Hit your head that far.
B
Get away from me. I didn't hear nothing and you go there. You're stupid. I don't eat a lot of. But I ain't eating no damn tuna fish.
A
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Bloodline Banter.
B
I'm Landon and this is Riley and
A
we're here for episode. What number is this?
B
Five. Five?
A
That's crazy.
B
Dang, that's crazy. It's almost been a full month of the podcast.
A
Well, this will be the full month, right? Anyways, did you sleep good last night?
B
You know, I thought I slept well. I mean, I went to bed pretty early and then I Woke up around 4 and I went to bed for a little while. Oh.
A
I don't know why.
B
Okay.
A
I just couldn't sleep.
B
I can already tell that I'm.
A
Riley had the bright idea to go to Federale's last night and have a little margarita. And then I had a martini and then I just stayed up all night until 4am and then I went to bed and woke up this morning at 10.
B
All right.
A
Yeah, you're gonna have to quit.
B
Let me finish this piece.
A
Hurry, please. He's been chomping that damn ass and chewing gum all morning.
B
I like to eat my ass. Excuse me?
A
No, and that's fine. I don't really care about the eyes as much as I care about the damn chewing gum. You know, you smack.
B
I had to go get a margarita last night because yesterday was National Margarita Day.
A
Was it?
B
Yeah. I didn't know it until we got there and then it was like National Margarita Day. Whoa.
A
Anyways, we're going on a vacation on Saturday.
B
We leave in what, six days?
A
Saturday, whatever that is from today. And we're. Have you packed?
B
Landon, we're a week out. No, I haven't packed. I don't pack until like eight hours before we leave.
A
Riley also packs for a three day trip, 27 outfits.
B
Yeah, I do. What if I forget something? I don't want to be somewhere without something that I need and he takes
A
up the whole damn room with all of his.
B
But I also order us stuff that we can use. Like, I ordered us some fans, ordered us a lanyard, some towel clips.
A
Like, Riley's not sleeping without a fan.
B
No, never anywhere. It's me and a fan against the world.
A
You will die before you sleep without a fan.
B
I don't care if I am the President of the United States sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom. I will have a fan box fan from Walmart. I don't care where it's from. These Fans are about this big and you just lay with right next to my face. Name something better than a box fan.
A
I don't use a fan when I sleep.
B
You also don't use a pillow when you sleep. And you sleep flat on your back like you're in a casket.
A
That's how I'm comfortable. I also don't use a top sheet.
B
I don't use a top sheet.
A
I don't even sleep on them. I don't even sleep under my comforter because I don't like to make my bed, so I sleep with a blanket on top of my comforter.
B
Why don't you just sleep on the couch?
A
I do sometimes.
B
That's weird as shit.
A
You just recommended it. It can't be too weird.
B
Yeah, but. I mean, you have a perfectly good bed. All you gotta do is get.
A
And I sleep in the damn bed. But I sleep on top of the comforter so I don't have to make it.
B
Do you sleep with your AC on?
A
Yeah, like 65.
B
Yeah, mine too. 65 with a fan running all night before I go to bed. I.
A
No wonder your nose is stuffy every time you wake up. You've given yourself pneumonia overnight.
B
I sleep good.
A
Anyways, back on. Back on track. We're going on a cruise, and I. In our humble opinion, you can't beat a cruise with a stick.
B
You can't. There's buffets, there's bars. People you'll never see again in your life. The people watching is top tier.
A
Yeah, because. What do you mean? You are 75 in a Speedo. I wasn't gonna say that, but I was gonna say something different.
B
What were you gonna say? I was gonna say.
A
What do you mean? You're £700 and wear a string bikini.
B
Yeah, but that was rude.
A
I didn't mean to say that, but it's. Lord, forgive me. You know, we're just. Anyways, people watching's insane. The buffets are actually really good.
B
Yeah, I gained 16 pounds last time we went on a cruise. Hopefully I don't double it this time.
A
Oh, gosh. Is that. Are you gonna diet while we are?
B
My sodium's gonna be through the roof. Oh, no.
A
What about your cholesterol?
B
I went to the doctor the other day. My cholesterol's sitting pretty.
A
Oh, you went to the doctor. You got good results back on everything.
B
I did. I've been having some issues. I went to the cardiologist and, hell, if nothing changes, y' all gonna be with my ass for ever because, hell, I'm healthy.
A
As an ox, you're gonna live.
B
107 EKG, normal blood work, normal cholesterol, normal heart, healthy mind, craziest heart.
A
Arteries not even clogged, no blockages, nothing. I just. Just. Just Gad.
B
I'm just big.
A
Just Gad.
B
I'm just big and have generalized anxiety disorder. I have tits because I weighed 300 pounds at one point. But that's okay because they're going down.
A
And so I kind of. I want to get back on the vacation topic.
B
Well, bring it up.
