• I’ll Hold the Bags: Fair Season, Spooky Lakes, and Depression Pie

  We’re back, y’all. Landon refuses the Ferris wheel (snack captain on the ground), while Kate happily waves from the top. We debrief a joyful Lemuria signing, Landon’s dream-within-his-content visit to the Junior League of Jackson Sustainers (Penny with an “i,” you’re iconic), and everything South Mississippi Fair: TK’s chicken on a stick supremacy, why games are ambiance not obligations, and the case for a designated bag-holder. Then we tumble into Spooky Lake Month—Lake Baikal, the Strid, exploding crater lakes, and the heartbreak of a dying lake—plus the Internet’s latest: Group Seven’s overnight elitism and Joyce’s legendary Depression Pie (is it just Water Pie in a cute dress?). See us at Dollywood soon; Knoxville’s Mast General Store Nov 3, 6–8 PM; and the Kids First Gala in Starkville Nov 22. The new site is live and becoming our podcast hub—tickets and updates at LandonTalks.com. Tell your mama and ’em we said hello.

• Dolly’s Fine, Our Treat Suite Was Legendary, and Please Wash Your Coffee Mug

  We kick off with housekeeping: we want a private place for this podcast community to hang out (FB group? Discord? You tell us). Then Sweet Tea: the Great Dolly Scare of 2025—Facebook prayer-request energy meets global panic—ends with Dolly herself saying, “I ain’t dead yet.” Amen. Trip recap: our 14-year anniversary at Camp Creek Inn on 30A—cool rooms, A+ bed, and the glorious Treat Suite (chips, Drumsticks, espresso…danger). Dinner shoutout to Ambrosia 30A (angel eggs with shrimp + bacon marmalade, lobster bisque, the works). Also: surprise fall-break crowds = June-level chaos. History corner returns: last week’s ancient cat poem morphs into an even pettier ancient teen letter chiseled in stone to his mom (“you don’t love me, my clothes are trash”). We use that to dunk on Ancient Aliens—humans built things; stop erasing their brains. Rapid-fire chaos: switching sides of the bed (hard no), “seasoned” coffee mugs (also no—explain yourselves), old water glasses and brain-eating amoebas (somehow Signs is involved), how you pronounce “Vienna sausage” (apparently “Vaini/Viana” exists), and giant pumpkins (different species, 50 lbs/day growth, IV drips, regattas where people paddle them like boats). Bonus oddities: cheese-rolling carnage, butter carving, and elite sandcastle builders. Calls to action: Drop us your petty/relatable ancient history stories and your town’s weird competitions (pumpkin regattas, catapulting, butter art). Tell us where this community should live so we can actually talk back. Rate & review (do it again tomorrow, it helps). Book plug: Landon’s new Christmas book is out now—stocking-sized, cozy, with Aunt Charlotte’s sweet potato pie recipe. Jackson, MS folks: book signing at Lemuria this Saturday. Tell your mama’n’em we said hey.

• Cats, Coyotes & Christmas (and Other Organisms We’re Arguing About)

  We start on the couch in peak “sweatshirt-around-your-waist” weather and immediately detour into big news: Landon’s new Christmas book is out—tiny enough for a stocking, cozy enough to read on repeat, and packed with Southern glossary gems and Aunt Charlotte’s sweet potato pie. Then we spiral (as usual) into the Organisms Episode: indoor vs. outdoor cats, why our dog Kobe Bryant smells like trouble, the twin goblin kittens (working names: Jack Black and Earl Grey), and a free ad for the Litter-Robot because we’re not living with open poop. We hit caracals (hard no), “how many coyotes could you fight,” rainforests as life-eating engines, the oldest trees, Pando the aspen super-organism, whether fascia beats skin for “largest organ,” and a quick taxonomy fight that ends with ancient cat poetry. Plus: Southern Living’s Illuminations in Charleston—tell us what demo you want to see—and the newsletter in our Linktree has all dates because the AI knows our schedule better than we do. Dogs, we love you. Cats, you own us.   Follow Landon and Kate on:   Instagram: ⁠@LandonTalks⁠  Facebook: ⁠@LandonTalks⁠  TikTok: ⁠@landontalks⁠   YouTube: ⁠@landontalksalot⁠  Cameo: ⁠@LandonTalks⁠  Linktree: ⁠@landontalks⁠    This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast  IG: ⁠@reddrockmusic⁠  ⁠www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.

• One Serving of “This or That”: Southern Style Y’all

  Landon and Kate are back on the Cozy Couch for an episode full of laughter, nostalgia, and tough choices. The main event? A Southern-style “This or That” game that dives into phrases, traditions, and quirks of everyday life—from highfalutin vs. putting on airs to haint blue porch ceilings vs. red doors. Along the way, they touch on birthday statistics, snailfish discoveries, and what it really means to relive a perfect day. It’s warm, witty, and a reminder that sometimes the small conversations are the ones that stick.    Landon is coming to a city near you soon!
