A
Hit your head that far. Get away from me. I didn't hear nothing. And you go there. You're stupid.
B
I don't even love this, but I ain't eating no damn tuna fish. Welcome to the bloodline banter. I'm Riley.
A
And I'm Landon.
B
And we're glad you came back. Hopefully you'll stay around a little while.
A
Is an upgrade.
B
It's been a long time coming from lawn chairs in my basement. Lawn chairs from Walmart. We couldn't even go to Academy Sports and outdoors. We went straight to the sporting goods.
A
Of the Walmart and they creaked every time we made a move.
B
And they. But they did have a cup holder on the side. And I thought that was kind of high class hillbilly.
A
It was, actually.
B
But now we have these fancy chairs that look aerodynamic. And they came from Wayfair. You got just what I need.
A
That's right.
B
So they're comfortable.
A
They are.
B
They're also not from Wayfair.
A
Oh, they're also not from Wayfair.
B
Well, but our.
A
Our table is.
B
So anyway, nothing from the last set came to Wayfair. We got push pins from the Dollar Tree and shower curtains from Walmart and two lawn chairs and a rug that I found in my spare bedroom and concocted it with some camera and had clip mics. And forgive us, that was ghetto.
A
Anyways, we're thankful for you that you're here.
B
Yes, thankful. And let's get right into it. Go ahead and tell them, because you. You got your feelings hurt last night. What did I do?
A
Riley busted through my apartment door last night eating mint chocolate chip ice cream.
B
It's refreshing. That bar is refreshing. I don't like mint chocolate chip any other time, but that bar is refreshing. And you have no room to talk about snacks with me because for snacks, you eat corn chips with cottage cheese and mustard and cured salami like a middle school mom. So don't be making fun of my snacks.
A
Mint chocolate chip. It's nothing but a crest 3D white bottle of toothpaste with chocolate chips in it.
B
Well, then maybe we should start a campaign for the whole world to start eating mint chocolate chip. Because people's breath stink and apparently they don't br teeth enough, so that's fine with me. If you want to eat mint chocolate chip ice cream, that's your business.
A
It's not my business. No, it's your business. Try it. You tried it the other night, and I about puked.
B
Okay, Landon, your version of a snack is a cottage cheese and mustard bowl. I'M sorry. I'm not trying to eat like the Real Housewives, okay?
A
I eat. It's. It's a blue corn chip with a little bit of cottage cheese, cured uncured salami, peppered salami from Trader Joe's, actually, and some cholula hot sauce.
B
That made Jenny Craig blush.
A
I don't even know Jenny Craig.
B
She's a weight loss coach, I think. I don't know. She was on the Biggest Loser or something. It was good. I don't see a problem with you eating your blue cured salami, but sometimes there's nothing wrong with eating a honey bun, Landon. You have to live life on the edge.
A
And I eat honey buns.
B
Don't be afraid of diabetes just because it runs in the family. I'm not.
A
I'm actually the opposite. I'm hypoglycemic.
B
Okay?
A
My blood sugar stays low because you.
B
Eat corn trips and. And cottage.
A
I eat a honey bun every once in a while, but it's about healthy balance. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, this is my healthy balance water. Great value water.
B
I don't care where it came from.
A
You know, I get posted and roasted for using faucet water out of my sink to make my coffee every morning.
B
Yeah, it's probably giving me cancer. I use it, too.
A
What are we supposed to do? I don't know.
B
But I can't use bottled water because cold water is not going to dissolve.
A
Coffee grounds because we're ghetto. Anybody use instant coffee?
B
I don't think that's ghetto. I think it's creative. I'm using my time to do other things rather than brew coffee and a Keurig in the morning.
A
It takes four minutes.
B
That's four minutes I could be grinding and changing the world.
A
You're stupid. You're stupid. Anyways, so we grew up in a super, super small town, and then we moved here literally, you know, a couple months ago. How do you feel moving here?
B
You know, I love it so far. It's a complete culture shock. I can't stand the fact that everyone thinks they need to be a tourist.
A
Well, that's Nashville.
B
Yeah, it's Broadway.
A
Broadway. But anyways, I have seen more boots.
B
Than I have humans.
A
On moving day. I moved in. Get this. I moved in, and I said, okay, I'm gonna bring my sister. I'm gonna bring her, my friend Ashley, and me and Riley. So we're moving in, and he helps do nothing. We have boxes upon boxes upon boxes, and you do not do anything except for sit on your phone on my couch.
B
I Wrote in the.
A
He wa our couch to get set up. And then he sat there the whole time.
B
Okay. I rode with you on the way up to Nashville in the U haul, so you didn't have to ride by yourself. And if you wanted a moving crew, you should have hired two men in a truck.
A
I hired two women in a Raleigh.
B
You didn't pay me. You didn't hire me for nothing.
A
I was volunteered anyway. So it comes time to start putting shit together. And Riley here.
B
Landon, I can't even put together a Lincoln log set. Don't ask me to put together anything. I didn't play with Legos as a kid. I. I don't have a creative mind like that. I'm so sorry I don't wake up and with a hammer and nail in my hand every morning. I can't do that.
A
I didn't ask you to be Bob the Builder. I just asked you to help, and you didn't help at all. And then when?
B
What were we doing? We were Bob the building, were we not?
A
I was. We weren't doing that.
B
Okay? That's why I didn't do anything. Because you didn't ask me to be Bob the Builder. Maybe you should ask me.
A
Moving on. I helped Riley move in the following weekend. And who puts together all of your shit? Go ahead, tell them. Tell the audience.
