Episode Date: February 13, 2018

Big Brother's Season 19 power couple Elena and Mark pop by the studio to talk about finding love in a house full of cameras, puppies, moms-turned-haters on the internet, awkward gynecologist stories, and so much more!

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. An 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, Vino's, before we get started, let's reminisce, shall we? Remember the joy and spirit of Peter Pan? There is a place where you don't have to grow up. Even though the world tells you to, and that place, it's Walt Disney World. It's tough being adult. We all know that.

But at Walt Disney World, you can put the adulting on pause. and let everyday stresses of life disappear. There's so much cool stuff you can do at Walt Disney World after hours. It sounds amazing, including a crawl of some of the best in-park drinking options. If the world tells you to grow up at Disney World, you don't have to. Walt Disney World is the perfect escape for millennials. There's an entirely new way to experience it as an adult without the kiddos. From cool drinking options to the excitement of after-hour events,

find your happy place here. Like check out Trader Sam's Grog Grotto, it's Nifty Tea, bar that captures the romance of the South Seas through unique food and drinks. There are so many cool attractions and characters that bring your childhood to life and new expectations that you can appreciate as an adult. So relive the nostalgia of Disney or create some new memories. I can't wait to go. Who's that with OTV?

Who's down with OTV? Who's that with OTV? Podcast One presents Off The Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Caitlin is creating a space where girls and gents can feel empowered to be themselves. Get ready for lots of last taboo topics, on filtered advice, and wine. Lots of wine. Get ready to shake things up. Here's Caitlin.

Welcome to Off Devine. I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow. What a, like, I could do better than that. No, I think it was great. Do you? Oh, yeah. I'm a huge fan. I mean, it's simple, effective.

You get the point. I'm Caitlin Bristow. this is off the vine all you need and and we got to get the wine point we already did but then we got chatting yeah we've kind of been chatting yeah we've been chatting yeah hit me with a little more i'm gonna talk that right up and then this is always here for you okay thanks you know alcohol always is yes it's always there for you it's consistent good times and bad you were just talking so well let's just say who we have in the studio we've got mark and elana from the most recent season a big brother in the studio finally we've been talking about this moment for a while and we were just talking

about how similar the two of us are and how similar mark and sean are because you guys are big fans of water big water guys and the gym yeah big fans of the gym um are you an early riser i used to be yeah up until big brother then my schedule got completely thrown off yeah you're probably still on this whirlwind we are yeah you would think that we wouldn't be like by now it's been months seemingly. That's okay. But for us, it's... So much back and forth.

I can't wait to get to Dallas and just settle down. Okay, so where are you guys living right now? In a hotel down the street. And you just pick which hotel and which city and depending on the weekend. We're on a full-blown road trip because he is originally from Buffalo, New York, and I am originally from Fort Worth, Texas. And he convinced me to love him on reality television, which you're familiar with. Yeah. And so we're going back and forth since the show. Buffalo, Dallas, or a meet and greed here. And then we just found a place in Dallas. And it's happening. You're doing it. We're moving in together. It's a real life thing.

Oh my gosh. Yay. I know. Thank you. I need to drink a little bit more of it. Are you like, are you guys prepared for this? Not at all. I tell you how terrible it is. No, I'm like, I really do need to sit down and just hear all of your advice. Yeah. Well, I mean, you guys lived in house together. technically before right I mean we've basically lived together since the day we met so it's not that part's not scary but it is a huge life change but but big brother was as well so everything has been there's been no normalcy no since almost a year like I started casting for big big brother last March wow and it was almost like a part-time job so it was a huge part of my life since then and everything has just been turned upside down in the best way possible.

Right. Since we entered that house, mostly. For the most part. Well, yeah, it can't be all a smooth sailing. No, definitely not. No, that's not good TV. That's not a TV. Not at all.

No, like, that doesn't happen in real life either. Yeah. Even in actual reality, nothing is smooth sailing. So, and neither is our road trip, but we're doing it. A lot of ups and downs. Oh, road trips? Yeah. So we are literally driving from New York to Texas.

But we're like, well, our movers were a few days late. and then got in a wreck with our stuff. Oh, that's terrible. Yeah. Just a roller coaster. Oh, no. So we're making a huge road trip out of this.

You've been a very important factor because if it wasn't for you and her getting to see you in Nashville, there's a good chance we'd be just driving straight to Dallas. We knew we had to make this friendship work. Like, there's just too much good going on between the two of us. And I'm sad that Sean couldn't come here today and, like, do a double date podcast style.

I was really hoping that that that was. I was excited because I was asking her, I'm going to be here. You guys would have, like, hit it off. Like, I can just tell. We'd be having some water while. Yeah, and you guys kind of have, like, the same demeanor. Like, I don't know what it is.

Like, you can tell you're just, like, laid back. You like your waters, but you're, like, cool with us being, like, the crazy. Like, very extra. You take a back seat, which is what we need. You need you to be okay with that. As soon as you started describing us, I was just remembering how Elaine was describing me in the house. It's so funny. Yeah.

What did I say? Yeah, what did you say? No, just like with the protein shakes and the gym and everything. Yeah. I mean, we live completely different lives. That's the other thing that's scary. And even as you may be well aware, too, starting to date someone on TV is terrifying. Like with us, especially in Big Brother, the anomaly that is Big Brother is you really have zero alone time.

You have cameras on you at all times. And they're not just picking and choosing what they want to use on CBS. No. I mean, they are. Right. But there's also live feed, Big Brother After Dark. I watch. I'm a nerd.

A lot. I love you so much. I'm, like, so embarrassed, but I'm like, I totally watched you guys sleep. Thank you. Very entertaining, yeah? Oh, very. Like, I always loved watching. You were always playing with your boobs?

Uh-huh. It was great. She was. I mean, you know, you don't have a lot to do in there, so. I get it. I was just like, these built-in toys. Yeah, no. Play with them a little bit.

He did as well, so. Yeah, there you go. I did just under the cover. What a bonus. No cameras there. No cameras under the covers. Nope. But yeah, you get to know someone in a really interesting way.

Like, we have the beautiful experience of starting a relationship without distractions in a lot of ways. I mean, there's the whole Big Brother game concept that can be a bit distracting. But the ideas of no TV, no social media, no phones, anything like that. And so we had a lot of really great talks. But when you get out of that environment that is isolated. and different, you reenter your normal life. And our normal lives, very different. Completely different.

Everything. Everything. Like you name a subject, a topic, it's different. Yeah, which is kind of cool because that just goes to show the opposites attract. But Sean and I were kind of different because when we came off the show, we were the same, like, we were so isolated. We were so in the moment, we'd have these great conversations. And then we both didn't want to get our phones back because we're like, this has been magical. Yeah.

And then you get the phones back and you're like, this has been magical. you're distracted and people are going nuts because you've just been on TV and then you're living in separate cities and you're trying to get to know each other more but in your real lives and that's like seems almost impossible but Sean shan tricked me because on the show that guy drank and he was like you're like you can hang yeah I like this guy can hang and then after the show we would we partied oh my gosh we would just people would message us being like you guys aren't in my college anymore and I'd be like I don't care but it's It was just so fun because, again, you're doing the appearances and you're going to different cities and everybody's inviting you to these bars and it's free drinks.

And Sean was just like, peepie, like so down with it. And then we moved in together and he was like, oh, yeah, by the way, I'm not going to drink anymore. Like, I'm not a drinker. Not a big drinker guy. I was like, wait, what? So it was very tricky. But, yeah, I mean, we're not as opposite as what you're making it sound to be like. No, very few people are.

But I think that's kind of cool. It is cool, but also the thing I have to remember and remind him is we're opposite because, or at least before, because this is a huge life change getting in a relationship. My life is changing. And as much of a partier as I was, I like life music. I have, you know, these desires to be out and be social. Like I thrive in those environments, but I didn't have anything else that had my full attention. Right. So that was my motivation.

I lived alone with my dog And those days that I was alone with my dog Were great days But at some point I want to get out and see my friends And go see shows and, you know, take shots of Jameson I love Jameson So, you know, things are shifting in my life Now he's the most important thing

And instead of wanting We're disgusting, I hate us No, I love disgusting couples Who would have thought watching us on the show this summer That she's saying all these sweet things? I know. Not even me. especially me. I'm just sitting here smiling.

