The Holidays Are Tough (feat. Grayson Chrisley) 38:55

This message is brought to you by the Cologuard test. Cologuard is a one-of-a-kind way to feel more in control of your colon cancer screening through a use-at-home test with none of the prep that's required of a colonoscopy. The Cologuard test is the only FDA-approved, non-invasive screening test that looks for both altered DNA and blood in your stool. The American Cancer Society recommends that if you're at average risk, you begin screening for colon cancer at age 45.

And because many people with early-stage colon cancer have no symptoms, colon cancer screenings are crucial for early detection. So if you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your health care provider about screening for colon cancer with the Cologuard test. You can also request a Cologuard prescription today at Cologuard.com slash podcast.

Do not use Cologuard if you've had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer. False positive and negative results may occur. Any positive results should be followed by a colonoscopy, not a replacement for colonoscopy in high-risk patients. The Cologuard test is available by prescription only.

Terms apply. It's just been a rough morning. When is it not a rough morning? Well, then there's that. Then there's that. You say every day is a rough morning. Grayson, do you see my title to my rough mornings after the past three days? Yeah. Okay. I'll give these to you. That's it. Thank you. That's all you get. Thank you. I appreciate that. But then this morning was particularly just like heartbreaking. Oh God, here we go.

It was devastating. Who broke the news to you? You. I'm getting ready. I'm watching the news. Like, you know it's sad when this is more devastating than the news. Okay? Like, I'm watching the news. I'm getting ready. I'm like, all right, this is going to be a good day. Like, positive affirmations. Like, it's going to be a great day. I feel good. It's going to be awesome. And then...

Grayson just decides to completely shit on my morning. Completely. Just, I get a screenshot from him and it says, she took your man. And it is Kevin Costner and Jewel dating. Cozy photos on Caribbean vacay. They are too cozy for comfort. Way too cozy for comfort. I don't. You're going to have some PTSD with the Caribbean. Yeah.

Kevin Costner. It says Kevin Costner is apparently rebounding after his split from Christine Baumgartner because he and Jewel are now a thing. And Grayson texted me and said, I knew you. And I responded. I was like, I'm heartbroken. He said, I knew you would be. I figured it was better that I was the one who broke the news.

So he just couldn't have let me figure this out after we recorded podcast. It had to be right before. So my heart shattered. You got to rip the bandaid off. I wonder what their age difference is. Probably a lot. Joel. Oh, there's definitely more than that between he and I. Oh, gosh. That's just I mean, see, 19 years. That's nothing.

Well, it's not 19 years between you and him. No, I know. But in my mind, it's going to be. In my mind, it's going to be. So I talk about this because like, yes, I love Kevin Costner, but like it's now become just such a joke. And one day we're going to find all the times I've spoken about Kevin Costner in this podcast and just compile it all together. And just like the love story in my mind with Kevin Costner, but like it would never happen. Okay. It would just never happen. Then you need to accept that.

I haven't reached that phase of like rehabilitation or grief. Yeah, just like I haven't reached that acceptance phase. It's okay. You're just delulu. I'm just what? Delulu. Delulu. Also, well, clearly that's what it means. What is going on in your face right now? Well, I don't know. I just got lazy. I didn't want to shave. I'm not your bro. That's debatable. I tell everybody that you're a dude. You just look like a girl.

Where is that coming from? Savannah, you get outside and play basketball and like shove people around. Okay. And throw the football like a guy. Okay. I'm athletic. And do you know I got asked to play in a celebrity pickleball tournament at Bridgestone Arena? I would destroy all of them. Celebrity pickleball at Bridgestone Arena. So...

- On Monday, I'm going to-- - You should see if I can play with you. I'd smack him around. - We should. That would be really fun. - Tell him I'm an athlete. - No, but you're a terrible, terrible sport. - I'm not gonna lose. - See, that's why you're a terrible sport. - Do you understand that I would defeat them mentally before we even start? - Okay, so you're just a terrible sport. I hate playing with you. - I'm literally gonna live in their head rent free. - You make me wanna walk out into oncoming traffic.

