Did not plan this at all, but it just happened to happen. We couldn't plan it. If we were to plan something, you'd have to answer the phone. Okay, I do answer the phone. Like once every 10 calls. Yeah. So if I was dying or if I was going to jail, you'd be the last person that I would call. I would not. Okay, so last time you were on, I kept saying basically like you were boring because you wouldn't give me any like good tea. Mm-hmm.

But you had tea to give at the time. Yeah, it was just fresh. You just chose not to give it. Yeah. And then you chose to give it to another outlet. It was already out there at that point. It was already out there. It wasn't... Whenever I... You're letting somebody else profit off of it. No. Whenever I...

whenever we first broke up it was that it was honestly like two like a month and a half before i did your podcast but we hadn't told anybody yeah so nobody knew okay well i knew and i wanted you to tell everybody okay well i'll tell everybody right now okay so you and emmy did in fact break up we did okay and what do you want to know i mean i'm just gonna say

I told you not to get engaged. You did. I told you so. I think having you there at the engagement was just bad juju. So now it's my fault. I'm just saying. It's my fault. If the shoe fits. Hey, I told you don't get engaged too soon. You're don't do it. And you did it. I did do it. Yeah, you did it. But did you learn some lessons? I did. I learned a lot of lessons. And I mean, all...

Our entire relationship, we didn't, it wasn't all bad times, you know? I mean, we just, I've got a lot of shit that I'm dealing with. She's got a lot of shit that she's dealing with. She just chose to leave me while I was dealing with my shit. Well, and then there's that. But we mutually agree just to part ways because we just. Yeah. I think though you're like over the hump now. Like I think you're doing good. Yeah. Yeah. I'm great. I'm great.

I'm doing real good now. I'm definitely over the hump. I can. It was rough there for a little while, but I mean, I'm over it now. And like I said on that interview, I said, I think God hears, hears conversations we don't hear and sees things that we don't see. Yeah. So he moved her out of my life and I'm grateful for that because it clearly was not meant to be. Yeah. And that's the thing. It's,

And there's a lot of dirty shit that went down that should have been handled differently. Just the lack of respect was not there. Well, I think too, though, on both sides. For sure. I've made mistakes in our relationship 100%, but so did she. Okay. And definitely, because I'm a stalker, I will...

I will go through the rabbit hole of social media and I will end up on your sister's, cousin's, best friend's, boyfriend's, family's page. Like, I will go down the rabbit hole and I will find what I need to find. And I did find some stuff. What'd you find? That was, you know, dates and times of comments that maybe shouldn't have happened. So... I mean, it's just dirty. That shit's just dirty. I'm not coming on here to bash her. No, not at all. Like, I...

It's just safe to say she's not who I thought she was. Okay, that's fair. Like you said, you have things that you have to work on as well. Yeah, for sure. I mean, what we're going through is not an excuse for any type of behavior. And I did act out of character. I mean, I got drunk and said some shit I shouldn't have said. But I stand by everything I said. Okay.

what you don't get to say i said things i shouldn't have said i should i should i should have said it when i was in the right the right my like right headspace okay and i i could have my delivery definitely could have been different could have been different but i'm good with what i said well that's fair enough because at the end of the day i like y'all better apart than i like you together

And I think that goes for everybody in our family. Because I said that from the beginning and I do not care what anybody says. You said that you didn't think that the intentions were right. I didn't think the intentions were right. But also too, I did give her a chance at some point throughout the process. I wouldn't say that. That is such a lie. At the very beginning, I tried to give her a chance and then she like blew me off. So I just said, screw this. I don't need another friend. I got all the ones I need. But

The moment... I know. She yelled at me on the phone, I was done. I was like, no, this is not happening. I don't know who you think you're dealing with, but you got the wrong person today. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. But I mean... I was not... I just... But... Hey, things happen. I don't think she's a bad person. No, I don't think she's a bad person at all. But...

