Transcript

[A]

Get away from me. I didn't hear nothing and you go there, you stupid. I don't even love this, but I ain't eating no damn tuna fish bread.

[B]

Hello, everybody. Welcome to Bloodline Banter. I'm Landon.

[A]

And I'm Riley.

[B]

Today we have a special guest on. She posted a tik tok a little while ago and the comments were flooded that we needed to do a little collab situation. So without further ado, please welcome the Appalachian princess herself, Ms. Katie Combs.

[C]

I'm in Nashville, baby. I'm here.

[B]

Are you? Well, tell us about your journey here. And it's your first time here, right?

[C]

First time here? Honey, I'm in the big city, you know, I'm not used to it. But we're here, we're making it and we're surviving. It's not that far. It's only three and a half hour drive.

[A]

No. So that's not bad.

[C]

It's not that far. So we come in a day early to kind of get settled, you know, get groceries, get snacks, kind of figure out what we were doing.

[A]

But how's the city treating you? Is it a culture shock from back home in the foothills of the valley?

[C]

Well, we're staying at the KOA so it's like they have little cabins there. I love a KOA and it feels, it's not like right in the city. It's like, it's cozy. It's got a little screened in porch. You know, I got up this morning, had my cotton candy Alani. Okay. You know, you like a Lonnie.

[A]

Landon isn't saved, sanctified or delivered. He doesn't do. Do anything but coffee.

[C]

Well, you know, and I hate that for you.

[A]

I love a good energy drink. I love, I love an Alani.

[B]

I think it tastes like cough syrup.

[C]

Have you tried the cotton candy one? What? Which ones have you tried?

[B]

Just like the cherry one. Cherry slush, maybe.

[C]

You've gotta. You've gotta venture out.

[A]

Which one's your favorite?

[C]

Cotton candy.

[A]

Really?

[C]

Cotton candy, Strawberry Dream and then like Juicy peach, probably.

[A]

You can't beat pink slush. To me.

[C]

I'm not trying pink slush.

[A]

Oh my gosh, that's my favorite. That's like everybody's favorite. I think you need to try it.

[C]

Have you tried the new cherry bomb?

[A]

No, but I'm going to get it as soon as I can.

[B]

I feel so left out of this

[C]

conversation, you know, and whose fault's that? It feels like this show is sponsored

[B]

and, and it is.

[C]

And, and I, they. I do get PR from Milani.

[B]

Okay. Well, that's iconic.

[C]

I. I know. They've sent me the cherry bomb. I wish.

[B]

Maybe if I tried a different flavor, I would like it.

[C]

Yeah, I don't like the cherry slush. It does taste like cough syrup.

[A]

A little bit.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

A little bit.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

You're sponsored by socks, by the way. That's what y' all look like.

[B]

Oh, we're all high water waiting right

[C]

now, you know, and that's called maturing.

[A]

You know, listen, every time they kind of ride up a little bit, I feel like I've changed my credit score and I belong in, like, the Hamptons or something.

[C]

I mean, before it's over, I'll be in knee. Really? And I will need compression salt.

[A]

I mean, Katie, tell us a little

[B]

bit about how you grew up. Like, you grew up in the middle of nowhere, Kentucky.

[C]

Yes. So I grew up in the foothills of Appalachia in a little area called Red Lick. Now, if you're. If you're ever in a holler in Kentucky, there's licks everywhere. Licks and Knobs everywhere you look. They'll be like, Red Lick, Blue Lick, Pilot Knob. You know, they've got.

[A]

It's little town, little.

[C]

Little communities.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[C]

So they're all in the same town, but there's these little communities all over. So I grew up in a little community called Red Lick. My paw had. I think he had like 300 acres there. And all my fit. All my family lives down one little hollow road. And then. So when me and Dylan got married, I moved up on and deeper into Appalachia in. We go by counties. I live in Jackson County.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

And, you know, I just.

[B]

And you said earlier that your county, like, has one.

[C]

One stop lot in the whole. Yeah, the whole county.

[A]

So coming from there to Nashville is like.

[C]

I didn't drive.

[A]

You're in a different world.

[C]

I did not drive. Dylan drove me. I don't think I could have made it.

[A]

No, honestly, the people here drive like they are on their last life. Like, it's actually embarrassing and takes years off my life every time.

[B]

You know, Riley and I grew up in a super small town, but are we. We're not in Appalachia, are we?

[A]

I think where we live, we are right at. Right at where it starts. Like, we're right at northwest Georgia, so it's like we're Appalachian enough to like.

[B]

But it's a different culture.

[C]

Ain't flatlanders. Is it flat?

[A]

No, no, no. We have, like, it's pretty, like, mountainous,

[B]

but in hilly yeah, yeah.

[C]

So you're probably, like, in this, but,

[B]

like, we, like, in a. In a. Like, grew up on a farm, you know, like, we have, like, 200 acres.

[C]

Okay. Period.

[B]

And, like, it's like a whole family compound. Like a whole family compound.

[C]

And that's how it should be.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

We didn't do.

[B]

It's a blessing and a curse for 100. You can't escape.

[C]

You can't escape.

[B]

We escaped.

[C]

You did. What about y'? All? Look at y'. All.

[A]

So does all your family, like, live close together?

[C]

Like, so down that hollers my granny, one of my aunts, both of my uncles, and my mom, only one of my aunt. She lives about 45 minutes away. And then, of course, all the cousins, you know, there was no room, really.

[A]

That's how we are.

[C]

So we had to. We had to move off. So. But yeah, I mean, my whole family's right down there.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Do you think that what you do, like, how social media started? Like, are you the talk of the town?

[C]

Like, maybe.

[B]

Because I'm sure nobody, like.

[A]

Well, that's out of your town.

[B]

Nobody is, like, famous.

[A]

There's only a couple people that are, like, notable. And this sounds like, big headed to me from my town. And, like, since we maintain, like, a social media presence, like, it's always kind of a topic of conversation.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Well, where I'm from, there's another girl, Brandy Ky. Girl, 34, and she shares a lot more of the culture. Like, she's very into that. So, I mean, there are other creators kind of in my area, but honestly, I don't really. Do you all even think about it?

[B]

No, I don't, because I. We were. I have imposter syndrome. You know what that is?

[C]

Yeah. Sometimes when I get stopped still, I'm like, oh, my God. Hi.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know what I mean?

[B]

Like, I'm still shocked because this is, like, foreign to me.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, And I've not been. How. When did you start social media?

[A]

What did you do before social media?

[C]

So before. Well, God, y' all have asked me two questions at one time. Which one do you want?

[A]

You choose.

[C]

So for years and years, I worked at Maria College. It is a little college there in town where, like, the majority of the town works, and they have a program where you have student workers, and they don't pay tuition, so they work out their labor. And I worked in dining services at a little cafe on campus, so I worked there for a long, long time. And then I worked at Brea Hospital during COVID So I don't know if you all remember, but, like, when you would walk into the hospital or the doctor, they would, like, screen you. So I would sit there at either the ER or the front desk and, like, take people's temperatures as they come in. And that was, you know, it was really boring. It was really boring.

[A]

I'm sure you have some funny stories from that, though.

[C]

Honestly, not really. It was so boring, really, because I was so used to, like, working in the kitchen or, like, waiting tables and, like, sitting there all day. I was like, this is actually hell.

[A]

Actually, I don't think I could ever work in that setting because, you know, HIPAA exists, and I love to tell little honey.

[C]

He would tell something. He would hate to tell something.

[A]

I would.

[B]

You would tell people's business?

[A]

Not business. I would never say their name.

[B]

But you would.

[A]

But I would definitely go.

[C]

I don't think. If you don't say their name, well,

[A]

then I think someone should hire me right now for the front desk, because I would get.

[C]

You would love to know what's going on.

[A]

I would. I need everybody's details. Like, I really, like, I'm just nosy as hell. I'm nosy as hell. It's in my blood. It's in my DNA. I think it's in everybody's, whether they want to admit it or not, period.

[B]

I'm nosy.

[C]

S. I mean, I'd hate to tell it, too.

[A]

I'm telling you, I, I, I don't want to be involved in the drama and.

[B]

But you want to know.

[A]

But I want to know. I want to be, like, the news reporter. Like, I need to know every detail. But if you're going to tell me something, I need to know everything.

[C]

Don't keep nothing out.

[A]

Don't tell me.

[C]

Don't keep truth.

[B]

Do you know what? I hate when somebody posts on Facebook. I've got an unspoken prayer request. Tell me, Tell me what I'm praying about anymore.

[C]

I think, you know, I ought to just message her, and if she has something to say about it, then, you know, you, you put it out there.