A
I have been. And you keep getting off on a tangent.
B
Well, we are going to be on the same ship that Amy Bradley went missing. Oh, hell, in 1998, I think. Amy Bradley.
A
Okay, when you told me that, when you texted me that, I was like, oh, we're going to. And I didn't know she got abducted in 1998. I thought it was, like, 2018.
B
Yeah, but, hell, she still got abducted on the damn ship.
A
That's crazy.
B
Some of those crew members work on those ships for a long time. Like, once you get into the industry,
A
I can assure you that the band member that got accused of she's. Have you talked to him on there?
B
Have you talked to him?
A
No, but we're gonna have to figure out.
B
I might need to call Cash Patel if he can stop partying in the locker room with the men's hockey match and.
A
What do you mean? I don't want my FBI director doing that.
B
He's chugging a beer.
A
And I get that.
B
You can have fun in the world.
A
I mean, have fun on your own.
B
3. Still missing. Things are going on in the world, but never fear, Cash Patel is drinking a beer. Is drinking.
A
Do not fear. Cash Patel is drinking a beer.
B
Do not. Never fear. It's okay.
A
Anyways. But off that topic, onto the next Riley. We leave on Saturday morning. We fly out at 5:25am we fly out at 5:25aM Mind you, we booked this whole entire vacation about five days ago.
B
Yeah. The other day, Lana was like, riley, I really need to go on a cruise. Like it was gonna take any damn convincing. I said, okay, book one.
A
I booked one.
B
And then I booked us in. You.
A
And then I booked our plane tickets. Or the day before yesterday, we leave at 5:25am Riley gets groped every time he goes through TSA.
B
I could go through TSA naked and they would still pat me down thinking I got something on me. Every single time I get pulled to
A
the side and they say, do you want a room?
B
They say, sir, we're gonna have to pat you down. I'm gonna use the back of my hands to go in a motion like this. In a motion like this. Would you like to go to a private screening room? It's pretty damn bad that I know the damn pep talk they're gonna give me before I get groped. So then I'm like, just do it. You know, whatever. And they go
A
and they find nothing.
B
Can you turn around? Guess what they find my ass. That's it. So tsa every time listening, it's Chris, Director of Homeland Security. If you could please put in the system that I'm not a criminal to quit patting my ass down every time I go through the airport, I would be forever indebted.
A
At least we don't have to fly through Atlanta.
B
People shit on the Atlanta airport.
A
It's just the workers. It's just the workers.
B
It's just TSA workers land and they're miserable everywhere.
A
Speaking of, we're in a partial government shutdown right now, so we're not even going to. They suspended Precheck and something else.
B
But they sure didn't want your ass to apply for pre check so they can get that money, huh?
A
I don't even get they can kiss my ass. Well, TSA is always rude to me. They grow.
B
Right now they're not getting paid.
A
I yelled at the one in Atlanta that one time. She said, you don't have pre essay Precheck. I said, yes, the hell I do.
B
He sure did. They wear those ugly ass green Kermit the Frog suits in Atlanta.
A
And they don't like you said last episode. They get. They don't even. They're so miserable, they don't even know their favorite color.
B
Yeah, they are. They're really are just depressed people. And I hate that for him. But you know what? If you hate your job, then damn, quit it and find a different one. Go be a damn rural mail carrier. The USPS is always hiring and they
A
suck and they could use some help. Don't you agree?
B
You know who else could use some help? The Amazon delivery drivers that bring the damn package to our apartment. Because those lazy bitches never put my package where it's supposed to be. We have a mail room and everywhere, like there's two sides of it. There's signs above.
A
You're using great imagery today.
B
Thank you. I appreciate it. There's signs that say the floor. And since I am on the eighth floor, they're supposed to put my floor, my package, under 8, 8, 8.
A
Where do they put it?
B
11221 14, not 8, because I'll go in there after it says delivered and if they don't put a picture, if they don't take pretty much a damn selfie like this with my package, I can't find the damn thing.
A
I don't. You order a lot of stuff though.
B
Yeah, my point, that they should know, like, hey, damn, this is ordering something else. Might as well put it where it goes. Nope. You would think after I submit so many claims with Amazon saying my package is missing. One time I did that with an Apple watch band. They sent me a replacement and then it came up on the 8th in the 8th section a couple days later. So now I have an extra Apple watch band, which worked out well because my dog eats everyone I have.
A
Your dog eats your apple watch bands?
B
Yes. He's eight, probably five.
A
Why?
B
I don't know. I guess it's like a fetish or something
A
I don't have. I don't order enough stuff to have that problem, but mine is always in the right spot.
B
Yeah, you don't hardly ever order stuff.
A
No, I have to have instant gratification. I, I, I do too.
B
That's why I order it, because I can get it in three hours. Living in Nashville, we're a major distribution hub.
A
Tell a story about Tinder. Oh, I have a Tinder profile that I created.