Definitely the way she and her mother handled things were there was no respect and

and it was you can't use the word respect because there were a lot of moments where you didn't have respect that's true for them as well yeah but there's a lot of moments i did yeah 100 yeah no i get that you definitely did i bent over backwards for that entire family you chose that family over your own i never did that yes it chase i did not do that you made them y'all think that but just because

Like whenever you get into a relationship, you're supposed to get to know the other person's family. You're supposed to spend time with them. Yeah, but you don't choose holidays with their family every year. I didn't choose holidays with them. Savannah, I spent the holidays with my family and then I went down there. Call it out. There were...

Hairball? There were times where you chose them over your own family. That's not true. That's just not true. And I would never choose anybody over my family. I wouldn't. But I can tell you right now, there won't ever be another one that I... There's even going to be that question. Well, I... But it sucked because I was really in love with her. I really was. And it really did...

Like it screwed me up. Oh, I know. Trust me. I know we've all had to be around you. Yeah. So, but I mean, like I, the only thing I can do is just thank God for bringing me through it. And I've learned a lot of valuable lessons. So what would you say now? Like when you do go to date somebody, what are you going to look for and not look for? I mean, I'm just looking for a good person, somebody that's loyal, that has good intentions, that's

that has the things that I want, which would just be a good person. You know, like it's not that it's not that hard not to be shitty. You need more than just a good person. Well, I mean, I think that somebody that aligns more with my life and can relate to things that I've gone through and I'm going through and what we've been going through our entire life. Well, yeah, I think

Which some people may say it's like not healthy, but I want someone who's gone through shit. Well, everybody's gone through shit. Just people lie about not going through it. Yeah, but some people though have lived this like fairy tale cookie cutter lifestyle that they really haven't gone through. Anything. Like major hardship. Yeah. And I want somebody who's like gone through it. Somebody that just knows what it feels like and can relate to it.

My mess of a life. Yeah. I mean, as far as Emmy goes, she's going through something that's terrible right now. Oh, 100%. And honestly, if they needed me, I would be there for them today. Yeah. Would I ever get back with her? Not a chance in hell.

Yeah. That would never happen because I've seen too much. I've seen true colors. Yeah. I've seen you can sit here and tell me something all day long. But when your actions completely contradict your words, then I would be a dumbass just to sit there and and take you for the words. One hundred percent. So but I mean, if they needed me, I'd be there for them. But if I don't have to be in a room with them, I'm not going to.

I love that and I appreciate that because I do. My heart goes out for her and her family and everything that they're going through. 100%. But she still did some dirty shit. And then there's that. But I think now like you're on the up and up. Yeah. We're moving on. Moving on. We're moving on. We are moving on. Life is looking up. Yeah. So, okay. So you're good. I'm good. I'm dating. You're dating.

I'm dating. Oh. I've been on a date. Oh, have you? I have, yeah. And? It was great. I had a great time. What'd you do? We went to a concert. Went to Morgan's concert. I went too. Didn't even say for the whole concert.

- I cannot. - But we had a good time. - I know, that's the fun part about where we're at right now. It's like, we can date, we can get to know people, we can... - And if it doesn't work, that's okay. - Yeah, if it doesn't work, that's okay. But also too, I think after me ending my engagement and dating people, like now more than ever, I know exactly what I want and what I don't want. - Yeah, for sure. - Like that's just...

I definitely know what I want. I definitely know what I don't want. I'll put it like that. I know exactly what I do not want. See, me too. And I can tell you another thing. I ain't never putting a girl on again. Explain that. In our life. Yep.

if it go if a relationship we decide to take it public they build a following yeah i'm not doing i'm not doing build a hoe anymore no i'm done with that i'm done with that i'm done putting them on they're done making money off of my last name so anybody else that's potentially thinking that they're gonna come and hit a lick it ain't happening

- That's so true though. It's so crazy that anybody we have publicly dated has like gained, I'm not sitting here saying we're like these huge celebrities, not at all. - But we're big enough. We're big enough to put people on where they leave with a paycheck. - That's the thing though, is like these people that we date, we're the dumb asses that put them all over our social media. They get hundreds of thousands of followers and then they're making like thousands of dollars a month. - Yeah.