[A]

I need to know if I'm praying because Granny fell and broke her hip or because you have chlamydia. Like, you know, I, period.

[C]

There's two different for you, but we want to know which one.

[A]

I need, you know, I need to

[B]

be specific with the Lord.

[A]

I need to have an intersection with, with the man upstairs, but I can't do that.

[C]

If you, if you really want me to get on my knees and pray and beg and cry. Out I need to know what I'm,

[A]

I'm calling out I need to shout to the Lord.

[B]

So how did the social media thing get started? Did it happen on accident?

[C]

Yeah. So after I worked at BR Hospital, I had my own little small business where I sold only Kentucky made products. And then in the summertime, I would sell Kentucky produce and stuff like that. And then it just got to where it was a lot of work. And I was like, I can't do this anymore.

[B]

Selling produce.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Honey, you're a gardener.

[C]

Do you need a ch. Keep purple tomato.

[A]

I love your gardening. Listen, anybody that can cook or garden on Tik Tok, I watch them. You and, like, Emily Anne Roberts, I could sit and watch.

[B]

Watch me all crochet a blanket.

[A]

Watch y' all pick a damn tomato all day long.

[C]

Yeah, I love a tomato.

[A]

It's impressive.

[C]

Well, you know, I used to do a lot more. I used to have, like, a little market garden. So I would sell, like, the eggs for my chickens, and then, like, I would can. And then whatever I had left, I would sell to, like, the people that had my or that had got eggs from me.

[A]

She was a homesteader.

[C]

I literally, before, it was cool, like, before COVID broke out and everybody was doing it.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And then it's become cool. And I was like, well, I don't even want to do this no more.

[A]

Everybody does it now. You drive down the road with, like, two stop signs, and you're going to pass three. Three farm markets and like, yeah. It's like, gosh, yeah.

[C]

So I just have a couple raised beds in the backyard these days. And, you know, I just grow enough for us to eat on during the summer.

[A]

I could kill a cactus. My parents do a. Do a garden about every so often, and they will go out and they'll harvest whatever they get, and then probably, like, four weeks in, they'll get so pissed off, they just mow over all of it.

[C]

And, you know, that's. You've got to have.

[A]

Nobody wants to go through and weed a garden.

[C]

Well, that's. That's why I love my raised beds, is because it's not that bad. You know what I mean? Very controlled plant. Enough to where, like, it shades the. The dirt that you don't have as much.

[B]

Damn. You need to be working in the Lowe's garden department.

[C]

I would love to. Honest to God. Honey, I know a flower. I know my honey. I know my vegetable plants. Yeah, I know about Katie's nursery.

[A]

Coming to a city near you.

[C]

I almost did. So Kentucky has A program. I'm pretty sure now I'm nobody fact checked me on this because it may not be true, but they have a program to where you can get funding from the state to put up a high tunnel which is a greenhouse.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I almost did that on our property, but then I was, I got pregnant and I was like, I better figure out what no I'm doing first. Yeah.

[B]

And that's when tick tock came. Did you start tick tock before you.

[C]

Yeah. So after I closed my business, my grandma passed away and I had a whole mental breakdown and sit home for about three months, got pregnant. You know, I was really.

[B]

You was down in the D.

[C]

So then I was just like, well, I just would like to get a little job, you know, where I have no responsibility because I had had so much responsibility owning the business. And I was like, I just want to wait tables. Because one thing about it is I'm good at waiting tables because I, I never shut up.

[B]

Oh, I waited tables and I never shut the hell up either.

[C]

I love it.

[B]

Didn't you make such good money too?

[A]

I think I would be good at it, but I don't have. I could be the people pleaser aspect, but if I tried to hold a plate of food like this right here, I'd baptize everybody in gray.

[C]

Honey, if I can do it seven months pregnant, you can do it.

[A]

I don't know if I can or not. I was walking in my backyard one time, I broke my leg.

[C]

Damn, I did. You know, that's pretty bad.

[A]

Straight up.

[C]

That's pretty bad.

[A]

In the hospital, the day before I left to go to the beach, what

[B]

video took off for you on social media? Do you remember what it was?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

The one I saw. I don't remember exactly what you were talking about, but you were wearing like a teal colored shirt. It was the very first video I've ever seen. You were sitting up in the car and you, I think you open it and you were like, now listen, I'd hate to gossip.

[C]

And you know that that adds up. That probably adds up. Yeah.

[A]

I don't remember what you were talking about.

[C]

I had done like vlog videos for a long time and there's a lot of work, like the, the creators that are pushing out recipes and vlogs and have editing and stuff.

[B]

Oh, and they're like the cameras in every corner of their house and so much work.

[C]

It's so much work. And I had just had a new baby and I was like, I, honest to God was on the Brink of like quitting, doing tick tock. Because I just got into the creator water program and I think I was making like two or 300amonth.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Which is still good. But it was a lot of work.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Compared to what? On every single day. Like when you're first.

[B]

Oh, you have to like sit down and edit for hours and. And it's. Yeah, it's a lot.

[A]

I still don't know how to edit a video.

[B]

I don't either, really. Like, I do, but like, I just.

[A]

If I can't get it on the first time, it wasn't made for me.

[C]

I forget it.

[B]

He's giving up on our content is very much similar. Like you just set your camera up and start rambling, don't you?

[C]

Yeah, yeah. And so I'd sat down and I told a story and that had been up for like three weeks, maybe even four.

[A]

I can't remember the video I seen.

[C]

Yeah, it had been up a few weeks and it took like, I think it had like 30, 000 views. And I literally think it was the day that I was like, I can't do this anymore. Like, I cannot do this. And overnight. So I don't know if somebody reposted it or shared it, but it got like a hundred thousand views, 200,000 views. 300. I think I. I think it was like. I think it ended up getting like 5 million views. And then I just kind of. I was like, okay, people want stories. You're gonna.

[A]

I mean, people are nosy as hell. I mean, everybody is nosy. Everybody wants to know.

[B]

So you just kept going with that, that style of content, like storytelling, everything.

[C]

I gave the people what they.

[B]

I have residential coffee on my list.

[A]

Well, that's another thing that, like I started watching you from is every morning you make your residential coffee and tell a story.

[C]

Yeah, I do miss doing that. There's just a wild ass toddler running through my house anymore. And it makes it a little more tricky.

[A]

I ordered some Mason jars the other day because I. I got a juicer for Christmas and I've been juicing.

[C]

He's on a health and wellness truck,

[A]

putting it in my refrigerator. And I pulled out a mason jar and I thought to myself, this is Katie's residential coffee right here.

[C]

You know, and I love that, that you put that together.

[A]

It was, it was great. It actually tasted better out of the masonry. I don't know if that was like placebo or whatever.

[C]

Placebo.

[B]

For sure.

[A]

Yeah, for sure.

[B]

So y' all drink coffee out of Mason jars?

[C]

I Drink everything out of a mason jar.

[B]

I have to buy my coffee every morning.

[C]

Do you have a Breville, like an espresso maker? See, I was going to Dutch Bros like every single day and it's like 45 minutes from my house.

[B]

Oh, hell. You were spending the money on the gas and the money on the.

[C]

Well, I'm stay at home, Mom. I was bored to death. You know, I'm really going through it. I just needed to go somewhere and I would go get Dutch fries every morning. And it was not cheap.

[B]

No.

[C]

So last year for Christmas, I got a Breville and it was a little tricky to figure out. At first it's just an espresso maker, but once I figured it out, I was like, period. I. I may have went through a drive through to get a coffee like five or six times then.

[B]

Oh, so you really committed to the residential coffee?

[C]

Yeah, because the revel was high as hell and I was like, if I'm gonna buy this, your ass is not going through the drive through. Drive through, yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That is such.

[B]

Maybe I needed.

[A]

Because I would buy a Breville and then I'd get pissed off that I didn't know how to work it for two days. And I just would never.

[B]

I seen a creator on Tik Tok and they bought like a $2,800 espresso machine or whatever. And I'm like, if I.

[A]

If you're going to do that, open a coffee shop.

[B]

Well, if I bought that, maybe that would force me to.

[A]

Well, the brevilles, if a $2800 coffee machine is you to drink coffee at home, we have bigger.

[B]

I think if I got like a $200 or $150 coffee machine, I would drink, I would keep.

[C]

Now I also have an espresso. I bought them when they were on sale at Christmas and they're just like pods, like a Keurig. And I do like it. Like, if you're gonna start trying to make yours at home, I'm going to start.

[B]

Because right now I'm just using the instant coffee crap.

[A]

He'll never start. Shut the hell out. He's so full of shit.

