you're on? Please, that one simple thing helps more than you even realize it allows me to keep growing on this podcast and making these episodes the best they can possibly be obviously for you. That's the only favorite I'm going to ever ask, okay? It truly means the world to me. Thank you. Now let's get into it. Hey, everybody.

Welcome to Off the Vine. I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow. so and co-hosting today, my best debrie, it's been a minute. It has. Like when I first started podcasting, I feel like it was my favorite to just sit in your husband's, I was going to say father, your husband's office. She's part of the Dead Dad, Dad, Club, your husband's office because we didn't need to worry about video.

And now I'm like, damn it, we got to get cute now. You're like, how are we going to do a podcast? And I was like, oh, can't we just know, you make it a whole thing now. I was like, we on the YouTube now. You've leveled up. Had to. Got to keep up with the kids. Let's not forget I was your second ever podcast guest. Were you?

Yeah. You're like, let's not forget. You're like, you were. Let's not forget. I forgot. No, but I had just had my second baby and we had to meet up in a boardroom in a hotel. Yeah, I do remember this. That was the second one. Yeah, and I had to bring him with me because he was a newborn. And you can't be too far away at all times. And he would have. And he was perfect. I remember he didn't make a baby. Yeah, I was like, we might have to pause.

Yeah. He was good. And he slept. Rudy's just in the room. Now here we are eight hours. Okay, I got to get in the zone here. Eight years later. It feels like eight hours. Yeah, it's eight years, which is crazy. Eight years later.

Wow. Thanks for coming here. Montpleis. I mean, you came to Calgary, so thanks for here. I did. I came to Calgary, you guys, because Bree made me renew my passport and I know I needed to do it. I could have done it. Sorry to make you be a responsible adult.

I could have done it from online. in Nashville, but I didn't want to send off my passport and then not know when I was getting back. Coming back. Exactly. And also, it was a great excuse to also come see you in the family. Exactly. Yeah. So I was in L.A. for Dancing with the Stars. People are probably, when this comes out, being like, stop talking about it. Caitlin, we get it. You're on dancing with the Stars. Don't stop talking about it. I probably never will. I don't. Like, anytime I get a chance to bring up my mirror ball, I will do it. And why not talk about something that meant so much to you and bring for much joy to your life. It's a great memory.

Okay, thank you for that. Talk about things that make us happy. If someone doesn't want to listen, they've already stopped watching, so it's fine. And they wouldn't because they are, they're my people and they love hearing these stories. And I love, the best part about Dancing with the Stars is they love when you share behind the scenes. And if I do that with Bachelor, I get a cease and desist. And Dancing With the Stars wants you to talk about it? Yes, they're like talking about anything behind the scenes. Well, we'll talk about it.

So it was, I obviously was practicing every day with Andy. and I love you, Andy. You're obviously not like a train dance. Nobody's a trained dancer. Well, Alex, actually, I think everybody except Andy has some dance background. But he, he is just an earth angel, baby doll of a human, Shweedy, Peaty, Pie. And meeting him and he was, he kept saying things like, I'm really glad we're doing this together. That's so nice.

I know. He's just kind and he appreciated everything. And he was really just like, he went head first. to the experience like I think he expected to go home week one and he was just kind of there for the paycheck which I respect and then he was like oh we made it the next week and then the next time he's like oh and then it became such a thing where there's fandies and he was like I want to be here and he I just I can't tell you how hard he worked he'd be like do you want to do it again should we just count it this time let's do it with the music three times in a row he went head first

like he went all in I love that yeah it was really sweet so at first I'm not going to lie when I found out, when I got the call that I was doing this dancing with the stars so what happened was it's their 20th anniversary they were bringing back six mirror ball winners to dance with the six final celebrities and the pro had to choreograph a dance for us

and it went for points into the relay round and I didn't find any of that out until like two days before I thought I was just doing like a group number and I was like oh shit this means more than what I thought I was setting up for yes so then I was like put me with Dylan well yeah respect to his girlfriend I don't mean it in a way

where I'm like, I want to get Dylan. But I was like, he's so cute and he's such a good dancer. And he seems kind. And he seems very nice. And I was like, that would be fun because I could actually dance and he's good. Yeah. Well, Robert too, but I knew they wouldn't put me with Robert. For some reason, I just knew.

