204: Life Lessons with Nanny Faye

Welcome back to this week's episode of Unlocked and I'm pretty sure I have your favorite guest on today, Nanny Faye, and I am so happy to be with my little granddaughter Savannah that I love dearly and so we're ready to have fun. Yes, we're ready to have fun today. We have talked about all the things. First off, you've come on my podcast Unlocked, you've gone on Mom and Dad's podcast, Chris Lee Confessions 2.0, you've gone on the boys, and I feel like we've touched on everything, but I feel like today we're going to touch on some things that maybe you haven't talked about before. Well, if I won't talk about it, I'll talk about it. And what if you don't want to talk about it? I say we'll talk about something else. Just come come with something else. Well, the other day, Nanny, we were talking about Papa, and for people that don't know, my Papa Jean, he and I were really close. Like Chase would always go to Nanny Pam and Papa Harvey's. I would always come to y'all's house. And when it comes to you and Papa, like that's the only man you've ever held hands with. That's my first love. First love and the only man that I've ever been with in my life. That's insane. And how old were you? 19. And how old was Papa? 29. See y'all, I get it honest. I get it. No, in there are 12 year difference. No, I'm just 10. OK, sometimes a little bit like toward 11. OK, see, I get it honest. You liked older men. And he was great. Good looking. He was a good father and especially could grandfather. Oh, yeah, dad said like he was a totally different grandfather than he was father. Oh, he would always when Todd took y'all's bottle and y'all would be crying for a bottle. If he couldn't still one out of the house, he'd go buy one and go buy somewhere in Washington, put you some milk in it, ride your family to get you to the belly full. Just keep ride on going. Papa was great. And when it comes to, you know, mom and dad and where they grew up. And where you raised dad, tell us, you know, Westminster, South Carolina, go back to that time. Well, Westminster was a little small town. It still is, but it's a great town to raise your children. We didn't have no lot of violence going on. You know, such thing as drugs, you might, somebody might drink beer, but that's about the extent of it. And is that where you grew up or now? I grew up about 15 miles above it in the country. And it was called a little town Madison. And then they consolidate our little town to Westminster. Okay. And so how would you grew up? How, what was that like? Well, I had a hard life, but a good life. I was raised on an 88 car farm. We grew cotton, sugar cane, wheat. We grew everything that we ate. We had cattle that we did a dairy milk and so to all dairy place. If they came by every morning, we got up at four o'clock and went to the barn and milked the cows. Took the big old containers, like five gallon containers up to the road. And they came by and picked it up and delivered the next one. So that's the way our life was. And growing up, like, what is something that your mama taught you that you still do today? She always taught me to be kind, be good. And I always see the best in someone because she said, there's good in everybody. Yeah. And she taught us to work. She said, there's four things we're going to do in this house. How girls? She said, you go mind me. You're going to do what I tell you to do. And you're going to work, go to school, go to church. That's the thing is she said, we was going to do. And we did it. They raised 14. Oh my God, what? And see my mother died when I was four. My brother was about 17 months old. And so they took us never once. Did she ever sell? God, I wish I had not taken you all because I'm too old. Never. She said, I did for y'all everything but heavy. And she didn't feel like you felt that she was always kind. Never fuss. We always had devotion every night. And they were no my grandpa never hollered at my grandma. I never heard him ever say anything to her. And she never said anything to him. They had the little country's store. We was kind of known as the rich country folks because we had the store. And we had, I never moved till I married. That is crazy. I still lived in the same house from time I can remember till I married. And it was always, you knew that she was going to be home every day when we got off that bus. We was going to change our clothes. And we were going to do chores. It wasn't chores, it was work. Yeah, it was real work. And so as a little girl, what were you like? Were you quiet? Were you loud? No, I don't ever remember being loud because you know what, in school, I never got any trouble. And now when I was about 15, you know, we was in church. All the young kids I always said on about three seats, filled the whole backs of the church up on three pews. And now I wasn't talking. But my grandparents, they said on the third seat from the front. And the preacher called them down and my mama did like this. And come back around. So when I got home, she said, well, since you don't know how to behave in church, you're going to sit with me for a while. So I had to sit on the third from the front for months and months. It