- Poop, poop! - I think he's stopped up.
- Might need a laxative the next time.
- Nanny.
- Previously on "Chrisley Knows Best"...
What do you think? - There's no walls.
What's Mama think about it so far?
- Well, I mean, she hasn't seen it yet.
[plucky upbeat music]
You like it, don't you? - No, Todd, you've gutted it.
- Brother, you in the doghouse.
- Where's your mama?
- Tell him I think he's got enough to keep him busy.
He needs to get over there and get that house finished.
- You've got enough to keep you busy.
You need to go over there and get that house finished.
- She said you've got enough to keep you busy--
- I heard. - You lied to me, Todd.
I love you, but right now I don't like you.

[bright classical music]
* *
- I hate when my skin gets ashy in this weather.
- That ever happen to you, Nanny?
- Oh, no. You know why?
I learned this trick from this lady in Vegas.
She called it a pro-bath. - A what?
- A pro-bath.
You just wash the important places.
You just go the top to the tail.
- Oh! - Nanny.
- And then you put you some lotion on like that,
and then you're ready to go back to the streets.
- I cannot with you.
Look what the cat drug in. - Oh, gosh.
- Hey.
- Todd, you came in with not even a smile on your face.
What you depressed about?
- I think it's cause Mama is pissed off.
- I'm living in a delusional world,
thinking I'm moving in a house in a few weeks.
- Let's just say that Julie did not agree
with the extent of my remodeling.
- I'm curious how you plan to get out of this one
and make things up to Mama.
- Son, listen, I have always been a man with a plan,
and I will come up with exactly what I need to do
to fix this.
- Well, you better get your plan in action soon,
or the next house you're remodeling
will be the one you live in alone.
- I mean, this is new to me
because I've never had someone not like me.
- [laughs]
- What? - I can name a few.
- [laughs]
- Well, I don't care because I'm a man on a mission.
I will figure out a way for Julie to not be mad at me.
- Well, bless your heart.
[laughter]
* *
- Savannah, put fruit in that one.
When I go away this weekend, I just don't want 'em
eating junk all weekend long.
So, when Chloe wants a snack,
you either give her the fruit, the veggies--
- Okay, can't you have Dad handle this?
- Okay, well, first of all, I need you to handle that knife
over there and quit talking with your hands
'cause you're making me nervous.
And, listen, I'm not even talking to your dad right now.
I mean, he left us without a roof over our heads.
- Oh, trust me, I know.
You do not have to remind me,
'cause I've got y'all living with me now--
I mean, all of y'all.
That's a lot of people under this roof.
- Well...
- Oh, thank God. - Hi.
- Finally. - There's your groceries.
- Thank you. That's the last of my stuff.
- Chase, you got to take care of the kids this weekend.
- I'm not taking care of any kids.
- Yeah, Mama just told me you had to.
- If I didn't make 'em, I'm not taking 'em.
- See, that's what I said.
- Okay, y'all, this is my birthday weekend.
I'm just looking forward to some rest, some relaxation.
Lea and Allison have rented this house.
- Ugh, Allison. - It's out in the country.
I got to be honest, this isn't exactly
the way that I thought I would be kicking off
the last year of my 40s, but I'm not gonna let this
ruin my birthday.
I'm gonna leave all this drama here,
and I'm going to go with Lea and Allison
and focus on me. - Good.
Leave Dad and the renovation to me, 'cause I'll handle it.
- Julie, now, let me tell you something.
50's not all that bad.
Most of your children are grown, and they're gone.
Your husband, most of the time, has already been trained,
so you can go gamble
and do anything you want to at any time.
- Okay, Nanny. - Have you met her husband?
- Yeah. - He was my son.
Now, I know he's a pain, but he's our pain.
[laughter]
* *
[power tools whirring]
* *
- This room right here, all we have to do--
this is the only room that I left.
Son, are you paying attention?
- Yeah, I'm cold.
- You took the heater from the guys
that are here working.
- Well, they obviously weren't too damn cold,
or they wouldn't have let it out of their sight.
- [sighs] - Oh, I got it.
- Listen, this room right here is not gonna take long at all.
You need to take it back-- [banging]
- What is that?