B
My grandpa, who else? And you did a couple things.
A
I did more than a couple.
B
I took you to dinner.
A
I actually take Chad to go to dinner.
B
Okay.
A
Anyways, go ahead.
B
What?
A
Tell them. Who put together all your shit.
B
Except for one thing. I put together a couple of things. I can't put together something. Would you rather me have put it together and go to lay my lowly head down at night to take asleep and fall right through the eighth floor? I. I'm not about that. I. I'm not a. I'm not a handyman. I don't put stuff together. I'm sorry.
A
Anyways, we moved to Nashville and.
B
Well, that was a topic change.
A
No, it's not. We're still talking about our move here. We moved to Nashville and then we went to Broadway, like, the second day in, I think.
B
Yeah.
A
And. And we don't ever care to go back.
B
Everyone on Broadway looks the same. They all have blonde hair. They're all wearing shorts that with fringe or something would get them kicked out of a church somewhere. And they all have on the same pair of boots, every single one of them. And they're all caught posing like it's New York Fashion Week in the middle of the road. And, you know, I can't stand it. Anytime I go on Broadway and I see a pair of boots, it makes me die a little on the inside.
A
Well, that's what people do here. You're either a singer, a songwriter, unemployed, or you go to Broadway and get drunk.
B
Okay. Why can't you wear Enclave to Broadway? Why do you have to be boot scooting? Because I know you have blisters on the back of your ankles. You do? Unless you're wearing compression socks. You have blisters on the back of your ankle.
A
Compression socks?
B
Yeah.
A
Do you wear this?
B
No.
A
You don't?
B
No.
A
Okay.
B
Do you?
A
No.
B
No. But you're wearing.
A
Kind of. Look, I'm wearing.
B
You're wearing the Crocs today.
A
That was a sore subject this morning coming down the elevator, everybody. So I wore this aloe sweatsuit, or whatever it's called, and I walk out of that house. We get to the elevator and. Or walk out of the house to get to the elevator. I don't have an elevator in my house. But walk out of the apartment complex, get to the elevator, and I look down. I said, riley, I'm wearing Crocs. He cussed me up one side, down the other.
B
He said. I said, go change him. We're still at the elevator. He's. I said, go change him. He said, I don't have time. We left 45 minutes early.
A
I wasn't going right.
B
It's a mile away. And I said, go change. He said, no, I don't have time. I don't have time. I said, landon, you have time. I said, landon, you're in two different tax brackets right now. You're wearing aloe suit and Crocs. And them Crocs, you could run and stop running and slide to New Zealand with those Crocs. The traction is gone. You could iron a shirt with those.
A
Riley, I'm done.
B
Landon.
A
Those are despicable. I was gonna do sporting goods when we leave here. It was gonna be on clouds, but I forgot to put them on, and I'm glad I didn't, because I reminded you. And then I had to put them in Sports Mode to walk to the car.
B
Yeah, they look even worse in Sports Mode. I'm just gonna tell you the truth.
A
Really?
B
Yeah.
A
Sorry, guys. Give me a moment. Four wheel drive. Landon, what do they look like?
B
Crocs is gonna sue us for you wearing that. I hope they send you a new pair, because them have been through hell and back twice.
A
Anyways, so we're walking to the car. It's freezing outside. Riley's bitching about everything under the sun because it's too cold. It's too cold. And he said, make sure you start your car when we get to start your car beforehan. So I started my car from my phone. I put the climate to whatever the.
B
Temperature was going to be.
A
And we get in there and it's warm in my car. And the first thing this mother freaker does is roll down the windows because he's hot.
B
Okay, if you know the first thing about science, get Bill Science Guy on the phone. You can't go from a hot environment to a freezing ass cold environment or vice versa because you will get the flu. Hashtag blue.
A
That's a math.
B
You can. No, it's not. You can't. Landon, we went from 30 degrees to 85 and you expect me just to sit in there like I'm a lizard on a rock?
A
You look like a marshmallow today.
B
That's fine. I like marshmallows. Anyways.
A
Anyways, so we get in the car and we're driving here. And Riley goes, it's colder. What'd you say?
B
I said, it's colder than hell.
A
No, you said something else before. That cauldron.
B
A witch's titty in a brass bra.
A
Doing push ups in the snow. And then if your nose is stopped up, and if we sound stuffy today.
B
It'S because Mother Nature has came to seek, steal and destroy and take every bit of joy away from me. And I woke up this morning and this nostril was like New York traffic. And this nostril was like the Hoover, not the Hoover Dam, because that would be stopped up. This nostril was like an escalator at a mall, just real steady.
A
Hoover Dam. Do you even know what that is?
B
It's. It's a dam that holds water but like.
A
But the Hoover Dam. Do you know what that was?
B
Herbert Hoover's dam. Do you know who Herbert Hoover is?
A
Nope. I'm just asking you.
B
He was a president.
A
Really? Yeah. What number?
B
You heard it here first. I don't know. There's been. How many? 47. Hey, Siri, what president was Herbert Hoover?
A
The answer I found is Franklin.
B
Hey, Siri. Hey, Siri. Who. What number president was Herbert Hoover? Why do you care? 31st.
A
No wonder we don't know about him. He was born with our grandparents.
B
Grandparents. 31st is way before our grandparents.
A
Yeah. I have to tell y' all a story about my grandparents. Listen, so Riley and I are headed to Blue Ridge. Oh, God. Yeah, we're Blue Ridge.
B
We're going to the lake. Blue Ridge, Georgia.
