About This Episode
Welcome back to yet another episode of Bloodline Banter, where this week the caffeine took over and our intrusive thoughts were welcomed with open arms. We kick things off with a Broadway recap that includes cardboard signs that make absolutely no sense, a deep dive into whether panhandling is a full-time job, and a shocking Doritos rejection that raises more questions than answers. From there, things only get more unhinged as we discuss why sometimes the only way to fix anything in life is to simply hit it until it starts working again. Yes, this applies to just about everything.
Naturally, we also clock Nashville. Specifically, boutique pricing scams, why every store is named something after a 10 year old girl from the south, and how a $12 sweatshirt somehow turns into $120 with a couple painted flowers on it. At this point we’re convinced we’re in the wrong business. The caffeine really kicks into high gear when we question how words even became words, why a microphone isn’t actually a “micro phone,” and whether anyone in a Broadway bar has ever used the word inertia correctly.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, we share some very exciting news which may or may not include us being at Rock The Country….
And as always, we hit cousin counsel hard and question y’all’s decisions. We genuinely don’t understand how y’all move through life.
If you’ve ever hit something just to make it work, questioned why things are named what they are, or felt personally victimized by a boutique markup… this episode is for you.
