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

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

So whether it's your first time experiencing Pride and Prejudice or you've read it a million times, you're going to fall absolutely in love all over again. So go listen to Pride and Prejudice now at audible.ca slash Jane Austen. going to fly my spaceship into a black hole. What? Is that cool with you, dog? Rick, no! And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you drunk dial. It's Friday, Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday. Everybody, like a boy, where to the weekend, weekend, Friday? Friday, getting down on Friday. Do you guys remember that song? I feel like Rebecca Black is back, though. Like, I feel like I saw something on her. have her on my podcast like maybe she has a new single or something but you guys remember that whole rebecca black friday song what i'm getting at is happy freaking friday vinos welcome to drunk dial

oh my goodness it must feel so good to get to friday it doesn't matter for me never really know what day it is but happy for you guys that it's friday i was trying to think of good topics to come up with. So what else do you do when you need something to talk about, but go to the internet and see what's trending? And there's two things, okay? Two things trending. Taylor Swift, apparently, oh, turn your phone off, Caitlin. Apparently Taylor Swift's new album is possibly dropping. There's been a lot of teasers. And herpes. Herpes cases reportedly skyrocketed at Coachella this year. And those are the two headlines I keep seeing.

What? Is anybody going to stagecoach this weekend? I feel like a lot of people are going. It's Friday. I feel like you're going today, maybe tomorrow. I was supposed to go, but plans have changed. I'll tell you why later. But yeah, I mean, watch out for the herpes, I guess, at stagecoach.

Reported cases of herpes have been increased in area surrounding Coachella Valley following the two weekends of this year's annual music festival. I mean, I'm not, it's, I mean, STDs are no joke, so I'm not trying to make a joke of this, but, I mean, wrap it up, yo. That's so crazy. Normally people's, wait, HRP alert told people that they normally handle 12 cases a day in Southern California, but during the first two days of the music festival earlier this month, they received almost 250 inquiries about 10 times. more than their average. I didn't know this was a thing. Herp Alert is actually an online service that allows users to send photos of their possible infection for clinical evaluation and prescription treatment. All right. Well, I mean, I'm glad there's help out there for them, but just, I mean,

I'm not even joking. Be careful out there. These music festivals, I always see them on Instagram. You know, we all dread the time where it's Coachella and Stage Coach, and we see it's like a fashion show now i don't even know if it's about the music anymore but i always see it from afar and go i'm really glad i'm not there but i know if i was it would be fun so i mean to each their own music festivals have never really been my thing but i love music so i don't know i think i just don't like crowds you guys with me on that or what uh i'm trying to not be distracted also because i I am the biggest, biggest fan when it comes to playoff hockey. The Canadian in me really comes out, Oot, and I just live, live, live for playoff hockey.

So today I treated myself to a nice 90-minute massage with the Soothe app, not an ad. It's just what I use. This girl, let me tell you, it was the best 90-minute massage I've ever had in my life. I started snoring. I twitched. I was trying to stay awake just because I was like, no, no, I need to remember this massage. This is everything. And during that, she was like, do you want music on?

I was like, can we put on the playoff hockey? Like, that's just comforting to me right now. Canada. I don't know what it is. Hockey. Jason was watching curling last night. And I was like, that's so hot. I don't know. There's just something about playoff hockey that just gets me all fired up.

And I don't know. The Canadian in me just comes out. Anyways, I have been treating myself nonstop. I wanted to do a little humble brag because, I mean, usually this would be a drunk dial. Usually Caitlin's drinking wine. My mouth is watering thinking about wine. But since the tour, you know, I was doing the live podcast tour, it was a. mother freaking world wind and I was you know drinking tequila and people were sending shots and we were going out and we were drinking wine and then I'm getting up early to go travel to the next

