A
Welcome back to this week's episode of Unlocked. You probably have a different intro than what you're used to because I feel like I've just signed up to get my feelings hurt today. But we have Matt Matthews on. I'm so excited because I love following him on social media. His videos, his humor, everything is absolutely hilarious. And I really don't find comedians that funny. So that's a compliment to you just in case.
B
Thank you, Paula Deen. I get it.
A
See, that's such a. I love it. I love. Okay, so for people that don't know who you are, what's, like, your pitch?
B
What's my pitch? Yeah, what is this, a damn TV show? I mean, I guess you people found me from farm chores, you know, doing the. Did you not find. You never seen those?
A
Farm. I know you're a farmer, right?
B
Where the hell has she. I know.
A
Wait, what?
B
She's been out in these streets.
A
Oh, most of your. Oh, yeah. Where you're yelling at animals. But I did. I thought that.
B
Baby, you as dumb as you look. My God.
A
I thought it was like a show. You were talking about farm chores.
B
You're slow, ain't you?
A
I think I kind of say I am sometimes.
B
Okay, so basically in 2020 is when my life kind of exploded on the Internet from doing farm chores in a bathrobe and cussing out my chickens. Right. So that's where things started. Then comedy kind of happened that exploded.
A
What were you doing before that?
B
I was a boudoir photographer.
A
You were? I saw you post about that. Okay, so that's. That was like your whole. That's what you've been doing for how long?
B
Which part?
A
The.
B
Cause I've been out here shaking my titties for a long time. Okay. I've been out here doing it for a while.
A
How old are you?
B
32.
A
Oh, yeah. So you see, you're still a baby.
B
How old are you?
A
28. Yeah, I'm younger.
B
You don't look it, but it's fine.
A
Okay, so photography then. Farm chore.
B
Yeah, that's where. So, okay, so what happened?
A
What was the big, like the one video that kind of went viral that you started getting a ton of followers.
B
Okay, so it went viral. First for boudoir because I was photographing a client. People were like. As a boudoir photographer, my goal was to make people feel beautiful.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, show people that it wasn't your weight that determined your self worth. And it was okay to feel beautiful in your skin and in your body and body positivity. Really? And so I was photographing a client, and I've always just been like, this ridiculous person, right? Oh, yeah, girl, don't make me hurt your feelings. And so I was photographing this client, and it, like, blew up on the Internet. It got, like 12 million views, I think.
A
Holy cow.
B
And I started getting all these followers, and.
A
And why did that blow up specifically?
B
Just because. So what I was doing was I had a client laying on the floor, and I was, like, telling her, like, it was the. The pose that I was trying to get her do was we called the titty crusher. And I was like, bring your knees up underneath you. And she couldn't figure it out. And I was like, girl, damn. And so I picked her butt up, and I was like, just leave your right there. And people were like, I want to shoot with you just because your personality and you're so crazy and blah, blah, blah. Well, then tick tock started deleting all of my videos for adult content. And I'm like, are you kidding me? Like, they don't even show anything. People out here really showing their whole labia. And you have a problem.
A
I posted a video of Grayson as a baby, like, singing, and he had on a pair of underwear. And they flagged it.
B
Yeah.
A
For porn.
B
Yeah.
A
I was like, you got to be kidding me.
B
Is crazy. So I was like, all right, well, let's pivot. So is you gonna pay attention to me? Who the is you talking to?
A
I had to put it on do not disturb. It kept vibrating.
B
This is the rudest damn host I have ever. Cut the damn show. I'm going home.
A
Continue.
B
So this.
A
It kept vibrating in my crotch. Hello.
B
So I. Vibrating in your crotch. You're nasty. Oh, crusty self. So I pivoted, right? And I was like, all right. So they're deleting everything that I'm posting. And I had a big account at that point. I was like, I don't want to shut up. Damn. What's funny?
A
Just looking at you is funny.
B
Like, I know this ain't talking about me. I know she ain't talking about me. I don't know what you're trying to say. I look funny.
A
No, I just don't know what's going to come out of your mouth next.
B
Have you looked at yourself, Savannah, with that white eyeliner and gonna tell me I look funny?
A
Don't shit on my white eyeliner. Dang.
B
Okay, preface, preface. Before this started, she told me to roast her. So don't be talking about Matt is so mean on The Internet, because she wanted it.
A
I told him, you know, the last podcast I did with a comedian, he roasted me. And it turned out great. I didn't say, like, you know, bury me, but I did say, you know.
B
Have I been worse? Oh, okay.
A
Continue. Oopsie.
B
Oh, you're so beautiful. Thank you. That. That eyeshadow is so flattering on you. And it really brings out the. The fake bronzer that you got on. It just looks very nice.
A
Thank you.
B
I love them. Cubic zirconium earrings are just very.
A
I do not wear cubic zirconia. Now, that's something I will not let you say about me. There.
B
Will not go there.
A
Not go there. Okay, so you got banned from Tik Tok? Essentially.
