When are you just going to settle down, Leanne?
I don't know. I mean, I'm 60.
Did you know I turned 60 in October?
You are 60?
Yes.
Gosh, girl.
I hate to even say that in front of you.
No, it's fine, honey.
I didn't even know 60 could be like that.
God, I want to be 60 just for a half hour with you.
You know? My God.
Thank you, my darling.
You know, I've got two grandbabies.
You do? Don't even...
Now, don't tell me that.
Just tell me you're 60.
I like that part.
Do you do? Really?
Yes.
Well, yeah. I mean, congratulations, A, on having a family.
Obviously, that's something that's super important to you.
Thank you.
I met your husband, Chuck. I met him.
Was that his name?
You met Chuck Morgan where?
Yes, I met him.
At the frickin'...
With Morgan Wallet.
Oh, yeah, at the ball game.
Yeah.
At the ball game. Go Vols.
You know I'm a Vol for life.
I know you are.
I went to the University of Tennessee.
Oh, yes. Chuck Morgan was there. That's right.
Chuck Morgan was lingering around.
I met him at the University of Tennessee.
God, I knew it, huh?
And what was he doing over there? Was he loitering or was he enrolled?
I was probably the one loitering.
Okay.
He was enrolled getting a master's, an MBA, and I was trying to finish up an
undergraduate that took me several years, Theo, because I...
I wasn't drinking.
You weren't?
I was smoking cigarettes...
That's fine, honey.
...with Diet Coke and coffee.
Oh, that's fine.
And I was not going to class.
I was having to flirt with people to get notes.
I didn't care.
And I wish I'd have cared.
But I was doing stuff like that and making out with people.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Like Italian boys, because I never seen one.
Okay, so I was raised like right outside of Nashville in a town of 500 people,
a farming community.
So everybody was the same.
So when I got to UT, I was like, oh, and I, you know, went to the club.
Oh, yeah.
If you see something new, you got to put your lips on it, you know?
That's the Hamlin County motto, I think.
But then Chuck Morgan came to get an MBA and then fell in love with me.
And was he on a horseback or something when you saw him?
Was he on a damn King Corso?
What was he on?
He was just on a damn big Dotson, wasn't he?
Like, God, I think he's got a long one on him, under him.
Is Dotson a dog?
Dotson's a dog.
I've had a Dotson.
Puddin.
So Chuck Morgan, you meet him over there in Knoxville, and he walks into where
and sees you?
At the restaurant that I was working.
And what were you doing there working?
I was waiting tables, and I was standing waiting for my table to get seated.
And he came through with a training group, and he's six foot four.
And I said, you're tall as a tree.
And he said, sorry.
And I thought, another butthole's come to work at Grady's.
And I thought, stay away from him.
He's not fun.
And he just would, like, stand next to me, you know, and kind of lurk.
And provide shade, you mean.
I love how you can't see the positive in it, Leanne.
Go on.
And then we would have shift meetings, and I'd be eating a baked potato with
some sour cream and butter on it.
And maybe cheese.
And he would, I remember the second thing he said to me was, you don't need to
eat all that fat on your baked potato.
And I thought, man, what a butthole.
I mean, he doesn't need to sit by me.
Leave me alone.
The next time, I think I said on the back there doing catch-ups or something, I
said to one of the girls working, I love your Dooney and Burke purse, girl.
The next day, he brought me a Dooney and Burke purse and a big box with a bow
on it.
And then started doing all my side work.
And if I had a test, he would say, I'll take your shift.
I'll give you the money.
And started, like, pursuing me, wooing me.
And see, I had been through a divorce at 23.
I was divorced at 23.
Which, how redneck is that?
Were you living in a group home?
Where were you living?
No, well, I roomed with two boys that were in the basement.
I was working behind a clinic counter.
Honey, that's a group home.
I think it's a halfway house.
Go home, though.
And they said there's these new apartments opening up.
Did y'all have a wreath or not?
Wreath or no wreath?
No wreath.
Yeah.