They're like, you're too much for Robert? Yeah, too much for Robert. He's just a pure innocent little soul. Well, and he's already got so much energy and putting too, too much energy. Oh. Sochi also has a lot of energy. But I thought for sure, like, Danielle even called me. And she's like, I'm pretty sure you're going to be.

with Dylan. And I was like, great. So you had it and your had you were with Dylan. Yes. So I started watching all of her dances with Dylan and like trying to move like her, which nobody can. Because she's a freaking nature. Because it's Daniela. It's Daniela. I, my brain can't even wrap my, like I can't access how to understand the way her body moves. And so Dina, the casting director goes, Caitlin, you're dancing with Andy, the heart of the show, the people's princess. And I went, ah. And then I thought about it and I went, this is perfect. Best case scenario. I talked to you and you were like, this is amazing. We were both like at first like, is this good? And then we're like, this is the best. I think it was the best thing for your experience because I think your first

time on Dancing with the Stars as magical as it was. I knew it was a long grueling process too, like injuries. Oh my gosh. And also just like very stern, strict get these moves. Yeah. And now this time it was healing in a way. It was so healing. Yeah. When you said that to me, I was like, that's a good point. It was very healing. I don't want to ever dogg on Artem because he was going through some stuff, which he's now been open about in his personal life. And I thought he hated me. I was like, this guy hates me. He does not want to dance with me.

And it was just like I felt like I was getting yelled at every day. But that's also his culture and where he came from and how he was trained as a dancer. But I was like, this is off. I'd come home and cry every day, but I loved it at the same time. You just didn't want to disappoint him. I did not want. Oh my gosh. That's exactly what it was.

I did not want to disappoint. him. And it was really hard emotionally and physically, and I've talked about that a million times. So to come back and be asked to like, I never thought I would dance in that ballroom again. And I've dreamt about it like every day since. So to know I got to go rehearse in the rehearsal space, which everybody there feels like family, even just the camera crew, the staff, the front door people. I'm like, walked in and I was like, hi everyone. Yeah. It was so special. sorry I got to tuck my hair and it's cold my hair is chilly my hair is chilly it's for the look it's for the look somebody chirped me on Instagram once because it was like the best chirp um because I had my hair tucked in

they're like is your hair cold and we're rolling with that forever now that's funny so yeah I walked in and I just I took it all in so differently I was like smelling the smells of the studio I was going into every room and looking at everything and I just taking it I was so in the moment and then the fact that it got to be with Andy and Emma, which Emma is one of the most fun pros to be, like, to have choreography from because she's so patient and she's so funny and she's such a hype woman. Oh, nice. So it was just this whole different experience for me. And I just, I've always wanted the chance to dance again to show, look, I can have an even better

frame than last time. Like, I just, I wanted this experience so bad. And I got it. And Andy was just wonderful. And I think, you had like a light. experience compared to the pressures of like win, win, win. Yes. I felt a little pressure because I wanted to get Andy the points.

But at the same time, Andy looked at me and he goes, I don't care about the points. I'm just happy to be here. And I went, I love you. I love that. I know. I think that was the perfect matchup for you and him. Yeah, he changed my whole experience. And I couldn't believe how many people had opinions on the internet.

Well, they always do. When do they not? True. But the whole feed on my TikTok was Andy and Kay. Caitlin's dance, which a lot of love and then some really, let's talk about that guy. Okay. Well, the funny thing was, is that people think that you were upset about how things went. Yeah.

And then people are making deep dive videos about a 30 second moment on the show that you're not even upset over. Because everyone thought, because the judges did not acknowledge me at all, which is fine. And we'll talk about why that was. Yeah. I don't believe you, do you believe you were snubbed? I don't think you're... No, I don't.

No, exactly. But maybe it came off that way, and then people rolled with that, right? Always. So this guy who were, like, scrolling through Instagram and something came up about you, and it was this guy who made a full-on video of that moment, and then he said, Caitlin Bristow has responded to the snub from the judges. And then he took a screenshot of, I guess, a comment that maybe you made or maybe... Maybe like eight years ago?

You didn't make it about this. No. He could have even just typed it out himself, like, put it, whatever. Copy paste. I was just like doctored it up. Yeah. Did people say that? Yeah.

