00:00:06,464 --> 00:00:11,720
Ladies and gentlemen,
my mom, Leanne Morgan!

4
00:00:44,419 --> 00:00:47,589
Thank y'all,
darling Wilmington, North Carolina.

5
00:00:47,672 --> 00:00:49,299
Honey, thank y'all.

6
00:00:53,511 --> 00:00:56,890
And thank y'all for watching
that first Netflix special.

7
00:00:56,973 --> 00:00:59,225
Thank y'all. Thank y'all.

8
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:00,935
That changed my life.

9
00:01:01,019 --> 00:01:04,189
And I have only watched it one time

10
00:01:04,272 --> 00:01:08,193
because, if I watch myself,
I feel like I'm gonna vomit.

11
00:01:08,276 --> 00:01:09,736
And…

12
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:13,364
And I'm ashamed to tell y'all,
when I watched that thing,

13
00:01:13,448 --> 00:01:16,159
I should've been thinking,
"Oh, I should've done that better,"

14
00:01:16,242 --> 00:01:18,870
or, "I should've said that,"
or, "I could've done that."

15
00:01:18,953 --> 00:01:19,788
No.

16
00:01:19,871 --> 00:01:23,124
All I could think of
the whole time I watched that thing

17
00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:25,752
was, "When did my breasts…"

18
00:01:32,383 --> 00:01:36,096
"When did my breasts get so fat?"

19
00:01:40,266 --> 00:01:42,143
And I'm not talking…

20
00:01:42,227 --> 00:01:45,688
You North Carolina boys,
I'm not talking about a cute fat.

21
00:01:47,065 --> 00:01:50,610
I'm talking big old mamaw breast.

22
00:01:57,575 --> 00:02:01,079
And it felt to me like one was going
that way, and one was going that way.

23
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:10,255
And then, y'all, okay, I was in a movie
with Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell.

24
00:02:14,551 --> 00:02:16,010
I know. That was crazy.

25
00:02:16,094 --> 00:02:18,471
That came out of nowhere.
I'll tell you who did that.

26
00:02:18,555 --> 00:02:21,516
That little Reese Witherspoon.
That doll, that smart thing.

27
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:24,686
And she made me her big sister, Gwyneth.

28
00:02:25,186 --> 00:02:26,396
And… and let me tell y'all

29
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:29,732
that Reese Witherspoon
is the size of this glass.

30
00:02:32,861 --> 00:02:36,156
And she stood next to me in that movie,
in that wedding movie,

31
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:38,867
and her little head hit right here.

32
00:02:41,953 --> 00:02:43,621
And when I saw the movie, I thought,

33
00:02:43,705 --> 00:02:46,916
"Oh, her head's the size of this breast."

34
00:02:53,423 --> 00:02:57,093
And we shot that thing in Atlanta.
It took two months, and it was so fun.

35
00:02:57,177 --> 00:03:00,263
And it was like being at summer camp.
It really was.

36
00:03:00,346 --> 00:03:01,723
But I was scared to death.

37
00:03:01,806 --> 00:03:05,310
Before I went down there,
I thought I was gonna get the shingles.

38
00:03:05,393 --> 00:03:08,646
I was scared to death.

39
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:11,733
And I thought,
"Well, I bet I'll lose weight."

40
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:14,819
"I bet I'll lose weight
'cause I'm scared to death,

41
00:03:14,903 --> 00:03:17,697
and I'll probably have
explosive diarrhea every day."

42
00:03:19,824 --> 00:03:23,578
And then I thought, "All those
little people in Hollywood are so tiny."

43
00:03:23,661 --> 00:03:26,039
Everybody's frail and little bitty.

44
00:03:26,122 --> 00:03:28,333
The men have got big heads
and little legs.

45
00:03:28,416 --> 00:03:30,251
I don't know if y'all have noticed that.

46
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:33,713
Think of Tom Cruise.
Big head, little legs.

47
00:03:35,089 --> 00:03:37,508
And I thought,
"Well, I bet they don't feed

48
00:03:37,592 --> 00:03:40,053
those little Hollywood people
when they're doing a movie."

49
00:03:40,136 --> 00:03:44,098
"That'll be good for me.
I can go without food for two months."

50
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:46,017
Well, no, that's not what happens.

51
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:48,478
There's a thing called crafty.

52
00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:52,523
And these darling people
cook all day long on a movie set.

53
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,525
And because it's in a union,

54
00:03:54,609 --> 00:03:59,322
they have to feed you a hot meal
every two-and-a-half to three hours.

55
00:04:01,407 --> 00:04:03,201
Reese didn't eat it.

56
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:05,536
But I did.

57
00:04:07,372 --> 00:04:09,082
Let me tell you this about movies.

58
00:04:09,165 --> 00:04:12,085
You sit there for a long time
during the day with nothing to do

59
00:04:12,168 --> 00:04:14,921
until they call your name,
and you get kind of bored.

60
00:04:15,004 --> 00:04:17,548
And then some little darling man
will yell, "Empanadas,"

61
00:04:17,632 --> 00:04:20,635
and I would just take off running
as hard as I could.

62
00:04:24,889 --> 00:04:27,392
I wore the same shoe
throughout that movie,

63
00:04:27,475 --> 00:04:30,478
and it was a wedge
with a strap going up my ankle.

64
00:04:30,561 --> 00:04:32,605
And by the end of that two months,

65
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:37,026
those darling wardrobe people
had to poke an extra hole in my strap.

66
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:43,283
Because I was retaining fluid so bad.

67
00:04:43,866 --> 00:04:48,162
Look at these darling men here tonight
that live in Wilmington, North Carolina.

68
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:53,543
So cute.

69
00:04:53,626 --> 00:04:56,004
Y'all could be home watching baseball.

70
00:04:56,504 --> 00:05:00,425
But you're gonna have to hear about
my fat breast and my retaining fluid.

71
00:05:03,678 --> 00:05:06,222
If I have time, I'll talk about my reflux.

72
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:10,643
I don't know.
Just hold on, boys. I don't know.

73
00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:14,022
Okay, let me tell y'all

74
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:16,691
that I fell in love
with everybody on that movie set,

75
00:05:16,774 --> 00:05:19,152
but I really got close
to the hair and makeup people,

76
00:05:19,235 --> 00:05:21,863
and they were all local people
from Atlanta.

77
00:05:21,946 --> 00:05:24,907
And every time I went in that trailer,
they would say to me,

78
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:27,493
"Leanne, you have got to let us
be the ones

79
00:05:27,577 --> 00:05:30,705
to take you
to this historical place in Atlanta."

80
00:05:30,788 --> 00:05:33,333
"Everybody's gotta go
at least one time in their life."

81
00:05:33,416 --> 00:05:35,460
"Please let us be the ones to take you."

82
00:05:35,543 --> 00:05:37,420
And I was like, "Okay."

83
00:05:37,503 --> 00:05:39,422
"I love history."

84
00:05:44,594 --> 00:05:46,637
They wanted to take me

85
00:05:47,221 --> 00:05:49,015
to the Clermont Lounge.

86
00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:51,642
Anybody here heard of that?

87
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:58,858
Well, let's tell all these other
innocent and sweet, precious people

88
00:05:58,941 --> 00:06:02,612
what that Sodom and Gomorrah is.

89
00:06:07,492 --> 00:06:10,036
The Clermont Lounge
is in the Clermont Hotel,

90
00:06:10,119 --> 00:06:12,705
and that's, I guess, a historical hotel.

91
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:14,165
And they painted it pink.

92
00:06:14,248 --> 00:06:16,417
And I think it's expensive to stay there.

93
00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:19,712
There's a rooftop bar where young people
take their Instagram pictures

94
00:06:19,796 --> 00:06:21,130
and put it on there.

95
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:26,636
And then inside the hotel
is a restaurant, a bar, and a coffee shop.

96
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:29,389
Down in the basement…

97
00:06:31,974 --> 00:06:34,143
…in a dark, black hole

98
00:06:34,727 --> 00:06:36,062
is the Clermont Lounge.

99
00:06:36,145 --> 00:06:39,273
And that is a strip club.

100
00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:41,984
Whoo!

101
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:46,114
And when I found that out, I said,
"Oh, I'm sorry. I have the Holy Spirit."

102
00:06:52,036 --> 00:06:54,372
I know. I'm like,
"I'm not going to that mess."

103
00:06:54,455 --> 00:06:56,416
They were like,
"It's not what you think it is."

104
00:06:56,499 --> 00:06:58,751
"Just trust us.
It's not what you think it is."

105
00:06:58,835 --> 00:07:01,170
The only thing I've ever known
about a strip club…

106
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:05,508
There was one in Knoxville, Tennessee
that was on the side of the interstate,

107
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:07,301
and it was called The Catch,

108
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:10,054
and my little children thought
it was a Mexican restaurant.

109
00:07:12,306 --> 00:07:14,350
And then I've seen movies, you know.

110
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:17,562
I've seen movies with strippers
and professional athletes

111
00:07:17,645 --> 00:07:20,189
and lights and poles
and all that kind of stuff.

112
00:07:21,607 --> 00:07:23,234
This is not that.

113
00:07:24,652 --> 00:07:27,780
This is more like
Ripley's Believe It or Not.

114
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:32,827
But I didn't know that.
And they kept begging me to go.

115
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:35,997
And I was so freaked out,
I asked my middle child, Maggie.

116
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,833
I said, "Do you think
if I go to this thing,

117
00:07:38,916 --> 00:07:40,877
I'm gonna feel the presence of Satan?"

118
00:07:42,211 --> 00:07:44,755
And she said, "Yeah, girl, I do."

119
00:07:48,009 --> 00:07:50,386
And I said to my baby child,

120
00:07:50,887 --> 00:07:52,722
who's fascinated by sin…

121
00:08:01,898 --> 00:08:03,983
I said, "Do you think I'll feel Satan?"

122
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:05,651
She went, "No, I don't think so."

123
00:08:07,403 --> 00:08:09,155
They both know I'm very sensitive.

124
00:08:09,238 --> 00:08:11,491
I have felt the presence of Satan

125
00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:15,703
on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

126
00:08:15,786 --> 00:08:18,164
I think he lives there full-time.

127
00:08:18,247 --> 00:08:20,541
And in Las Vegas twice.

128
00:08:22,084 --> 00:08:25,796
So they kept begging me to go,
kept begging me to go.

129
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,217
And so, we go down these dark steps,

130
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:31,219
down in this hole.

131
00:08:31,302 --> 00:08:35,306
And there's these big men standing
at the bottom, and they go, "Cash only."

132
00:08:36,015 --> 00:08:39,644
"If you take your phone out and use it,
we'll beat you to death with it."

133
00:08:42,772 --> 00:08:45,399
Well, they didn't say that,
but it felt like that.