And now she's saying all the sweetest thing. I'm like, oh, it's real. That's really romantic. But you're kind of in a pivotal time in your life too age-wise because I really feel like I always say this. I probably said I'm like way too many podcasts. That 27 was like a very pivotal moment for me where I could like sense change in every way possible.

Like I felt more mature. I felt like I was ready to grow up a little bit. I'm still not. I'm obviously very immature. But like in certain ways, you know, like I just feel like 27 for me was something I look back on and I can pinpoint that age as a turning point. It's weird because I feel very similarly and

I think when I hit 25 I had some kind of quarter life crisis and I started noticing that I wasn't the youngest person everywhere I went. I wasn't the hip, young knows all the things and part of it was that was my job as a radio personality I was supposed to reach that

demographic and it scared me that I wasn't young so I held on to it as long as I could and that was I think maybe some of my motivation for partying and being with younger people to feel young. And now I'm just kind of like, okay with not being young. Yeah, I love it. It's not that we don't have fun, but.

It's fun to watch because we went to a couple dinners, and our friends were drinking, and she's like, water's good, or sweet tea. And then we, and I'm like, and I just liked her. I'm like, wow, and that happened like three nights in a row, and I'm like, okay. Okay. She likes me. Who's this girl, not drinking? I do think it's funny just because I have watched you guys.

that always feels so creepy because whenever people say things to me like oh my gosh i feel like we're friends and i watch you i'm always like and now i'm like saying to you guys and i'm like oh god i get it i totally get it but it was funny because the whole like showmance thing what the kids call it uh you were so cute mark and like honest and open with your feelings and i was like did you really were you just like game like game face yeah i mean i'm i've been so anti love for a while and that's one thing like my friends are still in shock they can't grasp that I have a real life boyfriend and we're moving to the suburbs together oh I love it and it just love the burbs any guy that approached me it was just no thank you I'm not interested please see yourself

out so this is shocking for me and I didn't go on big brother I didn't change my life quit my job pick up everything to do this crazy reality show to find a boyfriend I went there to win money yeah and so i was game focused and i anytime you see me pushing him away on tv that was my motivation was the game but and also that just the weird like i can't date in real life why should i try on network television right and and you kind of do you know while you're in there like are you like everybody's watching right now like like yeah i always say like what if i had a black hair coming out of my chin that i needed to pluck like would everybody just do a screen grab of that and then it would haunt me for the rest of my life yeah like i've got some

really embarrassing screen grabs. And now that I've said that out loud, everyone's Googling them. I'm like, I don't want to right now. You forget, though, because it's just like... You do. It just becomes natural and normal. I get that. But at the end of the day, he still was the person I wanted to be around. We're still trapped in a house with 16 people getting fewer and fewer every week. And he was one of the ones I enjoyed his company. So, I mean, I was living in a catch-22. I wanted to spend time with him and get to know him. But we're also in an environment that you can't 100% get to know. someone so I just had reservations about it all and daily contradicting feelings like

of course it's it's kind of terrifying well and you're just it was confused like you're like what is my life even right now am I even in a position to like have a crush on somebody or am I right you're like pushing it away and that's why I always told him I'm like do you just like me because I'm like the best option for in here that happens on the bachelor and bachelorette too by the way they're like did you just pick me because I was the best out of the group or is this real like yeah do you actually like me like would you like me if we were not in a confined space with cameras on us. Right.

Well, it's so funny because looking back, she really did contradict herself all the time. It would be stay away from me and then we'd be talking for three hours at night. Yeah. And then in the morning, no, Mark, we can't do this anymore. And then she'd avoid me all day. I'd get sensitive because they'd bring me in the DR,

asking me 20 questions. Then I'd break down. And then she'd kiss me. And then I'm like, okay. And then she's like, that was a mistake. It was like, she just toyed with me. Yeah. I just wanted to make sure that you were like,

emotionally stable for our future it was a test there you go great test yeah i passed you really did pass because like in the big brother house i looked at the i looked at the game differently and there was like i kind of knew what was happening to a sense and i'm like i can't win h-oh-h so there's nothing that i can really do i don't want to be around everybody else who's just like talking about the other people and it's just the same thing so i'm like i just want to get to know her oh i was far more important than the game to you way more important which is so romantic good god and and and i I feel like you guys were so comfortable around each other. Like, even though you were trying to pretend you didn't have a massive crush on him.

Yeah. Like, you still were so comfortable with each other. It was really sweet to watch. It's interesting now looking back or even just really meeting fans because... Like me? Yes. I love you so much. CBS fan.

Like, people that just watch on CBS, they're like, oh, wow, you guys are together? I'm like, that's cool. Like, I didn't see that coming. Right. And then the people that watch live feed, huge fans of ours yeah those are the people that really were invested in us because they saw our sweet moments they could see past my guardedness and really got to know us on a more intimate level and they're the people that that kind of that they just they did follow our journey and saw

those real moments versus the story that CBS played up right a little bit yeah of course that makes sense okay guys time is almost up it is valentine's day tomorrow and i'm rushing to get things ready to surprise the love of my life, Tucker Doodle.

Mine is, I'm like, I need to chug this. Me too.

I'm like nervous to tell you guys, only because there's a boy in the room. Do you have sisters, Mark? No, two have sisters, but. Okay. But, I mean, he's like a good sensitive guy. And he puts up with me. I can tell Sean anything. Sometimes he's like, babe, please don't tell me that ever again.

But I'm like, but why? I'm like, if you're going to see a baby come out of my vagina, I might as well tell you, like, start now. Yeah, like, let's get this train rolling. Yeah. You got to love all of me. Now I'm really looking forward to your confession. It's pretty embarrassing. Good.

So, so are ours, I think. Okay, who wants to start? No, not me. Oh, come on. No, no, no, I want to hear yours first. I have, like, five. Okay, let's start. Okay, then you give us one.

Then I'll go, the mark and go, and then you can say as many as you want. I just, I am here to wash away your sins with my wine. I came prepared. I didn't know which. I have all different types. Earlier we were, you actually opened the door to my, my tiniest confession,

which is I eat chocolate for breakfast. That's not a confession. It is a confession because I had two pieces of fudge. I tried to hide it. That sounds so good. It was delicious. And he's so into this fitness thing. And I try to be so supportive.

And I'm like, yeah, I'm doing it too. When we're in Buffalo or even Dallas and I start cooking breakfast, I start making eggs and oatmeal. I'm like, let me just make you something. thing and she'll just come in the kitchen and grab some leftovers or chocolate or I literally you're not a big breakfast guy I'm not a big breakfast guy oh I love the breakfast and I'm just like I think it's just because mostly it takes effort and no no no because it's cooked in front of you and you won't even taste it I'm like just taste my oatmeal literally just said

he would make you breakfast and you said no no well lately our lives have been so weird that that is not a luxury that we get and also it's like he just he's like plain eggs 12th But I make great oatmeal, and you won't even taste it. Wait, what is great oatmeal? I know. It's like hot water. Like, how do you make oatmeal great? No, a little peanut butter, banana, cinnamon.

Oh, yeah, I'm all about that. Yeah. It just brings back the slop nightmares. Oh, that's, I was, I'm like, that sounds like, which is actually oatmeal, right? That's what Paul told me. It's basically oatmeal. And, like, the protein powder. Protein powder.

Vitamin fortified, like, gross oatmeal. But there's, like, parts that are super, super smushy. And then there's parts that are, like, almost like, hard ligamenty ball in there. It's good for you. The only reason it tastes. so bad it's because it's basically like a vitamin powder. Yeah. And just imagine just imagine your vitamins that are opened

up and... Yeah, that's gross. Sprinkled over all your food. But that's probably good if you guys were like, oh, I'm on slop. Like, I remember back in the day with Big Brother people, like, didn't they actually eat? Like, they would have to do, oh, I'm trying to think of like, licorice and... Oh, they would add in, like, America would vote. Yeah, they didn't do that this year. They didn't make have

not so big thing this year. As it turns out, we had, like, according to what I've heard, some of the most content produced in a Big Brother season. Yeah. So they had to skip out on covering have-nots and HOH baskets. I know. The HOH room tours. They had to skip that because we were just screaming at each other so much.