And it said that your response was, whatever. Whatever. And Caitlin has responded, whatever. And I was like, wait, I didn't say that. You said whatever to something else any other time. The thing about the internet is anyone can say anything and then everyone can believe it. Yeah. And all the comments were like, well, there's only five comments.

They were all like, she deserved better. Yeah. And I was in whatever. It's so funny because I won't lie when I didn't even realize they didn't acknowledge me because I was just so in the moment and I was so proud we got through the dance because I think that was the first time that we actually got through the dance without screwing up and I was just so thrilled and again I keep using the word honored. Honored is I don't even know a word better to describe how I felt about being invited back.

Yeah, that's huge. Huge. And so I was just so happy to be there. but then when Alfonso came up and he goes and hi Caitlin thank you for being here I was like oh yeah he clocked it he kind of noticed it he totally clocked it doesn't mean it was rude and again and then I saw all the judges faces be like oh my gosh hi oh my gosh and I was like hello and then we ran up to the skybox and Julian and I are actually friends like we text we were in Rome at the same time I love her we just get along very well so people then thought she didn't even remember my name because

She went, hey, you, but it was- She sang it like, hey, my girl. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And so it was actually very cute because I never know what to expect on the internet after I do something like on a big show. I go, oh, man, they're either going to be like, that was the stupidest, ew, blah, blah, blah. And then, but everybody was so kind.

But I was like, no, no, it's fine. They didn't mean to do it. And Derek, what people didn't see, Derek ran up to me after he ran into the skybox on commercial break and was like, Caitlin, I'm so sorry. And then I was with Carrie Ann after at the after party. And she was like, we have these clocks going. Like, it was not intentional. I was like, no, it's not about me.

Yeah, because what do they have 10 seconds each? Yeah. So they need to acknowledge rumor, Dylan, Andy, and you. And then by the time, they're out of time. Yeah, exactly. It was, I did not feel snubbed. I did feel like sad that they didn't say hi to me, but I also know that timer is going. And I know that it wasn't intentional.

Yeah. So thank you for everybody who felt the need that I deserved some acknowledgement. That's very cute. I already felt enough acknowledgement just being there. And I also think Tom was not the host of your season. Yeah, he didn't know. But he has a relationship with, with rumors. So like for him, of course, that's where he's going to direct his attention.

Oh, yeah. It was fine. It was actually a nice moment. It was a nice moment. All right. We all know the moment when the weather just suddenly drops and you just feel it in your bones, like truly in your bones. That is my official cue to cozy up in bombas, whether it sucks, slippers or even teas. Oh, I love their teas.

You brought up, and I didn't even think about this, like off camera to me, you said it was a completely different experience because they're used to, to be no one in the room with you ever because you were on the COVID season. That was so cool. So COVID season, it was tough all around.

One, because I felt like my partner hated me. He didn't. And no one in the ballroom. And he has actually since apologized to me. And he said he like had the best season with me. And I was like, that just made up for everything. But yeah, I didn't have anyone in the audience. They would like press a button for laughter when I said something funny.

And I'd be like, oh, no, not the laugh track. The laugh track, the clap track. And it was just such a different experience. experience. And it was all you knew. And we couldn't like hang out with the other people on the show. We had like boxes and you had to stay this far away. And then I did actually get to dance when they announced me to go on tour. I got to dance on Janet Jackson night with a, but it was 15 seconds and whatever. This I, yeah, it just, I'm like, I'm so lucky. Yeah, because now the place is full of life and energy again and you didn't have that. It makes such a difference with an audience in there. I do think you need a repeat full on season. I mean, I tell you the amount of times. I mean I probably won't invite me back because of how much I annoy her to do an all-star season. But then I worry about myself. They invited you to do this. You know what I mean?

Like only six people got to come back and dance again. Yeah. That's so true. So I feel like you're top of the list. Imagine my stress levels, my HRV going back into a season. What's HRV? I forget. It's like heart.

Oh, heart rate. Variant. I don't know. It's when you're stressed. Velocity. Yeah. Velocity. Yeah.

But it's, I would just be so stressed because I'm so competitive and I'd want to be there for the whole time. Oh, anyways. Well, it hasn't happened yet. So let's not get stressed. I'm posting one more thing on my social about dancing with stars and then I'm going to be done. But look how good this is.

