Okay, let's talk about the original enemies to lovers story. Before all of our reality TV couples, before the rom-coms, we binge, there was Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy in pride and prejudice. And Audible has just dropped a brand new original that will have you completely hooked, I am. It's not just any audiobook. This is a full cast performance. So Marisa Abella, you might know her from industry, brings Elizabeth Bennett to life.

And Harris Dickinson from Baby Girl and Where the Crawdads sing is Mr. Darcy. And honestly, the chemistry, you guys, it's everything. Plus, you've got icons like Glenn Close, Bill Nye and Will Polter in the mix. Talk about a dream cast. Now, what I love is how Marissa pulls you right into Lizzie's world, her stubbornness, her wit, her messy family dynamics, and of course, her complicated feelings for Darcy. And with a vibrant new adaptation and original score by Grammy-nominated composer, it just feels so fresh and modern while still keeping that timeless Jane Austen charm.

So whether it's your first time experiencing Pride and Prejudice or you've read it a million times, you're going to fall absolutely in love all over again. So go listen to Pride and Prejudice now at audible.ca slash Jane Austen. Okay, guys, thank you so much for tuning in to Off the Vine this week.

Well, Caitlin Bristow is creating a space where girls and jans can feel empowered to be themselves because there's more to like than Instagram, right? What's that supposed to mean? Welcome to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Now here's Caitlin.

All right, welcome to Off the Vine. I am your host, Caitlin Bristow. I don't know why I introduce myself every time you guys know that. Fiance to an Iron Man. Oh. You know that song Iron Man? I am Iron Man.

I can't stop playing that for him. Yes, that one. It's so good. I have to say that I am glad it's over because, no, I mean, it was physically and mentally exhausting for Sean, but you know what? It took a toll on me, too. It was hard being an Iron Man fiancé. Like, I was gone all the time. We shared a car.

I had to, like, just wait all the time. Oh, man. I know. It was a tough life. bless your heart. Thank you. Thank you. But I was, I feel like I was so nervous because they got into the water and it was like thousands of people just crawling on one another. And that was right off the bat and it just looked like a war zone. I was like, oh, is he going to be okay? Don't drown. Please don't drown. How do you do? He did awesome. I mean, he killed it. I was so

emotional through the whole thing and tired because I took over 42,000 steps in two days. Oh my God. So. Why does that like not surprise me? I had shin splints. But I couldn't complain to Sean because he's like, oh, really? Because I just swam like 2.6 miles and then biked for 112 miles. And then I did a full marathon. And I was like, but my fingers hurt from snapping. Oh, but now my back hurts.

I was like, yeah. I was like, it was hard. No, it was. I was so proud. I didn't know. I knew I was going to be proud of him because that's such an accomplishment. But I didn't know how proud I was going to be to the point where I was almost embarrassed. Because nobody else was crying, but I was.

Oh, yeah. Tears are crying. It's amazing. It was. And I was just so proud of him. And he worked so hard for that. And he's such a dedicated, passionate guy that I, like, saw it come through. And it was something he really enjoyed. And I just, you know, I had a couple Pino Grosos to calm me down. As you should. Naturally. But, I mean, it was, it was just such a cool day. And the whole experience, like, it was so hyped. And there's so many people. And it's like a little community. Like, that fitness fam, no joke. no joke people and they're all happy and positive people i'm like you guys are nuts how are you this happy like and that fit i don't get it i ate macdonalds for breakfast today and chocolate actually if we're being honest um but yeah it was so cute Sean uh Sean's sister said doesn't that inspire you to like go do something and I'm like it inspires me but not to go do something just to like wow that's

inspiring. Totally. But no. But not to like get on a treadmill. No, no, no, no, no, not that inspiring. I wanted to like maybe mix in like a salad. Oh, yeah. Maybe some carrots, you know, a chicken breast, but not a marathon by any means. When he finished the cross or the finish line, I was waiting for him. And I thought, I was like, this is going to be the moment that Sean B cries. He doesn't cry ever. I'm like, this is going to be it. And he crossed. And obviously, I was the one crying. And I did not want to let go of him because I was just so proud and we were like walking home I couldn't keep my arms off I'm like oh it's so proud of you but then we got home and he's like babe my legs hurt I'm gonna puke do I need pizza no I need to go the bathroom my back I'm like okay that's enough

that's enough now I'm gonna let go now yeah you did a good job I'm like you know what I'll be out in all way if you need me I'll be out having a pino grigio yeah but yeah he's feeling better I'm very proud of him he killed it he did the the time that he wanted to do too like he did i think he wanted to do between 12 and 13 hours and he did 12 hours and 41 minutes it like blows my mind i can't even run a mile no i honestly can't how can you work out for that long in a row i can be motivated on a spin bike because there's music pumping and it's like a class and there's an instructor and there's loud music and that's for 45 minutes but at the end i'm like dead yes it's just i mean and he really loves it too so yeah

It's incredible. I went to his workout class a couple weeks ago. And it was, yeah, his boot camp. It was like me and, you know, 15 other 20-year-old girls. And I'm like, puking in the bathroom. And I'm like, I can't even imagine what an Iron Man's like. If I can't even last to his power. His boot camp classes are no joke either.

I'm insane. Well, and, yeah, the 20 girls, they probably wanted pictures after two. And you're like, could I just finish a puke first? I couldn't believe how in shape these people. He's like, I had to take three breaks in the other room. Yeah. It was the only one. I'm like, I'm just using the rest of.

I would have been right there with you. I've taken his boot camp class before and I took breaks. I pretended I had to pee, but really I was just dying in the bathroom in the fetal position. Okay, I haven't even introduced you guys yet. Okay, I always do this. I get to talking and I'm like, wait, who are you? Everyone knows who you are. You're one of the bachelor's most favorite couples of all times.

Oh, thanks, Kayla. You are! Because I feel like you guys are different than most. Because we're nerds. Yeah, but I'm a nerd too. Yeah, you are a nerd. And I love that. I feel like you guys are just so cute.

I said it before. I think you give me and Sean a run for our money. You guys are cuter than us. Y'all have a lot of energy. We don't have as much energy as you guys do. You think Sean has, like, what do you mean? He has 12 hours of energy, apparently. He has energy to work out.

But in, I feel like I'm like the one with energy. You have a lot of energy. You don't think you guys do? Wait, we've got Carly and Evan in the studio. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's us. Hi, we're here. Do you guys want a glass of wine?

It's rosé. Sure. Well, but right after this, we have to go find things. Oh, yeah. No, I don't. I don't think you can be drunk or climbing. We're going to like a, what is that called? You're pregnant, aren't you? No, I'm not pregnant.

Yes, yes. Yes. You heard it here for, okay, well, I'm pouring me a glass. Wait, I like for the people to, oh, hear it. We're going to one of those ropes courses. And it's also really hot a horse. I want a glass of wine. Okay, you can have some.

Here. What do you mean a rope's course? Ropes course. What is that thing? I don't know. It's like a multi-level, multi-story thing where you do activities. You're like harnessed in and you're like on ropes and you like go through all these things. What?

But I just feel like if I was intoxicated while doing that, I might die. Well, even if you have a little buzz on, you like aren't like motivated. Like you're like, I don't want to do this. I just want to go up another glass of wine. And it's also really hot. It's disgustingly hot out. What are we? Ben Z talking about the weather.

We're like old people right now. Changing gears. Switch gears. Wait, I have a little list here of things I want to talk to you about because I, okay, here we go. I know how contracts work, or do I? But I've learned from experience. Let's learn from Caitlin about these things. Learn from me.