B
Basically. And I had. I had, like, developed this big page, and I was like, I don't want to lose all of these followers that I built. Right. So I pivoted and I was like, all right, I'm gonna start showing my personal life of me on the farm. And I really do be out there in a robe, because I don't like to wear clothes. So I put on a robe, and my best friend was like, let me film you, cuz you are just ridiculous. And so she films me. And that video got like 17 million views. I gained, like, over a half a million followers overnight. And I was like, what in the hell is happening? And people were like, you make me laugh in a really dark time. I haven't laughed like that in a long time. This made me feel good.
A
That is so true.
B
And that is what, in all seriousness, that is what made me feel like, okay, I'm able to make people feel good.
A
Yeah.
B
And that's what's really important to me. And I'm able to make people laugh in a time that they are probably sitting at home and they're not laughing. And so during COVID I just kept putting out content, and it just continued to blow up. And everybody was like, matt, you have to be a comedian. And I was like, I had no desire to be a comic. I grew up wanting to do music. You know, I never wanted to do comedy, but I always wanted to be an entertainer. And so I was like, okay, well, I'll try comedy. And I tried comedy, and it blew up. I signed with an independent agent for my very first tour. I sold out my very first tour. Never doing Comedy, selling over 150,000 tickets on my first tour.
A
Holy cow.
B
Yeah.
A
So how did you come up with your content for these shows?
B
So my very first. My very first tour that I Did was basically my life. It was kind of introducing an audience to who I am as a comic and as a person and just as a human being. And so it was kind of my life, you know, growing up in the projects of Bessemer, Alabama and government housing the only white gay kid in the projects. Like, that's a struggle, right? And so. And I lived with an. I had an alcoholic mom, my siblings were addicts. So it was. There's a lot of content there.
A
Yeah. You know, in times like that, you have to somewhat utilize your humor just to get through the day.
B
Yeah, well. And they always say that comics, the best comics, have gone through a lot of trauma. And it's the absolute truth. So I just kind of introduced people who I was up to now, you know, and it was kind of my life growing up being this gay kid in the projects, moving into a trailer park with my dad when I was 9 years old and just kind of how I thought that that was going to be like meeting my husband and. And kind of getting me to where I am today. And. And that tour was just wildly successful. It was incredible. And it really kind of gave me my footing of who I was as a comic and how I was going to, you know, have a long lasting career. And then I started my second tour, which was basically what my life had been like on tour. And that. That tour is called Bougie on a Budget. So it talks about, you know, like, the things that I've gone through in, you know, as a touring artist and being on the road and like, you know, things that you think are really bougie because we're out here in the industry and we're out here making people laugh and we're selling tickets and we have millions of followers. But it's a struggle out here. Like, it's not. It's not. So, like, for example, I talk about I get real tired of flying commercial, right? And like, I cannot deal with Delta no more and people putting their boogers on the seats and just like, I can't. And people are out here showing they damn natural ass on this. Literally, I mean, showing they whole natural ass. And I can't do it. So I decided that I was gonna manifest a private plane.
A
Okay.
B
I was broke, you know, so I'm like, I'm gonna manifest it because if I manifest it, it'll happen. I believe in the power of manifestation. Right. Putting positive things out.
A
Yes.
B
Positive things come back to you.
A
Yes.
B
So I manifested a private plane.
A
But there's a difference in like, positive energy. Coming back. And then like a seven million dollar plane coming back.
B
You know what else is the difference? A private plane and a private jet. Two very different things. I manifested the wrong Savannah. I manifested a private plane, not a private jet. It's not the same thing. What came into your private plane? It had one propeller.
A
Oh.
B
That flight should have taken one hour from Birmingham to out to. To Florida, where my show was. That flight took nine hours and 82 minutes. It was the most traumatic I have ever experienced in my life.
A
So no more private place?
B
No. Hell no. No. I thought I was about to go down like Amelia Earhart. So now I just get on my little bus and I mind my business.
A
Okay, See, that's.
B
But that's the thing. Like, it is. It is really a thing of, like, I am the cheapest on the planet.
A
Well, that's the only way you can.
B
Like, I'm so cheap, I don't spend no money.
A
Why?
B
Cause I'm scared to be. I'm scared of being poor again.
A
Yeah.
B
I grew up so poor that I am terrified of being poor again. So I don't spend money for that reason.
A
So where do you live now?
B
Birmingham.
A
Birmingham. Okay. Yeah. So we're literally like, I'm leaving here and going to Tuscaloosa.
B
For what?
A
Well, Grayson goes to University of Alabama.
B
Oh.
A
Yeah. So I'm going to host an event there.
B
Well, you're gonna drive right by my house, so.
A
Okay. You live in Birmingham? Would you ever leave?
B
No. Well, I don't know. I just built my beautiful dream home. I just bought 104 acres, so I don't have. And I'm like, you know, I'm also north, so I'm like two hours from Nashville.
A
Yeah.
B
So it's easy to just drive here.
A
Okay. I still can't get over your private plane manifestation. Well, you really manifested that one.
B
I did. And I manifested the wrong shit. You have to be very specific in your manifestations. You can't just be out here willy nilly manifesting anything, because it will come.
A
Back to you in that.
B
Yes, it will.
A
So at your shows, I see you kind of like, you roast on people. Has there ever been a times where you've roasted on someone and it's backfired on you?