Until the, until one year later, you'll be like, this time last year. Actually, I lie. I'm going back to L.A. in two days to go to the Dancing with the Star Show and go on Joey's podcast, which is so funny. I remember reaching out to like people at ABC and like the head of Hulu. And I said, you guys should do an official podcast for. after the show where somebody comes like immediately comes off the show and I'll be there to interview them and they're like what a great idea joey joey you in and i was like got it

it's like sure sure okay look at this this will be my last no one sorry i can talk about it as much as i want yeah you can talk about it oh yes that moment oh ah ah I'm obsessed. Good, right? I'm obsessed. I did that last night when you went to bed on me. I was like, I'm tired. So last night, Bree and I went to this.

It was so cool. Classroom champions. Classroom champions. And it's this annual event we go to that is a fundraiser for kids in schools that need resources and funds. And but also mentors, mentorship. Yes. And a lot of athletes like Olympians. and pro athletes come, and they give this program to these schools for kids who just know that,

not even to be an athlete, but just to know that more is possible. Yes. And I loved how they talked about, remember they said to fail forward? Fail forward. They were talking about like persevering and failing and it's okay and learning lessons and like growth from that. I was like, this is cool. Yeah.

And so every year they do this fundraiser where we get a full-on concert. of bowl on like a two-hour rock show. Country music rock show. It was amazing. So Roadhammers were the headliners. Yeah. And then they brought out these special guests.

For Canadians, we know who these people are. I'm not sure they're known worldwide, but they should be. No. When we saw Morgan Clybert. Yeah. I know. I don't really. I just saw it spelled out.

Morgan was actually unbelievable. And we were like, you should be headlining stadiums in Nashville. Yes. You are so good. She, at her stage presence. Michelle Wright. We were obsessed with Michelle Wright. Michelle Wright is a queen. Yeah. And then the lead singer of Big Sugar was there, which is like a huge Canadian icon. And then Barney Bentall, who I love. He's like a folk singer. I love him. Bree, don't just say you love him. You have an old man

crush on him. And at first I did not get it, but then I got it. And somebody Google Barney Bentall like back in the day. He had Steeze for days. Steets. Swags. Swag for days. He's got a cute little stage presence. I get it. Yeah.

Kind of. But it was such a fun night, but we got home. And I was so determined to play cribbage with Bree because she beats me every single time. It's a very Canadian British game. But I teach it to everyone I know. And Bree taught it to me. Did you teach it to you? No, my stepdad taught it to me.

But you're the one that I always play with. And I was sitting there with the crib board out. And then I always, be you chill. I was sitting there with the crib board. And I fell a sleeve with all my clothes on. And Nick was like waiting to make us a cocktail to play cribbage. Oh, no, he was. Yeah, we were sitting there talking.

Then I went, wait, where's Bree? And he goes, I think she went to bed. And then you text me and you're like, oops. And I had to get up and wash my face. You text me. You're like, oops, I fell asleep. And then I went, you know what? It's past midnight.

This is probably a good time to shut her down. Yeah, we'll do a rematch. Tomorrow and the next day. I'm not leaving. I'm not fucking leaving until I guess you're not. You're not leaving. I will. I've beat you like once out of like 30 games. Did you just make that up? No. I remember it was a big day for me. Was it? Yeah. Was it a dream? It was no. It was it was not a dream. I will never forget because I did pinch myself after to make sure. And I love, love playing crib with Rob, your step down. Who also can't beat me. No. Remember when everybody knows that he's been diagnosed with stage four cancer. And I was like, Rob, I'm just like, I love you so much. And he was like, it's the crib game. of my life and I'm going to win.

He's going to win. He is going to win. Nope, I got to move on. Moving on. We were laughing about, look at me. I'm like, and we were laughing? We were laughing. Push down the feeling.

We were laughing. No, but what were we going to do? Oh, we were talking about being in Canada. I sound Canadian when I'm here. I just said about. Good. What did you say? About.

About. About. We should go off on Canadianism. Let's do Canadianism. because some of them are so funny. The funniest one to me, which we'll still say again, but is the fact that Americans... Sorry, what's your name again?

Jay, how would you say the word B-O-O-O-G-E-R? Yeah, like if you're picking your nose and you get a... Bougar? Oh, are you American? Are you American? No, no. He said booger. He said booger.