city and I'm traveling and drinking and staying out late and I'm not sleeping properly so I came home and I was like Caitlin maybe take a breather mix in some workouts don't drink get proper rest and see how you feel because I'm going to Mexico in May. So I need to recharge the batteries. And so you know what? I've been home for I think 10 days. I haven't had one sip of alcohol. I have worked out the 10 days in a row, which that probably, I mean, that's probably just stupid. I've been cooking my own meals eating so healthy, but we're going to talk about our period for a second. I, one, am so sick of period shaming or there being some sort of stigma around period talk because we wouldn't be here as humans if there wasn't a

period. I really want to encourage everybody, every woman out there listening to start like a period journal or diary or just get an app that tracks your period and start taking notes and writing down your symptoms and how you're feeling and tracking each month what's happening to you because I'm starting to do that and I'm realizing a pattern and I'm 33 years old, okay? I don't remember the age I got my period, but I mean, how do I not know my own body yet? I'm just now realizing how emotional, how stressed out, how hormonal I get the week before. And I mean, sometimes, I don't want to say poor Jason, but poor Jason, I, you know, I was irritable and things are just bothering me. And I think people suffer, I think women suffer silently because we don't understand why we're feeling certain ways.

And then for one week, you know, or five days or however long it could affect you, it's, you're feeling a certain way and you're feeling down. And I'm sure hormones affect other women differently. But I get depressed. I get irritable. I get anxiety. I don't sleep as well. I get back aches. Just the list goes on.

And I've been doing some research on it. And some women even get so hormonal that they feel suicidal. And how confusing would that be to feel these intrusive thoughts and not understand where they come from when it could be something that's as simple. I say simple, but it's as simple as hormones, which are actually very complicated. But, you know, being aware and getting to know your emotions and your body could be so detrimental to your health and just how you have your outlook on life. Because I think women have these weeks where they are just down and confused why they're so down. And then they might make decisions where, you know, whether it be a poor business decision or an emotional decision with a friendship or a relationship or they could do something, that could bring them down so much that their one week is down and then the next three weeks

are them trying to understand why that happened and working through it for it all just to happen again the next month. So my challenge to you is to start keeping track and understanding. And I can have more of a conversation about this if this is something you guys are interested in. Again, I'm always super open to feedback of what you guys want here on the podcast. I'm actually really curious to know if you guys are enjoying these drunk dial episodes or if it's just like you know three's a lot i won't get offended i'm very curious uh i know it's really fun to interact with the vinos and and listeners and do these drunk dials but i was like if it's too much for everyone i can do drunk dials on grape therapy i can involve you guys more in the grape therapy episodes rather

than it just being two interviews a week so please let me know your feedback of course i got off topic the reason i brought up periods is because i've been i've been so healthy and I've been trying to take care of myself, and that's how I do balance. I go to town and go overboard, and then I go overboard the other way. Okay, that's my balance. Everybody's balance is different. But what I'm getting at is, even though I'm like, you know, I wake up and I'll tell you my, what I have in my day to eat.

Is this, I mean, is this boring? Are you guys, you guys want them all those? I don't know. Fast forward if you don't. I wake up and I always make a coffee. with, I'm a big fan of oat milk, and I make Ezekiel bread toast with a little bit of almond butter, half of a banana, and hemp seeds on it. Then I go do my workout.

I come back, I either make a protein waffle with this F-factor protein powder, or I make eggs, which I don't know why lately, but I've been turned off by eggs recently, and that's not good because that's i eat them a lot uh then i'll make a salad and then by night time i'll usually either make some sort of like salmon or salad or something anyways i when i'm on my period or when i'm PMSing or those five days i am craving sugar like nobody's business and i don't usually have a sweet tooth and i am just going ham on the chocolate and the sweets and I bought licorice and I have gummy worms and I have this insanely good chocolate and I just can't there you can't stop me somebody stop me I just can't stop me and I just

wondering if anybody has any tricks out there to help crave your sweet tooth I my one trick that I'll share with you is I put a scoop of cocoa powder which is no sugar in peppermint tea and it's like mint chocolate and it actually does i mean i should do that more often because it's genius and you're welcome but i'm just trying to figure out how to do this and i think a big part of it is that i'm not drinking wine it's like oh i'm being so healthy i'm not drinking wine and sugary wine every night well yeah i'm just crushing gummy worms and and licorice and finishing it off with a half of chocolate. I hate two chocolate bars today, okay?