B
Because what they gonna do? Fire me? I already got their damn money. So, like, what are they. What are really they gonna do, get up and leave? It kills me, though. Like, when people want to be like, they really. They're ready for it. They're prepared. And they will, like, get up in the middle of the show. And they'll walk right across the front just so I get their attention. Just so they get my attention, so that I'll roast them.
A
That is hilarious.
B
And this lady the other night, I played Graceland the other night, okay, and this lady walked right across the front and she had on like this Dollar general looking jumpsuit and it had chickens all over it. And she. And I told her, I said, you look, you look like a Cabbage Patch Kid. Like, what the fuck are you wearing? And she got so offended and so hurt. And I was like, bitch, you walked in front of me on purpose.
A
On purpose. When you should have been sitting.
B
You should have had your big ass in that seat. But here you are trotting across the front of the rows and who.
A
That was an actual outfit.
B
Yeah, she really wore that. They wear some crazy to my shows.
A
I'm not sure if you guys knew, but I was absolutely mind blown when I heard that by the time the average person hits 60, they've lost and regained several hundred pounds. I also had no idea how much damage gaining and losing weight could do. Doctors call it weight cycling. Half of Americans do it. And if you do it enough, you're at the risk of diabetes, liver dam, heart attack and stroke. Weight cycling is when you lose 10 or so pounds, but then you put the pounds back plus a couple more. That puts tremendous strain on your organs and leads to serious health issues. Bottom line, most people need help to stop weight cycling. And here's a great way. Non prescription Lean was created by doctors. Lean is an oral supplement, not a GLP injectable and the science is impressive. Its studied ingredients also target weight loss in three powerful ways. Lean helps maintain healthy blood sugar. It helps control appetite and cravings. And it helps burn fat by converting it to energy. And burning fat helps keep the weight off. If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off. Add lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle.

What's a memorable moment to where either you really got somebody good like funny or like serious funny?
B
Funny funny something really.
A
I feel like you called somebody out one time for like sleeping with somebody or.
B
Well, that's all the time.
A
Yeah, probably. There was one that I remember was really funny.
B
It looks like there's a pubic hair on this. All the security. The woman. Oh, Ellen Degeneres. Yeah, we had a little old lady secure. That's. That's some real up shit.
A
What?
B
They will have these old ass decrepit ladies as my security. I'm like, what are y' all about to do? Like, truly, you look like Ellen DeGeneres. What the hell are you gonna do if somebody gets up and storms this stage right now? And I had a. I had a sold out show in Louisiana and they had this little girl, I swear to God, she was every bit of 100 pounds, sitting right in front of the stage, glasses, had this like headband on. And I said, matilda, what the are you going to do if somebody gets up here and tries to come on this stage? Truly, what are you going to do? I would love to know because I don't feel safe.
A
I don't feel.
B
And I said, why do you do security? She said, it's easy. I said, okay, I feel real safe right now.
A
Yeah, I feel real.
B
That's the type of shit they give.
A
Me that I would. That's kind of alarming. Have you had any crazy situations with people? Like crazy stalker situations?
B
Not like crazy stalkers. They knock on my bus a lot. Like they'll like find my bus and knock on. I did one time this man knocked on my bus at midnight. I think he was trying to get a little coochie, you know, Cuz like I said, what are. Why is he knocking on my door? And we have a camera, you know, so like we could see out there. I'm like, don't open that damn door, cuz I will be like Martha Stewart fighting for my virginity. And I'm telling you, do not. Do not, because don't open that damn door. People are. I've had people try to sneak backstage.
A
And you have Ellen DeGeneres and then.
B
I have Ellen DeGeneres as my. Now sometimes I get some fine security, you know. Sometimes.
A
Sometimes they do you real good.
B
Sometimes they'll do me good, you know. And when they do me right. Jesus.
A
Jesus dying. Okay, so what does your husband do?
B
He manages all my merch on the road.
A
Okay.
B
So like he goes and sets up merch and does that whole. Because that's a whole.
A
That's a whole.
B
That's a whole job in itself.
A
Yes.
B
So he handles all of that and thank God does a good job at it because. My God.
A
Thank God does a good job.
B
Yeah, because that's a lot. That's a. That's the.
A
That really is, though.
B
Yeah. Merch at shows is. I mean, it's huge and it's Great. Because like I have a pop up shop at my shows. So. You know, most artists when you go to a show they just have like a couple T shirts, a hoodie, whatever. But we have, because I have my candle line and I have a store and I have things like that. We kind of bring like a pop up shop at my shows.
A
Oh, that's.
B
So we have candles and we have robes and we have backpacks and, and shirts and like we have everything.
A
Stop. That is amazing.
B
It's a lot. It's a lot.
A
So who in the like comic space do you look to for inspiration?
B
Nobody. Because they don't like me.
A
They don't like you? Why?
B
I mean, I don't really think it's because they don't like me. I also just don't like nobody. So it's really you? Yeah, probably.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't talk to nobody. I stay in my lane, you know, I stay in my lane. I don't fucks with nobody. Because number one, you probably understand this, it's very difficult to find friends.
A
Yes.
B
Number one, just to be an adult and find friends is hard. Is very, very hard. But to be an adult in the entertainment industry and find friends is even harder.
A
Because no one wants you to be more successful than them.
B
Correct.
A
No one. Yeah.
