Transcript

[A]

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Bloodline Banter. I'm Riley.

[B]

And I'm Landon. And. But you already know that.

[A]

Well, we got a notification that there's a retention dip within the next. Within the first couple seconds of our podcast, so I think y' all are skipping our sleep scores.

[B]

Yeah, they are. They are. Because we can see the analytics and the data on the tube of the U.

[A]

That's an important part of our day because that tells us if we're going to be in a good mood or

[B]

a bad mood or if we're going

[A]

to be in a bad mood.

[B]

So. Correct. So. And they're skipping it. I know there's six.

[A]

Anyway, what was your sleep score?

[B]

My sleep score was a 76.

[A]

Mine was a 70.

[B]

Actually, I think it was a 74. And then it went up to a 76 because I fell back asleep for a couple.

[A]

Yours was higher than mine.

[B]

Nope. And then it went back down to a 74. Anyways, my heart rate's 107 today. Right now.

[A]

Are you good?

[B]

No. I don't guess. I did drink two Cokes this morning.

[A]

It's nine o'.

[B]

Clock. I did.

[A]

You've had two Cokes by nine o'. Clock.

[B]

Two cherry Cokes.

[A]

Landon, you're going to have damn kidney stones.

[B]

I can't help it. I drink equal amounts of water. I drink a whole bre full of water, too. I woke up dehydration station this morning.

[A]

Yeah, cuz you drank two Cokes.

[B]

No, like, I was just dehydrated this morning. Went to the Cheesecake Factory last night.

[A]

We did. You know, I left my freaking leftovers out on my.

[B]

You know, I did, too.

[A]

I'm really. I really thought about eating them this morning.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah, because they were good.

[B]

And you thought about eating them after you left them out all night? I can say I've done that before.

[A]

Oh, I have to.

[B]

Multiple times. It just depends on what it is. Like if it's a piece of shrimp, then.

[A]

No, no, but it was just chicken. But if it's like it was grilled chicken, I mean, this was cooked.

[B]

Yeah, it's cooked. You can't get the salmonella. How'd you feel about the Cheesecake Factory last night? I had better.

[A]

It was good. We put in our drink order because I got an espresso martini. That espresso martini was not good. I put in our drink order and we literally waited. I feel like it took forever.

[B]

Yesterday. It did.

[A]

We were there for about an hour and a half.

[B]

No, two.

[A]

It was a. We were there for A long time. I mean, yeah, they. I know it's a from scratch kitchen, but damn.

[B]

Well, it was taking them a minute.

[A]

I do kind of regret not getting any cheesecake.

[B]

Why didn't we get cheesecake?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Why do we never get cheesecake?

[A]

I don't know. Cause I really had a sweet tooth the past couple days.

[B]

Yeah, you did. You have. You would have killed somebody for a milkshake the other night.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. I know. We were sitting in a restaurant and they. It was like a sports bar. And there was a Dairy Queen commercial come up on one of the TVs. It was the biggest TV they had in there. And I looked up and seen a blizzard. And then I could have killed someone for a damn blizzard. So I had to go down to the market in our apartment and get some cookie dough ice cream.

[B]

Did it hit?

[A]

Yeah, but it didn't hit us like I thought it would. And so then I blended it up in my own blender. It's not the same unless somebody else

[B]

makes it for you. Yeah, you're right.

[A]

Because it took me five minutes to get that in that blender because it was so frozen. Because my blender's little. Oh, it's like a. It's called a beast blender.

[B]

Huh?

[A]

I have a ninja big one.

[B]

I want to drink this water today.

[A]

I am. I'm thirsty. I woke up thirsty.

[B]

Thirsty. Kirsty.

[A]

Damn. The hand of God tightened this damn thing.

[B]

Oh, Lord. What are you gonna talk about today?

[A]

You know, I really don't know. I don't have anything planned like me either. At all. Nothing.

[B]

Well, let's just get into our week.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

What.

[A]

What all have we done since we recorded last? I mean, we went to.

[B]

I feel like we've been so busy and done so much.

[A]

We went to Chelsea's and hung out

[B]

and hung out in her pool.

[A]

We went antiquing.

[B]

We did go antiquing. Antiquing for the first time. Not for me.

[A]

You know, I think it's. I'm not going to say it's not for me. I think it's cool to see all the. But like, that's how people get zombies. Some of the paintings in there and the pictures and the dolls are definitely haunted.

[B]

Now this is how people bring spirits and ghosts in their house.

[A]

Yeah. The only spirit I believe in is the Holy Spirit. But let me tell you something. Some of these pictures in there are.

[B]

I believe that a demon can enter your house. I mean, there's just no way. Some of them dolls from the 1800s. Gosh, what's wrong with you?