Yeah, you guys had. That was heavy stuff. They added a fourth episode some weeks too, apparently. On Fridays, they did like a bonus episode. Yeah. So weird. They would call me in the DR and ask me about the fight, and I'm like which one? Yeah.

Every time they're like which fight. eight do you want to know about i remember watching the season and being like at one point i was like i'm like actually disturbed by the bullying going on like with josh and the pots and pans and the like i was like disturbed at one point i'm like this is like you said i think i think mark you were like this is not okay anymore like i'm like it's just ridiculous and the pots and pans i really don't mind like i didn't mind what i very calm what i right because of her yeah what i what i had a problem with is at least let me take them away from the kid yeah but i couldn't even do that and that's what i had a problem with. I'm like, I'm not going to touch them. Yeah. And you know producers were

egging them on to like, oh yeah. You're going to, you're going to win because of the pots and pans. Well, because the first day it happened, I thought he was going home that day. Yeah. And I'm like, I don't care. Let it happen. But I'm not going to take it. I'll take him from him if he tries this again. Right. They're like, okay, just don't touch them. Yeah. So then a couple of days later when I was in my two to and I took them from them. And looking back at the clip, it's pretty scary. But as soon as it happened, they're like, you can't do that. Right. I'm like, what you told me I can. They're like, yeah, well, we didn't realize how. big you were and you're like

It was terrifying. I know. I watched it happen through our little window mirror thing that was happening behind me and I remember being like, oh my God, Mark's going to kill Josh right now. Big Brother's first murder. Cool. Here we go. Yeah, here we go. Buckle up kids. And that's the guy that I'm associated with. That's my mom I am. She hated it. She hated it. It's scary when your guy gets like

I don't know. It takes a lot for me to do that too. Yeah. So I think when people see the anger side, Especially, yeah, especially if you're this laid back, like, nice. He's typically so calm and laid back and, like, sensitive and sweet. When it comes out, it comes out. But he is also huge. So when he is mad, that's scary. Yeah, poke the bear.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, wait, so your confession's eating chocolate? It's awful. It's just an awful confession. But I've got my have, gosh, I have a really bad one that I don't want to say later. That's the one you have to say. I need to hear this now. I need to confess that I apparently.

still have an active farmer's only account. Stop. And I. Farmer's only.com. They just got a free plug for me. I know. Yeah. I started it. I need to delete that because I have a very serious boyfriend.

But I noticed an email this morning. No. While I was eating my chocolate breakfast, Cadbury eggs. Delicious. Delicious. So I'm on farmers only and that needs to end. I'm sorry, Mark. I hope so.

That's so Farmers only. What made you get on that? You like farmers? Well, I made it, you know, I was on all the things, Bumble, tender, whatever. And I, those are the, all the things. Yeah, the popular ones. So I deleted all of those accounts. Yeah.

When I got out of the house. But I think I forgot about my farmer's only account, I guess. As one would. You know, yeah, it makes sense. They don't have an app. Yeah. They don't? No, it's just like a website and everyone's on a tractor.

That is so funny. I mean, is it all farmers? I don't understand this. Is it all farmers? They're not necessarily. all farmers but you don't farm no but like maybe i maybe before i was interested in dating a farmer i wasn't i i talked in there done that so i i'm on farmers only dot com that's that's that's pretty funny that's a funny confession do you want me to go mine's mine's gross i'm really

excited wait so you come up with a new confession every i was going to say like with every guest and stuff it's so hard to confess every week to the point where i'll go back and like confess from things when I was like 15 or something just because I'm like I don't and sometimes I'll be like I don't I cannot think of one and it'll be super lame like like you eat chocolate for breakfast like I had 16 hours of sleep the other night that's kind of embarrassing that's awesome no that's great that's not even ashamed of that so mine's gross um wait let me fill up our wines okay yeah continue this is it's that can I confess that I'm starting to like get a buzz oh as you should that's what I go for in this podcast I'm starting to be like Yeah, perfect. Then I'll keep topping you up. And then we'll get to that good confession. Oh, Lord bless me. Oh, yes.

Okay, so the other day we were in Hawaii and we were coming home. I was coming home by myself. Sean was on a different flight. I have this really cute big bag that's clear. And it's like a beach bag, but I used it as my carry-on. Oh, man, this was so embarrassing. So I guess I threw some dirty undies in it, like not thinking one day. And so I'm going to go through security.

Don't picture it with me. I have like poop stains on my underwear. It's not that. Well, now that's so gross. Now that is what I'm picturing. It wasn't that. Okay. I'm not that gross.

So the bag has to go through the, you know, the little belt for security to check it to make sure there's no weapons. Of course. And I lay the bag down and there are my panties, sunny side up, just for the world to see. Mark is mortified right now. No, it's nothing compared to what she told me. What, what have I told? Don't say it. Oh, my gosh, that makes me feel so much harder with my confession.

She's very open with me. I am? Yeah. That, what? That open? Do you want me to tell? Does she leave sunny side up panties in the bedroom? What did I do?

Can I just tell everything right now? I wish you wouldn't. If you really feel uncomfortable at the end of this, we can edit it out. Do you have something in mind? No, but I'm just saying you just, like, said so many things. I am gross, too. I'm gross. I'm gross.

I'm gross. I'm gross. Like the other day you were on the toilet and I was just right next to you? That happened this morning. You do that, right? Yeah. But what? Like.

No, just like the regular one. Oh. Yeah, of course. All the time. Yeah. He was in the shower. There's one bathroom. Come on.

Oh. Oh, she was just peeing in front of you? Well, no. You guys lived in the big brother house together. You're telling me that peeing in front of each other? No, there was more. There was more to it. What are you talking about?

Oh, did she toot? Yeah, and it was so loud. And, like, the whole, and the whole toilet just vibrated. Okay, Caitlin, listen. And it was just like, I'm like, oh, my. Because before. Do you two in front of Sean? Yes, all the time.

Before that, it was a two, but that was like, she just ripped ass. I mean, there's no other way to put it. Yes. First of all, I've, I've been listening and smelling his farts since Big Brother, and let me tell you. Sloptoots are not pretty. That's what I've heard. Are some of the, it sounds like it's. some kind of conspiracy theory it's not i've experienced mark on slop and mark off of sloppy

me cody yeah i were you guys do you remember that i'm the creep that watches the live feeds i'm like oh they've got the sloptoots like ew i'm such a weirdo no i just feel like really comfortable now because you understand and you've been there with me yeah and you didn't know it but i was i feel like nervous for myself in the big brother house knowing that you're watching me like i don't know what kind of things i'm feeling right now but it's strange no i'll good all good but they are really bad and i've had this is my first relationship in years yeah and i'm like i'm gonna be like the hot cool girlfriend and you know like i just want him to always think i'm sexy so i'm just never gonna fart ever it's i'm just gonna actually shut that portion of my body

down to where it doesn't work anymore who needs to fart yeah and i was actually like stealthy in the big brother house about my bowel movements about my no one ever knew i mean We get so comfortable, like, week one, it's like, you know, you're just announcing it, like, go and I go, poop. Yeah. And everyone was comfortable. And it's not like I was uncomfortable with it. It was fine. You're just stealth.

But I was stealth. Like, I really had it down. I can't, I don't think anyone knew when I was going. Yeah. And I took that with me outside the house with him. And then I don't know what it. That was, first of all, this moment he's speaking of was like a month ago. And he was so far away.

It wasn't that loud. It wasn't that crazy. We farted yesterday on the toilet. I know, I did. But the funny one was... The funny one was a long time ago. Okay, it's been like a total of three toots in front of you. Oh.

Just three. I made a fart noiser. But that's nothing. Three? Yeah. And he does that three every half hour. Yeah. She loves it, though.

He's probably past cast here. Yeah. Apparently, I don't know. I just don't know if I'm ready for it. Well, but I've just started... You're too late. I know. I guess I'm too late.