wasn't a one time. It was months. But I didn't do anything. It was the others talking. It's always nanny doesn't do anything. I didn't talk in church, but I said, I didn't tell you how long I sit up there. But that's okay. Look what they raised. A charm. Never got any trouble ever. Well, that is a fact. You are a charm. And so then, you know, fast forward. What? You were 18, 19 years old when you met Papa? Yeah. And how'd you and Papa meet his sister? Okay. And she was my friend. Okay. See, I worked my senior year in high school. And that's when I met Mary. You know, you look alike. And so I met him and she was beautiful. Kind. And she'd give you somebody needs a jacket and she had one. Don't you give it to you? That's just what you want. And she used to go home with me so she could sleep. She would come up to Mama's. So she could sleep neat, good. And so that's how me and her met. And that's how I met Jean. But you know what? I wouldn't trade it for a million. But when you met him for the first time, we just talk. You know, he wasn't never no talker. Me and Mary talk. So he kind of lied me because I talked all the time. And so, and he worked in a cotton mill in the weaving department. But I never seen him because I worked in a cloth department. Okay. And when he'd come up to the house to get me and would go to Westminster. And sometimes he would eat dinner with us. And he always said, all this is the cleanest country house I ever been in in my life because he grew up in town. That's why they didn't know how to ever do anything. Well, they didn't. They just know how to work. But they didn't know how to work on a farm. Go out and plant nothing. They never didn't have that. But you know, I just kind of fell in with the family. They love me and I love them. And I'm the last of the Mohican. That's crazy. And so Papa, obviously 10 years older than you, was that a big deal at that time or now? How do you even think you think about it? Even, you know, Julie used to say, you know, because he was older than me, that, you know, that was kind of, I guess she was never, and I wasn't either. But my grandpa was about seven years older than my grandma. Okay. So that was normal. So we didn't think you think about it. Okay. We just had our children. We were, we moved on in life. And when I started the podcast, I stated how Papa was the only person you've ever held hands with, kissed. And today's day and age, that is on, let's say, uncommon, unheard of. Yeah. Very unheard of. And so what, how long was it from the time you all met when you got married? Probably about a year. Okay. And we would go to Westminster, he'd come and get me and see. You knew you didn't make very much. - Yeah. - And we would go to a little, it's called Shorty's Restaurant, and we'd get a ham sandwich, and we'd share that ham sandwich. - Oh my God. And so that was like, and then when you all got married, where'd you get married? - It's preacher's house. - No way. - Yeah. You got married, and then you started having kids. - Well, I didn't have time for about two years after I married. - Oh, geez, see, you waited. - I never did get pregnant. That's how long it's late. - I never did. So the first time, Nanny, you had sex with Papa was on your wedding night. - Yeah, or did you do it before, don't you? - No, sorry to God. - Really? - Yeah. I say we didn't do things bad back in our day. Did you even know what to do? - No, I scared. - Sov! - And you know what, he said, we used to watch it, low-redder and do movie. He said that you just like low-redder. - What happened? You got to tell me that. - How much am I gonna talk about that? - No, Nanny, you had to. - No, I cannot. - Nanny, what do you mean you were scared? - I listen, I listen. I'm not gonna talk about that. You've been married, you know, all about it. - But Nanny, frankly, it's being scared. What were you scared of? - I guess what I was fixing the face. I'm like, "Yes." Did you work through, clearly you worked through the scaredness. - Well, almost 50 years, I guess I did. I cannot. Well, again, I think we need more people. In today's day and age, I think we'd be better off if more people were scared to have sex. - Well, it makes you adjust to be married. - Yeah. Unlocked is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Nanny's like so old school. She thinks when you get married, it should just be the two of you and no outside communication. - No, I don't mean that. I don't mean that. I mean that you don't need to be inviting them over to your house all the time. You don't need to be doing activities with them all the time. That should be a rare occasion because when you get married, my mother told me, I don't want Jean to ask her 'cause she married me, he said, "Well," she said. Well, I really don't want her to get married, but I can't stop her because she's old enough. But if you can't be good to her, you bring her back where you got her. - Hmm, but you start thinking about you family, your home and your job. And the time when you do all that, you don't have time for outsiders. - I mean, that is true. Once you're focused on all the right things, it's like the time that you do have, it's like, all right, I want to go spend