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.
So per usual, and as I'm laying here in my hotel bed, I'm having a glass of wine right now from my favorite wine subscription, Bright Sellers.
You've probably heard me mention them on the podcast before.
They're the wine club that uses a quiz to match you with wines you'll actually love each month.
This club is especially great for those of you that live in the states where it's really cold right now
because they deliver your shipment directly to you. Also, sorry about your bad luck as we sit here in Hawaii.
If you're anything like me, then once you're home, there's no way you're going back out in the freezing cold, even if it is for wine.
Bright Sellers delivers your matches to your house, your office, pretty much wherever you need some wine, and it's super convenient and fun.
But what's even better is that my Off the Vine listeners, you can get 50% off when you visit Bright Sellers,
So take the wine quiz at brightsellers.com slash off the vine and see your matches and get 50% off your first order.
Podcast One presents Off the Vine, great therapy.
Caitlin Bristow's going to answer your question, drink to your confessions, and hear what you have to say about anything Bachelor.
Let's shake it up some more.
Here's Caitlin.
Happy Thursday.
Welcome to your session of grape therapy
Just kidding I hate happy Thursday
Is that what you came up with
That's the best you come up with
No
This is like one of the coolest things
Sean and I are just laying in bed in Hawaii
After a great sushi dinner
Yeah that was really good
It's delicious
We were like we could go for a walk
A romantic walk on the beach
Or we could podcast
That's right
You just yawned
Yeah
Well because it's like
Right now
It's like midnight our time.
More than that, man.
It's like 2 a.m.
Oh.
Well, anyways, it's like 2 a.m.
Nashville time, but it's island time, so stop complaining.
It's what they say.
Sean just tried to show me a sad video.
Actually, it was a happy video, but it involved a dog.
So naturally, I was crying.
I'm like, don't do this to me before I podcast.
So, Sean's not exactly into this bachelor season, which is fair.
Who really is?
Who really is is a great question.
Very valid.
Who really is?
You're right.
I'm just here to speak the truth and nothing but the truth.
So help you, God.
Yeah.
And I heard I haven't been missing much.
You haven't, and you're in the right place because grape therapy is obviously the safe space.
All right.
Where we talk about our feelings.
But let me just say, okay, we'll do a quick bachelor recap.
Definitely not going to be as entertaining as last grape therapy with Brie and her recap,
because, I mean, I love you, but Bree is funny.
Yeah.
Is my breath smell?
Yeah.
It does, doesn't it?
Yeah, I just got a huge whiff of that thing.
I could tell by your...
Are you being serious?
Yeah.
Oh, that's not nice.
I think there was your breath, right?
This came right across.
I don't know, but I, like, feel like I laughed.
I laughed, and then your face was, like, mortified, and now I'm fine.
You know what?
I'll just grab my grape therapy over.
here?
Mm-hmm.
And I'm going to turn in the opposite direction so I'm not breathing my dragon breath into your
face.
Running the mic near me.
Well, you know what?
Pick your battle, Sean B.
Do you want my breath and the mic, or do you want less air time?
I'll take your stank breath.
That was nice.
Okay, here we go.
We're going to try to make this quick.
So they go to Fort Lauderdale.
Is that in Florida?
Yes.
I'm Canadian.
I don't really know.
It is?
Yeah, big spring break destination.
Or it used to be back when I was in school.
Oh, okay.
Well, better than where I went on the show, Iowa, New Mexico.
So, Ari, to me, okay, I'm going to say a little like an Ari sandwich.
Okay, I'm going to start with something good.
I'm going to give them a little constructive criticism,
and I'll finish it off with something nice.
Or should I go the other way?
I don't know.
Should it be an inside-out sandwich?
Perfect.
I'm going to go, something he could work on, something nice, constructive criticism.
Okay.
So, hmm, something he could work on.
Not saying all the most bachelor-type things.
Like, wow, I really can't wait to see blah, blah, blah.
But it's been a hard week.
I can't wait to see the girls this week.
Like, everything he says is very produced.
Right.
Something great.
I think he really showed up this episode
This was an episode where I was like
Oh, all right, good to see you
Glad you have some conversation
And something to add to the conversation, great
Something he needs to work on
Don't play with every girl's hair
Okay
Cool, next
I heard he's the kissing bandit
Was that have to do with playing with hair?
I don't know, that's his thing, right?
Don't he grab people by the head and kiss him?