Like it's crazy. And then don't want to give you credit. That's true. It's like, oh, I built this myself. No, you did not build this yourself. Yeah, you built it yourself. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

I have said the next person that I date is going to be very established, very normal. Everything's going to be normal about them except their bank account. Oh, what? It's not even about that. It's just some, like, I want someone normal that doesn't want to be in the spotlight.

But that's not going to happen because we're in the spotlight. But like, true. Oh. Yeah, it's hard. Anybody that I date these days has kids too. Savannah, what the fuck? Why? Why are you trying to sign up for somebody else's problem? You're inviting crazy that you didn't create into your life. That is not true. I'm not going to say I'm against it, but I would have a sugar mama. So, alright.

and basically say the same thing. - No, I'm not coming at you. Do whatever makes you happy. - Yeah, see, I- - I would have a sugar mama though. Life's too hard. This shit's too damn hard. - That's the thing though. - I'll be somebody's little pool boy. I will. - I would pay to see that. All right, all applications are open. - I hope someone does pay to see it. - Applications are open. Chase is looking for a sugar mama. Come on. - Bring it on.

- And I'm not cheap either though. I'm just letting you know. - Okay, not cheap, got it. See, and that's the thing is like, I want someone that's like financially well off just because I'm successful in my own right. So I don't want someone to be intimidated by what I do. - Well, if they're intimidated by what you do, then they're not a man, they're a little boy. - Yes, that is very accurate. - Let me tell you something, I have dated some broke chicks.

And there ain't nothing worse than somebody broke sitting there screaming and bitching. I'm just calling it like it is. It's just as easy to find one with money than it is to find a broke one. Oh, my God. What happened to they just have to be a good person? Well, I want them to be a good person. See, it's every time I get around you that you bring out that toxic shit in me. Bring out the toxic. Yeah. Got it. No, I'm telling you, I'm in such a place right now. I'm thriving.

I don't even want to know what the hell you've been doing or what that means. Arriving. You learn. You learn. We'll have to wait for TV for this one. Why? You're the one getting paid here, not me. I'll out it when I start filming. You can't do that. I'm unloading my shit. You need to unload yours. Hold on. You don't need to be doing all that. Hold on. Samantha, you're in your prime. Wait, what? I got it. I got it. I got it. Hang on. I don't know what to say. Okay.

You know what? It's funny though, because you know what I told dad whenever I was visiting him? We talked about you and about who Savannah needs to end up with. I said, Savannah wants somebody that... Savannah wants a billionaire with a criminal mindset. I want what? You want a billionaire that has a criminal mindset. No, I don't. Yeah, you like that grit. No, I just like people who have gone through some shit. Hey, I'm Savannah. I want all your baggage. Anybody that's got baggage, hit me up.

I want less baggage. I'd rather have less baggage. Because that's going to be fun to deal with. It's just, I like a challenge. There's a difference between a challenge and an execution. We're moving on. We're moving on. Like I said, we'll wait for TV for that. So you did just hit on though. You went and visited dad. How was that?

It was pretty rough, honestly. All of the guards all of a sudden have had a shift in their mood, their attitude, the way that they're treating people. And I'm sure it's because we're... Well, we know why. It's because we're outing everything that's going on there. And one thing I do want to address, though, is there have been some articles that have come out that just like...

oh the chrisley kids want to complain that their parents aren't in good conditions and first off it's not only for them it's for everybody in there exactly it's for everyone in there and the amount of people that we have had to come up to us and say thank you so much for speaking out yeah we don't have a voice but you guys do please keep doing it so that's why we do what we do but

But I find it really interesting that now the amount of politicians that are now taking interest in everything that's going on is absolutely insane. So last night there was so there was two different articles that I found last night. And when it comes to the conditions, there was an article that came out that said, you

Extreme heat is killing people in prison. What's being done about it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It says in states across the South and Southwest, the summer has brought shocking headlines of prison cells reaching as high as 115 degrees. Children being kept in stifling hot solitary confinement cells for nearly 24 hours a day and incarcerated people reported being quarantined

cooked alive. A heat dome last week brought punishing temperatures across the Midwest, Central and Southern US resulting in triple digits, triple digit highs in many areas. And it says, as brutal heat waves continue to engulf large sections of the country, hundreds of thousands of prisoners are being forced to endure deadly temperatures inside heat retaining steel or concrete facilities.