[power tools rumbling]
- Hey, Todd. How are you? - Good. Looks good.
That staircase is coming down now, baby.
[banging and whirring continue] That's progress.
- This is the exact opposite of progress.
- What are you talking about?
- 'Cause you're tearing more stuff out.
Stuff needs to be going back in, not coming out.
What are you doing?
- Son-- - What are you doing?
- Son, don't get upset over that.
It's not that big-- - I'm not upset.
I'm worried. I am worried for your safety.
- Son, you don't need to worry. I know what I'm doing.
The stairs were too steep, and I needed it to flow
like it was melting into a puddle.
It had an '80s screwed-up staircase.
Now I've given it a beautiful 2022 silhouette.
- Mom's gonna want to go upstairs at some point,
and last time I checked, she can't just levitate,
or she'll be able to levitate with how mad she's gonna get.
- She will be able to go upstairs
on a much prettier staircase.
Right, Ben? - That's exactly right.
* *
- There we go. So now Mama has a ladder.
That makes it all better. - Oh, God.
* *
- Look how pretty this is, y'all.
- This is gonna be a great weekend.
- Look, I know. - It's so peaceful out here.
- It's mighty quiet.
- Well, that's what I've been striving for--
peace and quiet. - It's gonna be great.
- Not two things that I have in my life very often.
- Do y'all even remember what that is?
- Oh. - No.
- Peace and quiet?
- No, but we gonna figure it out.
- Hello, ladies. Welcome.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Come make yourself comfortable,
and I'll take care of your bags.
- Oh, wow. - All right, sounds good.
- Great, thank you so much. - Okay, thank you.
- All right, let's do this. - Let's do this.
- [gasps] Look, y'all.
- Oh, how fun. - This is so pretty.
- It is adorable.
- I love it. - Oh, my gosh, y'all, look.
- This is so cute.
- Oh, I can see myself lounging on that sofa.
- I think so.
- Thank y'all so much for doing this.
This is great.
I didn't realize, but there's a lot of emotion
to turning 49.
I mean, it's the last year of your 40s,
you're looking 50 dead in the eye.
- Mama, I feel you.
I mean, I feel the same way about 25.
- Great, now I feel ancient.
- Mama, you're not even 50 yet.
You don't look a day over-- - Hold up.
Thank you, Chase.
* *
- Look-it here. - Oh, my gosh.
What is this? - What do we have here?
- Champagne, flowers.
So, "Hope you have an amazing trip.
"Love you always. You are one lucky girl.
Love, Todd." - Aw, "lucky girl."
That's sweet.
- What, you think Todd's sweet? - Well, that note's sweet.
- Julie, you deserve this and then some.
I mean, you have put up with enough
in this remodel situation. - You said it, sister.
There's not enough champagne in this world
to make me forget about this last week.
- There we go. So now Mama has a ladder.
That makes it all better. - Oh, God.
- Well, you should drink more champagne.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Cheers to Julie's birthday! - To Julie's birthday!
[bright classical music]
- Casey, where are we going? - We're heading this way.
- [smooches] Let's go.
- Julie, you got to, like, make that kiss noise
and tell him to go.
- [clicks tongue] - Oh!
- Aah! - [laughs] Come on, girl.
- Lea, you got the bust for this.
I mean, she's acting like she just bounces around
all the time.
- Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
- Ooh! - Aah!
- Aah!
[laughter]
- Aah! - Whoo, doggie!
- Hey, y'all are doing a great job.
- We are?
- All right, ladies, let's take a little break
and let the horses rest.
- What about us? - Aah!
[laughs] - Oh, of course.
- Whoo! - Whoo!
- You did it. - Yes.
- Oh, my one leg's in. - Look at it out here.
It's gorgeous. - It is so pretty.
[phone chimes] - Oh, Lord.
Todd's gonna text somebody 50 times.
- Wait, wait, wait, I thought we were leaving our phones.
- You tell him we don't want to hear from him.
That's the whole reason we're out here
in the middle of nowhere is so we don't have to talk to him.
- He's actually being really sweet, though.
- Give it to me. - Listen, as much as he--
- Girl, give me your phone.
- As much as he drives me crazy,
I do miss his aggravating self.
