Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:25 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.
Starting point is 00:00:58 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. Who's that with OTV? Who's that with OTV? Who's that with OTV? Podcast One presents off The Vine with Caitlin Bristol. Caitlin is creating a space where girls and gents can feel empowered to be themselves. Get ready for lots of laughs, tabby topics, on filtered advice, and wine.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Lots of wine. Get ready to shake things up. Here's Caitlin. Welcome to Off the Vine. I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow, and I'm back in Nashville. I wish we were podcasting from Hawaii. But still, I'm happy to be home. And, oh, my email just went off.
Starting point is 00:01:50 I should probably mute that. So being back in Nashville, I thought, I should have a cowboy on the show. Good intro Caitlin Not just any old cowboy What do they call you Beast Mode Cowboy What a nickname by the way Yeah
Starting point is 00:02:09 A lot of people think that I gave myself that name Self-proclaimed Beast Mode What kind of guy What kind of guy gives himself a name like that And I'm you know me I'm just like I You must have not watched the show Because I didn't
Starting point is 00:02:23 Right But you know The first competition come up and I ended up winning it and I won it with like a flying colors type of win. You know, I was laughing and goofing off while everyone else is really trying to win. And Derek, the guy who won, he actually gave me that name in the DR. And then from that day on, it just took off. It stuck. Yeah, people don't even know my real name.
Starting point is 00:02:48 They just call me by. Beast mode. Yeah, beast mode cowboy. So it's like the best nickname I've ever heard, but your real name. is Caleb. Yes. Reynolds. Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:59 That's how you say in the last time. This is, my girlfriend told me the other day, she goes, stop apologizing for butchering people's last names. Like, you can't know how to pronounce, but I'm like, because I just see everybody online all the time, or I just see it written. And then I always feel bad. She's like, stop apologizing, just go with it. So even if I said, Reynolds, would you?
Starting point is 00:03:16 That works. Okay. I know what you meant. Reynolds. Reynolds. There you go. I really wish I had a Southern accent. I just love it.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And your wife, Ashley. And new baby. Mila. Mila's here too. And she's an angel. An angel. We're just realizing that. We're talking about this.
Starting point is 00:03:34 And I'm like, we should turn on the mics and the system. Is that what we call it the system? Because we just had so much good baby talk. We're on a roll. I'm like, let's get this recording. Once you start, you can't stop. You can't stop. You can't stop.
Starting point is 00:03:49 And you have another daughter who's six, almost seven. Yeah, we're taking her to Disney for a surprise in March. Are you really? Yeah, we're actually. She doesn't listen to the podcast. Yeah. We're not going to laugh. We're going to guard it.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Yeah, your baby is doing my bursting ovaries. No favors, by the way. I'm dying. I'm dying over here. So people obviously would know you from Big Brother, Survivor, another episode of Season of Survivor. You're on two. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I was on 32, and then I had the heat stroke, so they flew me out and brought me home. Oh. I got Medevaced out, and then so they brought me back on pretty much like an all-star season, but they couldn't call it all-stars, so they called it Game Changers. Oh. So they brought me back on 34, so I got like one season off, and then I jumped right back on again. So, yeah, 32 and 34. Oh, so that's why you had to leave season 32 is because you got heat stroke.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Yes. And that was it, like you couldn't. No, I tried, like they had to bring the helicopter in. I had IVs all in me. I was unconscious for a long time, and they just couldn't get my heart rate and my body temperature down, so they had to kick me off. He just said secretly FaceTime me from the ICU in the hospital, and it was like all these little Cambodian nurses, and he's like, I don't even know what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:05:14 They're putting, you didn't even know the fluid they were putting in you. You're like, they're putting this orange fluid in me. Because I was unconscious. I had to take like a two-hour helicopter ride. I woke up once in the middle of that, and then they transferred me to a little small ambulance van. It was like an astro van here, like a soccer mom, like a little van. And I remember waking up and regaining consciousness there, and then I woke up, and it was all, like, little people with mask on speaking Cambodian. And I looked down and I had like an ivy here.
Starting point is 00:05:50 and then my other one was like orange and I was like no one knows English at all and I was freaked out so I started to try to pull this stuff out because I didn't know what it was and I figured that Survivor would have sent one of the doctors on the van with me
Starting point is 00:06:05 to be able to speak to me but you know that was one of the learning curves because they've never had that done on Survivor so the fact that that had happened now from that point on if it happens again they'll know to put one of the doctors on the van but you were just their little guinea pig yes it was really nuts oh my gosh that's wild yeah and
Starting point is 00:06:26 that sucks that that's how you had to go yeah well you know and that's why i feel like they brought me back again yeah um i think they've seen a lot of potential and they seen that i worked hard and yeah um a lot of people say that i was winning it for my tribe every challenge whatnot and uh i think they just seen that i was living up to that nickname from big brother and it was you know this dude's a beast and he's good at challenges he sacrifices himself and yeah you know I was that's what happened I sacrificed too much for that and then I ended up pushing my body too far now I won the challenge I didn't pass out till I won of course all worth salt and pepper by the way it wasn't even like an elimination challenge it was for salt and pepper oh but I like I didn't I don't separate the two
Starting point is 00:07:11 you know I see winning is winning and losing is losing so I wasn't thinking about salt and pepper I was thinking about winning. Right. So I just, my try ball kind of got to the point to where they couldn't push anymore. So I stepped it up even more. Ended up winning and it wasn't, I mean, I like, I rolled this ball and then I made the win. And I just like, you know, I did like one of them like, yes. And then it was like, things started getting blurry.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Yeah. And then it was like I was out. No. Yeah. Oh my goodness. I unfortunately did not watch Survivor or your season of Big Brother, which is weird because I watch every season. and that was like something was going on that I couldn't watch it. But that's so crazy to even just hear you talk about it
Starting point is 00:07:51 because, I mean, everybody that did watch will be like, what? Yeah. And that it was for Salt and Pepper. I love that. Yeah. There's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff, especially with Survivor that would blow your mind.
Starting point is 00:08:01 The people that watched it probably seen like, because when you're watching the challenges on TV, you just see the challenge in Jeff Probst. Right. But on that episode, you see hundreds of people come out of the woodworks. Yeah. And, like, you know, when you're in that challenge, you literally see hundreds of people. They're hiding in the woods.
Starting point is 00:08:21 There's cameras. There's thousands of cameras everywhere. And it's just like, you don't expect this because it doesn't look like that on TV. But it was really neat because on that episode, you see them all just, like, come out of everywhere. So I think that was one of the things, like, allowed people in behind of what Survivor really looks like. Yeah, no kidding. It went from just Jeff Probst to the players to hundreds of people everywhere. I think it really gave the audience an emotional attachment.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Of course. To Caleb. And then two, to like the production of Survivor. All of a sudden you just see a bunch of people and faces you've never seen before. Right. And Caleb's a, I look at Caleb as an all or nothing kind of guy, which is why his stroke does not surprise me. Yeah. He, like, in his marriage and his life and his friendships and his business ventures,
Starting point is 00:09:06 Caleb is like always giving it 110%. And so that scares me. He actually left recently to film another show. And that'll be airing later this year. And before he left, I was like, don't kill yourself. Yeah, because I was so afraid. Well, and that's so scary for you, too, because you don't have a way of a contact. Yeah, communicating.
Starting point is 00:09:28 You just have to sit and wait. Patiently. Very patiently. And because you don't have a phone. You don't have anything. Or do you? Well, on like Big Brother Survivor, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:40 But this one that I recently did, you know, I could have my phone. Oh, good. It was a 24-hour filming. Oh, okay. I couldn't take it with me on set. Right. Outside of that, you know, I would call her and I'd be like, hey, baby, you know, we won this. Or, hey, babe, I did this good.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Yeah. Oh, that's nice. You know, so she had kind of like an idea of how we were doing during this part of the show that we were doing. It was risky filming, which is why I said it. Right. Okay. Yeah, I'm like, oh, gosh, I want to tease it. Tease it to it.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Just a simple hint. It's like a show that no one wants to do. Oh. It's one of those type. It's like, I never do that. And I always said that too. Is it Fear Factor? It's just one of them shows you it never do.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Okay. I can't wait to watch it. I want to know everything, but I guess you have to save it. When does it, when does it err? I don't know. This year sometimes. This year sometime. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:31 How long was that filming? It's about, what, 55 days altogether, 60 days? That's a long time. Long enough to not talk to him. Yeah, no kidding. Unless he happened, which he never did. Yeah. Sneaked to a computer to shoot me an email.