B
He's on the market, ladies.
A
No, that I create. I'm not. I created two and a half, three years ago. I get a random notification and it's, they tag. It's a Tinder notification. And I was like, what? Oh, I forgot I have this. Well, you know, silly old 19 year old, 20 year old Landon had the first picture on my profile is a shirtless picture, obviously. And Riley calls me and goes, look at the TikTok I just sent you. Somebody has screenshotted my Tinder profile and put it on the TikTok and said it wasn't on my 2026 bingo card to find my favorite content creator on Tinder and lo and behold, it's the shirtless picture of me. It's gotten thousands of views. And so I, you know, and this is where I have a problem with this, but I can't, I don't have the right to have a problem with this because I post my life on social media and I get that.
B
I'm like, you do post your life, but I don't post your personal life on social media. That's the only thing I hate about like being in an entertainment space.
A
But anyways, I DM'd Leslie. And Leslie took it down. And then I asked her if she swapped.
B
Right. Did she?
A
No. What a thing.
B
Well, that's the one thing I do hate about being, like, in the entertainment industry, I guess. Or just having fans, having a platform. Because people think every part of your life is fair game, and it's really not. I don't talk about certain things on the Internet for a reason. I don't want you to bring up my dating life, you know.
A
Yeah, agreed.
B
Or any part of my life. Like, you see what I tell you on social media, there's no need to like.
A
So now this has taught me. I have cut off discovery, and I'm not in the card stacks anymore, so you will never find me on the Tinder. I need to get on that famous dating app. What's it called? Raya. If anybody could invite me to that, I would greatly appreciate it. Oh, wonderful. Catch me on Raya.
B
Okay.
A
Anyways,
B
I forgot.
A
I was gonna say.
B
You tell me I have dementia.
A
No, this is important.
B
I forgot you're younger than I am. Riley. Did you sleep good last night? I don't think you told me no.
A
I went to bed at 4, but I didn't sleep bad. From 4 to, like, 10.
B
How did you wake up? Okay. It's not terrible. I did get a text from you at, like, 11:01, you said. I tried to call you. I was asleep.
A
I thought you were dead. No, I did, actually, because you don't usually go to bed that early.
B
I don't. But you have the code to my door. You could have came and checked. So if I was you, just would. I lay there and had rigor mortis
A
and you sleep naked? I'm not coming in there.
B
I sure do. I ain't got no shame in my game.
A
Anyways, you wanted to talk about the weather or something, didn't you?
B
Well, I mean, hell, two days ago, it was 75 degrees and I was wearing shorts. And then this morning, I step outside and my. Your damn nipples could cut titanium. It's freezing outside. Like, I don't appreciate this weather.
A
It went from 70 to 24 overnight.
B
Yeah. The damn weather stop like it seen a state patrol.
A
A Georgia State Patrol?
B
Yeah.
A
That patrols the state of Georgia?
B
Yeah, Georgia State Patrol.
A
They will hide in the damn bushes.
B
You don't know anything about Georgia. I know some of y' all are not from Georgia. We're from Georgia. I don't know if y' all knew this, but there was also another adventure. And his name was Trooper something because them Georgia state patrols Will hide in a damn tree to give your ass a ticket.
A
They will.
B
They. I mean, hell, if you see the blue, you better run, okay? Cause they will you up. They will, and they will laugh at it. One time, hell, your mom got pulled over and. Or was it my mom that got pulled. I think it was my mom that got pulled over, and they were like. Mom was like, I've never had gotten a ticket from a Georgia State Patrol before. Blah, blah, blah. And he was like, the pleasure's all mine.
A
Happy to be the first.
B
What a bitch. Must not have had a good donut that morning. Must have been stoggy from the Krispy Kreme.
A
Oh, my gosh. Y' all are not gonna believe who it is. Hannah. Hannah.
B
Hannah. Hold up.
A
Hannah.
B
Grab her.
C
Has to be picked up how you normally do.
B
Hannah.
A
Hannah.
B
This is Hannah. She is visiting us all the way from the Big Apple in New York City.
D
Say hello, New York, New York, baby. Technology in New York has reached a level that some. Straight up your volume, Hannah.
B
Turn up. Hannah. Hannah. Hannah. Turn up your volume.
D
Turn up my volume. Okay, let me try out without headphones.
B
Hannah, are you snowed in?
A
My grandmother called me this morning or
D
yesterday and said, I lizard, and I've never looked better. I'm wearing silk.
B
I can tell. You look gorgina.
D
Yeah, you can tell. You can tell that there's little clothes, and those that are there are silk, honey. Come on now.
C
For the people only listening.
B
For the people only listening, I'm holding a Rolo robot. And this is something that your friends can, like, drive into.
A
Like, they can control.
B
They can control her. I think it's actually for pets. She's actually probably looking right at me now. It's for pets, but.