Oh yeah, but no, but he always does
Um, nobody can see me right now, but he always puts hair behind their ears when they're talking.
And I feel like he's dismissing all of their feelings.
Like, they're trying to have conversation and he's like, let me play with your hair.
Even though I do think that's romantic.
I would love if you play it in my hair.
But anyways.
All the time.
Uh, okay.
Chelsea is, gosh, I'm like going to feel terrible if this is not her name.
I'm pretty sure it's Chelsea.
She's really cute.
She's a mom.
Is my breath really affecting you?
No.
Oh, okay.
Okay. Okay. She's a really sweet mom. They went on this yacht date. Tell the people about the cheersing in Bachelor World.
What do you mean?
Like, you know how every scene, everybody has a drink, and then they're like, oh, do a cheers.
And you're like, if you guys are watching the show, you can realize how many cheers or toasts they do, it's every five minutes is like, oh, what would you like to toast to?
And then you have to say, ooh, blah, blah, blah.
around and everybody usually says what you're toast.
Actually, yeah, everybody will go around the circle.
Right.
But they never show it, right?
Are they showing it this year?
Yeah, I feel like there's a lot of toast this year.
They never showed ours.
We always had some good ones, too.
Oh, did you?
I had some great ones, I thought.
But maybe your great, give me two of your best toasts.
The last one, the final one that I did the toast, when it was just down to the final two, remember?
Oh, yeah.
It was really good.
Oh, yeah, that was good.
Yeah.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
No, I do. It was about family. It was great. I really loved it. Yeah. Um, okay, so Chelsea, she's a mom. She's super attractive, mysterious, great features, really sweet. I would really like to know which producer told her to say, I'm on a dream boat with a dream boat guy.
Todd.
Tag. Todd? They was Todd. She was on a yacht with him.
Yeah.
You know what, Chelsea, don't you feel like you're on a dream boat with a job?
with a dream man right now.
This is Sean being a producer, go.
You know, Chelsea.
You know, Chelsea, I mean, just look around you right now.
Don't you feel like, come on,
you kind of feel like you're on a dream boat with a dream man, right?
And then she's like, ha-ha-ha-ha.
And then they're like, say, yeah, say, that's it.
I feel like I am on a dream boat with my dream man.
And then they're like, great.
That was gold.
Anyways.
I do really like Chelsea.
I thought, first of all, this is really hard because Sean is not invested in the season.
I'm not invested, but I'm watching every episode.
And so I have things to say, but Sean's kind of-
Can I see why I'm not invested?
Sure.
Okay, this is a safe place, right?
Yes.
Judgment free?
Yeah.
My thing is, what am I supposed to root for with Ari as the Bachelor?
What were you rooting for with Nick?
He had a better storyline than Ari.
You're hoping he finds love because he's been dumped multiple times on TV.
So it's like finally he'll find his forever after, right?
Right.
Ari's a 36-year-old man who was on the bachelor five years ago who comes from a wealthy racing family.
It's like, oh, what are you rooting for?
Fair.
I want something like Chris Sewells, the small town guy, farmer, he wants a wife to ring back to the farm.
Sean Lowe, all-American guy, super down to earth, nice, bird.
Virgin. Born again. Born again. You're rooting for everybody. Ben, he was unlovable.
What were you rooting? You broke his heart. Yeah. What do you room for with Ari?
What did you root for with me? What do you mean? What did I root for it? What was I? What was rootable?
You were the small town Canadian, relatable, genuine girl that people could relate with.
I mean, tell me, what's his story? I haven't seen it. Like, what's his line? Emily broke his heart.
Heart 12 years ago.
Oh, I'm sure he's been doing terrible since the Bachelorette.
Depends what article you read.
But I want to root for something.
Maybe, maybe this season we're rooting for the girls.
Because I started off watching tonight, and I was like, oh, these girls are ball.
And then I'm like, at the end, I actually really like a lot of the girls.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
Sean really likes Tia, because her last name is Booth.
That's my horse.
I love Tia.
A big Tia booth guy.
I'm a big Tia booth guy, too.
She needs to leave now.
She's too good for her.
It's making a bachelor.
Yeah, exactly.
So let her go further.
She can't go now.
She's going to be a bachelor.
But right?
Don't you see what I come from?
I think he's like the one bachelor where you have nothing to root for.
And it's not like we just watch him get his heartbroken.
It's a tough season.
It's a really tough season.