We've just started talking about like when I actually need to poop. It's like, especially on the road trip where we're in the car and I'm like, I'm that, no, you got to come up with a code word. Oh, that's genius. Sean and I call it a board meeting. Okay. You know, it's like, oh. I like that.

He'll like roll over in the morning. He goes, oh, it's 7.45. It's time for that board meeting. I was telling you about last night. And then he'll go. Then I'll go. Board meeting's good. You can steal that if you want.

We might. And it also makes me feel like I have a job when you, when I say that I have a board. It sounds important. I just get up and grab my phone. And whenever I take my phone to the bathroom, she knows. It's like when men used to take the newspaper back in the day. He goes and he listens to Taylor Swift and he plays Candy Crush. Which is my confession.

That's when I know. Which, yes, I love Taylor Swift. Oh, that's cute. He has, in his house, his master bathroom doesn't have toilet seat. Yeah. He ripped it off. There's no toilet seat. I didn't rip it off.

I just unscrew it. I just picture you like this big box. Like, Hulk, like, gr. be, I don't need this. Like, ripping a toilet. Shattering it. So when he goes to this one particular downstairs bathroom and starts playing Taylor Swift, like, on the way to the restroom. That's what I know.

I was like, mm-hmm. He said to that board me. Okay, so then maybe you guys say, I got to go to a Taylor Swift concert. Yeah, that's good. Oh, that's great. Okay. I like that. Yeah, you can start using that.

I feel like I'm part of this relationship. I'm like, yeah, this is good. You're like, I'm here for it. Yeah, I agree. I'm here for it. I could go to a Taylor Swift concert. And you play, I think Candy Crush is funnier to me than listening to Taylor Swift.

It's such a dated app. I know, I'm like, we're in 2018. It's so addictive now. How long have you been playing it? I still play Bajouled. Do you know that one? Oh, yeah. That's old.

That's even older. That's worse. You have no room. I'm just judging you. I apologize. I'm just straight on Instagram. I'm like, mm-hmm. Yep.

Yeah. Caitlin Risto's on the beach. I like that swimsuit. She's wearing it a lot, but I like it. Every day. I brought like 13 bathing suits I wore two yeah no but the black one was good was it oh yeah better than the Baywatch red one I mean I love I love black I just love one pieces I do too yeah yeah I'm confession yeah this is a bathing suit really my shirt is a bathing suit yeah yeah I'm totally into wearing that as yeah it's cute I would never guess that yeah you you've got great style surprise thank you great style I thought that on the show too your whole army get up with the underneath the crop with the oh yeah yeah it's hard to I mean you must know like it's hard to dress on TV they're like

be yourself follow these 1,200 rules though so on the bachelor I had to pick all of my outfits out and like come up and then you don't know how long you're going to be there actually that's another question I have for you guys so I didn't know how long I was going to be there but I was really cocky I was like oh I'm totally backing for the full like 12 weeks I mean I'm gonna go far same I did the same I was like, yeah, I do need 19 shampoos, thanks.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. And so on Bachelorette, it was glorious because I had a stylist the whole time. Oh. Every single day. That's nice. Hair, makeup, people bringing you. Sushi, whatever you want to eat.

Drinks it all time. I feel like I picked the wrong reality show. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you did. Well, you didn't. I didn't. I was waiting for it. Yeah, you didn't because, oh. You guys are really freaking cute.

We're cute. Like, you can't keep your hands off each other. It's freaking adorable. We were at dinner last night, and the waitress came up to us, and she's like, there were three. So as soon as she started talking, I was expecting, like, oh, people are recognizing us. She's like, oh, three waitresses came up to us and just said, you guys are the cutest couple. Aw. She's like, you're really making waves around here, and I was like, that's so sweet.

And it's so funny because I really was one of my concerns, because I'm a very affectionate person. I never thought I'd be this affectionate, though. I didn't think she'd be affectionate outside of the house. But you are? I think she's more affectionate than me. Really? that's why we're late today because you're doing it well yes

amazing but also how are you I just have to stop strong in that honeymoon phase every 20 minutes and like go like kiss him or touch him or hug him or something or be like and we'll just catch ourselves and be like we're disgusting yeah this is gross I hate myself I'm here what at the airport would you do

oh it was just my high club I wish I don't fit that one yet that'd be a struggle for me you just got to get a pod in first class on an overnight So first-class pod? So, yeah, just win the lottery and then... Yeah. No, get, if you could do an appearance, make them fly you first class, to the appearance,

make sure it's like a red eye, you get in the pod, you snuggle, everybody's sleeping. Just do it. Is this like... Oh, yeah, I've done that, and everybody knows it. Okay. Oh, yeah, I've done it, and everybody knows. My poor dad knows I did that because it was on, like, entertainment tonight, unfortunately. Sorry for you, buddy.

Okay, I missed that one, apparently. Yeah, yeah, that's okay. it's well that's exciting so I need to make that that's a bucket list now yeah to do that yeah yeah it has to be on your bucket list oh my gosh it's not on your bucket list no oh well it is now put it on there I just updated that put it on there but okay okay should we circle back we need to circle back okay I just totally probably could have gotten away without saying it and I just no I'm so glad we're circling back thank you Mark for being the sober one in the room and I just stabbed myself in the back I just sabotaged my Caitlin Bristow off the vine game no no this makes your game better

no this game and Mark don't think you're getting off easy like you still haven't really confessed oh yeah I'm I'm I'm sorry you need to go way deeper way deeper yeah sorry bud he's like oh god am I saying this right now yeah yes I can't I won't I beat the bed a little bit I'm big brother oh that's okay it's fine I'm so accepting of like weird I knew that you knew that You knew that I peed the bed. You told me. Wait, did you pee the bed or did you dribble a little? You got the bed.

Well, what it was. It wasn't a bad one. Oh, okay. It wasn't a bad one. But that's a scary. It was a good one. Good peeve. Yeah.

Yeah. It was a good one. Okay. The scary thing about Big Brother, like we already mentioned, is you have no privacy. Yeah. So. Any little thing that happens. If you peed the bed.

on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, it's like no one needs to know. Right. But had I really gone for it? Which I did. I'm just kidding. I wish you had. Being the bad on Big Brother is terrifying because everyone would know that that happened. Right.

So I think I kind of got off like no one knew. Yeah, that's why I'm confused. I'm like, is this a confession or do people know that? No, no one knows. Really? Yeah. Or at least I have seen no evidence of it on the Internet. I would have heard about it.

And I would have heard about it by now because I've heard about everything. Yeah, of course. So I now, I, now everybody knows that I peed the bed. It's okay. Nobody listens to this podcast. Okay, sure. Yeah. I believe you.

Nine million followers on Instagram. That's fine. Yeah. So, I mean, it wasn't a ton. What happened? Why? You know, like, sometimes you just be. But I don't.

No? No. No. Okay. Not really. I mean, I've done it as an adult. Okay. Yeah.

Sober? No. Oh. No. Okay. Definitely not. So you were sober because you can't drink. Yeah.

Right. You can't drink in the Big Brother house. No. You can't get drunk. It's very limited. Yeah, there's no drunk. How did you survive? Not well.