I know you can't say too much, but can you say, are you married? Are you guys married? Yes, we can say that. You can say it. Okay, because it was a People magazine, wasn't it? Yes. The day of. it was? Yeah, we're sitting at their reception and someone comes up there like, you're in People

magazine right now or online. We're like, whoa, that's fast. Oh. And I was like, don't like that photo, but okay. What as if? I have, am I allowed to say I was there? Yeah. Okay, I've never seen you more, and it wasn't even to do with, like, you just look so happy and your dress was so stunning. It was such a good dress. How did you get that dress? Who was it? It was Don Cohen. It's it's like a new up-and-coming designer. Say it again? It's an Edan Cohen. Okay.

And it was one that like they sent me dress options and I was like this, I have to put this on my body. Yeah. And it actually came with this really weird cape thing at the top. I was like, so the cape's not happening. Yeah, we're going to go the desk Sam's cape. Yeah. But then it was the first one I tried on and I was like, I'm not taking this off. And every other one I was like, no, no.

It fit you like a glove. I mean, it really did. Well, Evan's face. I know. It was so cute. That's when I lost it. I looked at Sean and I said, why don't you look at me like that? I've never seen anyone look at anyone like that in my life.

It was like the cutest most like beautiful thing I've ever been a part of. Your jaw was just dropped. It really was. It like hit the floor. It did. It's so cute. You know what's really weird, Kailin, is I remember two people's faces walking down the aisle And it was you

And Evan But come on Yeah Because you were like Oh it's Caitlin And I was like oh there's Eve Yes Isn't that so weird

My jaw was dropped But not as far down as Evans It's a beautiful moment But that's when you came around that corner I'm telling you I loved all you're like Just the vibe It was a good vibe

It was perfect Because I've known you for a few years now Yes You're always happy Bubbly Positive fun But I just feel like Something about Evan

completes you I do I do too You guys You're better I hope so I just feel like You obviously feel it

But it's you can see it too Aw Thanks cute It's very cute I'm like just staring at you guys awkwardly now I like it I'm so glad you all came

Oh my gosh You dancing Oh I had a time I don't think they were filming And that's a travesty That is. Yeah, that is too bad. I had so much fun on the deep floor. Like, I murdered it out there with your kids. You killed it. R-I-P dance floor. We killed it. At least someone, I didn't go on. I didn't go in the dance floor once. Well, I did for our dance. And then I was like, oh, no, my dress. I need to bustle my dress. And then I was like, and by bustle my dress, I mean, I'm probably, I don't like dancing.

I kept me, let's go out to the dance floor. And she'd be like, okay. And then like, she's like, oh, wait, let me talk to this person. Yeah. Oh, that was my excuse. No, no, I need another drink. That's funny, because I picture you enjoying a dance for. No. I think it's in the dance classes in college that I had. You're over it.

You scarred me for life. Well, I did enough dancing for everybody that night, and it is devastating that it wasn't on film. I know. My favorite was your boys doing that dance movie. Nobody can see me. What is that thing? What is that thing? It's like arms in front, arms and back, shaking the hips.

And then you shake the hips. And it was on like a little kid did it with a backpack on and it went viral. Yes. People will just know what I'm. talking about even from that but um yeah it was such a fun day and i just when does that when do we get to see it like august 15 august 15 coming up just a couple weeks oh really yeah oh good okay and so that will be during paradise so paradise is starts on august 14th so this is the second episode okay oh i'm so excited i know it's so soon i just can't wait for the world to see evans face

and the way you looked i mean that dress that is like the moment that people are always like Like, did you get that on camera? Did you get a picture of that? We just want to see the groom's face. Yep. I know that is so weird. You'll have it on YouTube for the rest of your life. Or on your DVR.

I know. I find myself, like, whenever we get into a fight, I'll go back to the Bachelor in Paradise video of our engagement. I'll, like, watch the engagement. And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right. When's the last time you watched that? Yesterday. Oh, my gosh. Oh, you go back and watch the engagement.

Yeah. See, not for us. Sean's like, nah. Yeah. We don't have to watch that again. Let's have a new one. He wants to re-propose. I think that's a really cool idea. Yeah, because it's, I mean, he's like, you were just breaking up with somebody like two minutes before. I would like it to be when you don't see it coming, when there aren't cameras around. And I'm like, okay, sure, I proposed twice. I've got to be tweeted Mike Fleiss about that yet.

Probably. I probably have. Hey, can you film our re-engagement? I felt like such a jerk because he was like congratulating you guys and I had had a few cocktails after your wedding on the plane home and Tanner was sitting behind me and Tanner and Jade were like do it and then I was like should I ha ha ha and I tweeted and then after I was like Evan was like can you just let us have our moment I was like oh I am so

no it was in all caps that's not how I said it oh can you just give us something just let us have a moment and I was like oh my gosh I'm so mean it was more just to have chirp not so much to ruin your moment you couldn't oh i don't know i don't treat twitter like it's real anyway like anything no it's not actual i'm i'm like no me either i mean a lot of my tweets no i don't don't judge me if i'm drinking from the bottle right now but this is a really good bottle of wine and believe me it's hard to find that great bottle of wine even though i'm practically an expert, but for a lot of you finding that perfect bottle is almost impossible.

But your brother, Zach, was on Desa's season of The Bachelorette. Yes. How did he get on that show? I was on cruise ships at the time And I called him one afternoon And he's like I can't believe you called me right now

I just heard on the radio There's an audition for The Bachelor and Bachelorette And I'm going to go But I don't know what this show's about And he's like so tell him everything So I'm like coaching him through this I was like just go in there and be yourself Like you're going to be great

Yeah And of course he like went in there And like started singing Under the Sea from Little Mermaid He's so good at that I bet he is. He's so good at him. It's actually kind of scary.

That's his thing. Yeah. And so they loved him, obviously, because he's just a ham. Yeah, such a ham. Yeah, and then. And a good guy. A great guy. They're having a baby in like two and a half week.

Are they really? Yes. Oh, two and a half weeks? Yeah, boy. I'm freaking out. I know. Imagine he had a girl, though, because he's so, like, he's been so loving and emotionally, you know.

That would be. Okay, so he went. Okay. Congratulations to them. Oh, yes. Congratulations. Mack and Elizabeth. So then he went, okay, and they loved him.

So they were like, you're on. Yes. And he was like, well, now I need to take my shirt off and ask if she'll accept these abs. Yes. So really, he didn't want it. He wanted to sing. Okay. And then the producers said, uh-uh, we've got a better idea.

Well, yeah, they were like, I think he was like, oh, I could just do this. I made a joke out of it. And they were like, yes, do that. And he was like, no, but I really don't want to do that. Yeah. And then they made him. And then they wouldn't allow him to put a shirt on the entire night. And he was like, I was freezing.

He was like, I was really uncomfortable. Everybody hated me and I was freezing. Oh, yeah, because he kept it off the whole time. Even for the rose ceremony. Yes, they wouldn't let him. Oh, if anybody doesn't remember that, please go YouTube. Oh, gosh. Zach on does a season shirtless.

And he, like, got naked on a balcony and it's like, um. Yeah, I remember that. His silly packet, like home, not whatever those were called the package of the very beginning. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And we were like, oh, my gosh. That was his thing. That was his thing. That was so him, though.