[A]

I don't know. Go ahead.

[B]

You have a cold?

[A]

No, I just got a little tickle, I guess.

[B]

Tickle on the throat. Some of them. Dolls and stuff from like the 1800s.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Definitely should be blessed before you bring them into your house.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And why are we bringing them into our house anyways?

[A]

We're not. I will say it's just a bunch of really old stuff for a lot of money.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like you can get a Pyrex for

[B]

$52 when I. Yeah.

[A]

Go to Goodwill.

[B]

Speaking of, we did vlog the whole experience.

[A]

I forgot my vlogging camera at the apartment.

[B]

Oh, well, you'll have to use your phone. We did vlog the whole experience. The whole experience. And we need your feedback on this before we get in any further. Riley and I are thinking. Y' all keep saying y' all want two episodes a week. Two episodes a week.

[A]

We just can't do two episodes a week right now. Not only does is it time consuming, it's freaking expensive.

[B]

Uh huh. And also our schedules are just like tight.

[A]

Yeah, but. So we have a compromise.

[B]

We have a compromise. We're going to start maybe a Patreon and throw up weekly vlogs of our everyday life. So y' all don't just get to see us sitting here talking. Y' all can.

[A]

I feel like that's kind of more relatable anyways. Cuz then they see us. Like this isn't formal by any means, but they see us behind the camera here. Bts recapping our week and then they see our actual week that we talked about.

[B]

Yeah, that would be good. I think that would be good. I would subscribe.

[A]

I would too.

[B]

Anyways, so let us know in the comments what you think about that.

[A]

Yeah. Anyways, what do we do this week? Well, Landon and I were headed to Franklin yesterday. Gosh. Let me just say this. Okay. Landon has the worst luck with cars.

[B]

Let's just go down the line.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Had my truck.

[A]

Yes, he had his truck.

[B]

It was actually like not bad. I don't think I like just.

[A]

Well, it was huge. So you could kind of hit stuff

[B]

and it wouldn't matter. Yeah, yeah. Like the Sonic stall. Took out it a couple of times, you know, whatever. And then after the truck, what I get Range Rover.

[A]

Range. You never did anything to your Range Rover? Your first one, Evoke?

[B]

Nope, never done anything to that. And then I got. Then I downsized to a kia.

[A]

Kia K5.

[B]

Hit a bobcat.

[A]

Yeah. Hit a Bob. Okay. Well, you before you said it's a house cat. That was a house cat.

[B]

It was a bobcat.

[A]

No, it was a black tabby cat.

[B]

That thing couldn't have done that much damage to my car.

[A]

Bitch, I promise I was right behind you.

[B]

Anyways, before that, I.

[A]

Before that, he was in Florida, when he lived in Florida. Ran over an 18 wheeler tire because

[B]

it was in the middle of the road. Had to duct tape my car. It was a catastrophe.

[A]

Ripped out the whole front end, had to get it fixed. Then he hit the cat. Ripped out the whole front end, had to get it fixed. Then that was the last instance. And then you had another Range Rover. And then I got my dream car.

[B]

My dream car. I'm telling you, this car was like the only car I've ever wanted.

[A]

A Range Rover. Velar. He didn't do anything to it. You didn't. What's up with you? Don't hit anything in a Range Rover.

[B]

Maybe that's what I need to go back to.

[A]

And then the Tesla the other day.

[B]

Well, no. And then the Tesla popped tire.

[A]

Oh, yeah, the Tesla. The valet popped the tire.

[B]

And then. And then the other day, on the

[A]

way to Franklin, we were on the way to Franklin to go eat and do a couple things, and we get on the interstate and I'm on the phone with my grandma, and all of

[B]

a sudden we hear boom, boom.

[A]

And I thought, oh, shit, we had a pothole or something. I didn't see anything in the road.

[B]

Uh, I didn't either. There was something in the road. A piece of. What was it?

[A]

It was a caliber off a semi truck, a brake caliber.

[B]

And then things are like hundreds of pounds. They have to be hundreds of pounds.

[A]

No, they're not. They're. They're not that big, Riley.

[B]

It wasn't that big, clearly. But that thing had to have weighed,

[A]

well, anyways, more than a damn hippo. There was like six cars in front

[B]

of me, in front of me.

[A]

And all of a sudden we see everybody starting to pull over.

[B]

So the six cars in front of me knocked it back, knocked it back, knocked it back. Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce back. Hit my car. Then I knocked it back and hit three more cars. So we're all pulled over on the side of the interstate. It takes a damn highway patrol, everybody. The.

[A]

The. The Ford F250 in front of the Ford in front of us had a bobcat on the back of it.