A
But anyways, Hannah used to live here in the. In the Nashvagas. And we loved her so bad it hurt. Hey, Hannah.
B
And she left us for.
A
She left us for the Big Apple.
B
But it's okay, because one day, we're gonna see her on Saturday Night Live, and you will, too.
A
Yes. And so this is how we visit Hannah. She makes an appearance every time.
D
All right. Say with your chest, Mommy's gonna make you proud. Come on.
B
There you go. You got this.
A
So, yeah, this is Hannah.
D
I just wanted to pop in. I heard y' all recording earlier. I was trying to play some spooky noises to scare Sean, but I just wanted to pop in because I could sense that my boys were maybe chatting a little bit, and mommy wanted to come. Cha cha. Check it out.
B
Well, we are so glad you did. We miss you terribly. Come visit soon.
A
Let's talk about the Winter Olympics.
B
Let's please do that, because.
A
What the hell do you mean you woke up one morning and decided that you knew how to bobsled? Who discovers that? That's just one of their talents.
B
Bob. He decided he wanted to sled down a hill on one of the things.
A
That was the dumbest shit I've ever seen in my life.
B
He decided he wanted to sled down a hill on one of them things you rolled around with in pre K at field day and down the ice with a helmet. And they do it like this. They're like, stiff as a board.
A
Yeah. Rigor mortis.
B
Yeah, they got rigor mortis sliding down the icy hill. On, for bobsledding, you're thinking of skeleton bobsled.
C
When there's four people and they jump in, like, 1, 2, 3, 4. And they get in that little tube trick spaceship. You're thinking when they lay flat on their back.
B
Oh, okay.
A
I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. All I know is.
B
All I know is that if I was bobsled and I'd pick the fattest person to put in the front so that way they could pull us down faster, you know, they would put me in the front. That way I can.
A
You might need to sign up for the Winter Olympics next year or whenever they do that.
B
Asthma, anxiety, and high blood pressure. I am a liability to the Team usa, okay, and that's why you're not in the Olympics. Yeah, but.
A
But the only sport that I. Oh, let's talk about curling. What the.
B
Why the hell do they call it curling?
A
They're sweeping the damn floor.
B
Yeah, it's like shuffleboard for people who are not drawing Social Security yet.
A
That is such a good analogy.
B
They're like. They get so. They're like.
A
All it is is sweeping with Olympic level confidence. My mom could do it. I don't know. If I was curling in the Olympics and I needed like.
B
I bet you could get a group.
A
I could sub my mom in and she'd do just that.
B
I bet you could get a group of moms in there. And they did better. Moms. Moms with more than two kids. They're always cleaning the damn house all day long. They've got to be good at sweeping.
A
And why is it called curling?
B
I wonder how much they're getting paid to do that.
A
Oh, hell, sign me up. Sign me up. The only sport that I really just, you know, is normal is they can
B
receive bonuses of $37,500 if they win gold, $22,500 if they win silver, and $15,000 if they win bronze. On top of their Olympic salary.
A
Well, what's their Olympic salary? Because I hope and pray that it's more than 37. Whatever. And you've not even talked about the most important thing.
B
What?
A
I need you to sit up straight and get excited to talk about this.
B
Excuse. Excuse me. What are we talking about?
A
You want to talk about how we beat Canada in hockey?
B
Oh, yeah. Team USA Hockey, the men's team beat Canada for the first time since 1980. And on top of that, I'm pretty sure the guy's name's like, Jack Hughes or something. Lost two teeth in the game and he still made the winning goal for.
A
Don't let it just make me want to fly an eagle in there.
B
That makes me want to sing Toby Keith to the top of my lungs while eating a hot dog and drinking a Mountain Dew, watching a damn NASCAR race. That makes me. I think we should pour maple syrup in the Boston harbor and ban Canadian geese from ever entering U.S. airspace again. You Canada. Kiss my ass. We need. America is your daddy. That's it.
A
Go Team USA Yeah, we. We dominated. My favorite sport to watch is just really none of them. Ice skating's okay.
B
That girl ice skater that has the. The hair, that's like. Her dad fled from Communist China. I just. Her. She has the hair, it's like Burnett. Blonde Burnett. Blonde Burnett. She is so good.
A
I don't know who that is.
B
She just be skating out there with elegance and grace. And you me to tell you, last time I went ice skating, it was at the Chattanooga Choo Choo with a whole bunch of friends. I busted my ass at least six times, and I finally just caved and got that damn thing you put in front of you like a walker where you hold onto it and you just. I have a picture. We can insert the picture. It's quite awful. That shit hurts your ankles more than anything in the world. And I see people. I seen, like, the men's team after they won. Some of them ran off to get their kids to take the team picture. They were running like. Like how you would run down a sidewalk on. Damn.
A
Well, there's a reason these people are Olympian. Olympians or whatever you call it.