I know. was so weird. And he went to hometown. It's not like she didn't enjoy it. And then they met us and then he got kicked off. So. Because they're like, wait, we really like that Carly girl. This family's so weird. We'll just bring her in. Yeah. Because if he goes too far, she'll know too much. We got a real her in. Okay. So then was it just through you new producers and stuff? It was, uh, a lawn. Yeah. Yeah, was like, hey, Zach, would your sister ever want to be on? Yeah. And then they asked me to be on Juan Pablo's and I said, I'm not. dating one popple. So then they're like, yeah.

So then, and because I knew him and I was like, that's never going to work. Right, right. Because Zach's best friend from the show is Juan Pablo. Right. So then when the next season with Chris rolled around, I was like, I could totally date him. Yeah. And my brother's like, you're not going to get on again. You've lost your chance.

I was like, oh, you just watched me. Challenge. I know. And I had like one email and I was, and then they were like, okay, come on out. And then you're like, let me one up you, that. My name is Carly. Let me crush you. It's nice to meet you.

And in a few days. So nursing. No. When I think back on that moment, I'm like, who actually was that person? I was singing with a pink karaoke machine in a dress that looked like a cupcake. Can you even picture me doing that right now? No. Exactly what was that?

Yeah, that's crazy. Between me, you and Zach, who had the worst limo entrance? What was your? I still think me. I hope they can bleep this. I because Chris was a farmer I feel like I've told the story so many times people like we get a kid

but he was a farmer and so I got out of the limo and I said I don't know much about you but I know your name's Chris and I know you're a farmer so you can plow the out of my field any day and I said the actual F word and his face was like but he laughed and I think he's like what is happening

and then I made him feel dumb because I was like what what are you not a farmer like Can I not plow your field? I don't get it. I like your limo. I remember watching you from the window being like, she's adorable. Oh my gosh.

I remember Ashley, her comment after I got out of the limbo was, well, she's definitely going home. Who's the happily married one now? Wrong Ashley. Suck it, Ashley. Just kidding. My favorite part of, not my favorite part, but one of the best parts of the wedding was on the way back to our hotel. Oh, gosh, Evan. Should I not say that?

No, please do you got to now. On the way back to the hotel room. There's Jared and Ashley. Ashley's crying. And Jared's like, calm down. And I'm like, oh, I got to take a picture of this. And Ashley's like, don't please. What a moment.

It's like, this is real life no matter what. One of my favorite parts of your wedding besides all the love and romance was Ashley comes out to me and goes, so like, I don't even know if I'm allowed to say this. But she was like, so Wells, blah, blah. And she goes, but I'm not going to be Ashley I. I'm not going to chase. them down. I'm not going to look desperate. And then she goes, turns around to me.

She goes, screw it. I'm Ashley I. Oh, my God. And she ran out her well. And I was like, I love her. I mean, she can't be anything other than who she is. She's a treasure. It's fantastic. Sean was always on the fence because he just sees what he sees on TV.

And when he met her, he was like, she might be one of my favorite people in the Bachelor franchise. She's great. She is just so unapologetically vulnerable. And herself and she owns it. At all times. Oh, I mean, she's making a living off it now.

I know. Good for her. I know. Good for all of us. Good for all of us. Now I'm lost. Okay, where were we? Des, you.

Okay, so then Chris gives you the boat. Yay. Yay. Party. And when did you decide to go on Paradise? Jade and I were kind of, we were reluctant to go on. And then everyone is. everyone is yeah and then we're like okay well if you'll do it all do it yeah and so

you can make it fun yeah the only reason we really went was because we both decided it was going to be a good idea yeah and we're like let's just go and hang out with each other and we'll see what happens i don't know yeah so and then that that season did not work out for me very well oh my gosh how dumb am i i've been your friend for so long and i told i blacked out that you probably have too i wish i could oh yeah so you're on too okay so then the second time It's so embarrassing, really. It's not. It would be if you were like miserable and like going on again and like hated your life.

But you're, no. But I was wronged. Now I have retribution. But this is all. That's not even the right word. Well, I don't like big words though. You fooled me. Yeah, Caitlin.

I was like, what a great word to describe that. I mean, it fits. I make up words like that aren't actually words. I don't even try. I don't even try. We say, wow. Yeah. Golly.

Good for you. L-O-L. L-O-L. Nope, I don't say L-O-L. Thank God. Never. That's good. I don't think it's ever coming on my mouth unless I was like joking like, ha ha.

L-O. No, I don't even think I've done that. I don't lull. I don't wall. But that's good because it all led you to the next season. Yes. So you were on, Evan, you were on Jojo season of the Bachelorette. Yeah.

And you were what, how many? I was in and out of that season. You made it how far? Um, I don't know. I sort of wipes that memory from everything. See, we all do that. I think made it to like, there's like 10 of us left. Yeah, okay.

And so then you got to go to Paradise. And a lot of people in Paradise talk before they go on, right? Like that's a thing. Yeah. Or some. Some do. I never did that. Yeah, that's what I was going to ask.

You guys didn't, right? No. So had you met or even talked? No. No. Evan saw me one time at Revar. I refuse to talk to me, which I'm glad. Oh, Nashville.

Yeah, here. Yeah, it was at a bar. And then my friend was like, that girl's from The Bachelor. I was like, well, I'm going on, The Bachelorette. Maybe I should go say how. I was like, no, I'm not going to do it. I'm glad you didn't do it. No, that's, I'm glad you didn't either.

I love that you guys met for the first time on Paradise. Yes. That's your story. I know. Okay, so you, okay. So then it didn't that happen real quick after you came off, Bachelorette? You went right into filming. I was going for Paradise, yeah.

Were you like, what am I doing? I'm going to find the love of my life? No. Or were you like, I'm going to party? Like on The Bachelorette, I was like, I was like the idiot that was like, I'm going to find love. Yeah, yeah. You know, I'm the one person, which is silly to, you know, think this is realistic. So then afterwards I was like, that was really hard.

That was like I did things I didn't want to do. And, you know, so it was one of those moments where I was like, you know what? People don't really love me out there in America and Bachelor land. They didn't? Some people did. Yeah, I had a few. But isn't that because they gave you like a weird, did they give you a weird edit? I mean, not in your mind, but people took it that way?

He's like, no, I did the thing. It was, I was weird. But that's just, there was, that's all there was to edit. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So I was like, so I doubled down. I was like, fine, you know what? I'm just going to have like, I'm going to go in with like a zero F's giving mode.

Yeah, good. And that's truly how it was. I was like, I don't care about anything. I don't care how I look. I'm just going to go for it. And so I was like, I just went in there. like full fours. And then I met Carly.

How many F did you give, Carly? Three. I think four. Four? Yeah, probably four. Okay. That's a good amount. Okay.

And then you went in and swept her out for feedlars. Was it the moment you saw her? From the moment, we fell in love the first moment we saw each other. Well, that was my next point. But sometimes I hate doing typical interviews where it's like, well, and I say all the same things you get in every interview, but I'm probably going to. That's okay. I'm probably going to anyways.

But this is what I'm getting at. I feel like it's all part of your fairy tale. And who's to say, what's a fairy tale? Because the Bachelor world is not a fairy tale. You don't read about that as a little girl growing up and dating 25 men and getting intimate and then sending people home and being like, and I choose you to be my husband. And then that's all in front of America on TV. That's not fairy tale, but it's your own. Well, fairytales always have like dark beginnings.

and, you know, really difficult things that, you know, they have to go through. I don't get your little outlook. That's really cute. That is cute. It totally was a fairy tale. I don't know. No, that's what I'm saying, though. It's everybody has their own form of fairy tale.