[B]

They never. He don't have any faith in me.

[A]

I don't.

[B]

The problem is we live in.

[A]

He's had an espresso machine before. He got one for Christmas a couple years ago and it damn collected dust. And you literally moved out and moved to Florida and left it at your mother's house at home.

[C]

And Riley would hate to tell it. Riley would. Would really hate the truth.

[A]

Is setting him free every.

[B]

Well, the truth is about to set me free even more because in the apartment complex we live in, it's got its own coffee shop in the lobby, and that's.

[C]

That's dangerous.

[B]

So all you do, you have to pass a coffee shop to.

[A]

I've been maybe two times, and we went down the other day and Landon literally looked at the girl and said, it's my favorite barista.

[B]

And I was like, I've been 20,

[A]

you know, middle name.

[C]

Y' all texting. No, but maybe you ought to be. You know,

[A]

you grew up a lot like us, though. You were super close with your grandparents. I mean, church, I think that's a

[C]

part of the church ain't going good.

[A]

Listen, my aunt and uncle are Pentecostal preachers. I love that you have never seen the hellfire and brimstone in your life,

[C]

but I will tell you, you said they're both preachers. Yeah, honey. You let her step on a pulpit up there where I used to go to church, they would. Yeah, honey, women don't preach up there. Absolutely. You better stay silent.

[A]

There's a lot of people who believe that back home, too. And she doesn't preach every Sunday, but, like, she ain't.

[C]

I'm here for it, honey. Preach, honey.

[A]

Let them know it.

[C]

Let them know you.

[A]

She can sing.

[C]

Obviously, I didn't line up with that. You know, women being silent in the church, that didn't really correlate with me.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So I'm here for.

[A]

It's fun if they're. If people are silent, you know?

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

Was it you that said in a video one time, the higher the hair, the closer to Jesus?

[C]

Probably higher hair, closer to God. And, yeah, I'm really not pulling it off today. I really had a hard time with my hair this morning, but I had to give it to God, you know,

[B]

give it to God as much as I could.

[C]

And I said, you know what? I've not got it.

[B]

So this whole social media journey began or whatever, and now you have a podcast of your own, and it's called the Listen Honey Podcast. If you've not tuned in, you need to go. Follow that everywhere. Subscribe, like, comment all.

[C]

Yes, I am.

[B]

Tell us about why you wanted to, you know, do a podcast or why.

[C]

Listen, honey, I think we can all agree that I'm a little long winded and I have a really hard time with short form content. And as much as I love making short form content, I really do, like, I really do want to sit down and have those deeper conversations. About, you know, how people got where they got where they're from and how they were raised and what, you know, just kind of what made them who they are. And I think people in general are getting away from short form content, podcast and stuff. You know, you can put your headphones in and you can still be productive. You're not sitting in doom scrolling. Right? So. Yeah.

[B]

And then listen, honey. You just. That's what you say. That's like, listen, honey. Yeah, listen, honey.

[C]

And I just. It just comes out, listen.

[B]

So more or less you have a lot of to say and not enough time to say on a tick tock video.

[C]

Yeah. Because yalls attention spans are literally. Yeah.

[A]

So bad.

[C]

It's so bad.

[A]

Has Loretta made her debut on.

[B]

Oh my God. We're walking to the car this morning and Riley goes, we have to ask Katie about Loretta. And I said, who in the hell is Loretta? So this is new to me and I have no idea what we're about to talk about, but Loretta

[C]

is my alter ego and she comes out after a few drinks. And last time she come out was at the Creekers concert at Manchester Music Hall. I had three beers and I was asking every in there if they had his old friend because I was about to puke. I was like, does anybody in this building got his old friend?

[B]

So, you know, did they have one?

[C]

I did find.

[B]

You could have gotten.

[A]

It was probably a pentecostal woman that had no.

[C]

I knew her. I knew her. I knew her from high school. And I was like, listen, I'm bad off. Thank you, Savannah Sarver. I was like, do you have a Zofran? And she was like, she. She pulled out her purse with that damn medicine cabinet and I said, period. I think she gave me some Pepto Bismol too. I did not puke that night.

[B]

That is a Loretta.

[C]

But the thing is, it's like, you know, some people like to go listen to live music and they're sitting in their chill. But like, I can feel it in my spirit, in my body, you know, Like, I'm not be. I'm not chill. Like, I am dancing. It don't matter if y' all are dancing or not. You should be like, I can feel it in my body.

[A]

It is on my 2026 vision board to take Katie Com's Honky Tonkin.

[C]

You might regret it.

[A]

Okay, well, take Loretta.

[C]

I know I don't drink at all anymore because I can't. You're done. I cannot drink. No.

[A]

Done.

[C]

No. I don't know if it's like The GLP one or what? But, like, I get sick and, like, I've got responsibilities, you know, I can't be down bad for a day or two. I can't.

[A]

Loretta has retired.

[C]

She's. She's toned it down for sure.

[B]

But does Loretta come out even when you don't have a drink or two?

[C]

You know, that live music really does something to me. I'm not going to lie.

[A]

You know, that leg starts getting a little shaky. You just have to listen.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. You'll see one day. Maybe. Maybe, maybe.

[B]

Oh, Lord. Do you have anger issues? Like, do you get angry? Not like anger issues, but, like, do you get angry easily or. No, not really. I think flip your lip.

[A]

Landon's asking, because he does.

[B]

Well, I just have a short tolerance for. And I will flip my lid in four seconds.

[C]

Not necessarily flip my lid, but I have a very open policy. Like, if you're doing something ignorant as hell, I'm going to be like, what are you doing? Yeah, yeah, like, we need to talk about this, because that's. That's ignorant.

[A]

That's the Southern woman of God in you.

[C]

And, like, I don't get mad. I don't usually let myself get to that point because when I do, I feel like I'm going to have a stroke. Like, and I don't like that. Like, I can't live like that. So I just try to be very open and honest with all conversations. That way it doesn't get to the point where I'm mad.

[A]

I'm only 23. Almost 23.

[B]

Almost 22.

[A]

I said almost.

[C]

Lando, open your ears, honey.

[B]

Well, hell, I'm deaf or something.

[A]

Story of my Life. I'm only 23, but I feel like the older I've gotten, the more like, I have zero tolerance for.

[C]

Well, honey, you got a long way to go. It's all I know. Something happens after 25.

[A]

If it gets any worse, they're going to have to institutionalize my ass.

[C]

We might have to give you some medication.

[A]

You're going to have to send me up on a hill in Appalachia by myself.

[C]

And we can do that.

[A]

Just give me some Wi Fi and Netflix and we.

[C]

We can make that happen.

[B]

Is WI Fi shitty out there where you live, though?

[A]

Actually shitty here.

[C]

Jackson county has the best Internet in the state, so PRCT has fiber optic. Don't ask me what that is.

[B]

Okay, I think it's.

[C]

But they got it on the ground.

[A]

Our cousin does it and it works better.

[C]

And. Yeah, 5G. We got 5G.

[B]

Oh, I heard one time that like

[A]

5G was like of the devil, but I think that was just a conspiracy.

[C]

I think, I think everybody needs to calm down. I heard that too. And I'm like, y' all are really

[B]

pushing it way bad. You mentioned earlier the GLP1. You and Riley both have lost a lot of weight.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I thought you were going to fall through a crack. Coming through.

[C]

I literally.

[B]

You walk through the door and I was like, damn, if she loses another pound, she's going to blow from here.

[C]

To come to packing nabs, I mean, do you all know what nabs are? Sometimes I say that and people have no idea what.

[B]

I don't know what it is, but

[C]

do you know what they are? Jason?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Peanut butter crackers. You know, a little. A little pack of crackers.

[A]

Oh, we call those peanut butter crackers he their nabs.

[B]

Nabs.

[C]

Don't ask me. Yeah, don't ask me why. Maybe.

[B]

Probably.

[C]

Probably. Yeah. Nabisco crackers. It.

[A]

It's weird to me, whenever people, you know, cars, like the trail mix, people will be like, what are you eating for a snack? And people will be like, I'm eating cars. Like, no, just say you're eating tricks. You know what I'm saying? Like, I, I don't understand.

[B]

Are you on her nads?

[A]

I mean, no, but I'm just saying, like I, I just say peanut butter crackers. Or we, we say we want some neo crackers. Cuz the brand never heard that. You've never had a neot cracker?

[C]

No.

[A]

You need a neot crack. Isn't that what they're called? And dip it in coffee.

[B]

I don't remember what they.

[A]

Peanut butter knee cracker. Dip it in coffee. That right there is a southern galaxy if I've ever known. They literally are.