134
00:08:48,903 --> 00:08:52,240
The hair and makeup people said,
"You'll get new material out of it."

135
00:08:52,323 --> 00:08:56,118
Anytime anybody says that to me, I know
something traumatic's about to happen.

136
00:08:56,619 --> 00:08:59,747
Okay, we go into this basement
of this hotel,

137
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:01,123
and it's a basement,

138
00:09:01,207 --> 00:09:04,210
and there are no lights, no poles,
nothing like that.

139
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:06,379
There's a tiny little stage with…

140
00:09:06,462 --> 00:09:10,675
The bar is built around it,
and it's got a low ceiling.

141
00:09:10,758 --> 00:09:15,805
So all these women that dance there
that are over five feet tall

142
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:18,599
have to dance like this.

143
00:09:27,441 --> 00:09:28,776
We go in there…

144
00:09:29,694 --> 00:09:32,738
And this is the impersonation
the hair and makeup people had of me.

145
00:09:32,822 --> 00:09:35,032
They said that I held my purse all night
and went…

146
00:09:41,956 --> 00:09:43,958
After I was there for a while, I realized

147
00:09:44,041 --> 00:09:46,711
there's people
that like to go to this place.

148
00:09:46,794 --> 00:09:49,922
First of all, darling gay men.

149
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:53,217
Darling, precious gay men.

150
00:09:53,301 --> 00:09:56,262
And I don't know if it's because… Hey.

151
00:10:01,767 --> 00:10:06,564
I don't know if it's 'cause y'all like
to encourage and lift up and cheer.

152
00:10:07,064 --> 00:10:09,692
You know? I think so, you doll.

153
00:10:10,192 --> 00:10:12,278
Okay. And then women's groups.

154
00:10:12,361 --> 00:10:13,529
Women's groups go.

155
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:16,032
That sounds like Bible study. Not that.

156
00:10:18,743 --> 00:10:21,746
It's like girls
with cowboy hats on and boas.

157
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:24,999
And they're going for bachelorettes
and birthdays, and going…

158
00:10:25,082 --> 00:10:27,501
That kind of… that kind of girl.

159
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:29,629
And then serial killers.

160
00:10:32,381 --> 00:10:34,592
Serial killers like to go.

161
00:10:35,092 --> 00:10:38,137
I know I looked in the face
of a serial killer.

162
00:10:40,056 --> 00:10:42,600
The first woman that came out

163
00:10:42,683 --> 00:10:44,769
was at least 70 years old.

164
00:10:46,228 --> 00:10:48,147
Before I start talking
about these little women,

165
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:52,109
I don't want y'all to go, "Leanne's making
fun of women trying to make a living."

166
00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:54,779
Ain't nobody making any money.

167
00:10:54,862 --> 00:10:56,447
All right? Nobody.

168
00:11:01,702 --> 00:11:03,120
This ain't about the money.

169
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,416
And it's sweet
that they let everybody participate.

170
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:11,462
But anyhoo, all right,

171
00:11:11,545 --> 00:11:15,424
that little woman comes out,
and she's got on a pump about that long,

172
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:17,259
but her little foot's about that long,

173
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:19,470
and it was swimming around
in that big pump.

174
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:23,057
And after more people came out, I thought,

175
00:11:23,557 --> 00:11:25,309
"Nobody's shoes fit."

176
00:11:27,770 --> 00:11:31,482
Everybody was sliding around
and dancing in their shoes.

177
00:11:34,902 --> 00:11:37,863
And I thought there must be
a big pile of shoes in the back…

178
00:11:39,323 --> 00:11:40,282
…and they tell them,

179
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:43,244
"Get you on a pair of shoes
before you go out there and dance."

180
00:11:45,621 --> 00:11:50,668
But this little woman had on
a denim pair of shorts and a tank top,

181
00:11:50,751 --> 00:11:52,670
and that's what she danced in.

182
00:11:53,254 --> 00:11:55,631
And it looked like
somebody would wear that

183
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:58,300
on a Saturday morning
in the Dollar General store.

184
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:00,761
That's what it looked like.

185
00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:05,015
It looked like somebody that would go,
"I just need some Diet Dr Pepper,

186
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:07,727
and a couple of cans of Hormel Chili."

187
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:14,316
The second woman that came out
was a young girl.

188
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,444
I think she was probably about 30,

189
00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:20,489
and she had blonde, curly hair
and black, horn-rimmed glasses.

190
00:12:20,573 --> 00:12:23,367
She was very enthusiastic.
She came out, and she was like…

191
00:12:25,828 --> 00:12:27,538
I thought, "Who does she look like?"

192
00:12:27,621 --> 00:12:30,624
"Ooh, Mrs. Frizzle on Magic School Bus."

193
00:12:33,544 --> 00:12:34,420
On PBS.

194
00:12:34,503 --> 00:12:36,422
My kids loved that show.

195
00:12:37,173 --> 00:12:43,053
And that little thing danced
in a 4th July, patriotic-themed,

196
00:12:43,137 --> 00:12:46,390
red, white, and blue bra and panty set.

197
00:12:48,225 --> 00:12:51,061
And I'll just tell y'all,
it was a little dingy.

198
00:12:54,565 --> 00:12:56,525
And as a mother,

199
00:12:57,902 --> 00:13:00,738
all I could think of
when that little thing was dancing was,

200
00:13:00,821 --> 00:13:03,574
"Man, I wish I could
take that bra and panty set home…

201
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:07,453
…and Biz that overnight."

202
00:13:08,996 --> 00:13:10,998
Oh. Mm.

203
00:13:11,081 --> 00:13:13,083
You can do anything with Biz.

204
00:13:13,584 --> 00:13:14,460
I love Biz.

205
00:13:14,543 --> 00:13:17,671
I thought, "If I could
just get a Tupperware bowl,

206
00:13:17,755 --> 00:13:19,757
put about that much Biz in it,

207
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:24,553
then fill it with water,
soak that bra and panty set overnight…"

208
00:13:30,851 --> 00:13:31,894
I know.

209
00:13:36,982 --> 00:13:38,275
Oh, y'all.

210
00:13:38,859 --> 00:13:40,027
Thank y'all.

211
00:13:42,905 --> 00:13:45,991
Thank y'all. Well, I like doing laundry.

212
00:13:46,075 --> 00:13:47,034
Okay.

213
00:13:47,117 --> 00:13:50,120
But you know, that night,
I walked away thinking two things.

214
00:13:50,204 --> 00:13:51,038
I really did.

215
00:13:51,121 --> 00:13:53,958
First, I thought,
"You know what, if times get bad…"

216
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:59,630
"If times get bad,

217
00:14:00,714 --> 00:14:03,676
I think I'd be a big deal there. I do."

218
00:14:05,052 --> 00:14:06,136
I do.

219
00:14:10,599 --> 00:14:11,475
Thank you.

220
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,769
I'm tall. I'd have to hinge at the hip.

221
00:14:15,062 --> 00:14:18,816
The second thing I thought was
Satan wasn't there.

222
00:14:19,316 --> 00:14:22,570
I don't think Satan was there.
I think Satan was like, "I'm good."

223
00:14:26,615 --> 00:14:31,036
Okay, let me tell y'all
that after my first Netflix special,

224
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,415
my team said, "Where do you want
to work out this new material?"

225
00:14:34,498 --> 00:14:36,667
"Let's send you to Southern California."

226
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:38,794
"Sunny Southern California."

227
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:40,963
"You can get away
from that Tennessee winter."

228
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:42,673
I was like, "Okay."

229
00:14:43,173 --> 00:14:44,884
This was January 2023,

230
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:47,845
and I know y'all don't remember,
'cause sweet Californian people

231
00:14:47,928 --> 00:14:50,598
have been through so much
with weather and all that stuff,

232
00:14:50,681 --> 00:14:53,642
but this was an unbelievable rain.

233
00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:56,562
Like an unusual rain
that they had not had in decades.

234
00:14:56,645 --> 00:14:58,522
And they called it biblical.

235
00:14:59,023 --> 00:15:03,694
And so my travel agent called me the day
that we were flying out, and she said,

236
00:15:03,777 --> 00:15:06,280
"A biblical storm
is hitting Southern California!"

237
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:08,324
"You're not gonna make it!"

238
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:11,118
And she sent me an article
that had the word "ark" in it.

239
00:15:11,201 --> 00:15:12,161
And I was like…

240
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:17,166
But me and my baby child went out there,

241
00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:19,418
and we landed,
and everything was all right.

242
00:15:19,501 --> 00:15:21,587
It really wasn't that much rain.

243
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:23,839
They're just not used to it out there.

244
00:15:24,882 --> 00:15:27,718
I don't know if they don't have
drainage systems or what,

245
00:15:27,801 --> 00:15:29,887
but everybody was
running through the streets

246
00:15:29,970 --> 00:15:32,306
with their bra
on the outside of their clothes.

247
00:15:34,224 --> 00:15:36,727
But we made it okay,
and this baby went with me.

248
00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:40,105
And she's backstage.
She's my makeup artist full-time.

249
00:15:41,899 --> 00:15:42,983
Thank you.

250
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:47,029
But anyway, thank the Lord
she went with me

251
00:15:47,112 --> 00:15:50,699
because I can't be driving and all that
out there in Southern California.

252
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:54,411
And I don't think 59 is old,
but I do think my nerves are shot.

253
00:15:55,579 --> 00:16:00,793
So we go, and we get a rental car,
and we go to eight hotels in four weeks.

254
00:16:00,876 --> 00:16:03,504
And by the end of that month, she said

255
00:16:03,587 --> 00:16:05,839
she was gonna slap my teeth out.

256
00:16:17,267 --> 00:16:20,229
She's not listening,
'cause she's sick of me, I think.

257
00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:22,356
But I'm scared of her.

258
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:28,320
But anyway, she said that I got
on the passenger side of that rental car

259
00:16:28,404 --> 00:16:31,657
and held onto that handle the whole time,

260
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:35,327
and put my brakes on
on the passenger side.

261
00:16:35,411 --> 00:16:37,121
And maybe I did,

262
00:16:37,204 --> 00:16:38,747
but somebody had to do it.

263
00:16:40,165 --> 00:16:42,459
And then I like to wear an Apple Watch

264
00:16:42,543 --> 00:16:45,295
because I like to monitor
my own heart health.

265
00:16:46,463 --> 00:16:49,508
And I like to push that button
that tells you where your iPhone is.

266
00:16:49,591 --> 00:16:51,885
That's the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

267
00:16:53,429 --> 00:16:54,263
I know.

268
00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:57,891
And by the end of that month,
she screamed at me and said,

269
00:16:57,975 --> 00:17:01,145
"Quit dinging that Apple Watch."

270
00:17:04,314 --> 00:17:06,066
"Your iPhone's in your lap."