And that's what I'm saying is that when you grow up, it's not like you think of. But I mean, rub a dub, dub, three men in a tub, who really pictures that in real life? You know, that's not. That's not a fair tale. That's a nursery rhyme. But, I mean, you get what I'm saying. Yeah. Did I really just go there?

Three men in a tub? What are they doing in there? I don't know. That's why I was like, I can't think about that because I'm... Nursery rhymes are whack. What are we teaching our children? Okay, wait, now I've lost my... I always do this.

And you know what? The printing on my paper is very small. I went old school today. I didn't bring my laptop, so I'm trying to read off a piece of paper. I didn't bring my glasses. I didn't bring my glasses. But, okay, so here. You fell in love with Carly.

You did not want to quit her. And what girl wants a guy who's going to quit her? And that actually made you fall in love with him. Yeah. And it worked out. Yeah. Well, I had actually had huge learning experiences on both these shows. Like it was incredible life-changing stuff where like, like, you know, I felt feelings for Carly initially that I hadn't felt like in a long time ever, whatever.

And it was like, wow, these are, I didn't realize I was still capable of having these. powerful emotions So I was like I'm just going Let these powerful emotions ride And I'm like hey Carl like Blah There's a lot of things It was incredible and she's like

Whoa that's a lot So it was like super intense But that's who you are That's who I am With her Yeah so so then Then she you know Friends Own me

And then Hey a lot of beautiful relationships Start out as a friendship Hey my parents did There you go And my dad liked my mom And my mom didn't like him Until he started dating a cheerleader

and then she realized she did. And then she's like, wait a second, get back here, you're mine. Yes, that's exactly what happened. But I still, even after she friends on me, I was like, so, you know, Justin Bieber's coming to town in Nashville. So even if we're friends, we should just go. And she's like, oh, yes, I'll go to Justin Bier. I was like, I've got her. Even if we get kicked off this show, I'm going to take her to Bieber.

That's like locked down closed. That's locked down. At least I've got that. After we got home, I was like, it was just so apparent, like, how. in love with them I was and we were standing there and I was like God, even if we had just come home I think you would have really gotten me at Bieber

I think it really would have worked because you guys are meant to be my plan B would have worked either way I think it's cute because I think you learned from the show which we all do to be way more vulnerable than you could have ever imagined and that

allowed you to have all of your feelings which allowed Carly to see that in you and now look where we are. I know. Mary. So I think the lesson here is to allow yourself to be extremely vulnerable and feel things. What's really the worst that can happen if you go on this show? People mock and ridicule you for like a year and then they're by. Who cares? Like there's no real consequences in life at all. So it's like a beautiful place to just like try things out and like do everything. Even if it's like the worst like hate that you get, you have to learn to to see it from

a different side and know that it passes and that it's temporary and that good things can come from it if you can let the other things pass yeah yeah and they do and they do and if you just sort of fully embrace it and you're just like okay yeah you're saying really like you kind of can take all of that even a little bit as feedback and be like what's going on here and you can learn from it yeah if you want to or not if you're in the right place in life yes which I think we all were when we were on these shows, which is I think why we are successful in our happiness right now

is because we all were in a good place. Yeah. And we learned so many things about ourselves throughout that entire process that I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I used to do that. I would never do that again. I'm like, wow, I really needed that moment

for everyone to see with me about how terrible I am. Yeah, but they just showed something. No, I know. But like, no, I understand. you're coming from like look at okay Eric on this season I can stand him at the beginning I was like why is this guy yelling all the time why is he so angry now I'm like what a sweetie I love him I love Eric he's such a little jam he's my favorite he's great and he really likes her

like you can tell he really likes her and would really care for her yes and and I think he's one of those guys that's gone on the show and grown a lot from it totally so he will take something from that and find his happiness because I do think he's grown from that show What do you guys think of Peter? I'm so bored. Okay. And I'm so, okay, I always liked him because he was nice. Yeah.

But now I'm like, wait. Wait a tick. Yeah. His goal in high school was to be the bachelor. I saw that. And now he knows he's in third position. I'm super angry about it. And now he's like, and he's very calculated and knows what Sam when.

Every week he like does some new calculation to, like, get him to the next week. Like, if I just stay back here. a little bit the next week I could come a little bit more forward I don't know I think he's smart I mean he's clearly done all of his research yeah he has like written down all of what the bachelor said before they were called bachelors yes like just basically studying that stuff right and uh it's impressive actually it's like a textbook hey how to impress the ABC that don't make you bad people no it's not like he's a bad guy it's just like I see I kind of see what you're doing and see he does seem like a great guy. What's funny is like everybody's like freaking out about Brian being like

saying all the right things. But like Peter says all the right things too. But everybody just loves Peter because he has like because Brian's more in the silver fox thing. Yeah. That's true. He's more relatable where with Brian you're like, you're Miami and you're charming and I don't trust you. But he could be what yeah. Okay, that was my next question. What do we think of Brian? Wait, I'm trying to think by the time this airs, we, I think we'll be down to the final two. okay so who well I guess we can give our predictions whatever what do you think of Brian it's so hard to say something now because like what if they're together like we really love Rachel like Rachel's incredible right we love her so much she's a great

she's a great bachelor and she's like too she's almost too smart yes for the bachelor's I'm like girl you good I just want to be like her parents would be like Rachel if you pick this Brian guy we we trust you like figured it out like and I hear you I said this on my last podcast, I said, I want to believe that they are going to work if that's who she chooses and that he's a good guy and that everything that he's doing is truthful. And I want, because I would hate if I was listening when I was a Bachelorette and people were saying bad things about Sean when I know he's such a good guy and we're so happy, I'd be like, screw you.

And you never forget those people that said bad things. Never. Never. So that's why I keep open. I'm like, who knows? And he could be saying all the right things. because he could mean it and this could be really how he's feeling and that's just I guess that's sometimes hard to believe on these shows so so maybe we're all you know jokes on us

we're the idiots I mean he triggers a lot of like Josh Murray vibes from yeah that's how I aren't they friends are they oh no that would make sense yeah I think so Brian could be a good guy again and we'll find out and guess what I'll probably well I want to have them on the podcast and we can all hang out and do a live one and bond and we can say we're sorry for I'm jumping to conclusions Because I've heard that that's who she picks But I don't know because I don't read spoilers And I've only heard because everyone keeps saying like

Oh, I think they're happy together her and Brian And I'm like, well, okay, I guess Okay, well That's awesome Yeah That's incredible That's all we want is for her to be happy Exactly

And we that sounds so cheesy but we really mean it Yeah Because she's awesome Yeah, we love her I can't wait Have you guys met her? Only by FaceTime Oh

Yeah That's actually true night before our wedding. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, see, I can't, I can't wait to meet her. Okay, well, that's, I don't even know where I was going with that. I just jumped, I just jumped to back to it. I think Eric would be an amazing bachelor. Can you imagine how entertaining that would be? I think he would, too. He'd be, like, super indecisive about things and, like, yell a lot, and it'd just be, like, really a great change in direction. I know. I'm just worried that if Peter is a bachelor, it's going to be one of those seasons that just, like, a yawn.

Yeah, but I don't think they'll do it if they think that. I think they'll pull from, They'll make Ben H. The Bachelor again before they do something that'll get it wrong, you know? That's true. But it's not, I don't think the show is actually about the lead. No, it's not true. Or they'll just find another like Corinne to make this season really. Exactly.