Yeah. So the worst part was, too, is I was in the bed with Christmas. So Christmas, I'm sorry if you're hearing this, I pee the bed with you. Yes. normally especially at this point in the season i was sleeping with mark pretty regularly depending on our have-not status and the day because of the toots oh no because i was in the ham-not yeah yeah yeah okay but also because of the toots right and at at this point the day that it happened mark and josh got into a huge fight about who was sleeping in the bed with me that

night yeah and i was napping what you're not allowed to do in the big brother house and i'm drinking no napping this is not a life I want to live I'm so good I didn't go on celebrity big brother go on had I known that you couldn't drink or nap I would have been like politely declined I'm sorry but this doesn't work with my lifestyle currently thanks for the offer but no um so I was kind of napping and Josh and Mark got into a for real fight about sleeping in bed with me because if you know like Josh had this fake or real crush on me throughout the season I'm not sure and so I was just like you know what you guys pray about it get back to me but i can sleep in bed with christmas with christmas because that spot is open and she just always had my back in the house yeah i was the

worst but i'm totally oh yeah no i did no i was like oh that's really oh sorry as i'm right watched you're like i actually remember oh i was there i remember i did sometimes like you make it sound like i never did but i sometimes i did protect you she had your she always had your best interests yes that's correct yes um and that night you know when you have the dreams that you need to pee and you're like oh in my dream i need to pee so i'll you know make the smart adult decision and go to a restroom and pee and so in my dream i was like sitting on a toilet peeing and then i woke up mark stop i can't no i didn't know it was like full like ever like you just peed i really thought it was just like a little like i mean it wasn't a time it wasn't a time because the way you're making it sound was like you're just sitting on a toilet just like yeah it started to happen nice but you caught yourself

I woke up and I was like I'm being so those Kegel exercises finally came in handy and I stopped myself and then had to like very like sly stealthily spy like grab a change of downstairs clothes and

go to the bathroom and then get back in bed but I don't think it I don't know I don't have... We were accustomed to that, though. What? What? Like stealthly trying to change under the sheets. Yeah.

I mean, I did. Wait, I never even thought about that. Changing. Yeah. Because the bathroom has a camera too, doesn't it? It does. And it's one tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny bathroom with no lot. You can't change in it.

You can't change in that. Not really. And so my boobs are giffable. Yeah. You can send them to your friend's family, pastor, boss. Maybe I have. Okay. Definitely not my pastor, but.

I have seen your boobs Thank you As gifts Okay Go on Alright So it's just hard It's hard to be

Modest as modest as you want to be And I'm not like the most modest person I'm like men boobs or boobs But then when I start thinking about like Boobes or boobs I have boobs And 200,000 people on live feed song I get a little anxious and nervous Of course

And insecure And I get DMs about My boobs Not always positive either oh i'm you can't you are on social media as a public figure you think you're going to get all positive dms no i never really thought that but you're going to get everywhere from like guys being disgusting to girls hating you to girls being inspired by you but like everyone everything is and everything will get into your dms i don't even want to know what guys get because yeah i'm like

la la la la i don't want to know i don't want to know i'm like what's the last nude you opened on an instagram dm mark Was it mine? Confession. Today. It wasn't yours. And it wasn't great. The confession would be that it would be great.

I feel like Mark needs to confess. I know. What are you going to confess to us, Mark? I confess to Taylor Swift, the music thing. Oh, you think you're getting off that easy? Okay, so in the house, we would finish things. I mean, we would start things. Yeah.

But we never finished, so I just had to go to the bathroom and finish myself. Oh, yeah. Okay, that's a good act. Actually, that's a really good confession. Because I feel like I think about that kind of stuff all the time. And her confession should be what day it was. What? What?

Well, just how soon we did come together. Oh, yeah. Oh, like day two? Twelve. Oh. Yeah, that's fair. That's like two weeks. Yeah.

Thanks, y'all. You're listening to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Okay, so we, this is what happens on every podcast. Right. The wine jumping all over the place. I know. When you get the key. Oh, right.

How do you not know, like there's a camera there? Oh, you know. It's there. You just don't know that that's what they're telling you that you're finding the key? I knew. Okay. At this point, whenever they told me, like, hey, we're sending in. you know, a team to, to film your at-home package.

It's still part of your casting. God bless you. Thank you. And just make sure you, like, give it your all because, you know, this is going to determine whether you really make the show. We want to make sure you have a good package. Like, they make it sound like it's part of your casting process. And so they're just like, we just want to see you in your element, get some of that

footage and see to determine. And then I'm like, yeah, you're not going to send people from L.A. if I'm not on the show So there's that Right And but I can see people Who maybe haven't had that experience To be surprised

So I knew for sure that I was on the show When they told me like hey this is like I literally was completely packed Everything in my life was prepared to leave And then you talk to other people Like I remember Matt in the house talking about How he was like I had no idea I hadn't packed anything like

I had like a couple t-shirts that I thought maybe Really Yeah he's like I had my orange t-shirt Yeah, I had my orange t-shirt and my blue t-shirt But I just already had those So it's funny to see some people not being aware of that And how did you get to pack? One suitcase

It actually is Is that why he recycled his orange shirt for many times Or was he just a big fan of show on the guns? He took the rules that they send us For packing very seriously And again, I had kind of a bit of a leg up So I've watched TV being produced and I understand, like, what's appropriate for on camera and what's not.

And they were very impressed with my packing. They had to take almost nothing away from me, but they also were like, this isn't your style at all. And I was like, yeah, I know because, like, I can't wear banties on TV. Right. Yeah, you can't wear logos and... Yeah, and, like, I can't wear black on TV. Oh, shoot, I'd be in trouble. Yeah.

It's like, all I wear is black. Same. And I, like, have a really, like, girly, edgy mix, like a touch of country style. And they're, like, everything. you packed is great but it's not at all what we saw in casting like you're like quirky weird style so i was like i mean i know but have you read your rolls yeah you're like i'm just trying to follow your role like listen i'm trying to be obedient you know otherwise you'd have to be on tv with like a blur on your shirt at all the time all the time that's why that's why matt had to wear a bandaid on his

tattoo all the time that's what i thought what was it a logo it was lyrics to a movie or a song or something are him and raven still together huh who that no i'm just kidding um a According to social media, yes. Really? I'm so confused. I'm still confused by the Raven and Matt thing. I'm like, was she really just saying all this? Was that her gameplay?

Was she genuinely like thinking she believes these things that she's saying? We all don't know. Nobody knows. We don't know. Okay. We don't need to go there then. Yeah. Let's not.

I can get, I like, your guys body language immediately changed up like, and let's move on. And we're moving on. Okay, next topic. What is your least favorite question to be asked? Least favorite question Like mine for example is When are you guys getting married? I hate it

Or like oh my gosh Are you guys really still together I'm like No we're just like We're just like We're just characters It's like better for our business I think she likes the marriage question

Aw I mean Shut up Oh is that sarcasm No no she really does Oh when do you guys get married I don't know I asked him yesterday

What I asked him yesterday when he was going to propose to me it's like a daily conversation i'm a little drunk i haven't really eaten much day just a couple of cadbury eggs i had three meals and i'm still a little buzzed this is fun oh my god when are you proposing whisper it yeah just tell her and then also text me it later thanks you can send me the rings and i'll like give you advice oh my god would you i'll show you the rings that i'm considering oh my god i love you guys oh my god i love you It feels like so soon, but also I have just zero doubts.

Yeah. No, you guys just seem... You've been through so much together already. That's what it is. It's such a different... Yeah. As long as we were, is equivalent to like two years of dating. I was going to say five.

More than, yeah. I was going to say five. I totally agree. Like, you've really just gone there immediately with them, with each other. And I feel like you get it more than most fans because you've experienced something somewhat similar dating on TV having people doubting you and your real feelings and stuff and I promise you that I was the same way watching Big Brother in the past I don't know why Amanda and McCray from season 15 stand out so much to me but I just remember thinking like

okay yeah right like y'all don't have real feelings and they're not together now um she's married to someone different I like them both very much individually um but I just remember doubting them so much like okay yeah those those feelings are not real yeah as a fan watching it's you You don't, people forget, and I say this all the time. Yeah. When you watch Big Brother on CBS or The Bachelor or whatever, you can be as invested as possible. But at the end of the night, you're still turning off your TV and living your own life and doing all of your own things. And him and I are still trapped in a house together.

And I mean that in the best way and the worst way. Yeah. Like we're still trapped in a toxic environment. Yeah. We're still dealing with people lying and manipulating, like deprivation. Yeah, that doesn't go away for you guys. The social experiment that comes with Big Brother. but also in the best way like we're still stuck in there together getting to know each other

in the most intimate way for hours with nothing else to do and it's like our feelings leaving that house going to the jury house coming to the outside world are very real yeah because you also nobody can relate to what you went through also except for the two of you Like if Sean and I ever, we will never, but if we ever broke up and started dating other people, I would be like annoyed that they don't get what I like. Because I'd obviously be such a topic of conversation to like go there and I'd get annoyed. Like nobody will ever relate to what you guys went through. And that's why I think the Big Brother community is such a cool thing. And you must feel, again, similarly with the Bachelor franchise and like that Bachelor Nation thing.

