with you and not against your budget, would you say?

[Chase]

And this is obviously coming from the outside looking, but would you say that y' all went through kind of a rough patch once Chase and I like moved out. Right. And like you're saying your identity's always been in having your children and investing in your children and what we're doing and you never missed an event or so?

[Mom]

I don't think so because we were still working together every day, you know, so it wasn't the traditional family, you know, progression how most people go away to college. You know, I'm really experiencing it more with Grayson because, you know, when I left. No, but when we left, he was 16. You know, he was still at home. I was still doing everything for him with him. And then we come back and he's in college.

[Dad]

You know, you're still doing everything, and he won't.

[Mom]

I don't see Grayson ever, like, living permanently with us again.

[Dad]

As he put you in your place, you know, like three weeks ago with the house in Texas, she said, we don't. I was looking at one property, and I said, this one, I think would be great because Savannah would have her space. Great. She said, we don't need to be buying a house for them to have their space.

[Chase]

She says again, that's. That's Harvey.

[Dad]

And I said, how did I respond?

[Mom]

That's not true. That's not what I said. I didn't say that. I didn't say it that way.

[Dad]

Did you? Come on.

[Pantene Advertiser]

No.

[Mom]

And I'm not lying. You clearly did. I'm not lying, but we don't have to have. You don't have to have your own room. You have a guest room. You're 30 years old.

[Dad]

I don't care. You're still my child.

[Chase]

I want to be able to leave my stuff and know nobody's gonna take it.

[Built Bars Advertiser]

Right.

[Dad]

And what if she gets pissed off at her person? Then she. I'm siding with her no matter what it is. So then she needs to come to her room.

[Mom]

I want to have a place. We need more bedrooms now than we

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

did when we first started.

[Dad]

Grayson calls in the midst of us looking, and I said, I found this one house, which would be great. It gives you a whole suite for you. I says, but your mom says that you're not going to be moving back in with us after you finish. He said, what is wrong with her? Where does she think I'm going? I mean, yeah, I'm probably going to have another place, too, but, I mean, I'm going to have a home with y'.

[Mom]

All.

[Dad]

And I turned, looked her, and I said, we're going with the bigger one.

[Chase]

It's like Spanky's dad.

[Built Bars Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Dad]

I literally said to her the other day, I said, spanky dad. She did some dumb shit. And I said, spanky dad. I mean, literally.

[Chase]

Do the listeners know the Spanky dad story?

[Dad]

No, we're not going to get that.

[Chase]

You have to for them to understand it.

[Dad]

I have a cousin who she. My mother took her when it was her. My mother's brother's child, and took her when she was, like, 3 years old. And she had a speech impediment, and we had this little dog, and his name was Spanky from the Little Rascals. And her job every day was to go feed Spanky. Well, one morning she gets up and goes at you to feed him, and he's dead as a doornail. And she just comes back in, no emotion, nothing. She said, spanky, dead. Don't feed him no more.

[Mom]

And it's not funny.

[Dad]

That's the Spanky story.

[Chase]

That's the second. But that's literally.

[Dad]

She has a Stanky moment at least three times a day.

[Chase]

Like, just because we're older, it's like we have no ties to her.

[Mom]

That's not.

[Dad]

That's all right. You're tied to me.

[Mom]

That is not true.

[Dad]

Now, you do sometimes come across that way.

[Mom]

I went in this morning, separated her laundry, did. Folded a load.

[Dad]

We're not talking about that. You don't do. No, we're talking about that you have emotionally.

[Mom]

Yeah, that's not true. That's not true.

[Dad]

Because you say to me, todd, let them go.

[Chase]

Do you think she's always been this way or that it was after prison that she emotionally detached?

[Dad]

Well, I think that to know none of. I don't think that any of her. Any of our children know their mother the way that I know her. And you're not supposed to. Yeah, but I think that your mother became a mother at a time in her life to where she had emotionally detached from things in her own life of growing up. And so it took a long time. And. And I say this because, you know, I talked about it with Nick. I talked about it several times. Because you're a little bit lippy like you. You today are very much mouthy like your mother used to be.

[Chase]

No, I'm a lot better.

[Dad]

You're a lot better, but you still not. You still got a ways to go. But your mother, when we first got married, she was. I am woman. Hear me roar.

[Chase]

Hold on. You know what my therapist said about that, by the way, the other day? You'll love this saying. Hold on, I wrote it down.