Starting point is 00:10:44 You know, could you do that? Could you sneak to a computer? I mean, you could, but you could breach your contract. I'm sure if you could. I know all about breach and contracts. If Caleb could, he would. Really? Well, I just find that so hard because, I mean, it's Survivor, so it's, you really are just out in the middle of nowhere, right?
Starting point is 00:11:02 It really is the real deal. And that's, yeah, because I bet that's one of the main questions you get, like, I heard camera guys just eat McDonald's in front of you. Is that true? No. The cameramen are The only thing they do In front of you is drink water Yeah
Starting point is 00:11:16 A lot of them wear camelbacks Yeah And they just film but No food in front of you at all They're really not They can't even talk to you Really Unless you're about to bump into them or something
Starting point is 00:11:28 They'll say watch out or whatnot But you, it's That show is really crazy Because you feel like the cameras Are up in your face the whole time But after a little bit You forget they're there And you literally are in that process
Starting point is 00:11:40 of survivor you're surviving you know in the atmosphere that that you're in and you don't care about the cameras because you really are trying to survive yeah it does get to that point um no that makes sense because you were so used to not seen cameras in the big brother house right they're not in your face you're like if you go to a diary room it's a screen right yeah but that's just in the diary room everywhere else they're in every corner of the house but they're like small Are they? The only reason you really do is because they make like a transformer
Starting point is 00:12:11 noise. They're like when they're moving. But other than that, there literally is like 200 cameras in that house. They're in every corner. They're in the bathroom. Can't people see you through the walls you said? Didn't you say behind production one day? You went in a different season and he could
Starting point is 00:12:25 watch the players through the walls. That's what he said. Well, like that's where a lot of the cameramen are. They're behind the glass and they, you know, that's how they film like inside low stuff in the house. Like when you're looking in the mirror doing your eye shadow or whatnot, there's a camera right there on your face, but it looks like a mirror. That was like my biggest fear.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Okay, I have to talk about Celebrity Big Brother coming up. We'll talk about it in a second, but that would be one of my biggest fears is being in that mirror, and obviously people can watch you 24-7. And I'm like, what if I got like a random black hair that grew out of my chin that I wanted to pluck in front of it? Then they're going to screenshot it and post it all over social media. Exactly. I'm like, that is terrifying.
Starting point is 00:13:05 And, like, the fact that they have a camera in the bathroom? Yeah, that one... That seems highly illegal. Yeah, well, that... A little invasive. A little invasive. That camera actually was... It was a blessing that it was there because on my season, Victoria, passed out in the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Oh. She had, like, a glass of wine, and she took, like, a thousand milligrams of Advil. She had a massive headache. Well, they gave her to Advil, and then she had a glass of wine. Well, she was sitting on the toilet, and she looked. literally fell over off the toilet. So she was in there for a certain period of time. Well, they came over the intercom and they were like, hey, you know, Nicole,
Starting point is 00:13:44 because she was, I guess, one of the only few girls left in the house. And she was a nurse. Yeah. So she was like, well, you go check on Nicole. Well, she was like, you know, banging on the door. She's like, Victoria, you're okay? Well, all she heard was like heavy breathing. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:13:56 So she opened the door and Victoria was just laying on the ground next to the toilet and she passed out from that. Oh. That's really the only reason they have it there. Now, if two people go in there together, they will turn it on. And they told us that. Oh, okay. Yeah, because more, they want to catch everything that they can for the show. Right, because they could be like planning something.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Yeah. Yeah. That is so wild. God, I love Big Brother. Would you ever do Big Brother? Yeah, I would. I think he would. I think he'd be good at it.
Starting point is 00:14:27 I'm like, okay, let's talk about the celebrity cast that they picked. I really thought there was a small chance that they could ask me, but I was like, depending on what, like, what they consider a celebrity, because I'm like, if Jennifer Anderson's going on, like, obviously they're not going to put Caitlin Bristow in the same category. But then I'm like, I'm looking at the cast and I'm like, I thought, I thought the same thing. Like, when you think of celebrity, like, there's two ways of looking at it. When I think of celebrity, I think of celebrity, Justin Bieber, Will Smith, Will Ferrell, you know, that's what I think of celebrity. Same. But then again, you also say, these people that are that big and
Starting point is 00:15:04 famous. They don't need to. They're not going to go be locked in a house and have everything being watched. Well, they can't afford 30 days for only 200,000. Yeah, exactly. First of all, when I say only 200,000, I mean for them, for like a Jennifer Anderson. Correct. For their budget and their lifestyle, $200,000 is not. Justin Bieber would never say yes to Big Brother. Right. It doesn't matter if they said, we'll pay you a million. He's going to say that would be a waste of my time. Absolutely. So then you look at, then you look at the lower scale of. end quote celebrity you know what is celebrity you look it up and it just means that you are known you're well known that's what a celebrity means yes so then you can think of the big reality
Starting point is 00:15:46 hit stars that have you know jersey shore people to me that's the type of people i thought you would see like uh big characters to friend from them like maybe even someone from swamp people you know because or maybe duck dynasty yeah those are like that i mean heck they're actually celebrities too they're above everyone that's in there now as far as i don't even know some of these names like and i don't mean to be rude but like like like okay mark mcgrath is like the only one that i know because he's saying that song like i just want to fly put your arms around me baby yeah you sing that yeah well what else did he do i don't know Caleb can make a beat and you can sing it oh go if you count if you count to three he'll do it one two three go you want to do it okay
Starting point is 00:16:29 I got to think You start singing and he'll do it I just want to fly Put your arms around me baby Put your arms around me baby Oh my god that was fun That's the only lyrics I know though So I just kept going
Starting point is 00:16:47 You actually like really laughed and really smiled That was fun That was really fun You always got to count a three with him And then he'll do it Yeah it's the weirdest thing If you say one two three go What about three to one?
Starting point is 00:16:57 We haven't never tried it Oh three two one go oh doesn't work as well it was like reverse yeah dang didn't work that's like on um Austin powers when Will Ferrell has to be asked a question
Starting point is 00:17:12 three times he's like they ask him for the third time he answers they're like well that was easy he's like I can't stand to be asked a question three times and then they ask him and he's like damn three times that's like you with one two three yes the one two three goes always worked for him I mean for years I've had
Starting point is 00:17:28 to do it for years that's so funny yeah one two three i wish i had a trick like that with sean yeah just try one two three go is it competitive oh yeah it's like a race one two three go oh that's it's it's actually a really no he would be like i see what you're doing the trickery you don't have that power yeah exactly the one two three came from like like if we're literally laying in bed and it's just quiet out of the clear blue she'll be like one two three go and she wants me to ask her a question as fast as you can Oh, I like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:59 So if it's like just super quiet, all of a sudden you hear one, two, three, go. And I'm like, dadgum it. You know, it takes me minutes to think of a question. And you're like, and I have to because she said go. Wait, yeah, she said go. Ask Caitlin question. One, two, three, go. What's your favorite part about filming, the Bachelorette?
Starting point is 00:18:16 Oh. My favorite part about filming. Yeah. Basically that I could just ask for whatever I wanted and could get it. Really? Yeah. I like that. Like, I would be like, um, can you order me this hair?
Starting point is 00:18:28 product from online and I'm running low and while you're at it order me my favorite sushi and they'll be like okay we're on it you got it yeah they loved it was like a mission yeah Caleb would have been great for that I was like okay one two three go yeah yeah he would have loved that yeah you should be a producer no you don't you have too big of a heart to be a producer yeah no I don't yeah I don't I don't know how I would do behind the cameras I just like not like a pat on the back. I think I'm too much of a personality
Starting point is 00:19:00 to just sit there and hold a camera and look at people. I have to be in front of it like doing something and the same way. You know, being the personality.