at home with my spouse or I want to spend time with my kids or there's only so many hours in a day. - Well, you think, when I had time, I took him to Woodsies, I went by and picked him up, I came home, I fixed supper, I bathed him, fed him, got him ready for a bath, and time you do your work and get his little backpack for in the morning to go to Woodsies. - What's Woodsies? - That was her name is Woods. - Oh, okay. - She kept about three children. - Okay. You know, you always hear you daddy talk about the Woodsies one of the binds. - Yes, yes. - His sister. - Can you please tell that story? - Well, her sister, Maddie, she didn't have any children, but one son, and so she loved Todd so much, she would come and hold him for hours, miss Woods, and so one day, Fad Woods was there. His, her husband, and he's told me he's set off. Fad will give you whatever you won't for him. I said, "Oh my God, he's not for sale." And they said, "Well, we'll give you anything you want." He had more land and money than most anybody in Oklahoma and the county had. He said, "But you name your price and we'll give it to you, so you want to make his wife happy." Now, his son owns the Chevrolet dealerships and son of current. - No way. - And they, they want to buy him. - That is crazy that you're thinking like. - Yeah, back to that time, and they're saying, "Hey, let me buy your child." - Yeah, like I used to for sale. But she would come and sit for hours and hours. - That is crazy. - And hold him, and the rest of the babies, she'd never miss Woods, she didn't pay them any attention. But she would hold him and so my God, I love him so much. He is so pretty. - That is hilarious, I totally forgot about that. And so, speaking of dad, being a mother, obviously, to three boys, 'cause you, you know, you were, you had dad, Uncle Randy, and Eric. And that was, what you know, I don't even know, people don't realize, people see you, and they see how full of life you are, and how positive, and you're always laughing, and you're trying to, you always do right by people, like it does not matter. But people don't realize the things that you've gone through in your life. - Well, I've gone through some hard times, but it makes you stronger, 'cause you come out on the other end, a better person, because you see, and you walk with people, it's going through sometimes the same things you are. And they'll never go to bed thinking that things can't get better, because they can. - Yeah, and you know, a lot of women, a lot of families do deal with loss, and so you did have a son that you lost as a baby. - Then three months old. - How did you deal with that? - Well, it's the most empty, and it's feeling that you're ever having in your life. But you know where he is. I don't have to worry who he is. He didn't have to go through growing up, and facing things that kids have to face, not there wasn't things like they are now. - Do you look at it as a way of like, all right, God knew something worse was coming? - No, I never felt like that, I just felt like. Well, I always would get up the morning when I take my shower, and I begin to go to work. I'd always say, "Dear Jesus, there's nothing going to come my way today that you and I are not going to be able to handle." So I had to always just have that thing. In my mind, he took mine, 'cause he says, "I will take them in a suckling in Memphis to get my part." So I have to know where he is. Do I think about him every day of my life? And what he would be doing, what he would be looking like. But you know what? You never get over it. But you have the empty space. And that's what I tell you children when you all want me about my favorites. I say, "I don't have any favorites "because I have enough room in my heart for everyone." - You do have favorites, Nanny. - No, I don't, I don't have any favorites. Sometimes some of my mates, I say piss me off, but you know, I don't ever let 'em buy. When y'all was growing up and we played spores, we got out and played, I didn't let y'all win. - No, you didn't. - No, you had to earn the win. - Yeah. - 'Cause I feel like that's where you have to make 'em get ready for life, to face what you're gonna have to face. Because listen, every day you get up, it's not gonna be a good day. It's good 'cause God gave it to you, but they gonna be some things in your life today, you're not gonna like. And some things you gotta put up with. Some things you gotta make a decision about. But when you make a bad decision, you know what? Like I used to tell Todd Randy, when they'd be begging me for something, I said go ask your daddy. Aw, if I gotta ask him, I'm not gonna do it. That's what we would say. But you know what, I would say. Well, if you don't ask him, then I don't guess you're gonna do it. Mama, please, I said listen, you know, sometimes I don't even like y'all. I said, but I love y'all the time, but sometimes I just can't even hardly stand you. Well, which one of, which one, dad or Randy, which one was the hardest? Well, both of my children never caused any problems 'til they got grown. And they ran some shit. Well, when it's about 12 years old, I still win his car. I mean, you didn't pop up. What's up? We were working. And Wendy would spend the night with them. And they was like 12, 11, 12 years old. And she'd park her car out of his driveway. Well, when she'd go to bed, they'd get up and go down to the McDonalds and talk with him, legs wasn't long with me, reach the gas and rent it, press the gas, and they'd go down the road. Can you imagine it 11 o'clock at night if they had a police on the column or they'd have killed theirself? Yeah. But when Wendy told Gene, she said, gee, I bet there's something going on. He said, my guess is going away. And he said, huh? Well, we had a neighbor up on the hill, told him. Stop. Yeah. And so he'd called a man. He said, you better not lie to me. 