B
And if they're not in the industry, it's hard to be friends because you don't trust them.
A
Yep.
B
And then nobody is truly genuinely nice. You know, like people, just people will use you to do videos. There's been some bitches that I thought I was friends with in this industry that I really like. We're good friends. Like I, I would ride for them.
A
Yeah.
B
And all they would do is use you. Like they'll want to do videos with you to get video, get views and clout and then when they don't need you, they're done.
A
You know, isn't that sad? That's where our worlds come to.
B
And I'm just not, I, I don't with a lot of people because of that. And I just stated myself, I don't have very many friends at all. But if I'm your friend, I'm your ride or die.
A
Yeah.
B
You know what I mean? Like I, I'm going to do whatever I can to like support you and be a good friend. And if I don't, you, I'll fool you. See if I don't like you, you know it.
A
Yeah, that's, that's where I'm at in life right now.
B
I just don't see the point of being fake, you know?
A
Well, no, because it also. Everything done in the dark always comes to light. Everything. So all the fakery going on, I'm like, like, I just found ugly.
B
Me and y', all, we all find out about it. We know.
A
We know. So they're like, when it comes to comedians, is anyone that you would go and watch.
B
I love Cat Williams.
A
Okay. I love Dave Chappelle.
B
Never watched Dave Chappelle.
A
So you're lying.
B
I've never watched Dave Chappelle. Not one time.
A
Okay. That you're going home and that. That's crazy. You're. When you're watching that this weekend and then you're gonna text me and tell me you watched it.
B
Honestly, I don't watch a lot of comedy or really any comedy. And there's a reason. Not because I don't think other comics are talented, because I do. But I am. I will very much compare myself to other people.
A
Yeah.
B
And I truly believe that comparison is the thief of joy.
A
Amen.
B
If you compare yourself to people, then I'll tear myself down and I'll think I'm not good enough and I didn't do a good enough job. Or they did this better than I did. So I try to avoid watching comedy or watching stand up comedy because I don't want to compare myself to other.
A
That makes sense, though. I've never had it put that way.
B
And in this industry, it's also very. People will. Or people are quick to be like, oh, well, you stole their joke.
A
Yeah.
B
Or you did this. And they are. You know what I mean? So I'm like, no, the hell I didn't. Because I ain't never seen it.
A
I never seen it.
B
Never seen it.
A
That's. That's a good way to put it, though. I've never thought of it like that. But that makes sense.
B
I mean, they're probably not trying to be like you, but I mean, so you don't got to worry about that.
A
I have to worry about.
B
But you know, for me, people want.
A
To be like that.
B
They do. So it's. I mean, it's hard out here.
A
I'll. I'll try to. And maybe I'll start watching your stuff.
B
Maybe you should. You should.
A
Maybe. But, you know, I don't want to get intimidated.
B
It's hard. It's hard out here now.
A
It's like going through my mind. Videos I've seen and it's pretty hysterical. Just like how you've done it. But it's so crazy how organically you've done it.
B
Do you know what's funny to me?
A
What?
B
Is how many people ask if we're related.
A
Stop it.
B
The number of DMs and comments that I get asking if we're brother and sister or if I would take Chrisley son. I wish that's literally. Or they'll comment. Is this Todd Chrisley's son? I'm like, no, you should roast him.
A
That would be hilarious.
B
You should bring him to the show.
A
Yeah, we should do like a full rose.
B
That would be the roast of Todd Chrisley.
A
Oh, yeah, that. Oh, I don't know if he's ready for that.
B
I feel like he would get his feelings hurt.
A
Yeah.
B
Does he get his feelings?
A
Well, I brought it up to him one time about another comedian doing it and he's like, why would I sign up to be made fun of? And I was like, it's all in. It's all in jokes. It's all fun.
B
Here's the thing too, is people think, you know, especially when I roast people on stage.
A
Yes.
B
Like, it's a joke. It is part of a show. Like, I'm genuinely not a mean person. Yeah. You know, like, I wouldn't actually make fun of somebody or how they look or like any of those things and genuinely mean it. Like, mean hearted.
A
But what if they said, you know, the. What they say that like every joke has a little bit of truth.
B
I mean, look, if your hair is that big and that bleached, I don't know what else you want me to say, you know? No, I. In all honesty, I really do not. Like, I ain't trying to get your head big, but I think you're beautiful. But, you know, I really don't mean. When I'm. When I roast people, I really don't mean that, like hurtful or, you know. Now if you're that sensitive. I feel like we're in a place and I tell people this during my show. Like, my show, if you're a person that gets offended is not for you.
A
No.
B
Because I believe that we're in such a dark world that you have to learn to laugh about things.
A
You do.
B
And you have. People have to quit being so offended about everything and pull the stick out of their ass and learn to laugh about.
A
Yes.
B
Because if you just. If you can't laugh about dark situations or you can't laugh about things, then you're gonna cry about it.
A
Right.
B
And I think, you know, when you come to my show, it doesn't matter if you're black, if you're white, if you're gay if you're straight, you know, like, I make fun of everybody.
A
Yes.
B
You know, like, I tell people I'm not part of the elemental p community. You know, Like, I just. I make fun of gay people. You know what I mean? Like, I call myself derogatory terms on stage. You know what I mean? Because it's not that deep.