271
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:16,368
The first place we go to
is Oxnard, California.

272
00:17:16,452 --> 00:17:18,579
I don't know if any of y'all
have ever been there,

273
00:17:18,662 --> 00:17:20,914
but it is beautiful. Beautiful.

274
00:17:20,998 --> 00:17:23,375
I'd never even heard of it.
It's on the beach.

275
00:17:23,459 --> 00:17:26,211
I rented a little bungalow
about two blocks from the beach,

276
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:29,381
and a little man came up to me
and gave me the keys and said,

277
00:17:29,465 --> 00:17:33,135
"Water's gonna come up out of this ocean,
come up over this thing and kill y'all."

278
00:17:39,099 --> 00:17:42,895
Okay, let me tell y'all, it's probably
like Wilmington, North Carolina.

279
00:17:42,978 --> 00:17:45,314
Big, fine homes, one right after another,

280
00:17:45,397 --> 00:17:49,693
with boats pulled up to 'em in the water,
like cars in a driveway.

281
00:17:49,777 --> 00:17:54,531
And I'd never seen anything like that,
and I thought, "Who are these people?"

282
00:17:55,032 --> 00:17:56,658
So I said to 'em,

283
00:17:56,742 --> 00:17:58,077
"Who are you people?"

284
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:01,246
"What do y'all do for a living?"

285
00:18:01,330 --> 00:18:04,625
And they said, "We farm.
A lot of us farm."

286
00:18:04,708 --> 00:18:08,045
And I said, "What?
I'm from farming people."

287
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:10,255
"What are y'all farming out here?"

288
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:13,675
And they said, "Strawberries and dope."

289
00:18:21,141 --> 00:18:23,560
They're growing a lot of dope

290
00:18:24,144 --> 00:18:25,729
in California.

291
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:27,606
And see, I'm not used to that.

292
00:18:27,689 --> 00:18:32,277
Tennessee… There's nothing legal,
recreational or medical, in Tennessee.

293
00:18:32,361 --> 00:18:38,617
But CBD stores have popped up
all over Knoxville, Tennessee.

294
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:40,369
And the rumor is

295
00:18:40,452 --> 00:18:42,162
the dope is a-coming.

296
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:49,461
And they say
that's where the dope is a-going.

297
00:18:50,462 --> 00:18:52,339
It's in those CBD stores.

298
00:18:52,422 --> 00:18:57,177
So I was with my physical therapist,
Justin, and he was working on my sciatica,

299
00:18:57,678 --> 00:19:00,264
right here,
and, uh, inflammation in my hip,

300
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:04,017
and then sometimes
my plantar fasciitis flares up

301
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,104
when I'm eating too much bread.

302
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:11,942
And he said, "Leanne, I've been hearing
a lot of good things about CBD."

303
00:19:12,025 --> 00:19:15,362
"I think it's very anti-inflammatory."
He goes, "Why don't you…"

304
00:19:15,445 --> 00:19:18,782
"There's a woman that's opened up
a CBD store in this strip mall."

305
00:19:18,866 --> 00:19:21,326
"Why don't you go talk to her
when we get finished?"

306
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:24,538
And so I walked down there,

307
00:19:25,038 --> 00:19:27,124
and I had to pass the Subway.

308
00:19:27,791 --> 00:19:29,209
Sandwiches.

309
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:33,172
And it was hard for me not to go in there,

310
00:19:33,255 --> 00:19:35,007
because I like that bread.

311
00:19:35,757 --> 00:19:38,010
But it causes plantar fasciitis.

312
00:19:38,093 --> 00:19:41,263
But anyway, I go in that CBD store,

313
00:19:41,346 --> 00:19:44,766
and it smells like patchouli and Subway.

314
00:19:46,810 --> 00:19:48,437
And that little woman's in there,

315
00:19:49,396 --> 00:19:51,815
and she's a hippie-looking little woman.

316
00:19:56,111 --> 00:19:58,405
I don't know why I'm doing that.

317
00:19:58,488 --> 00:20:00,324
Okay.

318
00:20:00,949 --> 00:20:01,825
Okay.

319
00:20:03,368 --> 00:20:07,164
She looks like one of those little women
in North Carolina

320
00:20:07,247 --> 00:20:09,208
that likes to blow glass.

321
00:20:13,253 --> 00:20:16,590
Some of you girls in Asheville…
Asheville, North Carolina.

322
00:20:19,426 --> 00:20:23,055
She looks like one of those little
artsy women that likes to wear a clog.

323
00:20:23,138 --> 00:20:26,642
You know, maybe go
to a storytelling festival on the weekend.

324
00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:28,977
Yeah.

325
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:30,646
She had hair under her arms.

326
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:32,064
Ew.

327
00:20:32,147 --> 00:20:35,734
And I thought, "You know what, I get it.
I'm tired too. I get it."

328
00:20:37,527 --> 00:20:40,239
But anyway, she said,
"I think I can help you."

329
00:20:40,322 --> 00:20:42,908
And she went and got a bag of gummies,

330
00:20:42,991 --> 00:20:45,911
and… and it had Delta-8 written on 'em.

331
00:20:45,994 --> 00:20:47,871
Oh.

332
00:20:49,081 --> 00:20:50,207
No.

333
00:20:51,708 --> 00:20:55,128
I know. What is Delta-8?
I still don't know what it is.

334
00:20:55,212 --> 00:20:58,215
But I do feel like if dope's right here,

335
00:20:58,298 --> 00:21:00,550
it must be right up under dope.

336
00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:05,847
And maybe sprinkled with LSD, maybe.

337
00:21:07,474 --> 00:21:09,685
She said, "Okay,
this is what you're gonna do."

338
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:12,854
"Take one a night. You gotta be
consistent over time with it."

339
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:14,189
And I was like, "Okay."

340
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,817
It scared me to death.

341
00:21:17,317 --> 00:21:19,027
And I got it in the car.

342
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:21,280
And I thought, "I better not drive fast."

343
00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:26,910
And I got it home.

344
00:21:26,994 --> 00:21:28,829
And Chuck Morgan was there.

345
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:32,374
And I didn't tell him what I had done.

346
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:35,544
And I went, "Hey."

347
00:21:39,756 --> 00:21:43,677
I got it and took it back
and put it in my closet.

348
00:21:44,177 --> 00:21:46,430
And I waited until nightfall.

349
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:51,226
And I… I was scared to death. I just…

350
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,104
I took a nibble off of one. Just a nibble.

351
00:21:54,187 --> 00:21:56,356
I didn't even take a whole one.
Just a nibble.

352
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,525
And I don't know if this was in my head,

353
00:21:58,608 --> 00:22:02,154
but 20 minutes later,
my heart was beating out of my body.

354
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:06,450
And I thought, "Oh my Lord,

355
00:22:06,533 --> 00:22:09,411
I'm in A-Fib. I'm in A-Fib."

356
00:22:15,917 --> 00:22:18,253
"And I need to go to the emergency room
right now."

357
00:22:19,379 --> 00:22:22,341
But I thought,
"I didn't tell Chuck Morgan what I'd done,

358
00:22:22,424 --> 00:22:24,593
and he's not gonna know
what to tell the doctor."

359
00:22:24,676 --> 00:22:26,219
Everything went through my head.

360
00:22:26,303 --> 00:22:28,555
Then I started thinking,
"The police are coming."

361
00:22:28,638 --> 00:22:29,973
"The police are coming."

362
00:22:30,057 --> 00:22:33,477
I sat up until 2:00 a.m.,

363
00:22:34,311 --> 00:22:36,480
monitoring my own heart rate.

364
00:22:38,357 --> 00:22:41,818
I eventually fell off to sleep,
but it wasn't a good sleep.

365
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,363
I wallowed in the bed.

366
00:22:44,988 --> 00:22:47,866
And for all the people
in the United States, wallowing means

367
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:49,785
I wallowed in the bed.

368
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:54,289
I just…

369
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:55,415
…wallowed.

370
00:22:57,042 --> 00:23:00,670
I wallowed all night in the bed
and dreamed horrible things.

371
00:23:00,754 --> 00:23:03,131
I dreamed that me and John Wayne

372
00:23:03,632 --> 00:23:05,926
fought Ricardo Montalbán…

373
00:23:08,512 --> 00:23:11,807
…on horseback all night.

374
00:23:13,809 --> 00:23:16,853
I've never taken
another one of those gummies.

375
00:23:17,354 --> 00:23:19,064
But I… I didn't throw 'em away.

376
00:23:19,147 --> 00:23:20,482
They're in my closet.

377
00:23:22,526 --> 00:23:25,695
I don't make eye contact with them.
I just walk by 'em.

378
00:23:27,697 --> 00:23:31,159
The second weekend we were in California,
we went to Brea,

379
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:33,286
which is beautiful too.

380
00:23:33,370 --> 00:23:36,289
And beautiful, sweet, precious people
there too.

381
00:23:36,373 --> 00:23:40,127
And that was gonna be the weekend
that my baby child turned 25.

382
00:23:40,210 --> 00:23:42,129
Her daddy said, "I wanna be with y'all."

383
00:23:42,212 --> 00:23:44,840
"I'm gonna buy a plane ticket,
and I'm coming out there."

384
00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:49,010
So I called my travel agent, and I said,
"You better get another room."

385
00:23:51,096 --> 00:23:53,932
"'Cause their daddy misses me."

386
00:24:05,652 --> 00:24:08,697
I don't know what it is
about Chuck Morgan in a hotel room.

387
00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:13,702
But he gets in a hotel room,
gets a glazed look over his eyes,

388
00:24:14,202 --> 00:24:16,079
and I feel like I'm doing this.

389
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:23,170
And the reason
why I had to get another hotel room

390
00:24:23,253 --> 00:24:25,881
is because this baby and I
have been touring together.

391
00:24:25,964 --> 00:24:29,801
She's with me all the time.
I've done 150 dates with her.

392
00:24:29,885 --> 00:24:32,179
And their daddy
does not want me to spend money,

393
00:24:32,262 --> 00:24:34,389
and so we've had to share a room.

394
00:24:34,973 --> 00:24:40,228
So we've been butt-to-butt
in a king-size bed everywhere we go.

395
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:41,855
And all of my married life,

396
00:24:41,938 --> 00:24:44,274
Chuck Morgan has told me
not to spend money

397
00:24:44,357 --> 00:24:47,194
and that we were gonna lose everything.
He's tried to scare me.

398
00:24:48,153 --> 00:24:49,279
And he's been in my ear.

399
00:24:49,362 --> 00:24:53,450
I can hear him saying, "You better eat
that free continental breakfast."

400
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:00,916
"Don't you dare go to Panera."

401
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:08,507
But, okay, so Chuck Morgan
buys a really cheap airline ticket.