He's probably broken up with the girl that he picked.
No.
Well, we don't know.
I don't read spoilers.
I hope you don't.
Do you think I read spoilers?
I'm saying I don't see him lasting very long with his final person.
If he has a final person.
Is he genuinely, do you think he's genuinely there looking for love?
It's hard to say because I really do feel like every season you will feel like they are.
They wouldn't pick, you know, it's the producer's job to make the lead role look good and for people to root for them.
So no matter if he is genuine or isn't, we're going to see the side that.
seems like he is right yeah they're not yeah so chelsea um she was very brave i thought to admit that she
fell so she has a little boy and so he asked about her previous relationship and she said
honestly i was 20 um i didn't come from much and i fell into a world where he swept me off my feet
and he was like successful and i thought i was living a dream life but really there's no love i thought
that was really brave of her to admit that um and how she didn't know who she was at
20, and she probably learned a lot about true happiness just from going through that breakup
because now she's like, I'm so rich for having a healthy boy who loves me.
Yeah, I agree with you.
Are there any, like, crazy ex-boyfriends coming on to the scene?
No, nothing yet.
Interesting, right?
I think this might be the first season where there's not an ex-boyfriend.
There's always an ex-girl, ex-boyfriend, something that comes along.
We were dating, and then they're like, see my FaceTime, too.
Right?
So they went bowling on a group date.
Here's where it gets interesting.
That's a cool group date.
How was it set up?
Here's where I finally feel like the show.
I was like, okay, here we go.
Some drama, some real talk.
There was a lot of real conversation that went on in this episode.
What do you mean?
How is the bowling date?
That sounds cool.
How was it set up?
Ten pins.
Oh, yeah, thanks for that.
I'm saying, like, what, everybody on their own, who wins?
It's a group versus two teams.
So it starts with Ari
Licking a bowling ball.
Oh, God.
Is that the Big Lobowski?
Is that from the Big.
The Big Loboskey's awesome.
Yeah.
Doesn't he lick a bowling ball
or isn't there something about...
Yeah.
Or maybe you're thinking of...
What's that one with Woody Harrelson?
That movie's so good.
Hmm.
So good.
But there's something...
Like, when he licked the bowling ball,
I was like, that's disgusting,
but I also know this is from a movie,
so I'm not judging too much.
I can't remember.
Probably.
He licked a bowling ball.
I don't care.
He's the kissing bandit.
He's put his lips on everything.
Bowling balls?
Why not?
That is grosser than licking poo off a shoe.
No, it's not.
Yes, it is.
That is not even close.
Did you know the number one thing found under fingernails are feces and cocaine?
Yeah.
And how many?
I didn't know about cocaine.
Yes, those are the two top things found under fingernails.
Now, that goes into bowling ball hourly.
Okay.
He didn't put his finger inside of the hole.
Or what was he licking?
He was licking inside of the hole?
No.
Was there a kickette in there?
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
Way to like, yeah, that's good.
That's good.
But yeah, he liked a bowling ball.
Okay.
It was gross.
Either way, it was gross.
I was like, okay.
It's already gross enough watching someone like make out.
Then you add licking bowl and balls.
Kind of not.
Anyways.
So the context was there's two teams, there's a pink team and the blue team, bowling for Ari's love.
Right.
And the blue team won.
How?
They just did like 10 pin.
Oh, they were crushing it.
Oh, awesome.
Yeah, they were crushing it.
Totally deserved to win.
The pink team obviously bummed out.
They already did the whole like, whoever wins this competition gets to spend the night with me, which is such bullshit because that's produced.
like he doesn't okay so I just think back on to my season
the Aladdin date yeah oh whoever won
who had the best voice
got to spend the rest of the night with me
the rest of the guys were like cool we're here to find like a girl that we get to
know and we just like oh because we don't have a good voice we get to be sent home
welcome to the bachelor's cut throw yeah that's easy
anyway so Ari decides to be a nice guy and say you know what
we're all going to go out and have more
time tonight well crystal oh you show me this part yeah yeah crystal was not having that
but we find out why later which you didn't see so blue team pink team pink team loses blue team wins
already decides to be nice have everybody go crystal loses her mind because you know when you
like sometimes when we argue we find out the real problem like hours later
And we're like, oh, that would have been nice to just know from the beginning.
Yeah.
This is what happened.
The whole bowling day, blah, blah.