And they said, one of them worked in the shoes and one of them worked in
security.
And they said, there's a new apartment complex being built in the fort by UT
campus.
Lou, they called me Lou.
They go, do you want to share an apartment with us?
We'll keep you safe.
We'll be in the basement.
There's two down below the steps.
You can have the, there were two bedrooms up.
We didn't have a fourth roommate.
Except one time, this little boy moved in there for a little while that wanted
to be a weatherman.
He did not have it.
Oh, yeah.
Sometimes that's a gay guy, too.
He was gay and darling, and we did each other's hair and had a ball.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, but, and smoked.
200% chance of sunshine, I'll tell you that, baby.
He had a little bitty robe, and he'd walk around in, and he had a big pompadour,
and he wanted to do the weather.
But, you know, some people just don't have that, the support behind them.
Oh, God.
I don't think he ever got to do the weather.
But anyway, I don't know how he came in.
But anyway, I took care of these boys.
They were dating and doing, and I was kind of like, not the mom.
I was 23 years old, but I made a good Rotel dip.
I liked to make over them.
They'd have their girlfriends over.
They'd have their boyfriend, guy friends, fraternity boys.
And so, it was something to help me get over this divorce and have, you know,
and have friends and all that.
And it turns out Chuck Morgan was in their fraternity and was in MBA school
with one of them.
We made that connection later.
But by then, I had been through a horrible divorce.
I'd cut all my hair off.
I had short hair.
How off?
You shaved it off?
Not shaved, but short.
Like, were you going to join the Air Force, that type of shit?
If I had had the guts, yeah.
But I didn't.
I'm sissy.
But I didn't want anything to do with men because I was so hurt and all that.
And then Chuck Morgan just would not take no for an answer and wooed and wooed
and wooed me and bought me gifts and paid my rent.
And, you know, later now in interviews, he brings it up and acts like he resents
it.
I had to pay her rent.
I go, what?
Nobody asked you to.
First thing he told me, I had to pay her.
He had a damn invoice written up in his phone.
He said, I'll email it to you.
I said, look, but I'm.
He probably kept that receipt.
But did you finally, was there a moment you realized you loved him kind of or
did you just kind of.
Yes, I fell in love with him.
And then.
But was there a moment you did or just kind of slowly build up?
It slowly built because I did not.
I was having trust issues because I had been through something terrible.
And I told him I've been through something terrible.
Don't woo me.
And he does not take no for an answer because he's a mobile home salesman.
Oh, yeah.
They are.
They got a lot of testosterone.
They're very dominant.
And the first thing you tell him is no.
Yeah.
And they don't take no for an answer.
They can sell.
I mean, he's been successful.
Yeah.
He does not take no for an answer.
He still does it.
Oh, you're slinging mohos, dude.
That shit's fucking.
You got it.
You got it.
It's lucrative.
You can't give up.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Warren Buffett Company.
Berkshire Hathaway.
Mm-hmm.
Anyway, yeah, he would not leave me alone.
And then he said, when I get a job after MBA school, we'll get married.
And then I was cocktailing.
He was bartending by then.
And he broke up with me.
What?
Yeah, he broke up with me for no reason.
What?
No reason?
Well, he said that I smelled from the cigarettes and he could not take it
anymore.
But I don't think that was the main reason.
I did smell.
Marlboro Lights.
Oh, yeah.
They're good.
They're good.
Loved them.
I wish they were healthy.
Yeah, they're good.
Anyway, I had just, I don't know what he was going through, but he broke up
with me.
And then he bought a used mobile home business up in Bean Station, Tennessee,
where there's
no women his age.
I think that was also a factor.
He gets up there.
There's women working at the bank, you know, in their 40s, had a hard time.
Okay, so then I'm down finishing up my degree.
I went to Fort Lauderdale on spring break, got a tan.
I was a third wheel with another couple.
Don't matter, bitch.
The sun hitting everybody.
Yeah.
And he had never seen me with a tan.
By then, I was working behind another counter.
I had like four jobs, you know, trying to make it.