B
Yeah, I can tell.
A
Yeah, they eat, sleep, and breathe this stuff.
D
It.
B
Damn.
A
But is it over? Are the Olympics over?
B
Yeah, they ended yesterday.
A
Did we win? Like, did the US Win?
B
I think Team USA pulled in more gold Medals than they have, of course, in a long time.
A
Do we always pull in the most gold medals at the Olympics?
B
Not always, but we do a lot. The Summer Olympics. The Summer Olympics are coming up and then the Olympics are going to be held in LA in 2028.
A
You want to go?
B
Yeah, I want to go.
A
How do we get tickets to that?
B
You have to. It's like a lottery system, I think. And it's hard to get tickets.
A
We could probably find somebod to know.
B
If you can get us into the Olympics. Let us know because I want to go and vlog it.
C
Norway 1.
B
Norway.
A
Norway. Isn't that the cruise line?
B
Nor that's Norwegian. Oh, Norway is like.
A
Isn't that like they won the most gold?
B
The movie Frozen. We're like, fix them a blowout. And that kind of what Norway looks like. Just a bunch of Vikings in the
A
middle of like the glaciers. No wonder they won in the winter.
B
Of course they won the Winter Olympics. Hell, for It for the US to have the west in Arizona, it's probably like 80 degrees in Arizona. For there to be a place in the USA where it's 80 degrees and for us to win, come in second place in the Winter Olympics, I think all the other countries should kiss our ass. Respectfully.
A
You're right.
B
Respectfully.
A
Anyways. Yeah, no wonder they.
B
Norway, of course they won the Winter Dam Olympics. It looks like the North Pole. Santa Claus lives in Norway. Hell, that's cheating.
A
I want to go kind of.
B
I need to put in an Olympic service request to whoever is in charge because that's bullshit. Why the hell.
A
They're just cheating.
B
Yeah, we got beaches here. They got glaciers. Of course they won the damn Winter Olympics. Yeah, that's for you, Norway.
A
But congrats. I want to talk about something else. This is kind of off topic.
B
Okay.
A
I think that there should be a sauce to food ratio law in this country because we went. I went to a fast food restaurant the other day, they gave me one sauce for my whole entire meal. There should be a law where you at least get for every three chicken nuggets, you should get one pack of sauce.
B
You know what? And I think we should enshrine that into the United States Constitution. It should be in there because I don't want to have to raw dog my eight piece chicken nugget with one Chick Fil A sauce.
A
Okay, but you will never have to do that about Chick Fil A. Chick Fil A knows the law when it comes to sauce to nugget ratio. And it's not even just to nuggets. It's sauce to frost sauce.
B
You know what I can't stand? Whenever you go to like an Italian restaurant and you order like, like chicken Alfredo and your damn noodles are swimming in Alfredo sauce.
A
Oh, I love that.
B
I don't like it. That just screams cholesterol problems to me. And I don't need any help being well. Hell, nevermind. I got a clean bill of health. Give me the soupy fettuccine, baby.
A
I was just saying there needs to be a sauce to food ratio law in this country.
B
I agree.
A
It should be like the 28th, 29th amendment. How many amendments are there?
B
28.
C
If you guys want to make some changes to the constitution now, it's probably the time because some crazy shit's going on.
B
You know what, though? It's 2026. Ain't nobody can agree on shit. Somebody would have a problem with your damn. Your amendment. They'd be like, well, you don't need more than sauce. Didn't want to be included into the bag. You know what I have to say to the sauce? That's for you. So far I've given one to Norway, Canada and people that and people that. Yeah, I've got more where that come from, so just keep watching.
A
Anyways, that's my. That's my hot take for the day. Also, I have one more actually, just needed to say this. I don't know why I paused so long, but. Do you ever eat the end piece of bread?
B
No. Desperate times call for desperate measures. But you know, my papa uses it. It's like the first one he grabs out of the bag.
A
I think he'll make sandwich not wasting anything, but I'd rather just starve than the last piece of bread on the end.
B
Do you eat the waffle fries from Chick Fil a that have the. They're called like the turtle backs or something.
A
Fries are not my favorite thing. You know that. But I eat. I'll eat a. Yeah, okay.
B
I don't like the end piece of bread. There's too much there for me. Too much grain. It's just a big piece of crust. Yeah, I don't like the crust. I peeled it off until I was 22 and I'm 22. I don't. Why do you think I like an uncrustable?
A
Yeah. Is that why they're called that? Well, yeah. Cause it's just the middle of the bread.
B
Yeah.
A
Hey, you learn something new every day
B
that's new to you?
A
Well, I'd never really put two and Two together. Could we not shit on my thoughts today?
B
I ain't shitting on it.
A
I mean, let me have my moment.
B
You had it. Trust me.
A
No, I was just saying I don't eat the last piece of. Or the end piece of bread.