[B]

It.

[A]

Or a skid steer, whatever you want to call it. It popped a tire. The car in front of the truck in Front of us popped a tire. We didn't pop a tire.

[B]

I don't know how we didn't pop

[A]

a tire, but it.

[B]

God said, you already had a popped tire. Let me do something different.

[A]

It knocked a hole in Landon's door. He. He can't open his door.

[B]

Open my driver's side door. Took the rim off the front.

[A]

Took the rim off the front.

[B]

Something flung up and cracked my windshield.

[A]

I mean, it really screwed it completely up. Then the poor girl behind us had her whole damn. The bottom of her car ripped out.

[B]

I mean, her motor was sitting in the floor.

[A]

And then the car behind it had a flat tire, too.

[B]

And the car behind it.

[A]

We called Nashville non emergency. About that time, there was one of the men that showed up with the flashing trucks that says get over or whatever. And he said he had already called Metro. So I told them, never mind. We waited a damn hour on Metro. Nashville police.

[B]

We would have.

[A]

Like, it's a damn good thing none of us were hurt.

[B]

Like.

[A]

And I know that y' all have bigger things to worry about than somebody who's not hurt on the side of the interstate, but you got to think there's seven. Them cars on the side of the interstate. That's a damn.

[B]

That's a hazard.

[A]

That's a accident waiting to happen. All it takes is one. Because them bitches were not getting over.

[B]

No, they weren't. Uh, anyways. And it was hotter than hell out there.

[A]

Sitting so hot. The Tesla was on 11%.

[B]

We were dying. The. The car was gonna die.

[A]

We were just sitting out there. I mean, and then. Not to mention, every time we got in and out, Landon had to climb over and go out the passenger side door. Cause he can't open his door.

[B]

I still can't open my door. Mm. Mm. And we're going on a four hour road trip today.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm driving.

[A]

Well, I offered to drive.

[B]

He did. But I want to. I need to make sure my car is drivable.

[A]

And in other words, if he want. If he's gonna break down, he wants to break down with me.

[B]

Yeah. Could you imagine?

[A]

Hell no. I. We did it last week.

[B]

Anyway, so. Car trouble here?

[A]

Yeah, so?

[B]

And I can't wait to get this bitch fixed. And I'm getting rid of it.

[A]

Pain in the ass, I guess.

[B]

I'm going back to a Range Rover. I don't reckon Range Rovers.

[A]

You don't?

[B]

Which one should I get? I was gonna get a truck, though.

[A]

I mean, I don't care what you do.

[B]

I think I'm gonna go back to a Range Rover.

[A]

He'll change his mind.

[B]

No, I don't.

[A]

Before the end of this episode.

[B]

Maybe a BMW.

[A]

Okay. I really like the BMW. The cars.

[B]

Yeah. Like the SUV ones or the cars. Cars.

[A]

They little ladybugs.

[B]

But yeah, that happened. We did vlog the whole experience.

[A]

We did. It will be going up on the Patreon.

[B]

It will.

[A]

What else have we done? I kind of feel like we've had a.

[B]

At the Culinary Dropout.

[A]

Oh my gosh, yes. We ate at the restaurant called the Culinary Dropout in Franklin. It was really good.

[B]

We're actually. We're moving to Franklin.

[A]

We're entertaining the idea.

[B]

We're moving to Franklin.

[A]

I'm good with it.

[B]

Me too. Obviously I love. Can't tell you why. I can't tell you, you know, all that stuff, but we're moving to Franklin.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's really. I think, like, Carrie Underwood lives. It's very hoity toity over there.

[A]

Not really for any specific reason. I love where we live now. I just.

[B]

Oh, I love where we live.

[A]

We just have things going on that

[B]

we need to go to Franklin for. What was I saying?

[A]

We were just trying to recap our week. But honestly, it's been one of the most uneventful weeks of my life. Like, it's been eventful in the fact that you popped your. You fucked your car up. But, like, we've not done anything. Like, I feel like we went out

[B]

to eat every day.

[A]

Well, we had family dinner night with Kirsten and watched Dancing with the Stars and Ex Pro.

[B]

Uh huh.

[A]

I mean about it. The other day it stormed here in Nashville and it was the loudest thunder I've ever heard in my life. Do you remember that? Yeah. I was on the phone with Nana.

[B]

I called you and I said, did you hear that? And you were like, yeah, I did. It shook the whole building.

[A]

Shook the whole damn building.

[B]

I didn't even know it was supposed to storm.

[A]

I didn't either.

[B]

Yeah. Anyways. Got anything pressing on your mind that you just need to get off your chest?

[A]

You know, I don't really think so, actually. This is a very boring episode. But people love them. Whenever we just sit here and shoot the.