'Cause if you do, it's gonna be worse. And he asked him, did they take Wendy's car? Todd, yeah. (laughing) Well, he stole the truth. Yeah, because he never, this was very little. It's mostly me. And you know, when he'd take their car keys and we'd be coming home from work and he'd had them two or three days, whichever one it was, I'd say, I believe he oughta give Todd his keys back. He probably wanted to, but he didn't want to admit it. But he didn't want to blame me for it. He said, well, I'm gonna give him that keys when I get home, but when they get in trouble, don't you come crying to me? I cannot, dad would do the same thing with us growing up. The exact same thing. And so speaking of Papa, Papa passed away July 11th of 2012. So we just came up on 14 years, two weeks ago. It's hard to believe that it's been 14 years. I told Julie the day that he passed away. I said, you know what? It's just hard for me to believe that time has won away that fast, that he's been gone. But I think about it every day. And sometimes when things not going like I wanted to, I just feel so sad and so all alone that I can't just go talk to him 'cause he was my friend. And we could talk about anything. Yeah. And especially too though, when good stuff is happening, I know. You know we're talking about the other day. I'm proud that it would be. Yeah. And you know what, he, my parents never allowed you to play omades in a house, a deck of cards. And I think about now me going to a casino. My mom would say, oh my God, I taught you better than that. That's what she would probably say. But you know, Jean, he was in the military, so he learned to play cars. And then, you know, when the kids got grown, then we went to Atlanta and see-- Y'all would always go to the casino. Yeah. Well, y'all grew up, but we didn't use to. But they were in high school before we ever did. Visit GoodGirlRx.com and use code Unlocked15 to get 15% off at checkout. Medical care is provided by licensed physicians, not all patients qualify.

And let's face it, most marriages don't even last 14 years these days. You know, like, isn't that so crazy to think? But you got to work on a marriage, just like a job. Yeah. And what? 'Cause now, too, it's like, I have friends who are widows at such a young age. How do you deal with that? How do you cope with that? Like, well, I don't ever think about it. You know, people ask me all the time, "Nanny, are you saying?" I thought that you would have had a friend by now. I said, "Well, I don't really need no friend." Now, I said, "I have all the fans and friends all over the world." So I don't really need anyone that makes me happy. I have my family. We were doing the show. And, you know, you just do, I never lived alone till he passed away. Yeah. 'Cause, you know, I live with my grandparents and, you know, all of them siblings. Yeah. And I never was alone till he passed away. And how hard was that? Oh, my God, that was the worst thing in the world besides losing my baby. Yeah. But, you know, I lived, well, Todd and Julie, for about three months said, "That big old blue chair in their big room." Yeah, you did. I prayed and cried. And I remember the last night that I stayed there, I prayed and cried. And I said, "Dude, Jesus, you took him. You didn't take me." So you left me here for a reason. So, opened the door and pushed me out. And let me know what you want me to do because I don't know what to do. Yeah. And next morning, I went in there and Todd was in the kitchen. He had the wood. Yeah. And I said, "I'm going home this morning." And he turned around and hugged me. He said, "Mommy, you don't ever have to go home." I said, "No, but the sun's gonna come up and the sun's gonna go down." I got to face it. And I got to get out here and do whatever. I feel like I need to do. Yeah. And so then you know, it came around with, you know, Rebecca always would come and get me every weekend, take me to dinner, even you know, after it happened. And that day that I left was going over to the house. She calls me. She said, "You want to go have lunch?" And I said, "Well, I got to go home and take a shower." She said, "Well, that's okay. I'll be by a pick you up and a little bit." She came by and picked me up. And we just had a good time, went up there to, to make a place above the house. You remember what it was? - Yeah. - And we just told him life. So she always would come back and stay with me two or three hours. So that's when she asked me about, if she didn't feel like I'd stay in that big house by