Really exciting. They're so good. All they are. I mean, these people know what they're doing. We're sitting here. Like, they're probably laugh when they listen to this because they're like, you guys think we don't know what we're doing. Even if we get, you know, like, Chris Souls wasn't the most entertaining.

no you know he you know right but that's that was a good season because we had some entertaining people absolutely and that's all you need that's so peter can be the bachelor and it'll probably be one of the biggest seasons because they'll probably find the best kind of girls that's so true you know that's what i think and he'll be able to speak to them very uh i don't know you yeah he'll know exactly what to say but then he'll get overwhelmed because he'll be like uh oh there's a lot of you This is a lot's happening right now. And I'm saying the same thing to everybody, and I'm scared. Okay, guys, we're going to take a quick break right now, but I discovered the most amazing new dog collar.

You're listening to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. I wanted to read Evan the text you sent me when you told me. Oh my gosh. I went back and found it. That's amazing.

I never deleted our conversation. That's so cute. It's so cute, though, because I had heard. I remember your response. Yeah. I had heard that you were, but I didn't want to, like, jump to conclusions and be like, I heard this. I wanted you to tell me. You're like, I waited for you to tell me.

So Carly messaged me and goes, so I'm engaged now we can be Nashville Bachelor couples together and I wrote in all caps okay OMG I've been waiting for you to tell me because I knew but I didn't know if I was supposed to or if you wanted people to know

or if you just wanted to tell me and I cried because I'm just so happy for you and now I'm yelling and I can't wait to go on double dates and you said I'm so happy it's so stupid it's just so cute And you said, I'm with Julia right now, and we're drinking, watching, what, watching in Cali?

Well, that, you were clearly drinking. But you said, I'm so excited. Can we please plan a date? Oh, no, that was the next one. And then you said, you told me where he lives. And you said, this is so perfect. Life is so effing great. I still feel that way.

I know you, do. Do you guys want a minute? Do you want a minute? There's lots of glass and everything's a little see through here. Nothing I haven't seen before. I'll just be over here documenting it to promote this podcast on my Instagram. This is what happens after Caitlin's podcast. Yeah.

After dark. Isn't that sweet? That's so sweet. And it was like all caps too. Like she meant it. Yeah. She really meant it. I don't really say things I don't mean.

No, that's true. And I feel like when you do say things you mean you, yes. yell it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, we're like five weeks into marriage and yeah. He does that sometimes like, I'll say something. He'll be like, why are you yelling? And I'm like, because I'm passionate. Yeah. But it's like, I'll be like, oh, my God, you see that sunset. It's so beautiful. Yeah, but it's so you. Why are you yelling? I'm like, oh, I don't know. I feel like you always did that on when we met like on the season of bachelor. You'd put your hands in the air and look towards the ceiling and yell things that you meant. Oh, totally. But it made me feel like you're really passionate about it.

I'm passionate about a lot of things. So there you go. Yeah. It's crazy how many, like, amazing girls came from your season. Yeah. We had a good season. Isn't that weird? Like, when you look at a group picture of y'all, it's like, holy cow.

You're like, oh. There's many amazing people. That's true. Like me, Carly. Jade. Oh, I thought you were going to stop there. Jade, Ashley, I, Whitney, Becca. Yeah.

There's so many people that just really ran with it, you know? And people really love. No. She was your bachelor's day. This is getting weird now. You just said was JoJo on it and you were on her season. But Becca was on the season with JoJo. Yeah, that's what I was.

Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Because they're best friends. I didn't notice. So strange, Gailin. Never noticed. Weird. How's the rosé? Fantastic.

How is it? I love Rosé. Me too. Okay, where was I? Carly's text me. Yep, got it. Oh, this season of Paradise. What are your predictions?

Who's coupling up? I don't know. Well, it's apparently Amanda and Robbie, because that was... Oh, I saw that picture. Yeah, they were like holding hands on my friends. Don't hold hands like that. No, yeah, I saw that picture. And then I saw a picture of Dean and Danielle L.

Who's that? I don't know. She, like, kind of... Oh. Oh, help. Delo, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, she's, she was on just this past one.

Next season. Nick season, yeah. Okay, I didn't watch that one. She didn't, she didn't go too far. There's lots of pictures of people walking around places right now. Right. That doesn't really mean like anything, unless they, but Amanda and they were holding him. They were holding him.

That's different. See, I'm like, how does that work for her with contracts? She seems to. She was at Target with Josh Murray. I'm like, wait. She just gets away with that stuff. She does. I think it's because she's a mom.

She just be like, I'm a mom. It was so funny. I mean, though, because like, with Josh and Amanda and Lason Grant, you know, they would be seen out places. And Evan and I were so careful. I mean, I wore wigs. Like, and you lived in the same city. I know. But I was like, we were both like, we don't want to screw this up.

No. You know. Which is so cute. It is cute. You guys followed the rules because you didn't want to screw up your love story. We did wigs too when we were in our hideout. Except then somebody tagged me in a photo and said, you look good in a blonde wig. And I was like, shit.

I'm screwed I've already broken so many rules Get me out of here But it was fun That's fun though You know that's such a fun time to think back on your relationship When nobody could know you're together And you're wearing wigs

And it's like Oh You guys probably did it in the wigs didn't you I'm not going there We should have Absolutely we did Oh Okay

You don't remember I mean I don't know I mean just kidding What? Where are me? Did we? Was that someone else? No I'm just kidding

Better not be No I'm yelling again Wait Wait Your arms are in the air Who was she? Who was she?

Okay So living in Nashville now We're moving to Brentwood In a week Oh that's a nice little area Well it's a rental We're trying to figure out If we want to buy or build

So we're giving ourselves Like a year to figure that out Oh that's good Yeah A year, that's great And so where to Because you have three boys Do they go to school in Brentwood?

They go to school in Franklin And Franklin Okay And so you're trying to find a home around there. Yeah, we don't lose like the Nashville condo vibe. Oh, isn't it great? So awesome. I want to be able to like have a date night in the city and not have to drive so far.

No, you guys know what you're doing. Let me tell you. You're doing it right. We're like outside of the city. I'm like, I want a condo downtown. Your three boys are just gems, like rare gems. All three of them too, like not just one or two. They are all three so special in their own little ways.

noticed that at the wedding i was like can i adopt them like carly you get to gain these three boys who just clearly adore you they're such good kids like even when evan isn't around we just kind of we'll all just like hang out and lay on the couch and watch stupid shows and like bond yeah and it's so easy yeah like it's all since day one they have welcomed me and it's been really easy with them which is crazy if you think about it because three boys and and that you know their age what are their ages again 16 12 and 9 that's hard what you would think so to gain three boys of that age you and for it to be easy yeah it's especially this Nathan the 16 year old like he's at a really tough that's a tough goal of it for a few years and um for him to bond with carly I mean they're like

besties and like it's that's like that's like special for you to see too. A gift from God. It's incredible how he adores her. We went to a movie the other day and it was a rated R movie which I asked Evans permission to take him. But we're like at the front and they're like, ma'am, can I see your ID? And I'm like, yeah. So show him and they're like, we need your ID too. And I was like, oh no, he's with me. And then they just looked at me and I was like, well, he's my stepson. He's with me. And they're like, ma'am, you do not look old enough to have a stepson. They're like, you're lying. And they thought we were lying. And he's like, oh my God. They thought we were on a dude.

I was like, this is fantastic. That's, yeah, he's 60, he's tall. Yeah, he's really tall. But they all just like, I feel like they're so good at showing emotion already as like three boys and they're so funny and outgoing. And they all, the way they speak about you guys, I think says a lot about who you guys are too. Like that's, they're just such good. Oh, right. Ridiculous.