[B]

I know. I feel like I'm not giving them any. Anything.

[A]

Well, we never give them anything of substance because, I mean, we don't. They don't tune in to be educated. They tune in to be informed. Okay. There's a trend going around TIK TOK. 7 things that you think are worth the money.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

What do you think? Seven things that are worth the money. It can be luxury. It can be anything.

[B]

Seven things that are worth the money for me.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Eating out. Food, number one, worth the money.

[A]

Okay, let's go back and forth.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

A good dinner. Yeah. Eating out. That's what I'm saying. A good dinner. Like, I will splurge on a restaurant. I'm pretty sure my shirt's in my titties. Sorry.

[B]

Seven things. Worth the money. Worth the money. Worth the money. A good pair of tennis shoes.

[A]

I agree with that. What brand you thinking?

[B]

Like, probably on Cloud or Golden Goose. Really?

[A]

Yeah.

Thought they were ugly as hell.

[B]

No, I just. The ones you bought looked like bowling shoes.

[A]

Yeah, but you see, you have one

[B]

pair that look like bowling shoes.

[A]

Yeah, they are. I'm wearing my Golden Goose tennis shoes right now. This is luxury. And by the way, we understand that these aren't. Before you get in the comments saying, well, some of us can afford that. Okay. I'm so. That are worth my money. Like, these are things that I would recommend you buy if you already know

[B]

what you're about to say.

[A]

Anything. A Louis Vuitton duffel bag.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I bought a Louis Vuitton duffel bag. And it don't have to be Louis Vuitton. No, it could be anything. Yeah, but I bought a Louis Vuitton duffel bag a couple months ago. I was really. I just didn't want to do it. I didn't want to spend that much money. Let me tell you something. Those damn things are like a hole to Narnia. I got the smallest one that they have, and you can fit the 45 inch. Keep all. I could fit my laundry room in that bitch.

[B]

I told you they were big.

[A]

I packed it to them.

[B]

And mine's bigger than yours.

[A]

Yeah. Literally, y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

It's like they're never ending.

[B]

No. And they're nice. And they last forever.

[A]

They are. And they're an investment. And they keep their value.

[B]

Yeah, they do.

[A]

And if you ever wanted to resell it, you could resell it for as much as you paid for it.

[B]

Talking about a car.

[A]

Yeah. No, but really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like designer luxury bags, handbags, duffel bags. They keep their value.

[B]

Yeah, they do.

[A]

It's an investment piece.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay. That's my two things.

[B]

I'm going to go with. See this? People are going to. I'm going to catch hell for this. A Nice car. A nice car is worth my money. A luxury car. It's worth my money.

[A]

I disagree. For me.

[B]

Yes. See, that's fine.

[A]

Like, I. I agree that, yeah, you like luxury cars. I understand. And I like them. I just don't want to car.

[B]

I'm not going to say you don't. You get what you pay for in

[A]

a sense of like, buy it nice or buy it nice.

[B]

Like your Toyota camry is probably 10 times more reliable than my Tesla.

[A]

Well, Toyotas are just a reliable car.

[B]

Yeah, but you get what you pay for in a sense of like, luxury. Like the technology on my car, the service, like the, you know, the Lexus dealership, their service department. Best thing. I agree with that. You know, so that would be mine.

[A]

Three for me is a good blanket.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Like we have. This is not sponsored Lola blankets. They're so soft. They are expensive, but they are a hundred percent worth it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

A good blanket is worth the money

[B]

for me because Lola's will last forever.

[A]

Any blanket, like, just a good blanket.

[B]

I love.

[A]

I love a good blanket.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Okay. What's number four for you?

[B]

You really caught me off guard. I didn't have any time to think of this.

[A]

I texted you last night.

[B]

I didn't look at it.

[A]

Landon, I texted you last night and I said. I respond, yes, you did. I said, think of seven things that are worth the money to buy for on the pod tomorrow. You said, got him. Oh, well, in two minutes you responded back and said, got him.

[B]

Oh, well, I didn't.

[A]

I think you were kind of ill last night.

[B]

Oh, I wasn't okay. At all.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I just.

[A]

Let's do five. Two more.

[B]

Okay. You're gonna think this is so dumb, but, you know, you get it. Sunglasses.

[A]

No, I agree.

[B]

A good pair of sunglasses.

[A]

I agree. But then again, I could see why someone would say they're not worth the money because you can get equivalent pairs on Amazon and then you don't have to worry about losing them.

[B]

You don't. But I'm just a sunglass whore.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Bad.

[A]

This is unpractical. Like, this isn't a lot of money. A phone wallet. Oh, yes. I cannot tell you how many debit cards and license that I have been through because I have lost my wallet. I do not carry a wallet. You will not catch me with a buy old wallet.