[Dad]

If she wrote it down, it's gonna be something in her favor. And then she forgot the other part.

[Chase]

If not as bad as I used to be, is still unhealthy. I'm not there yet.

[Dad]

I love that.

[Chase]

And then the devil that I know is better than the heaven I don't issue is, is you're still dancing with the devil.

[Dad]

I love those. I love those. I think for your mother, the question was, do I think she's always been this detached? I don't think Your mother's detached. I think that she views it as if she puts this here and closes it up, then it can't hurt her anymore. She doesn't have to feel that loss. She doesn't have to feel separated, that. But because she's still got it over here in this box. I have compartmentalized everything in my life, my whole life. You do the same thing.

[Chase]

Well, I look at what serves me and what doesn't.

[Dad]

But you got to make sure that before you pack it up that you've unpacked it.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And I don't think. I think there's still things that you haven't unpacked correctly. I mean, it's a prime example of what you just went through last week when you were so offended by something. Right. So that's not been properly unpacked.

[Mom]

Right.

[Dad]

And so you. She packs things up in her heart and. And that's it.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

I can tell you that I felt like that she was one of the toughest eggs to crack when I first got with her, because there was this situation with this Susan Smith or whatever who had these kids that she drowned her kids in South Carolina.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Huh.

[Dad]

This woman, she drunk a long time ago.

[Chase]

This just went in a totally different kid.

[Dad]

But I'm going to tell you, she. This woman, her name was Susan Smith, and she drowned her, put her children in a car, drove the car off a landing and let them drown. And I remember sitting in a room and we were all weeping about this because we're watching it on the news, and it was a spanky moment. And it was a spanky moment, and everyone. Everyone was crying. And she goes, y' all don't even know that woman. Are we going to eat, Mom? And I. And I was. And I'm already in this. Right? And I went,

[Mom]

well, they were just, like, taking it to. I mean, how do you say you

[Chase]

take that Kid's died, Mom, I would.

[Mom]

Now, I didn't have children then, but today I have children. But if I. Today I would be, like, weeping on the floor. Yes, but then he already had kids, so he knew, like, I never had

[Dad]

kids, but I was kind of like, I need to sleep with one eye open. And. But when she had Chase, when she. The moment she found out that when you were pregnant. She got pregnant before we were married, change things. And she came to me and said, I have something to tell you. She says, I don't expect you to do anything more than what you want to do, because I know you've already been thrown in this situation. That I'm getting ready to tell you. She says, but I'm pregnant. And she says, and before we even have a conversation, I'm keeping my baby. That was straightforward.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And I looked at you and said, then we're going to get married. Because I wanted to marry her anyway. And because when I tell you it was the. She's the only woman I've ever been in love with in my life. Best sex I've ever had.

[Chase]

Oh, my God.

[Dad]

Best emotional attachment that I've ever had.

[Chase]

I'm all set. Thank you.

[Dad]

You need to know that. You need to know mom and daddy's had a life.

[Chase]

Okay.

[Dad]

And so when she became pregnant, there was a softening even. Even after she became pregnant. But when she had him, it was like the evil side of her had kind of been turned to about a 70, 70%. And then when she had you not, it didn't change a whole lot because, you know, you've always been, you know, I had you. And she. With each birth, though, don't you think it changed for you?

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

Because then she became more emotional.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

You know, she was more sensitive to things with children. And like when you do something and I go the hell off and I'm freaking out about it or whatever. If you notice, she's calm.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

The reason for that doesn't mean that I love you more. It just means she understands your situation from a female perspective.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

To where I can't. I look at you, say, how stupid are you? You are this. You are the superior sex. How can you be this dumb?

[Chase]

Yeah. Real, real healthy way of communicating.

[Dad]

She looks at it and says,

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

well,

[Dad]

you now know, so you know you won't do that again. That's her way.

[Chase]

Yeah. But a lot healthier.

[Dad]

I do think that. That she has changed and she has mellowed and she has softened. But I don't think that she is detached because she worries about y' all not being around. She worries about how often are we going to see you. So she.

[Chase]

You worry about that more.

[Dad]

Tell her, no, I don't. I don't have that as much as I used to. Not that you ask about what has changed. That is the one thing that I don't think would have ever happened had I not been unfortunately incarcerated. That forced me to have to. To understand how I was going to have to live without you. And now I'm okay with it. I'm okay with, like, do you think

[Chase]

that she's more worried about it? But I'm trying to figure out the best way to put this.