402
00:25:08,590 --> 00:25:10,759
He had to get up
in the middle of the night,

403
00:25:11,468 --> 00:25:14,804
and connect
all over the United States of America.

404
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:19,768
He finally gets there,
and he is worn to a frazzle.

405
00:25:20,894 --> 00:25:24,022
And Chuck Morgan doesn't nap,
but he napped on and off that day

406
00:25:24,105 --> 00:25:27,317
and watched Tennessee play basketball
in the hotel room.

407
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,779
And then I went to a club
and worked two shows.

408
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:33,114
I was supposed to be thinking
about new material,

409
00:25:33,198 --> 00:25:36,243
and all I could think of
the whole time I was up there was,

410
00:25:37,452 --> 00:25:39,246
"He's gonna get a lot of rest."

411
00:25:50,131 --> 00:25:51,841
And I'm gonna have to do

412
00:25:52,342 --> 00:25:54,094
unspeakable things…

413
00:25:57,264 --> 00:25:58,473
…all night…

414
00:26:00,183 --> 00:26:02,102
…so my baby will have a good birthday.

415
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:07,524
I hate to even say that.

416
00:26:07,607 --> 00:26:09,943
If there's young girls in here
that are 20 and 30,

417
00:26:10,026 --> 00:26:11,861
I hate to say that to y'all,

418
00:26:12,362 --> 00:26:13,863
but I want to be honest.

419
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:17,325
I don't wanna blow smoke
up y'all's butthole.

420
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:21,788
And I'm not saying y'all have to, but

421
00:26:22,289 --> 00:26:25,292
I have prostituted myself to Chuck Morgan…

422
00:26:33,592 --> 00:26:36,219
…for over 34 years now…

423
00:26:37,846 --> 00:26:39,723
…so my children would have good shoes.

424
00:26:40,974 --> 00:26:42,851
And Chuck's in the back tonight.

425
00:26:42,934 --> 00:26:45,812
He would love to come out here
and say to y'all right now…

426
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,865
Uh-oh, y'all.
Chuck Morgan's gonna get the big head.

427
00:26:56,948 --> 00:26:58,617
Um…

428
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:01,036
He would love to come out here
and say to y'all,

429
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,663
"Oh, don't worry,
she hasn't been a good prostitute."

430
00:27:03,747 --> 00:27:05,790
That's what he'd say.

431
00:27:06,541 --> 00:27:08,668
Okay, y'all, when it was time
to go out there,

432
00:27:08,752 --> 00:27:10,337
I thought I better take a notebook.

433
00:27:10,420 --> 00:27:13,006
I'm in my fifties.
I can't think of my name.

434
00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:17,385
And I looked in my children's playroom.
I'm in the house I raised my children in.

435
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:19,929
And I don't know if y'all got girls,
if they did this,

436
00:27:20,013 --> 00:27:22,599
but mine, when they were little,
it didn't matter where we went,

437
00:27:22,682 --> 00:27:26,353
if it was Walgreens, Target, Walmart,
wherever, they would say,

438
00:27:26,436 --> 00:27:28,146
"I'm gonna need a notebook."

439
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:33,026
"And it needs to be purple or pink,
and it needs to have a heart on it."

440
00:27:33,109 --> 00:27:36,696
And then they would take it home
and write one dramatic sentence in it

441
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:38,406
and then throw it away.

442
00:27:39,824 --> 00:27:43,703
I've kept all those notebooks, and I found
this little purple one with a heart on it.

443
00:27:43,787 --> 00:27:47,248
And my Maggie, my middle one,
who is my most sensitive,

444
00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:49,417
had written a sweet note
to her fourth-grade teacher

445
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:52,629
about how much she loved her and what
she was gonna buy her for Christmas.

446
00:27:52,712 --> 00:27:54,172
And that made me think of this.

447
00:27:54,255 --> 00:27:57,759
When I was a young mama,
I always had a minivan.

448
00:27:57,842 --> 00:28:00,595
And Chuck Morgan was out
making us a wonderful living,

449
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:03,848
but he was gone
traveling all over the United States.

450
00:28:03,932 --> 00:28:06,226
And I had these little children
all close together,

451
00:28:06,309 --> 00:28:09,896
and everybody seems like they were always
crying and whipping each other.

452
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:13,233
And I would be white-knuckling it,

453
00:28:13,316 --> 00:28:15,276
trying to get somebody
to a soccer practice

454
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,404
that they really didn't want to go to.

455
00:28:20,198 --> 00:28:21,491
What was that?

456
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,079
And everybody would be crying and yelling,
and that sensitive baby, that middle one,

457
00:28:26,162 --> 00:28:29,624
would ask me deep, deep questions
all the time.

458
00:28:30,125 --> 00:28:33,002
For example,
questions about the solar system.

459
00:28:33,503 --> 00:28:37,006
And finally, one day, I said,
"Baby, I didn't pay attention in school."

460
00:28:43,722 --> 00:28:46,975
Is there anything you'd like to know
about Young and the Restless?

461
00:28:55,608 --> 00:28:57,777
And let me tell y'all,
she went through a phase

462
00:28:57,861 --> 00:29:00,697
where she was worried
who was gonna get to go to heaven.

463
00:29:00,780 --> 00:29:02,615
She wants everybody to go to heaven.

464
00:29:03,116 --> 00:29:05,076
And I remember her asking me about people,

465
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,288
and everybody would be yelling
in the back seat, hungry and all that,

466
00:29:08,371 --> 00:29:09,914
and her little voice would say,

467
00:29:09,998 --> 00:29:12,834
"Mommy, is Johnny Cash going to heaven?"

468
00:29:14,377 --> 00:29:16,337
I remember that day,
and I remember what I said.

469
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:17,797
I said, "Yeah."

470
00:29:18,715 --> 00:29:20,258
"Yes, Johnny Cash is going to heaven."

471
00:29:20,341 --> 00:29:24,471
"He and June have spread the gospel
with Billy Graham all over the States."

472
00:29:24,971 --> 00:29:27,015
"Yes, he'll be in heaven."

473
00:29:27,724 --> 00:29:32,437
Okay, and I got to thinking about this
when I was… All this was in my mind.

474
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,564
I've got a daughter-in-law who is…

475
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:37,609
We are in love with her, and she is
so smart and such a good mama,

476
00:29:37,692 --> 00:29:40,028
and I watch her talk to my grandbabies,

477
00:29:40,111 --> 00:29:41,863
and she makes sense.

478
00:29:44,032 --> 00:29:46,075
And it's just made me look back.

479
00:29:47,660 --> 00:29:51,289
And… and I think I said some crazy mess.

480
00:29:53,166 --> 00:29:54,876
But I was tired.

481
00:29:57,629 --> 00:30:00,799
So she was worried about
who was going to heaven, and she asked me

482
00:30:00,882 --> 00:30:02,217
about J-Lo.

483
00:30:03,343 --> 00:30:05,720
And this was years ago,
and I'm a huge J-Lo fan.

484
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:08,181
And she said,
"Mommy, is J-Lo going to heaven?"

485
00:30:08,681 --> 00:30:12,227
Just let me tell y'all,
I was in a bad place, okay?

486
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:15,897
I was in a bad place, and I think
I'd gone up a size in my pants.

487
00:30:17,065 --> 00:30:18,483
And she asked me about J-Lo.

488
00:30:18,566 --> 00:30:21,694
She goes, "Is she going to heaven?"
And I said, "I don't know."

489
00:30:25,406 --> 00:30:27,867
"I don't know.
I think she needs to mature spiritually."

490
00:30:27,951 --> 00:30:29,035
"And, um…"

491
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:32,413
"…she's going through
a lot of men right now."

492
00:30:35,124 --> 00:30:38,336
I said it. I remember saying it.
And it was wrong.

493
00:30:38,419 --> 00:30:40,421
And I'm sorry.
And I should have never said it.

494
00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:41,798
One reason I shouldn't have,

495
00:30:41,881 --> 00:30:45,802
I went through as many men as J-Lo
ever thought about going through, honey.

496
00:30:46,302 --> 00:30:47,220
Just, um…

497
00:30:48,555 --> 00:30:51,140
It was terrible. Terrible.

498
00:30:51,641 --> 00:30:54,727
The only difference was,
mine were not successful people.

499
00:30:56,271 --> 00:30:58,773
So real quick,
let's just recap some of J-Lo's men.

500
00:30:58,857 --> 00:31:01,568
We don't have time for all of them, but…

501
00:31:01,651 --> 00:31:03,778
Remember that little first one,
the backup dancer?

502
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:06,656
Remember him? Cris?
I think his name was Cris.

503
00:31:06,739 --> 00:31:09,742
What happened to him?
Has anybody checked on him?

504
00:31:11,828 --> 00:31:14,747
And then she was with Ben Affleck
the first time,

505
00:31:14,831 --> 00:31:17,375
and they could have eaten
each other's lips off.

506
00:31:17,458 --> 00:31:20,253
I don't know what happened.
Maybe it was too volatile.

507
00:31:20,336 --> 00:31:23,047
And then he married
little Jennifer Garner.

508
00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:28,261
I know! And I've never met her,
but she looks like she'd be precious.

509
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:30,930
And she looks like she shops at the Loft.

510
00:31:31,014 --> 00:31:32,390
Like everybody else.

511
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:36,644
And then J-Lo married
that little bug-eyed Marc Anthony.

512
00:31:40,106 --> 00:31:41,858
Big head, little legs.

513
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:43,985
Yeah.

514
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,321
Yeah.

515
00:31:46,404 --> 00:31:48,823
He's the size of my cough drop.

516
00:31:50,033 --> 00:31:52,911
Look at that. Talented. Very talented.

517
00:31:52,994 --> 00:31:56,414
And then she was with big ole A-Rod.
And I forget about big ole A-Rod.

518
00:31:56,497 --> 00:32:00,209
And then she got back with Ben Affleck,
and they married, and I thought,

519
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:02,587
"Ooh, this doesn't look good."

520
00:32:02,670 --> 00:32:05,131
'Cause every video or picture
you'd see of them,

521
00:32:05,214 --> 00:32:07,717
they'd be coming out of somewhere,
and he'd be going…

522
00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:14,766
And you know that he worshiped her
because she glows.

523
00:32:14,849 --> 00:32:18,728
Have y'all noticed that? She glows.
I think she's so beautiful.

524
00:32:18,811 --> 00:32:21,940
I read in People magazine
that she eats a lot of salmon.

525
00:32:24,984 --> 00:32:25,985
Okay.

526
00:32:29,197 --> 00:32:30,323
She does.

527
00:32:34,744 --> 00:32:36,996
We all need to be eating a lot of salmon.

528
00:32:37,538 --> 00:32:42,543
Okay, so here's another story
about my middle child being so sensitive.