Starting point is 00:19:07 I want to enter... Like when the guy had recently called and wanted me to do the male dancing thing, the first thing I thought of what he was like, you know how to be choreographed?
Starting point is 00:19:16 Like Yellow Wolf is involved which is a big rapper. There's like crazy costumes that are being custom built. I literally thought of like stomped the yard. You know where all these people People get in like a group and they all do these choreograph dances.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And I was like, because I love to dance. I dance all the time. Wait, nobody knows what you're talking about. Can you say that on the podcast? What you got asked to do? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:38 So I was basically asked, there's a new male club opening up here. But it's like, sort of like Caudy Ugly. Yeah. It's a bar. There's beer everywhere and then there's a stage. Beer everywhere. Yeah. Basically, there's a bar.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Basically, it's a big stage. and they have a certain number of male dancers coming in that are, he asked, like, he wanted fit, obviously, men to come in and learn choreographed dances and perform. Yeah. Nobody wants to see a man cut like a bag of milk on stage. Yeah, right, exactly. So, but basically it's sort of like coyote ugly, you know, but like the women can't tip you, they can't touch you. they're not allowed to come on the stage you can't get off the stage so it's literally like like he explained it to us as um magic mike meets disney which is a very rare combo yeah like i see more on combo like i don't see anything yeah so like when i first started thinking about it i was just like you know obviously i'm looking at her and she's just like i'm just going to
Starting point is 00:20:44 see what you do well this is my thing if i if i ever tell him no which i've never told him no to do anything it's just going to make him want to do it more so true and then if i hold him back what kind of individuality is that giving him yeah so i'm just like i'm just going to sit here and let you make your own decision because i felt like that was the right thing to do i'm not i'm i would have looked at sean well you know i would have looked at shan i'm like you are out of your mind if you think you're going to do well on your soul and the answer is no but i literally took a step back and I said would I like to see my wife in
Starting point is 00:21:20 lingerie dancing for a bunch of men for some money? It don't matter if you dim it down to Disney or Barney or Snoopy. That's kind of where I jumped back to and I was like, would I want my wife doing something like that? And obviously not. Right. So I didn't even
Starting point is 00:21:37 talk to her about it. I messaged a dude and I said, man, thank you for the opportunity but this isn't my image. It's not who I am. I do have moral I have standards, and I feel like that is outside of who I am. And again, I have an audience to influence. You know, I have a lot of young kids that follow me.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Yeah. A lot of them look up to me. You know, I meet a new young kid every day. Yeah. And I get to talk to them about values and morals and standards and stuff. So I felt like if I just dimmed it down just for a couple hundred bucks, I felt like I had just been lying to these kids for a long time. That makes sense. Cool opportunity, but take a point.
Starting point is 00:22:17 pass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe next time. If he wanted, he could practice at home, I guess. Yeah, that wouldn't make you mad. No, no, absolutely not. You can get down into your boxers at home. I can make him costumes that I felt were tasteful.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Yeah. And he could magic mic his way all the way. And your papers could, like that you're putting in his banana hammock could be like IOUs. They could be, yeah. And I could start off every dance with one, two, three, go. Yeah, exactly. And then he would have to do it. He would have to.
Starting point is 00:22:45 That's funny. Okay, so it's that time of year again, Valentine's Day, and when it's awesome to spend the day with someone you adore, the planning part can be very stressful, and that includes the stress that I usually have when I'm wandering the wine aisles.

You take it away. So we were in the delivery room.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Yes. And like, blood and guts and none of that stuff bother me at all. Like, you know, when I was in the Army and I was deployed, I had to give IVs before. I've had to do, you know, a few things overseas as far as medical that I would probably never do again. Right. But that stuff doesn't bother me. Like I've had to give myself an IV before, and it's, you know, it's just easy to me.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Well, so if we get in there, she gets her IV, and as the doctor's, like, putting her IV in, and I'm literally going through the steps of school, like back then. Oh, we're talking about the IV now. Yes. Oh, okay. So when she's getting it, I'm just like, all right, it goes in, a bevel up, it goes down 10 degrees. she pushes back in we're waiting for the flask and i'm i'm saying all this stuff right well then you know the ivy's in and we're good it's taped up we're done well then it comes to getting the
Starting point is 00:24:51 epidural yeah and a lot of people have this vision of an epidural being like a two foot long needle yes and you know it's as big as your thumb yeah and all these women just think all these horrible things about epidural so i'm standing behind the doctor and on the thing and i see the needle and i see all the stuff you're in front of the doctor you're in front of me my back I know, but I'm talking about first. I was behind you guys, and then I seen the needle, and I was like, oh, that's nothing. Yeah. It's literally like four inches.
Starting point is 00:25:20 It's not like you would think you hear about forever. So I ended up going in front. So I go stand by the window, and she's kind of just leaning up. And the nurse had walked over to her, and she was going to, you know, trying to talk her through it. You know, she's the nurse that had been with her through the whole pregnancy. And so Ashley made her. makes a comment, like a little jab at me, and she goes, oh, wow, thanks, Hillary. You would think that my husband would want to come over here and hold my hand during this
Starting point is 00:25:50 epidural. So I was just finally like, fine. Okay, I will. So I went over there and I held her hand. Actually, I held both of them. And the doctor was like, all right, you know, bend your back like an angry cat. So she like, she like. What a description. So she tuck your chin. So she tucks her She bends her back over, and he's like, all right, well, you're going to feel a little burn. And we know it before they put the epidural in, because he was talking about. So he goes to put this epidural in, and, like, I guess he started to put it in. Well, she made, like, she squeezed my hand so hard. I thought she was going to break it.
Starting point is 00:26:27 And then she made, like, this, you know, a painful noise. And out of the clear blue, like, I started getting dizzy, and I'm like, I'm sorry. I got to sit down. I've got to sit down. So I went over to the chair and I sat down. It wasn't two seconds. It felt like two seconds later. I wake up and I was like, whoa, what happened? I passed out. No. Completely. I completely. No. I completely passed out. They had to bring. Beast mode cowboy passed out from a neat, watching a needle. Yeah, but I didn't even watch it though. I was in the front of me. I was in the front. Yeah. So long story short, I woke up and I was like, what happened? And they were like, you literally passed out. And the biggest part of the
Starting point is 00:27:12 confession is, is I looked down and I literally peed all over myself. So there's like pee all over the floor. I look down and I've like, the whole front of my pants is soaking wet. I'm passed out. I've got sweat dripping off my chin. And I'm like, my wife's over here with a needle in her back. And I'm over here looking like a friggin' I've done peed on myself. I've done passed out. I got doctors cracking stuff under my nose to wake me up. I've got my wife over there saying, help him, help him. I thought he was having a seizure. He woke up and I was like, oh, you love me.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Because that's what I said. Yeah. I said, you love me. I literally, I was just like, I cannot believe this just happened. Oh, my God. It was really funny. I not only passed out, but during the process, I peed on myself. This is a great confession.
Starting point is 00:28:01 And it's so funny because your image is like you are this tough guy, you know. You've served in the mill. military. You were big brother. You were the beast mode. You go to Survivor. And then you beat your dog. The doctors said it's so common for husbands and significant others to pass out with the epidural. I had to ask. It said it's all emotional. I had to ask. I was like, look, I don't ever do. Like, what happened? Because I was literally like eyeballs in on the IV watching every second and it didn't bother me. Right. And I said, so what was so different? And they literally said it was your emotional attachment. She was. in pain and it's you sweet yeah that's why I said you love me yeah they said this shit they said it happens to it they normally make the husband leave the room because of it just watch when that time comes Sean won't faint and I'll be like you hate me this is it's alive this is never gonna work your name's not going on the certificate I will hang on to that just so you guys no I'm telling you it was it was make sure he sits oh my gosh so then I even the doctors
Starting point is 00:29:04 made me sit down when she was like actually pushing the baby out of the They were like, he needs to sit down for this. Get him a juice. Yeah, like sit him down. Get him some orange juice. I actually made him leave the hospital so he could get some fresh air. But he said his anxiety was so high. He's never had anxiety.
