Bloodline Banter

Welcome back to Bloodline Banter, where this week we are joined by the Appalachian princess herself, Katie Combs, and things spiral immediately.

From KOA cabins in Nashville to residential coffee in mason jars, from selling a double-wide on the swap shop radio to debating whether McDonald’s fries might actually heal your body, mind, and spirit, this episode covers more ground than a back road in Red Lick, Kentucky.

Katie walks us through growing up down a hollow road with her entire family and how one random storytelling TikTok turned into millions of views and a full-blown platform. We get into Pentecostal roots, “higher the hair, closer to God,” GLP-1 journeys, honey buns in the microwave, and the fact that if you’re going to post an “unspoken prayer request,” you better tell us what we’re praying about. Like y'all... don't ask if you're not gonna give me the full backstory. 

Somewhere in the middle we debate why gas station biscuits are a religious experience, whether Waffle House employees should be slightly unwell, and why a Coke Zero and a large fry from McDonald’s might actually fix your entire life. Honestly doctors should look into it. 

If you believe the swap shop will absolutely get your double-wide sold two days before they dig the footer, or feel spiritually aligned with a McDonald’s fountain drink, this one’s for you.

Welcome back to Bloodline Banter, where this week we solve three national crises: TSA groping, the Winter Olympics, and the bread butt. We’re headed on a cruise that we booked five days ago like responsible adults do, Riley prepares to get patted down by Homeland Security for the 47th time, and Landon’s old Tinder profile resurfaces on TikTok because apparently the internet thinks that’s fair game. Which like yeah I guess, but like also no?

We also discuss why curling is just professional sweeping with Olympic-level confidence, why Norway winning the Winter Olympics feels like cheating, and why Team USA beating Canada in hockey made us want to scream Toby Keith while eating a hot dog and sitting our butts at a Nascar race in the dead heat of summer.

Somewhere in the middle, we propose a constitutional amendment for a mandatory sauce-to-nugget ratio, debate whether anyone actually eats the end piece of bread, and relive growing up with grandparents who reuse sour cream containers like Tupperware doesn’t exist.

Cousin Counsel returns and yes, the submissions are unwell. I don’t think we need to say anything more on that. Submit all stories, questions, and shenanigans to be featured on Cousin Counsel to [email protected]

If you’ve ever been personally victimized by TSA, fast food sauce stinginess, or a thermostat set to 75 degrees, this episode is dedicated to you.

Welcome back to Bloodline Banter, where our childhood résumé includes forged documents and minor kitchen arson.

This week we finally tell the story of how our friendship actually started: a county fair, a laminated FFA badge, and just enough Sharpie to get away with it. That “community service” turned into fraud and we actually don’t think anything has ever been more on brand for us.

We then of course spiral into more unbelievable family stories that involve Granny Jewel and tasers, French toast catching on fire, pouring water on a grease fire (maybe don’t do that), and why our kitchen once looked like a winter storm hit it.

We also debate Crocs vs On Clouds, sweatpants at the airport, and why no one, and we mean no one, is wearing a tuxedo to TSA. Take that Secretary Duffy. 

And of course, Cousin Counsel returns with submissions that should probably involve a licensed professional. Submit all stories, questions, and shenanigans to be featured on Cousin Counsel to [email protected]

If you’ve ever forged something, burned breakfast, or refused to dress up for a flight, welcome home.

Welcome back to Bloodline Banter, where our cardiovascular age is questionable but our opinions are not.

This week we debate whether making your bed is a personality trait, if natural deodorant should be outlawed (spoiler: it should constitute jail time), and why some of y’all suddenly remember we exist now that TikTok does too. Y’all please, no one likes a clout chaser. Landon explains how he allegedly almost died from faulty electrical wiring, we argue about $700 Golden Goose shoes versus Crocs, and stand in 18-degree weather for In-N-Out like it’s a religious pilgrimage. All of which are totally not first world problems.

And of course make sure you stick around for a deeply unqualified but wildly confident advice segment known as Cousin Counsel. Submit all stories, questions, and shenanigans to be featured on Cousin Counsel to [email protected]

If your best friend doesn’t share their location with you, if your phone battery dictates your presence at the family dinner at Red Lobster, or if your Oura ring has ever fat shamed you, this episode is dedicated to you.

Welcome back to Bloodline Banter, where Landon and Riley once again prove that no topic is too dumb, too loud, or too uncomfortable to spiral into for 40 minutes straight.

 

In this episode, the cousins recount the high of hitting top 15 on the podcast charts (yes, above Khloé Kardashian), but their week wasn't all sunshine and rainbows though as the two trekked outside into Nashville's winter snow-pocolypse as self-proclaimed meteorologists. Thank God for this podcast.... they clearly needed a hobby.

 

From swamp ass debates to a Walmart security incident, this episode somehow manages to cover it all. Although, we can't promise you will walk away an academic or with a better understanding of the law. Speaking of which, the amount of Doritos in a standard bag is criminal. That we know for certain. Oh, and champagne tastes like static electricity. 

 

Make sure you stick around for a deeply unqualified but wildly confident advice segment known as Cousin Counsel. Submit all stories, questions, and shenanigans to be featured on Cousin Counsel to [email protected]

 

If you’re here for structure, this ain’t it. If you’re here to laugh, feel slightly better about your own life choices, and hear two cousins say the things everyone else is thinking but won’t admit out loud, welcome to the family.
