Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley

This week on Unlocked, Savannah sits down with Matt and Scott Thomas of Parmalee for a conversation that goes far beyond the music.From growing up in a small North Carolina town to spending more than a decade chasing a dream before landing their first No. 1 hit, the brothers open up about the long road to success, the sacrifices their family made along the way, and the moments that nearly changed everything. They share the incredible story behind "Carolina," the second mortgage their mother took out to keep the band going, and why finally making it wasn't just their victory, but their family's too.The conversation also dives into one of the darkest chapters of Parmalee's journey, when a violent robbery and shooting nearly ended the band's story before it truly began. Matt and Scott reflect on survival, faith, trauma, therapy, and how that experience continues to shape their perspective on life, music, and success today.Of course, there are plenty of lighter moments too, including the story behind "Take My Name," crashing a fan's wedding, the inspiration for their newest music, and why they're determined to enjoy the ride more than ever after everything they've been through.This episode is a reminder that sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come after the longest battles, and that the road to success is rarely as simple as it looks from the outside.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting our show!- Quince: Step into the holiday season with layers made to feel good, look polished, and last—with Quince.

This week on Unlocked, it’s just me and my favorite person… my mom, Julie Chrisley. And if you’ve listened to us before, then you already know these conversations hit different. There’s something about the mother daughter dynamic that shifts as you get older. You go from “you’re still a baby” to real friendship, real perspective, and real respect. We talk about how relationships evolve, why parenting adult children is actually harder than raising little ones, and what it looks like to let your kids “crash and burn” even when you can see the mistake coming a mile away.We get into everything from therapy and owning your strengths, to why talk without action is exhausting (yes… we discuss “NATO” aka No Action Talk Only and I will never look at that acronym the same again). We also dive into the harder stuff. Safety. Accountability. The world we’re living in right now. From scary local headlines to parenting in a culture that feels completely upside down, this one is honest, protective, and probably going to ruffle a few feathers. But it’s real.And somehow, in true Chrisley fashion, we still end up laughing about Mom falling on ice and who’s actually responsible for our questionable driving skills. This episode is layered. It’s serious and it’s light. It’s faith, frustration, growth, and a reminder that even when the world feels heavy, you can choose to focus on the good.If you love when it’s just me and Mom talking about life the way we actually see it, this one’s for you.

In this episode of Unlocked, Savannah Chrisley sits down with Ian Bick, host of the Locked In podcast and one of the most unfiltered voices in the criminal justice space right now. What starts as a playful moment about their “locked” and “unlocked” podcast worlds quickly turns into a raw conversation about ambition, mistakes, and what it actually looks like to rebuild a life in public.Ian shares how he went from being a teenage concert promoter booking major artists to getting indicted by federal agencies at just 19 years old, and how a series of bad decisions spiraled into time in federal prison. He opens up about the realities of life behind bars, the systems that shape people long before they ever see a courtroom, and why he believes restitution, accountability, and storytelling are the real work of redemption.Savannah and Ian also talk about how Locked In was born out of his own experience inside the system, and why he now uses his platform to humanize everyone involved, from former inmates and law enforcement to families and victims. Ian shares what it was like returning to a “prison” setting for a MrBeast challenge that helped him pay down his court-ordered restitution, and how that experience reshaped the way he looks at freedom, purpose, and responsibility.This episode is honest, funny in the moments where it can be, and deeply reflective where it needs to be. It’s a conversation about second chances, telling the truth even when it’s uncomfortable, and choosing to do something meaningful with the parts of your story you can’t change.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting our show!- Booking.com: This episode of Unlocked is brought to you by Booking.com!

In this episode of Unlocked, Savannah Chrisley sits down with Whitney Haley for a conversation that’s raw, funny, heartbreaking, and somehow still full of light. Whitney is a creator and storyteller whose life quite literally went viral when she shared her cancer diagnosis online at just 31 years old, six months postpartum. What followed was a whirlwind of stage four Hodgkin’s lymphoma, aggressive chemo, motherhood, marriage strain, financial stress, and learning how to survive out loud.Whitney opens up about the moment she knew something was wrong, the symptoms doctors initially brushed off, and how trusting her gut ultimately saved her life. She talks candidly about losing her hair, navigating internet cruelty, and the mental toll cancer takes long after treatment ends. Along the way, she brings her signature humor, because if you can’t laugh at chemo brain and a little chaos, what can you laugh at?But Whitney’s story doesn’t stop with cancer. She also shares her experience surviving an abusive first marriage, the strategic planning it took to leave safely, and why speaking openly about domestic violence matters more than ever. Her honesty has helped countless women find the courage to leave, heal, and start again.Now cancer free and focused on rebuilding her career and identity, Whitney is proof that resilience can be messy, loud, deeply human, and still powerful. This episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to tell the truth about your life, even when it’s uncomfortable, and that showing up as yourself might just change someone else’s life too.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on all our latest episodes!Thank you to our sponsors for supporting our show!- Booking.com: This episode of Unlocked is brought to you by Booking.com!