[B]

Check to make sure. Anyways, you glp war it up and now you've gotten skinny. And if you lose another pound, you're gonna blow.

[A]

Hey, you've got that flannel on today and the wind's blowing. That wind catches up underneath that flame.

[C]

You're like, I'll be flying through Nashville.

[A]

You're like wicked. You're just out of here.

[C]

Listen

[A]

into the unknown. You've never had a knit cracker.

[B]

That's a packing into the unknown.

[A]

Is that not from Wicked?

[B]

That's from frozen. Anyways, do you think your weight loss journey, was it hard?

[C]

I wouldn't even say that it was hard. It's just something that I knew that I had to do. Like I've got a child that I want to be there for. For the rest as long as I can and the best health that I can be in. And it wasn't even that. It was harder. It was easy. It was just like, you have to do this. And like, regardless, you're doing it so kind of, you know. I wouldn't say that. What would you say, Riley?

[A]

The hardest part is when you just want to eat a damn. Like a platter. Shit. You know, you just.

[B]

You just get.

[A]

You're just sitting there and you're like, God, I'm hungry.

[C]

Like, damn.

[A]

And I really just want a pig.

[C]

What's your, like, weakness? Like your, like, your weakness?

[B]

A potato chip.

[A]

Any kind of damn potato. I don't care. When God made the world, on the very first day, he made the potato. In my opinion, you can fry him

[C]

right in the ground.

[A]

Fry that. You can roll it, you can bake it, you can cook it, you can mash it, you can smash it, you can put it into a potato chip. In my humble opinion, I wish you pretty much, you know, there's nothing better. I'm about to quote scripture right here in front of God and everybody.

[C]

Listen, I'm. It probably says something about it.

[B]

3:25 Thou shalt eat a potato every day.

[C]

Now what's your life?

[A]

They belong in every meal. You can have a potato chip with a sandwich. You can have breakfast potatoes. And you can have a baked potato for dinner. And you can have damn potato candy for dessert, period.

[B]

Katie, did I just speak into potato chips? And they are very good fire. Yeah, my guilty pleasure food is probably a. Just a good old honey bun. I could eat a whole box of

[C]

a honey bun now. Do you heat it up in the microwave?

[B]

I do heat it up in the microwave.

[C]

How many seconds?

[B]

Like 12, maybe 10. I always get it too hot, but if I don't get it too hot, then it's not hot enough.

[C]

Now do you have to eat it with a fork?

[B]

No, I eat it out of the pack.

[C]

I mean, when you heat it up, you heat it with a fork.

[A]

Heats it in the microwave.

[B]

I hate it in the microwave.

[C]

I know. That's what I'm saying.

[B]

Oh, do I eat it with a

[C]

fork after it open it?

[B]

No, I just open the package and like pull it down a little bit and eat it out of the little plastic wrapper.

[A]

I get mine and I.

[B]

But sometimes I fry my honey bun in a skillet with butter.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And eat it with vanilla ice.

[C]

That is some fat ass activity.

[B]

That is good.

[A]

And you know what? He can do that. He can do that and not gain a damn ounce. And if I just him doing that, if I was in the same room, the calories would come right through my nose and make me a 300 pound again.

[C]

Well, I'll tell you what really done me and over Christmas, other than those potato chips, is they put those Reese Christmas trees in my stocking. And that was the devil, because there's something about them, the Reese trees, that ain't in the Reese's cups. They got. They got something. Something a little extra in there and they listen.

[A]

It's the same thing with the Reese's Easter eggs. It's better if they're festive.

[C]

Yeah, it's the ratio of peanut butter. It's. It's so damn good.

[A]

I don't care what it is.

[C]

So damn good.

[A]

It's like a party in the mouth.

[B]

So it's like, what would you say your guilty pleasure food is savory sweet.

[C]

God, I love Reese's cup. But I also love, like, McDonald's fries.

[B]

Oh, you and Riley are going.

[A]

I know what we're doing after this.

[C]

We are not too good for McDonald's.

[A]

I've never been.

[C]

Listen, what's your McDonald's order?

[A]

When I was in my prom Fat assery. When I was in my fat assery, it was two McChickens large fry, large Diet Coke and an Oreo McFlurry.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

Hell, I was having the last supper anytime I wanted it.

[C]

Honey, lay the spread out.

[A]

But you know what? I'm not past a filet o fish.

[C]

Listen, I love a fish sandwich. Now, I can't say too much.

[B]

I'll eat a filet.

[A]

What's your go to order?

[C]

A plain double cheeseburger and a medium fry and a large Coke Zero.

[A]

I like a cheeseburger, but the minute you pick ketchup on it, you've lost me.

[C]

Okay, well, sometimes I get it plain and then I get Mac sauce on the side and dip my burger and fries.

[B]

There's nothing better than a Big Mac in my humble opinion.

[A]

So question two questions. Like, you love to cook and you also have an account where you do, like, lifestyle stuff. Do you. Would you rather like, rant to the phone or would you rather do the lifestyle stuff?

[C]

I love doing the lifestyle stuff. Like that's like a creative outlet. Like, that's fun for me. Not that like the storytelling and stuff's not. It just. That comes so natural to me.

[A]

Yeah, it does me too, that it

[C]

doesn't necessarily seem creative sometimes. You know what I mean? Yeah, but I love making Doing little vlogs and the recipes. There's just so much work.

[A]

I love watching you cook and something.

[B]

And I don't know why I thought of it.

[A]

Well, let me.

[B]

First time we called you, I have to say before I get on my mind, you're not. The first time we called you. We called you the other day and what you was eating a. I was about.

[A]

You were eating chicken tenders from raising Canes.

[C]

I went through the drive through at raising canes and I was driving home and I was about to choke to death on that piece of bread. Okay. I was trying to drive, trying to talk on the phone, trying to do sauce. I mean, yeah, anything.

[A]

If anything kills me. I hope it's a piece of Kane's bread.

[C]

Amen. Cover it in cane sauce. I mean, plum baptized.

[A]

I want. I want it to be like. I want to go out peaceful. And that would paint one hand diet.

[C]

I'm not driving. As long as you're not driving.

[B]

It was so funny. We were cracking up. You had us cracking up. You went. You bit into that chicken.

[C]

Then I started, like, sweating is hot. Yeah, I started sweating. I was like, God, I need to pull over.

[A]

But I love to watch you cook. And when. I think it was Thanksgiving. I don't think I've told you this. I think it was Thanksgiving last year.

[C]

You tried to make that cake.

[A]

I tried to make that damn oatmeal coconut cake. Katie, when I tell you, I ain't never messed up something so bad in my whole damn life.

[C]

It was a frosting that you messed up on.

[A]

I thought Martha Stewart was going to bust through my kitchen and arrest me

[C]

right on the spot. The shit out of you, skillet.

[A]

I'm telling you right now, I it up so bad. I. I don't think I could have ever shoved my face. And you know what? I. I messed it up. But I took it to Thanksgiving. And my uncle's blonde. Okay.

[C]

This is so bad.

[A]

He's the. He. The preacher. He. He has trouble with his eyesight sometimes

[C]

and he's probably got diabetes.

[A]

He does. I put it. I put it out on the. On the thing. And he knew not to eat it.

[C]

He could smell it.

[A]

It was God. Tell him, don't eat. I scrambled the damn eggs on top of it.

[C]

So that's the. So with the coconut pecan frosted, you have to put egg whites in it. And if it's too hot or you don't mix it in quick enough, they'll like cur. Like, they'll literally cook. So.

[B]

Okay, Betty, Crocker, don't make me do a haircut.

[A]

Listen, before she tells you how to make this cake, if you don't have the Pillsbury Doughboy on your shoulder when you're doing it, you're going to it up.

[C]

Well, what I was going to tell you is I've been using a different frosting recipe that doesn't have eggs because it is hard. The frosting, the coconut pecan frosting is really hard to make. I found one that doesn't have eggs in it because yeah, that video probably

[A]

has 1.5 million views because that day I made it, I set it up in my kitchen and it. I swear to you, it played at least 943 times.

[C]

Yeah, I only make it at Thanksgiving because it is a. It's a very.

[B]

It's a once a year cake.

[C]

It's. Yeah, it's kind of hard to make. Yeah, it's. There's a lot of steps.

[A]

I love cooking, but I love Raleigh.

[B]

Can't cook for he's getting.

[A]

I can follow my damn life every day. I'm on Aaron, am I not on every day?

[C]

I've seen it pretty much daily. Once or twice.

[B]

And then am I not as well?