Justin's peanut buttercups, they're vegan, I think. No, I know they are. I learned that from Julian Harris. And two chocolate bars today, okay? And that was on top of the gummy worms and licorice. I just, you know, I can't. And then it's causing me to break out. I am all for, there's this book, I think, called the period power or,

Anyways, there's also a documentary that I'm going to watch before I go to sleep tonight called period, end of sentence, and it won an Oscar, I believe, for the best documentary, and it's about how women in certain countries are ashamed of their period, and they, you know, young women don't even go to school because they don't have won the funds to get stuff to protect them. They're made to feel like it's a bad thing, and they end up dropping out of school, and I'm just so intrigued by all of this. and I want to learn more and I want to get involved and I want to help and I was talking to my girlfriend Amber about it and we both just want to come up with ways to take part in helping these women and and just having more conversation about it. So again, I wish we could all come together. We could all come together and, you know, say we all wouldn't be here without a period, but can we all come together and say like, can the Zit stop?

Can the sugar craving stop? Like, I'm 33 and I've got like two of the biggest zits of my whole career on my face. What frigging gives? What gives? And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what grinds my gears. Huh? Anyways. I've got some drunk dials coming up, some questions from listeners.

So let's get to that. Drunk dial? So we're dialing tonight. Ew. I will say, though, I've got to be up at 4 a.m. It's 10 to 11. I've got to be up at 4 a.m. for a flight.

Get to see Jason for the weekend, so that will be nice. Long distance, ma'am. What a bitch. What a biocch. Meg Kingham asks, what's your favorite thing about America that you don't have in Canada? And she also wants to know what is your best Chris Harrison moment from your time spent? on the Bachelor franchise.

Oh, she's available for a call. Let's see if she picks up. Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system. Did she just? She totally. I cannot accept any messages at this time. Goodbye. Meg, I'm pretty sure you just hit the ignore button on me because that only rang once.

I get it. It's a private number. But girlfriend, you're available for a call? I might have to get you next week. You can come up with another question because I always feel bad when people don't pick up. Actually, that's the first time that's happened. Gosh, how do I have so much fun in my own bedroom podcasting alone? Like, I'm just getting a kick out of myself sometimes.

This morning I did something funny and I just looked at myself in the mirror and I was naked out of the shower and I just did something so dumb like just on my own and said something out loud, which I talked to myself all the time. And I looked in the mirror and just laughed at myself and then waved. Like, hey, I waved to myself naked after doing something stupid. Like, what's wrong with me? Okay, well, I'll answer your question anyways because that would be pretty rude if I didn't. Favorite thing about America that I don't have in Canada. Ooh, that's a tricky one. Oh, duh.

No, it's not Target. Welcome to Target. Canada tried to pick up Target for like a hot minute and it failed and I don't. I will never understand. Target is life. I do a lot of my shopping there. I get a lot of bathing suits from there. I get a lot of clothes from there.

I get everything from there. So that's probably my favorite thing about America. Target. My favorite Chris Harrison moment from my time spent on the Bachelor franchise. I would get him in trouble if I told this because it's not anything inappropriate. It's just his sense of humor that can stay between. us because we we friends but just sometimes I'd come back from a rose ceremony and I'd be sad because I felt bad about sending somebody home and he'd have some hilarious joke he's just

he's so quick and so witty and his humor is just my kind of humor and you just I mean you got to hear a bit of it on my podcast with him a while ago but he's just he's just hilarious okay Sydney Milligan asks how do you make a long distance relationship work my boyfriend is about to move away and i'm trying to stay positive about it oh jason doesn't know i'm going to do this but let's call him and ask his thoughts hello hi what's going on so i have a i have a question from a listener and i was like oh maybe i'll call jason and get his advice because i think we could be able to help her here okay so sydney wants to know how do you make a long distance relationship work my boyfriend is about to move away and I'm trying to stay positive about it and here's my thing

I'm like I think we just all we know is long distance right now but for her that must be so hard that they've already like he's about to move away but they've already been in the same city so that must be really tricky so how what advice do you have for her yeah so the advice I have is that what really helps is when you have things planned in the future so So for you and I, we've always had, whether it's the upcoming weekend, the weekend after it, either there is an event or something we're doing or just something as simple as seeing each other that weekend. So when you have things to look forward to, it allows time to fly by faster. And then the second thing is you want to at least have some type of light at the end of the tunnel.