Again, not going to be on camera, but just. Well, they not. Oh, it was like, oh, my gosh, please tell me somebody. It was one of those moments where nobody has video of it, because everybody was just like, we were so in it, which was like, it never happens. It was incredible. It was really, honestly, that watching your three boys have their speeches, like each one, I'm like, come on. I know. How does each speech be?

So good. Like, I was like, well, no one's going to top that one. Oh, I know. Okay, well, they all did it and everyone's crying. I know. They're just such good kids. Yeah. I just love hearing kids, especially that age, talk so highly about.

who is raising it like you guys just obviously are making such a positive impact on them and they're so happy for you guys too you know I know I want I want three boys like two are you guys good try for a girl yeah we're yes I'm really nervous about a girl like boys like no problem cruise control you know just get in line and a girl but think about this your heart will melt yeah exactly and he won't be able to say no ever but she will have three boys to protect her, which is crazy. William the other day is like, hey, if you ever have a little girl, like, I'm never going to let her look at another boy ever.

Oh, see, that's what you want. If I don't want girls, I'm too scared. And Sean wants a girl more than anything. Oh, my gosh. And I'm like, if we have like a few boys first, then I'll be happy to have a girl because you want boys to protect her and like kind of rough her up a bit too. Like make her tough. Right.

Because girls are so fragile. That's true. Especially in this world, social media. I know. Don't get me started. I told him I was like, we're going to keep trying until we have a girl. Or we'll adopt a girl. Oh, that would be cute.

I just, I have to have a girl. Yeah. Practice is good, though. All about the practice. Yes, it is. I'm dealing with the practice. Oh, that's amazing. Okay, before we play our game, I want to talk about something very serious, your bathroom

Okay, we are all about games here on Off the Vine. Okay. I play one every time. You know, we tried to have a game night, couples a night at the other time.

We got a flat tire and couldn't make it too. Oh, the flat tire in air-close. We really committed. I didn't really do it first, but then I saw the pictures and I believed you. We had a flat tire going to have a double date with Carly and Evan, and we got a flat tire. And I knew, too, because it's like, what an excuse, you know, oh can't make it got a flat tire and i'm like if that was an excuse we really committed because there's a huge hole in our tire and it's sad we really don't want to hang with you guys boom

yeah no okay so the game is you know the game i always have to explain please explain the game i make jokes and even when people get it i have to explain it which ruins my joke but the game is called e said c said do you get it yes i get it i'm just kidding I'm not going to. I hope people at home get it. Okay. E-Said, so I'm obviously going to list some things, and you decide, like, who it's saying it about? Right. You know what I mean.

I'm with you. Okay. Who said I love you first? E-said. Oh, E-said. He said. Okay. But you said it back.

I did. Yeah. I said I'm falling. No, we followed the very natural course of the bachelor. You did. Oh, you did? We pulled it, Peter. It was a model.

The model we used. Oh. I'm falling in love with you. Yeah. Or I think I'm falling for you. Yeah. I'm falling for you. And then I'm in love with you.

And then will you marry me? I love you. Yeah. It was a very. Yes. Ah, you guys really followed the rules on that one. Oh. Okay.

Who wears the pants? Ooh. That's a good, that's very great that you guys both hesitate because that means you share pants. he could probably fit in my pants which is actually sad Sean does fit in my pants I think we kind of both do we take turns

that's great I actually feel the same way and I think that's a really great answer we're really partners about most everything and that's how a successful relationships were people compromise communication Eric said it the other night

on the bad start I was like I was like wow Eric who's never been love nails all the qualities you need to be in love. I mean, if you don't, like, the times Evan and I, like, will fight or something, it's just because we haven't talked. Right, right. And the moment we, like, tell each other what's going on, we're fine. That's it.

Like, if people would just talk to each other before it blows up. Yes. That's, believe it or not, Heidi and Spencer taught me that. Oh, my gosh, yes. They did. And I've really thought about that lately because, you know what? and Sean will agree with this I'm a blower-upper

which I feel like means I'm passionate no that's an excuse I don't have a lot of patience which is weird because I'm like when Rachel said the other night I'm chill until I'm not he looked right at me and I was like oh boom wow words to live by for me that is so me because I'm so chill

and then when I'm not I blow up and I'm I get like I don't have very I don't have patience and so I've learned to try it's so hard and so I've tried to really take a step back and be like okay how do I diffuse this before it blows up and I really have done a better job at it Sean's a little more patient yeah we're both not very patient people but at least you know that about yourself and you're like okay I'm gonna try to change this about me and when it does happen like within five minutes we're like oh I did it again yeah yeah but I mean what couple doesn't fight you're not in love Unless you fight. No, everybody fights. Everybody poops and everybody fights.

Yeah, it's true. Unless you're constipated. Wise words, Carla. Wise words. Wait, wait. Did you switch your last name? I haven't. Oh, yeah.

Oh, I'm going to. Thanks for bringing that up, Taylor. It's just like, we've been really busy. And then his mom the other day, she was like, have you changed your name? And I was like, but I'm going to, it's just, it's a lot of things to do. And she's like, are you not going to be that? And I was like, oh, no, I'm. No, but I am. I really am. I was like, oh, no. I don't actually care about it legally. I just care about your Instagram name.

That's all that matters. It's not, you know, you're not actually married until it's on Instagram. That's, that, are you going to do, like, the double? Oh, no. So, Jade did. Yeah, she did. The double. And she kept her last name, but put it with her middle name. Oh, look at his face right now.

So it's Jane, Elizabeth Roper. this is news to me oh is this the idea here i don't know what's your middle name another glass anne would you like another glass would you like a lot yeah so we're going to talk about this and she's but yes the answer is i i am going to it's just like a lot of steps and we're like moving and we're packing and we're doing a lot there's a lot going on and she will i will it's very romantic to take the man's last name i like the it's a Fish. I love fishing. At least give me Twitter. If you're not going to do

Instagram. It's a fish. It's a fish. And I love it. I know. I have a great last name. You can pronounce it bass if you'd like. And it's also a guitar. I also like guitars. Hi. It's basically your perfect last name. And you go all the way up in the alphabet if you're going like, if you're at a graduation, everyone's way more happy if you're a bass than a waddle. That's a great way to look at it, even though you've already graduated.

But that's, I mean, my last name is Bristow. I was very happy to be at the top of that list all the time, you know? Rag about it, guys. I want to convince Sean to switch our last name when we get married to Boostow. That's amazing. He wouldn't go for him. Okay. I feel for him.

I do like the last name booth, but I love my last name. Bristow's solid last name. Yeah, that goes. And it just reminds me of my dad who I love more than anything. So I'm like, I want to keep it. But I'm going to name my boy, his middle name will be Bristow. That's so cute. I'll keep it there.

Okay, back to our game. Better driver. Carly. Oh. Yeah, definitely me. Oh, really? Yeah. Evan just doesn't.

He has too many thoughts. So when he's driving, he's thinking about his thoughts, not about driving. Oh, you're a typical Nashville driver. Yeah. They're like, nobody commits to, like, switching lanes, and they're like, wait, what am I doing? Where am I going? Yeah, it's like, it's actually. No, when I commit, I commit.

To the lanes or to your, what do we talk about? driving or what? He breaks really quick I'll have to be like Evan, car, and he's like Oh, and then like slamming on the break No, that's not true You just did that the other day?

I just break before you would I don't break the way you would like me to break I wait until Like I'm not going to freak out if Who wants someone to break when it's too late though? Then you're dead

Nobody wants that No Okay so Carly great Moving on I'm getting the weeds on that one Better cook Oh, we're both bad Oh, are you?

