The Higher the Hair, The Closer to God (feat. Katie Combs)

Welcome back to Bloodline Banter, where this week we are joined by the Appalachian princess herself, Katie Combs, and things spiral immediately. From KOA cabins in Nashville to residential coffee in mason jars, from selling a double-wide on the swap shop radio to debating whether McDonald’s fries might actually heal your body, mind, and spirit, this episode covers more ground than a back road in Red Lick, Kentucky. Katie walks us through growing up down a hollow road with her entire family and how one random storytelling TikTok turned into millions of views and a full-blown platform. We get into Pentecostal roots, “higher the hair, closer to God,” GLP-1 journeys, honey buns in the microwave, and the fact that if you’re going to post an “unspoken prayer request,” you better tell us what we’re praying about. Like y'all... don't ask if you're not gonna give me the full backstory.  Somewhere in the middle we debate why gas station biscuits are a religious experience, whether Waffle House employees should be slightly unwell, and why a Coke Zero and a large fry from McDonald’s might actually fix your entire life. Honestly doctors should look into it.  If you believe the swap shop will absolutely get your double-wide sold two days before they dig the footer, or feel spiritually aligned with a McDonald’s fountain drink, this one’s for you.  Submit all stories, questions, and shenanigans to be featured on Cousin Counsel to [email protected] LETS GET SOCIAL: Bloodline Banter: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/bloodlinebanterofficial/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@bloodlinebanterofficial/) Snapchat - (https://www.snapchat.com/@bloodlinebanter) Email - ([email protected])   Landon Mauk: Snapchat - (https://www.snapchat.com/@landonmauk) Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/itslandonmauk/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@landon.mauk) Facebook - (https://www.facebook.com/landonmauk/)   Katie Combs: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/lifeofkatieann/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@lifeofkatieann) Facebook - (https://www.facebook.com/p/Katie-Combs-61555982611451/)   Produced and Edited by: The Cast Collective (Nashville, TN) YouTube – (‪https://www.youtube.com/@TheCastCollective) Instagram – (https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective) TikTok – (https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective)