[C]

I think yours just stings more. Landon, there's something punchier about you. Riley is like it over the. The overcomes. You like water. Yours is like a bullet. Wounded chest.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I think everybody expects Riley to be a little bitchy and then you're like happy go lucky. Don't get me wrong. I am baby. I know.

[B]

Okay, good.

[A]

I was just making sure. But I'm not that.

[B]

Anyways, he'll cook something. He cooked something the other day and what was on the other day? It was like months ago and I watched it. He made a video about it. He fried pork chops. And I love a pork chop.

[A]

They tasted like a damn good year tire. They were so bad.

[C]

Now listen. Well, go ahead.

[B]

I was like, damn, that looks good. Riley's cooked it up and made fried pork chops. This is not usual. He wasn't good at cooking at the time and he really is not the best now, but he's learning. And I called him, I said, well, you made fried pork chops. Are those good? And he said, well, no, they tasted like rubber.

[C]

Now pork chops are hard, I'll give you that. They are hard. Now when I fry pork chops, there's a place local to me it's. There's one in Lexington and one in Richmond called Uncle Charlie's and they have pork tenderloin and they do something to it during, like, processing. I think they, like, cube it and, like, tenderize it. And I've never. Have you ever had one? Jason? Uncle Charlie's. They. They come out tender every time. Listen, I think they sell them in beer.

[B]

Oh, hey, my dad does, like, pours beer over his, like, grilled chicken.

[A]

This has me thinking of, like, food and, like, how we grew up, like, Appalachian food or whatever. If you were on death row, what would be your Appalachian meal?

[C]

Well, it changes. It varies. I used to say meatloaf and mashed potatoes and green beans. But, you know, I've. I've really had a hankering for my granny's fried chicken biscuit and chicken gravy. Do you know what I'm talking about?

[A]

I've never had chicken gravy, but it sounds good.

[C]

You probably haven't. You just don't realize it. So when you fry chicken, you have,

[B]

like, the oil, the drippings.

[A]

Oh, like a rib.

[C]

And you make gravy with that?

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had that.

[C]

So my granny growing up, she would fry, like.

[B]

I mean, of course, the gravy. Sausage gravy, bacon gravy.

[C]

Yeah, honey.

[B]

Chocolate gravy.

[A]

Giblet gravy.

[B]

Giblet griffa.

[C]

Yeah, I love a giblet. I love a sauce.

[A]

Listen, everybody's like, giblet gravy. Do you know what that is? I don't give a damn what's in it.

[C]

It looks good to me.

[A]

I would drink it with a piece of dressing. But go ahead.

[C]

What was I saying?

[A]

Where were we at?

[C]

Chicken gravy. So she would fry the most perfect chicken you've ever seen. And when it would come out while it's still hot, she would drizzle honey over it. My God, today, you know? My God today. And then she would make homemade biscuits and. And fix gravy from those drippings. And that's probably what I'd go with right now, you know, if I had the choice.

[A]

What would be your Southern death row meal?

[B]

I don't know if it's a Southern death row meal, but I'd just give me a ribeye perfectly marbled, with a loaded baked potato.

[C]

And you like ribeyes?

[A]

I like a new.

[B]

The fat's where the flavors at.

[C]

I know, but you don't have to

[A]

worry about the fat, though, because you weighed 95 damn pounds.

[C]

I like a certain.

[B]

You can't go wrong with sir a little bit. Like, there's just nothing better in this world world than a ribeye. Steak.

[C]

Now, you know, y' all may argue with me, but I think that the best place, one of the best place places to get a steak at Texas

[B]

Roadhouse, there the other day. And let me tell you what pissed me the hell off. We put in our GPS to go to the damn Texas Roadhouse. It's 25 minutes away, 30 minutes away. Gotta drive forever to get there. And we get there and remind you,

[A]

well, we had to fight through 95 miles of damn in n out traffic because they put it in and out in Tennessee and every city Southerners lost their mind.

[C]

Like in and out.

[A]

The California restaurant.

[C]

What's the other one? That's kind of different.

[A]

Water Burger.

[C]

I've had one of them.

[B]

You.

[A]

You probably not had Internet.

[C]

One of them East Coast.

[B]

You ain't had it out.

[C]

Okay, yeah, I've not had it in.

[A]

No, it's like. It was. It's like a big western company. They came out here.

[B]

But anyways, we were headed to the Texas Roadhouse because Riley was dying for a roll and some cinnamon butter. Won't he do it, though?

[A]

Every time the Lord God Almighty is in the back of that kitchen making those himself. What is it?

[C]

It is yeast. I don't know. Something mana from heaven. I don't know.

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

Something good.

[A]

It's the Lord himself. I was saying that to say that you cannot beat a gas station biscuit with a stick.

[C]

Listen, do not get me started. Do not get me started.

[A]

Do not put me in a gas station biscuit if I'm not walking in there and seeing the. The gambling machines in the corner. And if I'm not getting this big fat decadent.

[C]

Let me ask you this. So where I'm from, you can still smoke cigarettes in the gas station in the county where I live, where I'm

[A]

from, they smoke a cigarette in Walmart.

[C]

They don't care. I love that for them.

[A]

Everybody has asthma in my town. Everybody has asthma, COPD or diabetes.

[C]

Honest to God, if a whips out a Marlboro Light in front of me, I feel safer. Do not pull out a vape in front of me. You're a. I hate a vape. I hate a vape. I see somebody pull out a vape, that pisses me off immediately, just about. I love a cigarette. Me.

[A]

Not personally, but you, you love a smoker.

[C]

I grew up by women that smoke a Waffle House. It's comforting.

[B]

If my Waffle House employee is not smoking a cigarette, you know, or anything

[C]

else outside, you know, I kind of

[A]

hope it's something different. Honestly, the food. Be a lot.

[C]

Really get into it back there, you know, fry them eggs up good. I don't care what you do, as long as it tastes good and you're a little bit clean.

[A]

I kind of feel like they should be a little bit dirty if I'm not worried about.

[C]

I don't do it. The dirt. I don't do the dirt.

[A]

If I don't feel like I'm gonna get, like a bloodborne illness from the Waffle House, I don't know that I want to eat there.

[C]

Now, let me tell you this, because

[A]

we're going in them cracker barrels that are all nice and modern now, and it just don't feel the same.

[C]

Oh, mine's not at home yet.

[A]

Well, the one here is.

[C]

And I hate that for y'.

[B]

All.

[C]

You know, they really.

[B]

It's awful. It feels like you're walking into Beverly Hills. Mansion, Mansion.

[C]

Sickening.

[B]

They don't even have old timey photos on the wall.

[C]

That's sick. That's plums.

[A]

Pretty sure they had a gas fireplace.

[C]

Now, listen, one time, me and Dylan. So we. It was my birthday and we were living in the Double Y trailer that he grew up in, and it was, like, falling apart, literally. So I. You don't know what, like, Swap Shop is.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So I tried to sell it and, like, we had to have it moved because the builders were supposed to start on our house in, like, literally two weeks. And the trailer was still sitting there. So I get on. It's called Dial and Deal at the house. Wait. I feel confident not everyone's going to know what that is. Let's tell them. So Swap Shop. Swap Shop, It's a radio show where you can call in and you can sell things, or if you're looking for something, you can call in and it's. I think it plays at 10am usually on. In the morning.

[A]

On the radio.

[C]

On the radio. And like all the. Honey the hill. Listen, if you want some entertainment, you listen to the Swap shop. They'll call in, say the craziest.

[A]

It's like that little radio show they had back home with Judy o'.

[B]

Neill.

[C]

So anyway, I get on there and I. I text him, because you can text him. And I said, I want to put an ad out for this because I wouldn't call it in. They'll. They'll tell it. I didn't want to call in, so. And she texted me back and she said, there's a guy that calls in looking for double watts all the time. So this guy comes. His name was Michael. I think he might have been wilder than hell on something. I can't be sure. And for some reason, they had to weld a tongue on the trailer to pull it out of there. Anyway, we were in chaos. And it was my birthday and we had been packing out the stuff from the trailer out to our building in the backyard because we had a pop up camper that we were going to stay in at the house while they were building.

[A]

Of course, this happens on your birthday.

[C]

Right, Right. It's so stressful. So anyway, so we go to IHOP because that's the only thing open after we get done packing. And like, you know, it's like 10 o'. Clock. So we go in. We go into the ihop. They had unlimited pancakes. And, you know, Dylan was gonna. Dylan loves a damn pancake. You know, he was going in there ready, ready to eat a pancake. And our poor waitress, oh, gosh, she was sweeping the floor crying. I mean, she was like, I'm so. She kept apologizing. I'm like, sweep the floor. I'm not worried about it. You know, she comes back to bring the check. They did not give Dylan his unlimited pancakes. He was real pissed about it. He didn't cause a scene because he would never. And I would him out if he did in public like that. Do not embarrass me. I will shame you to death right here in front of God and everybody.