529
00:32:42,627 --> 00:32:45,254
My children went
to a small Christian school in Knoxville,

530
00:32:45,338 --> 00:32:47,757
and we loved it.
It was like a family to us.

531
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,344
And the elementary school was tiny.

532
00:32:51,427 --> 00:32:54,639
The girl that worked the front desk
was Jeannie, a good friend of mine.

533
00:32:54,722 --> 00:32:57,183
And I dropped
my little children off that morning,

534
00:32:57,266 --> 00:32:58,685
and I came back that afternoon,

535
00:32:58,768 --> 00:33:01,604
and Jeannie saw me walk in,
and she grabbed her chest and said,

536
00:33:01,688 --> 00:33:04,107
"Oh, my gosh, Leanne,
how are you walking?"

537
00:33:04,607 --> 00:33:08,069
"Do you need me to call somebody?
Do you need to go to the hospital?"

538
00:33:08,152 --> 00:33:12,448
I said, "What are you talking about?"
She said, "Maggie said you had surgery."

539
00:33:12,532 --> 00:33:14,283
"She's asked for prayer."

540
00:33:17,245 --> 00:33:20,540
"We've been praying for you
over the intercom all day."

541
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,213
I said, "Jeannie, I got my IUD replaced."

542
00:33:35,054 --> 00:33:37,724
I want you boys in North Carolina

543
00:33:37,807 --> 00:33:40,977
to know, honey, that I was very fertile.

544
00:33:41,060 --> 00:33:44,272
I was very fertile, praise God.

545
00:33:44,355 --> 00:33:46,232
I was as fertile as the Napa Valley.

546
00:33:47,608 --> 00:33:50,403
And I think it's 'cause
I'm from farming people.

547
00:33:50,903 --> 00:33:52,697
We killed our own beef.

548
00:33:52,780 --> 00:33:55,616
And I've got thick ankles,
and I can work in the fields.

549
00:33:56,659 --> 00:33:59,537
But anyway, I had to get an IUD
every five years

550
00:33:59,620 --> 00:34:02,040
because Chuck Morgan
didn't get a vasectomy, and…

551
00:34:02,123 --> 00:34:04,542
But whatever. It's okay.

552
00:34:04,625 --> 00:34:08,921
Let me tell y'all that that precious
Christian school put me on a meal chain.

553
00:34:12,341 --> 00:34:14,761
They put me on a meal chain.

554
00:34:15,803 --> 00:34:17,805
And somebody brought me a meatloaf…

555
00:34:19,766 --> 00:34:21,309
…that afternoon.

556
00:34:22,894 --> 00:34:24,145
And it was a good one.

557
00:34:26,606 --> 00:34:28,357
And so my hope and prayer,
and I mean this,

558
00:34:28,441 --> 00:34:29,901
my hope and prayer for all of y'all

559
00:34:29,984 --> 00:34:32,195
is y'all have a good friend
who'll make you a meatloaf

560
00:34:32,278 --> 00:34:33,863
when you get your IUD replaced.

561
00:34:34,989 --> 00:34:36,365
I know.

562
00:34:37,784 --> 00:34:39,160
I know.

563
00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:45,083
But y'all, people ask me all the time,

564
00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:48,878
"Does Chuck Morgan get mad at you
talking about him?" And I go, "No."

565
00:34:48,961 --> 00:34:51,297
"He wants me to talk about him."

566
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:53,341
He'll say, "Tell 'em this."

567
00:34:56,344 --> 00:34:59,305
He goes, "Why don't you tell 'em
about the time I got arrested?"

568
00:35:00,389 --> 00:35:01,349
Okay.

569
00:35:02,892 --> 00:35:04,519
It was over 25 years ago.

570
00:35:04,602 --> 00:35:06,979
We had three little children
under the age of five,

571
00:35:07,063 --> 00:35:09,565
and his company sent us,
the very first trip,

572
00:35:09,649 --> 00:35:11,692
to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

573
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:14,403
And I was so tickled
that I was gonna get to go.

574
00:35:14,487 --> 00:35:16,197
I'd never been anywhere like that.

575
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,492
And my little mom and daddy
took care of my babies for a week for me,

576
00:35:19,575 --> 00:35:21,494
so I didn't have to worry about them.

577
00:35:21,577 --> 00:35:22,870
And I was so excited.

578
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:26,999
We flew out of our little airport
in Knoxville, Tennessee, and took all day.

579
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:32,046
Like 12 hours. Like mules, trains,
planes, boats, I don't know,

580
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:34,549
to get on the other side,
the Pacific side.

581
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:36,509
And we get in the hotel room.

582
00:35:37,009 --> 00:35:39,220
And I had to do unspeakable things.

583
00:35:50,982 --> 00:35:52,358
For seven days.

584
00:35:59,866 --> 00:36:02,952
I never saw Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

585
00:36:05,913 --> 00:36:08,416
By the end of that week, I was depleted.

586
00:36:09,542 --> 00:36:13,087
Then it was time to fly all the way back.
It took another 12 hours to get back.

587
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:15,423
We get into East Tennessee
to our little airport,

588
00:36:15,506 --> 00:36:16,883
and we landed at midnight,

589
00:36:16,966 --> 00:36:20,386
and we had to drive into East Tennessee
where we were living, and I thought,

590
00:36:20,469 --> 00:36:23,014
"If I can just put my hands
on those babies and go to bed,

591
00:36:23,097 --> 00:36:24,891
everything's gonna be all right."

592
00:36:25,391 --> 00:36:28,311
But darn if Chuck Morgan
doesn't get pulled over by the police,

593
00:36:28,394 --> 00:36:29,729
I think he was going too fast.

594
00:36:29,812 --> 00:36:33,399
What he ended up getting arrested for
wasn't bad, but we didn't know that.

595
00:36:33,482 --> 00:36:36,235
I think it was another ticket
that he needed to pay.

596
00:36:37,528 --> 00:36:40,573
We're on the side of the road,
and the police car is in front of us.

597
00:36:40,656 --> 00:36:42,909
I'm looking through the headlights
at the police,

598
00:36:42,992 --> 00:36:46,454
thinking, "This won't take long.
We'll be out of here before you know it."

599
00:36:46,954 --> 00:36:48,998
"I'll be home. Mm-hmm."

600
00:36:49,081 --> 00:36:51,417
They come around,
and they get his license.

601
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:54,253
They get him out of the car,
and take him around the front.

602
00:36:54,337 --> 00:36:58,174
And I'm watching all this
in the headlights, and they cuff him.

603
00:36:59,175 --> 00:37:02,386
And he turns around at me, and I go…

604
00:37:05,181 --> 00:37:06,682
What?

605
00:37:08,768 --> 00:37:10,102
What?

606
00:37:11,812 --> 00:37:15,775
And he mouths something at me,
like, "Oh good Lord, Leanne."

607
00:37:18,653 --> 00:37:21,614
And my whole life flashed before my eyes.

608
00:37:22,114 --> 00:37:24,283
I thought, "He's in a drug cartel."

609
00:37:30,623 --> 00:37:33,084
"He has another family in Idaho."

610
00:37:35,211 --> 00:37:37,797
I've always thought
he had another family in Idaho

611
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,926
because, all of our married life,
he has said, "I told you that,"

612
00:37:42,009 --> 00:37:43,344
and he hasn't.

613
00:37:44,553 --> 00:37:48,432
He thinks he's told me stuff,
and he has not.

614
00:37:49,141 --> 00:37:51,978
And I've said,
"I've never heard that before in my life."

615
00:37:52,561 --> 00:37:56,482
Finally, one day, I go, "Are you
telling a woman in Idaho all this?"

616
00:37:59,193 --> 00:38:02,238
I said, "Are you gonna
let her go to Panera, Chuck?"

617
00:38:03,364 --> 00:38:06,909
Okay, let me tell y'all
that Chuck Morgan, when we met,

618
00:38:06,993 --> 00:38:08,995
we were at the University of Tennessee.

619
00:38:10,329 --> 00:38:11,330
Go Vols.

620
00:38:12,748 --> 00:38:16,127
And he was getting a master's in business
and making straight A's

621
00:38:16,210 --> 00:38:19,547
and working three jobs and wooing me.

622
00:38:20,047 --> 00:38:22,049
And I was…

623
00:38:27,013 --> 00:38:29,390
…a wreck. A wreck, honey.

624
00:38:29,473 --> 00:38:31,726
I barely got out
of the University of Tennessee.

625
00:38:31,809 --> 00:38:34,645
I graduated through the skin of my teeth.
It took me years.

626
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:38,774
I would drop out, go back, all…

627
00:38:38,858 --> 00:38:39,817
Okay.

628
00:38:41,569 --> 00:38:44,697
But when I knew that I was gonna
get to marry Chuck Morgan, I thought,

629
00:38:44,780 --> 00:38:47,074
"Oh my gosh."

630
00:38:47,575 --> 00:38:49,035
"He is so smart."

631
00:38:49,118 --> 00:38:51,829
"He can do anything.
He's gonna take care of everything."

632
00:38:51,912 --> 00:38:53,581
"He's gonna work like a mule."

633
00:38:54,832 --> 00:38:59,295
"And I'm just gonna have a ball.
I'm just gonna…"

634
00:39:02,423 --> 00:39:05,468
Well, we married,
and I had my first baby by him.

635
00:39:05,551 --> 00:39:07,678
And it dawned on me one day.

636
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:10,765
I thought, "He's smart at work."

637
00:39:19,148 --> 00:39:20,399
"Not at home."

638
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:27,239
And I thought, "Oh no.
Surely I'm not in charge."

639
00:39:29,575 --> 00:39:32,495
"Surely I'm not gonna be the one
to have to tend to all this."

640
00:39:32,578 --> 00:39:36,499
Because it was three years before that,
I was dancing to Prince, "When Doves Cry."

641
00:39:36,582 --> 00:39:37,875
You know, I was like…

642
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:41,212
Let me tell you
when it really freaked me out.

643
00:39:41,295 --> 00:39:43,214
I had my second baby.

644
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:46,300
She was born April 3rd.
This was the last week of March.

645
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:51,138
I was gonna go at any time and give birth,
and a big snow came in east Tennessee.

646
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:52,765
There was snow on the ground.

647
00:39:52,848 --> 00:39:58,437
And I had, um…
My oldest baby was… my Charlie, was two.

648
00:39:58,521 --> 00:40:01,065
He had quit taking a nap,
was still in diapers.

649
00:40:01,148 --> 00:40:03,484
But he was a precious baby,
but very active.

650
00:40:03,567 --> 00:40:06,028
And he would beat on the front door,
trying to get out

651
00:40:06,112 --> 00:40:08,697
so he could run
down the yellow line of the highway.

652
00:40:15,830 --> 00:40:18,332
And I was worn to a frazzle.