Starting point is 00:29:18 He said he couldn't eat. He couldn't think. It was bad. Well, because it's, I mean, got to be a scary feeling seeing somebody you care about in that amount of pain. Well, and exactly. Because I was like, what happened? She got a needle putting her back. I passed down pito myself.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Maybe you should be. smote, Ashley. Like, she's supposed to be the one like peeing on herself and passing out. I was the one laughing. I feel like Caleb has a new respect for women. Like the other day, he was like,
Starting point is 00:29:46 moms are so awesome. Yeah. I was like, women are, women are pretty legit. They're fierce. Like, I went on my Instagram. Now realizing how, like, how awesome the women species is.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Because you don't really realize it until you're in it. Yeah. True. Like my mom, I grew up, my mom was a single mom of four boys. And I don't, After having the baby now and, like, Kylie, we've got two great Danes in the house and a little cat.
Starting point is 00:30:13 She left just for like two or three hours. Yeah. Two hours maybe at most. And I was so mind-boggled the whole time. Yeah. Like, I had a baby crying. I got to feed and change diapers. I got Kylie downstairs at six that's wanting Looney Tunes on TV.
Starting point is 00:30:29 And I've got dogs barking and griping because they're hungry and wanting water. I've got the cat meowing at me because he's hungry. And I'm like, I can't do all of this at one time. Like, how do these moms do it? I don't know how single moms do it. I don't know. You just do. So I literally had to go on my Instagram and I was like, listen, to all of you moms,
Starting point is 00:30:47 kudos to you. Especially ones that have three and four and dogs and cats and a filthy house. Moms are heroes. They are. Yes. But you always become one when you are a mom. I mean, not all moms, but the mass majority of the population that cares about humanity it's true all my friends my best friends all have kids and babies and my sister has two
Starting point is 00:31:11 kids and i just see like i'll never know what it actually takes until i'm in it but i see what what it takes emotionally and physically and everything in you to be a mom and that you just you know you don't get a day off no you don't come i think it just happens like i don't know how to explain it how many children do you want i would love to have three sean really He really wants to have five or six, but I know for a fact that we're going to have one, and he's going to be like, I'm going to reconsider. Yeah. Because I love the idea of six.
Starting point is 00:31:44 God, I love the idea of having, like, this huge family. That's me. Yeah. Three to me seems ideal. Yeah. I guarantee we'll have two. You'll have three. You think so?
Starting point is 00:31:54 Yeah. I think you'll have three and you just might have space between one of them. But I'm no spring chicken. But I'm no spring. It doesn't matter. I do have my eggs frozen, though. But, yeah. So I guess I can.
Starting point is 00:32:04 could but like I I'm 32 I would love to have kids in the next two years yeah that'd be great so if I'm gonna have three that's gonna happen quick that's how we are we want to have another one yeah you know and then another one after that yeah you do yeah I think so well we discussed that because I would like a boy I think she would like a boy too we've got one of each we've got we've got we've got we've got Kylie now now we've got Mela so we've got two girls and we just kind of talked about it and if we had the boy I think I would be happy because we've had one of each and then we've got Kylie and we're going to wait and...
Starting point is 00:32:37 Talk about it. You know, give it a few years if we just decide, hey, let's just have another one for some unknown reason. Then we will. If you feel like. Then we would.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Yeah. Yeah. We're not going to get fixed right away. We feel like that's an emotional decision but we feel like if we waited and see where time took us and our circumstance at that time, life is so ever changing,
Starting point is 00:32:57 then we would be in more of a sound place of mind to go, okay, do we want one more? Do we not? Yeah. You know, right now we know we definitely want one more. We don't care what situation. we're in we're going to make it work we want we want to have one more for our family and knowing my luck it'll be another girl because my mom had four boys yes and uh and you would automatically
Starting point is 00:33:15 assume that you're gonna it's gonna be boys and my one of my older brothers had two boys yeah so we're just like uh and then he just recently had his first girl yeah so it's and then my first one was a girl and my mom always told me that she said you'll be the one that has the first girl she thought I thought I was a girl. Yeah, I even had a girl name picked out and everything. Really? Do you want to know what it is? His girl name?
Starting point is 00:33:39 Nikita. Oh. Yeah. It's hot. Oh, Nikita is hot. Yeah. So, I mean, it would have literally been perfect for my new stripper that I was going to become. Yeah, that would have, that was perfect.
Starting point is 00:33:49 My mom thought I was going to be a boy, and my name was going to be Landon Bruce. Landon Bruce. Wow. Landon Bruce Bristow. Landon Bruce. It would have been a whole other life for that one. Yeah. The chances of that guy being the bad.
Starting point is 00:34:02 That's funny. Landon Bruce. Yeah, I don't know. That's, I love just the idea of family. And then it's like, I always think about the women who can't have babies and I just want to like give them mine. Yeah. I know what you mean. I would like the idea of carrying a baby for them. Being a surrogate. Yeah, I've offered to be a surrogate to someone I love very much. Yeah, I have. Because it's still theirs, you know. Yeah. Financially affording a surrogate can be super expensive. but if you could do it, you know, I know what joy my kids bring me. I mean, I definitely, you know, offered to do it. Yeah. Yeah. Wow, good for you. But right now I'm not breastfeeding, but I'm pumping and giving my breast milk to a foster child. Are you really?
Starting point is 00:34:48 Yeah. Oh, that's so nice. Yeah. Oh, I hope that you do that. Wow. Yeah, my brother just recently adopted three kids, two girls and a boy. and they were all like in the process of being split up into different homes and stuff and then I think he looked back and seen because it happened to us we weren't foster care but when my parents divorced we got split up like two of us went with my dad to Texas the other two stayed with mom so you know we we grew up in a broken family so when he's seeing this about to happen he was only going to take one and then they were like well you know this one has two sisters too well then they ended up taking all three so now overnight my brother got a three-month-old baby well that little baby has been like on formula ever since she was born yeah every time she eats the
Starting point is 00:35:37 formula she just throws it all up everywhere so actually's like look try my breast milk so she's been doing like extra pumping and extra everything and they've been giving it to this baby so i'm feeding mila and i'm feeding this baby yeah and then there's a place in clarksville tennessee that there's moms that's been asking and asking and asking they ask you know people around that if you can produce would you mind donating some so i think ashley's that before the baby came along so but now this baby's here i'm just focused on trying to keep storing and pumping enough for the both of them incredible and even that your body is able to do that like it's amazing yeah moms are awesome moms are awesome that was one thing i learned while freezing my eggs i was like
Starting point is 00:36:16 i need to be less focused on what my body looks like and more focused on like the possibilities of what it can do it was wild so whitney who is one of my good girlfriends who is on um the bachelor with me she is a fertility nurse and so she helped me through every step because i'd have to inject myself with certain i don't want to use any wrong terms so i'm just going to say stuff yeah you know and and it's medicine yeah and i'd have to do that twice a day put a needle in my stomach and then um i went to chicago and you get ultrasounds and actually your body is so so fertile at one point that you actually your blood work says that you're pregnant because you're about to go in and take out all these eggs that are, like, ready.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Right. And so, it's amazing. Yeah, it was really cool. And it's always scary, too, because you go in and you don't know how many eggs they're going to get. And if you get over 10, then that's really good. And depending on your age and everything like that. And so I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:37:14 They could have been, like, actually, you can't have children. Like, it was scary. But I actually did. I ended up getting, like, I think 18. I got 18 good ones. Wow. And so they're freezing right now with Whitney. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Yeah, it's crazy. That's great. That's a blessing. In fact, how ideal is that? Well, yeah, and I signed a contract, like, what I would want to do with them if I didn't end up using them. And I did, like, say that I would be willing to donate, do anything like that just because I do think it's, like, I'm so lucky to be able to have that. And some people aren't. And so people were actually on my ass about freezing my eggs.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Really? Yeah, people were like, I don't know, you know, like saying, like, that it was rude that I was talking about it because some people can't get pregnant. And I'm like, I actually want to be able to help people if I don't use them. And like, I'm, you know how people are online. I mean, but you can be sensitive to that, but that's still ultimately not your burden to carry. Yeah, exactly. Like the burden of blame or the burden of judgment shouldn't be on your shoulders because of someone else's own individual unique circumstance. You know, you can only do so much that you can to help someone else.