[B]

I used to carry a big old wallet.

[A]

I will not carry wallet. I don't carry cash. I don't. We live in the. It's 2026. If I can't venmo you. You don't need my money.

[B]

You. I agree.

[A]

Now, I don't think that we should be a cashless society. No, but I don't. I don't care. Cash. If I need cash, I start carrying cash. I should, but I. Kris Jenner always

[B]

kept like a thousand dollars in her.

[A]

I will lose it.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

I can't tell you how many times I've lost money and my concentrate is second.

[B]

If I have cash, like it's not in my bank, it's free. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, it is.

[B]

And I'm like, oh, I just spent a thousand dollars. But it was cash. It don't matter.

[A]

Nope, don't matter. One more thing.

[B]

Oh gosh.

[A]

This is kind of hard.

[B]

Something good worth spending money on? I know. What a good mattress.

[A]

Lanena, when's the last time you bought a mattress?

[B]

When I moved here.

[A]

Where'd you buy?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

I never bought a mattress in my

[B]

life and I don't use pillows, so.

[A]

No, they don't. Not a bit. I don't know. I really don't know what's worth the money. I love watching those on TikTok, but you know, I just don't have anything obsessed since.

[B]

What do you think is dumb to spend money on?

[A]

People are going to disagree with me on this. It's very controversial. But I seen Tasia talk about it the other day. Health insurance.

[B]

Oh yeah. Dumb as hell.

[A]

I completely understand if you are sick or you have an illness and you need health insurance. I understand the point of health insurance, I really do.

[B]

But it's a ripoff. I don't, I don't. It's a ripoff.

[A]

No, I mean, I think all insurance is a scam.

[B]

Don't even get me scared.

[A]

If you came down with a sickness, if you came down with cancer or something, you're going to need health insurance. It's going to be expensive. But for your everyday Joe blow, they pay $100 a month for their insurance. More than that for their insurance just to go to the doctor and have to pay it out the ass deductible.

[B]

I think it's all a scam. Yeah, if you're unhealthy, I guess you should get insurance. And maybe for an emergency it's like contradicting by what I'm about to say. But you know what's bullshit? Having to pay like $300 a month for somebody that's goes to the doctor once a year. And then you're just wasting that $300 a month. You could save that 300.

[A]

It does not good when you go to the damn doctor and then out the ass for everything else.

[B]

I mean, what's $300 times 12? That's $3,600 I could put in savings account. Yeah. And use it and grow. Broke my leg or something.

[A]

Yeah. Not to mention a lot of places

[B]

give you spent on something different like

[A]

a Louis Vuitton duffel bag. That's about how much they are.

[B]

Same thing with car insurance. Like it's a scam too. And I know I'm about to use it.

[A]

What about renters insurance? Rental insurance?

[B]

What about it? It's a scam too.

[A]

Yeah, but if you'd have got it, it had been helpful.

[B]

Rental insurance, car. Oh, like a rental car.

[A]

Landon opted out of rental insurance and

[B]

it's like $50 extra. And I already paid $324 a month for my car insurance.

[A]

Car insurance for young men. Being higher is bullshit. That's sexism. Not only can we get drafted and women can't, but now, oh, we have to pay more for car insurance.

[B]

Anyways, you said you were thirsty earlier.

[A]

You should just take your cure.

[B]

That is an idea.

[A]

Cure Hydration is a new sponsor to the podcast. They are an electrolyte company. No artificial sweeteners. None of that bull crap that you can't pronounce.

[B]

It's not too sweet. It's not too salty. It's really good.

[A]

They are actually good. I had the lemonade one yesterday, actually.

[B]

What's your favorite flavor? The Lemonade Mountain.

[A]

It is so good. And they just made their debut in Target.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

So go to Target. Check out Cure Hydration. Or if you don't feel like making the trip because you're lazy, you want to stay on the couch like me. Go to cure hydration dot com. Use code banter at checkout. Get 20% off your order.

[B]

Yeah, you do. Save 20%. Good electrolytes. I'm telling you, I love them. I do too. Probably one of my favorites. My favorite.

[A]

Yeah, I've tried a lot of electrolyte companies and some of them are like.

[B]

They just.

[A]

They're just like. They taste like you're stuck a straw in the Pacific Ocean and you just sucking it up.

[B]

Yeah, that's not like I don't want

[A]

to have to whenever I drink my electrolytes.

[B]

Yeah. Or like chug it down because it's nasty. Yeah, I don't want that. Anyway, so Cure Hydration. Very good. Give it a try. The link. We'll put the link in the description.