[A]

He'll embarrass the out of you. Me. Landon, you stood up one time in the o. Charlie's in the booth and sang what was going off of the radio because you wanted to embarrass me because I pissed you off.

[C]

I'm not going.

[A]

I have a video.

[C]

I'm not going nowhere with y'. All.

[B]

What did I do?

[A]

You stood up in the booth. You were like, I'm going to embarrass the out of you. Watch this.

[B]

I stood up and, like, sang the song. Oh, I'll do something in the booth. Like, I'm not going to be. I'm not going to, like, embarrass you as in. In a sense of, like, being rude to the employees or. Or being a Karen or, like, going crazy. Like, I will tip you and never see your talk to you again, even if you are shitty. I'll give you $20 until you live a good life.

[A]

That is true.

[B]

But, oh, if it comes to me standing up in the booth and dancing on a table in the middle of old Charlie's, I will do that.

[C]

If you Feel the spirit.

[B]

If I feel the spirit in my soul.

[C]

If you feel led to do it, you know, and I can't blame you for that.

[B]

No.

[A]

In your defense, I'm pretty sure it's like Alan Jackson or something playing. So it was warranted.

[B]

It was. I was feeling the.

[C]

As you should. If Alan Jackson. Hell yeah, buddy.

[B]

Embarrass him a little bit. But you know what?

[C]

Anyway, she brings me this checkout and her hands are covered in blood. So I've sworn off the ihop. All that. That whole story to tell you. I've sworn off that covered in blood. I don't know if it was red ink or blood, but I was like, she's really going through it and I'm getting the hell out of here.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. I don't think I would go back ever. I couldn't. I think I've ate IHOP one time and it was in Pigeon Forge.

[C]

You went to Pigeon Forge? And I hopped all the pancake.

[B]

It was a big deal. It was a big deal for me, my parents, we were on the way out of Pigeon Forge and we were leaving. Traffic was insane and they were so

[A]

hungry and we couldn't wait to eat anywhere good.

[B]

And I was like, we are in Pigeon Forge.

[C]

Right across the road is the pancake pantry, the one.

[B]

And then right next door is like Five Oaks. The. The bit. The. The. Yeah, it was.

[C]

Have y' all ever been to the Apple Barn?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Let me tell you something. Pigeon Forge, I could be the mayor of that town. I. I've been there so many times, it's actually ridiculous. We don't even need to. All the Southern Baptists go to vacation Vegas for Baptist.

[C]

How far is it from your all's place? Two and a half hours from here or from Georgia?

[B]

About. Really?

[C]

Yeah, it's about three and a half hours for us getting a cabin in Pigeon Forge.

[B]

We'll go to the KOA.

[C]

The. Listen, the KOA in Pigeon Forge is not.

[A]

Oh, I've been there. We've been there.

[C]

Am I crazy or we all in the middle of telling a story about trying to sell a double wide?

[B]

Oh, I don't know.

[A]

I get off the swap shop.

[C]

The swap shop. Did I not finish the story? No, you. Because you got derailed by the ihop. Oh, that was the story. I'm about to tell you that. Well, did you sell it? Oh, yeah, we sold it. Yeah, we sold it. Literally two days before they come to dig the footer for the house. They were pulling the double wat out. Yeah, we really Cut it close.

[A]

So in other words, if you live in Kentucky and you need a double wide soul, just hit up the swap shop.

[C]

Yeah. Dial and deal, honey they'll get it done for you.

[A]

Wheeling and dealing, baby, yeah.

[C]

If I had the number I'd give it to you but I ain't got it.

[A]

We all know, like growing up in Appalachia and stuff, we all have some crazy ass stories. So I need to know what your craziest story is that you can tell.

[C]

There's a lot. Now, I do refer to Appalachia as a wild west because it is. It is the wild west out there. Wilder than hell. I mean, honest to God.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And if I had, there's so many. I used to work at a, an adult daycare. So like the elderly that were disabled, they could come into the in during the daytime.

[B]

Right.

[C]

And then go home and their fa. Like so their family could still have a life, you know. And there was a woman that I took care of and you know, we would do like personal care stuff like that. Bathe and shower and feed. And she had dark hair. Like her roots were dark. Dark. And she would bring two boxes of bleach like from the Dollar store or something, and she would want to put both boxes on her head.

[A]

From the Dollar store? Not even from Sally's or something?

[C]

No. That we wouldn't leave? No, we wouldn't leave in the county? No, no. And so I think you were supposed to let it sit like 15 minutes or something and she would just, she would want to leave it on there for like two, like so long.

[B]

Burn her scalp off.

[C]

I'm like, honey, your, your hair is going to fall out. Like, we can't do that. You couldn't tell her nothing. You couldn't tell her nothing, Honey, she had her hair did and she was going.

[A]

I love that. Honestly, that's very.

[B]

You know what? I think the craziest story I could ever tell somebody, and this is like insanity. My grandmother, I don't know how the, the family line goes, but like my grandmother's aunt or something shot somebody's like their husband's balls off with a shotgun, like on purpose, pissed them off and shot their balls off with a shotgun.

[C]

And you know, like actually like the

[B]

whole, the whole gone.

[C]

No peg or nothing.

[A]

I'm pretty sure though, he did something like, to someone. No.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, but like, like it was warranted and, and that's how it was came up. Listen, we keep shotguns beside our front doors.

[A]

If you stick your pecker in the wrong pocket it's gonna get blown off.

[C]

If you don't keep your picker at the house, honey, you will end up in a bad way.

[B]

Yeah, and. And he did. I had to get names and like, story lineage on that, but it was funny.

[C]

Our grandparents. I don't know if you're all's grandparents, dude. They are savage as hell.

[B]

They are.

[C]

They don't give a damn.

[A]

No, they don't.

[C]

They don't. They are.

[B]

They don't give 10 shits in a damn rule.

[C]

Yeah, my nana, sometimes, she'll. She'll. I'm like, you. I told her the other day, I'm like, you need to go read your Bible. Like, you need to go sit at the foot of the cross because you, you're being a little bit evil and you're. You're too old to be acting like that. You know, you're too close to going to heaven.

[B]

But they're the most judgment. Judgmental.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

There is not a single bone in an Appalachian woman's body that's not judgmental. And I stand by that. I don't have a comment.

[C]

You know, I. I don't have.

[B]

No, we're not really, like, judgmental, but, like, we have an opinion.

[A]

I'm the most judgmental person I've ever met in my life.

[C]

Like, not like I'm only judgmental. Honestly, like, I'm pretty cool with whatever.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't care.

[C]

I'm not. Talk about you if you do something crazy. Now being. The only thing that I'm extremely judgmental about is people that don't take care of their children.

[A]

Oh, I know.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Like, if your parents and their grandparents have the kids all the time and you're not raising your children and you're not prioritizing that, there's nothing that pisses me off for us because these babies didn't ask to be here.

[A]

That's one thing about living in the city that pisses me off is that people here will take their kids into the grocery store or something and just turn them loose and let them do whatever. If you.

[C]

I can't say too much now, but

[A]

there's a difference between having your kid and letting your kid be a kid and letting your kid run up and down the. All while the damn beach ball, tripping people and knocking people's buggies over.

[C]

Oh, we'd leave. And Lucy knows, like, if you did

[A]

that back in my hometown, there would be somebody whoop out about and bust your ass in, in the milk aisle. Up here, they just turn their Kids loose and I guess they blow a whistle when they're at the checkout and they all just round back up. Cuz hell, it's chaotic. It's insane.

[C]

Now I anymore I go, I get a really. I'm an early bird. So I'll get up at like 5:30 on Sunday morning and go to Kroger and Dylan and Lucy will still be in the bed and there's like nobody at Kroger. There's no traffic and I just go in, get my stuff and leave because taking a toddler in the grocery store.

[A]

Yeah, I don't think I can do it.

[C]

Oh no, it's not bad. Like I don't. I feel like I'm saying that it's bad. But she's very interested and intrigued by everything. And she's also the star of the show. I mean it's in her blood. What can she do, you know? She was born into it. She was born into it and she wants the attention of everybody around her once again. She can't help it, you know, she can't help it.

[B]

It's in the blood.

[A]

She comes by it honest.

[C]

And she don't want to stay in the buggy no more and she wants to ride in the back of the buggy and then she won't sit down and then I'm in my mind, I'm gonna have to lock the buggy up and she's gonna flip over the side and then my nerves get bad and then we just have to leave. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

I don't think you got to worry about that at 5:30.

