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. We're on with OTV. Podcast One presents Off the Vine, Grace Therapy. Caitlin Bristow's going to answer your questions. Drink to your confessions and hear what you have to say about anything Bachelor. Let's shake it up some more. Here's Caitlin.

Mama B, Mama B, Mama B, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama B, Mama B, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama B. Killed it.

Good one, Mom. Thanks, I've been practicing. Oh, I wasn't recording. Oh, are you kidding? Yeah, I'm joking. Good thing, I was going to swear there for a minute. Oh, you should have. Fuck shit, balls, cock.

Caitlin! Gosh darn, stop that. I swore a lot last night during our game of crib. Crib, but... But we won. The girls beat the boys. Two out of three. And we weren't even playing for money, which we should have been.

We should have. I think we will from now on. I think we will from now on too. Okay, so I'm in the Okinawagon. My beautiful mom is here with me for the podcast. And I just love coming home for this month. of August. Everybody like looks forward to me coming home for the month of August just to see Instagram videos of you. Oh, well, I've been a little incognito. You have. No, I've been a little

shy. You're not shy. Well, I don't know why then. Well, maybe you're just not drunk enough. Hey, now. I have come back a little bit. But I just love being here. It's the most peaceful place I think on Earth. Jason, it was his first time being to the Okanagan, but we already talked about that on another podcast that he just is obsessed with it. And we're just having the best time that it's going by so fast and I'm sad and I don't want to eat. Too fast. And Raman loves it. Yeah, Raman is meant to be a lake pup.

Overprotective helicopter mom. Caitlin won't even let him in the lake anymore because of the blue, green algae that is apparently killing dogs over the world, all over the world. Our water is good. I know it doesn't have it, but I'm just psycho. Yeah. Well, you said it and you have a shirt to prove it. Yeah, I have two shirts. Three actually.

Oh. And a mug. Well, you should give one to me. says psycho. Okay. I will. I told Jason he's only allowed to call me psycho when I'm wearing the shirt. That's fair. That's the only time. Okay, I wanted to start the podcast off by confessing because we don't usually confess on grape therapy. Sometimes we do. But we are today because you are just a real treat. And the other day you said something and I said, mom, there's your confession. And I didn't get it. Mom, tell us what happened. Okay. What happened is

Uh, knowing Caitlin, uh, and Jason, we're coming, but Caitlin being a, do I call you a vegan? No, no, no, no. No, no. All the vegans will come after me. I'm not a vegan. I'm a, technically, I'm a pescatarian because I still eat fish. So, um, looking at our grocery list, trying to figure out what we're going to plan for menus. Wait. Cheers, by the way. Oh, cheers by the way. Oh, that was a terrible clue. Well, I have a cheap one. You have a good glass. Okay. Go on. Sorry. And yeah. Cheers. So we're planning the menu and I'm thinking, okay, fish. I know she likes halibut, salmon, tuna, yada, yada, yada. Yep. And then I said, okay, so we're going to have salmon when you get here.

And then I asked, apparently, a very dumb question. And I said, but you do eat chicken, right? And I was like, well, no, I'm a vegetarian. And you're like, oh, is chicken meat? No, well. You said it's chicken meat. You have the text to prove it, so. Is this chicken what I have, or is this fish?

I know it's tuna, but it says chicken by the sea. That was you. You had a Jessica Simpson moment. I have a JS moment, but the thing is that I... You still don't understand. I honestly thought that people didn't eat, like, red meat. but that chicken is white meat. So it's still meat.

All right. All right. I did. I mean, I laughed at that Jessica Simpson when she said that. You're like, what a moron. And then you asked if chicken was meat.

And then chicken of the sea. I had a chicken of the sea. What are eggs? What are eggs? It's poultry. It's poultry. So you eat eggs. Yes, I do.

Yes, you do. Okay, my confession, you don't know this yet. So last night, we were playing cards. The wine was flowing, and ramen had to go to the bathroom. He was tooting up a storm under the table. And so I took him out, and he would not go, but I knew he had to go. You blamed ramen for the toots. No, I didn't.

I toot it on my own and said it was me. But I was walking him, and we kind of got further away. And I was like, he has to go. I know he has to go. But then I was going to pee my pants, and I had to go to the bathroom so bad. No, no. Yep. So.