653
00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:23,504
And I was about to give birth
at any minute, and I got strep real bad.

654
00:40:23,587 --> 00:40:28,759
And my OB-GYN was Pete,
who was in our Sunday school class.

655
00:40:28,843 --> 00:40:30,928
And he was so cute.

656
00:40:31,011 --> 00:40:33,055
And I hated for him to see me that way.

657
00:40:35,391 --> 00:40:37,977
But Pete said,
"You've got a horrible case of strep."

658
00:40:38,060 --> 00:40:41,397
"I'm gonna have to put you
in the hospital, Leanne, overnight."

659
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,983
"You're gonna have to get
a bag of fluids and rest."

660
00:40:44,066 --> 00:40:45,276
And I said,

661
00:40:45,359 --> 00:40:46,569
"For real?"

662
00:40:48,487 --> 00:40:49,780
"For real?"

663
00:40:49,864 --> 00:40:51,532
"I get to go in the hospital?"

664
00:40:52,908 --> 00:40:54,368
"Overnight?"

665
00:40:55,536 --> 00:40:58,080
It's like somebody sent me
to Turks and Caicos.

666
00:41:07,089 --> 00:41:08,507
They took me to the hospital.

667
00:41:08,591 --> 00:41:10,801
Chuck had our two-year-old, Charlie.

668
00:41:10,885 --> 00:41:14,680
And they dropped me off
early that morning and then disappeared.

669
00:41:15,806 --> 00:41:17,558
And didn't come back
until late that night.

670
00:41:17,641 --> 00:41:19,226
And I said, "Where have you been?"

671
00:41:19,727 --> 00:41:21,145
And he went, "Nowhere."

672
00:41:22,396 --> 00:41:25,733
I said, "What are you doing
wearing a sweat suit? You're sweating."

673
00:41:25,816 --> 00:41:29,153
He said, "Okay, Leanne, I've been
playing basketball at the rec center."

674
00:41:29,653 --> 00:41:31,238
I said, "Full-court?"

675
00:41:35,034 --> 00:41:36,035
He went, "Yeah, why?"

676
00:41:36,118 --> 00:41:38,037
I go, "Who was watching our baby

677
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,080
while you were playing
full-court basketball?"

678
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:43,918
And I looked down, and my baby's got on
a diaper swollen down to his ankles.

679
00:41:49,215 --> 00:41:51,258
And I said, "What has he eaten?"

680
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:53,052
And he said, "Eaten?"

681
00:41:56,305 --> 00:41:58,599
I said, "Chuck, they… Listen to me."

682
00:41:58,682 --> 00:42:00,976
I go, "They're gonna discharge me
tomorrow at noon,

683
00:42:01,060 --> 00:42:03,312
and they need you to bring me an outfit."

684
00:42:06,565 --> 00:42:08,234
Let me tell y'all…

685
00:42:09,485 --> 00:42:12,154
…what he brought me to the hospital.

686
00:42:13,572 --> 00:42:15,824
He brought me a pair of panties…

687
00:42:18,035 --> 00:42:19,495
…that were a triangle…

688
00:42:21,163 --> 00:42:22,748
…with strings on it.

689
00:42:24,333 --> 00:42:26,794
My belly button was that big.

690
00:42:28,796 --> 00:42:31,799
My stomach was out to here.

691
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:36,470
I had to somehow
try to get these panties on.

692
00:42:37,137 --> 00:42:39,181
I think I was crowning.

693
00:42:39,265 --> 00:42:40,933
I think I was crowning.

694
00:42:45,104 --> 00:42:47,940
Those panties were
the size of Marc Anthony.

695
00:42:54,822 --> 00:42:57,658
He brought me a pair of six-inch pumps.

696
00:42:59,201 --> 00:43:01,704
Black. Black pumps.

697
00:43:01,787 --> 00:43:05,040
Okay, you girls that are my age,
do y'all remember when Kathie Lee Gifford

698
00:43:05,124 --> 00:43:08,252
had her own line
of maternity wear at Walmart?

699
00:43:08,335 --> 00:43:10,462
Did y'all remember that?

700
00:43:10,546 --> 00:43:12,131
It was to die for.

701
00:43:12,631 --> 00:43:15,843
It was very inexpensive.
Basic pieces. Mix and match.

702
00:43:15,926 --> 00:43:16,969
I loved it.

703
00:43:17,052 --> 00:43:19,847
And then something happened
with a sweatshop overseas.

704
00:43:21,890 --> 00:43:24,226
And they shut her down,
and I was devastated.

705
00:43:25,269 --> 00:43:29,356
But anyway, he brought me a pair
of Kathie Lee Gifford summer capris.

706
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,027
Summer. There was snow on the ground
in East Tennessee.

707
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:35,404
Summer capri.

708
00:43:35,487 --> 00:43:37,406
He brought me a summer top

709
00:43:38,157 --> 00:43:39,825
that was not maternity.

710
00:43:40,659 --> 00:43:42,494
So it hit me about right there.

711
00:43:43,954 --> 00:43:46,540
And then a big old fake fur black coat

712
00:43:47,374 --> 00:43:50,753
that I definitely danced to Prince in
at a club, honey.

713
00:43:52,296 --> 00:43:55,716
And I remember
those sweet nurses rolling me out.

714
00:44:02,389 --> 00:44:05,643
I know they got back in that hospital
and looked at each other and said,

715
00:44:05,726 --> 00:44:07,770
"She's a prostitute."

716
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:20,658
Let me tell y'all
about my precious grandbabies.

717
00:44:20,741 --> 00:44:22,451
Mm, mm, mm, mm!

718
00:44:22,534 --> 00:44:25,663
Thank you. Thank you.

719
00:44:25,746 --> 00:44:27,039
Thank you.

720
00:44:27,122 --> 00:44:29,083
Oh, yummy, yummy, yummy.

721
00:44:29,166 --> 00:44:31,251
I'm in love with them,
and I hope I have ten more.

722
00:44:31,335 --> 00:44:34,963
But I've got two boys,
and they are two and four.

723
00:44:35,047 --> 00:44:37,675
And my oldest one calls me Grandmama.

724
00:44:37,758 --> 00:44:41,178
When he spends the night, he'll hold on
to the railing, hold on to my hand,

725
00:44:41,261 --> 00:44:44,139
and he'll say,
"Hold on, Grandmama, hold on."

726
00:44:46,141 --> 00:44:47,685
He thinks I'm feeble.

727
00:44:52,314 --> 00:44:55,234
It's very different being a mama
than a grandmama.

728
00:44:55,734 --> 00:44:58,070
They're both wonderful,
but they're very different.

729
00:44:58,153 --> 00:44:59,822
This is the difference, I think.

730
00:44:59,905 --> 00:45:03,325
When my babies want something,

731
00:45:04,785 --> 00:45:06,245
I'm gonna give it to 'em.

732
00:45:08,914 --> 00:45:11,667
And my boy and his wife
are wonderful parents,

733
00:45:11,750 --> 00:45:13,419
but they say crap to me.

734
00:45:16,505 --> 00:45:19,091
Things like, "No more riding toys."

735
00:45:24,930 --> 00:45:29,059
And I'm like, "Okay, but I cannot
take back this Chevy with a gooseneck."

736
00:45:32,896 --> 00:45:34,273
They said to me the other day,

737
00:45:34,356 --> 00:45:36,692
"We're gonna have to wean this one
off his pacifier."

738
00:45:36,775 --> 00:45:40,446
And I was like, "Yep, that's a good idea."

739
00:45:41,071 --> 00:45:44,283
And then I went home and ordered
as many as I could off the Internet.

740
00:45:47,369 --> 00:45:50,831
Now I know why my little mom and daddy
acted the way they did.

741
00:45:51,331 --> 00:45:54,334
They helped me so much. My children
would spend the night with them.

742
00:45:54,418 --> 00:45:58,881
And I remember going to pick them up,
and I said to my little daddy,

743
00:45:58,964 --> 00:46:04,511
"Daddy, they've got a yellow film
over their teeth."

744
00:46:06,221 --> 00:46:10,601
"Have they brushed their teeth
since we've been gone?"

745
00:46:11,101 --> 00:46:14,396
And my daddy shook
and got so mad at me and said,

746
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,023
"They didn't want to!"

747
00:46:24,156 --> 00:46:26,909
My little mama, Lucille,
every time when they were little,

748
00:46:26,992 --> 00:46:30,537
they'd go visit them, Mama would
sling open that back door and say,

749
00:46:30,621 --> 00:46:35,000
"Welcome. Here's some Magic Markers.
Write on the wall."

750
00:46:37,669 --> 00:46:41,298
"Come on into Mamaw's house,
and go back and get in Mamaw's bed,

751
00:46:41,381 --> 00:46:43,300
and take this bucket of chicken with ya."

752
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,722
"Take this bucket of chicken with ya
and this little bag of mini marshmallows."

753
00:46:49,932 --> 00:46:52,017
"And wallow in Mamaw's bed."

754
00:46:53,268 --> 00:46:56,230
"And watch Disney
until 3:00 a.m. in the morning."

755
00:46:57,731 --> 00:47:01,235
I do the same thing, honey.
I do the same thing.

756
00:47:03,195 --> 00:47:04,029
I know.

757
00:47:05,447 --> 00:47:07,074
I know.

758
00:47:07,825 --> 00:47:09,827
Who doesn't love chicken in the bed?

759
00:47:11,245 --> 00:47:14,957
And let me tell y'all that we beg them
all the time to go on vacation with us.

760
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,333
We want these babies.

761
00:47:16,416 --> 00:47:18,460
I want all my children
and my babies with me.

762
00:47:18,544 --> 00:47:21,922
And let me tell you
that I'm a beach person.

763
00:47:22,589 --> 00:47:24,800
I'm a beach person.

764
00:47:24,883 --> 00:47:29,054
And y'all have it made here.
Y'all do. I hope y'all know that.

765
00:47:29,137 --> 00:47:34,560
If I hit it big someday,
I would love to be at the beach.

766
00:47:34,643 --> 00:47:37,729
But Chuck Morgan doesn't believe in joy.

767
00:47:37,813 --> 00:47:38,772
So…

768
00:47:43,235 --> 00:47:47,239
His favorite vacation is snow skiing.

769
00:47:47,865 --> 00:47:53,203
And so when we met in college, he said,
"I'm gonna raise my children snow skiing."

770
00:47:53,287 --> 00:47:56,290
And I thought, "Ooh, what is that?"

771
00:47:56,373 --> 00:47:58,917
Because I didn't know much about it,

772
00:47:59,001 --> 00:48:00,961
'cause I was raised
in a town of 500 people

773
00:48:01,044 --> 00:48:04,631
on the Kentucky-Tennessee border,
and people don't snow ski there.