that offer little if any access to air conditioning or circulation with these conditions likely to worsen due to climate change advocates are fighting to provide relief to incarcerated people who are now among the earliest and most vulnerable victims of this crisis yeah well when i got in my car it was 111. yeah down there and like normally in visitation like you're in a room

with all the other families. And so like you have conversations with other people. - Oh, for sure. - Like there's kids there and of course everybody is well aware of who we are. So they wanna come up, say hello and all that, which we're totally cool with. We embrace it. And there's like a few kids that just run up to me and just give me a hug. And when we run up to dad and give him a hug, this has been fine.

For the entire time that... Oh, for the eight months they've been there. It's been totally fine. Now, any... Like, when I was in visitation, anytime anybody came up to us, they were reprimanded and they were threat... The officers were threatening to suspend their visits and make them leave if they came and talked to us again. Yeah. Which is absolutely absurd. And then also, like, the vending machines are not working. And these people...

A lot of these people don't have the means to be wasting any money. No. Like they're doing all they can do to get in the car and drive to go see their loved one. The last thing that they need is to get in there and try to buy a snack or buy a drink. And then the machine takes their money, doesn't give it to them. And then the guard's response to me was, or to the, it wasn't even to me, it was to a woman there. She was like, it took my money. He said, if you've got a problem with my vending machines, call the number, which you can't bring your phone in there.

So how are we supposed to call the number? Yeah. Shithead? Like, no. And then this is a federal facility. It's a smoke-free facility. You're not supposed to be smoking. No one is supposed to be smoking. Oh, yeah. They all sit outside and smoke all the time. And this one specific officer...

Now, if these are such hardened criminals that need to be watched 24-7, then he shouldn't be getting up and leaving his post unattended with nobody there and going outside and chain smoking cigarettes while children are walking inside. Yeah, no. And it clearly says no smoking. Well, I think that's the tough part is no one is holding these correction officers accountable and responsible.

that's where someone has to step in. And what's sad is they get a slap on the wrist. They get, you know, but they get no punishment for anything. Well, there was a sexual assault and they moved the inmate to another facility, but yet the guard was able to stay there. How does that make sense? And then, well, they're to their protocol. They remove the,

but they allow the guard to stay while they do the internal investigation. - Yeah, which is bullshit. - And to me, that is an issue. There are so many flaws in the system. - Remove the guard. - Yeah. - Why are you gonna move the inmate twice? He's already being punished by being there. - But the whole point is they're putting more people in danger by allowing the guard to stay there. But that goes to show that there are flaws in the system

the BOP and their handbook, how it's being run. That's an issue. And I mean this information. So I have a letter that was mailed to me from the,

chairman of the board of the Black Republican Caucus of Florida. And it goes in deep. I mean, on all of the issues. And we will place this on ChrisleyDefense.com. But I'm not going to read the whole thing. But this just goes into speaking about this male. He is

I don't even know how to explain his story other than to say that it's filled with racism. It's filled with retaliation. It is heartbreaking. I mean, it has violated his constitutional rights.

how he has been treated at this facility in Pensacola. FPC Pensacola is a federal facility and there are numerous laws that are being broken. You have a woman who has violated multiple laws when it comes to mail and sex.

There is definitely going to be an investigation into that because you cannot mess with someone else's mail. It's a felony. Yes, it's a felony offense. And so there's that. You have...

What's going to be very interesting to these CARES Act submissions. You have these counselors that should have submitted all these men for CARES Act when they had asked to be submitted and they just chose not to. And did it intentionally. Did it intentionally. And one of them said her exact words were, or allegedly, I will say a woman allegedly said that

She was no longer going to be submitting black men for the CARES Act because they have a propensity for violence. Russ has huge savings on looks that are 100% you. So you can find all the styles that match your vibe, from stylish skorts to jersey tees. The trendiest looks of the season will have you saying, it's a yes for me.