And he saw me with a tan and then said, can I buy you a pair of tennis shoes?
And I was like, maybe.
And then I took him back.
He bought me a pair of Asics.
Oh, God.
They were nice.
They were pretty nice, I thought.
They were nice.
Yeah, and he wanted me back.
I had been dating a long-haired boy that was an artist who was poor.
And I do like a man with health insurance.
I got to tell you, I like a man that when he takes you to Costco, he buys the
toilet paper.
He doesn't say, let's split it.
Yeah.
I don't like that.
Yeah.
So, this was a long-haired artist.
And one of my roommates said, either Lou's got a date or we're being robbed.
And he did kind of look like my sister.
But anyway, Chuck found out.
Sister's good looking, though.
Yeah.
He was a pretty guy.
He was pretty.
But he had a bicycle.
He didn't own a car.
He could make mayonnaise from scratch.
And that was pretty nifty.
Oh, my God.
And that was considered also a hair.
People would put it in their hair back then.
Remember that?
Yeah.
People put it in their hair.
To deep condition.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he also, I thought about this the other day because it was fall.
He made pumpkin cheesecake.
He said, I'm going to, this was, Lord, what was this?
The early 90s.
And he goes, you know what?
I think pumpkin, canned pumpkin would be good in a cheesecake.
And I remember thinking, I don't even know what you're saying.
Who was this fruit wizard over here?
Yeah.
Who was this fucking Halloween fruit wizard doing that crazy shit?
I mean, that was considered damn experimental at the time.
I know.
He really was, you know, kind of a savant.
So then he said to me.
He was in over his head at a damn Marie Callender's.
I'll tell you that.
That's for sure.
And he rode a bicycle.
And the bicycle had a sticker on the back of it that said, burn fat, not oil.
And I was driving a Toyota Corolla.
Oh, those are nice.
That my little daddy bought me because I had been driving after a divorce.
My granddaddy's Impala that was beige.
That when I drove through a parking lot, people threw dope out of the window
thinking I was the FBI or the police.
They'd have one of those lights on the outside of it.
Remember those sometimes?
You get those police vehicles.
People would have at an auction.
That was the big thing in our town.
Somebody get them a damn auction vehicle.
Them bitches.
Go on, though, so.
And so the long-haired boy said to me, if we marry, I want to stay home with
the children and you be the breadwinner.
And I broke up with him that day.
And I was like, I'm not, I don't have any earning potential.
And I need somebody who's a hunter and a gatherer.
Yeah.
Like Chuck Morgan.
I've never had to worry about Chuck Morgan.
If whatever happens, if the world's coming to an end, Chuck Morgan will get out
there and dig ditches or drive a truck or do whatever.
He'll be fine.
He'll be fine.
He can make it off a flat rock.
He can make a living off a flat rock.
Amen.
And how long have you guys been married now?
It'll be 34 in April.
Oh, that's beautiful.
And three babies and two grandbabies.
And everyone asks, what's the secret to 33 years of marriage?
I say it's a lot of praying in the bathtub.
It's hard.
Tornado prayers kind of.
Yeah.
It is.
It's hard.
And you just got to fight the big battles, not the little ones.
You know, just let things roll off your back because it's a lot to live with
somebody.
And it's not easy.
It's not easy.
And Chuck Morgan and I are both very opposite.
He's very introverted, very anal retentive.
Everything's got to be in its place.
I'm an artist, Theo.
Yeah.
My junk drawer is pretty bad.
Yes.
In my kitchen.
But I've raised these children and they're fun.
Like, he's very well-educated and loves school.
If he had been at home with them, I've always said, if he wasn't traveling,
they would end
up in Harvard with a nervous tick.
But they had me and we went to the zoo and we went to Dollywood.
I didn't let them skip school, but we had a good time.
I love that.
And they want to be with me now.
Of course they do.
You know, they're fun and they want to be with me.
But they're not over...
They do great, but they're not...
He's an overachiever.
Not us.
Never enough.
Never enough.
Driven.
Driven.