Oh, no, you didn't. Well, I was in a field. And so I just was like, you know what? I'm going to get him to go to the bathroom because he'll then smell my pee and pee on it. That's what dogs do. So I whipped my pants down and peed in the field. And then he went to the bathroom and we got to go to bed. Caitlin.

Well, what's wrong with that? That is, you can get arrested for that. Well, there was no cops that you know of. Maybe somebody has that on a video. I would die. I am dying. I mean, I could talk about it, but if there was a video, I would die. I can't believe you did that.

Can you really not believe I did that? Well, in your 20s, I believed it. I was just being a good dog mom. Oh, that's your excuse. I was just committing. Wow. If that came out, if there was a video of that or any photos, I would die. And speaking of that, comedian Whitney Cummings tweeted her own nude photo after someone blackmailed her, asking for money to not release it.

Which is so something I feel like I would do. Because it's brilliant. First of all, Jason and I have a kind of similar situation. And I'm not going to go into details because these people are just looking so hard for attention. But somebody said that Jason cheated on me. And all these girls came forward into my DM saying that Jason cheated on me at this event. And I'm like, well, I know he didn't. Like, one, he would never.

Two, he was with his mom and like all his friends. But they ended up trying to get money out of him for Venmo. So it's like a scam. And so this, so Whitney Cummins like, like jokes on. Those people, because they got it. She accidentally, and people could do this to me. I accidentally had a nip slip on my Instagram story and people took screenshots, but don't Google that, please.

Oh, God, can you Google that? I don't know. Which nip was it? Not my pierced nip. Oh, that would have been cooler. Wait, I'm Googling this. Caitlin Bristow. But isn't that so funny that she was like, look, sucker.

If you're going to try and get money out of me for this, I'm just going to put it out there myself and then they shut up. Good on her. Caitlin Bristow suffers wardrobe malfunction. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that was at that Emmys. Yep, no, we're good. We're good here.

Okay. We're golden except somebody might have some time screenshot at that end. No, no. No, no. Oh, what? Now I'm getting lost in the... What are you seeing? Just a picture of my cellulite butt, which is fine.

But there is back in the day when I was relevant, And paparazzi took my photo in Hawaii and they put a picture of my butt, which looks great. I thought it looked great. No, it looks great. It just has cellulite, but it doesn't mean it doesn't look great. I still think it looks great. Courtney Kardashian just put a photo out there talking about like how she has cellulite, which is so rare for a Kardashian to admit they're not perfect and to not have photoshopped photos because I truly believe they have a deal with paparazzi that the photo has to be edited and approved before it can go out. and I think like Courtney's really healthy she has I don't know how many kids and she works out

but when people are not going to ever realize that cellulite doesn't mean you're fat no I'm tiny have cellulite like cellulite is genetics and even right now I've put on a couple LBs which is fine again but I've cellulid on my stomach now I'm like god damn anyways I wonder if we'll ever get to the point where you don't have to acknowledge your cellulite in a photo Like, you know, if I, I put out a photo once when I had cellulite on my leg and someone was, and I, I did a caption. Like, you know, I really got upset when I saw this photo and I didn't want to put it out there, but screw it because I'm at this event called like she factor.

No, it wasn't she factor. Oh, gosh, I'm blanking on it and that person's going to kill me. Anyways, it was about like, empowering women. Yes. And I was like, why would I do anything about that? Why would I not post it? I'm not going to edit it out. But then somebody commented and said, what would be really beautiful is if you didn't

even have to acknowledge it. Yeah. And so Courtney Kardashian did this whole thing, which I totally respect. And she said she, like, loves her cellulite. Again, it's just going to, I wonder if it'll ever get to the point where we don't even have to acknowledge it. Well, we're talking about it. We shouldn't even talk about it.

No, we should. No, but we shouldn't talk about needing to acknowledge it. Well, I just, I'm just having conversation, mom, okay? That's what a podcast is for. This is what this is. All right. Good on you, Courtney Kardashian. Function of beauty never uses sulfates.

Brianna Sapp says, name three things that you are proud of Caitlin for. Her compassion. Okay.

Her tenacity. Okay. There's just so many to choose from. I know. How can I narrow it down to three? Three things you are the most proud of me for. How far you've come. Yeah.