Starting point is 00:38:17 And it never should be a burden to you. Or you're not to blame. You're not the creator of all things. Exactly. And I am sensitive to other people's, like, the things that they're going through. But it's like I can't, yeah, if I put everything on myself of what people tell me online, I'd be. Oh, yeah. I'm the same.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I'd be toast. So like I said earlier, Valentine's Day is coming up in the next week. So it's time to get extra romantic.

Starting point is 00:40:24 You're listening to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. You're so involved in fitness, and I feel like that alone, women will come after, like, a beautiful woman who's in shape and takes care of herself. Do you deal with a lot of people that are just trying to bring you down? Yes. But you know where it all comes from. I stayed very small. People were like, your daughter's going to, you know, have mental disorders, and she's going to be this and she's going to be that. Are you even pregnant?
Starting point is 00:40:51 And, like, my social media has grown tremendously since my pregnancy, but, I mean, I'm, I'm not. I was like, wow, like all these hateful people. One woman said, I wish that Caleb could experience pregnancy with a woman who got bigger. And, like, I hurt my feelings. Like, I felt like, you know, we're trying to promote self-love, and I can't help the way that my body is or the way that I am. Just like any other woman couldn't really help the way that her body is. I love fitness. Some people don't, and therefore we have different bodies.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Yeah. That it's not the, it's just my passion. Yeah. And I was hoping that when Mila came out, that it would show. show other people that women can carry big or small and it doesn't affect, you know, the baby. You know, that's just the way that God made it. And Mila came out the same size I did. Mila came out the same size my first daughter did too.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Yeah. You were 612? Yeah. That's sweet. Yeah. I just noticed that when I saw it on your, I don't know if it was a bio or Instagram or something, but I was like, hey, that's me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:46 So she came out perfect and she's been healthy ever since. Women tend to look at, like, just Ashley, I'm using Ashley as the example because she is fit and she is in the fitness industry but if you really pay attention to the majority of fitness moms or women in general when they do get pregnant they don't lose that side of being a fit mom they still take care of their body they don't like she competed at three months pregnant yes you did yeah like you know and again like everyone was like oh I can't believe you're doing this oh my gosh your baby's this blah blah blah and it's just like look trust the process. You know, she knows what she's doing. She's not, she consulted with the doctor.
Starting point is 00:42:28 She's done everything that was within the realm of being healthy for the baby. She didn't cut her water. She didn't really diet down like she normally would. She had to do everything that was healthy for the baby. Right. And I mean, heck, she still took on what, third or fourth? Third out of nine women. Did you really? Three months pregnant. Yeah, being three months pregnant. Yeah. I got on stage. I sucked in really hard. I was like, hold on, Mila. I'm going to put you in my That's fine really quick. That's good for you for doing that. A lot of these women, they have that persona of when you're pregnant, you're eating for two, but you're not.
Starting point is 00:43:02 No. I don't want to say it because there's probably a woman that might listen to this and she might be that. But if you're gaining a lot of weight in your pregnancy, you're doing it to yourself. Yeah. You know, because I. Well, unless you have a high risk, like a lot of women are on bed rest. Could you imagine, you know? No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:18 But if you're perfectly healthy and you can like walk. and manage. Then a lot of people, you know, have the presumption that all that weight's just going to fall right off. A lot of it does. That's why you're supposed to gain, you know. Yeah. A lot of women gain 30 pounds, I think, is average normal weight to gain during pregnancy. I think I stayed on the low end of 18 pounds. Like the Emily, there's a girl from Australia. Beautiful. Beautiful. She's a big time fitness into, like, she's got like, what, two point, almost three million followers. She's huge. Yeah. She gained like, you know, over 50 pounds during the pregnancy and she was like two days before you or after you yeah she was high risk she
Starting point is 00:43:56 couldn't work out like her whole pregnancy but she stayed so positive and she i think in my opinion emily showed the positive side of waking during pregnancy and how you can still carry a healthy baby gain this weight and now she's showing her journey of how she's losing it all so it's like super inspiring but yeah she was high risk she couldn't she couldn't work out comfortably through the end of her pregnancy and that really hurt her well yeah that's got to be tough her not physically it hurt her mentally she desired to work out and then she couldn't but she kept her positive attitude and now she's killing it again and why isn't it that women can't just be like whatever works for you like you know we're all such different builds and we're all different mentally and what we
Starting point is 00:44:38 desire and need and want and love and have passions for if you're passionate about fitness and you want to continue and you've consulted a doctor and you're able to do that why wouldn't you like And why can't everyone just see that, you know, like even, even just people going after me for being, like, tiny boned on social media? I'm like, but that's my body. And if you were concerned that I had a disorder, which people will come after me and say that they're, oh, I'm just concerned about you. I'm like, I've always been tiny boned. And what if I did have a disorder? Do you think you coming after me on social media would help me?
Starting point is 00:45:15 Like, what is your real concern here? Well, I'm looking at you in person. I think you look great. Well, thank you. I don't think that you look like you have a disorder. No, I don't. But that's the whole thing is that I don't and that women will just come after you for anything. They will.
Starting point is 00:45:29 And it's just... Well, during my competition preps, I get half your size. Really? Yeah, talk about social media flat. Oh, yeah, I bet. Yeah, I'm down to like almost under 100 pounds before I step on stage for my shows. That is crazy. Because I have to cut that much body fat.
Starting point is 00:45:47 And, I mean, I gained it all back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the social media hate gets real. Oh, I cannot imagine. Just wait to my next show. Mine gets bad, too. Really? Yeah, because, you know, you've got to get spray tanned, like, super dark.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Oh, yeah. Sean did two of those competitions. Yeah. His face, he said. Caleb was from a skeleton. Really? Yeah, because I lose a lot of weight in my face. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Like, I literally got, like, my first coat of tan on, and I posted a picture, and I was like, all right, you know, like, here we go. First tan's on. Everyone's like, oh, my God. Who did your tan? You can see your spine. Like, oh, my Lord, I hope you're not going on vacation with that tan. It's the worst tan I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:46:25 It is bad. They're going after your tan. I'm like, guys, I've got to get on stage. I've got to be dark. But they do. People tend to attack other people's body, but then they tend to. If your body's not their body, they have something to say about it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:39 And that's with everybody. You know, like, heck, I can't get on live one time on Instagram without somebody saying something about steroids. I'm like, I'm not on, go look at pro bodybuilders. You know, that's what steroids look like. Yes. That's not me. I'm fit more than like maybe the average guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:59 But, you know, I've been in the military. I've been training with weights and stuff for years. Yeah, exactly. I'm only, you know, it's just like you'd have to see me in person. Maybe pictures make me look massive. I don't know. Well, yeah, that's, I think just pictures in general. Like, that was the whole thing that came up on Sean's social media was I was reaching
Starting point is 00:47:18 across a table like look at my arms they're double jointed so the all they look strange just because they're double jointed so i'm like reaching across the table and people are like ew oh god look at her arms really because they were like they're skinny i have tiny arms and they were i'm like oh but if you saw me in person yeah no i feel like we're similar in size yeah yeah well you're very toned well no but i feel like i'm like soft and tiny our legs are very similar in size i was actually going to ask you how you get your butt do I have to do squats with that much weight no well how do how do I get it um you can isolate your glutes with a lot of like resistance band workouts a lot of like full glute squeeze time under tension burnouts uh you could do like hip thrust you could do kickbacks
Starting point is 00:48:03 so i do hip abductors can you write she'll just have to write you up i could write you up a full booty workout it's so funny because i ask sean but it's like different for females like i'm like but I want this certain, and he can tell me to do exactly what I need to do, but I need to hear it from somebody else. Because as soon as Sean tells me what to do, I'm like, well, now I don't want to do it. Exactly. No, you don't. Squats are not the most effective booty growth.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Yeah. Exercise. That's what he told me too, and I just keep the, I see your Instagram things, for you squatting this. I'm like, good for you. And I'm like, I can never do that. I'll never have her butt. No, you will. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Yeah, I want to grow the butt. I saw pictures of myself in Hawaii. I'm like, oh, I partied my ass off. No. whatever i thought you looked great in fact i was looking at your instagram and i was like i love i love your photos they're all just so high quality they all look very like natural like i just love it i love stumbling across instagrams where the photos are true authentic i don't know good quality
Starting point is 00:48:59 good quality photos i don't feel like i have that on my instagram account it's so funny because on mine it's like one of my good girlfriends tiff is a photographer and she was with me in hawaii so it was so funny because all my photos are like decent and then also they're like so professional the whole time. I'm in Hawaii. I loved them. Yeah. It was a fun. I liked it. Oh, Hawaii. It's my happy place. Your favorite time. Your favorite time in Hawaii. This is your
Starting point is 00:49:21 first podcast back, so no one's heard about your trip to Hawaii. That's true. So what was your favorite moment in Hawaii? Or the funniest moment. Something funny had to have happened. Well, zero fun. Okay. No, no, it was all fun. I'm like trying to think of one of the funny. You know what? It was just really nice for Sean and I to just like unplug and not
Starting point is 00:49:38 be doing anything because anytime we've traveled, or gone anywhere or done things. It's always for social media or it's for an event or like we're always doing something for the past two years. And I really felt like this time we were in Hawaii and we're like, let's put our phones away. Oh, I love that. And let's like go for dinner. And I mean, we still like brought them out because we're like, he-heel.