[A]

Description below.

[B]

Yeah. Anyways, Ooh, I have one in my car, actually.

[A]

They're good, actually. Good.

[B]

I have a bottle of water, so I'm gonna have to get one of those on the stop because we're heading on a little road trip after we film this episode.

[A]

Montgomery, Alabama.

[B]

Four hour and two minute drive. How does that make you feel? How does that make you feel? And we're gonna have to stop at least twice to charge my car. But one of the stops is at a Cracker Barrel, so we can do a little 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2,. 1, 2.

[A]

Grandma's sampler.

[B]

And one of the stops is at the Dolly's Tennessee travel stop.

[A]

So iconic. We can get some cinnamon bread.

[B]

Oh, we can. We can eat it on the way there. That's all we think about is we

[A]

can't check into our hotel till 4.

[B]

That's not fine. We're not gonna get there.

[A]

Hey, there are three restaurants in the hotel and our hotel is booze. And there's a spa. I looked up spa treatments last night and unless you're wanting to go take out a second mortgage, we're not going to the spa. Well, how much is it for a 100 minute massage? It was about $290.

[B]

How long is 100 minutes?

[A]

An hour and 40 minutes.

[B]

That's actually not that bad. An hour and 40 minutes, Landon. $290 getting massaged.

[A]

$290 divided by 100. That's three dollars a minute. When you put it, break it down like that.

[B]

And then a tip.

[A]

Yeah. So you're looking at about 350.

[B]

Uh huh.

[A]

Because you got a tip.

[B]

It's a little excessive, but once you break it down, $3aminute.

[A]

Might have a trip to the spa. Okay. What are some things that you think made people rich growing up? Like if you've seen this in their house, you thought they've got money.

[B]

Oh, lord. An in ground pool.

[A]

Yes, that's very true.

[B]

Yeah. Or just a pool in general.

[A]

A freaking fridge in their garage.

[B]

I feel like that didn't make you rich. I felt that like made you an everyday American.

[A]

Landon, 80.

[B]

Everybody has a fridge in the garage.

[A]

You had a fridge in your garage.

[B]

Also had a pool.

[A]

I didn't even have a garage. We had a carport.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

We had a metal carport that we pulled our cars under.

[B]

Or like a. Not only did we have a fridge in my garage, we had like four deep freezers.

[A]

This don't know. A struggle.

[B]

No, I'm serious. I thought that was normal. Yeah, but the whole family did.

[A]

Yeah, we did.

[B]

Oh. But I don't know what else.

[A]

You didn't have an in ground pole. You had an above ground pool, but you had a big deck around it. You couldn't hardly tell.

[B]

Oh, no, it was very nice.

[A]

Yeah, I loved it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's the thing about it.

[B]

And we have a little pool spa.

[A]

Yeah, that's the thing about.

[B]

We moved out. My mom.

[A]

Listen, in the south, we might get an in ground pool, but we're gonna be able to deck around that.

[B]

It was actually one of those pools that are like, not in ground, but not above ground. It was half of it set in the ground, half of it set above the ground. I don't know how explain it, but huge. It was like 40 foot long.

[A]

It was big.

[B]

What else? A nice vehicle.

[A]

Yeah, but that's kind of typical. Like, obviously, if you have a nice vehicle. You know what's kind of.

[B]

I got bullied in school for having money.

[A]

If you had a zero turn lawnmower, you were rich.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, I feel like that's just.

[B]

Did you have a zero turn?

[A]

Yeah, we had one.

[B]

We weren't really about three or four.

[A]

Yeah, we had a couple.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Um, but I see, like, I feel

[B]

like there's a difference in being rich and like just having money, you know,

[A]

and being rich and being blessed.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, I agree with that. I. I didn't really get picked on in school for having money, but I got.

[B]

Well, I didn't, like, I don't want to say bullied, but it was just like, oh, Landon has money. Landon, your family's rich.

[A]

Well, anytime, like, I could help that.

[B]

My mom had a successful job.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And a nice car and a nice house and a nice, like, you know,

[A]

I remember one time my grandpa picked me up from school and his 18 wheeler, like in the car rider line in a semi truck. And everybody thought that was just the coolest thing in the world. I remember one time, I thought it was embarrassing. I could see my grandpa above all the other cars.

[B]

Actually, I will say this one time, I think I was in like the eighth grade, some kid made a comment and they were like, you get picked up in a different car every day. What do your parents do for work? And I'm like, well, my mom has a car, my dad has a car, my grandfather has a car. Like, whoever's picking me up. And they were like, well, so I made it a point to get picked up in a different car every day after that comment. And so I made my aunt Tammy pick me up at the Corvette one time when the doors raised like this. Yeah, the 67. The 57 Chevy. Nice ass car. Yeah, don't piss me off. I'll show you up.