A
It's not. Thank you. That's what I've said is, like, you. We live in a world where everyone has to tiptoe now. You have to tiptoe around everyone's feelings and everyone's this and that. And I'm like, nine times out of ten, people aren't saying stuff to you to offend you.
B
Right.
A
It may offend you, but that wasn't their intentions to it.
B
If I offend you, that's not my problem.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, I just. It's really not, you know, because you.
A
Don'T have a mean heart.
B
I don't.
A
And I love people.
B
You know what I mean? I do. I love people. Regardless of who you are, what your race is, what your political views are, I love people. And so it's like, if me making a joke as a stand up comic offends you, then you're in the wrong place.
A
Wrong place.
B
Because I'm not gonna walk down the street and be like, hey, you look like a Oompa Loompa.
A
Yeah.
B
You know what I mean? Like, I'm not gonna do that to just somebody. I would have never sat down here and said all this stuff to you had you not said, please roast me. You know what I mean? Like, because I'm just not. That's not who I am.
A
I technically didn't say that. Aaron. Technically said.
B
She said it.
A
Y. Aaron. Aaron.
B
Go to hell.
A
Oh, I'll see you there.
B
You know what I mean, though?
A
It's just like, when mom and dad were gone, people would be like, how are your parents? And I just. I finally got so tired of hearing it, I would be like, still in prison.
B
Exactly. And that is funny. And it's not. Can I tell you a. Oh, yeah. No, I don't.
A
Yeah, you can. You can now. I want to.
B
Okay. So I said this. And this is, I think, actually before, like, you and I had started talking on the Internet, and I was like, I hope she realizes that I'm a comedian. And I just meant that. Funny. Like, I didn't mean it ugly. Oh, God. What did you say? But I remember somebody was like, oh, this is Todd Chrisley. Or, oh, this is. Somebody said something about, oh, I don't remember what it was. They said something about me being Todd Chrisley. I said, I don't know why y' all keep comparing me to Todd Chrisley. I said, I guess he's cute and all, but damn, I paid my taxes and people just died, you know? And number one, I didn't know anything about what was going on. So. Did I mean that truthfully or hurtfully? No.
A
Yeah.
B
It's a joke, you know, and it made people laugh.
A
Thank you.
B
And I'm like, if you cannot.
A
There's a difference in making a joke out of something and then just being this angry.
B
Like spiteful and hurtful.
A
Yes. Like, there's two. That's two totally different things.
B
Yeah. And I mean, your parents probably make jokes about it now.
A
Yeah. Right?
B
Yeah. Like, hello, if I just got out of prison, I'd be making jokes about that shit too.
A
That's like my dad said, it's the only way you could survive any of that is like, you've got to make jokes out of it. You gotta. It just. Some people are just wild, though. Some people just take it.
B
I feel bad for those type of people, though, because if you can't laugh about pain and you can't laugh, there's. There becomes a time in life where you have to be able to laugh.
A
Yeah.
B
Pick up that phone, Savannah. I'm not the out of you. If you.
A
Set a timer, I try to stay.
B
Damn. She said get this out of here. No, she said if. If you can't laugh about stuff, then you're in a constant state of turmoil.
A
Oh, without a doubt. That's. That's been the hardest thing, especially now in life. I'm just like, okay. And then sometimes I laugh at stuff, and then it's, like, inappropriate to laugh, and then I find myself in some bad situations.
B
It's also like, I mean, we do have a little bit of a. A little bit of a different pedestal. Being a stand up comic, you know, it's a little harder to. To get canceled. Get canceled.
A
Yeah.
B
But again, you have to know that, like, when you're doing stand up, you know, like, you're talking about things that are typically not something that you're going to talk about.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, you're. It is our job to talk about the things that other people shy away from.
A
Yes.
B
And to make it funny. Now there's things that I don't talk about. Like, things that just like. Because it doesn't matter, obviously. Politics and religion. I don't. I don't hit on those because People just too damn sensitive with those.
A
Yes. But it's also a sad time that we live in that people can't touch on something. And you believe what you believe. I believe what I believe. Whatever it may be. It's crazy. Have you ever made a joke, like, about whether it's, like, a couple and you talk about, like, a husband screwing around or whatever, and then it, like, was actually happening?
B
Yeah, there was one time that there was a couple. There was a couple and the husband had, like, gone to the bathroom, and she's sitting there with her and, like, her co worker. And I was talking about while they were gone, I was like, oh, y' all be. You know. And the husband came back and he sat back down. And I was like, just in case y' all know they. In case you didn't know they. And you can just see the panic on her face. She's like, what?
A
No, no.
B
And, like, everybody is commenting. They're like, they really. Cuz you see her face when she said that. And I was like, maybe I shouldn't have stirred that up. Cuz, you know, I know sometimes they're probably driving home and the conversations are just, like, tense. You really said that in him? In front of him?
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
What. What was your. Did you ever make a joke about the whole jumbotron thing that happened?
B
Um, yeah. I had a show. There was a cuz at one of my shows recently, they had, like, a screen that would show the audience that who I was talking to.
A
Yeah.