- You can text him later, but for now...
[pats hip] I got it.
- Well, it is hard
because we've been flipping houses
since the beginning of our marriage.
It was an adventure,
but now I want my adventures to be different.
You know, I didn't realize
I was still gonna have to be packing all of our stuff up
and having to put it down somewhere else.
- Julie, you got to get in that mindset of,
this decade's got to be about you some, too.
- I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna give it my all. - Well, we're gonna make you.
- That's right.
- Let's go back, 'cause we have a relaxing evening planned.
- I know. I'm excited.
- Gonna have this wonderful, special dinner
for your birthday. - Yeah, it's getting delivered.
You won't have to lift a finger.
We're just gonna hang out, lounge around in PJs.
Tomorrow we've got massages-- compliments of Todd.
- He's trying hard, but we'll take it.
We'll take it.
- All about you.
- Exactly. - I love it.
I'm super excited about this,
'cause this is the last birthday I'm celebrating.
- No, it's not.
[laughter]
* *
[power tools whirring]
- Son, do you even understand the plans?
- Dad, I've been around and seen enough plans.
I know exactly where this-- - Okay.
- Walk through here into the kitchen,
scullery here... - Yes.
- Island, wet bar.
- And the vanity goes here. This is a shower.
That's the walk-in closet. - But this is upstairs.
We can't even get up there. - They can get up there.
- But you can't. - Chase, shut up.
- Okay, fine. - Hey.
- And there is. There's the queen.
- Hey, darling.
- Listen, I know that the house
is not gonna be finished by the end of the weekend,
but he has to show my mom some progress,
or she's gonna lose it.
- Relax, Chase. I'll take it from here.
- It's all yours, Nanny.
Now, I understand why Julie's mad.
If you did this to me, I'd be madder than hell,
and I'd kick him to the curb.
- Mama, I'm not gonna argue with you and Chase.
Neither one of y'all have ever built a house.
- Well, now, you are an expert, but you're not focused.
- Mama, I'm focused on every aspect of this house.
- But you need to stay focused on one thing,
not just, like a grasshopper, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump,
like that-- you don't need to do that.
You remember when you first started out doing this?
- Yes, I do. [banging]
- You didn't have all these people working for you.
So, if you went to do something,
you got it done one thing at a time.
- One thing at a time. Just show progress.
- Todd, I hate to point out the obvious,
but, you know, maybe some walls in here would help.
- [laughs] - You're right.
So I'll get some walls in here.
I'll get the insulation, the drywall in,
so it'll be progress for her.
- Well, now, if you got that done,
that would make her happy.
Just speed it up, grasshopper. [Faye and Chase laugh]
* *
- Todd left you another note. - Oh.
- "Hope you are relaxing as much as I am working."
- How nice is that?
He sent out
these chocolate-covered strawberries...
- Very sweet. - With this little note.
- Let me have some more of those.
- Yeah, those are really, really good.
- Look at that. That one looks really good.
Todd definitely gets an A for effort.
- Well, don't y'all eat too much of this, now,
'cause we've got that dinner coming inside.
- Come on. - Let's do it.
* *
- Oh. - Oh.
I wonder if that's, like, heated
Like, maybe they've kept a top on it
to keep it heated-- let's see.
- Oh. - What is that?
What is this for? - That's basil.
- Why do we need that?
- Allison, this isn't cooked. What did you order?
- I don't know. - Girl, we've got to cook this.
- No, we don't. - Yes.
I mean, that's, like, pepper.
That's what you put on your pizza.
- Those are chili flakes. - Oops.
- What did you do?
- Well, I mean, maybe I just bought the ingredient box.
- Allison. - I did not mean to.
Why would I ever do this? I don't cook.
- Okay, hold up, hold up. Y'all have so many talents.
- We do.
- But cooking is not one of them.
- Not typically.
- So I think I need to take this over.
- Listen, we're not great at it,
but we can do this, Lea. - We can do it.
We just need a pot.
- Now, where do people put pots?
- I don't know.
- Listen, the gesture is beyond.
- Go sit down. - No, no.
- We got this. - Really, listen, I don't mind.
- Nope, go, go, sit right there.
- All right. - I got this. I got this.