B
Yeah, I don't blame you. I don't like it either.
A
Especially if it's, like, whole wheat or something. It's just straight damn wheat.
B
If you eat whole wheat bread, you are automatically way healthier than me. And I don't care if you are 943 pounds. If you eat the. If you eat whole wheat bread, you're doing something right, because you will never catch my ass with a piece of wheat bread. It is white bread for life.
A
You bought some sourdough the other day and didn't you?
B
Sourdough? Yeah, I ate a couple pieces for breakfast, but the damn pieces are so big that it's long.
A
It's just. If it ain't white bread, you know?
B
I'm gonna tell you, the only reason I got that sourdough bread, because they were at Whole Foods, and I seen a woman grab it. Grab the loaf and run it through the slicer. And I was like, oh, my God, I want to do that. So I did. I grabbed it.
A
I forgot to tell y', all, we might need to edit this into the front of the episode. I suffered an injury this morning on my chin, and I cut myself. I was shaving. So if you're watching this, just know that that's what's on my chin. I suffered a minor injury which inhibited my ability to drive here today.
B
Yeah. Landon texts me, said, do you want to drive to the studio today? Because I have suffered an injury that inhibits my ability to drive.
A
I cut my chin.
B
That inhibited your ability to drive?
A
Yeah.
B
What did you do this weekend?
A
Well, that was random.
B
What?
A
I didn't do anything this weekend. It was kind of off topic.
D
I went.
B
I know. I just. I mean, I was just wondering what you did this weekend.
A
What did you do? Oh, you went home.
B
I went home to see my grandma. Had a doctor's appointment, so I drove home and I stayed with my Nana and Papa, and I woke up in the middle of the night to go into the kitchen. The kitchen. To get a snack. And Nana. One thing about Nana and Papa's house, they be having the snacks, okay? Every grandparent that I have, they be. They'd be with the snacks, okay? That's just a prerequisite to Nana and Papa's house. And so I go in there and it's like 2 o' clock in the morning, and I have my phone, using it as a flashlight. I'm walking steady, trying not to wake them up. And by the way, I think that we could run a full damn parade through the house at night and they wouldn't wake up because I'd be coming in there sometimes for getting their sleep, stomping my feet.
A
And they don't wake up.
B
No, I'll be getting an hour. I mean, I'll be shutting the door, opening the refrigerator, shutting the cabinet, the damn fork door be squeaking. And the next morning, I'll be like, nana, did. Did you hear me? She's like, no, baby, we didn't hear you at all. I was like, well, shit, they could
A
sleep through a damn earthquake.
B
Hell, y'.
A
All, don't you wish you could sleep that good? Yeah, that's just years of life. They're retired and done.
B
And anyways, I went into the kitchen and I opened up the cabinet, and I see some chips, some cookies, you know, whatever. I look up, there's a sour cream container. I see sour cream in the cabinet. And I'm. The first thought is, my pawpaw has, like, he's perfectly healthy. He ain't got dementia or nothing. Has stuck the damn sour cream in the cabinet. So I was like, what is this? I should have known better. Cause I'm in the middle of nowhere in the south, and I see, listen, if it can be reduced, reused, or recycled, grandparents will keep it to put something in My grandparents. There's some damn cookies in this Daisy sour cream container. So the next morning I told Nana, and she was like, yeah, you pawpaw did that. And Papa said, did you try one of them cookies? Them cookies? Cookies is good. It's peanut butter and chocolate.
A
I was like, did you try one?
B
I did, after he told me, yeah, they were good. It tasted like you got a saltine cracker and put peanut butter on it and then dipped it in white chocolate. It was pretty damn good.
A
That's actually a good dessert.
B
That's what I told Nana that she should do.
A
My grandparents, my portal nanny will wash red Solo cups in the dishwasher.
B
My nana, and it's just like, we're
A
not that damn bad nanny. Like, we throw the damn red Solo cup away. What the hell are we doing?
B
Yeah, you know, listen, at grandparents house a damn. Do you know how many times I've opened up a country crock butter container? Seen damn spaghetti.
A
Spaghetti, yeah. Or that's where we get our lock and lock containers. From it's just Daisy, sour cream tubs, butter tubs, Just anything you could possibly think of. And we don't even. I remember growing up close to Christmas time. My mom didn't even throw away like our cereal boxes or anything because she would put presents. She would wrap my presents in the cereal boxes.
B
My parents have done that before too. One time I opened up money from my paw paw for Christmas and it was in a salon. Pos what is that? It's like back ointment. There was like 500 rolled up in a back ointment box. I open it and I was like, you know how when you get socks, you're like, oh, socks, thanks. Open it. I was like, oh, back ointment. I'm 13. And he's like looking at Riley and I was like, oh, okay. I was like, oh, thanks. I was like, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah. So.