Crystal's ex-boyfriend was a bowling ball.
Murder.
Bad memories.
And she was really upset.
Look it.
She thought that she bowled so good, in spite of her ex-boyfriend being a bowling ball.
Tell me the producers did not put Crystal on this bowling ball date for this reason.
So we find out later, Crystal's pissed that Ari decides to bring
Everybody along.
She's addicted the bowling balls.
Beam, let me talk.
Crystal's mom worked at a bowling alley her all life.
She was young.
And had multiple men come in and out of her life that didn't keep a promise.
Oh, oh, man.
I'm not laughing at that situation.
No, no, no, we're laughing.
I'm laughing that they, like, tied that into the show being like, let's go bowling and then let's have Ari tell her that.
Just think about it.
Yeah, that's so.
In Fort Lauderdale, bowling is their option?
That's insane.
Fort Lauderdale is, like, beautiful, and they're in Florida,
and they go bowling for Crystal's crazy side to come out.
Yeah, and you also know that Crystal told them about this probably 15 times in the interview process.
Through the therapist process.
And they're like, oh, okay.
Yeah.
How do we tie in bowling and then have her show her true colors?
Bowling, Allie.
Bowling anyone
So is Crystal's like the
The quote unquote villain this season?
Yeah
Why?
Because she has a good connection with Ari.
You don't get mad at somebody
Over bowling
When it's new to the relationship
But there's nothing normal about the situation they're in
I love this banter
I love the back and forth, you know?
I'm like
Yeah, it's good
I'm killing it today.
It's good.
Tell everybody how funny I am.
You're pretty funny.
No, but in Hawaii.
You're funny in Hawaii?
We were just talking about this at dinner.
Just making everybody laugh.
You were funny.
We sat next to a table of like 75-year-old retirement people.
It's like a dad jokes all day.
And they were like, oh, you're all you guys going to have the chairs back to your table.
And Sean was like, no, we just got to find some friends.
And they were like, you could have the two chairs back at your table.
Well, now I said, thanks.
Now we just got to go find two friends.
And it landed.
I mean, these men laugh for like 30 seconds and then laughed on their way out the door
and then looked back and laughed some more.
And Sean was like, I'm funny.
Anyways.
I just want to dissect this just a little bit.
But you're trying to say, like, who gets mad at this?
But you know, you completely get it.
Who gets mad when a girl gets picked to go to big and rich concert,
and you don't?
I was more heartbroken and sad than man.
Right?
But no, I get it.
When you get a rose, when a guy gets a row at the Guinness factory and then you do after you've had 18 guineesses.
You know, it happens.
It happens on the Bachelorette.
I know.
I understand and they have to have a villain.
But it's just like.
And what's the, her voice, people make fun of her voice, which is so.
I'm over that.
And I think, you know what?
I've actually seen people back off since I was really excited.
The first thing I opened on Twitter just like 10 minutes ago,
that was the main headline was people hate Crystal's voice with her picture on it.
Gosh, that's sad. Gosh, I said she must be having actually a really hard time.
Look it.
It's the main thing on Twitter.
Oh, my gosh.
Read it, what does it say?
Why are Bachelor fans making fun of Crystal's voice?
That is heartbreaking.
And it's her face.
Because you know what?
And we talked about this on the last one.
It's like, yeah, she's not the most favorite.
it. People aren't love
and Crystal, but don't make fun of her voice.
Why is that I mean? Anyways.
My main point of this
is you don't give up on a man
that you
quote unquote love or care about
and vice versa. You don't give up on
a woman because
they're trying to please a
crowd in an uncomfortable situation.
So apparently Crystal went on a
bus and said like Ari's a liar,
he went back on his word,
and then she packed her bags
and then she said oh he's a liar
and then she was like
I'm packing my bags I'm going home
and I'm not coming to the rose ceremony or the group date
whatever then she showed up
and Becca was like oh you showed up
after you said you're going to are you a liar too
it was great banter
I don't know I know you're still going on
I know but you're just biting your nails
it was good banter
how did that situation end
because you made sure to show me before I went running
Well, Ari went down to speak to, he was like, oh, where's Crystal?
And she wasn't there.
I hated that his first reaction was to leave all of those girls and go down to her.
Why?
Crystal decided not show up and called him a liar.
Yeah.
He shows up at the cocktail party.
Yeah.
And he's like, we're all here.
And they're like, actually, we're not.
Crystal's not here.