And we say booger. Yeah, Canadians say booger. I actually just say boogie. Got some boogies. Put a little boogie in it? Bat in the cave. Bat in the cave. That's international.

Did we write down these? I did. Okay. Okay, okay. Yeah, let's get the list out. I'm going to say, you say how the Canadians say it, and I'm going to tell you how the Americans say it. Okay, and also, let's just not paint everybody with one brush because Canada is a giant

country. There's different regions, dialects. We're just talking about our own experience growing up in Alberta. Yes. And more specifically, Leduc, because maybe someone in Calgary wouldn't say it the same way Clearly, Jay over here. Yeah, exactly. It's someone who grew up in Lerduke.

Okay, so let's start with lava. Yeah, I would say lava. American say lava, but a lot of Canadians say... Lava. Lava. I bet my... I'm going to ask my sister. Like a name.

Oh, yeah. Hey, Siri, send me a voice note of how you say lava. I just said lava. Oh my God, maybe I say lava. You do? You think you don't and you do? I was like a lava. What?

Like, if you were going to say hot lava, you would. say like hot lava no i would no hot lava what about like a lava cake i'm i'm tired of saying that word okay avocado wait you're saying it like americans well you say avocado i you wouldn't catch me saying avocado jay how do you say that word lava no we're moving on to avocado yeah say it again avocado oh avocado you're avocado avocado you're ruining our theories over here okay well this one this one's because I don't even know how I say it sometimes. When everyone says D-A-T-A, I go, I think it's interchangeable. I don't actually know if I say data or data.

And I do think this is one of the ones where both is correct. Yes. I think I say data. Like I've had to read it. Like my data plan. I've had to read it for like some podcast ads and I think I say it differently every time. Yeah, because you overthink it. Yeah.

But then I'm also like, but it kind of sounds like mama data. You know what I mean? Like data. Data. Data. Data. That reminds me also mobile mobile. Oh, yeah.

And that one I don't actually know what I say either. So I say mobile, T-Mobile. Oh, right, because, right, because that's what plan I'm with. That's a plan that you could have. Gives me free Wi-Fi on Delta flights. And there's also a stadium called T-Mobile Stadium. And my kids are like, T-Mobile Stadium. And I'm like, I think it's pronounced mobile.

They're like, no, it's not. They also call it Trappicana. Tropicana. Wait, what does Seb also calls margarine, margarina? He just says that as a joke. He's like, Margarini. Margarini. Marjoraini.

Okay. This one's also very Canadian to say Mazda. Oh, Mazda. Mazda. Well, even in the commercials, they call it Mazda. Really? Yeah, there's this one where they say, we've been Mazda owners since 2011.

We're getting like fired up. I'm like angry. Okay. These two, I'm very set on, this is the correct way to say. Coupon, not coupon. Oh, coupon? That's like Tuesday. Some people say coupon.

Coupon? No hate. And I would say Deccle. And I know that just made everyone like, like blow their tops. They really freak their freak when people say Deccle instead of decal. They're trying to make it sound fancy. Decal sounds like you said it wrong. You said decal.

Mario. I mean, I guess if your name's Mario, you can, Nick has a cousin Mario. So it's like you don't, you call him Mario. But then I said, well, how do you say Mario? And he? Are you friends? Yeah. Mario.

And then say his full name. Mario Lemieux. Yeah. Lemieux. Okay. Thank you. Merci. Ah, merci.

Mario. Just to be clear, his cousin's not Mario Lemieux. That's like, that's the player if you grew up French in Canada. Mario Lemieux. Number 77, wasn't he? He wasn't 6'7? No, you're around my kids all week, so there's a lot of 6'7 happening. Caramel.

Do you have balls? Caramel bars? No. So I think that's because we grew up with caramel milk bars. How do they get the caramel in the caramel bars? They didn't say, how do you get the caramel in the caramel bowls? Why am I saying balls? Why are balls on your brain? I don't know. Carmel.

