And I was like, yeah, I'm going to the women's section. And he was like, oh, gosh. He like knew as soon as I said that, he's like, oh, shoot. Like, I'm dressing like a girl tonight. And he did. And he owned it. Oh, owned it completely. Okay, tell me what his outfit was.

He wore a cheetah print skirt. Amazing. And then like a green little, kind of like a grandma's top. Like a blouse? Uh-huh. But it was like a sweater, like a knit. Oh, like a knit. Mm-hmm.

Yes. A knit. A knit blouse. And then he had a cheetah skirt or a cheetah purse. Oh, wow. To carry all his stuff. Can never have too much cheetah. He kind of looks like an old lady going to church.

Oh, old lady's going to church wear short cheetah skirts? Except that. It was long on him, though. It was like church on top party on the bottom. Yeah. It was like Saturday night meets Sunday morning. Oh, I like it. It was a little transition if you wanted to go from like your Saturday night into your Sunday morning.

Exactly. Yeah. Oh, that's practical. I like that. Okay. Yeah. And then I was in a full on suit, but he made the jacket had like polka dots in the inside and so I had to wear it outside.

Was it trendy? I looked like a pimp. Oh, nice. P-I-M-P. I was like, Pimp Daddy in the house? Did you keep your Pimp-Han strong? Did I what?

Keep your Pimp hand strong? Yeah. What's a Pimp hand? I don't know. I think Snoop Dog made that up. Oh. Gotta keep your Pimpan strong. You know when you're like, that's actually pretty terrible because I think it's for slapping

women as a pimp. This went south. Yeah, I immediately regret. let's get back to the romance show me yeah back it up rewind here yeah but i knew i was like okay this guy better not be like he can't be like quiet or reserved because this date's just going to be a disaster if he is yeah he like oh he's ready oh good yeah oh so he's a good time he's a great you're keeping me on my toes because you're like something happened after the date i know so i'm like what could have okay well i'll start with this the date was amazing

Amazing. Yeah. Better than date number one. It was better. Oh. It was better. What was the first guy's name again? Jared.

Jared? Jared. Yeah. I keep wanting to say John because it's like John and Mark. I know. It's like a bunch of. My name is too. Whenever I go up, the people always out, there's John Jacob Jeklheimershman.

Yes. Love that song. Great tune. Yeah. Okay. So, oh, I hope Jared isn't listening. He might be. He probably will.

Well, Jared, you know, that's just the name of the game with some dates go better than others. It doesn't mean that he's a better man than you. And at the end, I pick two more. Yeah. I picked two. So Jared could be in the final two. And Jared, this is what you signed up for. I'm counting him out.

Because sometimes it's, this is about you finding love and it's about your connections. Mm-hmm. And you can't fight the connection to Mark. I know. As I like to say it, me and Mark had a spark. Ah, the Mark's spark. The Mark's spark. I like that.

smart i said smart did i too i don't know the mark spark that's hard to say it is sparky mark sparky sparky sparky spark and the funky bunch that's you're too young i'm sorry you're too young marky mark in the funky bunch it was mark walberg back when he had a band okay oh my gosh so the date has just got really well so you had a great date to set the bar and you're like wow if dates are like just as good as that i'm in luck and it got better, which is tricky. Yeah, it's tricky. For the old heart. Oh, shoot. What if they keep getting better? Oh, my gosh. I know. Okay, so you're like really, you're really feeling Mark. Really feeling Mark. So he was all game for the leopard print

Saturday night into Sunday morning outfit. Yep. He picked out yours. My pimp outfit. Your pimp outfit. Uh-huh. And then we hit the town. So we went and got milkshakes. Oh, you really hit the town. And then we hit the town. We shared a milk. shake. Wow. I'm lamerer than I thought. Get down with your bad self. Was there a cherry on top?

Crazy. I hope there's no. Oh, nope. Settle down. Okay. Sorry. I'm getting too.

I'm just obsessed with them. I know. Yeah. Where were we? You guys were out. There was a lot of stairs. He was in a skirt. Yeah. Please continue. Um, okay, so got milkshakes turned up. Um, and then, I'm just good. So turned. People watching this are probably going to think

we were like wasted. Really? Then we did karaoke. Okay. I feel like karaoke was when his true self came out. Oh, it very much came out. Like, and his dance moves. His friends. So that's a different story. I'll tell you how he got on the show, but we facetimed his friends. Okay. And they were like, you have to, you can't in the night without seeing him dance. And when I saw him dance, I was like, oh, shoot. Like, he said he liked to dance, which I was like, yes, I love when a guy. But he's good. Oh, my gosh. He was like tearing up the dance floor. I was like, okay, Mark, I see you. I love it. I know. Sparky Mark, he's got moves. He's got a good attitude and he's got a good sense of humor. Is he cute? Yeah, he's cute. You were attracted to him?