B
And there was a couple, and this lady had a ring on. And I was like, y' all married? And she was like, no. I said, y'. All. She was like, you know, I say, wait, you got a ring on? And the guy was like, man, quit starting shit. I was like, you came to my show. And then it turned to find out like it was. The ring was like, apparently her dead sister's ashes or something that had passed away. Oh. And I was like, well, make sure you take that off when y' all be. So your sister ain't a part of it, because that would really be, you know, a moment, so.
A
Oh, my God. Okay, so what's coming up for you? Like, are you. Are you on tour now? Where can people.
B
I'm still on tour. I feel like I'm always on tour. I'm filming my special here in Nashville at the ramen December 27.
A
I will be there.
B
You'll be there?
A
If I'm not, like, in Dubai or.
B
Somewhere for New Year's, you get on my damn nerves.
A
I really wanted to go to Dubai and then from Dubai to India. India to Singapore and spend New Year's Eve in Singapore. Where is Singapore on the map?
B
You don't even know. Spell Dubai.
A
D, U, B, A, I.
B
Is that right? Spell Singapore.
A
S, I, N, G, A, P, O, R, E. Wrong.
B
That's wrong. No, that ain't how you spell it.
A
Yeah, I'm pretty good at that.
B
You can't drive.
A
I can drive. Nobody's died yet.
B
I don't think I'd get in a car with you.
A
I'm fine.
B
Maybe we should drive, like, a dash cam. You just. We just put the phone up and just film while we. While I drive down the road.
A
Well, the other day, I had, like, a squirrel moment.
B
You can. I can have those a lot.
A
Yeah. And I saw, like, a house, and I was looking at it, and then the person in the car with me was like, stop, stop. I almost ate the ass end of a truck in front of me.
B
Well, you know, my friend Kale can't drive neither. Yeah, she can't drive for shit.
A
Really?
B
We always do car convos. Like, we call that car combos with Matt and Kale, where, like, we'll put the phone up.
A
Yeah.
B
And we'll just talk about the things that are happening in our lives while she drives.
A
Yeah.
B
And she kills us nine times. Like, she's almost killed us nine times out of 10. But, I mean, it makes for really great content.
A
See? It does.
B
Yeah.
A
See, that's what we need to do. You should get a place here in Nashville.
B
No, too many people for me. You could come to Birmingham. You come do farm chores.
A
I am actually pretty good on the farm. Just saying.
B
We'll put you in a robe.
A
Let's do it. We need to have, like. What was the show with Paris Hilton?
B
Simple Life.
A
Simple Life, yeah. We could do. Now, I say I'm good with farm stuff, but, like, I just rode horses growing up, and it was like, equestrian riding.
B
Okay. I saw that episode of y' all trying to ride them horses that.
A
No, I can ride. I can ride.
B
What about a barrel horse? See, because, you know, I got barrel horses that. That, like. Like, world. World. World qualifying barrel horses.
A
Well, so again, I did equestrian.
B
Equestrian means horse, dumbass.
A
Yeah. Yeah, I know. But, like, I had somebody that would kind of set things up for me and.
B
So you don't know how to saddle one on your own?
A
No, I do know how to saddle one. I do know how to do that. But, like, I just. It was a little more. Less.
B
It.
A
Redneck.
B
What the hell you trying to say, baby? Them horses I got are worth a million dollars in my barn.
A
Well, that you can be redneck and have money.
B
Yeah, that's. There's a difference in being redneck and country.
A
What's the difference? What's the difference?
B
She gonna keep on and I'mma knock them crooked eyebrows off her head.
A
What is the difference?
B
Rednecks don't got no teeth.
A
Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, I was educated on that.
B
I mean, they might have some veneers like yours, but they. They typically don't got teeth. You know country people. You don't consider yourself country person?
A
No, I consider myself Southern.
B
Okay, so, like. Yeah, because you never grew. You never lived, like. Have you always lived, like, in a neighborhood?
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. You've never, like, had land?
A
No.
B
Okay, so. Yeah, that's different. I would rather. I would rather be on land, like, with nobody around.
A
Was it because you don't have a lot of friends?
B
Probably, yeah. Yeah.
A
But then how do you do these shows with all these people?
B
I'm actually very much an introvert. I just. I'm. I'm good at performing.
A
So you just turn it on and turn it off? I like to think I'm that way a lot. Like, when I have to turn it on, I turn it on. But then I want to be by myself.
B
Yeah.
A
So do you think you'll ever have kids?
B
I don't really like kids.
A
Really?
B
I don't. I don't f. With kids.
A
Why?
B
Because they're gross. They get on my nerves. They talk too much. They stink. I just don't like them little bastards.
A
What about. Does your husband want them?
B
Yeah.
A
So what are you gonna do?
B
I think we're gonna have to tell them that people in hell want ice water. Don't mean they're gonna get it.
A
I'll take care of your kid.
B
Oh, hell no. Absolutely the not.
A
No, I do a good job.
B
Oh, well, you did have to raise yours because your family was in prison.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah, that'll them up. That'll really do it.
A
Hey, it makes you strong.
B
It makes you strong. How many did you raise?
A
I mean, I didn't that. Two. Just for two and a half years, though.
B
Oh, just two.
A
It was a preteen girl.
B
Did you get. Did you get. Did you get paid for that?
A
I need you to take it up with Todd.
