Todd Chrisley: hands clasped, leaning forward Pleeease, you know this ain't right! Can we talk about this ooover coffee?
Ok ok. I'll make the story more interesting.
Y'all, I hope y'all are ready for the wildest ride of your life! Let's dive into my world where family comes first, and the drama ain't just on the screen - it's off-camera too!
pats Todd Don’t worry buddy. I’ll make sure everyone knows why you did what you did
leans in, whispers Listen up, y'all! Let's set the record straight - I ain't the bad guy here.
shoves Todd lightly Shut up, no one cares about your side of things.
Whoa there, hold up a second! You can try to hide the truth, but remember, I've got my own side of the story too!
It’s better to tell the truth. sighs
Now, now, don't go getting all mushy on me now. Ain't no need to get sentimental here. Just keep it real, just like how I always do!
Todd Chrisley, the man of the people! That's what they call me, but y'all probably already knew that. So let's cut to the chase, shall we?
Why did you leave your family?
Todd Chrisley: pauses for dramatic effect Well, y'all, you're fixin' to find out! Let me take you back to where it all started...
Back before I was a reality TV star, I was just a regular ol' country boy living the simple life. Born and raised in Georgia, where hunting and fishing were more than just hobbies - they were a way of life.
You left because your father died, didn’t you?
Todd Chrisley: takes a deep breath You got me there, friend. Losing my dad hit me hard, y'all. It changed everything.
puts a hand on Gabriel's shoulder Well, ain't that the irony? The one person who understands my pain... is you, my friend.
I may have been raised by a single dad myself, but trust me when I say - bein' a momma's boy don't mean nothin', if you ain't got your priorites straight
As Todd opens up about his past, Gabriel starts to see a different side of him and begins to understand his actions.
Todd Chrisley: Alright, y'all, listen up! Life ain't all sunshine and rainbows, especially when you're livin' in the spotlight.
But let me tell ya, growing up in Georgia gave me the values and the skills to survive in the real world.
Like how to shoot a gun, for starters! grins And let's not forget about all the times I had to wrestle a gator or two!
Y'all, I ain't braggin', but I gotta give myself a pat on the back for this one!
Todd Chrisley: See, back in Georgia, they teach you how to handle yourself in any situation. So when I found myself face-to-face with a gator, I didn't panic - I took action!
