Bloodline Banter

Take OFF The Knee Brace

Welcome back to Bloodline Banter where this week we start off talking about Family Feud and somehow end up debating horse farms, marathon running, organ donation, and why root beer tastes like something that should never have been approved for human consumption. This episode is completely all over the place in the best way possible. We get into sleep scores, gym goals, Cherry Coke addictions, social media couples that seem just a little too performative, and the realization that embarrassment on the internet no longer exists. Somewhere in the middle of it all, Landon decides he wants a massive horse farm even though he barely wants to ride horses, and Riley starts talking about becoming a bestselling author while getting roasted over the phrase “in fact.” We also take a trip back into Southern childhood memories with rodeos, boiled peanuts, Blockbuster nights, barrel races, and growing up on a farm where flying through a field in a side-by-side at unsafe speeds somehow counted as normal behavior. There’s also a very passionate conversation about people who wear hospital bracelets way longer than necessary and why gym class may have permanently traumatized both of us. And of course, Cousin Counsel gets messy this week with family drama spilling into a classroom, a boyfriend with an extremely questionable “girl best friend” situation, and a listener preparing to move away from home for the first time and feeling completely terrified about starting over. If you’ve ever lied about how fast you were driving, dreamed about owning land and horses for absolutely no reason, judged couples on TikTok, missed Friday nights at Blockbuster, or felt personally attacked by a gym teacher growing up… this episode is for you.

Cruise Ships and Nip Slips

Welcome back to another episode of Bloodline Banter where this week we somehow managed to cover the Met Gala, global pandemics, Sonic sewage disasters, the Pythagorean theorem, and the possibility that chickens were probably traumatized the first time they laid eggs. So basically… business as usual. We kick things off reacting to some of the most questionable Met Gala looks we’ve ever seen and quickly spiral into a discussion about whether celebrities are getting dressed by fashion designers or abandoned at Hobby Lobby with a hot glue gun and a dream. From there, things only get more chaotic as we dive headfirst into the newest virus outbreak, cruise ship conspiracies, masks, vaccines, and why Riley thinks half the country would willingly survive another pandemic inside Walmart. Somewhere along the way, we also recap a night out on Broadway that nearly ended with Riley taking a solo swim in the Cumberland River, discuss suspicious homeless signs, and question why Church of God ladies always seem to appear in denim skirts on Lower Broadway. We also get into growing up Southern, small-town gossip, and why Georgia State Patrol officers seem to materialize out of thin air like federal agents from the future. Then things somehow turn educational during Bloodline Brain Check where we discover we may not actually know basic geography, what GPS stands for, or the capital of Australia. Honestly, the American school system probably gave up on us years ago. And just when things couldn’t get any more unhinged, Landon relives the traumatic experience that made him quit Sonic after being told to vacuum mystery sewage liquid out of a kitchen floor drain. If you’ve ever gotten lost on Broadway, questioned literally everything you learned in school, nearly died working a minimum wage job, or looked at a Met Gala outfit and thought “what the hell am I looking at?”… this episode is for you.

We’re back again… this time from a brand new studio that looks way more put together than we actually are. Because behind the scenes? We just got back from Texas and we are running on absolutely nothing... no sleep, mild delusion, and whatever kind of energy you get from airport snacks and poor decisions. We break down the entire Rock the Country trip, including a rental car that came back looking like it fought in a war (and charged us accordingly), a flight that felt like it was held together by prayer, and some of the most bizarre human beings we’ve ever encountered in public. At one point we’re pretty sure a man was just casually eating birdseed… like that was a normal thing to do. From there, we spiral (naturally) into Cousin Counsel where we tackle quitting your 9–5 to become a content creator, which sounds fun until you realize it’s 90% emails, stress, and explaining your life choices to people who don’t get it. We also get into what to do when you’re in a “perfect” relationship but somehow still bored (spoiler: it’s probably you), and confirm that yes… having full-blown fake arguments in your head is completely normal and honestly necessary at this point. Somewhere along the way, Riley admits to cutting open a couch with a kitchen knife as a child in a completely rational attempt to retrieve a dead iPad, and we also get into sleep preferences that could genuinely end friendships because if you’re sleeping at 72 degrees, we have questions. If you’ve ever been personally victimized by travel, questioned your sanity mid-flight, or created an entire imaginary argument just to win it later… this episode is for you.

Wheels Down... No Landon (ft. Skylar)

Welcome back to Bloodline Banter, where this week we bring on our best friend from home, Skylar, and immediately regret it because the stories start getting a little too honest… and a little too incriminating. We kick things off with a full-circle moment, going all the way back to the original version of this podcast that never saw the light of day, mainly because some people were a little more camera shy back then (we won’t name names…Riley). From there, we get into one of the greatest betrayals of all time. Landon books an entire Disney trip, flights, Airbnb, park tickets, the whole thing… just to wake up the day before and decide he’s not going. No explanation, no warning, just vibes. Meanwhile, the rest of us are wheels down in Florida wondering how the one person with all the confirmation numbers is sitting at home twiddling his thumbs. Naturally, the Disney stories only get worse. We’re talking blacking out on roller coasters, gripping strangers for dear life, getting personally victimized by rides that absolutely should not feel THAT real, and realizing some people are just not built for amusement parks in any capacity. Some people being Riley Mitchell and Landon Mauk. Somewhere in the middle, we spiral into childhood stories, fighting like siblings but not actually being related, and the kind of friendships where you can go from choking each other out to laughing ten minutes later like nothing happened. And of course, we round things out with what really matters: food. Family events, homemade cooking that will bring a tear to your eye, protein pop tarts that should probably be illegal, and the ongoing debate of whether anything “healthy” is actually worth eating. If you’ve ever backed out of plans at the last second, nearly died on a roller coaster, or trusted a friend who absolutely should not be trusted… this episode is for you.

Put Me On Jury Duty

Welcome back to Bloodline Banter, where this week starts on Broadway, ends in outer space, and somehow makes a pit stop at a gas station for a chicken taquito in between. We kick things off with a very dehydrated morning after Broadway, complete with boxed water, Fast & Furious driving, Chick-fil-A betrayal, and a five-point turn in the middle of traffic that absolutely should not have happened. From there, things escalate quickly into a full-blown investigation into space, including whether we’ve ever actually been to the moon, why astronauts are allegedly drinking recycled… fluids, and how we can send people to space but still can’t get WiFi to load Facebook Reels. Naturally, we spiral into jury duty fantasies, where Landon is ready to treat a “unaliving” trial like a Netflix series, complete with snacks, conspiracy boards, and absolutely no regard for courtroom etiquette. Then we take a hard left into childhood memories, including throwing a coconut donut at a pregnant teacher, finessing the school system, and the realization that we may have committed multiple minor felonies before the age of 18. We also address one of the most serious topics of the episode: Miracle Whip… and why it should never be trusted under any circumstances. And just when you think we’ve run out of things to talk about, we introduce a new segment, Bloodline Brain Check, where we test each other on basic knowledge and quickly realize we should probably not be responsible for anything important. If you’ve ever questioned the moon landing, eaten something questionable from a gas station, or have strong opinions about condiments… this episode is for you.   Submit all stories, questions, and shenanigans to be featured on Cousin Counsel to bloodlinebanter@thecastcollective.com [bloodlinebanter@thecastcollective.com]   Get your Rock The Country tickets and come hang with us in Bellville, Texas!