Malley caramel. Okay, you guys, hear me out. Thanksgiving is not. about the turkey and the pie. I know that's crazy, but it's also about the Macy's Parade of Deals. Yes, a whole parade of deals. And honestly, I live for a sale. And every day from now until Thanksgiving, there is going to be a brand new daily deal that drops. Now, I grew up watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, even though it wasn't our Thanksgiving in Canada, we still watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. It was like a tradition that we did our whole lives. But this,

a parade of deals? This is like my grown-up thursday. drill ride. From a Dyson vacuum that makes cleaning feel like a luxury to a ninja blender for all my little kitchen experiments, to a classic ugg throw to put on myself, well, maybe I'm watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

maybe quick work call. And while I'm on that work call, you know what I'm doing? I'm ignoring them and I'm checking the Macy's deals. And missing one is just not an option because they're literally only for one day. So trust me, if you want a little thrill, a little trick or treat yourself. You know what I'm saying?

Oh. Close. Oh, root. Route 60. Route 60. Route 60. Yeah. I do.

Oh, process and process. Yeah. I also think you say process. I think it's interchangeable. Like if I have to process, like it's say I get some news. I've got a process. But I think if it's like the method of doing something is like follow the process. Funny.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I used to say, again, I used to say I've been in America for 10 years now. And I feel like I have. You pick up, but you pick up. I've definitely picked up. I say y'all now. I actually love y'all.

I love y'all. I will always defend y'all because it's inclusive. Yes. I hate saying you guys and I hate saying like when you want to say like plural you guys and then people say you guys is. I'm like, ah, what's your guys's phone number? You know what I mean? Like I hate that. It's like what's y'all and y'all's is the best.

I love. I know. And every time I go see you, I come back and I start saying y'all more. I love y'all. And people are like, oh, what are you? Do you live in America? That's like when people go to London for like two weeks and they come back with an accent. And they're like, I reckon.

Actually, I love I love all British speak. I think we should also incorporate that more. I reckon we should. Yeah, I do like reckon. I'm obsessed. And I love how people call everyone their mate. Like that's nice. Yeah, hey me.

I like all the nice things. Like y'all mate. Yeah. Okay. And what do we call what's on my fingernails? Oh, um, Nanners. Yeah. Nanners.

Yeah. That's very Canadian. So Canadian. Uh, what do we call? call it when we were like, uh-chu. Sneezers. Yeah, that's a big sneezers. Big sneezer.

All Canadians know that. What's on the floor that you would put your feet into? Foot inserts? The foot inserts. Yeah. That's a nice pair of foot inserts. All Canadians know these. Wait, speaking of nice things that people say, and we don't say this, but this is one

thing we should adopt. I did say it growing up? You said it growing up? Yes. Did you have a lot of Saskatchewan influence? No, that's what my mom called it, though. Oh, I think it's the cutest thing and I think more people should be like Saskatchewanites and say for a sweater or a hoodie a bunny hug it's so cute it's so

wait that's to say took beanie a beanie it's a teak it i call it a beanie now but that's because nobody you'll marry what's a took it's french yeah and like bella calava people call that a ski mask but you said it wrong what you said bella calava what is it bella clava belliclava belliclava Bella clava. What? Okay. Okay. How do you say yes?

Oh, yeah, no, for sure. There's many ways to say yes. My sister says, oh, yeah, no for sure. And I'm like, is it yeah or no or for sure? Which one? If you end with for sure, it's a yes. If you say yeah, no. If you say yeah, no, it's a no.

But if you say, yeah, no for sure, yeah, that's a yes. That's so funny. Canadians are adorable. I love that part of us. Yeah. Adorable. Yeah, no for sure. Oh, yeah, no for sure.

Since 2010, they have helped over 1.8 billion vacation rental guests find places to stay. That's billion with a B. But here's the thing. Most vacation rental hosts don't even realize that they can list their properties on booking.com. And if you're not on the platform, your rental is basically invisible to millions of booking.com travelers worldwide. After all, they can't book what they can't see, right?

But once you start listing on booking.com, your property gets seen by a. massive global audience of unique travelers. That means more visibility, more bookings, and more opportunities to accelerate the growth of your rental business. And it couldn't be any easier. You can register your property in as little as 15 minutes and nearly half of hosts get their first booking within a week. So if your vacation rental isn't listed on booking.com, it could be invisible to millions of travelers searching the platform. Don't miss out on consistent bookings and global reach. Head over to bookings. com and start your listing today get seen get booked on booking.com have I ever talked about on my

He hasn't come to visit me in my dreams again. Ever since Haley and my dream said, you guys got to stop.