A
But grandparents, well, we grew up in the south. If it's like you said, could be reused, recycled or whatever the hell grandparents invented.
B
Reduced, reused and recycled.
A
Yes, the three R's.
B
They did.
A
I mean it's. Yeah, it's a real thing.
B
And I just, you know, it's a great time to be there. But I will say this.
A
And you also had a heat stroke while you were there.
B
I mean, I'm thinking about it. Shit.
A
I know.
B
Me too.
A
And it's my grandparents. I live with my grandparents for two years.
B
Is this how women don't their menopause feel?
A
I live with my grandparents for two years and God love them, you're in the house with not dementia patients, but you're essentially with nursing home patients in your grandparents house. And they have to keep the. What's it called?
B
Well, the spare bedroom. At my 75 at my grandparents. The spare bedroom is also my nana's crafting and sewing sewing room. So I'm laying right next to 500 balls of yarn and damn serger and a sewing machine and with a box fan. I bought mine on of that sewing machine for her birthday. And you would have thought I gave her a million dollars.
A
And. And she uses it.
B
She does. She's every day. Speaking of that. Every day. Uses it every day. They keep grandparents keep longer than anybody. I don't understand it. I can buy a pack of forks and maybe this is just me calling myself out for being irresponsible. I can buy a pack of forks and by the end of the year I've got one fork left. One's under my bed. Three of them have been thrown away. One of them I Didn't feel like washing.
A
So you threw in the trash.
B
Yeah, Nana has the same damn set of knives, butter knives, since 1974. I was in the damn womb. And they are sharp. Like I was cutting a steak the other day. I was like, nana, we hand me a steak knife, she pulls out a damn butter knife. This butter knife. You could use it as a damn shank.
A
It.
B
It was like you can see the damn crisp point on.
A
My nanny and papa's the same way.
B
They.
A
And they won't let you throw nothing away. Well, my Dutch oven that my nanny sitting down here with me TO Nashville is 30 years old. Yeah, she's got some blue Corning ware is what it's called. I looked that up on ebay the other day. One dish was worth like $14,000 because
B
it's so like 1 4s,00 0.000 swear.
A
And she's got a whole damn set from like the 60s.
B
You gonna find my ass at the Goodwill when we leave here. Because if I find some damn Corning Ware, that shit is getting sold on the ebay. I'm not sentimental when it comes to $14,000. I will sell my soul.
A
No, you will not.
B
Not my soul. But I will sell.
A
But you will sell that dish.
B
Oh, hell yeah, I'd sell the dish. Hell yeah, I'd sell the dish. Speaking of my heat stroke, though, my paw paw, like you would think that he might as well put one of them lock boxes on it, like in the gym with the key for the thermostat. Because you think if you touch a thermostat, it's like he's going to shoot a laser out of the ceiling that bangs your ass.
A
Because they want it on 75.
B
I looked at my nana and I said, nana, he had done went to bed. I got to tell you something off camera, he had done went to bed. And Nana goes, your paw paw keeps it hot in here. Like, he, he don't like to change the air. And I was like, nana, it is hot in here. It 75 degrees. I'm burning up. She goes, yeah, I know when we sleep, we keep it on 72. That's like I had a damn heat stroke. I. I probably lost two pounds of sweat, three pounds that night. I was like, okay, let's. Let's open the window. Let's put the fan in the window. Okay, well, it's supposed to rain at 4 o' clock in the morning. I was like, okay, I'm gonna just leave the door open. Set the fan in the Doorway that didn't work. So finally I got up and I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna get bitched at.
A
Did you change the thermostat?
B
I sure the hell did. I put it on 70. And you know what? It made a world of difference. Cause I put it on 65. But hell, when it's 150 degrees somewhere, 70 degrees feels like you're in damn Antarctica.
A
I get it. I lived with my grandparents for two years now.
B
My nana was like, well, you can just sleep on the couch. You could turn on the fan in here. That way it rotates the cold air. Well, yeah, I would love to do that. If y' all didn't wake up at 5 o' clock and watch the morning damn news with some coffee. Because at five o', clock, I'm not really trying to be woke up by the smell of. Well, actually, I'd love to be woke up by the smell of bacon frying, but not at five o'. Clock. Because they be waking up early. They be going to bed at 7 o'. Clock. Waking up at 4:30 to start the day.
A
They're disciplined.
B
That will never be me.
A
Never say never.
B
I'm saying never. I ain't going to bed in no damn school.
A
You'd rather sleep in a tent?
B
Hell no. Don't take it that far.
A
Well, what if you have?
B
You would have to pull my cold dead body into a tent. We went tent camping one year and I'd be damned if I ever get another tent.
A
I've never been 10.
B
If it comes down between me going on vacation, having to sleep in it, I am not camping material. Okay, me either. Put me and the damn Hilton Honors, the damn Marriott Bonvoy, the damn Ritz Carlton. I am.