How do you think you make me feel? Okay. Well, I mean, fair enough. Yeah. So on Monday, I'm going to this country music singer's house. They have pickleball courts. Professional pickleball lesson. And for a professional pickleball lesson. Yeah. And I'm going to like start doing it. I played against Chase the other day and won 11-2 and 11-4. Well, that's, I mean, it's against Chase, dude. So, yeah. So I got asked to play in a celebrity pickleball tournament at Bridgestone Arena.

Let me see. Which is going to be wild. So I got to get really good at it. There's also like this professional pickleballer that said he would give me lessons. And this is just, I'm going to be a professional pickleballer. We'll see. Professional pickleballer. That's my next thing. Okay. And two, if J-Lo and Ben play, we all should play. If J-Lo does anything, we should all do it.

Fair enough. JLo is... Oh my god. I can't. I'd let JLo ruin my life. Would you? Yeah. That's great to know. You've got great judgment. Hottest 50-year-old I've ever seen. See, just like Kevin Costner. Just like Kevin Costner. Nobody will ever top Margot Robbie. Margot Robbie, she's gorgeous. Gorgeous. Wall Street Margot Robbie.

I don't know. What are you? What is what's Wolf of Wall Street Margot Robbie? It's her accent that makes her really hot. Really? His face. But what, Sean? You got to pull up a clip of her. All right. So now we're on the topic of Margot Robbie. And. All right. Oh, he's hot. Yeah, she's got it. She's got a good accent in that movie. All right. So we're moving.

Why are we even talking about this? I don't even know how we got off on this. Chloe asked me to go see Barbie and I said I would because Margot Robbie's hot. Well, that's good. You're a great brother. I'm glad. You didn't even take her. Holly took her. I know. So I dodged a bullet. You dodged a bullet. All right. So why do you just seem like somebody just ruined your morning? You look like I should look right now. You should. You should be devastated. Yeah. For many reasons. I know.

But Grayson got in trouble. At Leidos, a brilliant mind is smart, but a brilliant team is smarter. A ship that finds enemy subs is smart, but an autonomous fleet, that's smarter. Defending against cyber attacks, smart. Stopping attacks before they start, smarter. And using AI tools is smart, but integrating trusted mission AI into your technology is smarter.

and that he should not have done. And, but he's also a normal 17 year old. So like it wasn't detrimental. He's fine. He's alive. When she called me, it was like I hung up on the phone with my dad. I, I called, I called Robert right after. And I said, that's the closest thing to being on the phone with Todd Chrisley that I've experienced. Well,

And he goes, "Oh, I know. You're sitting there looking at Christmas lights one second, and the next thing you know it's MF this, F this." Mason, do not! That's not true! I said the F word like twice. I didn't say MF, I said the F word twice. I was so infuriated because he, no, I said the F word like probably twice. I'm not proud of it, but you were being irresponsible

You are being very irresponsible, very disrespectful. And I do everything on my own. Everything I do, I make sure that y'all have what you want, what you need. Okay, I wasn't disrespectful. It was irresponsible. But don't sound like I was disrespectful. But that is a form of disrespect. That's not a form of disrespect. That's just being stupid. That's not disrespect. How's that disrespecting you?

Well, anyways, after the fact, I apologize and said I should have responded better. I should have communicated more effectively. But I thought I was doing the right thing by telling you. But this is just one more thing for me to have to deal with. I know. Yeah. I can usually talk my way out of a lot of things. I can't talk myself out of this one. Yeah. No, you cannot. So Grayson's grounded right now. Kinda. Kinda.