myself. - Yeah. - And so she asked me about getting a place for me in Catherine. And so I told Julie, so that was the end of the story. You know, I kept her for four years. - You kept Catherine for four years. Isn't it crazy how God works? Like that's, you needed that. - She was good for me and I was good for her. - Yeah. - And she wasn't like a burden to me. You know, I love her. And I took care of her, and she died in my arms. When I told her you can let go, I'll miss you. But I'll be fine. She opened the big blue eyes. She said, "I love you." That's what she went. All that night, men, you're the lady Teresa that stayed with me. She said, "You taught me what real love was through all this." But look at God's place, Miss Savannah. That's so, to me, it's like, and I think it's easy to get so wrapped up in life, and you're worried about what you're doing right now. And for me, it's like, I forget all of these things. You know, like all the things that you've gone through, and how you've overcome it, and where you're at today, and how positive you are. And, well, I have to get up and know that I have. Now, my kids and grandbabies are good to me, and look at all the people that corresponds with me. Oh, yeah, all the people that she says are her friends. They are my friends. Nancy, you don't even know these people. You get random people, your phone number. No, I've got a normal wild for it, but that's okay. They call and check on me all the time. I can be going down the road, and people spot me. And they'll come up and blow the horn, and I'll just keep going right on down the road, and they get up too, too. I look at that, be taking pictures, and away with it. And they're good to me. And, you know, God put things in your life for a reason. Yeah. And, you know, look at how he's filled my heart with all these fans and friends. Yeah. I just met one from California that has a jewelry business, and I went on her little ouching thing Saturday, and oh, my God, they love it. Ah, that is hilarious. They didn't cost me anything. And so, I argue, would you say you're the same person on TV that you are in person? Whatever you say on TV, that's a lot of me. I'm not going to change. I couldn't be the true person that I am if I try to be something. I wouldn't even know how to act anyway, because I don't. I'm just me. And people love that, though. All right, so now we're talking about just life in general, okay? And you and I, we have a very close relationship. What do you see in me that worries you at times? The temper? The temper. I don't even have a temper. Oh, yeah, sometimes you are evil. What? You know, when you get mad, you say awful things. Daddy, what do I say? But not to me, but to other people, but not to me. What do I say? Well, I mean, you know, you can be kind of ugly sometimes. To give me an example of what I've said to somebody. Well, I don't want to go through all of it. No, tell me. I don't. Nope, you're telling me. No, I don't. You know, Savannah, you know you do. You say if don't be saying that. What do I say? Well, it depends on what the situation is. Give me one that comes to mind. What's the first situation that comes to mind? I don't, can't think of one right this moment. Because you don't know. Oh, I do, I know a lot. But I just can't think of one to fly over my head right this moment. If so, I was actually stupid. And I'm gonna say you're actually stupid. No, just keep your mouth shut. Move on without them. But I'm not. Uh-huh. That's right. But me, if people hear my feelings, and now, and say something about one of my family members, now I will come back at you. But me, talk to the hand, and I go right on about my business. I don't even let you bother me. I let that go down my back just like you pour water down a duck's back. So if someone says something about me, well, they're told. They're told. Yeah. What are you telling them? Depends on what they say. Now, I'm never lost for words. What if they said I'm a gold diggin' hoe? I'd say, well, you know, your business, if I got, well, she's God, I'd be doing it too. Listen, everybody's gonna dig for gold now. I am dying. Okay, when we was filming in Nevada, I was after trying to find me some gold, and after I painted, and y'all said, let's go. I just want me some silver gold. See? So y'all was digging for gold. If you got a brain, if you had, just lay back and not worry about it. Yeah. Some people don't worry. Wait on the gold. What did for something? It's not gold. So what do you see in me that you think pop up what have loved? You spear it, and kindness, and you're giving heart. You just saw it as evil though. No, I didn't mean it like that. I say when you get mad, you might say things that you shouldn't say. But maybe, have you ever thought maybe I'm just being honest? No. It'd be an ill, it's not honest. You're so ill that I say. Well, no. I don't. So that's not being evil? Well, just don't think so. Like if you're lazy and well, do nothing for your future. I am. I'm on your side with that. You know, I wouldn't want everybody to have a job. I don't like nobody. Nobody don't work. Okay. So, Nanny, when I'm, let's say your age, 82, 83 years old, what do you hope that I remember about