Like people that have even if they weren't on your season or you don't know them personally. immediately we're really connected with people that have been on Big Brother because it's like even though you weren't on our season and every season is so different you know what we're talking about you know what we felt you know what we've been through and it's I mean it's challenging like yeah and every it's so challenging having so many people be against you like you're riding this wave where everybody else is coming towards you and you're just trying to go one way on your own like and everybody's just doubting you and not believing you especially with that she had it a lot worse after the show because i was women well well and because like i was a teddy bear i was

very clear about my emotions to her and then she was i'm a little bit more abrasive and this is how i feel this is how it is yeah well yeah what people don't understand also about reality tv is that it's not real yeah like there's real aspects to it and there are real situations and they're real feelings and they're real emotions but like even there is there is post production there is magic and post production. I could have a 20 minute conversation with Mark and they could take just because because in their defense they have 16 people in the house that they're trying to follow how many storylines they have to get to the point 24 hours a day. Yeah there's so much content to follow. So it's like it's not like they're going against us. Oh, the big brother producers that team of people are incredible. I am so grateful for

everything they did for us. They work. They have to work 24 hours a day for us. And they're truly phenomenal what they do but I could have a 30 40 minute conversation with him and they could take just the parts that seem necessary but it could spin me in a way that is a little less like relatable and relatable or kind or you know what I mean like they want the parts that make make the most sense for the storyline that they're following that's why I like doing the live feet yeah you really get the whole story especially from coming off a reality show myself I'm like I want to see like the raw footage and I think that's it is a blessing and a curse to have that. Oh, totally.

100%. Because, good Lord, if they had 24-hour footage of the Bachelor, Bachelorette, it'd be a whole other show. But they have certain storylines that they decide on and they decide how it's going to go. And it's so, it is manipulated, but it's also really real at the same time. Yeah. It's just such a weird concept. Again, it is. And most fans are just sideline fans. Like, they're there for the highlights or what people are saying on Twitter or... And they all think your character is not real people. Yeah, they're getting ready for bed while they're watching.

So they miss moments that are important and people don't know us as us. And that is why I appreciate live feeds because there are a really big handful of fans that, like, we met a fan last night in Knoxville, came to where we were because they saw it on my Instagram story. And I, like, made a comment about my mom and they're like, oh, my gosh, Eugenia. And, like, they knew me because they watched live feeds all day, every day. They knew Mark, and it's fun to meet those people that really got to experience who we were, not any kind of edited character version of us. It's one of my biggest pet peeves when people just go off an edited version of somebody, and then they use the whole excuse, like, if they're mean to you, they use the excuse of, well, you put yourself out there. And my reaction, and it's always moms with kids.

And my, like, thought process is always like, what if your kid really like to play? like the trombone and he wanted to be in band in school and what if that's what he chose for himself so he put himself out there because he loved that and people bullied him for being like a band geek or something when he's passionate about music are you going to tell your kid that he exposed himself to bullying and it's his own problem like I love that you bring that up because that's whenever somebody sent especially when people comment or send me really horrible messages. I'll just take a quick peek at their page.

And I'm like, okay, Karen, you have three kids. So many Cairns. A cat. Like, I'm like, hi, Karen, listen, I just wanted to propose to you the idea of maybe like your child growing up and just receiving like endless hate from strangers on the internet who don't know them. Like, how does that make you feel? Brave enough to go on national television just to be themselves.

Like, we're not actors. We're just exposing our children. true selves to strangers and now you're going to come at me for being who I am yeah when like what if that was your kid why is it always the moms like why yeah why are moms so mean I'm like I you know you have kids right I know I'm like you're you're a sister you're a daughter you're a mom you have friend and think about your loved ones and then people we're getting so fired up I know I'm mad well because then I'm like I also hate when people are like don't pay attention to them I'm like trust me if 30 people a day we're coming at you saying the same awful things every day all day you would be like if you

have any sort of backbone you'd be like yeah no i'm gonna stand up for myself i know thank you for saying that because i those are some of the messages i hate the most where it's like don't give the trolls the attention that they're wanting like why are you even acknowledging them and i'm like i'm sorry but if you had just like yeah i'm like first of all i really thrive in this environment you guys are the same person you guys are the same i know when i read your responses to trolls i'm like that it's something I would say that freaking tweet the other day that we tweeted the exact same thing Yes it's so funny

I was like mm-hmm yep She's me, I'm her I'm just like if I ignore it Unless I can really teach them a lesson Or make a joke out of it Yeah Slash humiliate them back Yeah

And people that are like You have a platform they don't And I'm like oh okay So they don't have a platform So that excuses their bad behavior No I'm sorry I'm gonna call them out It's against Everyone just projects their own

You know everything this my favorite quote I say it all the time is that whenever somebody says something I'm like this just says everything about you This means nothing to me. I do enjoy calling you out because then you can get a taste of what it feels like to be attacked and you probably will think next time and you won't do it and you might learn a lesson and you might teach your kids from that lesson and then I feel like it's it's a win for me. Of course. Fly the dubs. That means a win. Yeah.

I don't know. I'm new to the states. So I'm like, I wore a W hat the other day and people are like, oh, fly the dubs. I'm like, what does that even mean? They're like, that's when the Cubs win and they fly the like winning flag. I'm like, oh, so now I say fly the dubs when I win at something. Why did you want to wear the W hat? I don't know.

Golden Retriever? That's the only dog to get. I wanted one. No, what he wants to. You are a golden retriever. I know. That's why. Yeah.

But he really wants a Rottweiler, but yesterday we were at this place where you can just play with puppies. Where is this? How can I get there? It's in Knoxville. What? Just driving. No. Don't do that to me because then I just will spend all my time there.

Puppie zone. She was there for two hours. More than that. Yeah. And I was in my truck for like the last 45 minutes. And I'm like. He's like I'm over it. She's like, okay, I'm like rolling on your back.

I'm coming right out. And it's 405 minutes later. I came out. No, he came in. I came in. No, I came in. To get to get her off the floor rolling around with puppies. Yeah, no, they're really cute.

It's just dogs. All the, all the different types in cramps. I would have got her boxer, though. He really was like. She was in love with one of the. the box i was it's on my instagram story still i've watched the video back about 97 times very cute yeah only 97 so a reasonable amount and he was like no it's fine babe you want to go whatever my baby wants are a puppy you can you can have it you can have the puppy and i was like

Premium. Like, even if I'm like, ooh, I'm slacking on the likes. I'm like, better throw a picture of talk. Just put a dog pickup. People love that shit.

Yeah. But yeah, he really almost let me get a dog yesterday. But I was like, we still have quite a ways to get to Texas. A couple more days on the road trip. Our truck is pretty. Okay, a couple more days. And we don't have furniture. Okay, let's get the furniture first.

I feel like we may need. Well, that's the thing is it's like, and I'm very much an adopt, don't shop. Yes. Oh, that's next one for sure. Even though we did kind of, we, I wasn't around when Sean got Tucker. I know, Sean got Tucker first, but it's fine. He's yours now. He came from a house where this guy was killing dogs.