He hasn't come back. You can't help your dreams. I can't. It's my subconscious and in my dreams. And you've always thought you were going to be his friend. I just think we'd be great friends. You would be. But it did start to go romantic last week.

Well, since we're on the still the topic of Canada, I know we were saying like, oh, Americans are going to be yelling at us because

we don't know, like, the Route 66. They don't know anything about us. But I wonder if we know enough about us. We do. Well, I've got Canadian trivia. Oh, here we go. So I'm curious if we know. All right. I'm going to try and not read the answers. Right. Because, okay, the game is called so you think

Why would you want a Canadian? You're allowed to own 50 geese. Sorry, I just screwed up. They're actually not called a goose. Geese. No, but I said you're allowed to own a goose, but that's wrong. They just go by geese. It's not a Canadian goose.

It's always a Canadian geese. What? Maybe I just made that up. I don't think you can call it a goose. Hey, Siri. Can you call a Canadian geese a goose? Please say no. Oh my gosh.

I don't know. Canadian... What about a silly goose? Singular. You can call someone... Well, yeah, singular is a goose. but if there's a bunch of them together, is it not geese? Okay, no, I screwed that up.

Okay, good, I'm glad. I'm so embarrassed. Can we cut that all over? No. I love how you're like, only a Canadian would know, and I'm like, I'm going to know it all. And then I'm like, is it goose or geese? I don't know any of these. Okay.

Wait, how many can you own? 50! Okay, please don't do that if you live in Ontario. Yeah, that's, is anybody in Ontario watching this or listening, and do you own a goose? Please show yourself. Yeah. Show yourself. They're mean, Canadian.

I kind of might remember this because I remember having, I do still have a paper one dollar bill. I want to say, 1992. No, 87. Oh. You're close. I think you're going to know this one. Maybe that was the Toonie. What is the official national animal of Canada? Beaver. Yeah. Oh, my God. I almost said a moose. Oh, I would have, I probably would have to. Okay. In Canada, it's legal to challenge. someone to a duel. Did you know that? Oh my God. We should do that later. But which province specifically kept this law on the books until 2006? Quebec. Alberta. Oh, we would.

makes you want to vomit. Hey, Siri. Why do they say hair of the dog? The phrase comes from the ancient practice of treating a dog bite by applying the hair of the same canine to the wound, believing it would cure or soothe the bite. Well, I mean, I kind of like that idea. Yeah. Not as a hangover cure. Okay. Ready for the lightning round? Oh my God. Yes. You have to name Oh, God, I'm scared. Eight. Eight. Sate.

Also, another thing. Americans call it candy bars, not chocolate bars. I know. That's kind of cute, though. It is cute. But it's not candy. It's chocolate. Candy is like gummies.

Yeah, candy is like skittles and stuff. Okay, last round. Which province has this ridiculous law? Okay. First one, it's illegal to swear in a public park. British Columbia. Ontario. It should be illegal. There's kids around. But you swear all the time. I have the birth trucker mouth. I love a swear. Yeah. I'm just, I don't know. I don't think it's that

crazy of the law. Really? I think that's crazy. Okay. You can't paint a wooden ladder. That's so dumb. Like this isn't real Canadian facts. This is just silly little trivias. Well, I said it's ridiculous laws. Which? It's a law. So you can't paint a ladder in which province you're asking? Yeah. I don't know. Ontario again? No. British Columbia. Your first damn it. Okay.

I love Canada. I know. I just love it. Every time I come back, I land and I see the sign, like, welcome to Canada. And something just warm and fuzzy comes over my body. And it smells good. It does smell good. It's like mountainy, crisp, fresh air.

Fresh air. I was saying that when we were walking out of that concert hall last night. I was like, I love this weather. It's so chilly and brisk. It was so nice. I'm so over the humidity of Nashville. Humidity is tough. I mean, but you have been saying how dry you are.

You're like, can I? You're in a what? Sneezer! Should we confess now? Because people are going to be riled up. What are you talking about nanners and sneezers? If they've made it this far into the podcast, we were lying about nanners. The last three was just to throw y'all off.