[Dad]

She's getting ready to assume.

[Chase]

Just say no. That she's more worried about it for those that would maybe struggle more than the ones that wouldn't. Like, she's more. She's not as worried about being close to me as she would be maybe some others.

[Dad]

Well, now, again.

[Mom]

Okay, well, y' all are having this conversation as if I'm not sitting here. So I am sitting here. So let me just speak. You know what? I think it's twofold. Yes. I worry about being away from you. Not worry. It's different. And which is a good thing because I don't have to worry about you. Yeah, I know.

[Dad]

I'm going to say something that I grew up resenting.

[Mom]

I know I'm going to miss being with you. That's the thing. Like, I'm going to miss being able to just walk into your house and start doing laundry or drop something off for you.

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

That.

[Mom]

Or drop something off for you or pick something up or meet at the mall. That's what I'm going to miss. Yes. I worry about the others not being close to them if they need me. Yes. So there is that.

[Chase]

Because why do you look like you're going to cry?

[Mom]

I don't know. See, I'm getting emotional.

[Dad]

Told you there was a heart under that.

[Mom]

Still, it's different. It's for different reasons, you know, like you. It's just because you're not going to be here.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And. And don't.

[Mom]

I mean. Because I'm not going to be here.

[Dad]

Right. But don't you. I think that. I think it's a healthier place for us to be in.

[Chase]

Oh, yeah.

[Dad]

Because now when you say I'm going so and so. Okay. Send me a text. Let me know that you're okay.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

I'll check in with you at night.

[Mom]

Does that mean we don't still worry about you? Because, yeah, I worry about you when you're all over the world and.

[Dad]

Right.

[Mom]

Doing whatever. Like, oh, my God, does she know she's. You know, is she paying attention to. I mean, I text you those things. Pay attention to your surroundings. Look, don't be out at night, blah, blah, blah.

[Dad]

You know, that's just spanky moments, too.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

You ain't the only one that cornered.

[Mom]

Spanking. Right.

[Dad]

She's got a lot of spanky moments.

[Mom]

And you will understand that when you become a parent. Like, you never stop worrying.

[Dad]

I think that because what she was getting ready to say, and I said, here comes something that I grew up with that I resented. I don't have to worry about you, Ty, because you're always going to do the right thing. Yeah, well, because I do the right thing doesn't mean that you don't still have to worry about me. It doesn't mean that you don't. That you shouldn't be thinking, well, wonder how he's feeling today or wonder how she's feeling there.

[Mom]

You're right.

[Dad]

I wonder how you're right.

[Mom]

You're right. You're 100% right.

[Dad]

I will say that you focus your energies on the lost sheep. It's just like the shepherd.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

When all of them are going in one direction, but the one that was lost is the one that he goes looking for. So I think that you still, as a. As a parent, you are a form of a shepherd. You're looking for that lost child. But that doesn't mean that you love that lost child more than you love the one that's like me and you, you know, achievers.

[Chase]

But I also feel like before, it definitely affected me more versus now. And I think maybe that's because I do have my own life and I am happy in my own personal relationship that I'm not looking for that validation. Validation right from you.

[Mom]

Yeah. I think it's Just growing up.

[Built Bars Advertiser]

Right.

[Mom]

I think you're just growing up and I think maturing.

[Chase]

No, it does piss me off at times. So I'm like.

[Dad]

But where you are in your life, you know, I don't agree with everything that you say and I'm never going to agree with everything that you say because I think you're full of shit on some things and in other things, I'll ride with you.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Thanks.

[Dad]

But I think that where you are in your life, this is the high season.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Mom]

Right, Right.

[Dad]

But darling, you ain't going to have high season for the rest of your life.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

No.

[Dad]

So my hopes for you is that you know what the low season looks like.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

So you've lived it. So that's going to prepare you. Because God says that everything that he puts in front of you is preparation for what's coming.

[Mom]

Right.

[Dad]

So you need to know that high season is not, is not lasting for any. For anyone.

[Mom]

Right.

[Chase]

I'm gonna make my high season last as long as I possibly can.

[Mom]

And I.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

And.

[Mom]

And when you have more than one child, you will see that. That.

[Dad]

Yeah. Cuz we don't ever get a high season. Soon as we start thinking we getting a high season, they get a low season.