A
And we're with my grandmother, my grandfather, me and Riley, Me and Riley are sitting in the back seat of the van and my grandmother starts telling us about stuff that she's seen on Facebook. And I don't know who gave my, I don't know who had the idea to give my 84 year old grandmother, maybe she's 82, I don't know, an idea to have Facebook.
B
You did.
A
But she like this, I swear to y', all, she sits and goes, she licks her finger to scroll the iPad.
B
You help her get Facebook because she gets hacked every week anyway.
A
So if you know anything about living in the south where we grew up, if you have tattoos, you're going exiled straight to hell. Let's just say it. If you have tattoos like we have, you're going to hell. And so I guess my grandmother decided that she was going to tell us about something she's seen on Facebook reels and she's telling us this story and she said, I seen this Facebook reel the other day and they had a banana, some Vaseline.
B
And at this point in the story I was like, yeah, clutching my pearls wanting to know what nanny's done found on Facebook.
A
She said, yeah, I seen a video the other day. A lady took a banana, some Vaseline and some batteries. My brain stopped there and I thought 82 year old grandmother was about to tell me she watched a porno on the Facebook, a banana peel, Vaseline and batteries. So you know, I was, it was.
B
Probably one of them five minute crafts videos.
A
You know, this was somebody removing their permanent tattoo. She said, you take the banana peel and rub it on your tattoo and you take some Vaseline and rub over and then you take a 9 volt battery, I guess you wanted to electrocute myself and stick it to it and rub it off. And she said that's they got rid of the permanent tattoo in, in that video. And I just had to tell my poor little nanny that there's nothing getting these tattoos off. God love her.
B
It was, it was rough. That's a staph infection, not a tattoo removal that, well, that will give you.
A
You know, don't it just kind of.
B
Like.
A
Older people when they get on the Facebook and they see something like that, they don't know it's not real.
B
That's why, hey, what kills me is.
A
Whenever my grandmother is on this app, stop using AI.
B
What kills me is whenever you get on Facebook and you see something that is very clearly AI, it looks like it came off a cartoon network. And you have Sue Ellen Sharon acting like it's real. Something catastrophic just happened. And it literally looks like we're playing the Xbox. Like it's so fake looking and they believe it and God love them. I just know that's why we should.
A
Ban people, old people, from having Facebook. They give me the most hell too. In my comment section, I've never had a hate comment.
B
I can't stand an old person on social media because they, first of all, they don't even know how to use it. But then they want to get on there and criticize the way that our generation is used in and live in our lives. Like, Susan, you were around with the dust bowl happened. I think you should sit this one out. Sorry, sue me.
A
You're right.
B
But take me to the judge.
A
But you know, I post stuff all the time on my TikTok and Facebook and stuff. And my grandmother does not have TikTok. She only has Facebook. Actually, I got a talking to the other day because I dropped a bad bird in my video.
B
Yeah. My family's kind of giving up on giving me a talking to.
A
My grandmother will say, that's not placing a Jesus. I know it's not, but you can love Jesus and say the word damn.
B
Well, hell is a place.
A
Yeah. And shit's just smells bad.
B
Yeah.
A
And ass was in the Bible.
B
Ass is the donkey and. And damn is the who for damn. So, I mean, I don't. Unless you're out here dropping some rap lyrics. Rap cuss words.
A
I think we're good anyways. But it's funny because I tell you this all the time. My grandmother will talk to me and she'll be like, you posted on Facebook.
B
I seen your video the other day.
A
And then she'll say, and then I seen Riley's video and Riley's video. He's gonna have to stop saying that F word. If y' all want to be famous, you're gonna have to stop using that F word. And speaking of famous, my poor little grandmother, she don't know what we're doing down here. She thinks that.
B
She thinks everybody in Nashville lives in the same house. So she's like, riley and Landon are up there living with Kid Rock.
A
She tells people that we're movie stars. My nanny will call somebody and be like, yeah, Landon's moving to Nashville. He's a movie star now. And God love her, she really thinks that we're movie stars.
B
One can dream. It's kind of a short form movie. If you think about it.
A
Where maybe stars. Nanny keep telling people. Yeah, yeah. She's gonna be watching this on her tv. My mom's gonna have to set it up for, and she's gonna have a heart attack. That we're talking about. Her.
B
My nana, she's not very technologically.
A
No, see, here's. So Riley and I are cousins. Our grandfathers are brothers, so my mom and Riley's dad are first cousins. We're second cousins. The family's not divided. We all kind of live on the same family compound. You know, if you don't live on the compound, you live, like, on the street. Right across the street from the compound. I'm gonna tell that street name because, you know, whatever. Why did you just do that?
B
What? I'm just waiting to tell my story that I started.
A
Anyways. Well, I'm laying the bricks for a story to start. My grandmother is 82, I think, or 84, I don't know. And my grandfather's, like, 79. I don't know. Riley's grandparents over here, they started early. They're only like, 55.
B
Nine. Nana 60.
A
Okay. She's drawn. Social Security just started.
B
Oh.
A
Anyways. What was I even saying?
B
Is that 60 or 65?
A
Anyways, Raleigh's grandparents are significantly younger than mine. And crazy. Tell. Tell them about your nana.
B
Nana gave me a.
A
What Are we gonna talk about how your nana's crazy? We were in El Trio one time.
B
No.
A
Beat the booth out of the back of the seat.
B
Well, he was acting a fool.
A
And she walked in the kitchen at some restaurant because the chicken was wrong. She knocked somebody off their moped in Panama City because they flipped her off. Come on, tell the story.