And he's like, why?
What happened?
And they're like, well, she decided not to come.
She called you a liar and said that she's packing her bags.
and he's like, oh, let me go talk to her.
Well, yeah, you got to address the situation.
I would address it last.
No, you wouldn't have.
Yes, I would have.
You would have addressed it, too.
You're right.
He likes her a lot.
He does?
Yeah.
So he wouldn't address it.
But I actually felt like that was the first time Ari showed up for this season.
He was like, you know, I'm going to let you stay down here, and I'm kind of pissed.
Putting the hammer down?
He put the hammer down.
But his first word...
Like I said, I left the room and I go,
I guarantee you that this girl gets the final rose of the night.
She does keep thinking she's the only one there.
Does she have the final rows of the night?
I don't know because they don't send me the rose ceremonies.
Oh.
I get the copies in advance and I don't see the rose ceremonies,
so I know what people on home, but I don't know who went last.
What do you mean?
What?
This is a Bachelor recap.
I know who went home.
The Bachelor was on last night.
I didn't watch.
I watched my copy that they sent to me in emails.
Oh, Brie.
told you that she went, she got the final rose, right?
She got a rose. I don't know which one.
No, I think she said that the final rose or not.
Okay.
Well, anyways.
Let's take a quick break, shall we?
We shall.
If you're looking for a yummy alternative to a boring old hummus,
we're looking for something a little more interesting to snack on
with your favorite wines, Lantana Hummus,
has you covered.
Lantana brings thoughtful and bold flavor combinations
to the hummus category.
I'm talking from experience here.
They are stocked in my fridge.
I fell in love with them.
Their flavors like syracia carrot, sweet and spicy black bean.
My favorite is edamame with roasted red peppers.
And there's more.
Discover Lantern Hummus and Brighton every day.
Did I say it pairs perfectly with wine?
I think I did.
You can find Lantana Hummus at over 400 grocery retailers nationwide.
So look for the hummus with the striped lids in the deli.
Go to Lantana Foods.com to find Lantana Hummus.
at a grocery store near you
and coupons that help you save
Lantana.
Oh, that was just me.
That's not their thing.
We'll be right back
with more off the vine,

now back to off the vine grape therapy uh you know how i told you today i really like
becca with short brown hair becky with the long brown hair
hair.
Is that 20 like?
No.
Becky with a short brown hair.
I'm going to make up a rap song called that.
Becca?
Becca.
Becca with the short brown hair.
Yeah, she seemed cool.
She's awesome.
She's the youngest one.
She's 22.
That's awesome.
Man, if I was on that show when I was 22, I guarantee you we wouldn't be sitting in
Hawaii right now together.
You'd be a degenerate.
We'd be, I mean, 22.
But she is the most.
mature from what it seems like of the whole group yeah so she have a bachelorette qualities yeah
yeah i would love to see her as a bachelor too young yeah yeah i doubt she'll be the bachelor just because
she's so young but also at the same time she really is she's more mature than i am yeah you're not you're
pretty immature well it's why you love me uh but she really has like he's the one that keeps having
these concerns she's like oh my god what putting the mat together she's 22
and he's like 36 or 37?
42.
42.
I'm just kidding.
He's 36.
36.
Which is,
I said in the last podcast,
I said that's just as concerning
as her being 22.
The fact that he's 36,
babe,
the fact that he's 36 and single
can be just as concerning to her
as it is that she's 22.
Oh yeah.
If I were her,
I wouldn't want him.
If I was a 22-year-old,
I'm like, I don't want this 36-year-old man,
right?
Would you?
Depends.
Okay.
it depends on everything i'm all about age is a number right like no don't say that
free and i just said in the last podcast that we hate that is age just a number well once you get
past a certain number it doesn't really matter but i mean i will say that 22 year olds are
usually very immature yeah but you said she's not exactly so then it doesn't matter for her i agree
i actually think it's more of a concern for her than it should be for him yeah like she shouldn't
be with him.
Like, she should be more concerned that he's 36 and like...
Yeah, she should be like, dude, I'm out of here, bro.
Well.
Like, I am figuring out my shit.
I'm 22.
I'm a badass chick.
I got a lot of stuff coming on now.
Like, I got big opportunities ahead of me.
I got flat tummy tea to sell.
I got sugar bear hair.
I am just got my whole life ahead of me.
Like, thanks for the fun times.
But she really cares about him.