Through all of this. And you've made good choices and you've admitted when you haven't. Yes. And you've encouraged people. who are maybe in a bad place to believe in themselves I'm most proud of oh here come the tears

you're so cute of how girls look up to you and that you want people to accept themselves for who they are yeah I do I really do I know honey I'm very proud of that thank you that's really nice this is like basically me just fishing for compliments

like these people didn't even ask the questions I'm just like What? No, what? I'm just kidding. And then the same person wants to know your three wishes for me. Oh, my three wishes. Of course, every mother for every one of their children is happiness.

Yes, I'm happy. Serenity. Serenity now, Jerry. What's that from? Seinfeld? Yes. Okay, I figured because you said Jerry. Serenity, that you are at total peace with yourself and where you're at.

Is anybody ever really at peace with himself? Because even I'm, I'm really at peace with where I'm at in life, so there's that. Yes. And I'm at some level of peace with myself, but I always feel like there's things I need to work on. Oh, well, there always are. I mean, if any of us think that there isn't, then we think we're perfect and there's no such thing. So, uh-uh, uh-uh. And the third thing would be love.

But I feel true love. And so I see, I see the things that I wish for you coming true. Destiny, Schaefer asks, what amazes you most about society nowadays? Oh my gosh. What amazes me most about society these days? I feel like I just answered. I'm like, I'm Miss America. Or you're doing a, what do you call it?

T.M. No, that's too much information. An ITM in the moment. In the moment. Please answer the question with the question. Oh, I'm pulling a Caitlin. You don't remember the question. What was the question?

What amazes you about society these days? Social media. Yeah. Amazes me how it controls people's lives. But you could argue that it can be in such a good way. It can help. It can raise money. There's inspiring stuff.

There's educational stuff. But it's ruling the world. What frightens me is the social communication between people like face to face. How often do you go out to dinner and you see people just on their phone and they're out to dinner together. Yeah. And it scares me for the younger generation. Are they going to know how to communicate?

No. No. They're going to use L-O-L. They're just going to have glasses on where they just see everybody in a filter. And it'll just like, they'll be able to just think what they want to say in a text bubble. Well, that's that. We're just going to be walking little social media zombies. Terrible.

I really enjoy. the time that I was born and the time that I'm in and that you know I'm like quite happy with that so thanks for having sex with them at that time ago so who said something to me the other day they were like they were like would you rather walk in on I don't know something and then they're like or walk in on your parents I was like well my mom at sex with my dad that would mean they're back together and I'm just kidding I'm just kidding get over to Caitlin I've got two great dads now that's right um Bailey Smo's asks, what's it like having your daughter be in the spotlight? Well, I will go back to when it first started. It was very surreal because I was a bachelor and then Bachelorette fan since the very conception, the very first show. And then to see you in this franchise and it was kind of surreal. And then it was very upsetting to see what you were going through.

And that, yes, the hate. and the threats and the I mean it caused great great anxiety for me I mean I know it did for you it isn't about me but the question was yeah yeah no it's yeah so I've been through the gamut of all the feelings but now I just rolls off my back and all I am I'm just I'm just proud like yeah look what look what she's done and look how far she's coming look at the platform and the messages she's putting out there yeah yeah yeah yeah i like this i like this grape therapy it's like therapy for me for my soul chicken soup for the therapy vegetarian chicken soup for the soul with wine with wine always with wine

uh dusty laneinger cobbin asks did you crush on any of the bachelor boys no you right cupcake i was just going to say but i everybody does i you know i still You'll do have a crush on Cupcakes. He's the best. I mean, and then when you meet him in person, he's a very sincere. Oh, he was at the wedding this weekend. Oh. I would have told you to say hi.

Which, by the way, my drunk dial will be all about Jared and Ashley's wedding and wedding can you nots and just what it's just a wedding theme and it's going to be. It looked magical. It was magical. And I really liked what they said. They said they didn't want it to be a party. They wanted it to be a romantic experience and memories and moments. and it really was.

It was one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been to because of the moments and the memories and just, it was really about love. And of course, the party was still there. Right. Well, and she'd been dreaming of it since she was 12. Yeah. So cute.

I was never like that, right? Like, growing up, I never pretended to... Oh, my goodness. I wish I could find that picture, but you took it out of the album and now it's gone missing. You and Haley dressed up like a bride and groom. And I was the groom.

You were the groom and you had the grouchiest look on your face. face you're like I don't want to do this picture is funny it's in like an oversized suit and a hat and I wanted to be the groom and Haley wanted to be the bride yeah well Haley was the bride when and you were the groom oh I know but that was when we were little yeah yeah yeah and both of us are still not married that's why I kept joking on Instagram I was like actually I started on Chris Sol's season of the bachelor with me she was like the crazy crier who I just I always liked her I always call her one of the most self-aware people. She's just the best.