What do you mean? I could hang out this weekend. So I'm like, I'm probably going to change my mind. So you better. Yeah. All right. Well, now that we've talked about our celebrity, like heartbreaks, it's just devastating. Pickleball. Megan Maroney getting a boyfriend really got me. It got you. That one got you. Yeah. I figured. She posted her boyfriend and posted the next slide. Have a good day.

Me and my friend David commented, "How can you post 'Have a good day' after you broke all of our hearts?" Yeah, that's, I mean, you know, fair enough. David's still trying though. Fair enough. You got to give it to him. Still trying with you too. Yeah, David, one of Grayson's friends literally always on all of my lives, on photos, everything, he's like,

"Oh, hey girlfriend." I'm like, "I'm not your girlfriend." But it's like done. It's hilarious. - I called him the other day. I said, "You know Savannah showed her boyfriend your DMs, right?" He said, "No."

All right. Now we also have holidays.

Thanksgiving actually was not bad. No. Thanks. But I think it's because we were out of the country. That's what I spoke about on my podcast this past like whenever. I'm not sure when this is going to air, but I'd spoken on recent episodes how Thanksgiving it was tough, but it made it easier that we were out of the country because it felt like just another day kind of. Yeah. So that was in my opinion, it wasn't as hard.

- Yeah. And we had tacos, so it took your mind off of being Thanksgiving. - Yeah, exactly. I was like, let's go complete opposite of anything we would do. We're eating tacos. - Yeah, I wasn't happy about that. - Well, I mean, crazy. We were also in another country that like they didn't even have a turkey at the grocery store. - I saw a bunch of them roaming around the street. - Okay. I'm pretty sure that was a chicken.

Not a turkey. Chicken and turkey are two different things. Chicken tastes different than turkey! Not really. For sure, they're different. That's what I said! They don't really taste that. They're two completely different things. They don't, if you, no, if you taste them side by side, they don't really taste that different. Grayson said, but are they? Yeah, they're two totally different things! Chicken and turkeys taste totally different. You have both at Thanksgiving. You, since when do you have chicken at Thanksgiving? We have ham and turkey.

same thing no not the same thing dude not the same thing would have worked okay teach their own teach their own chicken turkey same thing in grayson's opinion um and now we have christmas which also we were already decorated for christmas in november yeah that's what you're supposed to do no you're not you don't believe in decorating for christmas like we decorated

Like a week after Halloween. I just think it's too much. Why? Because then you got to take it all down. And it's just, well, not for you. It's not too much, but you had me in a crawl space getting boxes out for a couple hours. Well, she goes, I'm going to help you. And then leaves to go get laser. Okay. Well, I had to get to, and you were also homeschooled and it's,

It's not going to hurt you to do that. It's not going to hurt you to get in the crawl space and get the boxes down. Yeah, let's put the biggest one in the crawl space. That makes a lot of sense. It sure does. It sure does. And you did it, but while you were doing it, you did not have an attitude. You were very helpful. You can thank these for that. Yeah, your AirPods for sure. So you were very helpful and I appreciate it. So thank you. You're welcome. And so how do you feel about Christmas coming up?

I mean, it'll be all right. Because Chloe is not looking forward to it. I'm not either. I'm not a big holiday guy anymore, really. Yeah, but why? And trust me, it sucks. It's tough. But what can we do to change and shift that mindset? Nothing, really. Have you thought about... I've just never been a real big holiday guy. Grayson has always been the biggest holiday person. Yeah, but I don't get insanely excited like people do.

I just never have. Grayson, yes, you did as a kid. Oh, my gosh. Every kid gets excited, but once you, you know, learn certain stuff, it's not really exciting anymore. Yes, it is. You can have the holiday cheer and like, I mean, maybe when you get older, it'll get more exciting again because there's all these different fun Christmas activities. You get more excited than Chloe does for Christmas. Well,

I'm trying to be excited this year for y'all and for, because it's what mom would do. Like we have to, I've learned instead of shying away from the things that someone you love loved during the holidays, instead of shying away from it because they're not here, lean into it. Do everything that that person would do. Yeah. So that's what I'm trying to do.