Yeah, maybe.
Anyways, Bachelorette qualities, is all I'm saying.
Tia.
Yeah, Tia, if he doesn't end up with her.
His kissing noises, I'm going to barf.
I watched, I told you, there was like two weeks ago.
I was home by myself, and I was flipping through the channels,
and I flipped through and as a bachelor, I'm like, oh, let me see what's going on here?
And it was him making out with one of the ladies,
and I immediately had to change it back to impractical joker.
because I was just like, oh.
I'm like, is the kissing bandit title getting to his head
or are they just like cranking up the volume on the kissing noises?
My mesophonia can't handle it.
Yeah, what is it?
But I was like, man, did it look that nasty when we were kissing on TV all the time?
I don't know.
You want to go back and watch?
Nope.
Uh-uh.
Actually, that can be a confession.
Do we do confessions in grape therapy?
Yeah.
I bawled my eyes out watching videos.
So that's the other day.
You just yawned when I said that.
You actually started a...
It's like 2.30 my time.
You always have excuses.
Fine, I won't confess.
So then he had a date with one-on-one with Tia.
Yeah.
Hoo-hoo, who, who, who, who, who.
We love Tia.
Hoo-hoo, who, who, who, who, who.
So Tia is Raven's best friend.
Tia's last name is Booth.
Yeah, Tia B.
But I call her Tia B.
Do you?
Yeah, Tia B.
She went on a date with him, and it was so cute because, okay, so she's from Arkansas,
and she's got, like, the total southern accent.
Is she Arkansas?
She's Arkansas, but she's also, like, really funny.
She's kind of sweet.
And so they were talking about, oh, no, actually, I lost her.
So, babe, so they were going on a little boat, and there's alligators in the water.
you would have lost your mind.
I've loved it.
You're terrified of alligators.
No.
I was showing you last night a 17-foot crocodile,
and you were saying it was cute.
It was cute.
Anyways, he said this.
This is what I'm talking about with.
He says the most typical, like, produced Bachelor things.
There's an alligator, and he goes,
you know, looking over, just reminded me that,
just like alligators, love is scary.
And I was like, oh, go.
Yes.
And I was waiting for him to, like, laugh or something.
I was like, oh, God.
That's what I'm saying.
What is there to root for?
He's saying very typical bachelor things like, I don't know.
I don't even know how to start.
Anyways, but Froggin.
Do you know what Froggin is?
No.
So, Tia is from Arkansas.
Froggin is something that this guy was explaining.
You pull over to a ditch
And like
You see a frog
And you stab it with a prong
What
This is not something to tell a vegan
Vegan
Plant-based includes frogs
Okay so then I was thinking
I'm like I could totally
I could get down with frogging
It's like a culture
For the people
There was this part of the date
No, they're just talking about it
But anyways, I remembered when we went fishing
And you thought I was like
A heartless bitch for bopping a fish on the head
When we went fishing
Yeah, I like salmon
I'd like to eat salmon
So when I catch a salmon
Well, yeah
I caught a salmon
And I wanted to freeze it
So I had to bop it over the head
Anyways, I loved Tia
But I just like, she really
Do, get a load of this
she dropped the first F-I-L bomb
Falling in Love
Oh boy, early, huh?
Very early
It was the first one-on-one
It's super early
And she said, I'm falling in love with you
And she looked him in the eyes
But she also said, I can't even look him in the eyes
Whatever, I just fuck, I can't sometimes
But she's so cute
She said that
Can you believe it?
No
But I actually feel like he's the
Like watching Ari with Tia
I'm like, oh, oh, he actually has conversation with her
Nice.
Anyways, I'm a big Kendall guy.
I'm a big Becca guy.
Kendall called out.
This is so hard to talk to you about this because you haven't watched.
I just look at you with, like, dead eyes, and I'm like, yeah.
Listen, I'm here for moral support, like you told me.
I'm adding my input.
It's so hard.
Well, everybody listening watches, so just keep doing you, girl.
Oh.
Thanks, bro.
Thanks, dad.
okay here are my closing notes
I really like Becca
and Kendall
Kendall is very well spoken
she's very reasonable with Crystal being like
hey I don't like how you're coming across
I'm a person who enjoys
kindness and you calling
him a liar like I'm being protective
she's very mature even though she's
a taxidermy and like collects like that I'm also
you probably wouldn't like her but
I'm a big Kendall guy
I'm a huge
Becca I don't remember
her last initial guy, short hair, betty boob.