Starting point is 00:49:56 It was fun. But we really just like kind of shut off and hung out with each other. And like reconnected. Yeah. It was really, really nice. We need a vacation. Oh, I know something. My confession.
Starting point is 00:50:07 That's something funny that happened in Hawaii. Okay. Go. Oh my gosh So my confession on my last podcast was that This is so embarrassing That I paid $426 for eyelashes extensions And ridiculous
Starting point is 00:50:20 That's a lot of money for eyelash extensions And so we get I did it just so when I was in Hawaii I didn't have to do my makeup every day And I could still just have some lashes on And so Sean and I got in like a little argument over nothing It was like me being like
Starting point is 00:50:34 You're dismissing my feelings And I had like this little moment and I cried. And so I go, I cry easily. And so I go down to this spa treatment that I had where I got to float in this, like, tube. It was supposed to be this like relaxing, meditating, like tunnel that you just go in. And it's like a big giant egg and you shut it and you float in there. Wow.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Egg floating. And it's like, how much water would you say this is? Maybe like a foot. A foot. Yeah. So it's like maybe a foot, maybe a little more of water. And there's, it's the saltiest salt water that you can't. get your eyes in it otherwise it'll burn so badly and like you put your plugs in and you just lay
Starting point is 00:51:13 there and float so I took that time to have a little therapy to cry and I'm like uh and I like went to change positions and floating and my whole face like dunked in the water and all my eyelashes coming out everywhere and I looked in the mirror after and I was like oh dear God I had like lashes is on my face. They were like, any time I touched them, they were coming out, I was like, $400 to down the drain. As I was, like, crying. And it was like a really sad but funny moment where I was like, oh, God, there's my confession. My 426 eyelashes were gone because I'm a baby.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it was pretty bad. Yeah. Yeah, it got worse. That is so funny. It wasn't very therapeutic. I love that. The floating was.
Starting point is 00:52:03 whole kind of traumatic i love that we've just not gone off my notes at all through this podcast because that's my notes are there for like if i have to like you know really have a structure and awkward moments of silence right right and so now i'm like wait we've talked about everything i'm like should we do questions or do you have a confession i mean i haven't bought underwear in like two years what i mean i mean i just rewashed my underwear i mean i mean come on let's just be real do you wear underwear often every day oh you just rew that's not bad well no No. I mean, I just don't really know if I have a confession. Well, I took my horses in my house when I was 15, running from the police.
Starting point is 00:52:39 What? Yeah, I thought there was a murderer. There's a confession. Yeah, I thought there was a murderer on the way here. He was driving with gloves on. Who drives with gloves on? I did on the way here. It's cold.
Starting point is 00:52:47 That's what I'm trying to do. No, you did not. Thank you. No, you did not. You could see the mittens in my whole Instagram story where I'm like, this guy's a murder. He is guilty. Yeah, I'm just like, babe, he's 70 years old. It's 20 degrees outside.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Go watch my Instagram story. I swear. I was like, not everyone has a heated steering wheel, babe. His hands are freezing. I was like, I'm a woman. I know when there's a creepy killer man. I know when men are creepy, and that man there has just murdered somebody. Seriously, you were guilty as he exited.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah, I was like, you are guilty. Stop. They were black leather gloves. I mean, come on. I just like mittens. They're cozy. Okay, you like them. These are black leather gloves.
Starting point is 00:53:23 When he puts them on, they're cold. They're leather. I don't get it. So you brought your horses in your house? At 15, yeah. I ran from the cops. fast as I could. I grew up in a place called Weston, Florida. Yeah. It's just like a very high-end, like ritsy neighborhood. Like everyone's
Starting point is 00:53:39 knows as this. In Florida. Right. All the bad things happen in Florida. Oh, I know. Wow. Like this. Yeah. We lived in a development and there was like bushes in this little opening, maybe like four feet wide. I had my friend with me. And this officer was probably just going to politely tell me to leave. But in my mind, I was like, I'm going to jail. My parents are going to ground me. They're going to sell my horse. We need to go. And we took off. I mean, we flew on our horses down behind these bushes. And this cop was just chasing us. And he could like see, like, the bushes were high, but you could see like two brown horses running behind bushes. And we made a beeline for my house. And I was like, get off. Get them in. I threw
Starting point is 00:54:17 my horses in my house. I slammed the door shut. And I tied a trash bag under the girls because if the girl went to the bathroom, it would just come straight out the back. If the guy went to the bathroom, it would go under him, the way the horses are designed. So I put a trash bag on her tail. And I I was just praying to God that my horse, who was the boy, did not use the bathroom. My house. He didn't. I only told my mom, the apartment complex, because that's what it was called my mom. And they were like, your daughter has her horses in the apartment.
Starting point is 00:54:44 And I took a picture, so I still have the picture. But my dad didn't find out until years later. Oh, my gosh. Send me the photo. Oh, I have it. Yeah. That's amazing. Wow.
Starting point is 00:54:55 That's kind of badass. You know. Desperate times. calls for desperate measures. That's so cute. I always wanted a horse growing up. I have two of them. Can I have one?
Starting point is 00:55:07 Yes, I have one that I think would fit your personality pretty well. Perfect. Would it get along with my dog Tucker? She doesn't like anything. Oh, then no. She is afraid of everything, right? She's a baby. She's a firecracker.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Really? Yeah, we have to train her this summer. Oh, my gosh. See, Tucker can't even handle like any other animal being around us, so. He's sweet. He is so sweet. Oh, Ashley, could you ever do Big Brother or Survivor? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Yeah, I think you could too. I think that there's possibility maybe in the future one day. Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that opportunity may be presented itself. Yeah. You know, it hasn't been mentioned to me, but. I think you, I would love to watch you on Big Brother. Would you watch me?

So you tell me yours. can you not waitress edition go okay I guess for hers I have two of them okay might be can you not ask if we are okay 50 times after we told you we're okay 50 times right yeah and then it was can you not ask us to pay while we're still eating when you put the ticket down it was it was so bad like she came up every two minutes asking if we were okay now granted thank you for asking if we're okay and you know we told her that we said you know Thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:28 We're fine. Well, she brings the food. It's like two bites in. Is everything okay? And I'm like, yeah, the food's great. Thank you. Yeah. She came back, not even, my food wasn't even halfway done.
Starting point is 00:58:39 She brought the check already. No. Didn't ask us if I want a dessert. Didn't ask nothing. She just puts the check down. And then she stands there. And she stood there. What?
Starting point is 00:58:47 And I was just like, can you not? Can you not stand there while I'm trying to eat and ask me if I'm ready to pay? Because that's what she did next. That's what she did next. Are you ready? Ready to pay as we're still eating. No. So can you not ask us if we're ready to pay while we're still eating?