A
We stayed in that in Florida.
B
Kip. Kip. Y' all done got me so messed up.
A
I think this is a great place to just.
B
Well, let me just make it crystal clear. Don't ever invite me to tent camp. Cause my fat ass ain't going. I need memory foam and a box fan. And I ain't never seen an outlet in a tree.
A
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. This is severely up.
A
Okay, let the Cousin Council begin.
B
Quit. I wasn't doing that to be funny.
A
Well,
C
Riley, that.
B
I'm out of damn water.
A
Come on, bitch. For real. Oh, shit. I don't know why I'm laughing.
B
I'm uncontrollably. Okay, you're Gonna have to do it. I can't. I don't know what's wrong with me.
A
I got a virus or something.
C
Pull it together.
A
Be serious.
B
Welcome back to Cousin Council where we give you advice on your real world problems. This is not legal advice. And you then become a liability. If you want to submit your submission, email bloodline banter@thecastcollective.com let's get into it, Cousin Council.
C
I get married in one week and I slammed my left hand in the car door after getting in a fight with my fiance to the point where all of my fingernails are black and falling off. I have to put a wedding ring on my finger in seven days and I don't know what to do because I obviously don't want to tell anyone that I got in a fight with the man about to marry in a week. And what do I do about my hand at the wedding?
A
The ring goes on the left hand, right? And that's the one she slammed. I fear that you shouldn't be getting married to start with if you're fighting with your boyfriend or fiance.
B
Well, that bad. I mean, hell, listen, back home where I live, my grandma has a really good nail lady. Her name's Kim. And Kim, if you're watching shout out and if you have a good nail person, I think they could fix it. Just throw in some acrylics, you know.
A
But if it's black and blue, then
B
throwing some acrylics, then paint the acrylic.
A
Are you dumb? Her hand, not just her nail.
B
Oh, her hand.
A
Her hand is smashed.
C
It seems to be bruised and her nails are like gonna fall off.
A
She thinks she's completely freaked it up.
B
Perhaps just use the right hand.
A
Perhaps just not get married. That's my advice. If you're fighting before, make sure you're
B
standing on the left side and then have him put it on the right hand side. The audience can still see it. And then just tell everybody. We just wanted to make sure you
A
don't just swap what side of the thing you stand.
B
Is it customary for the man or the woman to stand on one side or the other?
A
I think it is.
B
Oh, hell, I don't know. I'm not married.
A
I think you just don't get married. And if you do get married, then don't tell anybody what happened.
C
A nice satin glove, you know, perhaps.
B
A satin glove, like. No, like the royalty.
A
What are you going to do, slide a ring over a satin glove? That's not how that's supposed to work.
B
I'm pretty sure it's Been done before.
C
It's either that.
A
Well, you're either breaking norms or not getting married.
B
You know what? I don't know what I was going to say. Just he could just give you like a bracelet instead of a ring, but
A
that wouldn't make much portion of this is her whole hand is Fred up that you don't understand.
B
And give her a necklace. Put the ring on a necklace and hang it around your neck. When he says place the ring on the finger. Place the ring, move the veil, pop it around the neck. I mean I'll better wear a satin glove and use your neck as your ring. Hell, I don't know. I ain't married.
A
I think.
B
I'm on some today.
C
Our next one. It starts with my grandfather hasn't died yet, comma, congrats. But he keeps test testing us in quotes by giving money to one grandchild at a time to see how we react. I think I failed mine last week. How do I recover without being fake? That's he's just so he or she is saying that the grandfather is testing the grandkids by giving the money and seeing how they react. I think I failed mine last week. That's all I have. That's all the context I have. Whatever test, she must have blowed it. Well, or she got really, really excited when she got money and he wanted her not to care about money. I don't know.
B
How much money are we talking about?
A
If my grandma gets me money, I'm blowing the shit out of it.
B
But if it's the inheritance, then you might want to make sure you put it back for a rain.
A
Don't get it to me then. What are you going to be an Indian giver? Give it to me and then tell me how I can spend it. That's not how that's supposed to work.
B
I mean I don't think papa has a problem with the way she spends the money. In the first place. She ain't got the money yet.
A
She failed the test.
B
I hate that for you. Ask for reassessment. She failed the test. Is there a way more context? I think I'm confused. I need more context. I think I got the gist for this one. We need more context. So if you sent that, make sure you send a follow up email. Just reply to that same email to Bloodline Banter atthecast collective.com because I'm interested to see if like you have enough money to like buy a bungalow in Bora Bora or if we're just going to like Party City. Okay.
C
Okay. You guys got a random email from someone named Kayla and she loves the show.
B
She.
C
It's from Virginia and she listens. Wow, Riley.
B

C
She listens every day on the way home from work, and she left her phone number with an area code. I think you guys should give your fan a shout out. Give her a call. Call her, see how she's doing.