[Mom]

We always in the rice fields where

[Dad]

it's just water ditch with all of them.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Chase]

Tell us how you really feel.

[Dad]

Well, I'm just. I'm just saying that as parents, there's never a time.

[Mom]

I say this all the time. There's never a time when y', all, everybody's doing good and there's never a time when everybody's getting along with.

[Dad]

No.

[Chase]

Ever.

[Mom]

Never. There is never a time when he, y', all, him and his children, everybody's getting along. Never. No, it's never happened. We know we are. If we are all getting short lived,

[Chase]

we're anxious because we're not sure if we're the next one.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

Well, let's. Let's unpack that. Oh God. Let's unpack that. Because I'm not. I'm not going to take that. I am loyal to all of you.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Chase]

100.

[Dad]

Which ultimately puts me in the middle of all the shit.

[Chase]

Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

[Mom]

So I'm not.

[Dad]

We're not saying that when something, when you tell me something, does anything you ever tell me come back to bite you?

[Mom]

No.

[Dad]

When Chase tells me something, nothing's going to come back to bite him or.

[Chase]

No, it does come back to bite him because unfortunately he doesn't just tell you. He tells the world.

[Dad]

He needs to go to work for tmz. But at any rate, at the end of the day, I love all of y'. All. I don't love any of y' all more than I do the others.

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

I like.

[Dad]

No, I don't. I like y'.

[Mom]

All.

[Dad]

I have different seasons with y'.

[Pantene Advertiser]

All.

[Chase]

He would save my life over the rest of them.

[Dad]

I taught you how to swim. The. For me, each of y' all give me something extra.

[Mom]

Like, I don't like something different.

[Dad]

Yes. Yes. Because Chase is funnier than you are. Chase has a great personality that is just, like, sucks the air of the room when he's on top of his game name. You are absolutely gorgeous. You can carry your. You can walk into any room and speak to anyone and speak intelligent, intelligently on what it is that you're talking.

[Chase]

You literally just told me, like, a day or two ago that I'm constantly making you laugh, so I would say that I'm funny.

[Dad]

See? See, I gave her five things, folks, that she was great at, but the one thing that I said her brother was better I at is the one she heard.

[Mom]

Yeah, you.

[Dad]

Grayson is just the sweetest child in the world.

[Chase]

Oh, he is.

[Dad]

And he worries about everyone's feelings, and he does not want to be drugged up in no drama. And Grayson will tell you straight up, keep me out of this.

[Chase]

Yeah. Because, like, we'll be talking about drama that's going on, and he goes, don't come to me. Don't tell me.

[Mom]

Yeah, he doesn't want it.

[Dad]

And I love that about him because he's literally protecting his peace.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

So I think that, again, each and every one of y' all have given me something special in my life, and I think that where I am right now. Where you are in your life. I'm grateful that you're where you are in your life, because it's. It's your life is what I prayed for. I prayed for you to have this life that you have right now, and I pray for you every day and give God the glory that he has, elevated you to this point, to where you have this life.

[Pluto TV Advertiser]

Life.

[Dad]

What I would caution you on is that getting too comfortable in a life to where you believe that nothing can go wrong, because there's always something that can go wrong.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Pantene Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Chase]

Well, that's the thing. I was having a conversation the other day, and I said, you know, I'm just so excited to get in this house and it to be furnished, and, like, I feel like I'll just be at ease because the last Time that I was in a house that was furnished and this and that. And then I was told, I get where you're coming from, because I feel the same way. But I would caution you on thinking that a furnished house is going to, you know, cause you to be at ease or.

[Mom]

Yeah, just.

[Chase]

And I was like, no, you know what?

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

You're right.

[Dad]

If you are you. If you're anxious about something and you're anxious sitting here right now, but you go to your beautiful home that is furnished, I mean, and everything's perfect, you're now taking all of this anxiety from that chair into another chair in your beautifully furnished home.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

Until you properly unpack it, you're just moving your shit from one location to the next.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Mom]

So true.

[Chase]

But don't you feel like. Like if you have your space that you're comfortable in and you feel at ease in that, that will give you the time and the tools to then deal with things when they do explode or that.

[Mom]

I do think that a peaceful surrounding does help.