B
Don't mess with Betty. She will cut you.
A
Tell the first story now. Trio.
B
No, I was gonna tell a story about. What were we gonna talk about? It was fresh. Oh, Facebook. So my. Okay. A couple of weeks ago, my aunt passed away. Rest in peace, Aunt Sarah. And I had posted on my Snapchat story because, you know, I just vlogged my life and I posted on my Snapchat story, going to my aunt's memorial. Her memorial service. Well, we have a hospital back where we're from called Memorial. Like, Memorial Hospital and Chi.
A
Memorial. Yeah.
B
Not to be. Not to be confused with Grace Lund, Memorial Hospital and Grace Anatomy. Anyways, so my aunt. My grandma calls me, and she's like. She sounds like she's running a marathon. She's like, raleigh, why are you at. Why are you at Memorial? Why are you at Memorial? Okay. Remind you the day before I went to my aunt's memorial service. And so I guess she didn't see where I said, going to my aunt's memorial services.
A
She thought you were at Memorial Hospital.
B
She was like, why are you at Memorial Hospital? I was like, what are you talking about? I'm laying in my bed. Like, you woke me up. I'm not at Memorial. I'm in my bed. There's gonna be a memorial for me if I wake up this early again, though. And she was absolutely terrified, which, God love her. I love her. She was worried about us, but she just.
A
Because she thought. She thought you were going to Memorial Hospital and not your aunt's memorial?
B
Well, yeah, she just.
A
How was your aunt's memorial, by the way? I forgot to ask about that. Was it like a family reunion? See, our family said before subject, but we love Aunt Sarah. Is that her name?
B
Yeah.
A
Okay. Our family's kind of divided, so when we have funerals back where we live, it's like family reunions. You know, even the cousins get together anymore. We kind of just go in different places. So when we go to the funeral home, it's like a reunion. Somebody died. Everybody joins and we have a party that's. That's iconic.
B
The food is always so good. Somebody died so that I could eat a chicken tender with mashed potatoes. That's always my favorite part.
A
I've never been to a funeral.
B
I don't like death and I don't like. Like, it doesn't scare me, but I just don't like. That's morbid. I don't. I don't like stepping into a facility and smelling formaldehyde.
A
Our family don't get together really like they do, but only on certain occasions. And certain occasions are funerals. So we have like family reunions at funeral homes.
B
People only come and see you when you're dead. Pretty much.
A
You have a list?
B
Yeah. Me and Landon both have lists in our notes of people who can come to our funeral and people who can't. And I'm not planning on dying anytime soon. I just thought I'd look at all these cameras. You already know what I'm doing happens to me. Yes. When something happens to me. I didn't do it, but I lost my train of thought again.
A
Let's change the subject completely.
B
Okay.
A
Let's talk about our 18 day trip.
B
Okay. Oh, wait. We never talked about hors d'. Oeuvres.
A
That's on the 18 day trip.
B
Okay.
A
That happened on the 18 day trip. We went to this back in July.
B
August, we went on an 18 day.
A
Vacation and we went to the Marriott somewhere in Orlando first and we. We prepped for our cruise, which was nine days on that cruise ship. We won't talk about what happened on this episode, but we'll talk about it later. We'll dive in.
B
It was fun. We went with some people that we met on our last cruise. So BL and Terry and Jason and Juliana and Janet. If you see this, we remember we.
A
Got off the cruise and where we.
B
Go after that, New York. So we stayed in Coco beach for two days, then we got on the cruise for nine days. And then. Yeah, part of the story because we.
A
Went from Orlando to Cocoa beach and then Cocoa beach to the cruise and.
B
Stayed on the cruise for nine days, eight days, whatever. And then we flew to JFK airport in New York. Stayed there for. Of course.
A
Can we just talk about the food on the cruise?
B
Yes. I don't know what Royal Caribbean, if you see this, first of all, sponsor us, but if you see this, I don't know what you put on the water on that cruise ship, But I gained 16 pounds in nine days. Sixteen pounds, 1 6. Talk about. I had an extra roll under my right tit when I got back. I was struggling on that boat. And then I had to go from there to, like, business.
A
Can we talk about the toilets?
B
They're mounted on the wall.
A
When you flush a toilet on a cruise ship, it'll suck your balls off. It will.
B
Can we talk about the shower? Can we talk about the time that you were in the shower and for some reason the boat cut the water off and landed in the shower.
A
It gets completely cold.
B
And he says, riley, I have my. I'm laying on the bed on my phone, charging it. Riley, the damn water's off.
A
Go to the front desk. Go to the front desk.
B
So what do I do? I go to the front desk and I say, hey, my friend's in the shower and the water just turned up and he has shampoo in his hair. And he said, I'm so sorry, the water's gonna be cut off for three hours.
A
So I stood there.
B
Yeah, you stood there, you put on. I remember you put.
A
I actually have a Snapchat video.
B
You put on swim trunks. Insert the video, you put on swim trunks, and you open the door and you were wet and you were rinsing your hair out with a bottle of water.
A
I had no other option. I felt like I was in doomsday.
B
It was quiet, the water was off.
A
We had food, though we did have Food.
B
But everything closes at a certain point, and then by the time and in the shower.
A
Can we go back to the shower? It's like standing in a bank tube. Them things are this big, and you stand in them and it's like, okay. And we're gonna land in the freaking windjammer.
B
You know, it really sucks whenever you don't have a door to your shower and it's just a curtain. And so the water pressure, because you're in the ocean, the water pressure could blow a hole through a damn cinder block wall. So you're in there, and the water pressure is, like, beaming down on you.