But it was just so funny to know where she came from all of her struggles, going through all these scenes of paradise and the bats are and people teasing her. And then she gets married to my ex-boyfriend. She called you. Caitlin, what did you do to Jared? Yeah, that was, it's just so funny. But I honestly could not be happier for those two. There are, there's just no other love story like there.

No, no. It's so unique. And I'm very happy for them. Me too. So Cupcake was your crush. Cool. Yeah, he was. Lake and Hahn Burns asks, how did you feel about Caitlin going on the Bachelor

and then becoming the Bachelor at? You weren't surprised. You're like, you would do this. Yeah, you called me. I mean, I knew that you had put this in. You and Bree had, well, Brie put your name in and Haley, help fill out all the paperwork and everything. And then it was just gone because a year went by.

And then you called me. and her phone call sound for me was like the emergency. Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! So whenever I heard that, I thought, oh, no, what, what? So I picked it up and she said, Mom, are you sitting down? I said, should I be? And she said, yes. I just heard from The Bachelor and they want to interview me.

Yeah, I do remember that. And then it was just like, well, you go for it, honey. I mean, just what have you got to lose? worried or no i didn't know what all it involved that didn't know what it meant yeah neither did i neither just anyone that's why it really bugs me when people say you signed up for this because you really oh my gosh no idea what you're signing up for no no no no no no responsibility and the and the ripple effect it has not just on that person but on people around you i know they don't get that but oh my gosh i know it's crazy so yes she and we're sitting down and then it kept going well they want to see me

for another interview and another interview. And then you sent me this picture of you in this Berkeley sequined dress saying I'm about to go in for the final interview. And I drank a mimosa at 8 a.m. They offered. Well, when else are you supposed to drink mimosas? The mimosas are a breakfast drink.

Celine Zon, favorite, wants to know your favorite memory of Caitlin growing up. That's cool if that's your last name, but I don't know. That's very cool. Favorite memory of me growing up. Oh, gosh. actually lots when she was little but one of my favorites was when I saw you perform on stage like I knew you could oh I remember that I know exactly what you're talking look at all those beautiful sailboats I know isn't that cool they it's a snowball picture I know exactly what you're

talking about the my lyrical solo and it hurts it hurts it hurts so bad and I mean because I always knew Caitlin's potential as a dancer, but felt she held back because I know people aren't going to believe this, but she didn't want to stand out. No, I know. She didn't want to, you know, look special or better than anybody else. And it was like, no, don't really look at me. But I did hold back dancing. You did hold back. And I tried to tell you. No, I held back. Because if I didn't, I would have been doing a dance career and unhappy. And I wouldn't have been on this path. Hey, that doesn't mean that dancers are unhappy if they follow their path. No, of course not. Your path wasn't meant to be that. Exactly. So you held back. But this one day, I sat there and watched

you do the dance of your lifetime. Yeah. Which was the dance of my career. It was. And I remember I got a scholarship from that one. You did. You did. And it was a tough class. Yes, it was. Like, really tough class. It was actually a highlight of my life beating one of the girls from Shelley. dance studio in Edmonton. The best of the best. And there were like 30 in that class. And yeah, yeah. You blew me away there.

I was very proud because you showed what you were made of in that little moment in time. You little dance, mom. I know. If people don't know, mom's career growing up and in your life was a professional ballerina. So no shit, you're a dance mom. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but to see your daughter perform like that. Yeah.

Just sorry I let you down every other time. Well, I tried to talk to you about it, but we've got to let that go now. All right. Yeah, totally no resentment at all. Darcy Smallwood asks, how do you feel about Caitlin and Jason's relationship? Oh, now don't make me get a little teary now. They are ying and yang. Yin.