774
00:48:04,715 --> 00:48:07,759
And I remember seeing it
every once in a while on TV and thinking,

775
00:48:07,843 --> 00:48:09,845
"That must be the queen and her people."

776
00:48:12,055 --> 00:48:14,474
But anyway, Chuck Morgan, when we married,

777
00:48:14,558 --> 00:48:18,478
he wanted me to learn,
and so he bought me a really nice outfit.

778
00:48:18,562 --> 00:48:19,730
One of those ski outfits.

779
00:48:19,813 --> 00:48:23,025
And y'all know if you snow ski,
all that stuff is very expensive,

780
00:48:23,108 --> 00:48:25,485
so I had to wear that for 15 years.

781
00:48:31,033 --> 00:48:32,993
And I did not keep my weight down.

782
00:48:34,703 --> 00:48:39,458
So the first time I went, he sent me
to beautiful Beaver Creek, Colorado.

783
00:48:39,541 --> 00:48:41,460
That is beautiful, I know.

784
00:48:41,543 --> 00:48:44,922
And he put me in ski school
with a group of people,

785
00:48:45,005 --> 00:48:47,549
and our instructor
looked like Mitt Romney.

786
00:48:48,050 --> 00:48:51,386
And I was up on that mountain,
and I wanted to be…

787
00:48:51,470 --> 00:48:58,477
I had on my outfit, and I wanted to be
that thin, young, cute, fun ski girl.

788
00:48:59,269 --> 00:49:00,103
Okay.

789
00:49:00,604 --> 00:49:03,357
A big old cold front came in.

790
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,652
Some big weather front came in,
and snow was blowing sideways.

791
00:49:06,735 --> 00:49:08,654
You couldn't see your hand in front of ya.

792
00:49:08,737 --> 00:49:11,114
And Mitt looked at all of us and said,

793
00:49:12,199 --> 00:49:13,784
"If we get down…"

794
00:49:17,871 --> 00:49:20,082
"If we get down this mountain,

795
00:49:20,165 --> 00:49:23,168
I'm gonna have to check
y'all's noses for frostbite."

796
00:49:24,378 --> 00:49:26,588
"It's 19 below zero."

797
00:49:27,089 --> 00:49:29,591
And I remember thinking, "Fun?"

798
00:49:30,384 --> 00:49:32,594
"What are we doing up here?" Okay.

799
00:49:32,678 --> 00:49:34,179
The next time I got to go,

800
00:49:34,262 --> 00:49:37,474
we waited until our little children
were three, five, and seven,

801
00:49:37,557 --> 00:49:39,935
and Chuck Morgan came to me and said,

802
00:49:40,018 --> 00:49:44,564
"I'm gonna take y'all from Tennessee
to Colorado for a week for snow skiing."

803
00:49:44,648 --> 00:49:47,401
And the only thing
that I can compare that to

804
00:49:48,151 --> 00:49:50,153
would be maybe working in a coal mine.

805
00:49:56,034 --> 00:49:58,704
I've never worked in a coal mine,
but it looks bad.

806
00:50:00,956 --> 00:50:03,000
So, this is my take on snow skiing.

807
00:50:03,083 --> 00:50:06,378
At the mountain,
that's where the hoop-de-do people are.

808
00:50:06,461 --> 00:50:09,798
That's where they rent and own
and ski in and ski out,

809
00:50:09,881 --> 00:50:11,591
and they all look like Bo Derek.

810
00:50:13,051 --> 00:50:15,637
Chuck Morgan likes to roll on a budget.

811
00:50:16,138 --> 00:50:20,100
He likes to rent an apartment
about three towns away from the mountain.

812
00:50:22,936 --> 00:50:26,231
So we all go out there,
and every morning, he would get up

813
00:50:26,314 --> 00:50:28,567
and start saying,
"We gotta get on that ski lift."

814
00:50:28,650 --> 00:50:31,528
"I paid all this money. We gotta go.
We gotta get up there. Everybody."

815
00:50:31,611 --> 00:50:32,904
And these little children,

816
00:50:33,405 --> 00:50:34,531
stunned.

817
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:36,116
Wake up.

818
00:50:36,199 --> 00:50:38,660
And then I had to get
all those little children dressed

819
00:50:38,744 --> 00:50:39,870
with all those layers.

820
00:50:39,953 --> 00:50:42,372
All those layers. Long underwear.

821
00:50:42,456 --> 00:50:45,542
Going down the line,
trying to get kids dressed,

822
00:50:45,625 --> 00:50:47,961
and they were half asleep, flopping.

823
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,679
By the time I got 'em dressed,
I felt like I had hoed an acre of tobacco.

824
00:50:59,890 --> 00:51:02,142
And then I'd have
to make lunch for everybody

825
00:51:02,225 --> 00:51:05,771
because three chicken tenders
cost $45 up on that mountain.

826
00:51:08,899 --> 00:51:12,736
And then it'd be time to get on
that shuttle to ride up to the mountain,

827
00:51:12,819 --> 00:51:16,615
and we'd have to carry everybody's stuff
'cause they were little bitty children.

828
00:51:16,698 --> 00:51:20,994
They'd go, "I can't hold my helmet.
I can't carry anything."

829
00:51:21,078 --> 00:51:24,289
"I've lost my gloves.
I don't know where anything is."

830
00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:28,960
And we were packed like pack mules
trying to get everything on that shuttle.

831
00:51:30,545 --> 00:51:32,798
Then I'd have to put ski boots
on little children.

832
00:51:32,881 --> 00:51:35,884
They'd go, "No, Mommy, no.
Don't put those ski boots on me."

833
00:51:35,967 --> 00:51:37,886
And I don't blame 'em.

834
00:51:37,969 --> 00:51:40,222
Have y'all ever had a ski boot on?

835
00:51:40,305 --> 00:51:43,642
Every time I've ever put one on,
I think, "My shins are bleeding."

836
00:51:49,564 --> 00:51:52,859
"My boots are filling up with blood.
I can feel it."

837
00:51:55,362 --> 00:51:56,863
Here's one of the memories I have.

838
00:51:56,947 --> 00:52:00,242
This baby child back here that's
my makeup artist and travels with me,

839
00:52:00,325 --> 00:52:02,661
she says now she's my caregiver.

840
00:52:05,288 --> 00:52:06,748
She kinda is.

841
00:52:07,290 --> 00:52:09,876
But she has been a joy.
That's my third baby.

842
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:14,172
And, uh, she's been a joy and so funny,
but she's been a booger.

843
00:52:14,256 --> 00:52:16,967
She's been a booger, honey.
She does what she wants to.

844
00:52:17,050 --> 00:52:21,012
She has since she was 18 months old.
You can't do a thing with her.

845
00:52:21,096 --> 00:52:24,182
And we were skiing.
She was probably four or five that year.

846
00:52:24,266 --> 00:52:27,519
And I bought her, you know,
a hot pink outfit from Lands' End.

847
00:52:27,602 --> 00:52:29,020
I was so tickled.

848
00:52:29,104 --> 00:52:31,314
Everybody had gone off skiing.
It was just me and her.

849
00:52:31,398 --> 00:52:33,984
We were going in the little gondola
up to the bunny slope,

850
00:52:34,067 --> 00:52:36,945
and it doesn't take long
to get up there to that bunny slope.

851
00:52:37,028 --> 00:52:38,488
Nobody else was on that gondola,

852
00:52:38,572 --> 00:52:41,408
and she starts
taking all of her clothes off.

853
00:52:42,534 --> 00:52:45,453
Everything. I'm talking everything.

854
00:52:45,537 --> 00:52:48,498
In two seconds, she's nude.

855
00:52:48,582 --> 00:52:49,916
And I…

856
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,751
I go, "What are you doing?"

857
00:52:52,335 --> 00:52:54,212
And she said, "My butthole itches."

858
00:53:04,764 --> 00:53:06,349
And I remember…

859
00:53:06,433 --> 00:53:08,143
I remember praying.

860
00:53:08,226 --> 00:53:10,478
I remember praying to the Lord

861
00:53:10,979 --> 00:53:13,565
and saying, "Dear Lord,

862
00:53:14,357 --> 00:53:16,651
what did I do that was so bad…"

863
00:53:18,737 --> 00:53:20,780
"…that this is my vacation now?"

864
00:53:23,533 --> 00:53:25,952
So then I just looked at her, and I said,

865
00:53:26,661 --> 00:53:27,662
"Scratch it."

866
00:53:35,921 --> 00:53:39,007
We try to go every year 'cause
Chuck Morgan and the children love it.

867
00:53:39,090 --> 00:53:40,175
All my kids love it.

868
00:53:40,258 --> 00:53:43,762
But the last time I was on skis,
I was 47 years old.

869
00:53:43,845 --> 00:53:45,388
Now I'm 59.

870
00:53:45,472 --> 00:53:49,559
And I had… We were going to Alta, Utah,
which is beautiful.

871
00:53:49,643 --> 00:53:51,519
And I had on that tight outfit.

872
00:53:53,563 --> 00:53:55,440
And I was going up the ski lift.

873
00:53:55,523 --> 00:53:57,400
I was on the ski lift, about to get off,

874
00:53:57,484 --> 00:53:59,527
and I had every intention
of skiing that year.

875
00:53:59,611 --> 00:54:01,696
I had on everything. I was ready to go.

876
00:54:01,780 --> 00:54:05,075
And I know how to get off a ski lift.
And I know how to ski.

877
00:54:05,158 --> 00:54:09,287
But something did not click that day,

878
00:54:09,371 --> 00:54:14,334
and I just fell off that ski lift
into the snow.

879
00:54:14,417 --> 00:54:17,963
And it… That thing kept going around,
so I just…

880
00:54:25,345 --> 00:54:28,014
And then this long-haired boy
that worked there,

881
00:54:28,098 --> 00:54:30,934
with this stuff
hanging out of his eyebrows,

882
00:54:31,434 --> 00:54:34,271
came up to me and said,

883
00:54:35,814 --> 00:54:36,815
"Get up."

884
00:54:45,323 --> 00:54:46,616
"Get up."

885
00:54:47,450 --> 00:54:50,912
And I'll just tell you boys
in Wilmington that

886
00:54:51,454 --> 00:54:53,164
I had let my core go.

887
00:54:54,374 --> 00:54:55,333
And…

888
00:55:01,172 --> 00:55:03,508
Real bad. Real bad.

889
00:55:03,591 --> 00:55:05,677
I had let my core go.

890
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,220
And I still had my skis on.

891
00:55:07,304 --> 00:55:09,723
I had to get my poles up
and try to do that.

892
00:55:10,223 --> 00:55:12,183
I don't know how I got up.
I don't remember.

893
00:55:12,267 --> 00:55:15,395
I feel like I blanked out
'cause I don't remember a thing.