A
And Riley doesn't shoot shower curtain. So when I go in, I do.
B
Shut the shower curtain. But when water is going turned at 100 miles an hour, it blows a shower curtain out. And then the whole bathroom floor is wet because the bathroom is 2 square feet.
A
You don't have shower etiquette.
B
The shower is this big, and I am this big. I don't have much room to. To, you know, throw a party. Excuse me. That I don't bend and snap when I'm in the shower. That is literally the size of a.
A
Roll of toilet paper trying to fit a gumball through a straw. It is.
B
I mean, shit, you try fitting. You see, you're skinny. You've never had to in that damn shower. I am. I mean, it would be easier for me to lather up the walls and just spin.
A
Like a car wash. Like a car wash. I'm getting weak.
B
I'm getting weak in the knees.
A
You're sitting down. Oh, Riley, we're back. I think my sugar's low. Oh.
B
I'm sweating. I need a box fan.
A
A box fan?
B
Yeah. Don't come between me and a box fan.
A
Do you sleep with a box fan?
B
Absolutely.
A
Okay, so it's colder than whale diggers crack in your apartment.
B
Yeah, because I don't want to sweat in my sleep. And I sleep with a top sheet. That's it.
A
You sleep with the top sheet. I don't even sleep with the top.
B
Only a top sheet. I don't sleep with a comforter.
A
I thought people slept with the comforter, but not a top sheet.
B
Yeah, I don't. I'm dip. I'm built different.
A
So you have the fitted sheet and then you have the top sheet.
B
I just sleep with the top sheet. I don't like to sweat during the nine.
A
Well, no, but nobody sleeps with a top sheet anymore.
B
I do.
A
That kind of gives me the ick.
B
Sue me. It's not a Crime.
A
Anyways, we were talking about the 18 day trip.
B
Yeah. So we leave the cruise and we go to New York for one day. We stay at the JFK Airport Marriott. And so not that far away from Times Square, downtown and everything. And we go. We stay in New York for one day. We go. I got probably 30,000 steps, which is.
A
More steps than you've had all year.
B
By far. Yeah, actually, probably my whole life. And so we went to the. We went to Times Square. Yeah. With all the billboards.
A
And ate pizza seven times the pizza.
B
We went to some pizza restaurant. It's like famous. They follow me back on Instagram. It was Law Industria or something. Yeah, it was good. I'll be honest with you, though. It's kind of weird to eat pizza when a gopher rat runs by your feet. I just can't take it very seriously. Whenever a small beaver runs across Central park as I have a piece of New York style pepperoni pizza in between my gums. I can't do it.
A
Oh, okay. And then after we left New York, we went to the Hamptons.
B
Went to the Hamptons. The Hamptons. For anybody that's never been. It is nice, but it is a glorified small town with old money.
A
I love that.
B
It was nice. I mean, we.
A
Riley didn't really enjoy it. He.
B
I mean, no, I did enjoy it. It was a fun trip and I was excited to go and I had fun.
A
But like, anyway, the topping Rose House. And we were some hoity toity hoopty doo, man. As Leanne Morgan says, hoity toity highfalutin people. And I mean, like millionaires, probably billionaires. I don't even.
B
We were having oysters and hors d' oeuvres or, excuse me, whore hours. Would you like to tell that story?
A
It was a hoard of our devour. A whore devour.
B
We're sitting there in. Or sitting there in the Hamptons. And Landon goes, oh, my gosh, Riley, what is a whore devourer?
A
I look at the menu and I see the word whore devour on the menu. And I looked at him. I was like, raleigh, what is a whore devour?
B
I said, lena, what are you talking about? He's like, I said, I don't know. The menu said, a whore devour. Why are we a whore devourer?
A
I thought we had got ourselves into some crazy mess in the Hamptons. I'm serious. I'm not lying. And I look, I was serious as a heart attack when I said this. I said, riley, what is a whore Devourer. We might need to leave.
B
And I said, landon, how's it spelled? He said, H O U R. That's.
A
Not even how it felt.
B
It was H O, R. Was it on a menu? And he was like, yeah. I said, landon, that's an hors d'. Oeuvre.
A
An hors d'.
B
Oeuvre. And we walk outside and there are people standing there like this, and they go, lobster roll. And then what else did they have? They had some kind of.
A
No. Riley got pissed off because he ordered lobster.
B
Okay. For the main course, it was beef tenderloin or lobster tail. Okay. First of all, the beef tenderloin wasn't beef tenderloin. It was a filet. Okay. And so I thought, okay, I don't really want tenderloin. I want a lobster roll.
A
Yeah. A lobster tail.
B
This lobster comes out on a bed of kale. They didn't even give me any drawn butter with it. I had to raw dog my lobster with salt. I wanted some butter to dip in it. You know, the butter with the open flame that.
A
I mean, it was a Hamptons. We should have got that.
B
But I will say, it was very fancy. Whenever you go into a restaurant, you just want you a good old Coke.
A
Out of a fountain machine, and they.
B
Bring you a glass bottle with an opener, and you're just kind of like, oh, mean.
A
They were. They were hoity toity. But, you know, I will say that the vibe of the Hamptons, it wasn't like everybody was super nice.
B
Yeah, everybody was super nice. But do you remember walking, like, down the road and seeing, like, 500 posters for houses for sale? And the cheapest one we found was Emily. $7 million.
A
And they have them all over the.
B
Strip because nobody, nobody to buy a house there. Not to mention. Hell, are you going to build a house out of sand dune? We went to the beach, and the beach was like. I felt like I was in the outer Banks. I felt like.