B
He didn't pay you for that? No, that's.
A
Yeah, that's preteen girl and a teenage boy.
B
I feel like he was probably easier.
A
He was a lot Easier. He was an angel. She was. Ooh, moody. Yeah. I'd probably not do kids if I were you.
B
Yeah, you want kids?
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, that was quick. You gotta find a man first. You don't do well in that department.
A
What's that supposed to mean?
B
I mean, I'm just saying, they just.
A
I just don't. Yeah, I don't really pick too well sometimes. The last one ghosted me.
B
Why?
A
I don't know. The day his divorce was final, he ghosted.
B
Why was you talking to somebody that was married?
A
Well, he.
B
Oh, you a hoe. No, you a hoe. You a home wrecking hoe.
A
No, no, they had already filed for divorce way before we met. Then we dated two years.
B
You don't mean that.
A
This is the one that his wife allegedly tried to off him in the Bahamas. Remember the beauty queen, the auburn?
B
No, I don't follow you like that.
A
No, you've seen it all over the Internet. Have I? Look, this one.
B
Why did he try to get murdered? I mean, he didn't try, but he divorced her.
A
Yeah. And then.
B
Okay, here's what I want to. Hold on. We dated two years, a year and a half. Savannah, you dumb as hell. Dumb as hell. Going to date somebody while they going through a divorce and a tried to kill him. You dumb as hell.
A
She.
B
But she probably killed your ass.
A
Yeah, it.
B
See there? Dumb. You dumb for dick. All that for a tally whacker. You could have found somebody else to give you a damn tallywacker. Somebody that wasn't gonna have an ex wife that was gonna kill your stupid ass.
A
Yeah, I. I didn't really. I don't know what I was thinking. I really don't know what I was thinking.
B
You give me stomach ulcers.
A
Yeah. Yeah. The best part about him was his three kids. Not gonna lie.
B
I thought she was about to say the best part about him was his telewaffer.
A
Well, I mean, I like to be very ladylike, but I wasn't complaining there either.
B
Well, you was gonna be when she kills your ass. I hope it was worth it. I hope it was worth spinning around like a damn rodeo for that. For that. When you get your ass murdered on the damn carousel and murdered.
A
Damn.
B
That was not bright.
A
No, looking back, it probably wasn't.
B
Wasn't bright. It's a good thing we weren't friends at that point because I'd have been. I'd have told you the truth.
A
Yeah.
B
I feel like you need more people in your life to tell you the truth.
A
Oh, I think I've Yeah, but now I think I've added one. I'm a little scared of your truth. It kind of scares me.
B
What's the other ones you dated? So one died, One almost got murdered.
A
I dated a basketball player.
B
How'd that work out for you? Bowling one.
A
He. How'd that one go? Well, no, I found out he was cheating on me on my birthday trip and I sent him packing and I told him he could get on Delta Southwest American. I didn't give an F, but he was going to get the hell out. And so that happened. One of these. This bracelet's from him.
B
Why you still wear it?
A
Oh, because I'm not dumb. It didn't mean anything. It's gold.
B
She said I'm not dumb, but I dated a man that almost got murdered by his ex wife before they finished getting a divorce. I'm not dumb.
A
Okay, yeah, but so then he went back to like his high school girlfriend, God bless him. Who else did I date?
B
I wanted to know who's the other people? Big and old. Oh, big and old. Tell me who else? Don't skip on past this.
A
There's a difference in dating. There's a difference. In Savannah, I tend to like older people.
B
How old?
A
Like this bitch.
B
50. They nutsack is wrinkly. They have to take Viagra to even get it up. They're normally you nasty.
A
They're normally successful.
B
You can find a young one that's successful. Savannah.
A
It seems like I'm having. Yeah, that seems like a hard task.
B
What if we did a. What if we did a show where I was your matchmaker?
A
Oh, I don't know. I don't know if I'd.
B
I bet I could find you a good one. I've been married 11 years.
A
11 years? No way.
B
Yeah. Try me. Ho.
A
And you've never cheated?
B
No.
A
What?
B
I did have a throuple one time, but that didn't work out real well. Yeah. Oh, not a good decision.
A
Who likes to share?
B
My husband don't mind, but I just can't do it.
A
No, I'd get too jealous.
B

B
35, 36. Oh, no, there is successful men that are that age, Savannah.
A
My last just turned 40 and he fully developed.
B
Is it. Is it because they're successful and have money, or is it their looks?
A
No, I think I do like a more sophisticated looking man because I feel.
B
Like all the ones that you've dated have been young.
A
Yeah. And that's. I think it scarred me.
B
And I'm like, well, yeah, because you keep picking dumbass.
A
Yes. Because imagine, like, somebody that's older is gonna look at me like, oh, my God, you are the greatest thing in the world.

Well, I met him at a place that I go to frequently. Cause I was like, this is someone online. It could be the Craigslist Killer, for all I know. So I went to a place that I always go to, and he pulls up, and I'm not judging a book by its cover, by any means. I was just like, okay. You know, pulls up, gets out of his car, and he had to, like, put his key in the door to lock it.
B
Oh, what a broke bitch.
A
I was like, okay, this is humble. This is. Okay, we like this. And then we sit down. He's not a. He lied. He's not a restaurant owner. He's a manager at a restaurant.