And I was shocked when this information was given to me. And back to the visitation, there's this family and we absolutely adore them. And I think his mother is going to come on your podcast. Yeah, she's going to come on my podcast. And he's an African-American child and he loves us and we love him. And every time he sees me, he runs and jumps in my arms and says,

They threatened to suspend his visit with his dad. And he's three years old. Yeah. But then you have white kids that are running up playing with each other that have nothing to do with us.

And they don't bother them. No. So like the racism is on a whole different level. Well, even the fact that the amount of African-American men that they place to work outside in 115 degree weather and say, keep working until you finish. I'm not good with that. No. But part of this letter that I really do want to read is.

This man says, coming to federal prison camp Pensacola, I was under the impression that I'd be met with a case manager who was caring and truly concerned about helping folks reintegrate into society. But then I met Janet Genelat.

The complete opposite. This case manager is one who has gone to great lengths to keep rehabilitated folks in prison longer. It's baffling and it makes zero sense. This case manager refused to submit 27 individuals that are known of for home confinement under the CARES Act. How ironic that the majority of these 27 men are of color.

Which is absolutely ridiculous. That's your job. Yep. And he continues to say how the same case manager colluded with the CMC and executive staff via email to make it a point to not submit me. However, while making it a point to racially disparage me as if that wasn't bad enough.

steal and confiscate my mail without order or reason for order, all because I chose to exercise my right of commencing administrative remedy and informing the authorities of such unlawful behavior as a result at

unlawful behavior. As a result of such, I authored a whistleblower report based upon the testimony of staff at the camp who truly do stand for righteousness. I sent the report to President Biden, Senate, and House Judiciary Committee, multiple members of Congress, United States Postal Inspection Services, Office of Special Counsel, Office of Inspector General, and BOP leadership.

Why? To ensure that executive staff at FPC Pensacola didn't get away with what they're attempting to do right now. Cover it up.

Since the release of this report, I was fired from the warden's office for informing the warden of this corruption. My company, Clutch Strategies, even disseminated a press release highlighting the multiple acts of egregious conduct that perpetuate a widely accepted culture of unethical and illegal behavior. And one part that is highlighted in this that is just absolutely insane is

The ongoing derelict of duty has persisted for so long that it's truly the normal way of operation at FPC Pensacola. So much so that rather than find ways to eradicate the ongoing problems that plague the institution, problems like asbestos, black mold,

resin in the water, racial discrimination, mail theft, mail tampering, commissary theft, depleted food service budgets, and a lack of resources to adequately feed inmates. No air conditioning in dorms for months, fire infestations, inmates being forced to work in slave labor conditions without receiving prevailing wages, and worst of all, inmate sexual assault.

yep absolutely insane and when it comes to the sexual assault he says executive staff finds cunning ways to double down in their cesspool of unscrupulous dealings assuming that no one will ever sound the alarm to ensure accountability commences case in point

Of all the violations of BOP policy and federal law, the worst of it all is executive staff's morally inept pursuit to cover up the sexual assault allegation brought to light by a member of the inmate community who just happens to be a former associate of Burisma Holdings.

Because of this person's connection to Hunter Biden, executive staff would rather brush the allegation under the rug to prevent press and allow a predator on staff to remain than to simply do the right thing and govern with righteousness. Clearly, these violations aren't political issues. They're human rights issues. And that's one thing that I really want to point out is that

It's no left or right issue at this point. This is a human rights issue. It's right and wrong. And I... It gives me goosebumps reading this because you have... The sexual assault allegations are just... Leave me so angry because why are we putting people in a position of power to harm those who have no power? And...

In October of 2022, Colette Peters, who's the director of the BOP, publicly pledged to hold accountable any employees who sexually assaulted inmates, reform archaic hiring practices, and usher in new transparency to an agency that has long been a haven of secrecy and cover-ups.