She's very confident for 22.
She's very sweet.
She's very level-headed.
She's intelligent.
Really like her.
Hope she goes far.
Get her on the old P-cast, you know what I'm saying?
I sure will.
Who else?
Crystal definitely rubs me the wrong way, but I don't like to hate on anyone.
Yeah.
I actually...
I genuinely like her voice.
I'm like, hmm, kind of wish I had that, like, sexy raspy thing going on.
Kind of like her voice.
Nice.
But she does rub me the wrong way.
But at the end of the day, is it editing?
Is she rubbing me the wrong way?
Who knows?
Yeah, maybe she doesn't rub you the wrong way.
Maybe she rubs you the right way.
You want to rub me the right way?
Go away now.
You're an awesome.
That's so bad.
And my last closing note is that the three people who left this episode
I was like, I didn't even know you were there.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I didn't even know they were there.
Except for, poor Miguel, her freaking grandpa died.
She goes home and comes back to be sent home.
Oh, so she got told during the show that her grandfather passed away and she left.
Came back and got sound.
Did he say you need to go home and be with your family right now?
No, no, no.
She just decided.
Oh, she came back and she left on her own?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Good for her.
Yeah.
That's talking about an emotional.
talking about
let's try this for the third time
talk about an emotional roller coaster right there
that time nice that's tough
yeah with all the emotions going on in the bachelor
itself yeah
so anyways that happened
so scrape therapy
what are you doing
oh my gosh
Sean Christopher Booth
what keep going
can I please
I can't I can't even tell everybody what you just
I just did.
I can't.
I was trying to make you laugh.
Well, you, you, chalk valued me.
I can't even think now.
I can't, you can't do that.
All right, all right.
Put that down.
Put it down.
So, in last week's episode, we did a little confessing.
We did, I tweeted out to the people to ask us some relationship advice.
Stop yawning.
Here we go.
Ready?
Yeah.
Wow, you sound ready.
Oh, I am ready, babe.
Oh, okay, babe.
My girlfriend, Alexis Finley, wants to know.
What do you guys do when you crave different types of food for dinner?
Honestly, this is probably the most intense part of my relationship, to be honest.
Well, everywhere you go has multiple options.
So whether you're looking for something, you can always get something else.
I don't, she's not talking about going out for dinner, like staying home and cooking.
Oh, yeah. Well, we're lucky because we always typically, like, mostly the same things.
Or we just cook for ourselves. Or...
I know. It's so sad, though. We do usually cook for ourselves.
We don't usually. We do. No.
Well, you don't eat as much as I do. Like, I'm eating.
Nobody eats as much as you do.
Yeah.
Nobody.
But for the most part, we can...
Yeah. No, we're pretty different with that.
Yeah.
But no main meals.
This is riveting.
Yeah.
Basically, let's just sum this up.
Okay, we both like salads.
We both like eating healthy.
If we go out to dinner, there's options.
We both like salads, but we go out to dinner like tonight.
We both had sushi.
I just had veggie rolls.
Mm-hmm.
And you had regular rolls.
Again, riveting.
I mean, pretty.
Rich and compelling.
Do you believe, this is from Allie Mack 33,
do you believe you should never go to bed?
Mac Daddy.
Do you believe you should never go to bed angry?
Or do you think a good night's rest helps?
Yeah, I like to just, if we're in the middle of a conversation,
and it's turning south, start to get to a little bit of an argument.
I like to pump the brakes and turn off the lights,
turn off the old mine, and go to bed and wake up.
and hopefully just forget it.
It all happens.
I do too, unless it's the daytime.
If it's the day and we're arguing, I want to get through it.
If it's night, I'm like...
Well, of course, because you're not just going to go to bed.
Yes, I do.
That's the whole point is, would you go to sleep at night?
Oh, well, I just sleep so often during the day with naps that I was confused there.
But I think it's a lot of people swear by solving your problems before you fall asleep, right?
Yeah.
A lot of people would say, don't.
don't go to bed angry.
Yeah.
I'm opposite.
It's not realistic.
I'm totally fine with going to bed angry because...
But we're both stubborn because we're not going to, like, solve a fight and then be like,
okay, let's go to bed now.
Yeah.
And more often, I do feel like that I wake up with a little more of a clear mind in the
morning than if I was heated at night.
Yeah.