Starting point is 00:59:03 That's a big Kenny Knot. Yeah. Do you have any? Oh, I'm trying to think of Kenny Knots for servers because I used to be one. I bartended. Yeah? Well, bartended while I was pregnant. Did you?
Starting point is 00:59:15 Yeah, now I want to go to Nashville and bartend. Oh, so much fun. Yes, I love it. I'd give you 26%. You wouldn't have to give me anything. I would just want to see you get tipsy. Okay. You're seeing it right now.
Starting point is 00:59:26 I think she might be taking on a job over at FGL House. Oh, yeah. There's a possibility. Are you guys going to move here? Oh, yeah. Yes. More than likely. The latest is August.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Yeah, we have a lease right now. I want to leave about two months early and pay out the lease just so we can get here a little bit early. But a buddy of mine is one of the owners over at the FGL house. And he invited us in for lunch and whatnot. He manages that he runs it. Yeah. Believe it or not, the owner is like the big time. owners are big fans of big brother really yeah big brother fans they're huge so like they invited us
Starting point is 01:00:01 in they got us a table and just like we just enjoy it we set with them they that we talked to them all night we took several pictures with uh the owners and the owners wives and it you know it was really fun and uh the next thing you know um fabio which is the guy that like basically he runs the entire place yeah and uh we're telling him that she was a bartender and he was like oh you should come work up here and he's like i'll hire you Oh, you'd have so much fun. Yeah, the time just has to be right, because they have like a slow season and a busy season. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:31 I mean, I would like to do it. I would like to have fun, but we have other business ventures going on. Yeah. Yes. Tell me about that. Tell me about yours. Next, well, this week we're meeting with a girl who is a pastry chef. Well, she was a pastry chef for the Omni here in Nashville, then she moved closer to our house.
Starting point is 01:00:47 But I really want to do, like, protein donuts. That's amazing. A protein donut business, like a healthier alternative to donuts. And so we're going to her house this week to. learn how to make them and do the recipes and the icings and the flavors and how to add this healthier twisted donuts because we're going to be distributing them locally and then hopefully when we move to Nashville we can get our distribution going here we want them to taste just as good as a horrible like I call it say horrible donut we want them to taste as good for you but
Starting point is 01:01:15 delicious we want them to taste really well but we want them to be better for you just give you a better alternative actually aren't both in the fitness industry yes we love health and fitness so you know instead of just making just a horrible donut you know that's bad for you taste good but bad for you so worth everybody you know we were we were just thinking why not yeah i think it's a great idea there's nowhere around us that makes protein donuts would you have them at like gyms and sell them yeah absolutely and then we'll probably start shipping them out you know people do order online you can maybe possibly get them like put in like vitamin shops or yeah They would just depend on what their regulations were.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. I love that idea. What was your Ken You Not? You had a neighbor Can You Not? I could go off on neighbor Can You Notts. I'm like, I'm going to check my phone because people were tweeting them too and it's so funny. Because I'm like, I'm a little concerned that the lady who is my neighbor, I know for a fact she doesn't listen to the podcast or like, or if she does, I don't know, that'd be crazy.
Starting point is 01:02:18 But she's a little bit older and she didn't talk to us for the first. I don't know, like three, four months that we lived in our home. And, well, then she found out that we were on the Bachelorette. And so she showed up at our house with, like, dog treats that were, like, half opened in the box. And she was like, oh, well, that's my program, you know. And we're like, okay. Anyways, then she came into the front door and she was like... She came in your house?
Starting point is 01:02:48 Oh, yeah. Yeah. And she was, you know, telling her stories. and she gives me some soaps that were from Christmas time, but this was in, like, February. And she was like asking me, this is my big, can you not? She asked me, why don't you go to church? Oh. I was like, do you really want to get into this?
Starting point is 01:03:07 Like, can you not ask? And she's like, well, if you ever want to come to church with me? And I'm like, okay, after you just told me that you're like a big fan of the show and you're like, it was weird. And it's hard for you to get out anyway. Could you imagine you and Sean walking into a mega church? You wouldn't even be able to make it too. We went out in Nashville.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Yeah. And you and Sean could not have two seconds. Yeah. It's aggressive. Yeah. It's nuts. The people recognized you, right? We went out and it was just like we were even in a corner table up against hiding
Starting point is 01:03:33 in a wall and it did not dim down anything. Yeah. Yeah. I remember that. So I couldn't imagine you guys walking anywhere. I think people in Nashville are really like looking for us too because they know we live there. But then this woman is my biggest can you not. I did.
Starting point is 01:03:47 I even tweeted because I'm like, can you not? She stole our mail when we asked her like, We've got our sister coming to get the mail while we're gone. Please don't take our mail. Well, she took it anyways, and she brought it in her car, like, to church. Just like, I don't know, maybe show people that we live next to her. And then Megan, our sister went to go get it. And she was like, well, how did you know I had it?
Starting point is 01:04:08 And we have cameras. Oh, my gosh. And so we saw her, like, go into our mailbox and get our mail and take it. And we're like, can you not take our mail? That's like super illegal. Well, that's, yeah, I'm like, I could call the cops on you. Please don't do that. Go get a mailbox that it locks in the front and that you can only drop mail in from the top.
Starting point is 01:04:30 I'm going to now. That's just a complete invasion of privacy. And then she asked me, oh, you can't control your dog. I'm like, no, you're damn right, I can. He's the same, we weigh the same amount. We're both like 100 pounds. You don't want to control him. He's his own person.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Yeah. That's how I am. That's on that pet owner. He's his own person. Yeah. I don't want to control him. I'm like, he just wants to control him. I'm like, he just wants to control him.
Starting point is 01:04:52 to lick your hand. Like, he's not going to attack you. Can you not? Can you not? Also, can you not? Now I hope she does listen. And she'll get the point. Can you not drive over?
Starting point is 01:05:04 Their driveway is right beside ours. She'll drive over the grass because coming down my driveway is easier for her. Really? But she doesn't think we see because we have cameras. Wow. So she drives to go and then drives down your driveway. Yeah. Can you not?
Starting point is 01:05:19 Can you not? I have a suggestion. Okay. Put spikes. Oh. I mean, I could just tell her to stop, but she doesn't listen. She took our mail. She's far less funny because you have cameras.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Spikes. And then set up the camera and then put it out to YouTube and get a bunch of views. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that would work. It's so vicious. What a savage move. That is next level savage. We would be mean girls.
Starting point is 01:05:43 We would officially be a part of the Mean Girls Club. We don't have to actually do it, but the fact that we thought about it is pretty funny. I'm trying to see if there's any, any Ken, can you not neighbor. Can you not wear shoes in the house when people live beneath you? I'm convinced this person has high heels on her feet because they're always on. I don't know what that means. That's our can you not say. I'm like, we've got to get to questions.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Okay. Shannon wants to know if you'd ever do the challenge on MTV like some of the other big brother players are doing. No. In my opinion. Yeah. And I'm entitled to it. It's just my opinion. It doesn't mean it's everyone else's.
Starting point is 01:06:18 But I don't believe a show like that's made for someone that's married. someone that's married or even a show that if you've got a girlfriend I don't think it's meant for you either I don't even know what the challenge is well they you know it's just it's just kind of the stuff that they do on that show I mean it's I guess in a way it could be similar to Big Brother yeah kind of a little more party party though yeah it's like you know we just recently had a friend you know Victor went on it I just don't feel like it's it's meant for for someone that's married whatnot because you know you if the group goes out to a party you all have to go You know, so everyone's drunk, everyone's drinking, you know, some, they throw challenges in there.
Starting point is 01:06:56 It's just a bunch of people that are at the house drunk and drinking all the time. And they do some challenges here and there and then they go back to the house or drinking again. It's just more for the drama on TV for the drinking parts. Yeah, yeah. That's mixed in a couple challenges. Yeah, I just don't think it's meant for me. I wouldn't want to be in that kind of atmosphere. You know, like on Big Brother, yeah, you can have a glass of wine here and there.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Yeah, but it's not a party. No, the most they gave us was like six beers and like two bottles of wine. But that's between 16 people. What? When it's you're surrounded by party and crazy people, I think it's. Yes, some people are over that phase in their life. Yeah. And I just, you know, because I've got the question a lot.