A
Did you watch that?
B
Yeah, I did watch it until we were in the car and your mother spoiled it for me and told me that someone died.
A
And then I never watched it again. Oh, so sad.
B
It's okay, though.
A
You're watching a Scandal right now, though.
B
Yeah.
A
You want me to spoil it for you?
B
No, don't do that.
A
I won't. I won't. But what episode are you on?
B
Season two. Episode? I don't know. I don't remember.
A
It's a good show.
B
It is a good show. I'm terrible at picking out shows. I.
A
Because you don't Watch them. This is Matteo Riley's problem.
B
Because if it doesn't catch my attention from the very beginning, I'm not gonna waste my time watching it. I'm not gonna watch some about some makeup, make believe stuff whenever I could be doing something productive with my life. That's not the problem. Instagram or catching up on my small town Facebook drama.
A
That's not all the problem. Riley can't get off the phone enough to watch anything or enjoy life.
B
Landon, I'm not going to watch a bad show. I'm wasting that. You're not going to watch any show. Never going to get back.
A
You're not going to watch any show because all you do is sit on your phone. That's it. Twitter or X.
B
You've got to think we're kind of content creators. That's kind of what I do for a job. I don't care. My screen time can't be any worse than yours. Look it up.
A
Oh, I'm excited for this one. I know it's going to be awful. Oh. What is your daily average?
B
What is yours?
A
What is your screen time for today?
B
Already one hour. Okay, what is yours? What was yours? What's your daily average?
A
Six hours and 40 minutes.
B
You're lying.
A
No, I'm not.
B
That says eight.
A
Oh, eight hours and 40 minutes.
B
Okay, if you're going live to me, don't.
A
What is yours? What is yours?
B
10 hours and 2 minutes.
A
Okay, but like Riley, I know you spend more time on the phone than that. That can't be accurate.
B
I'm sorry, would you like me to call Apple? Yeah, I'm sorry. Yes. Tim Cook. Landon is a liar.
A
Who's Tim Cook?
B
The CEO of Apple.
A
How do you know that?
B
Because I don't live under a rock.
A
I don't live under a rock.
B
A simple Google search would tell you.
A
Are you googling who the CEO of Apple is?
B
Have you never heard of him? Have you never watched an Apple event where they put the new phone up on the TV and they announced that everybody's battery is gonna go to because they want him to buy the new one?
A
I swear to you, they have a button in that Apple headquarters and as soon as they release a new phone, they go boop. And all of our phones go to anyways.
B
Landon, my screen time average for the week of November 16th through the 23rd was 35 hours.
A
That is insanity, Raleigh. And this is why you have tech neck.
B
Landon, leave my damn tech neck alone. I was screened for Scoliosis in the sixth grade and I didn't have it.
A
Actually tell them a story about that you wouldn't let him tell them. And then tell them about the other story about how you pissed yourself on purpose.
B
Okay, now you're cutting deep.
A
Go ahead and tell them. You were getting screened for scoliosis.
B
Okay, I didn't. I didn't actually want to get screened for scoliosis because you had to pull your shirt up and some old woman, old feeble woman, had to feel your back. And I didn't really feel like being groped at the age of 11. Sue me. I had my grandma come check me out, and I was crying because I didn't want to get fondled by Brenda that has done been a nurse for 75 years. Sue me. And then the other time I was in ISS because my teacher didn't like me. My seventh grade English teacher, she knows exactly like me. And she sent you to ISS she sent me to ISS And I was like, I don't want to be here. Like, I was told I wouldn't be here. Let me go home. They just made me sit and stare at a wall all day. So I worked up the nerve, and I finally just peed on myself and I caught a puddle in the floor.
A
Not just, like, dribbled a little. Peed a damn puddle.
B
It was carpet, too. She had to clean it up. I hated that bitch.
A
And you got checked out and you went home and you transferred schools the next day.
B
I sure did. I told him. I said, I'm leaving this place. I'll never be back. The next day, I went to the central office and walked into my new school, and I felt like the new kid. And I had friends everywhere.
A
Everybody loved you. And then she told a teacher that it looked like a tornado ran through her hair.
B
Okay, it did. I'm sorry. Sue me.
A
You were awful.
B
Landon, I've. It's called growth.
A
I had a teacher one time.
B
Lady, you can't talk about hair. You had a double pink and green mohawk. Yeah. Shots fired, right? Da, da, da.
A
Why would you do that to me?
B
Because you crossed the line with my peeing in the floor.
A
You're stupid.
B
Tell them the story.
A
I don't have a story. I was in the fifth grade. We were going on vacation to Panama City. My mom decided she was going to let us do whatever we wanted. And I had seen a year before that. It's like 2012, 2013, I don't know, maybe even 2014. But anyways, we seen a guy in the line of the Go kart. You know the Go kart? Line in Pigeon Forge the year before. And he had a double mohawk. It was like, shaved here and here, or shaved in the middle and on the sides, but. And one was dyed pink and one was dyed green. And so I done it. I done it on the last day of school.
B
How did that make you feel?
A
Looking back, I cannot believe my parents would ever let me do such a thing. But, you know, it was in the fifth grade, so.
B
We live and we learn.
A
We live and we learn. But, you know, I'll do it again.
B
Would you?
A
Yeah. If this podcast gets, like 50,000 views on YouTube, I'll shave my head again. A double mohawk.
B
That's.
A
Oh, is that a lot?
B
That's not a lot.
A
I mean, 1 million.