I thought we were making the sauce in that.
- I don't know what we're making.
- Look, right here, rigatoni. Which one's rigatoni?
These are-- - I think that's the round one.
That's not that.
- I really think these are tortilla chips.
- No, that's-- The penne's the round one.
- [crunching]
Nope, pasta. - [laughing] Oh, my God.
You know, this is a total fail, but good thing for them,
cooking is one of my favorite things to do,
so I've got to step in and save this.
- Well, Mama, just like Dad with the house,
you've got to give them points for trying.
- I do. I give 'em all the points in the world.
I just don't trust them within five feet of a kitchen.
I am so appreciative that you guys even attempted this,
but why don't y'all go put on something comfortable?
And we will be eating in no time flat, I promise you.
- Well, we can start eating right now.
Here we go. [laughter]
* *
- Don't throw your back out, cupcake.
Son, stop worrying about the dust.
You'll be fine. - All right.
I'm gonna lift it up, and you screw it into the stud.
Give me a hand. - There you go!
- There it is, Todd. - You got it?
- Oh, yeah, I got it.
[drill whirrs]
- That's so loud.
- [bleep] fire and save matches,
he did it. - I did it.
- You know, I took everything
that Chase and Mama said to heart,
so we're working with my contractor
to get some walls up before Julie gets back.
- All it took was a little focus,
some nudging from me and Nanny, and you're finally able
to take things one step at a time.
Do you know what they call that?
both: Progress.
I'm surprised you actually got that.
- Dude, I got to call Nanny. She's got to see this.
- To what? - I'm hanging drywall.
I'm like a builder.
Look, I'm just hanging this.
- Oh, now, I told you when you start
getting the drywall up,
it starts looking like a house.
- All right, now, here's Dad. I have to work.
- Hey, darling. Look at my drywall going in.
- Ooh-whee, hey. - Huh?
- Go back to that man. He looks pretty good.
- Mama, he's young enough to be your grandson.
- Yeah, but he ain't. - [laughs]
- Mama, bye. - [chuckles]
- Son, your mama is going to love me
when she comes in and sees this progress.
- Oh, God. - Look at that.
- I missed my calling.
[bright classical music]
* *
- I mean, Julie, you look like a professional.
- You know, I've done this a time or two.
- Look at her.
- Serious, it's like Sunday dinner
at her house every single night.
- And you know what?
If I say to Madeline,
"What do you want for dinner tonight?"
She'll go, "I don't know. Is Daddy here?"
- [laughs]
- I'm like, "Let's go find him."
- Dinner is served.
- I mean, Julie, take the apron off.
We need you to enjoy this,
even though you had to slave away in the kitchen all day.
- Oh, please, it was my pleasure.
This was not work for me. This is what I love to do.
I love it when there is just a bunch of ingredients,
and I can just let my creative juices flow
and just put together a meal that everybody loves.
- I mean, Julie, what you've done tonight
with just that box of stuff is amazing.
You've got to do more of this. - Well, thank y'all.
You know, it seems like forever
I've always been making what everybody else wants,
and to be able to just do whatever I want to do
and serve it to people who love it,
it's great.
I mean, I feel like I haven't accomplished
near what I had hoped to in my 40s,
so my only hope is that these next ten years,
I'm gonna make sure that I start really taking things
off that bucket list.
I can cook all over the world. Italy, here I come.
- It's time to do some things for yourself.
- Right.
You know, I've spent the last 25 years
doing everything for everyone else,
and I've kind of put myself on the backburner,
but this weekend has given me a chance
to look at what I really want
for this next chapter of my life,
and I think it's my turn to be a little selfish
and do something for me-- something I want to do.
- Can I get everyone a piece? - This is amazing. Y'all...
This whole house renovation has really about driven me crazy,
but I'm finally ready to go home and deal with Todd.
- Really, now? - So we'll see what happens.
- Happy birthday, Julie. We love you.
- We do. - I love y'all more.
- And Lea loves you so much, she's gonna clean up
for you tonight. - Bitch, please.
You're gonna be helping me clean up, too.
[laughter]
* *
- Come on, my beauty. - All right.
- I mean, how great is this that you have a husband
as hot as I am that will open a door for you...