[B]

Well, you know, Walmart's my favorite place. Do you like the Walmart?

[C]

I didn't go to the one here. Oh. But I go to the one at home. Yeah. I mean, I love Joy Spun. Are you kidding me?

[A]

Oh my gosh.

[C]

Hell yeah.

[A]

Ah. Oh my God.

[B]

What is going.

[C]

Love to see it.

[A]

Oh, Aaron.

[B]

Okay, well.

[C]

Hell, hell yeah.

[A]

Hello.

[B]

Jesus on a bicycle to Calvary Hill.

[C]

How do we get a sponsor? That's what I need to know.

[B]

This is exactly how right here. McDonald's is about to sponsor all both of our podcasts.

[C]

I do, I do need a sponsor. Anybody that's willing to give me a sponsor, please reach out via email.

[B]

Same, please. I feel like I need three or four sponsors, actually.

[A]

I feel like I have died and ascended to be with God.

[B]

These are hot.

[A]

Well, you were an icon.

[C]

Now I'll go ahead and tell you right now. A Coke Zero and a large French fryer from McDonald's will heal your body, mind and spirit.

[A]

If. If a Diet Coke from McDonald's doesn't light your fire, your woods.

[C]

Well, have you seen the movie Eat, Pray, Love? That's what this does for me.

[A]

I haven't seen it.

[C]

Okay? Y' all are too young for that. Well, you know what I'm talking about. Well, I don't need to go around the world. Take me through the drive through at McDonald's.

[B]

There's just nothing. McDonald's has the best fountain drinks as well. Do you agree? Like, they're all spicy.

[C]

They put a little something in it. And you know, I ain't mad at

[B]

him over it neither.

[A]

I think they actually may still put the cocaine in it and.

[C]

And that's fine with me.

[A]

Honestly, I've never felt better in my life.

[C]

That's fine with me.

[B]

Holy shit.

[C]

That's just the common.

[B]

Anyways. Yeah.

[C]

They're treating me so good here in Nashville.

[B]

Yeah, they are.

[A]

We took you out of the one stoplight town.

[C]

And I might be scared to death, but honey, they're taking care of me.

[A]

Be honest. How scared can you be? How scared can you be with a McDonald's french fry in your hand?

[C]

You know, it depends.

[A]

As scared as I'll be is me choking on it. And if I choked and died on a McDonald's french fry, you can.

[C]

I halfway know the Heimlich and I would try to save you, you know the Heimlich halfway. Oh, I could probably. I could probably make something.

[B]

Coming up. Something is coming up. I always think to myself, I don't fully know the Heimlich, but I. I'm getting.

[C]

I will beat the out of your back and it's going to come out one way or the other at home. So, like, that is one of my biggest fears with having a Lucy. When Lucy started eating is her choking. And I have this thing. You put it on their mouth and it will literally like suck it out.

[A]

Oh, it's the life back I had.

[C]

So when she was like a. She wasn't quite a year old, there's those Yogi Milk, like yogurt milk and they're bigger and she got choked on one and I. I thought, honey, I thought I was going to die. I was like, I was sick for about the rest of the day. Honest to God, shaking all over. Thank God I had that thing because it did work. Scared the out of it. I was like, I'm only so sorry. I'm so sorry.

[A]

I would have. How old was she when this happened?

[C]

She was like. She wasn't quite a Year old. I think she was like 10, 11 months.

[A]

They would still be eating Gerber today. The soft liquid food.

[C]

Oh, yeah. I was scared to death for a long time.

[A]

Still pears and apples, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

[B]

My grandmother is, like, the biggest choke risk. I don't know why. And she gets choked. Bone everything. And my papa has to give her the Heimlich at least once a month. I'm so serious.

[C]

Unless somebody knows it. Damn. She might need to lie.

[B]

Standing in the hibachi restaurant one time, like, where they cook in front of you. And I look over and my mom

[C]

throw the egg at her. Don't throw the egg at her.

[B]

And my nanny is in the corner getting the Heimlich. Just getting the Heimlich.

[A]

You know, I've done a lot of shit that's made me real happy, but I don't think I've ever been as happy as I am right now. Drinking a Diet Coke, filming a podcast, and eating a large fry.

[C]

I'm having a great time with you all. This is great. I'm so glad we've got together.

[A]

I think I could snort a line of narcotics and I wouldn't feel this good.

[C]

Well, you know, I've heard they're very addicted, so I probably wouldn't.

[A]

They can't be more addictive than a McDonald's.

[C]

Don't get me started on the narcotics, honey. Purdue Pharma. Don't get me started, honey. What they have done to Appalachia. Yeah, don't get me started. So there's, you know, I talk about Kentucky people, Kentucky products all the time. I feel like I'm a spokesperson, honestly.

[B]

You're the governor. You are the spokesperson.

[C]

I don't mean to. It's just like, I feel like there's so much talent and so much talent that's not even tapped into yet. Like, there's so. And Jason can attest to this because he is huge into the music scene down there. There are so many small artists that are so good.

[B]

Good. Yeah.

[C]

Right now, like, as far as who to look out for. And I, you probably will agree, I think we've talked about it. Emily Jamerson.

[A]

I've heard it.

[C]

I've heard she is going to be our Appalachian Taylor Swift. She is so beautiful and so talented and seems like an angel.

[A]

I feel like Kentucky is one of the most diverse states. I've only ever been there once. But, like, you literally, you can run in and have a potluck and. And do something in the holler, and then you can go up the road and Watch the Kentucky Derby and watch Million Dollar People.

[C]

Definitely, definitely split after you get like, yes, Emily Jeamerson. Now, she's not put out an album yet.

[B]

No, but, like, she's good.

[C]

She's put out a few eps, but when she puts out an album, let her finish.

[A]

You, what were you. Sorry, I don't know, down the road about the Kentucky Derby.

[C]

Oh, one of my goal, my three year goals is to get invited to the Kentucky Derby.

[B]

You will.

[C]

I hope to God I do. I want to wear a big hat so bad.

[B]

Do it, Katie. This like, I'm sticking it in here.

[A]

Do you have to be invited?

[C]

I don't know, but I probably can't afford a ticket, you know.

[A]

Well, you can't find some connections.

[B]

Well, you get invited by brands is what happens. If any brands want to invite Katie Combs to the Kentucky Derby.

[C]

We'll get Katie into the Derby.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

I would love to see a horse run real quick.

[A]

What the hell would sponsor you? Can we go?

[C]

Hell yeah, dude, load up.

[A]

Okay, we'll go. Bring the camera crew.

[B]

When is the Kentucky Derby?

[C]

May. They should. They should let y' all do commentary kind of like Soup Dog and Kevin Hart did for the Olympics. I'm here for it.

[B]

I'll do whatever.

[A]

You put me in front of a commentary at the Kentucky Derby and I'll be like, could you imagine S3 commentating the Kentucky Derby now?

[C]

I'd like go. We'll see.

[A]

Short man on the brown horse is in the lead. Now the short man on the black horse is in the lead.

[C]

No, but I would like to go to the Kentucky Derby. It. Kentucky is very split. You get like north of, I would say Lexington. Lexington is kind of like a melting pot of people that have moved from, like the hills and the hollers to the big city to come for work and stuff. But once you get north of Lexington, I mean, they're still good people, don't get me wrong. But it's just like the culture is a little bit different.

[A]

I've only ever been to Kentucky once. I went to Lexington to the Shriners hospital because I got flat feet. And.

[C]

And I hate that for you.

[A]

It was a good experience. I know they sell the pecan logs in the middle of the back roads. No, you've never had a Shriners pecan log. And you were from the South.

[C]

Honey, them are not coming down the holler. You know, we don't even got the swans truck or nothing. You know, we're doing good with the dollar store.

[A]

Them. Them pecan logs from The Shriners.

[B]

You say pecan or pecan?

[C]

Pecan.

[A]

Oh, Landon says a damn pecan. A pecan is a urinal.

[C]

A piss can.

[A]

Yeah, it's a pecan. P E K H. We'd hate to judge, you know.

[B]

Yeah, you hate to judge me. Hell, pecan. A pecan. A pecan log. It's a pecan pie. A pecan pie.

[C]

Pecan pie. That's ignorant as hell. Get it together. I love you, but that's ignorant as hell. It's a pecan.

[B]

Okay, well, you say caramel.

[C]

Caramel.

[A]

Here you go.

[C]

Caramel.

[B]

Caramel.

[C]

Yeah. No, caramel.

[B]

We talked about this yesterday.

[A]

I say caramel apple.