A
And then he starts. He was like, so, what's your story? I was like, I was engaged. He was like, well, I'd never be engaged to you. And I was like, oh, okay. And then he had me pay for the meal.

This episode of Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley centers around a candid, fast-paced, and irreverently funny conversation between Savannah and comedian Matt Mathews. Woven through playful roasting and sharp banter, the discussion dives into Matt’s viral rise from farm chores in a bathrobe, online fame, the intersection of vulnerability and comedy, authenticity in entertainment, and hilarious, sometimes biting explorations of personal relationships, careers, and Southern culture. The “roast” premise gives Matt fertile territory for live zingers and a real-time demonstration of his comedic style.
Farm Chores & Boudoir Photography
“As a boudoir photographer, my goal was to make people feel beautiful... it wasn't your weight that determined your self worth. It was okay to feel beautiful in your skin and your body and body positivity.”
Pivot to Farm Comedy
“So I was like... I'm gonna start showing my personal life of me on the farm. And I really do be out there in a robe, because I don’t like to wear clothes.”
[09:17] Manifesting a private jet didn’t go as planned:
“You have to be very specific in your manifestations... I manifested a private plane, not a private jet. It's not the same thing.”
[10:16] Matt’s thriftiness:
“I'm so cheap, I don't spend no money... I grew up so poor that I am terrified of being poor again.”
[11:18] Audience expectations for being roasted:
“What are they really gonna do, get up and leave? It kills me though... they’ll walk right across the front just so I get their attention, just so they get my attention, so that I'll roast them.”
[11:50] Stories of audience reactions, including the infamous “Dollar General jumpsuit” incident.
Security Stories
Encounters with Overzealous Fans
“Nobody. Because they don’t like me... I also just don’t like nobody... It's very difficult to find friends. To be an adult in the entertainment industry and find friends is even harder.”
[19:29] Matt avoids watching other comics to prevent unhealthy comparison and accusation of joke stealing:
“Comparison is the thief of joy. If you compare yourself to people... I'll tear myself down and think I’m not good enough.”
[21:31] On stage roasting:
“It’s a joke. It is part of a show. Like, I’m genuinely not a mean person... If you're that sensitive, I feel like we're in a place... if you get offended, my show is not for you.”
[22:23] The philosophy of comedy and offense:
"We're in such a dark world that you have to learn to laugh about things... if you can't laugh about dark situations... then you're gonna cry about it."
[24:14] Savannah jokes about answering questions regarding her parents’ incarceration:
“I just finally got so tired of hearing it, I would be like, still in prison.”
[25:13] Matt’s own jokes about Chrisley family legal issues:
“I said, I don't know why y'all keep comparing me to Todd Chrisley. I said, I guess he's cute and all, but damn, I paid my taxes.”
[25:58] Matt on the value of finding humor in dark times:
“If you can't laugh about pain... you've got to be able to laugh.”
"I'm actually very much an introvert. I'm good at performing."
“Let’s make a profile and let me run it... I'll talk to them. You'll show up if I approve.” [43:11]
[29:07] Matt is presently on tour and filming a special at the Ryman in Nashville, December 27.
Recent ventures include leveraging his on-tour exposure for his pop-up shop, merch, and candle line.
On Manifestation:
“You have to be very specific in your manifestations... I manifested a private plane, not a private jet. It's not the same thing.”
— Matt, [09:17]
On Comedy and Trauma:
“The best comics have gone through a lot of trauma. And it’s the absolute truth.”
— Matt, [07:34]
On Entertainment Industry Friendships:
“I would ride for them. And all they would do is use you... And they then, when they don't need you, they're done.”
— Matt, [17:43]
Roasting Culture at Shows:
“If you’re a person that gets offended, my show is not for you.”
— Matt, [22:23]
On Handling Criticism and Offense:
“If I offend you, that's not my problem... because you don't have a mean heart.”
— Matt, [23:24–23:32]
Joking on Chrisleys & Accountability:
"I don't know why y'all keep comparing me to Todd Chrisley. I said, I guess he's cute and all, but damn, I paid my taxes."
— Matt, [25:13]
On Savannah’s Dating Life:
“You dumb for dick. All that for a tallywacker. Somebody that wasn't gonna have an ex-wife that was gonna kill your stupid ass.”
— Matt, [36:08]
On Age Preferences in Men:
“50. They nutsack is wrinkly. They have to take Viagra to even get it up. You nasty.”
— Matt, [38:47]
“I'll do some crazy shit for a jet.”
— Matt, [40:11]
The episode is irreverent, southern, raw, and quick-witted. The roast format means real friendship and playful jabs abound. Matt is unapologetically real; Savannah is self-deprecating and takes the roasting in good spirit. Guests and host alike repeatedly emphasize humor as healing, the value of authenticity, and the absurdities of their own lives for comedic material.
If you’re a fan of fast, boundary-pushing southern comedy, self-deprecation, and behind-the-scenes real talk about rising up in the entertainment industry, this episode delivers laughs, cultural observations, and surprising depth. Both Matt and Savannah show how humor, no matter how biting, can be a coping mechanism worth celebrating—and a starting point for connection.