you? Well, I'm honey. They so much mean you got into and said and done. Surely, I know you can't forget about me. And a lot of these things that you were doing like now, you're going to look back and it's going to bring a tear to your eye to think about that you got to do this with your Nanny and the things that you say. No, you know what's funny, which I don't think we've ever told this story. One of the moments I will always look back on and just like laugh and cry about is you came over to do laundry at my house because like Nanny always does laundry. She likes to be needed and I'm like, great, I need laundry done. So she always comes and does it. Like gambling money or whatever. And so she came over one morning. She came over one morning and the person that I'm with was there and they go outside to get to the pantry to get like headache medicine. And I guess didn't have clothes on and Nanny turns and sees him and she doesn't say a word. And he sees like the back of her and he's like, oh shit. And this is what anyone knew about him. And he comes back in. Next thing I know I get a text from Nanny and she goes, didn't realize you had company. I'll come back later. And she never has said a word to anybody. You didn't mention it to mom. You didn't mention it to dad. No. What did you think? I'm leaving you alone. That was scoring. No. Well, I just put my clothes in the laundry. And I said, I can't even say the washer. And I said, I'll just be back later. And I just went right back at my car and buy. And buy. Why do you not tell mom and dad stuff? Well, first of all, if he's really bad, then I would tell it like I used to tell y'all, don't come over here. We'll give you some gas. We'll give you a little bit of money. But don't go here and get them bunch of shit and bring our doorbells. 'Cause we're gonna tell them. And if it was bad, I would go tell them. But I mean, you're grown. You know, I can't do anything except tell you how I feel. And I didn't see what people do now. They do it every day. It's like an open book. Okay, this wasn't just like a one night stand with someone. Well, I didn't know that. I had never met him. I had met him then. I just went on. That made it even worse. So you probably just sent my granddaughters over here being a hoe. No. But couldn't find that. She'd been seeing him for months and months. Yeah. Because you didn't tell me. No. And you know, Nick was gone, moved on. So you know what? Life goes on. I'm not gonna be staring up something I don't know anything about. I didn't know. I didn't feel like he was no gangster or nothing like that. So I just moved on. 'Cause I know you aren't gonna put up or nothing like that. So what are we to do? Close the door. And wait on you. I didn't die. It wasn't like he was a gangster or nothing. Well, that's a good one. So before we wrap up, Nanny, two things. What are two things that you still want to do before you can't? I don't know if anything that I really want to do. That's a lie. I know. I would like to go to Italy. The way that you say it every time is hilarious. That was the number one thing on my mind that you've always wanted to do. But other than that, I mean, I've got to do a lot in my lifetime. Well, when we went on that trip to Canada, yeah. I loved every minute of that. And I still think about it. I have tons of pictures that I look at. and I shed a tear every once in a while. - Aww. - But I had the best time. And you were so good to me. And Nick was good to me. - Yeah. - And how he was always so caring that I wasn't gonna get hurt. - Oh, yeah. - All the time. - And you, when you bought me the hat, my fur hat. And my wife was coming down that slide and I said, "Oh my God, if I hadn't been quick "on the draw, I'd lost my head." But we had such a good time. And you know, we filmed all over the world. And we got to be together in life and play. And so I have, I had some sad moments here I have. But you don't want, I'm blessed every day. - I love that. - Just look at me, 82 years old. I can tell. - You're getting old. - I knew I said to Todd the other day, I said Todd. I don't know how to think, I ever got this old. - Yeah, and two, you're wanting to go on a GLP one. She started a little micro dose of it. - I know, but you're gonna have to up my dose. Well, at least I need to look good myself. Now you know, I said I wasn't never pretty, but I like to look good. - Well, you do. You always, you always get up and get ready. Sometimes you do. And then sometimes you throw in these little hats that make you look like you're riding the short bus. - Yeah, but I don't care. Sometimes I got things to do. And you know, when I got work to do, I can't be trying to be pretty. You know, when I got a sling a mop and clean a commode, I got things to do. - But Danny, oh my gosh y'all, I was staying at Mom and Dad's house the other day because I was waiting to move into my house. And it's like the ass crack of dawn. And Danny's vacuuming, vacuuming. Like kind of all the things you could have been doing. - I already cleaned up the kitchen. - Danny, I came downstairs and we were so much shit laying everywhere, but you chose to vacuum. - Well, I had to get, I've seen something on the floor