Starting point is 01:07:35 You know, when Victor and Natalie and then went to go do that, everyone started asking me. Well, hey, why aren't you doing it? I'm like, I would not say yes to that show. Abby Miller. Oh, they want to know how you guys met. Abby Miller wants to know how you met. Neutral friends. mutual friend i grew up with a guy named shannon uh and Shannon was her boss's son yeah um when she hunted for the outdoor industry she hosted their television show on the outdoor channel well the guy's son i've known for a long time and i've actually known her bosses and them for a long time too because they their company was where i grew up at okay um when i got out a big brother in my hometown we have a thing called a ham festival it's just this massive festival and um i had my first meet and greet there uh
Starting point is 01:08:19 not even a week off the show. It was really fun. We were selling t-shirts, and I was taking pictures and signing stuff. And well, Shannon come up to me, and he's like, hey, there's this girl I want you to meet. And I was like, all right, well, who is it? And he showed me a picture of her,
Starting point is 01:08:37 and I was like, I've seen her before. Well, come to find out, I saw her like two years before at a hunting expo. Oh, really? And I walked up to her, and I was going to try to, like, flirt with her, I guess. Yeah. And I noticed she had a ring on with this, now the diamond's in my necklace,
Starting point is 01:08:54 but it was like a little diamond ring on her wedding finger. I seen the ring, so I turned around. I was like, I'm not, I ain't jumping on that. I'm out of there. So sort of remembered her. And I even sent her a DM not too long after that because she was doing a competition. He slid into my DM. He slid up in there.
Starting point is 01:09:10 Yeah, like two years before Big Brother. Really? So I messaged her, and I was like, hey, I see you do fitness competitions. Good luck on your upcoming one. She never applied or nothing. denied that's how it's done yeah that's how you get a husband you make them work for years taste so two years later uh he had he had basically show me the picture of her and then he had me sign one of my pictures for her yeah and he took a picture of me holding it and he sent it to her the look
Starting point is 01:09:38 yeah the first time i ever saw him it was a picture sent to me on twitter from someone else with him I'm holding up a picture of himself to Ashley. Signed. Yeah. Wow, smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:54 In the flesh. But none of that was my idea of meeting her. It was this guy's. Yeah. You know, so that's kind of how we met. But the really cool part of this story was, well, at that point, I followed her on Instagram, and I messaged her, and I was like, hey. And tell her what you told me the second day we were talking.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Supposedly. Don't even supposedly behind that. No, supposedly, I texted her, or I messaged her on Instagram. I was like, hey, my name's Caleb. supposedly we're supposed to be doing a hunting show together that's what it was all based on he was like I want you guys to do a hunting segment together yeah so I messaged her and I told her that I was like hey supposedly I'm supposed to do a hunt with you um he told me to message you here blah blah blah so I did you know what big brother was by the way yeah yeah I just saw this guy who had a million trillion followers at the time and I was just like this is the cool part of this story okay well when Big Brother first came on you know how they announced the people yes and they show you like their backstory of where they're from. Well, her sister was a big time Big Brother freak. She watches every season, every episode. She knows everybody. Well, my segment come on of when I was being introduced. Her sister messaged her mom and she said, if Ashley ever met this guy on Big Brother, she would
Starting point is 01:11:04 fall in love with him. Oh, my God. They never told me that. They never told her. So after our first date, not long after she came in for a hunt, like a month later, and we finally met it outback when we left she texted her sister and she said hey you watch big brother right and she was like yes and she goes well i just got done eating with this guy's name's caleb and her sister was like you're lying to me and she was like they could not believe it they because she's all freaking out and they're like what how did this happen because she she she took it back to day one and she was like i told mom you would love him if you ever got to meet him and we ended up meeting and yeah so with a child and now you're with child and now we're with christmas
Starting point is 01:11:44 podcast in Nashville yeah what is this what is this life what is life super crazy story but really awesome to to us it's like a god thing you know how it happened because post show like probably just as well as i do when you come off of a big show like that opportunities are just there you can go wherever you want to go in the world and it'll probably be paid for um you know i had so many opportunities and but after i met her it was like there's something about this one that's different from all the other ones. Yeah. Granted, I was talking to 10 or 15 different girls when I first got off the show. We're not going to go into that. The pictures. Yeah. Oh, I can't. He got a dirty Santa picture from a girl. We're in Colorado. Yeah. She, we're laying in bed in Colorado. And it was
Starting point is 01:12:30 the most romantic condo. Like, I flew us out to Breckenridge. It was amazing. Like, we still reminisce on this trip. And we're laying there. And he has his phone up. And it's like, ding. And like, you know how when you get the text message and there's a picture? Yeah. They're she was. Dirty Santa. Santa doesn't dress like that. And the bra and panties like, that's not what Santa dresses like. No. No.
Starting point is 01:12:51 And I look at Caleb and it's before we went public. And I went, oh, that's nice. And I walked away. And he then was like, you can't see me. And he's like, they mean, and he's screenshot of what he sent her. And I was like, well, how did she get in your number? And we went through that whole conversation. We were brand new in the relationship.
Starting point is 01:13:07 And he left the condo and he went for a walk. And the next thing you know, he announces me on Twitter. It makes me public. People are writing articles, and I'm just like, oh, this jerk. He's trying to win me over with his announcement, trying to make it all official on me. We're in Colorado. And I was just like, that's how, that's what happened. But that's the kind of stuff that he would get in the beginning.
Starting point is 01:13:27 But it was, but I had the same number for like seven or eight years when I met her. People that I talked to here and there before, I was single for six years before I even went on Big Brother. So, yeah, there were people that I talked to. Of course. All of a sudden I go on TV. Now these people pop up again. Obviously. And they're, you know, hey, how you been? And I'm like, whoa. So she gets all pissy at me and all mad. So I messaged the girl back and I said, look, I'm dating a girl. You
Starting point is 01:13:54 cannot be sending me that. She did apologize. She was like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I did not know. I don't follow you on social media. Well, if you don't know, then you shouldn't be texting dirty pictures. So it's still inappropriate. Yeah. So, but when all of that happened, that's when I was like, you know what, I want everyone to know. Yeah. You know, I don't want any more of the crazy pictures being sent to me. I want everyone to know that I am taken just in case they're like,
Starting point is 01:14:16 oh my gosh, you know, a friend of mine from eight years ago went on Big Brother, I want to text him and see how he's doing and it run her off. So that's when I was like,
Starting point is 01:14:24 you know what, I'm going to let everybody know now. I think, yeah, it was a worst thing for her though. She was getting death threats and everything. I was, yeah, I think because I wasn't like a fan girl.
Starting point is 01:14:32 I was like, I wasn't afraid to just be single, you know, I was very, like, independent. I think that's what kept Caleb's eyes on me the whole time. Like, otherwise, he could have just been like whatever fine go i have like 20 other girls texting my phone
Starting point is 01:14:43 dirty pictures i've seen outfits but like let's let's be real though that the normal if if i got a message from instagram or something it was from a fan girl actually didn't watch it so for her i was like she doesn't like me because i did this she didn't watch me right so i think that is what it was what that i enjoyed about her was she constantly got to ask me questions about it these other people felt like they knew me yeah that's weird you know so it was a lot different for Ashley that's something I just pretended never even happened like I know for a fat girls will do and have and still do probably to the day go crazy for Sean and his like direct messages because people have like no boundaries like I said yeah and so I'm like I just don't even want
Starting point is 01:15:23 to know because I I find it so incredibly disrespectful too like I'm glad that girl apologized but she didn't know you know but like even still to I'm like don't girls know that you are known because you're engaged like what do what are they thinking yeah They don't care. They don't care. Jerks. That's all the questions I'm going to get to because this has been, I mean, we're way over time, which is great. Oh, my.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Yeah, it's great. But I just want to thank you guys for coming, making the drive down. And I'm so excited you're moving to Nashville. Yeah. We're excited. I'm a great babysitter. I really am. She's very easy to babysit, clearly.