Yeah, and Tucker needed to be saved. Yeah, and Tucker was saved. So this place, it was more of a, I haven't done enough research about the place. It's called Puppy Zone in Knoxville, but they don't euthanize dogs if they're, like, they keep them until they're adopted or bought, which is good. But I think it's more of a, like a buy situation not, and they're not coming from. rescue oh no for the prices it's definitely a buy situation yeah you're like no no check out the price like yeah it was like should we get a couch or a dog yeah dog so so I was like we don't need a couch babe and he's like as long as we have dogs okay no that's why you got to use your

social media power reach out to places for a couch yeah I've tried and failed oh I don't have the same power as you well I just need like 10 more followers than I'm there you when you were I was reaching out to you before you're like I don't have people I'm like you need people I'm like you need I know that you need a team you were like I'll have my people contact your people and I was like your people could contact like my mom I loved that response I was like okay but that's very relatable yeah I don't have I don't have a team I don't have a team I have me and I have Mark my mom helps a lot she's a big big part of this organization oh cool lady yeah oh I know I've seen her tweets it's amazing she's hilarious and she's great one fan which is same as my mom which is the best yeah they should

And then I started really getting into soups from Daily Harvest, and I was like, oh, I'm a big soup guy. Soup life. I get it. A lot of people want to eat better, cut out processed food, stop snacking mindlessly, that kind of thing. And with Daily Harvest, uping your intake of fruits and vegetables is super easy. You hardly have to think about it. Daily Harvest delivers perfectly portioned frozen superfood. Eat straight to your door with your choice of smoothies, soups, breakfast bowls, plant-based sundays.

almond milk, and blend for heat. Smoothies take 30 seconds and soups are ready in five minutes. Oats and chia parfets can literally be made while I sleep. It doesn't get much easier than that.

Um, okay, so just because we're running out of time, I just wanted to do our can you not segment? Because Mark, you're, poor Mark, Sean should have been here just to balance this out because it is so sad when a man is like overpowered by two very like strong personalities to, you know, we are we are kind of in your face. But thank you for being such a good sport. No, of course. And you're so sweet and you're so, look how happy he is.

I know. Because I'm happy. Because she's happy. Because I'm making, because I'm wine drunken in your. presence. Oh, me too. Yeah. This is a great day.

It's a good day. Top 60 for sure. Wow. I'm honored. Can you not? Okay, so I have to make an appointment. Sorry again, Mark. We went from like sunny side up panties to gynecologist.

So I have to make an appointment and I haven't found a gynecologist in Nashville yet. Okay. So ladies, if you're out there listening, look me up with yours. But I was thinking about it and I'm like, oh, I just get so. much anxiety thinking about going to the gynecologist you got to trust them it's not fun i get really uncomfortable with it because i'm just like i just feel violated every time even though it's very natural and so um i actually saw on my facebook page somebody did a can you not gynaecologist so i'm like oh i'm going to use that for my segment i love it so i have to make an appointment

i was thinking about it thought this could be a great segment mark feel free to jump in of course but here we go on this segment so my first one was this actually happened to me can you not whistle a tune while you're like getting in there like i'm like are you doing that because you're awkward is something awkward here like because i whistle when i'm awkward and are you whistling while you're something wrong yeah yeah can i not um can you not ask me what church i go to while you're inside of me no she asked you with church he he he oh even what church do you go to I just feel like that's the

the real so you're sexually active and not married oh yeah that's like full judgment like he was judging you and this is my previous gynecologist from moving great guy great guy just like the awkward thing there is he does have

just like part of one finger missing and I'm like listen to where you lose that the one that goes in yeah just one of them and he like gave birth to me oh like was my mom's gynecologist and then was mine does he ask you like how's your mom and dad yeah he's like so how's you jeannia no can you not what church are you guys at these days no and i'm like yeah so i've had sex yeah not a virgin you realize that glad we're both here but but then on the other hand my gynaecologist a few years ago said oh you're super tight down there and I was like thank you

but can you not but can you not I actually think I said thank you it is a compliment thank you it's like thank you but like should I be more sexually active now is that a judgment like hey you're in your mid 20s like maybe like get around more then they didn't ask me which church I went to because they know you're a full-blown non-denominational like mm-hmm Protestant every Sunday they're like see you there next Sunday

Don't miss a service Oh god Cool Okay You got another one I actually made a list So do I It's in my notes

Are in front of me Stand by Stand by Mark you got one No no no What about like the guy Like when Do they actually say cough

I really appreciate it And you are a good sport That's like Sean too I'm like he's like God Caitlin Like my mom will text me and be like Let Sean talk I'm like but he doesn't Yeah I'm like I'm helping him

If anything we just be sitting here in silence Yeah I'm like I'm just Yeah like ask Mark more gynaecologist questions Yes Okay read one more off your list oh i have i have a few okay i'll go my my main thing is can you not be harder to reach than batman like when i need you i need you can you be there for me if anyone should be there for you it's your gynecologist it's my gynecologist and i have a great gynecologist now but my one

complaint is like hi if i'm calling it's because like i need you yeah there's some stuff happening that requires your full attention asap i'm not calling to change Yeah. I don't want you to know that I switch churches. I want you to cure what's going on. The thing. That's, my other one was, can you not have just, like, metal strips? Like, why have they got to be so cold?

It's not comfortable. Can you be the most comfortable? Like, why aren't you playing, like, meditation music and, like, dim the lights a little bit? Set the mood for me. Set the mood. Can then gel just, like, not be so cold? Can you warm it up a little? Could you lock the door so somebody else's husband doesn't enter my exam?

Oh, and can you not ask me, this just kidding to me now, if you're like understudy can come in and watch? I'm like, no. No. No, we've built a relationship here. I trust you. You've seen this before. I don't need any stranger coming in to watch. You get up in there.

Can you not compare my vagina to somebody else's? Oh, did they do that? You're not as tight as Caitlin, who I had earlier. You're not quite as dead as Caitlin Bristow, but I mean, who is? That's fair. Yeah. Sean's a lucky guy. I love looking at Mark in this conversation.

He's just, like, blushing, and I goes, uh-huh. Yep. It's great. Okay, we'll leave it at that unless you have one more. I don't know. I'm out. I'm out. Okay, my last one is, can you not ask me why I'm not on birth control?

You're not on birth control? I'm not on birth control. Are you just, like, fully relying on the pull-out? method? We use protection. Okay. It sucks. Oh, I'm sorry about that. Yeah. Sometimes we don't. But I also wouldn't be mad if I got pregnant. Yeah, like, you're fine. You could have a baby maybe. We're so committed. Like, he's not leaving me because I'll find him. And I'm not like, I'm so committed. We own a house. We want kids. We talk about kids more than a marriage. So I'm like, I would not be upset if I got pregnant. Yeah. So it's, it is what it is. You know, just full penetration. I'm like,

I don't like, nothing against birth control, but it affects me. If I'm on it, crazy bitch, not good. It affects my hormones to the next level. Like, I can immediately, I'm like, oh, birth control. Yeah. I need to go. Your body's like, no thanks. Your body's like, can you not?

My body's like, I'm not. Okay, so, Marxel, can you not talk about this anymore when we move on? So I put on my Facebook page of the lovely, lovely, there's men on there too. Oh, I shouldn't just say lovely ladies. The Off the Viner's? I got so many questions for you guys, like more than I've ever got for any other guests. You're lying. No. Don't lie to me, Caitlin.

I will tell you the truth. This is the first time I posted in the Facebook group, so they're very much. But it was, I was like, wow. I'm just going to pick a few. I'm going to try and pick ones that we haven't already talked about. Oh, yeah. Actually, this is really cute. This is deep.

This is a deep question. Oh, shoot. Okay. I'm ready. I'm drunk. Elena always said she wanted to be with somebody who challenged her intellectually. In what ways has Mark done that? Wow.

That's deep. That is deep. You know, I'm too drunk for this question. I understand. You don't have to answer it. No, Mark challenges me in ways that I need to be challenged. And looking back, I always wanted a guy that I could have, like, stimulating conversations with. And I think that's what inspired my saying I wanted to be challenged intellectually.

And now that I'm in a relationship that's really healthy and thriving and, like, contributes to my life more than anything else does, like, I'm challenged in ways that I need to be challenged by him. And, like, watching Big Brother, you would think that I was really emotionally mature and maybe he wasn't because he let him, you know, like he cried and he showed his emotions. But in reality, I love that you cried. I was very emotionally immature. and he was the one that was able to process emotions the healthy way. And so... Great answer. I'm being emotionally challenged by him,

and he's making me feel comfortable being vulnerable with someone, which I haven't felt in six years. And so that's the thing that I think is more important for me than anything right now, is just being 100% comfortable being myself. And we have so much... much fun together and we so important we do have stimulating intellectual conversations and some of them are me just teaching him something she teaches me a lot yeah you got it one of my favorite things is one of my girlfriends was um she's dating a new guy and he's never been in a serious

relationship before and it was raining and they got out of a cab and he like bolted out of the cab to get to the door without like helping her and she was like okay do you want a boyfriend tip or if you don't totally fine we'll move on I won't bring it up. And he's like, oh, no, I want it. And she goes, maybe, like, help me out of the door, like, use your jacket to cover my hair. And he was like, oh, my God, I'm such an idiot.