894
00:55:15,979 --> 00:55:19,399
But my boy was standing over there
and saw the whole thing.

895
00:55:19,482 --> 00:55:20,525
My sweet boy.

896
00:55:20,608 --> 00:55:23,028
And I somehow
got to the top of that mountain,

897
00:55:23,111 --> 00:55:25,030
and he… he looked at me, and he goes,

898
00:55:25,655 --> 00:55:26,906
"You're okay."

899
00:55:27,615 --> 00:55:30,410
"Okay? You're okay, Mom."

900
00:55:30,910 --> 00:55:32,203
"You're okay."

901
00:55:32,954 --> 00:55:35,206
"Let's get down this mountain."
I went, "No."

902
00:55:37,625 --> 00:55:41,880
He said, "You're okay. Everything's fine."
I went, "No. God spoke to me."

903
00:55:44,215 --> 00:55:46,718
He said, "No, he didn't.
I said, "Yes, he did."

904
00:55:46,801 --> 00:55:49,220
"It was… it wasn't an audible voice."

905
00:55:49,721 --> 00:55:51,181
"It was in my heart."

906
00:55:51,681 --> 00:55:54,601
And he did. God spoke to me.
And I remember what he said.

907
00:55:54,684 --> 00:55:57,854
He said, "Get off these things, Leanne."
That's what he said.

908
00:56:00,315 --> 00:56:02,317
And then I think he said,

909
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,195
"Go sit down at that pizza shack
for the rest of the week."

910
00:56:06,488 --> 00:56:07,405
I was like,

911
00:56:08,031 --> 00:56:08,907
"Okay."

912
00:56:10,283 --> 00:56:12,577
Okay, y'all have been darling.

913
00:56:12,660 --> 00:56:15,497
And let me tell you, okay, it's 8:30 now.

914
00:56:15,580 --> 00:56:18,792
I'm gonna have y'all in the bed by 9:15.

915
00:56:18,875 --> 00:56:20,460
Okay?

916
00:56:20,543 --> 00:56:22,337
I'm gonna have y'all in the bed.

917
00:56:25,590 --> 00:56:29,552
So if y'all got a melatonin or a magnesium
in your purse…

918
00:56:30,845 --> 00:56:34,182
…hold on. Give me a few more minutes
and then you can take it.

919
00:56:34,265 --> 00:56:37,852
Okay, I've got one more thing
to tell y'all, and then y'all can go home.

920
00:56:37,936 --> 00:56:40,647
And y'all have been precious.
Thank y'all for doing this for me.

921
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:44,067
Thank you.

922
00:56:45,652 --> 00:56:46,945
Thank y'all.

923
00:56:47,987 --> 00:56:48,863
Okay.

924
00:56:48,947 --> 00:56:51,491
Chuck Morgan and I
were both raised in church.

925
00:56:51,574 --> 00:56:54,160
I wanted to raise my children in church,
and he did too.

926
00:56:54,244 --> 00:56:58,790
And I'm not saying that, y'all,
to say, "I raised my children in church."

927
00:56:59,332 --> 00:57:00,875
I'm saying to y'all

928
00:57:00,959 --> 00:57:03,128
that we are so dysfunctional.

929
00:57:04,629 --> 00:57:07,298
We are so messed up and dysfunctional

930
00:57:07,382 --> 00:57:10,760
that I don't know what would have happened
to us if we had not had the Lord.

931
00:57:10,844 --> 00:57:12,470
I mean it.

932
00:57:14,472 --> 00:57:15,390
I know.

933
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:18,726
I know.

934
00:57:19,436 --> 00:57:22,313
I know. Hallelujah. We have the Lord.

935
00:57:22,397 --> 00:57:25,483
But let me tell y'all
that I believe that Satan

936
00:57:25,984 --> 00:57:28,736
did not want my family to go to church.

937
00:57:29,904 --> 00:57:32,115
So he would come to our house

938
00:57:32,740 --> 00:57:34,492
every Sunday morning

939
00:57:34,993 --> 00:57:37,412
so he could stir up some shat.

940
00:57:42,542 --> 00:57:45,795
Chuck Morgan and I would fight
every Sunday morning

941
00:57:45,879 --> 00:57:48,715
just like two rabid dogs in the yard.

942
00:57:49,257 --> 00:57:52,719
And I'm ashamed to tell y'all that,
but this is what we would fight over.

943
00:57:52,802 --> 00:57:55,722
I like to be at church on time.

944
00:57:56,431 --> 00:57:59,225
I like to get to church before it starts.

945
00:58:00,226 --> 00:58:04,606
Chuck Morgan is a very successful person
and very anal-retentive and type A,

946
00:58:04,689 --> 00:58:07,567
and everything is just so, so, so
in his life.

947
00:58:07,650 --> 00:58:09,152
Except time.

948
00:58:10,612 --> 00:58:13,072
He has no conception of time.

949
00:58:13,156 --> 00:58:16,826
Everywhere we have ever been in 34 years,
we've been late.

950
00:58:16,910 --> 00:58:21,247
And I'm… I'm an on-time person,
so it's really been a struggle.

951
00:58:21,331 --> 00:58:26,169
Okay. I would be sitting
in a minivan in the driveway

952
00:58:26,252 --> 00:58:29,047
with the motor running
with three little children.

953
00:58:29,130 --> 00:58:31,799
Chuck Morgan would be standing
at the kitchen sink

954
00:58:31,883 --> 00:58:33,635
peeling an apple in his underwear.

955
00:58:42,310 --> 00:58:45,271
And I would be furious.

956
00:58:45,939 --> 00:58:48,149
Eventually he would come out,
and I'd be so mad.

957
00:58:48,233 --> 00:58:51,903
I'd be pitted out,
and I'd be like, "It's already started."

958
00:58:51,986 --> 00:58:54,489
It would've already started.
I'm like, "We might as well not go."

959
00:58:54,572 --> 00:58:57,492
"We might as well go back in the house."
Then he'd… back at me.

960
00:58:57,575 --> 00:59:00,411
Okay. Here's another thing
about Chuck Morgan.

961
00:59:00,495 --> 00:59:03,623
Every time we've ever had a fight,
he acts like it never happened.

962
00:59:04,123 --> 00:59:07,460
Never wants to talk about it.
Do not mention it.

963
00:59:07,544 --> 00:59:09,087
Poof, it's gone.

964
00:59:11,464 --> 00:59:12,465
I…

965
00:59:13,883 --> 00:59:15,885
I like to resolve conflict.

966
00:59:22,809 --> 00:59:26,271
I like to talk it over and over and over.

967
00:59:27,647 --> 00:59:29,899
And then I like to hang on to it.

968
00:59:31,192 --> 00:59:32,610
Push it down.

969
00:59:33,111 --> 00:59:35,113
Get it back out if I need it.

970
00:59:39,075 --> 00:59:42,287
We would finally get to church.
It would be halfway over.

971
00:59:42,370 --> 00:59:44,872
We would get these little children
in a Sunday school class,

972
00:59:44,956 --> 00:59:47,625
and their teachers
would look at us like, "Do better."

973
00:59:49,127 --> 00:59:51,421
And then I'd finally get in a pew
with Chuck Morgan,

974
00:59:51,504 --> 00:59:53,339
and he'd start petting on me

975
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,050
and looking at me
like he wanted to make out with me.

976
00:59:58,928 --> 01:00:00,597
And he would say, "What's wrong?"

977
01:00:03,349 --> 01:00:06,019
I'd say, "I'm calling
a therapist tomorrow."

978
01:00:07,604 --> 01:00:09,147
This is how it would start.

979
01:00:09,230 --> 01:00:11,441
Every Sunday morning, I would get up.

980
01:00:11,524 --> 01:00:15,486
I was the young mama, so I would get up
before everybody in the dark

981
01:00:15,570 --> 01:00:17,155
so that I could start getting ready.

982
01:00:17,238 --> 01:00:19,866
I wanted to take my bath
and blow my hair out

983
01:00:19,949 --> 01:00:21,659
and put my makeup on, my pantyhose.

984
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:24,912
Back then, I wore pantyhose
and a dress to church.

985
01:00:24,996 --> 01:00:26,914
Then I would get
my three little children up,

986
01:00:26,998 --> 01:00:29,626
and I'd get them dressed and fed
all by myself

987
01:00:29,709 --> 01:00:33,212
because my husband was young
and his frontal lobe had not developed.

988
01:00:38,676 --> 01:00:41,971
And then, eventually,
Chuck Morgan would get up

989
01:00:42,055 --> 01:00:44,932
and pop his boxers and…

990
01:00:51,856 --> 01:00:53,149
…cough up something.

991
01:00:59,238 --> 01:01:02,950
Chuck Morgan doesn't use a lot of words.
He doesn't like to talk.

992
01:01:03,034 --> 01:01:04,994
He'd start staring at me

993
01:01:05,995 --> 01:01:07,955
and doing something like this.

994
01:01:13,586 --> 01:01:15,254
And I knew what that meant.

995
01:01:16,422 --> 01:01:18,341
I think it's 'cause I'd had a bath.

996
01:01:20,968 --> 01:01:22,929
And I had to decide.

997
01:01:23,012 --> 01:01:24,597
It was up to me.

998
01:01:24,681 --> 01:01:26,808
Is it gonna be a good Sunday?

999
01:01:27,684 --> 01:01:30,269
Are we gonna get to go eat chicken
after church?

1000
01:01:31,854 --> 01:01:34,023
Or is it gonna be a bad Sunday?

1001
01:01:34,524 --> 01:01:37,652
And Satan's gonna cuss
all the way in the minivan to church.

1002
01:01:40,279 --> 01:01:41,656
It's up to me.

1003
01:01:42,323 --> 01:01:44,534
And my little children like chicken.

1004
01:01:47,954 --> 01:01:50,123
So I would say to their daddy…

1005
01:01:50,957 --> 01:01:53,084
And just think,
church is already starting.

1006
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:56,546
I'd say to their daddy…

1007
01:02:06,347 --> 01:02:07,306
"Okay."

1008
01:02:13,271 --> 01:02:14,689
"Meet me in the closet."

1009
01:02:18,568 --> 01:02:19,944
"You've got three minutes."

1010
01:02:22,029 --> 01:02:24,615
"I'm only taking one leg
out of these pantyhose."

1011
01:02:26,284 --> 01:02:28,119
Thank y'all so much!

1012
01:02:28,202 --> 01:02:31,372
Thank y'all! Thank y'all!

1013
01:02:31,956 --> 01:02:33,040
Thank y'all!

1014
01:02:34,542 --> 01:02:35,501
Thank y'all!

1015
01:02:36,085 --> 01:02:38,963
Thank y'all!
I'm gonna bring out my family!

1016
01:02:49,724 --> 01:02:51,100
My baby.