Yes. I want to see what they were thinking. Like, I want to see the reaction. I'm from Canada and I don't call it Nanners. What do I call? Oh, I call bananas Nanners. The reason I said Nanners is because my niece used to say, Auntie, can you pay my nanners? Because she was trying to say fingers and nails together.

So she goes, can you pay bananas? I'm a nanners. And so I've been calling them nanners. I actually do call them nanner. That's actually so funny. Wait, we made up nanners, foot inserts, and sneezers. But we were saying that because after someone sneezes, we were saying, what do you say after someone sneezers? Some people say, bless you.

Some people say, gazoon tight. And some people say, sneezers. I just call it out, sneezers. I love saying gazoon tight. It's such a silly little word. I do love it, too. Yeah, gazoon tight. Anything like that.

So it just makes, it's whimsical. It's whimsical. I love whimsy stuff. I do. love whimsy stuff too. Well, I'm excited that I have a few more days here because I love being here. We're waiting on your passport. We're waiting on my passport. Everybody

wish me luck. Well, by the time this comes out, I'll have it. There's no luck to be had. It's on the way on Tuesday. Oh, then why the lady did this? Oh, she was just playing around. They're actually so nice at the They really were nice. Because she said, when do you need to buy? And you said Tuesday, or when you're flying Tuesday? So when do you need it by Monday? And then she went But I think she was just being cute. I think she was like,

I got you. Yeah, she was nice. Well, I get my. Passport. What day is it today? We should talk about your picture experience. Oh my gosh. Okay. The fact that you have to have that photo in your life for 10 years is a lot of pressure. Is a lot of pressure. But something we found out, which is absolutely banulars. Like, Nanners. It's so Nanners. You got your picture taken in LA and they said, what passport is it for? You said a Canadian passport. They said, no worries. We got you. Then you showed it to me and I said, we cannot submit this. They're going to turn you away for this picture. God forbid I had glassy, beautiful, shiny skin. Your skin was glowing,

but you can't have any glare. Yeah. And they didn't cut it out in too little, like in Canada, we cut it out in too little, it comes out in too little, like almost like a school photo that you gives to your friend. Yeah. And on the back of one of them, it has to be stamped with the date. It was taken. Yeah, he didn't do that. I guess in America, you can take your own picture and then you can edit it to look hot. And they'll accept it and put it on your ID. I wish. No. Actually, no, I want to look shitty one in my passport. My theory is you should look exactly how you would look if you were traveling. Which I always say, I look like a...

I don't like when you say that, though. It's funny. I don't actually look like a foot. Well, no, actually you said a toe. A big toe. I said a big toe. Well, so... But I actually didn't love the first photo anyways.

I was wearing too much makeup. Because you were going to dancing with a star. Yes. And I, like, had my hair slicked back. And it was just like... You did hate it. I didn't like it. And so we get...

You also hated the second one. I hate it even more. Oh, we had to do a run to... to shut out to London drugs because I just obsessed love the drugs. Which is basically a nicer CVS. Yeah. We went there and you said, are they even going to be open? I said, absolutely. And we went and we just walked right up to the counter and we said, passport photos please. And the guy was so nice. And then he did take your picture the first time. And he goes, oh, you are way too shiny. Too shiny. But what's funny is I had no makeup on. I had just traveled all day. I got to your house.

We had three glasses of wine. So we had to call an Uber to take us to London. Uber to take us there. And then that's how my photo got taken. And I saw it and I went, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? Also, that's exactly how you will look when you're traveling. It's my favorite because I'm such a needy little bitch. Like when I travel, everyone's always like, oh my God, your ID photo is so nice. And now they're going to be like, next. You know what? Someone said to me once. And so we were we were taking the train from London to Paris and we land in Paris. I love that train. Right. It's so fun. I know. I love. That's like one the best trips of my life. And we landed in Paris and my whole family speaks French

except for me because my husband's French and my kids speak French. And so I'm always like, what's going on guys? And they were, we were at the passport control. They were, you know, saying if you're in or out of the country. And I was nervous because I was coming up on 10 years of my passport. And so it just, like, I didn't feel like it looked like me anymore. When I took that picture, I was actually pregnant with my first kid. Like, I looked completely different. And I'm always worried someone's going to be like, that doesn't. look like you. Were they like, hey, did you just get your wisdom teeth out in that photo?