Oh, Yin and Yang. they are opposites attract apparently um they balance each other so well and their communication is inspiring it's i've never had anything like this yeah yeah it's really i can talk to him about anything like excuse me i can be like i am feeling so insecure about this because of this and here's why because in my last relationship i felt like this and then he goes wow i'm so glad you explain that to me and I will be cognizant and now here's what I can do for you and I'm like all right great bring it on or if we fight I feel like I'm just like I'm a little dramatic and he just he's just like he won't put up with it but he just knows he just knows to not

push my buttons well no and he lets you feel what you feel yeah he lets me feel my and doesn't dismiss your feelings no he does not which is very very important in relationship so I think they are so sweet and I just smile a lot, seeing them together. Yeah. Think about this. 365 days ago Oh my word. When I was sitting in this chair to today. Yes. It was a very rough time, well, last spring and summer. It was horrible to watch you. There was nothing that we could do, but you were, were hurting so bad and you tried really you gave it your all honey i mean i'm proud of that too yeah that i know that yeah you know that but it was a terrible um to watch your child well any of your children like to see them hurting you you you want to take it away from them

why is heartbreak and love worse than like anything in the world well i shouldn't say that's again dramatic Caitlin but like why is heartbreak so it takes everything out of you like I didn't want to get out of bed and I just was like cried and cried not only cried I feel like at one point I was like a child like like on the floor crying I held you in my arms you are my sunshine oh boy yeah um yeah because heart because that's I I believe women feel heartbreak more than men or else they acknowledge it more. Yeah, we acknowledge it more. We feel it more. They numb it more. They numb it and just turn. Most. Yeah, most, most do. But heartbreak, it's heart. That's the, that's your soul. Yeah. So it, it, there is such a thing as

a disease, no, a syndrome. It's called heartbroken syndrome. Yeah. Yeah. And it can affect the rhythm of your heart it can affect so many things oh my god lost like eight pounds i was like yeah and back then you didn't need to no it was awful and then you have people making comments on your body anyways yeah no it was a very fragile time from last year to to this year it's uh 365 yeah 360 yeah okay couple more haley johnson asked what has been the hardest to watch kately go through through this entire experience. What we just talked about. What we just talked about was the hardest, but also through, like, when the show was

airing, not The Bachelor, because you had a blast on The Bachelor. I mean, your first line when you walked in, you should have told me what you were going to say to Crystal's, but yeah, yeah, we found out after. My dad, high-fived me. Oh, hey. but you know what it was difficult family like goes on and you are away from us without communication and so things happen and yada yada yada but the hardest thing to watch you go through was when it was airing and oh we would have these parties where all our friends would

come over and everyone just wants to watch and talk and be loud and laugh and you're like, shut up. I'm listening to every word. I miss so much, but we recorded it. Plus, um, one of the producers sent Haley DVDs of. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, yeah, very nice. I wonder if I'll ever be able to watch it. Well, I haven't been able to. I don't think I could. So I don't know if you will. Because it would just make me sad. Well, but, you know, it is what it is and it brought you to where you are. I know, but it was still, but it was very difficult and then knowing what people were saying and and but it's all good it i know you are grateful for the experience and because um took me well but i'm there and finally maggie griffin asks can she adopt

me oh that's very sweet your mom goals everybody thinks your mom goals well you know i think everyone who has a mom that has a special bond yeah and and even if their mom's still not here they probably had a special bond at some point. Yes. And if they didn't, then they have a special bond with somebody who felt like a mom to them. That's right. There's always somebody. A mother figure to anybody is a special bond.

Yeah. Like mine with ramen. I think he likes me. He's tired. Yeah, he loves you. Okay. So last thing, we're going to play a game, okay? What?

I thought that was. No, those were just some. Thank you all, by the way, for your questions. Yes, thank you. You're so Canadian. You're so cute. Okay, this is, I mean, that's basically still questions, but we're going to make it into a game. So, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

All right, folks. Here we go. First up, on the board. When I was little, what did you think, we're going to make these rapid fire, so answer them quickly. When I was little, what did you think I was going to be when I grew up? An actor. Really? Yeah.

An actor. Okay. Interesting. I mean, I was thinking you were going to say to answer, but okay. What's the funniest thing I ever said or did as a kid? You were mad, and then so you engraved your initials in the oak railing at our house. Why? I always carved things.

You carved. I'm just so rebellious. I can laugh now. Remember, like I would, you would think I would be one of those kids that would go do graffiti. That's what I should have been. That was your, that was your graffiti. Yes.

When was the first time you heard me curse? I remember this. Do you want me to tell you? Yes. It was when the next door neighbor's house was on fire. And I thought, I thought we were going to catch fire and you guys weren't home. That's right. And I was sitting on this little beige love seat in our living room.

And I said, Mom, I'm going to swear. I'm so scared right now. I'm going to swear. It was like I was trapped in the home. I can't you just walk out the door. Like you're not going to burn. And I just said, damn it. And that was like, whoa.