B
I was about to say. We're gonna hold him to that.
A
Okay, never mind. I'm not doing that. Maybe so he's alive now. Okay, standing 10 toes down.
B
I'm standing no toes down.
A
50,000 subscribers. I'll shave my head. A double mohawk. Pink and green. We'll take it Back to the fifth grade. 50,000 subscribers. I will shave my head with a pink and green mohawk.
B
I would just like the world to know that I'm not doing that for 50, 000 subscribers. I love y' all and I adore each and every one of your beautiful, kind souls, but I. There is nothing in this world that would make me do a mohawk. I have two moles right here and right here. And I'm self conscious about them. And I'm not shaving my head.
A
Not the moles. Do we even really.
B
You do need to make a bed of sorts, though.
A
Like, you need to bet something. Like, if I'm going to.
B
What should I bet? Mustache, full mustache, 70s porn style. I don't even know that I could grab one.
A
You definitely could.
B
I could probably, but I've never tried.
A
Okay, wait, hold on. If y' all hit. When I get that YouTube, I have 493k right now. I'm almost a 5.
B
I have 207k.
A
So what about 100, 000 followers on the podcast? Instagram. That's good. What will you do? Riley? He has to dress like that for three consecutive episodes with a wig. Okay, deal. If we get 100, 000 followers on Instagram, on our podcast page, Riley is going to dress like Riley here in this picture from when? Like the 80s. That looks like the 80s.
B
Even wear the wig.
A
Okay, deal.
B
Okay.
A
And grow a mustache and dye it brown.
B
Sure.
A
Deal. Deal.
B
Okay.
A
You have to walk around like that.
B
I would rather walk around like that than looking like Cosmo and Wanda with a pink and green mohawk. The Fairly Odd Parents.
A
Who's Cosmo and Wanda?
B
Your childhood sucked. You've had the same childhood. You've never. Bullshit. We didn't know each other to the sixth grade. But that's for another episode.
A
Cosmo and Wanda.
B
You've never watched the Fairly odd.
A
Have you ever watched the Rat and the damn Dog or something? Ben and Jerry.
B
That's ice cream, bitch. Tom and Jerry.
A
No, Tom.
B
You got that ice cream on your mind, don't you?
A
I thought it was Ben and Jerry's. Ben and Jerry.
B
Ben and Jerry is an ice cream company.
A
What is then what?
B
Tom and Jerry is a cartoon about a cat in a mouth.
A
That's what I'm talking about. Did you ever watch that?
B
Oh, yeah.
A
So we're not uncultured as children?
B
No, I didn't say that.
A
But I've never watched Cosmo and Wanda.
B
Well, the people know what I'm talking about. I'm hunchin' K. Technic Raleigh has tech back.
A
Riley has technic.
B
Landon thinks because I don't sit up like I have a 920 credit score all the time with my pinky out and my shoulders tucked that I'm a slob.
A
This is how you sit.
B
And what about it?
A
But if you would just, you know.
B
Yes. If I just sit like this all the time and I talk about finance and football teams and I just.
A
Yes.
B
I'm doing great. Does this extenuate the double chin?
A
Yeah, but you're stupid. This is Cousin Council. Why do you have me doing this submission? It's dumb.
B
It ain't my fault someone lives a stupid life off. This is severely up.
A
Okay, let the cousin Council begin.
B
Welcome back to Cousin Council. This is a segment where you give us your stories, hot takes, and you just want our opinion. And we're going to give it to you. So submit your submissions to bloodline banter thecastcollective.com and let us see what you got. Let's get started.
A
Are you ready? I'm ready, Judge Mitchell.
B
I'm ready. Judge Mock. Are you?
A
I'm ready. I'm kind of nervous.
B
Let's do it. Okay, this person says, my twin sister is marrying my ex boyfriend. Should I go to the wedding? What the hell? That's all I really have to say about that. I guess that twin telepathy took it further than we expected.
A
It sure did. That's awful. That breaks some kind of code.
B
Has to break some kind of code. I don't know. I mean, yeah.
A
What would you do in that circumstance?
B
Well, I don't think I could say that on the Internet because we'd probably get over.
A
Tell us a PG13.
B
I would show up to the wedding probably with, I don't know, a paintball gun or something. I feel like that could get interesting real quick. I'd turn that white dress rainbow with a paintball gun because that's up.
A
It is.
B
What would you do?
A
Along the lines of the same thing. You know, maybe just.
B
That's all I gotta say, is she might be your sister, but she sounds to me like she's a piece of.
A
And that has to break some kind of code.
B
She's a piece of shit.
A
She's a piece of.
B
You should remove yourself from that situation. What's next?
A
Let me look. Okay.
B
Landon's not prepared.
A
This person says, how do I get over a breakup? This is actually quite simple. You go to the Walmart, you go buy a lot of chicken taquitos and Hidden Valley Ranch and you go home and you eat your feelings away. That's how I would get over a breakup.
B
You.
A
Me.
B
To tell you what has never done me dirty. What a sweet treat.
A
Go get.
B
Literally, go to McDonald's or go to Sonic.
A
When the ice cream machine's working, it hits.
B
Yeah. Go and, you know, get you something. Don't eat your feelings too much because you'll end up like me and you'll be morbidly obese. But, you know, I think you should just deal with it. Don't take no shit from nobody. Have a. Like you said, have a fun time.
A
Go to the Walmart, go to the Target, go to the. Go on a shopping spree.
B
Don't box yourself in, because I don't care what anybody says. You. I mean, listen, don't jump right back into love, but, you know, jump your toes in the water.