[Dad]

It helps to keep your anxiety at bay.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

It's almost like self soothing.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

But again, another thing that helped me in my 21, 28 months, extended summer was that I didn't have a place to hide. I didn't have that comfortable area. And I was forced to deal with the things that caused me to have anxiety. I was forced to unpack them and say, that has no place in my life anymore. Right now. I can go anywhere. And I do still have certain levels of anxiety, which is one of the reasons that I work out so much, because it helps me so much with that. But I don't have it near like I used to. And I can tell you, you, according to you and your brothers, y' all were raised in a museum. You know, you lived in a home that was meticulous.

[Chase]

You had old plaque that says, please remove shoes before.

[Dad]

The rugs were very expensive.

[Chase]

But if it tells you anything, I told my designer I really wanted that.

[Dad]

See, but I'm not having that in my new house because I'm having grandchildren. And what did I say?

[Chase]

Yeah, but still remove your shoes.

[Dad]

Yes. It's okay for that. But what I'm saying is that where your mother and I are now, my grandchildren are going to be able to come in and lay down. They're going to be able to do whatever they want to do within reason. And I'm not going to freak out on it, because at the end of the day, they are what's precious to me, not the rug.

[Mom]

Yeah. So, okay. Let's remind him of that.

[Dad]

I didn't say we're not going to

[Mom]

have housekeepers when we had slime on the carpet.

[Chase]

Let's remind him of that whenever we've got one and they come in the house. Remember Mallory posted about hers on her brand new wall. You remember, Marker?

[Dad]

Just Mallory's a saint, bless her heart. I want whatever, Mallory, whatever you're taking, I want some. I'm coming by today and get me three or four of them. But I don't want that life anymore. And I mean, you and I, you know that. Because of the things that we've looked at for this next round of houses.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And have I not walked away from the ones that were so glamorous?

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

It just doesn't fit me anymore. So what I would say to you is, is that your house being furnished beautifully, if you're still empty inside, the house is furnished. You're not. So you got to figure out how you're going to furnish your insides.

[Chase]

Well, I didn't know I was going to therapy today.

[Dad]

Well, I didn't mean.

[Chase]

Just don't charge me.

[Dad]

Well, you wouldn't pay me. No way. I don't ever get paid a dime to come on this show to raise these ratings.

[Chase]

Oh, yeah. Huh. Now, speaking of new things in life, Good Guy RX is something now that you have started, and I love that I have. I'm focusing on all things female. You are focusing on all things male.

[Dad]

Well, you kind of laid the groundwork for that because I started reading the testimonials for Good Girl and I am a testimonial.

[Mom]

What do you mean? People see me all the time and they're like, oh, my gosh, you look so good.

[Dad]

She's a good girl. So is our friend Terrence. He's a good girl. Yeah.

[Mom]

Good girl rx.

[Chase]

Terrence.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Chase]

Dad told Terrence he would have to be.

[Dad]

I said, you're gonna have to now have to be a good guy. He said, I'm a good girl for anyone.

[Chase]

That's catching up. You know, obviously, you announced Good Guy R. Now tell us what it is, the mission behind it.

[Dad]

For me, I want Good Guy to be all about things that are male focused and male driven. Things that guys will not talk about to other guys. Things that they're certainly not going to talk about to their wife or to their girlfriend or whatever.

[Mom]

Their partner.

[Dad]

Yes. Because guys don't tell all their medical stuff. They don't talk about, you know, if you've got a low libido, if Your testosterone is high. Not. You know, I never realized that. And my doctor said that a lot of the reason that mine is so high is because I've never smoked or drank or ever done any. Anything. But when I started doing the research, I realized I would talk to other guys that's my age and they'd be like, you know, my Testosterone is like 300. And I'd go to your mom and I'd say, that seems weird, doesn't it? So then I started doing the research on.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And I realized that your testosterone level drives so much of being healthy as a man.

[Chase]

Well, yeah, you're.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

It's just like your estrogen.

[Chase]

Right. It deals with anxiety, depression.

[Dad]

Right.

[Mom]

So I think good guy too is not just for men your age, but I think it is for all men and for young men to get started on a regimen early so that they aren't faced with these issues when they get to be 50 years old.

[Dad]

I fortunately, thank God, have never had to take a testosterone replacement. But my doctor informed me when I was doing this research that 35 or 40% of his patients are 25 to 35 with low testosterone.

[Chase]

Testosterone. Men's testosterone is at an all time low.

[Dad]

And it's, it's absolutely.

[Mom]

That's crazy.