And I don't know what that is. And if it's three years, two years, one year, six months a time of what that gap will be. closed. Those are my things. And the biggest, like the biggest advice is it's all about communication. I mean, when you're feeling up, down, left, right, I mean, easy, happy, you really have to communicate those feelings. You don't want a wall to build up, even though there's a distance between you. God, you're good. That was great advice. I mean, because we know it well, but that was really good. Yeah, that's why. That's my thing. It's helped us.

That's good. Okay, well, you, I'll call you back after, but it's so hard to hear you. I don't know if it's your earbuds or what, but you probably need a pair of racons like mine. Exactly what I do. Exactly what I need. Okay. I'll get you a pair. All right.

Talk you later. Oh my gosh. Okay, bye. He sounded so much clear once he took it off those earbuds. He needs a pair of racons. Okay. That was really good advice. I really liked that.

The communication is so. key whether you feel silly about how you're feeling or you just want to talk about your day or anything communication is so clutch when you're doing long distance very big believer in that and jason and i probably talk too much over the phone it's kind of embarrassing uh and then yeah light at the end of the tunnel are you are you guys going to plan to eventually be together planning things like little getaway weekends. I should have Blair. Actually, I will have Blair back on. I'll get her to do a drunk dial podcast or grape therapy and we'll talk about how her relationship's going because they're doing long distance and we'll see what's new there. But she might be able to have some

more advice for you too. But I think the biggest takeaway is communication. All right. Taylor, Katie, wants to know, if you could move anywhere for a year, where would you live? For a year? Duh. Italy. The people are so happy there. Everybody's just in a great mood. Everybody socially has wine and just lives their life to the full. It's the most stunning place. It's, I'd want to learn more about places in Italy. I want to go back.

I'm like, that Nocan app that I used for going to Iceland, I'm like, I saw that they're maybe going to Italy. Sign me up. That was an amazing app. I was obsessed with it. It made my trip so easy. And, and now they're going to be. go to Italy like say what say what okay so Melissa Gerard asks if you had to pick a fictional

character to best describe yourself who would it be that's a great question target lady oh you know what I said this so when you go to be on the bachelor before you go on and you're doing all the screening and everything they give you a questionnaire to fill out and they asked me similar question to that and i said april o'neal because one she's a babe and two she gets to hang out with the ninja turtles all the time and i just feel like they're awesome so april o'neal or target lady again what's wrong with me madison you see asked what's your favorite way to treat yourself when feeling down oh gosh just a really nice bottle of wine like go treat myself to like at 80-90 dollar bottle of wine i'll do it i'm scared

go on with your bad self kately and you know what i love sitting out on my rocking chair on my front porch with a glass of wine and a good book i've just loved reading lately it really helps with my anxiety you guys all right now the most difficult question of them all is elizabeth bosker she asked would you rather sweat mayonnaise or cry hot sauce that's disgusting I mean, what a way to end the drunk dial. Would you rather sweat mayonnaise or cry hot sauce? Okay, I would like you to answer this too, Elizabeth. But my answer is cry hot sauce.

Because one time I opened a bottle of hot sauce and it exploded my face and I got it in my eyes. And to be honest, I just, I smelled like that hot sauce for a couple days and it was delicious. I mean, it burns for a second, but I just won't cry then. Can't help but sweat. just don't cry anyways enjoy your weekend everybody stay away from herpes if you're going to stagecoach

and let me know if you do any stupid drunk tiles maybe I'll talk about that on the next drunk dial you guys can write in your stories of your drunk dials genius god I'm such a business woman Thank you.