Yeah That's why you get hello fresh I mean green chef It's really easy when you have recipe I mean I've made some things that were good Really good You've really come a long way I wouldn't say you've ever made anything

that I thought was like Oh my gosh, this is amazing But I've made some things that you thought were amazing Thanks a lot, Carly So me Okay Even though I'm still bad Too many Christmas

I'll teach you. Hey, actually, if you want, we're going to redo our kitchen in our house and I want to take cooking classes after. So you can come over and we can do that. Yes, I'm so down. Okay. We'll make like a wine date night out of it.

Okay. Ooh. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm down. I love Sean so much. Isn't he great?

The man. He's really, really cool. And your dad was talking about how much he loves Sean. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. He was like, I just really like, he's like, who's that guy with,

like the hair and we're like Sean Sean and he's like I really like that guy I feel like Sean is such a one level person that you just trust you know he's not like trying too hard

and he's not like shy he's just himself and and you can tell after two seconds of talking to him that he actually is a good human so it's like your gut is always like that's a good guy yeah yeah he and that's what

my whole thing was when I met him I was like yeah freaking right he's that good looking and a good guy like no way and his sister was like he he is i was like no and i kept looking for like my mom said you're looking for the other shoe to drop and i was yeah but that's understandable you don't get hurt no yeah i was just being a human yeah guess that's peter and brian too right yeah exactly you know we'll just have to meet him and be like wow yeah i get a good vibe okay i trust you rachel um spends the most money Evan

Definitely you Yeah I mean your car is ridiculous You're a spender Hey big spin now I went through a phase Where I spent a lot of money And then I've backed off

That's fine Like Evan would go to like Nordstrom for clothes And I would go to like Marshalls or something Yeah I feel like you're very But that's also it's not because of price I feel like you like vintage

And you like that kind of thing Like you love antiques stuff and you love vintage things with like stories right yeah that's cool though well that's a good combo so shopping at marshals gives you stories well no but like but when you sometimes i go away from marshals are the great stories that's true hey where's your shirt from carly probably marshals there you go yeah see but when you lived in your apartment before you met evan yes you like loved going to like second hand stores and getting and you i feel like your vibe really does have stories. Yes. I love antique stores. It's one of my favorite things to do is go antique

shopping. I really actually, that's a quality that I wish I had. I was like, that's so cool. I love it so artsy markets. You are so artsy. That's, remember when, remember that was one of my favorite stories you guys did on Instagram when Evan told you, like, you didn't know where you guys were going to something and you took her to a secondhand store? Oh yeah. And you guys picked out outfits for each other. I still think about that purse and I he made me put my wallet in there and like putting my hand in that purse oh my god and she got me a triple xl peach shirt with a giant stain i didn't realize it had a stain it was so cute though i really enjoy following that again that was a good night i do enjoy following you guys on uh we had been really bad about it lately that's okay oh well that kind of makes

you a little cool though because it's like one day we'll come back sorry we're too busy being real and in love to be yeah like we're in the honeymoon stage oh yeah i miss that we're just doing it all the time i'm like Sean can we get married soon so we can go back to the honey And then we'll, like, wait a while, and then we'll have a baby and we'll be back. Yes. Yeah. You get so sick of people being, like, get married. Oh.

Like, that's got to be insane. I am over it because I'm like, look, this means nothing. We are happier than we've ever been. Right. And we still don't think about a wedding. Just because that's kind of us, we're like, oh, that's a lot of planning. It's a lot. A lot.

But if, like, I'm more about eloping. Right. Yes. I'm like, that'd be cool. That's what I want to do. If this hadn't happened, you would have eloped. We would have eloped. Yeah.

I was like, I don't want to play on a whole wedding. Well, that must be nice that they come to you to have a wedding. Not mad. Don't worry about it. I love the salt. Anybody got tequila? Because I'll take some. Okay, back to the game.

Clean freak. That's a toss-up. Yeah, I've been really bad about lately. I would say Carly, but that closet sometimes. So the closet in his condo when I moved in was it's the smallest closet in the world and I have a lot of clothes. So and he never changed the light bulb. So I didn't, I put a lamp in the closet. That's a line.

So I couldn't even. Wrong. Like two weeks. Excuse me. Two weeks ago he did, even though we're moving in one week. Better late than ever. So I just, I couldn't see. And I had too many clothes for this tiny closet.

So yes, it's a disaster because I can't put anything. away. Fair. Is that all? Yes. What else? Are you done? Are you done yet?

I'm ready for the next question. I think I'm done. I could go on for a couple more hours. You guys want to know what happened when I moved in with Sean? Yeah. Oh gosh. So Sean moved to Vancouver first so we could spend the summer there and I had a very small apartment and he was like obviously missing Tucker and I didn't understand at that point

because I wasn't so madly in love with Tucker yet. And then we got back and I was like, how did you leave this dog for this long? I'm obsessed. He's like, this is why I was depressed for two. He's had nothing to do with the show. I wanted to come home to my dog. I so understand that. And so now, then we moved.

So we moved into a very small two-bedroom apartment with his sister who, thank God I love more than anything because she's the best. And so I was like, it was nice because she was like a friend who, you know, I didn't have friends when I first moved here. And I looked at his room. I'm like, oh, oh, we're going to have to do something about this. He had, like, a baseball picture, but, like, not hung, leaned up against the wall of this, like, gross brown dresser. And then he had this, like, terrible duvet that was just, like, brown and a brown leather bed frame.

So much brown. So much brown. And then his bathroom was painted blue. And he thought it was trendy because he had, like, a candle and a star in there. And I was like, cool. And his shower curtain was brown. I thought it was trendy. He did.

I think he thought the star on the wall was trendy with the rocks and a candle. And I was like, for sure, an ex-girlfriend put that in here. Yeah, super relaxing. And it was just like, I was like, there's so much that needs to change in here. I can't do it. But, I mean, I put up with it for a long time. But it was just so funny because, you know, you have to just adapt and make it work together. And that's so I'm, you know, I would have lived.

with Megan, to be honest, for the rest of time. I was like, that part's great. I have so much fun. Right. But your brown shh has got to go. No more brown. Dad, I can't live with. But it's funny.

Also, Tucker and I did not get along right off the bed. That's so sad. No, I was like, don't make eye contact with me. I am his main priority. And he was looking at me the same way. And now I'm like, I can't live without help. Okay. My next question was going to be, who has more close, but you already answered that.

Oh, me, darned for me. For sure. Um, who has more patience. Is that how you word that? Depends how you spell it. Oh! I get it. That was funny.

Okay, you have patience. That's funny. Oh, but if we spell it with the C.E. Who's more impatient is my question? Ugh. We go back and forth. I know. We're bad at this.

No, that means you're good at it. Like, I'll make you mad. I'll make you mad. And you're just really mad right then. But then he gets silent. Ooh, the silent thunder. Yeah, he goes to, I call it the dark place, which is actually a terrible scary place. Oh, come on.

You feel like you're in like a haunted house at Halloween with all the lights off. But it's silent and you're waiting for the boots. Yeah. Yeah. That's better, though. But I think he had to learn patience with his kids. Yes. So, fair.

He definitely. And you probably have, too, so you're both patient. That's true. But we're not that patient. Instead of saying something, you regret, if you can be quiet, it's less damaging. Oh, yeah. He says it all the time. He's like, there's so many mean things I want to say to you right now, but I'm going to chill out.