Plus, it gives me, like, an additional six hours to figure out how I'm going to solve this.
Oh, yeah, you big problem solver in this relationship.
Well, I'm saying I get an extra six hours.
Oh, yeah, what do you do?
What do you do in those six hours?
Do you do your Shambuth meal plans and work out
and not think about the relationship at all?
Yeah.
Taylor Russo, how do you move on from...
Russo or Russo?
I don't care.
How do you move on from...
I'm going to go with Russo.
There's two S's.
Yeah, it's Russo.
What are you?
Sto.
Not Russo.
I don't...
Who is it?
Taylor?
is lucky I'm reading her question, okay? Taylor R.
Let's get a...
No, let's not. Taylor R.
How do you move on from someone...
This isn't even for us.
Well, it is for us, but not like, you know.
How do you move on from someone who you know isn't the one for you, but you really love so much?
The distance is a huge strain and the timing is very off, but I'm scared I won't find
that same feeling with someone else.
I'm 24, by the way, for reference.
Taylor R.
Run for the Hills.
Taylor Rousseau, if it is that person you love so much,
then you'll do whatever it is to make it work.
And I think, like you said,
you just seem like you're a little nervous
and you're a little scared, which is completely normal.
But I say you give it a shot.
You're young.
You're 24.
Call it quits.
End it amicably.
And then go on with your life.
And if down the road,
you're still having that passion and that love
and you want to meet up with them
and the fireworks are still there.
And it's meant to be, you know?
You got to let it go.
Are you Oprah?
If it comes back to you, then it's meant to be.
All right, Rousseau, and yeah, let me know how that goes.
But right now, go and do your thing and tweet me in a few years
and let me know if you've moved on or you're...
Cliff Notes.
That was good at that.
That was terrible.
Terrible.
I already forget what you said.
said it was so drawn out.
That was not drawn out.
She was saying she doesn't love the guy.
Move on.
Read it again.
She was saying that she loves him.
How do you move on from someone you know isn't the one?
Oh, but you really love.
Oh, okay.
Exactly.
If it's the one you really love, then why would you move on?
You make it work.
Maybe timing's an issue.
I get that.
But, yeah, you know what?
I say move on.
Go see other people.
people and see how you're feeling.
If you're still having those same feelings, then try and make it work.
But if he's not having those feelings, then that means it's not meant to be.
That's true.
It has to be mutual.
Caitlin Ritchie asks, how do you find a guy who isn't intimidated by you and your confidence?
How do you guard your heart to avoid getting hurt?
If he's intimidated by you and your confidence, then say see you later, pal and go find myself a man.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah.
She deserves a man.
You're not intimidated by my confidence.
No, I like it, but I'm not intimidated by it.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Or do you have to just let it down at some point in risk being hurt?
Have you ever experienced this feeling?
P.S., I love you three, and doodle.
Who's the fourth person?
Like is it bad?
What? No, it's here just in your head.
We're talking about my breath again.
Okay, so you're not intimidated by my confidence, is what you're saying?
Babe, we're helping.
Yeah, she said, how do you find a guy who isn't intimidated by you and your confidence?
Yeah, okay.
How do you find a guy that isn't?
You just keep doing, yeah, you don't worry about actually finding him.
You just keep being yourself, and then you're going to track the guy who's right for you and your confidence.
And if he is intimated, Sean just gave himself like that, oh, yeah, that was good.
But if he is intimidated by it, I think that's totally fine as long as he communicates it.
He's like, man, your confidence is intimidating?
You don't want a guy who's intimidated by you.
We're going to have very different answers through this whole segment.
You want a guy who's going to be able to match your confidence and respect your confidence and be turned on by your confidence.
I do agree with that.
Oh, yeah, all right.
Yeah, as long as his intimidation does not override the, okay, Sean is now walking around in his,
undies
pumping out his chest
oh my gosh
let's not ask on these questions
I enjoy these questions
I enjoy these questions
keep him going
okay we need to keep this shorter
find a man
who is not okay he can be
intimidated but as long as he respects it
and enjoys it more
I said that yeah but I'm gonna
you're just taking things that I said
yes but I'm shortening them
because you drag out a story
No, babe.
I'm just giving detailed answers.
Are we going to get more doggies?
That's a very complicated question.
It is.
I'm moving on for that one.
Oh, that's how we got.
It's late.
Gosh.
Anyways, we're in Hawaii.
We're tired.