And I thought that was such a mature approach. Yeah. To, like, handling that situation instead of getting mad. She was like, do you want this advice? Totally, I'll move on if you don't want it. Obviously, he's going to say he wants it. Yeah. And then he was like, shit, I'm an idiot.

Right. And luckily, for me, I'm with a guy that puts me before himself every single time. God. and that like not to it this this question is tough

but for me I am more than happy and would have never thought that I would be this like blessed by a man ever and that's so cheesy and like no it's not it's beautiful but I

I am a huge fan of cheesy and that to me that's beautiful that is like really sweet he just like he makes me happy in every single way and like in comparison into that situation like Mark's like

I'll drop you off I'll walk you in I'll leave the car there if we get a ticket it's fine like it's just true gentleman as long as she pays for the ticket yeah how funny

hilarious but fair you know it is so yeah he has challenged he has challenged me in the ways that I needed

to be challenged I didn't need to be intellectually challenged I needed to be challenged I needed to be challenged and I've never felt this comfortable with a guy and also admired and beautiful.

And, like, he makes me feel like I can be 100% myself, but he also looks at me like I am the most incredible, beautiful, smart, funny, like, special person. Because she is. You are. You really are. That's why he looks at you like that. You found your match, and that's why he looks at you like that,

because you are and he sees that. And even when I'm, like, insecure about anything or feeling down it's like he senses it he knows and he like all and now that's all i care about is just knowing that he make like he sees me a special and different and that's all that's all i need i'm really surprised you don't have sisters because you you seem to like i was very close with my mom my mom was she was a single mom growing up so i was very close with my mom and my emotions and that's look how well that's worked out for you yeah that's a beautiful thing i feel like a lot of men in those situations don't know how to handle that um i do feel like

sean has grown up with two sisters who he's like i mean if it's like girl problems he's there you know like he's like he's like it's fine yeah i got you and so for you to not have sisters but you had a close relationship with your mom that makes sense because i don't know i just think that's so important in a relationship for you to understand because women are wired so different and so are men and if you can just step out of your like man body in mind and see a woman's perspective and how she might be feeling that's huge and I'm not perfect I'm not perfect all the time but you're so sweet for saying that too and I'm not perfect

no we know yeah I'm like I've already jotted that down she knows that I tweeted it twice so it's fine no but that's whatever I can do to make a smile I just admire you guys I really do individually and as a couple A big fan over here. I already was because I'm a huge weirdo, but Big Marlena guy. Big Marlena guy. Big Marlena guy.

Donna Parassoe. Why is the house always so messy? Does it drive you crazy? Oh, yes. The kitchen was awful for her. There's ants, right? Ants. We had a rat our season. Yeah, there's a rat in the mansion too.

Really? Yeah. Oh, not good. Yeah, gross. At least yours is a mansion. It has more room to explore. No, you'd think so. Every room is set up with, like, cameras and interview rooms and, like, what's, like, were they just, the monitor room, like, where they just sit and watch things.

Like, every, there's three bedrooms total for 25 girls. So, everyone at bunk beds. So it really wasn't that spacious. So we have more in common than you think. But, yeah, no, it's disgusting. And, like, at the beginning of the season, I was very invested in keeping the house clean. And then at some point, you just can't continually every day, all day pick up after 16 people. Well, ours wasn't that bad.

Like, when Derek came back in the house, um, he was. It was like, wow, I thought it was going to be a lot messier. Who? Derek from season 16. He came back the night. Oh, right, right, right, right. I forgot. He, like, hosted a con or something.

After the double eviction. I didn't watch Derek's season. He was 16. He was Frankie Grande. Caleb, yes. And I didn't even watch Caleb season. So it was. But we're like kind of friends.

We had a cleaner house. Yeah. You did. But, I mean, it was still, it's still disgusting. And that was another thing. Like, when you brought up changing in the bathroom, it's like, even if the bathroom is available to change in it's like there is urine all over the floor no one cleans it people are like who comes in and like does your hair and makeup and like like cleans and picks up after y'all

and cooks for you and I'm like first of all have you seen half the girl's hair and makeup like no one does it professionally yeah so there's that yeah and then the house is gross we cook for ourselves and most of the time it's just like a frozen pizza oh that's that's tough as like a fitness person too well I was on two days a week outside and it's awful equipment you know that right No, you only got the gym equipment two days a week. Because it's outside, that's where they build our comps. So we only have... You can only go outside two days a week?

Yeah, because they're building our comps. Like, they build the H-O-H comp and set it up, we play it. Then they tear it down and build the veto comp. Oh, my gosh. And then we play it, and they tear it down. And then we have outside for like two, maybe three days. It's pretty miraculous that you guys don't go more crazy in that house. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, that's wild. The $500,000 is pretty motivating. That's why I was so calm. Like, that was aside from having a real. life boyfriend that was the other thing that my friends were like you were far less abrasive and like mean to people at times when I felt like they deserved it and I was like yeah I know because if I was mean to them then and I made it to final two they may have not voted for me yeah you're just

constantly like your brain must be how do you sleep you you dream and big brother yeah you it is gameplay 24 seven it is 24 seven even we're having sideline conversations that are ungame related it's there it's like game is going in your head 100% the time. And that's the other thing that's tough about CBS is you don't really see our entire gameplay. Like him and I had strategy. Oh, that was your question. What was the question that you like to be, that you don't like to be asked? Yeah. And mine's like, why did you play that way? Oh, yeah. That is probably the word. Do you have regrets? Yeah. Yeah. Like, why did you do this in the game? And I'm like, you only watch CBS. You didn't see our gameplay. You don't know what we had

planned. You don't know what we were trying to do. And you don't know how you would be in that situation either and it's really easy to think that like you would play a certain way or do a certain thing when you have all the information as a content consumer you have the information right and we're right we're back here in the dark not knowing what everybody else is thinking or planning or or scheming and yeah like did you know paul was just like yeah we knew by about week three but if you can't win an h-oh-h and do anything about it it's tough and at this and you kind of got to play dumb a couple times in the same breath it's like we have to they have the numbers yeah so you have to still kind of seem like we're cool with them totally but if if i went h-h

i've always said i would have i would have put up alex and josh and tried to backdoor paul paul wouldn't have gotten home because he wouldn't have had the votes at least josh or alex would have gone home right that's what we were thinking as viewers the whole time but again i'm also from this outside perspective where i'm like i can't say this because i don't know what's actually going on and i don't know like i've never played this game so i can't say what I would do and I can't blame people but as a viewer I was like why are they doing this right and I would have loved to do it and I knew I was a target I knew where I stood in the house and I knew targeting him and Alex would have been tough it would have made me even more of a target next but how does

that that doesn't really change my situation much so I would have gone for it but yeah Paul would have never left because there were just so many weak minded people in the house that were just doing what he said no matter what it was it was incredible to watch it was tough because it's like If me and Mark and Jess and Cody could have won power at any point, like there may have been enough there to do something. But still, like, we wouldn't have had the votes to get Paul out, probably, even if we won power. And we just didn't.

It was a tough season. The only H-2-H I was really close to winning was that wall comp where I threw it to Alex, and there was no real point in winning it. It all worked out for you guys. It did, and here we are. I'm so happy we got to do this. Thank you. Yes, thank you for having us.

like same you mean really same yeah and i'm we've established the friendship now you guys aren't getting rid of us we need to set up a double date so how long you guys here just a couple days i'm trying to convince him to stay through saturday but i don't know if it'll happen do you have plans no oh we're afraid well maybe tomorrow night we can do dinner do you want to i would love to that'd be that'd be fun and you got oh i can't even wait like this yeah yes i'll be i will never do this to you again i'll never do this to you again i might but honestly you need to meet sean i I think you guys are going to be, like, the bestest of friends.