[C]

Caramel apple. Yeah, that's how you say it.

[B]

Caramel apple.

[A]

No, it's a caramel apple.

[C]

Caramel. Caramel. I don't know. No, y' all are confusing me. I don't know. Riley says caramel anytime. Unless it's a caramel apple.

[B]

Yes. I don't know what that caramel can.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I say whatever comes out my mouth. And it might be good, it might be bad, it might be ignorant, it might be smart.

[A]

All right, we'll be right back for Cousin Council.

[B]

This is Cousin Council. Why do you have me doing this? Submission? It's dumb.

[A]

It ain't my fault someone lives a stupid life. This is severely up.

[B]

Okay, let the Cousin Council begin.

[A]

Welcome back to Cousin Council. And we have some unhinged for you today.

[B]

We sure do.

[A]

Go ahead.

[B]

Somebody has written in and said, my husband has a lizard. And I took it out to clean the cage because he never does, and he told me not to. And now I know why. Because that tried to run and I was holding on by the tail, holding it onto it by the tail, and it fell off and he ran. And all I have is the tail. Is he. He's gonna be home tomorrow morning. Please help me. He loves Louie and will divorce me if he finds out.

[A]

Is Louis a damn triceratops?

[C]

Honey, he's a nomad, Louie. He said, I will not be caged. You will not keep me in this cage. I will lose my damn tail and run the hell off.

[B]

And he did.

[C]

And he did.

[B]

And this poor little woman's probably gonna be divorced because of it.

[C]

If, you know, if her marriage ain't that strong, let him go.

[A]

If he's gonna leave you over a

[C]

lizard, then let him go straight to jail. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Could you imagine?

[C]

No, I would never have a lizard in my house. First of all, no reptiles.

[A]

Listen, this is what y' all get

[B]

for having this big.

[C]

Did she tell him? Did she try to like, find a new one?

[A]

This is what y' all get for having a damn lizard as a pet.

[B]

Which. Should she replace the lizard or should she just tell him and gone about her life?

[C]

Where the hell are you gonna get another damn lizard?

[A]

Where the hell are you gonna find a lizard? And what kind of lizard do you have where the tail comes off of it? Lots of cheap ass lizard, you know. Huh.

[B]

Don't give me nothing.

[A]

Actually, yeah, apparently lizards drop their tail when they're scared. Yeah, I know that.

[C]

And that's what happened.

[A]

Hannah from West Virginia says that she was stalking someone on Instagram and liked a picture from years ago.

[C]

And we've all done it, Hannah.

[A]

We've all done it, but we've all done it.

[C]

If you lock them and go on,

[A]

if you're gonna be tough, you think

[B]

you block them and go on about your life.

[C]

Honestly, I probably wouldn't give a. I'd be like, well, some sorry whoops.

[A]

You might as well just lock another one. Hell, if it gets brought up, say you were stalking them. Stalking's not.

[B]

I have a friend back from home and she used to do that on purpose to get people to like, talk to her to see if they to notice her.

[C]

Yeah, we love an attention war. We love an attention or.

[A]

I love that for her.

[B]

Yeah, I've definitely done that before. Have you?

[A]

I think everybody's done that before.

[C]

I don't really creep.

[A]

Oh, hell, I do.

[B]

I don't necessarily.

[A]

Let me tell you something. There's one thing about me is I can take your name and find out your mom's maiden name, your favorite color, and the kind of car you drive. I. I missed a damn good chance of going to Quantico.

[C]

And you should have.

[A]

There's still times I still would today, you know?

[B]

Yeah. Okay, well, there's two options here, I think. You block and move on, or you just.

[C]

You want about it. We've all done it.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. This is one for sure. And you know what it says? I'm talking to a guy that is the same age as my dad.

[C]

We all love a good daddy, you know. We love a daddy.

[B]

Do y' all think it's acceptable is what she's asking.

[C]

I mean, how much money does he make?

[A]

You know, it all depends in my opinion, on number one, how much money he made. I mean, that's really the only function. And if he's close enough to.

[B]

He's got one foot in the grave.

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

Listen, you need to get on the phone and check that life insurance policy, then we can go.

[C]

You know, you live your life and you know, some of us want the finer things. And sometimes when you want the finer things in life, you have to make sacrifices. And that just might be one hell.

[B]

And you know, there you could be actually in love too. Like potentially.

[C]

You know, my granny always told me growing up, she said, Katie, honey, don't you ever marry for love, you marry for money.

[A]

You know what? And mama was a wise woman.

[C]

And you know what? She was a diva. She made her sacrifice.

[A]

There you go. I've heard a lot of stories about her.

[C]

Oh, you don't even know. There's so much I can't even tell. Okay.

[B]

I think, you know, as long as you're not like 18.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

There's an age. There's an age where?

[B]

27, 32. And you're dating somebody the same age as your dad.

[C]

I mean, how much older would you. Dylan's five years older than me. So how much older would you all go?

[B]

10, 15.

[A]

I feel like it's a little different when I, when a younger guy dates.

[B]

If I found a woman with no

[A]

kids and a lot of my dates a younger girl, does that make sense? I feel like it depends on who is older. Like if the girl is like a. Age is just a number. As long as it's legal, obviously. But if you're like a 18 year old guy dating a 45 year old woman, it's a, it's a.

[C]

There, there's a snake in the wood pile.

[A]

Yeah. And if you're like a 45 year old man marrying an 18 year old girl. That's weird.

[C]

Yeah. Like you. Let's, let's. I mean you've got to be like 25 plus.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, and, yeah. And then it don't matter.

[A]

After your frontal cortex, frontal lobe has fully developed. Don't give a. What you do.

[C]

Yeah. After you really know what you're doing.

[A]

Just make sure that life insurance policy never, ever, ever sign a prenup.

[C]

Yeah. Honey, lock that in.

[A]

Yeah, lock it in.

[C]

Period.

[B]

So yeah, you. I think age gaps really don't matter as long as they're.

[C]

So you say 10 years, just.

[A]

Well, if they're the age of the dad, they couldn't be 10 years unless the dad had them when they were 10 years old. Don't think it works like that.

[C]

Well, I'm just.

[A]

So they'd have to at least.

[C]

How much older would you go? Raleigh.

[B]

I mean, if you weren't married with Children. How much older would you go?

[C]

Listen, I love a man.

[A]

Listen, if I found.

[C]

If I found me a very happily married. But I did, honey. I don't.

[A]

If I found me a cougar woman with a lot of money, I don't know how high I would go.

[C]

That's what I'm saying, like 45. I mean, I don't. But I'm also almost 30, so.

[A]

Because like someone like Martha Stewart, I'll be honest, Martha Stewart's a looker and she could cook me good food.

[C]

Hell, slay Martha.

[A]

And she's done been to prison, I think, hadn't she?

[B]

Yes. Yeah. Oh gee. Thug.

[C]

Not her time. Her time is done.

[B]

Anyway, so I think this. This question don't matter as long as you know there's some.

[C]

You're old enough to.

[B]

Old enough to be legal and, and just make sure that the older person has a little bit of money and

[A]

never sign the prenup.

[B]

And I think we're good there, period.

[A]

We have another one. This is the last one. Britney from Wisconsin says, I joined a women's wellness group that was supposed to be for personal growth. They recommended I stop associating with my normal friend group because they, quote, lower my vibration. My partner is concerned. But they say that it is a bad sign because it can be a sign of resistance. Oh, and I have to wear white on Thursdays.

[C]

That sounds like a damn cult. Now.

[A]

Are you a nun? Okay, this is a cult.

[C]

That's a cool.

[B]

And you might need to exit with

[A]

the quick expeditious with a quickness like the Krispy Kreme's on fire. Get the hell out.

[C]

Yeah. Brittany, honey, you're in a cold and it's time to go. Go before you get into Jeep, honey, because once you're in, it's bad. It's bad. You're gonna run while you can.

[A]

You're gonna go to the county penitentiary.

[C]

No, more like drinking the Kool Aid. And she'll be gone. Not with us anymore.

[A]

You know what though? I bet. I bet Britney's fin. Facebook is banging. I bet she's sharing all kinds of

[C]

crazy and probably is probably about 15 posts a day.

[B]

I love. Do you like Facebook?

[C]

I do love Facebook.

[B]

There's nothing Facebook will not care for me.

[C]

I love market blogs young.

[A]

You couldn't put. You couldn't peel Facebook out of my cold dead hands. I love it.

[C]

I think it's coming back.

[A]

I think it is.

[B]

Are you posting on Facebook?

[C]

Yeah. Hell yeah. You need to be on my personal and my like the page. Yeah. Page. Yeah.