I couldn't even say poop growing up. You couldn't say stupid. You still can't. and say stupid. I don't like that word. I totally get why I couldn't say stupid, but why couldn't I say poop? No, you couldn't say, did we talk about this on the last podcast? Yeah, I'm sure we did. Let's carry on. No, let's

not. Mom wouldn't let me say poop growing up. So we called poo and pee big pots and little pots. Where does it even come from? I don't know, but it reminds me of them. Like big plops and little plops would have been big pots. I don't know. And it seems so much to me. Go potty. I was to go big pots.

Yeah. That was poop. It was like potty. It reminds me of that show, that musical with the teapot. Beauty and the Beast. Beauty and the... Chip. Yeah, yeah. Big pot and little pot. Oh, my God.

What would you have named me if I was a boy? Oh, I know what this was. Landon Bruce. Landon Bruce. Bruce was your... My dad's dad. Dad's dad. Yeah.

Hello, Bruce. That's from Finding Nemo. Did you ever drop me? as a baby. Well that would explain a lot. Oh, I knew you to say that. No, no. I don't know why I asked that. What was my favorite TV show growing up?

Today's special. It's forever you want. Do do, do, do, do, do today's special. Dolly do. Come join in the fun. Do, do, do, do, do do. There's magic everywhere. A world for us to share. And family faces, no, friendly faces.

hoping that you'll want to see us there. And today's special. It's for everyone. And then they would go, Today's special is. Brought to you. And then they'd have different segments every time. And it was about a mannequin.

Only in Canada, you guys. You can watch in the States. All my Canadians will probably be loving this. It was about a mannequin in a department store. And when somebody took off his hat, he came alive. After the doors were closed, the security guard would carry him into this special... Mr. Crenshaw.

Okay. Yeah. Mr. Crenshaw, he'd carry him in, and then if you took up his hat, he would come to life and dance. And also you liked, where in the world is Carmen San Diego. Well, so you dance around that well,

and of course, full house. And you're missing one. Days of our lives. Yeah, I never got into that. Yes, you did? No, no, I was all my children all the way. Susan Lutti. Right, right, right.

What was the most embarrassing hairstyle I ever had? Well, your bangs were out to hear. Oh. Mm-hmm. Well, when you did it yourself and then you thought you were cool, you put five ponytails. Oh, cute. Don't you remember that? I think my worst hairstyle is when Lindsay accidentally put gum in my hair and I had to cut it out.

And then I had like an alfalfa sprout growing out of my head. It's still there. No, those are just broken baby hairs. No, no, I'm talking back here. All right. And then last. No, two more. Two more.

I like these. What age of mine did you love the most? Oh. Hmm. I liked actually age three. I love kids at three. Three, such a fun age. Why?

What was I like as a three-year-old? You were like this toddling little mimic. Everything your sister did, you did. everything and then you wanted to be able to do everything at three that you do when you're six like your sister took piano lessons so i wanted to you wanted to i feel like that's every kid they no but then but then you'd run around naked after the bath and go jump on the bench i think you've posted a picture of this and i played piano naked and you played the piano without even taking lessons i played by ear yes i've got a little musical gene in me thank you to dad's dad yes and and haley also

also played by ear, and it would drive her piano teacher crazy, saying, you have to read the notes. And she says, why? I can just play it. Well, she had a really missed opportunity of a piano player, pianist. Wow, she was very good. Yes, she was. Okay, what age did you hate? Oh.

I already know this one. 18. 18 is my worst age. 17, 18. Yeah. Because I was just a little shit. I smoked. I drank.

I'm just like I don't know yeah yeah yeah you were a challenge I was trying to be cool you were trying to be cool how how did that work for you well worked out good years later in the moment not really years later but you kept me awake so many nights didn't help that I was dating a guy older than me who was like I mean bless him but he was doing bad things I didn't know that well I actually didn't either but found out later no it wasn't just it was you and Brie would go out and keep me awake at night. Yeah. But dad would come pick us up in the parking lot.

That was the deal. And that should be the deal with every parent. No questions asked. You need a ride. Always. Any time of the night. Anytime. No questions asked.

Or you could have an Uber account for your kids and get them home safe. There's no excuse. Yeah. And I did. I never did anything stupid like that. No. Did I ever do anything creepy as a kid that scared you? I remember this.