And we'll do whatever y'all want to do. I mean, we can be home. We can go somewhere. We can go somewhere. I don't like being cold. So you're wanting to go somewhere tropical. I just don't like being cold. Okay. I got it. I got you. I got love though. I mean, I don't mind like going skiing and having cute outfits and being all bundled up. Why would I pay to be cold? That doesn't make sense to me. Why would I pay to be cold? Why would I pay to be miserable?

It's so much fun. No, it's not. Just wait until you get to be like 21 and up. And when you can go and ski and like do a few runs and then you like, I will never forget. We went when Nick and I went to Canada and we had like the best time because you ski down to the end. There just happens to be alcohol there. So it's like you're skiing for a goal. You know, like you're skiing for a prize.

So it's like I got to make it alive to get down there, to get some courage, to then come back up and do it again. I'd rather sit on a beach. Well, then there's that too. I mean, I don't mind a beach. I love a good beach. I love a good beach. And too, I got some gift cards I can use. I do. I love. Y'all will realize about me now with two kids. I love a good deal. I love a good deal. If I can find a good deal, I'm taking it.

So I'm like, I mean, I haven't quite become, like have not become a coupon clipper by any means, but.

I just can't. When you get stuck, have you gotten stuck in the grocery store before with someone? Yeah, Nanny Pam. I just look at them like, are you serious right now? Well, y'all, okay, I do believe...

Especially with the economy being the way that it is now. Like if you have coupons to get your stuff. Yeah, but you're holding up the whole line. It's like, come on. Yeah, like maybe go to the grocery store. You're holding up the whole line to save like 50 cents. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah. Like if you're going to the grocery store and using your coupon book...

Maybe don't go at rush hour times is probably my advice. But I do believe, hey, buy one, get one free, go for it. Or, you know, you can get X amount of dollars off. Great. And the economy now, we all love a good deal. It's a struggle. But, okay, so holidays. You want to go somewhere? Yeah. Tropical, not cold. Well, all right, we're going to see. We'll see what our plans are.

Because we are going to go see mom. They're doing like a family day. Like before Christmas. So we're going to go do that. So we'll go see mom then. And then I think we're going to go see dad. We got to figure out the schedule. But Christmas Eve, Christmas, and then through the new year, we'll be... We're going on one trip. And then... I don't know. Maybe I'll take you out somewhere. We'll see. All right. For people listening, if kids are in your car...

They're listening right now. Turn off the podcast. Okay. Turn it off. Resume later. I'm giving you time before I move forward. So again, if kids are in your car, turn it off. Resume later. Gosh, I was... It's been like a crazy last week and this week. It feels like this week's flown by just because of everything. But I was in New York. I did a big interview that's airing actually...

it's airing tonight, but when this episode is released, it will have already aired about mom and dad's case, some of the ins and outs, things of that nature. And then from there, I went to Atlanta because I went to this conference called the Aspire Conference, which was insane. It was absolutely amazing. You had kids.

Who all was there? I mean, there was just so many different people who spoke and I learned so much. I took so much from it. I have made some awesome friendships from that conference and I'm super excited to see what's going to come from all of it. God's working in crazy ways. But while I was gone, Nanny Faye was staying with y'all.

Nanny Faye was staying with y'all. And how was it? It was all right. She was complaining about the elves. Yeah. Why was she complaining about the elves? She said I made too much of a mess doing it. I am curious. Do you guys do the whole elf thing in your house? Or is that not a thing? Because we've always done it in our house. I just don't really see how she doesn't like realize it.

Grayson, because kids have a bad day. But you can notice a difference between when you do it and when I do it. Well, no, I've just been tired. Well, she, no. She, the other day. But even when you did it before, you can notice a big difference. Why? Because of what I do versus what you do. Well, yeah. Grayson decides. So while I was out of town, he knew his responsibility was every night before he went to bed, he had to do the elves. These elves...

