Catty Wampus and Vainy Sausages: Diving into Southern Speak

In this lively episode Landon & Kate dive into the heart of Southern culture, exploring their "ever growing list" of quirky Southern phrases and traditions. From the debate over "buggies" versus shopping carts to the proper care of cast iron skillets, they unpack the charm and controversy of Southern lingo like "might could," "catty wampus," and "Vienna sausages" (pronounced "Vainy" in Mississippi). The episode takes a sweet detour to discuss Tupelo honey, Mississippi's TikTok fame, and the infamous antipasta salad drama that sparked Southern hospitality debates online.   With humor and warmth, Kate reflects on demand avoidance, the importance of intrinsic motivation, and Mississippi's progress beyond its "bottom of the list" reputation.