And so my thing is, is right now, right now is my invitation to

the director of the BOP, Colette Peters, to sit down on my podcast and to let's have tough conversations and let's figure out how we make a difference and how we help you with the information that we've been given. And that continues to roll in every single day. Because I am currently sitting on damning recordings.

that expose abuse and that name individuals that have committed these acts. And it's not okay. It's not okay what's happening to these men and women. And we need someone to hold their feet to the fire. And I'm going to continue to speak out about it because just yesterday, there was an article that was released and it was

Let's see, 'cause I wanna read it word for word. Just to show you, first off, this hasn't been on the news, shocker, because no one wants to bring accountability or no one wants to draw awareness to the corrupt things that are happening. But there was an article that was released in the Lexington newspaper

And it says, former federal prison officer in Lexington pleads guilty to sexually abusing an inmate. A former senior officer at a federal prison in Lexington, which is where mom is at,

has pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of an inmate. Gregory Barrett, who was an officer at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, knowingly engaged in a sexual act with an inmate identified in court documents as BB, records show. The incidents occurred multiple times between June and July of 2022, according to Barrett's plea agreement.

Barrett pleaded guilty Friday, court records show. The defendant knew, based on his training and experience, that any sexual contact between FMC staff and inmates was strictly forbidden and was a federal crime, Barrett's plea agreement says. In October of 2022, Barrett threatened and intimidated another inmate, identified as CM, who was a witness to the crimes, according to the court documents.

Barrett told CM to keep her mouth shut and suggest retaliation if CM were to speak to other prison officials, according to court documents. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed Tuesday that Barrett is no longer employed at the facility. FMC Lexington officials weren't able to immediately comment on Tuesday. Now,

- That's just the tip of the iceberg. - Is the tip of the iceberg. And that is where my mother is currently sitting. So what I won't do is keep quiet about it. That's one thing I will not do because she's not going to be the next victim. - No. - And this is not okay. And I want to know what Colette Peters is going to do to bring awareness to this, to fix the problem. - And like you said in that, they talk about the food and all of that.

Dad, in my last visit, he just told me that there was like over 60 people that were not able to eat because they ran out of food. But they know that one of the guards steals the food, steals it in large quantities. And that's why he parks food.

at a different at a different spot like on the facility than the other people park because it's a it's a shorter walk for him to to take the stuff that he's stealing and putting it in his car it is and honestly the bop is under a lot of scrutiny right now and it's only going to get worse because men and women are dying in their care the conditions are inhumane the

treatment is inhumane. The abuse is running rampant throughout the system. And so this is a human rights issue. And we are working with a team of lawyers to really hit this head on. And that's all that we're going to say about that. But if there are any of my followers or listeners of this podcast that have dealt with these same things, please go to ChrisleyDefense.com and

Send us an email. There's a place where you can put in all your information and send us an email because we want to add you to what we're doing. We want you to be a part of what we're doing because it's going to be huge. And I just believe that we can make change. And I believe that God has spoken to us and

With what we've gone through, now it's our job to help other people that are going through it. We're not going to stop. No, I'm just not. I will make as many enemies as I have to in order to get to the bottom of it because it's not a Democrat or Republican issue at this point. It's a humanity issue and...

had Governor Phil Murphy on my podcast, who is a Democrat. We had a great conversation. I'm going to be having Laura Trump on my podcast in the next month or two, which is going to be huge because I want this podcast to be a place for tough conversations and growth and communication and change, really. So I hope and pray that Colette Peters,

takes me up on this offer to sit down and let's go through everything that I've been given, everything that's been sent to me, environmental reports. Yeah. Show lead and water and lead-based paint and black mold and how these facilities are trying to cover up

And at FPC Pensacola, the black mold was seeping through the walls and they went in and painted over it with white paint. And a week and a half later, it was already coming through again. You would think they'd go in there and fix it, right? No, they just paint over it. They went back in and instead of painting over it with white paint, they went in and painted over it with gray paint.