[Dad]

It's insane to me because, you know, as, as I think I talked about this on, on two sons and me, that the difference in generations is that, that if I lay down with you, you got pregnant today. You know, everyone's having trouble getting pregnant. And I do believe it's because of all the hormones and stuff that's in our food and the pesticides and stuff. But going back to good Guy Rx, I want people to live a good, happy, healthy life. And I believe that your happiness, a large portion of that is derived from how healthy you are and how, and how you look and how you feel about yourself. Yourself. And when I started working out, you know, three and four days a week, I felt better.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And when I had my blood work done, everything was perfect. Thank you, God. But I wanted to bulk up. I wanted to have a healthier. I didn't want to look frail as I aged. And so I got with, you know, Dr. Wade out in Dallas and he gave me, put me on this, he did my blood work, a huge panel. I think there was 13 or 18 tubes of blood that was done. And he said, you need to be on this and this and whatever. And when I saw the results of these peptides, I came to you and I said, is this what good Girl does. You said, daddy, yeah, we do it for women. I said that I need to do it for men. Can you help me do this? And so that's really how Good Guy RX came about.

[Mom]

So I think you have a lot of, you know, with the GLP ones, women talk about it all the time, but. But there's men that need it and want to be on it and they're. Whether shame or whatever, there's a stigma

[Dad]

to guys doing what girls do.

[Chase]

Right.

[Mom]

And I think this is going to give them a place to go and feel safe and know that they're doing it the right way, an easy way, which I've told you many, many times before with Good Girl Rx, because before Good Girl, I had, you know, gotten it from somewhere else and I had to worry about, literally, I had to get a nurse friend of mine of ours to come and reconstitute it. She couldn't figure it out with Good Girl and Good Guy now it already comes. It already comes. It's self explanatory. You get your bottles, they're labeled. Everything is already. It's so easy.

[Dad]

And I think that from a, from a personal perspective, from a man's perspective, guys want to perform. They want to perform in the boardroom, the bedroom, and their children's lives. And in order for you to be there for every asp that a man has the responsibility for being, you have to be at the top of your game.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And I have. You have said that my whole life has changed. I mean, my whole perspective has changed on health now. And I believe and I, and I've said this now for six weeks. In order to find a good girl, you got to be a good guy.

[Chase]

Amen.

[Dad]

And so I want all of the guys to be good guys so that they can be a good guy. For a good girl, you can use my code [e-mail] for 15% off.

[Chase]

All right, now that we have touched on all things prison, coming home, I think we did a little therapy session in the midst of it and we spoke about Good Guy Rx, which I'm so excited about. You'll have all the hormone replacement therapy as well as GLP1s and then things for males that women don't need that are not on Good Girl rx. But with that being said, we are going to go into Q and A that listeners have asked.

[Dad]

This is how I got in trouble with that Megan girl.

[Chase]

Oh, God. Okay, what is. These are questions that people have asked. Let's start out with what advice would you give to someone going through a similar situation and to their family?

[Dad]

We're talking about extended stay.

[Chase]

Yeah, Your extended, say, maybe legal issues or.

[Dad]

Make sure you have the right attorneys. Make sure your attorneys are focused on what they're supposed to be doing. Cling closer together, because the tighter you are, the better it is, because the government's goal is to destroy everything about you. And as our prosecutors said before they ever took this case on, if we get. If we get taught, the rest of the family will fall. That was their statement. So you didn't let that happen. Neither did God. But I would say that, you know, just know that the prosecutors do not care about destroying your family. They do not care about any. They don't care about the truth. They care about one thing, and that's a conviction, Right?

[Mom]

Absolutely.

[Chase]

What would you tell the man on day one inside.

[Dad]

That you're going to be okay, Mom.

[Mom]

Yes. That you're going to be okay. That. For. For me, I would say stay busy, stay focused, cling to your faith, because at the end of the day, you walk in there by yourself and you're going to walk out by yourself.

[Chase]

How has your marriage evolved in the past year?

[Dad]

I think we're. I think it's funnier. I think there's more humor involved in it. I think that.

[Mom]

I think it was so heavy for literally, like, 10 years or more leading up to us going away, because we dealt with it every day. It was something new or. Or, you know, it was a thing. It wasn't a thing. It was a thing. It wasn't a thing. Yes. I think there's just a lightness.

[Dad]

I agree. I think that there's a lightness to it. And I have a whole new. I always viewed my marriage as not just me and your mom, but all of our kids. And I think for the first time in my life, I view our marriage as singular. Just me and her.