[A]

Let's get into Bloodline Brain Check.

[A]

You know, I can't. Oh, also, you know, I canceled my dentist appointment.

[B]

You canceled your dentist appointment again? The second one. Why?

[A]

I just hate the dentist.

[B]

Landon, speaking of the dentist and teeth, how are you locking your Remy mouth guard?

[A]

I do love it. It actually helped me. I have clenched my teeth my whole life.

[B]

Me too. It's bad. I'm a bad grinder.

[A]

I love my Remy mouth guards. And they're the only fda, FDA approved, clinically proven tested mouth guard kit. They've helped over like 350,000 people.

[B]

Yeah, and I'm a bad teeth grinder. And I'm not gonna claim it, like, you know, stops the grinding, but it does, like, protect your teeth. I think it helps from the damage.

I don't know if that. It is.

[A]

Yeah, it is. It's like a. That was 8.2 magnitude earthquake.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what instrument? I'm gonna say it and you're gonna be like, oh yeah, a seismograph.

[A]

Who the knows that but doesn't know that the line is the king of the jungle?

[B]

Well, you've never watched Tremors.

[A]

You've never watched the Lion King.

[B]

That's the difference between our childhood. Simba was maybe that. That's the difference between our childhood. I watched Reba McIntyre shoot a damn tremor that come up out of the ground with a gun. And you watched the Lion King.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay, well, that's all the.

[A]

How many valves does a human heart have? If you don't know this, Landon?

[B]

I don't know that I do.

[A]

The bicuspid valve, the tricuspid valve,

[B]

the 7.

[A]

No, 4.

[B]

Well, that's right, 4. I'm sorry that I'm not a damn heart surgeon.

[A]

No, but you were the president of Vice president Hosta for four years.

[B]

Because it looked good on a resume, okay. Or a college application. You had to be involved in something. And God knows I wasn't playing sports anymore.

[A]

Okay, let's get into Cousin Council. Okay?

[B]

We'll be right back. Well, everybody, welcome to cousin council. Since we've been outstanding judges, as you know, we. This segment is sponsored by Morgan and

[A]

Morgan baby go to forthepeople.com banter. You only pay if they win.

[B]

Correct. Okay.

[A]

Okay. Let's get into It. Okay, let's just use our gavel to scratch our nose. Okay.

[B]

Can use your sand and picket anyways. Come on.

[A]

Suing him. Okay, this came from Christian in D.C. okay. How do I deal with my anxiety about my partner's road rage while being an absolute hypocrite. I get mad at him because I want him to be safe, but I am okay with putting myself at risk. What?

[B]

I don't know how I feel about that. Road rage is road rage. Everybody's got it. Yeah, but if it's like bad bad,

[A]

I understand kinda where he's coming from. I

[B]

like.

[A]

Obviously I don't like the road rage where people like pull a gun on you and that he does that. But there are people out there.

[B]

Uh huh. Crazy.

[A]

But like I know whenever I see

[B]

a little boop won't have never hurt nobody.

[A]

I don't know. Depends on where that. Where it's at because you might get shot

[B]

like are you having brain fog?

[A]

No, I'm just saying whenever I. I've

[B]

never met anybody with road rage to the point that they want to like go crazy in psycho.

[A]

So I realized, well, that's probably why you're not dead. Because there was a. I've heard stories of people like running people off the road and killing them. Oh yeah, people are psycho.

[B]

I know, I know it happens.

[A]

I know whenever I'm having road rage, I know that I'm not going to do anything crazy. But if you're doing it and I'm not in control of you, I'm kind of like, oh, so I kind of understand where he's coming from. Okay, well, so I. I feel the same way, I guess.

[B]

Take an anxiety medicine.

[A]

Oh, okay. Okay. This is from Alex. Hi guys. I recently moved to Nashville three months ago. Well, hello neighbor from Arizona, thank God. I hate that state.

[B]

Me too. With a burning passion.

[A]

And your podcast episode made the 27 hour drive into U haul a lot less miserable. God bless your soul.

[B]

I'm glad we can entertain.

[A]

Ah, 27 hours in a U haul.

[B]

He could have watched every episode simply

[A]

pulled over on the side of the road. I'm going on my first cruise in a couple weeks down to the Bahamas. Would love all the recommendations. Since you've been on a few cruises. What events on the ship should I do and which ones are overhyped? Tips for a first timer. We got the drink package. We will all be boozing every day. Also, what's your favorite memory from a cruise you've done? Would love any and all advice. Drink responsibly Alex.