One year we went to our cabin. I can't remember how old I was, and I had urges to catch minnows and cut them in half. Do you remember that? That is a little creepy. Do you remember that, though? I thought you were catching butterflies. Yeah, but you don't remember when I wanted to catch minnows and cut them in half? Well, I remember when we caught minnows with a little net.

But I had this weird thing where I was like, I want to cut them in half. I want to cut all of them in half. Okay, that is a little creepy. Obviously, I blocked that from my mind because, yeah, we should have had you in counseling. Yeah, but everybody should probably be in counseling. I know. I do believe the world should be. talking to somebody yeah well there's the online services you can do now that's great i really hope

people utilize that because you don't there's no need to feel alone no you know that's and you're not alone no okay last topic of a conversation i just wanted to say tyler who did you like him on hannah's season yes i did okay he's dating a victoria secret model now i hear that what do you think about i don't know i don't talk to hannah every day so i don't know the exact story maybe she like, I know she's, she's admitted that she's having like a little bit of a struggle post Bachelorette, which we all do. Yeah, it is a struggle. Right.

But he left her apartment and now he's been seen with a freaking Victoria's Secret Model. Now here's where it's a little bit of a trigger for me, okay? I'm going to say something. Oh, maybe it's the wine. Maybe it's another confession. But Gigi, indeed. I'm glad I can admit this now. It has been a trigger for me because when I was on the show, the producer,

would show me Sean's Instagram and he had a picture with her and for a long time I was made to believe that that was not just a fan photo which I still don't know if it was or if it was something but they would show me and be like I think this guy's like I don't know he like clearly was trying to hang out with like these models and I was like oh man and I don't know if they're trying to manipulate me or what they're trying to do so then after the show I was like can you delete that photo like some people have made some comments and it just kind of makes me uncomfortable he wouldn't delete the photo. Oh, I did not know this story.

And so it was this whole thing. And I was like, well, that's really weird that you know it hurts my feelings and that you wouldn't delete it. Anyways, so it was her. And I think she was at some swimsuit thing in Nashville. And he went, knew somebody that owned the place and got a picture. And again, I was made to believe that I didn't know the whole story. Whatever. So it was a true.

So now that he's like coming out of the bachelor role and dating her, I'm like, it's like a weird thing where I'm like well was she on like when Jason did family feud was she one of the no otherwise I would be like look at Mrs. Stelia boy anyways so with Tyler I'm like no go back to Hannah yeah or you know he is single no of course ready to mingle this is all just my own

insecurities but I hear that I didn't know that story yeah so I could be really mean right now, but I ain't going to. But I'm just saying it was a trigger for me. And it's my own insecurities. And so you feel how Hannah's feeling. You have empathy for her. Yes, I have so much empathy for Hannah. And I just hope like, I'm like, she's just going to, this is all going to make so much sense to her one day when she finds the man of her dreams. She's going to be like, oh, okay, this is why I went through everything. Exactly. Yeah. And I know that she's so open and honest about it. I mean, look at the people that have gone through what they've gone through, whether on a reality

show or or in real life yeah and let's be honest there's much worse things to go through in life i know i'm not i'm not dismissing depression or anxiety but no there are you know people dying and awful things going on in the world so it's perspective and compassion and that's what we want out there folks yep no judging no compassion for each other and uh you know do not judge till you walk in somebody's shoes and even then Don't judge. And even then just shut up. Karen. Keep it to yourself, Karen.

Okay. Do you have any other thoughts? Oh, I have so many thoughts. Oh, but I think we're on a time limit. We are on a time limit. Any thing you wanted to just say on the pod or are we good? We cover everything? No.

Oh. No, I had lots more. But we'll have to do another. Well, yeah, I'm here for the next three weeks. So you're going to be doing another grape therapy. Oh, can you give us a tease of what you would like to talk about? A little tease is about the double standard. that is still out there in some circumstances.

I hear that. Yes. Yes. I would love to talk about double standards with you. Okay. Okay. We'll do it maybe next week. TBC.

Maybe we'll do a drunk dial on double standards. Okay. We'll drink whiskey and wine and talk about double standards. We're going to double fist it. Double fist with the double standards. Yeah. Love you, Mom. I love you, honey.

Thanks for having me. It was so nice. Wait, do your Goldie Hawn laugh. Oh, okay. Oh, thanks for it. Okay. Your session is now ending. This week's grape therapy is sponsored by MTV's The Real World Atlanta.