A
Jump back into love with your friends.
B
Get on the app, get on the apps.
A
Yeah.
B
Download Tinder.
A
Yeah. And then jump back into love with a cupcake.
B
Yeah.
A
Eat your feelings away.
B
Literally. Let me carry something. A sweet treat or a little carb will never break your heart like somebody will. And that's. That's your case.
A
Adjourned.
B
Last but certainly not least, how do I stand up for what I believe in without caring what other people think? Listen, when you start writing my check. When you start writing a check with my name on it and in the memo section of the check, it says, believe like this. You ain't gonna get me to believe in. I formulate my own opinions for myself. And if you care what people think about you that bad, then get a damn hobby.
A
Start the questioning.
B
Go crocheting or something. Get your mind off of it.
A
What was the question? What was the question I forgot about?
B
How do you stand up for what I believe in without caring what other people think? If you believe in it that hard, you won't give a shit what other people think.
A
Yeah, that's pretty much just like. Just don't give a Ford.
B
Yeah, who cares?
A
Yeah.
B
So my advice to you is to not give a shit. And that was Cousin Council. Submit your emails at Bloodline banter@thecast collective.com. let us know what you got.
A
Case adjourned.
B
Shit. Well, after hearing some of those confessions, I think we're gonna cap it here. Can't believe you're in two different tax brackets with your Crocs and your Aloe. But.
A
And you called me out for the Double Mohawk, and now we have to give these people something that they're gonna.
B
I didn't make the bet. You made the bet.
A
Don't matter. Whatever. You pissed me off.
B
Better to be pissed off than pissed on.
A
Reminder, everybody. Whenever we hit 50,000 subscribers on YouTube, I will bring back the Double Mohawk. I'll shave it in the middle on the sides, dye one pink and one.
B
Green, and remember, whenever we hit a hundred thousand on the Instagram, I'm gonna dress up like a 70s papa for a couple episodes.
A
Just like that picture right there. Back there. That's right. Wherever you can find podcasts, Spotify, Apple.
B
All that follow us on our YouTube. Everything is in the show notes and in the description below. Thank you for tuning into the Bloodline Banter. We'll see you next time.

Bloodline Banter – Episode Summary
Podcast: Bloodline Banter
Host(s): The Cast Collective (Riley & Landon)
Episode: From Basements to Broadway
Date: January 29, 2026
In this lively, off-the-cuff premiere episode, cousins Riley and Landon reminisce about their humble beginnings, share the hilarity of moving from a small Southern town to the bustle of Nashville, dish on family quirks, recap their epic 18-day vacation, and answer wild listener submissions in the debut of "Cousin Council." Blending Southern humor, candid storytelling, and sharp wit, the episode sets the tone for a podcast that’s equal parts family therapy, roast session, and pop culture catch-up.
Early Days Podcasting: Riley and Landon reflect on starting the podcast in Riley’s basement on creaky Walmart lawn chairs, with budget gear and makeshift décor.
Leveling Up: Now the pair are recording with actual furniture, teasing each other about not knowing where everything really came from.
Small Town to Big City: Both express culture shock moving to Nashville, where "everyone thinks they need to be a tourist" and boots outnumber people.
Moving Day Struggles: Landon ribbing Riley for being unhelpful during the move, Riley claiming he’s hopeless at assembling furniture, and both poking fun at each other’s work ethic.
Fashion Choices: A running joke about Landon pairing an “aloe” sweatsuit with battered Crocs (and receiving a scathing critique from Riley).
Vacation Overview: Recap of a massive summer trip—Orlando, cruise to the Bahamas, New York City, and the Hamptons.
Cruise Stories: Hilarious complaints about cruise food (gaining “16 pounds in 9 days,” 22:24), toilet and shower woes (“When you flush a toilet on a cruise ship, it'll suck your balls off,” 23:03), and tiny shower stalls.
New York Outing: Eating at a famous pizzeria while dodging “gopher rats"; the culture shock of seeing real estate prices in the Hamptons (“...the cheapest one we found was $7 million,” 31:11).
Hors d’Oeuvres Mispronunciation: Landon’s confusion over the word “hors d’oeuvres” is a highlight:
On snacks:
"Mint chocolate chip. It's nothing but a crest 3D white bottle of toothpaste with chocolate chips in it." – Landon (02:08)
On moving to Broadway:
“Everyone on Broadway looks the same...posing like it’s New York Fashion Week in the middle of the road. …Every pair of boots I see, it makes me die a little on the inside.” – Riley (06:59)
On cruise ship showers:
“It would be easier for me to lather up the walls and just spin...like a car wash.” – Riley (25:24–25:37)
On funeral food:
"Somebody died so that I could eat a chicken tender with mashed potatoes. That’s always my favorite part." – Riley (20:30)
On “hors d’oeuvres”:
“I look at the menu and I see the word whore devour on the menu. I looked at him. I was like, Riley, what is a whore devour?” – Landon (29:02)
On family social media:
"Susan, you were around when the dust bowl happened. I think you should sit this one out." – Riley (15:09)
On not caring what others think:
"If you believe in it that hard, you won’t give a shit what other people think." – Landon (44:33)
Maintaining their natural, Southern-inflected banter, Riley and Landon blend nostalgic warmth with sharp, self-deprecating humor, frequently ribbing each other and their families. Their irreverent, uncensored takes (“Sue me”) are balanced by authentic moments of vulnerability about growing up, family, and friendship. The episode delivers both laughs and relatability, promising plenty more shenanigans in this new podcast.