Y'all, he wrapped an elf around a champagne bottle and then had another elf in a mac and cheese bowl. And there was candy and food and chocolate syrup and flour like all over the floor. And I'm like, dude, because he wanted the elves to have had a drunken night. Yeah, that's what I do every year.

So he's going to have drunk elves. And so you're right. I don't know how she does. I even held back a little bit. Well, I'm glad. I'm glad you held back because and it was so funny because I got home and she goes, I'm so tired of these elves.

She said they have just made a mess after mess and I have to clean up. They just need to go home. They need to go home. I'm trying to clean it up after him. And then she had attitude with me. So the night I got home, her elf was on strike.

It said her elf was on strike because she was not being respectful. So, and I got these like cards from this girl on Instagram, which I've linked and I'll link again on my story, but they're awesome. It makes the whole elf thing easier. But Grayson, you did a great job with the elves. And last night when she got an attitude, you said your elves aren't going to come. Yeah. I don't care. I want them to go home anyway. Yeah.

And whispered it like they were going to hear it. She did, y'all. So last night, she got an attitude with me because I was making her get ready for bed. And I was like, you better be careful. I was like, because your elves are listening. She goes, I was like, why are you whispering? She was like, I'm ready for them to go home. They're making a mess. And I thought it was... Grace and I just looked at each other like, this is hysterical. So tonight, you'll have to help me. Because what? One night, you put them in the freezer. Yeah. And...

Kids imaginations are insane because she actually thought the elf... Ate the ice cream. Ate the ice cream. She brought that up to me and said, huh? She goes, yeah, they ate the ice cream. I was like, I just walked away. Grayson. Well, you got to hear the conversation we had last night. I almost chewed her out. Why? I had somebody add me on Snapchat named Chloe Chrisley. And I said, Chloe, come to my room now.

And I said, who told you you could get Snapchat? She goes, I don't have Snapchat. I said, give me your phone. And I looked up. She didn't even have it downloaded. Okay. What about her iPad? I didn't check her iPhone. So that might be a conversation you could have. But what's so hard is because so many people, as you know... Let me see this. I don't even look like her. I don't know. She thinks the Roblox character looks like her and it's got purple hair. Okay. Hold on. Not the most realistic... I want to know from parents...

How you... Whoa, what are you looking at? Stop. I'm going to go for you to add a friend. Well, I ain't adding them. But look, what I can do is see if in your contact list... I know how Snapchat works. Okay. I want to know how parents find out. Obviously, there's only so much you can monitor like on your kids' devices. So you can go through it. You can do whatever...

You know, you can only do so much. And two, oh no, she didn't download it because like a parental thing on my account to where she has to ask me. Like... I'm just saying. She has to ask me to... She used to have it on her phone. Yeah, she used to. And I don't think it would give you a parental thing if she already had, like used to have it. Really? I don't think it would. Okay, well, I am not a Snapchat fan. I do not like it. Believe me.

There's a lot of harm to come from it with kids and predators and all these different things. So I am not a Snapchat fan. And if I catch her with Snapchat, her phone is mine. - I was like... - Mine. Well really, my phone is mine. 'Cause I paid for it. - She almost got it last night. - What'd she say? - She was scared. You can tell. I think she's guilty because she was scared. So I said, she goes, because usually when I say comb in my room, she does.

And I said, come in my room. She goes, why? I said, come in my room. She goes, why? I said, because I told you to. I said, come in my room. She comes walking slow into my room. She definitely downloaded it. So now you're a snitch. I just know the type of stuff that happens on Snapchat. So she shouldn't have it. Okay. Well, no, she definitely should not have Snapchat. And we are, if I find out, she's got it. She is mine. She is mine.