he was cuter dressed as a male okay but and there's chemistry yeah we had a lot in common we both worked a chick fillet nope well that's like and we both would talk in accents like because me and my friend would always talk in accents like in the drive-thru to people and he did too and we both worked in radio like oh my gosh you guys are actually meant to be i said this about the last guy every guy you're going to be like how did we find him for you how did he apply so his friend her name's Kayla yeah she listens to your podcast hi Kayla she doesn't she doesn't live here though and she just told him hey send me a video of like you telling about yourself blah blah blah and he was like why and she was like just trust me didn't even say what it was for what she was doing and then he like

got the email and she told him and she was like this girl was on Caitlin's podcast you all would literally be perfect for each other oh my gosh go on a date with her and so then we did and so he was like let's FaceTime them so we did and I was like thanks for signing him up. Oh my gosh. I can't believe that out of like this whole thing that we've found two guys that have been great. Yeah. What? I know. I'm like, should the rest be great or no, because then it's just going to get harder if they're great. That's what makes good ratings. You know I'm all about the good ratings. But that, okay, you know how I said last time it says a lot about a guy of what they order to eat? It says even more about a guy what he chooses as his karaoke song. Oh. What was his

go-to karaoke? So we did a duet. Please tell me you did Cheryl Crow and Kid Rock? No, but picture. Yeah. Yeah, good one. I put your picture away. Sit down and cried a day. My favorite part of that song is where she's like,

The reading nuts. I know. It's all raspy and she means it. Oh, you're right. You damn nuts. Let's go sing karaoke. Okay. But we did Don't Stop Believe in.

It's just a crowd pleaser. Yeah. Did you read your crowd? They all, you, they were loving it. Especially in your costumes. Oh, my gosh. They were, they already were like heads were turning when we walked on the stage. And then we started and it was like, where did you go? Wild Beaver. Oh, yeah, duh. The Wild Beavskis. Wild Beavs.

That sounds like a Canadian bar. Okay, confession, that's where me and Jared rode bowls. Oh, shit. You went back to the scene of the crime? We did. No. You double dip. Because it's just so easy. It's like, and it's not a stick. I know.

And it was the same girl. And I was like, is she going to recognize me on a date with a different guy? Yeah, you've got cameras following you. But I don't know if she did. I mean, I looked like a dude. So maybe she didn't. Oh, that's true. Oh, my gosh, that's so funny.

So you're saying, don't stop believing at the wild beaver. Where you also rode a bull with another man the night before. Yeah. dress as a man. Okay. Maybe like every day it needs to end at wild beaver. Maybe it does. Maybe that needs to be your thing. Do you accept my wild beaver? But then you leave. Oh, God. Sorry. I like, I like do better. Now I know your like grandma listens and like your parents and I'm like, oh, I take the back. You're like, sorry. Sorry. I met my Furby. Okay. Does he check off all the lists? He does.

Like, I just got a week to go. So, like, I'm on due to Instagram as well.

Oh, yeah. I stocked you. You only have, like, three photos. Okay, but it's not, it's quality of a quantity. No, I actually remember looking and thinking I love that this guy is not an Instagram guy. I actually find that very endearing, and I love that about you. All right. All right.

I like this. I do. Do you know that it's, well, of course, you wouldn't know this, but you're going to find out. In my five-year plan is to not have social media. Really? Yeah. Interesting. How many followers do you have right now?

A lot. One point six million. But who's counting? Get down. But who's counting? A lot of people to let down. Well, yeah, but I'm going to really tear it up for the next five years on Instagram. Like a lot of money.

And like just, yeah, make bank. Yeah. And then people will be sick of me. Yeah, exactly. And people will be like, get this girl. off Instagram and I'll be like, fine, I'm out. Giving the people what they want. Yeah, and then I'll end it on a high note and then people will be left thing.

It'll be like a legend died kind of, you know? Well, if you really got rid of your Instagram, people would say that. They'd be like Caitlin Bristow is dead. People will be concerned. It'll be the talk of the town and then people forget about it a month later when the new Bachelorette comes out. It's just a big cycle. I'm getting used to that.

Hey, Mark, how old are you if you don't mind me asking? um 26 26 Blair you're 24 okay that's great okay I like that um and um we need nicknames for all the guys what what would we call Mark Spark Mark Spark Mark yeah I said Sparky Mark I mean I guess people call me Marky Mark like that's not really original See Blair didn't know who Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch was

Really? Yeah I was like she called you Sparky Mark and I was like oh Sparky Mark Mark and she was like one but we filled her in. Okay, yeah, Marky Mark. Mark Wahlberg, what a guy. Yeah, that's, I mean, not a bad person to be named after. Okay. I mean, that's like the only nickname I really had. I guess when I was little, um, my dad or like my cousin would call me Mark and Sharky, but I was like,

oh. Hey, Mark. It didn't stick, yeah. Do you remember what my nickname was when I was little? See if he was paying attention. Oh, he was. Oh, my gosh. It was boom, boom.