- I know.
- With an umbrella, make sure that you don't get wet.
- Mm-hmm, I know.
* *
Okay, um...
[power tools whirring]
I see you changed the stairs out.
- Well, yes, and look how much smoother the flow is.
- Mm-hmm.
- I mean, you were gone for two days.
- Yes.
- And look what I've got accomplished.
- Okay, so do I have, like, rooms now?
- Do you have rooms?
Honey, let me go show you the rooms.
- Okay. - Come on.
The amount of work that I've been able
to get accomplished here in one weekend
is pretty amazing.
I mean, actually, some might say unbelievable.
You'll notice when you're climbing up...
- Yep. - It's not as steep, is it?
- Right.
- And I'm humble enough
to admit that I couldn't have done this
without you and Mama, so thank you.
- Wow, that felt good. Let me here it one more time.
- Not a chance.
- [laughs]
- Look at this bedroom. - Oh!
- This bedroom is almost finished with the drywall.
Look. - It's an actual room.
[sighs] Does my heart good.
I mean, I can't tell you how good it feels
to actually have walls.
- Listen, I do apologize for going overboard,
but my heart was in the right place.
I just want the house to be perfect,
and I know I got a lot of work still left to do.
- Yes.
- But I've got my eye on the prize.
I'm gonna make it happen.
I'll admit that I got carried away
with the renovations, and I'm sorry about it.
- Well, thank you for that.
I just want to be sitting on a porch
with our family, enjoying life a little bit.
- Oh, my gosh, I have such an amazing idea
about a porch. - Don't even go there.
Listen, I do appreciate everything that you're doing,
and I appreciate the progress that's been made.
I really do.
- Well, I mean, after how hard I've worked this week...
all weekend long,
I'm sure you're trying to figure out
some way to, you know, be nicer to me.
- Well, I was actually just thinking
maybe I should go away more often.
[bright classical music]
- Hey, what are y'all doing in here?
- I'm trying to get this stuff ready for Julie's birthday.
- Nanny, would you like a drink?
- Does the pope [bleep] in the woods?
- The pope? - The pope.
- No, Mama, he doesn't.
- Nanny, the pope does not [bleep] in the woods.
- Do you know? Have you been with him?
- Happy birthday!
all: Happy birthday!
- Oh, my gosh.
I mean, y'all have gone all out.
- Chloe picked out everything.
- It looks so good, Chlo. - She knows what Mama likes.
Don't you? - Yes.
- So, Mama, how was your weekend?
- It was great. We had so much fun.
We had amazing massages.
- Thanks to me. - Yes.
And I actually ended up cooking our dinner--
or my birthday dinner.
- Why? - Hello, look who she was with.
- Well, listen, no, it wasn't for lack of trying,
but I was able to take these amazing ingredients
and put something together that everyone loved,
and it actually inspired me.
So, after this weekend, I have finally decided
that I'm going to do my cookbook.
You know, I've been putting it off for years,
and I'm just gonna dive right in.
- Oh, my God. - I'm proud of you.
- It's about time.
- I am going to come up with some new recipes
even throughout this remodel.
I'm not gonna let it deter me.
So I'm just excited.
- Good for you. Good for you.
You know that I am your biggest fan
when it comes to your cooking,
and I just think that what you have inside you,
you should share with the rest of the world
because I think it'll make their lives better.
- Well, thank you.
- And then you could put
that little part in the book about how supportive I am.
- Oh, gosh.
- Well, I want to propose a toast to your mother.
Julie, you are the glue that holds it all together.
- Aw. - Amen.
- Amen to that. - You're so sweet.
- Happy birthday, Mama. - Happy birthday, darling.
- Happy birthday.
- You know, this has been an amazing birthday,
and the only thing left that I need
is for you to finish the kitchen
so I can actually work on my cookbook.
[laughter]
* *
- Next time on "Chrisley Knows Best"...
- Gray, how was your day?
- He broke up with his girlfriend.
- The best thing to do is shop. - I don't feel like shopping.
- What the hell is wrong with you?
[horn honks]
- What are you doing? - Slow down, asshole.
- Nanny! [siren whoops]
You're getting pulled over. - I ain't never been to jail.
- Yet.