All right, let's see. All right, now we're going to go through some questions on Instagram. And it says, one question is, has he picked a college? No. No. Not yet. Obviously, we've talked about college. And? I'll go if I can play baseball. But why would you not go? I encourage you to go. It becomes less valuable every day. That's not true. That is true. That's very true. That is very true.

Okay, someone else said, when is he getting his own podcast? I need to do that. I think you would be great at like a sports commentating podcast. Oh, I'd be really good right now. Why? Get some unpopular opinions. What's your unpopular opinion? Florida State definitely shouldn't be in the playoffs. Really? Why do you say that? Who'd have gotten spanked by 60?

They have a third string quarterback that could even throw for 100 yards against Louisville. They're a basketball school. Okay. Well, there it goes. So I personally think Grayson should have like a sports commentating podcast and we got to find someone for you to do it with. I have to start it if Otani signs with the Braves. You have to? Yeah. Okay. I'd lose my mind. All right. Let's see.

What is the first thing you want to do together when your family can reunite? I don't know. I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? I don't know what we do. Do you not think about that? Mm-mm. Why? I don't really get my hopes up. It makes me hope it's soon. It's probably not, so I don't think about it. So you just think, well, see, I don't. I watch all these videos. I like thinking about stuff as it happens. Why would I think about something years down the road?

Well, because what you speak into existence, I don't believe in that. Studies show that if you say like, I'm going to have a great day today, I'm going to look in the mirror and say, I'm going to have a great day today. And you have positive affirmations. You speak positively to yourself. You studies show that you are more likely to have a better day. I don't believe in that.

Well, negative. That's not how I am. I'm not being negative. You're also going to be realistic. Well, you know, I'm not every day is going to be sunshine and rainbows. No, it's not going to be sunshine rainbows every day. But, you know, I'm one of the most realistic people in our family. You know, I will say this is how it is. This is what's happening. No, that's not right. Don't get choked up, whatever. But you also have to have some level of

and hope and positivity. I get hope, but I don't believe in having false hope. Okay. Like, that's not how that works. Well, of course things happen, but read, why don't you go read some self-help books, okay? It's like in May, if I say, I hope it snows, is it going to snow? Grayson, no. Exactly. That's my point. Nothing you say matters. All right, negative Nelly. All right.

Did you Florida State realize there's nothing you say matters? That's pretty good. JD's going to love that one. Someone said, how did it feel to grow up on TV? I don't really know any different. I don't remember much before the show. Well, yeah, because you were like a baby. Yeah. You were a baby. So I tell everybody when they ask me that. It wasn't much before the show. Yeah. All right. Now.

Last question. What is your favorite country singer? Oh, that's easy. Who? Jace Nodding. It's not even close. It's not even close. It's not even close. Not even close. He's number one on my Apple Music, my Spotify. His album's number one on my listen to. Well, and he's just a great person. I have 3,500 hours listening to Jace Nodding and Morgan Wallen's second with 2,700. Okay. Well, we love you.

We love our country music around here. I only had one rapper in my entire top 10. It was Drake. Well, we love our country music. All right. Well, next time I'm going to need you to... You're going to have to show up more often. I can't. Quality over quantity. Grayson, no. You're going to have to... You can't burn me out like that. I can't. I got to show up every couple months and save your podcast. Oh, okay. Well, I'm glad. Thank you for showing up every few months and saving my podcast. Big...

Big Muscadine Bloodline fan, though. Okay. We're good. All right. Well, next time I need you to show up and have a little more pep in your step. Like, wake up that morning and be like, it's going to be a great day today. I don't need to have all this energy. It's my comedic timing that does it for you. On that note, I can't wait to have you back next time. You're welcome. Social media is exhausting. I mean, I love it. The memes, the drama, the tea.

So I started a podcast to digest all that is going on and give you an opportunity to just sit back and soak it all in. The Perez Hilton Podcast. We talk trending topics, cultural reset, and in case you missed it. So if this sounds like your world, your cup of tea, give my podcast a listen. The Perez Hilton Podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts.