That was part of my confession. You guys are pretty cute. Did you confess to each other? Uh-huh. Oh, what was Mark's confession? His was that he one time, like, slept, walk and peed into the bathtub. Oh, classic. Yeah, mine was that my nickname was Boom Boom, Boom.

Because I sang a song called Boom Boom Boom, Man It Great to Be Crazy, and I passed gas a lot. So, boom, boom. Oh, my gosh. Wait, you and your family had a lot of made-up songs, and I really like it. No, that was a real song. Oh, that was a real song. You know what somebody did in their, oh, yeah, I know that song. I was reading on, I think it was my Facebook page or Instagram.

I can't remember. Somebody bought one of my scrunchies in their sleep. Oh, really? Yeah. That's funny. Mark, did you accept a do? So, okay. Oh.

No, she didn't offer me one. No, because here's the thing. Oh. Oh, so he did wear one. But we decided that we're not giving the dues out until the final guys. Yeah. Okay. Because if I give everyone a do, it would be like.

Like, what's the point? Oh, yeah, that's true. So, yeah, that's true. Okay, I like that. And I told him that. I was like, don't be paranoid if I don't give you a do. Okay. And Mark, what is your favorite thing about Blair?

I like that. She obviously doesn't really care what other people think because she, you know, we wore a crazy outfit and just, you know, much to have a good time. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, I like that too about Blair. Yeah, we got wild with the milkshakes. Yeah, Blair was like, so we have a good time. We hit the town and we got milkshakes.

I was like, you dirty dog. Oh, yeah. No, that milk shake plays is awesome. Oh, yeah, I've heard about it. Did you share one? No, I got my own. No, we got our own. Yeah, okay.

I mean, that would be like sitting on the same side of the booth. We're on a high budget, remember we got? Oh, right, $100 only. Would you guys ever... Goodwill was cheap, so I was like, that's true. That's true. Yeah. Would you guys ever sit on the same side of the booth?

We had to. Oh, for camera purposes. Yeah, it was pretty. I was, like, as soon as, oops. What? That's fine. I was being loud. That's okay.

Tucker's eating his bone, like, as loud as he possibly can in the corner. Wait, did we sit on the same side? Then the cameras went away and we stayed on the same side, so. Oh. I forgot. You forgot. I forgot if we were sitting on the same side or not. Okay, but let's say you guys went to a restaurant with no cameras.

Would you sit on the same side? No. No. I wouldn't. Well, Blair was really quick to say no, but Mark hesitated. No, I mean, I'm not. ever done that, I guess. Well, I think it's cute, though.

I'm not going to roll anything out, but it's not something I have done. I actually find it super romantic. People are always like, eh, that's so dumb. And I'm like, I actually love it. Or when like a girl sits in the middle of the truck, I think it's so romantic. Caitlin, I literally this morning driving to work, there was a truck and it was three people. And I was like, gosh, I love the middle seat. Yeah.

I literally had that thought this morning. You know what? I read minds. Just another podcast host and Mind Reader. Wow. That's what I do. Oh, well, there be. be a date number two?

We'll see. Mark, would you move? Not sure yet. That's all still up in the air. It depends on when I can find a place to live and then head on down there. February? I would love there to be. It just depends on timing.

Yeah. Well, I always say timing's everything, but the timing of you moving to Texas is quite terrible. Like, Blair was talking, not ideal. Blair was talking about the date and she just had this huge smile on her face and she was just seeing all these amazing things. And she was like, it was so good. And then she was like, but wait.

I was like, what? Did it, did an ex-girlfriend show up? Like, what happened? And then she's like, he got a job in Texas. And I was like, oh, ma'am, we're in Texas. Yeah. San Antonio. Okay, so that's where I had my first date on the show with Sean.

Okay. All right. But you have, you know, tips on places to go then? Well, they let us. I've never been there before. They let us kayak down the river, but we're the only people that have ever been allowed to do that. So if you could try and take Blair and do that, that'd be pretty important.

impressive. But I'll definitely send you. Yeah, I'll send you some recommendations. But, I mean, visiting is fun, going on trips. You know, you can still come back to Nashville. I can't believe you're moving. I know. It's very bitter, sweet. I love Nashville. Yeah. But it's just an opportunity I couldn't pass up for my career. So, yeah, no, I understand. Yeah, timing wasn't great on that. That's fair. And no, we won't get into what you do. I kind of know what you do, but we don't have to talk about that.

Okay, well, hopefully, hopefully I get to meet you. Hopefully there's date number two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and so on. All right. I like, or then just like straight to the, I will marry you guys, is what I'm saying. All right. Okay, well, I've heard just nothing but great things. I'm so happy you two met, and I really do wish you the best with your job, but hopefully Blair gets a job there, too, and that would be even better.

That'd be nice. That'd be nice. Appreciate it. Yeah. Thank you having me. Okay, and we'll talk to you soon. Thank you, Mark. Bye. All right. Sounds good. You guys. Bye. All right. One sec. Oftentimes, when something sounds too good to be true, it turns out that it actually is.