[Mom]

Yeah, we kind of meshed marriage and family at all. It all the lines got very blurred.

[Dad]

And I think for now, I mean, at this point in my life, I'm probably more clear on what that. What our marriage is and what it looks like and what it needs to be from my perspective. And. And that. That this is the person that I'm going to die with. This is the person that I'm going to be with for the rest of my life.

[Chase]

Okay, next question. What are your future goals, hopes and dreams for yourselves and for each other? So I guess for you individually, what is the dream that came back online this Year.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Mm.

[Mom]

For me, specifically, just me. You know, there's still so much that I want to do. You know, I want to do my cooking. You know, I want to do a cooking show or something. Something related to food, whatever that looks like a restaurant. I don't. I don't really know exactly what it looks like, but I know it involves food in some way. That is my love language. I love to feed people. But I also, of course, I want my marriage to be better. You know, I don't think you ever stop. I don't want to ever stop working toward that. You know, not. I think we have a great marriage, but I think there's always room for improvement. I want to be a better mother. There's always room for improvement. I want to be a better grandmother. All those things, you know? So I think it's just that. To know that. That there's always room for improvement. And I don't ever want to just stop. I don't ever want to be like, okay, this is as good as it gets. You know? Like, this is good. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I don't want to put any more work in.

[Chase]

Like, I know for me, if I were answering that, I would say, when y' all went away, especially geared more towards you. You know, one of the things that I came to terms with was, like, I'm never gonna have. Have a wedding. I'm not gonna celebrate that. If I do get married, I'm just gonna go get married legally and call it a day. Cause my dad's not gonna be here to walk me down the aisle, or mom's not gonna be here to go dress shopping with me. So I had just come to the realization that, all right, I'm just never doing it. And so now I'm in a place in my life to where. Okay, that dream's come back online. Because I'm so excited. I now can be so excited. Cause I know y' all are here to be a part of something like that.

[Mom]

Right.

[Dad]

That certainly

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

my.

[Dad]

One of my dreams. Because I did worry about that. And you and I actually talked about that.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And I said, do not put it on hold for me. Because with that time, we didn't know what was going to happen.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

I think that my dream that has come back online is just that I'm back. I have my life back.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Dad]

And as long as you have. As long as you have life, you have endless opportunities. There's so many different things that happen every day, and so many things you know, I had. I never stopped dreaming the whole time that I was gone.

[Chase]

No, you didn't. You definitely didn't live there. You're. You were somewhere else.

[Dad]

No, I lived there. I never lived at that place. But I always. I've always been a dreamer, and so I never stopped dreaming. And I kept putting things in perspective, and I sent you things and, you know, that we were going to do, and we're actually doing those things, and I made commitments to you that was going to happen, that those things have. Those commitments have now been kept.

[Mom]

Absolutely.

[Dad]

And I think the dream that matters, that is the biggest thing for me is that I'm back with your mom and with my kids and with my mother, because I had. My biggest fear was that something would happen to my mother while I was gone.

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

Yeah.

[Dad]

So now she's back with me. She. And I get to fight every day, and so I don't. My dream is still to create. I still want to create beautiful things, and I want to create joy and happiness for so many people. But I also. My dream is to also. For your mother and I to have a beautiful home, to be at peace, and to be great, wonderful grandparents. That is. That's probably. That is my biggest dream.

[Chase]

I love that. I think that's a good place to stop. And before we move, before we wrap up the episode, the Met gal that just happened. So I'm gonna give you some cards, and we're going to rate the looks. We can either do it 1 to 10 or yes or hard no, whichever you prefer. All right, here's yours. Here is yours, Mom. Okay. All right. So look, one Beyonce.

[Dad]

Well, you know how I feel about.

[Mom]

Oh, I think she looks great.

[Dad]

I think she's gorgeous.

[Chase]

So, yeah, let's. So as we go through, just say yes or no. Hard no.

[Mom]

Okay. Yes.

[Dad]

Yes.

[Chase]

Okay. Beyonce. Janelle Monae.

[Dad]

And I love her so much, but it's a no for me.

[Mom]

It's a no for me, too. She looks like a tree trunk.

[Chase]

She does.

[Dad]

I think that's the goal. I think that's the look that she was out after. But I still think she's beautiful, and I love her.

[Chase]

Blake Lively.

[Dad]

You know, I just don't have anything good to say about, like.