[B]

Yes, definitely do. That drink package is a must for

[A]

sure hydration, because you will get dehydrated with all that alcohol and no water, and that is a nightmare.

[B]

Recommendation for crews headed to the Bahamas. Since you're going to the Bahamas, I will say go by the day pass at Atlantis.

[A]

It's. It's worth it. It's actually a lot of fun.

[B]

I don't know how much it is. Like 200 bucks.

[A]

Yeah. When it comes to the cruise, though, you need to get a cruise line approved extension cord.

[B]

Yes, you do.

[A]

You need to look it up because the outlets could be on the other side of the room and nobody wants to sleep on the opposite end of their phone. Get some magnet hooks.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Get some wrinkle spray.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Because you cannot have an iron on the boat. Get a fan.

[B]

Uhhuh.

[A]

Exclamation.

[B]

And if you don't bring a fan, you can call and request one and they'll bring you one to your cabin.

[A]

That's true. Depending on the cruise line. What else you thinking?

[B]

I don't really know.

[A]

Get you a lanyard.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

So you can carry around your card in.

[B]

That's the only thing you're going to need is that card.

[A]

Yeah, that's. I mean, get you like some Birkenstocks. Take some shoes you can slip on and off that you don't mind getting

[B]

wet after you've cruised a couple times. You won't care about the dress setup. Clothes.

[A]

No, honestly. And depending on the cruise line you go on, they do not. About formal night. I literally. We all wore silk pajamas.

[B]

That's probably my best memory from a Christmas.

[A]

My best memory is us. Seven of us went to formal night dinner in matching navy blue pajamas.

[B]

Pajamas.

[A]

And people loved it.

[B]

People ate it up. Anyways, there you go. These are pretty. These aren't as crazy today, are they?

[A]

Okay, last but not least, this is from Brooklyn High, Landon and Rally. First, I want to say I love the podcast. I just recently started listening and end up finishing all your episodes in two days at work. Golly, Brooklyn.

[B]

Well, we know she's not working.

[A]

Amen. Love you. My question is, what are your thoughts on Oklahoma? I'm an Oklahoman and I recently listened to the episode where you were discussing a text is if Texas is a southern state. You hear a lot of Oklahomans refer to themselves as southern, but others say it's in the Midwest. A lot of people hate Oklahoma that have never been for some good reasons. Were like, we are ranked last in the country for education and have the highest rates of domestic violence.

[B]

Well, that probably correlates together.

[A]

Probably so.

[B]

It has to.

[A]

If you don't go to school, you're getting invites. I hope y' all go on tour one day. And I would be totally. I would totally travel to Texas, see a show. But Oklahoma City would be thrilled to have y'. All.

[B]

Well, I heard Oklahoma can throw down on a good show.

[A]

We'll have to keep that in mind if we ever go on tour.

[B]

Wink, wink.

[A]

But I don't really have any.

[B]

I don't have an opinion on reservations. I've never been. I just know there's not much to do out there.

[A]

There's a lot of tornadoes there, I think.

[B]

Oh, I would love to chase a tornado.

[A]

Oh, okay. Well, you can do that. I'll stay in the.

[B]

You wouldn't go. Stormtation. Really?

[A]

Nope. Not alone.

[B]

Yeah, I don't have an opinion on Oklahoma. I don't think it's the South.

[A]

I do.

[B]

You do?

[A]

It's not the Midwest.

[B]

I don't even know where it's at on the map. I just know it's kind of in the middle.

[A]

It's over next to Texas. Well, I don't know. I mean, I guess I couldn't call. I couldn't say Texas isn't the South. I'm saying Oklahoma is the south, but

[B]

you can be Southern for sure in Oklahoma, I think.

[A]

Yeah. I don't know.

[B]

If y' all drink sweet tea there, then I'll deem you the South.

[A]

Well, technically, if you're from the Midwest, you're from like Minnesota, Michigan, all that.

[B]

That's north.

[A]

I think that too. Midwest, in my opinion, is like Kansas. Oklahoma. Yeah, I understand what you're kind of, I don't know, Brooklyn.

[B]

I think you can be Southern and live in Oklahoma, but I don't think it's the same.

[A]

I don't have an opinion about Oklahoma. I hate that y'. All.

[B]

My sister almost went to college there.

[A]

Apparently y' all Oklahoma something.

[B]

They're state.

[A]

They're dumb people in Oklahoma and people who are violent, so. Praying for y'. All.

[B]

Anyways, if y' all ever need a

[A]

good attorney, Morgan and Morgan can help you out.

[B]

Yes, they can.

[A]

Go check out Morgan and Morgan. Anyways, people, forward slash banter. Yeah. What you got going on the rest today?

[B]

Just that four hour drive that we got going on.