It's insane. But you know what? I will say... And that was recent. That was within the last two weeks. I'll say though, I am blessed. I'm thanking God for the people that work in that facility that have come to...

to give information. - 100%. - Because there are good people. - They're not all bad. - No, they're not. There are good people that truly do care about these men and women that don't agree with the corruption that's taking place, that want to come forward, but they're fearful of coming forward because of the retaliation that could happen with them. - 100%. - And so I just think

this now is our time to step up and like I said I'll be posting this letter on the Chrisley Defense website we'll also be working on sending out you know once or twice a month updates on everything that's going on with the case everything with mom and dad because things are moving so now we're just sitting waiting and hoping for positive news to come but in the meantime we're

We just pray. We pray. We're patient. And... And we gonna give them hell. That is for sure. That's... Hey, I think that's what I was born to do. It runs in the DNA. It runs in the DNA. That's for sure. But with that being said, we've spoken about... We've hit all the updates. Yeah. All the updates. And two, I'm going to LA to film a show. Yeah.

Hush, hush, no laughing. Can't say anything. Also, what I'm so excited about, because now I can talk about it, is Special Forces.

Special forces. I can't wait to see that shit. Savannah couldn't do it. Savannah threw up the whole time. Okay. We'll put a video for you guys to see the promo. You'll see me puking, rappelling down a dam. It was a blast. It was so much fun. Savannah, that was not fun. Well, I mean, it wasn't fun, but like it was a cool life experience. Okay. I'm going to let you have that one. And the amount, it airs September 25th on Fox. And I'm so...

So excited. The amount of people that I met, just the cool people. I mean... Can you talk about it? Yeah, I can talk about it. Who was the worst person to be around? Talk that shit, Savannah. I'm going to say worst person to be around. I feel like everyone goes through their own life experiences and whatever. Who's the person you would not want to ever be in a room with again? Tom Sandoval. Sandoval? Really? He just...

Honestly, I'd take that back. He just is a little, he's just odd. No shit. Look at all the stuff. Yeah. Like he's just in the way that he rationalizes things and the way the whole thing was weird. And too, it's like he would get up in the middle of the night and like put on a headlamp and walk around. And finally I just looked at him and I was like, lay it the hell down.

Like stop playing fucking arts and crafts over there. Lay it down. And like everyone started dying laughing. And then I'm sitting there and like I'm sleeping next to seven foot tall Robert Ori.

And he and I would like lay there at night and just like talk. And he was the coolest human being, like one of the greatest people I think I've ever met. Just his spirit was so sweet. And he was there because his dad was, you know, had a battle with dementia and all he did was watch TV and

And he wanted his dad to see him on TV one last time before he died. And unfortunately, he passed away when Robert was on his flight back home. Yeah. Yeah.

And it was just my heart broke for him. But we had such deep conversation at night and to hear the struggles that he's gone through and talk about his career and hear stories about he and Kobe. And like it was such a cool experience. And then you had Brian Austin Green, which he was so cool. He is just like the most tender hearted, sweetest guy.

guy and his son i want to know the shit his his kid's mom is megan fox oh yes so that's brian austin green okay and then we had angela johnson did you ask him if he thinks her name to mgk no i did not you've got black china who goes by angela now and she was nice to me but she's a tough personality

Other people that were really interesting. Jojo Siwa. Mm hmm. Freaking just a great human being. Like her energy made the show so much fun. And then you had Kelly Rizzo, who's Bob Saget's wife. And her being there, I was like so proud of her. Yeah, it was tough. And she some of the task it's.

She was just, I think she has this like fear of death because of what happened to him. And just to watch her like overcome it was such like a cool emotional experience. Well, I want to run it back. Let's touch on where you're at with as far as relationships go. Oh, I'm not touching on that. Why? I had to touch on mine. Yeah, because I'm exploiting you for my own personal gain. I, uh,

I didn't, I don't want to come across like I'm shitting on Emmy. Cause I'm not like, I do wish her nothing but the best, but there was some shitty shit that went down. There was some shitty shit that went down, but it's fine. It's fine. We're good. We're moving on. We're happy. We'll continue to talk about your relationships and exploit them because it does well. Um,

Oh, so that's why. Oh yeah, 100%. I'm getting a back end then. 100%, that's exactly why. Yeah. But special forces. I'm sure I'll have some new stories for you next week or two.