[Chase]

See, even I know that's what's hard is does she look good? Yeah. But after the whole scandal that just went on.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Dad]

Her manipulation. Yeah. And that dress looks like love. Love Shack. Fancy.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Mom]

Well, we're not going to shoot fancy. I'm not.

[Dad]

I'm just saying that, you know, it's the mat. And. And it looks like.

[Chase]

It looks. It does look like a tablecloth.

[Pluto TV Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Mom]

I don't.

[Chase]

But also, I just can't like.

[Dad]

No. Cuz I think that she lied.

[Chase]

Yeah, you and me both.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

All right.

[Chase]

Katy Perry.

[Dad]

You know they said that girl said she's got a stanky puss.

[Chase]

Daddy.

[Mom]

What?

[Dad]

That's what now in the prayers.

[Mom]

I never heard that. What?

[Dad]

Yeah, this girl suing her for said her that she drug her cat, kitty cat across her face and it stunk. She threw up.

[Mom]

You're lying.

[Dad]

No. So I'm gonna have to say no because she got a stanky kitty.

[Chase]

Bad bunny.

[Mom]

A bad bunny. I don't know why he wanted to make himself look old because he's not. And he's a good looking kid.

[Chase]

And he made himself look like a white guy.

[Dad]

That's bad bunny.

[Mom]

Yeah. And he's young.

[Dad]

That's the one. Did the Super Bowl.

[Chase]

Yeah, that huge scandal around the super bowl and the FCC and.

[Mom]

Right. But I just don't understand.

[Dad]

I think he looks pretty. Damn.

[Mom]

But he's young. He's made himself look old. He's a good looking kid.

[Dad]

Just letting you know what he's gonna be when he gets that.

[Chase]

That's the whole point of the Met Gala. So this was a performance art piece. Aged silver fox process.

[Dad]

I think he looks good.

[Mom]

He'll be a good looking older guy.

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

Yeah.

[Chase]

And then last but not least, we have Kylie Jenner.

[Mom]

Oh, no. I saw her on Real Time and she looked good.

[Chase]

She looked phenomenal.

[Mom]

She looked really.

[Dad]

I love her looks phenomenal.

[Chase]

She looks phenomenal. Do I love the dress? No, not so much.

[Dad]

Well, she's done better, but, you know, it is the match. I like Kendall's dress, but Kendall's just.

[Mom]

Yeah, but she looks really good, Kylie in her dress.

[Chase]

There were 10,000 pearls and 7,000 fish scales in her dress. And I thought it was hilarious because after the Met, she's trying to dye her eyebrows back.

[Mom]

Back.

[Chase]

Because she bleached them out and they were not going back to normal.

[Mom]

Yeah.

[Chase]

Yeah. She said I.

[Dad]

She's got cosmetics that'll fix that.

[Mom]

Yes. Yes, she does.

[Pantene Advertiser]

She.

[Chase]

She's gorgeous.

[Dad]

Yes. I think it's precious.

[Chase]

Well, some of those. Katy Perry clearly did not hit the mark with you, so.

[Dad]

No, I don't even. I don't even know a whole lot about her. I just was on the Instagram.

[Mom]

That just triggered you when you saw her.

[Dad]

Yeah. That she had a stanky cat.

[Chase]

Oh, okay. Well, let's hope that's not the case. And if so, maybe we can help you.

[Dad]

It's a lawsuit. I didn't make it up. The girl's suing her and saying that she drug her cat across her face and she threw up.

[Chase]

Okay, well, Katy Perry is.

[Dad]

That's not true.

[Chase]

Katy Perry. Katy Perry. If that is the case, I'm pretty sure we could find something to help [e-mail] so yes, she can get you

[Dad]

something that helps with root rot.

[Dad]

News?

[Julie (Hospice Nurse)]

Bad news? We're all gonna die. I know, but good news, that might be the best thing to ever happen to your priorities. I've spent years at the bedside and what I've learned is simple. People don't usually regret the big things. They regret the small things. They regret the things they didn't say. My new podcast, it's okay, We're All Gonna Die is where we talk about the stuff everyone avoids. Death, dying, and all of those. We should probably talk about this someday conversation. So if you're looking for something that will help you check out. It's okay. We're All Gonna Die. A gentle reminder that even the hardest topics can bring us closer together. Out now, wherever you get your podcasts.

[Chase]

It's okay.