and to get the vacuum cleaner and get it up. - Mm-hmm. - But now you know, I'm not gonna lay around when I got things to do. I can't, I get up, unload the dishwasher, or put up the dishes, make me some coffee. And face anything going around, I'm gonna be doing it. - You're also the only person I know that can make coffee and drink it and then fall asleep holding your cup of coffee. Like at night, you drink coffee. - If I can't sleep at night and I'm having trouble, I get up, make me a cup of coffee and go over and sit drinking, go to bed and go to sleep. - That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Craziest thing. And speaking of, it is Friday. So, are you gonna be home? - I don't know, I'm not, I'm not. You know, I have had a sore throat, but it's better so. - Oh, so now that it's Friday and you can go to the casino, it's better. - Yeah, no, they'd be hanging around. - Last night, nanny, you were on that door, doored style, but whatever. - I thought she was gonna have to go 90 miles an hour and tell me back to the hospital 'cause I was hurting so bad. But didn't it finally went away? - Yeah, but you should probably stay home in case you didn't have it at the hospital. - No, have it at the hospital. - Yeah, got a hospital up there. - No, wouldn't nobody up there? - Oh, I got plenty of people there. - Don't worry about me. Well, since I get to Evansville, don't worry about me. - Nanny, you stayed up for 48 hours straight just to win a few hundred bucks. I know what I think about what you tell me. He said, "Nanny, just take you 500 hours." I said, "Oh my God, I would never get to play." I had to go turn around, come back home. - But, do you gamble to make money or just 'cause you have fun? - Well, I want to make a little bit, but I have fun. - I need you away every minute. - What was your last big win? - Oh, yeah. I don't go to win a whole lot. - $15, $1,600. - That's a good bet. For you, like, you normally-- - Please, I got me a little bit of money over in my purse right now. - I've been at-- - Can I have it? - If you need it, but you don't need it. You need to put something in it. 'Cause I'm trying to get mine ready to go to the Bahamas. - Yeah, you're gonna drink you-- You know now, Danny, they have a casino that's on the beach, like, that's outside. - For not where men you always want? - No. - Like, at that same place. - I want the world to know how you used to take me to the Bahamas. When you could stay there, was it Bermara? - But, was it again? - I've whatever it was. - Bahamara? - Well, I can't say that yet. I just say Bermara, Bermara. - But, okay. - But, you used to-- You remember when you said, "Nanny, you wanna go?" - Yeah. - And you, 'cause you could stay for free. - Yeah. - We had a place, a plane ticket. - It was great. - And we'd go down there, and we had-- And you remember, 'cause, uh, at that, uh, I'd tell you in restaurant. - Yeah. - Because, uh, oh, yeah, you would go, and you would-- - And get the three meat balls, that's all I wanted. - Yeah, and then you would drink your pinia coladas. - Well, I'd just drink one every once in a while, but I like 'em. They don't care about the raw meat. I just like the coconut and the pineapple. - Oh, okay. - That's what I like. - Yeah. - Until you start falling into bushes. - No way. - Are you gonna sit now, it's like you did it. - Well, y'all said it, but I don't remember doing it. So anyway, I slip on the chair, and then I went through 'em room. - Did you admit it, and the two sons of me haven't said that came off right? - Yeah, see, you just admitted it. Well, I said, y'all, but I do like a pinia colada, but that's all. And you remember when we used to go to Mexico, to, oh, can come. - I mean, I don't, but I see the hideous pictures where y'all got me cornrows. - Yeah, you cried. Papa made 'em the later thing, so you could get 'em. - Like? - But you remember how we could go down there, we had that little bracelet, we could go to all those places. - Yeah. - And one night you said, "Danny, let's just go down and listen to the music, and we'll get us some strawberry dacaries." I said, "We can't drink those," because they got rum in 'em. You said, "No, Nanny," you said, "We can get 'em virgin." I didn't even know anything about a virgin. And I was going to Beluxe, he's then all the time, and I didn't even, I would've looked, I've had one, but it's got rum in, and then I learned you told me. - Yeah. - So you taught me that. - See, from such a young age. - Yeah. - So are we gonna end this by saying that I'm your favorite grandchild, basically? - Well, you at the top, but, you know, it's always my favorite. - What? - Yeah, you know, I told her the other night, I said that she's my favorite. - Okay, well, that's, this is actually the first time she's ever actually admitted it, but it is true. Y'all do everything together. - And she's so precious, and so good. - All right, well, screw it. Glass-clay for some gambling money. - If she had it, we got it, she's got a card, but we can't ever use it. (laughing) I'm done. I love you, Nanny. - I love you, too. - Hello, and welcome to Pluto Fall. If you know the name of the movie you'd like to see, just stream it for free on Pluto TV.