I could say that better. No, I know. That's actually good, though. I don't want to say what I don't mean in a fit of rage. Yeah. Good for you, because I say it all. I would say he gets angrier than I get. Okay.

like about things it's only been five weeks babe we've known each other for a year now that's true but there's always somebody I get more mad than Sean yeah he gets more

like he's like oh no here's how it is I'll tell you because I know he listens so I have to tell it truthfully here's our fights something's so dumb and I'll be like

and I'll give a jab and he's like oh you want a jab me I'll get you back times 10 and he'll jab me worse and then I'll be like you really hurt my feelings he's like you started it I'm like but you made it worse and then I'll cry and he'll leave and then we'll come back and be like we're dumb yeah we're both dumb and then we'll make up yeah I think I think that's a healthy way to fight I like that oh it's fine that works you haven't heard the jabs but in the end someone always comes back and says we're dumb yes and we're saying dumb

things yes always at the end we're like where did that come from why did that happen right that was dumb yeah and he was so cute the other day he brought me flowers and he went thank you for putting up with all my training for iron men and maybe if i was a little bit grub and i was like look how easy that was you literally bought me like a really shitty flowers like it was like this crappy little like grocery store here you go yeah priced eggs still on it yes it doesn't matter everything to me it's the best thing. Just the fact that he acknowledged it, I was like, just please remember how easy this was. I know. And that it made it all go away. Why don't guys remember that? Months of like terrible. Plowers cure lots of things. And it's like I don't even really care like to get a gift.

But the fact that you're acknowledging, what are you laughing at Evan? I think gave me flowers for the first time. You're acting. Since. No. What? Wait, what? Why are you up? I'm curious. You're like, why don't these guys get this? No, because I do think it's crazy. Like, you got me flowers on Valentine's Day. And then, like, a couple weeks ago, I was sitting on the couch and he walks in with flowers, chocolate, like, ice cream and a toy for my dog. And I was like, what did you do?

Yes. You were like, what do you want? Yeah, I was like, what do you want? And what did you do? And he's like, I just wanted to show you, I love you. And I was like, oh, my gosh. See, that's so huge. Yeah, it's so cute.

And really, if guys would just do that. And girls, too, because I wrote Sean a card before his Iron Man, and it was powerful stuff. Like, it was like how much he inspires me and everything. And he was like, that means so much to me. And I meant every word. And I was just like, you go get him. And I gave him a slap on the butt and then the finish line. Like, you know, you just little easy, easy things in a relationship means so much.

Yeah, just to acknowledge the other person. And they will take away all bad with one small good. Yeah, it's totally true. Okay, well, I've got like one more. Okay. I could talk to you guys for so much longer. I'm like, oh, it's been an hour. That's really?

Yes. Oh, my gosh. I can't even believe. Okay. I'll get, now this is going to be equal because first one to say, sorry. It's too late. I was just going to say that. I think I don't know

Do I say sorry I think I don't know That you've ever said sorry Oh that's nice Shots fired Shots fired No just kidding I have a really tough time saying sorry

I have a very tough time But so does Sean No I think that I do say it Because I usually I'm kidding of course I usually know when I mean then I'm within like I would say an hour if I have some time then I'm usually like yeah okay that was really mean I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that it was really cute you should have seen

on paradise so she said some some mean things about me on paradise and then I did and then just in case you didn't know so like then after like our hospital excursion and we start liking each other and she's like you know I like wake up this one morning she's like hey can I talk to you for a second can we go to the pool and put our feet in the pool? And I'm like, yeah, of course. Oh, geez, here we go again. Am I getting friends now? And she's like...

Are you giving me a friendship break? She's like, hey, so just so you know, like a couple days ago, I said some things about you that weren't very nice. And I was like, oh, really? Well, she's like, I just want to say sorry. I was like, well, and then she told me everything. It was very... Except for like two things. Hey, wait, that's pretty nice.

Well, I just didn't, because I knew how much I cared about him. And I was like, there's no way we can go home and this can air. him not know about it you know yes and lots of them i have this problem which i know exactly what you're going to say where you're trying to be funny but it's mean yep yep and there is a fine line and sometimes mean is funny yes but it's still mean because there's a comedian out there i forget his name but he says there is a big difference between what i think is funny and what i say to try and be funny yes and that to me i feel like i'm the same as you where you know you banter with a producer and you're trying to be funny and you're like this is hilarious but I don't mean any of it

right and some people that's very hard if I was on the other side of that I'd be like that's not funny at all right but it's actually super funny but it's actually super funny it's really funny everything she said was funny right he was like it would be funny if it wasn't about me right even if you know she doesn't mean that or what it's like I mean I wish it was again towards somebody else but you it's just you get in the zone especially with a producer All those producers, they're so funny. Yeah, they've, well, me and you have very different opinions on some of them. But, you know, they're like, they're easy to banter with.

And so that makes good TV, too, because I think to be a producer, you have to have, like, this edgy, funny sense of humor and go there. Yeah. And so nobody hears the other side of the conversation when they're egging it on. Totally. Or feeding you lines. Or feeding you lines. Oh. You don't have to say anything you don't want to say.

No, but when the lines are funny, you're like, that's actually really funny. And then later you're like, oh, my God, that was really mean. And I definitely didn't come up with that one. See, so that's a life lesson. I know, which I learned this way later. They could have aired so many things I said. Who did, I don't remember how that's time out. I honestly don't remember.

Somebody, maybe it was like Kelsey or something. And they're like, what do you think of her? I'm like, what, she's great if you like elevator music. Like, right? But I would say, like, because I think I have funny one-liners that could come off as really mean. Right. But I think they're funny one-liners. And it also depends how they make that person look.

Yeah. Exactly. How mean your comment is going to be. Like when I said, I wouldn't be mad if Ashley I got her period in a shark tank. I don't mean that. Yeah. She did laugh at that. I came out of the interview room.

I went straight to her to tell her what I said in case it was aired because I'm like, you have to know that I didn't mean that. I was just trying to, like, say one-liners. That's a great one. Yeah. Of course, I don't want her to get her period in a shark tank. I don't even want her to be in a shark tank, let alone get her period. You know, anyways, that's it. Anyway.

We will end on that note of that, why I'm not getting her period in a shark tank. Oh, gosh. I've had so much fun. We went to the Bahamas and she was the only one to go in the shark tank. Anyway. Wait, what? Maybe she's scarred for life. Maybe I put it into the universe and she was scared.

She's terrified. Thanks, Caitlin. No, I could do this all day. This is what I really do at some point. I want to have like bachelor friends have a like sleepover in the studio and do like a live broadcast of a podcast and drink wine and just I would probably have to print out some contracts. Careful what we say. Yes, you would. But there would be wine and it would be fun.

That would be fun. But I love you both. And I think you're just, I mean, I'm not saying this because you're in my podcast. You are two of my most, like, favorite people together and separately, like, just good humans who came together and fell in love. And I'm, like, so excited that we can all be friends and live in the same city. Me too. I'm so glad you live here. And Sean loves Evan more than you, Carly.

But I love you more than I love Evan. I'm just kidding. Fair. But I really do appreciate you guys coming in here and sharing your stories. and I'm so happy for both of you. Thank you. I really am. We love you too.

I know, I know, I know. The people I love, I really love. I totally agree with that statement. And we froze our eggs together. We did. We're bonded forever. Our eggs are being babysat together right now. Our babies are just in a freezer together, so we're just next level, okay?

Now you go freeze your sperm and put it with Shons and we'll all be one happy family. We're best friends. I don't just do that together. You do. We want you to. We want you. Sean's sperm is frozen, so if you'd like to join them, we could be the four best friends that anyone can't da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-la-la-la-la-da.
