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.

Happy Thursday, Thursday, Finos. Did you catch my great therapy episode from last week? I'm still laughing. It was none other than low for our lowest moment segment, turn never TMI because damn. Some of your confessions are next level, which I love. So much so that on the spot we came up with a shame meter to rate the level of shame in these confessions.

And you guys, our 15-minute segment turned into like a two-hour conversation of wheezing, laughing, like an actual squealing laugh fest. To the point I almost threw up, so we had to split it into two episodes, which I don't think anybody's upset about. So this is part two. I don't even know what to say about this because I can't think about it without starting to laugh uncontrollably. This has happened to me all week. Basically, Lowe shares a confession that he kept in the vault for. years that had me in friggin stitches. You literally just hear my howling the entire time. And the score is skydiving simulator one and low zero. I'm just going to leave it at that.

So make sure you just empty your bladder or else take a zero personality if you pee your pants from laughing. Enjoy. Should I give you my confession? Yeah, please. so okay do you remember those things they're at like it's like universal city walk i don't know like outdoor shopping entertainment type areas you remember we did universal city walk for your birthday and they have this thing and it's like an outdoor parachute not parachute you can jump out of a plane get that feeling and it's like the air vents are there what do you call that shit what is it what's that call when you i have no idea Oh,

skydive. Nadine? Skydye. Thank you. Oh, my God, Nadine. My friggin motor skills today. It's like not even that difficult. I was like, I have no idea.

I'm like cloud surfing. No, it's skydiving. Of course. Thank you. So, yeah, they have a sky. I guess it's like a, what do you call it when you can like, reenact it? Like you have that same feeling.

Oh, yeah. I know what you're talking about. I can't speak today. That's okay. Skydive simulator. Yeah. Skydive. I'm a skydive stimulator.

Simulator. Oh. So a skydive. A skydive stimulator. Pardon. English is not my first language. Okay. Here we go.

So the skydiving simulator at Universal City Walk, but they have them at several places. Yeah. And I have no desire to do something like that. But the group I was with was really excited about it. So you got to put on your little skydiving outfit. and you got all the little things and you zip them up. Did I tell you this one before? I don't remember.

No. Okay, good. So I was humiliated. But you put on your little jumpsuit and it has Velcro on it. And the guy, the skydiving instructor, you watch a video, they give you all these rules. And you go in there. It's a solo mission, just you and the instructor. Yeah.

You go in and then the wind starts, you know, going up and you freaking jump into it. Well, the wind's already going. The guy goes in, does his thing. And then he opens it and, like, brings you into it with him. As soon as you go in, you're freaking. flying you're skydiving so cloud surfing you're cloud serving so so they show the video and i noticed that my velcro on my jumpsuit it was like you could tell it's it's been around for a while like the velcro wasn't as velcroy on it yeah and there was like i think like three on the chest

and then like one on the side or whatever like that so anyway um and you could wear your clothes you know so i had like um gym shorts on and a freaking t-shirt like a baggy t-shirt like a baggy t-shirt. Yeah. I get into the line and each person goes out, mind you, this skydiving simulation is in the middle of Universal City Walk. Mm-hmm. And it attracts people.

There's always people like just watching, you know, it's kind of like the riding the bull. People like to see, you know, that sort of thing. Yeah. So, and Universal Citywalk is packed. So all these people are like, you know, watching like an aquarium, watching freaking shamoo. in there so I uh he's our baby whale she's our baby whale so the first three people go up and and they're doing great and like the guy

kind of like make sure like you you know you don't fly up into the ceiling you don't go too high and he can like show you how to do like a flip or whatever and it's really cool and everyone seemed to be nailing it so then by the way I knew this guy didn't like me because of what happened so so I get in there it's my turn up And I decide, and he made it very clear, when you go in, you just starfish. Just a starfish. Don't try and do anything else. If you do, it won't be good.

And I'm like, okay, because I saw the three people before me and they were kind of like moving their legs a little bit. Like, I've seen Willie Wonka. I know how this works. I've seen. Okay. Thank you. So I'm like, and don't tell me what to do in my sky simulation.

So I get in there and right away, I want to do like the Superman pose, right? Yeah. Like the one arm out, one leg. talked back like one of those yeah I want to do that and I don't know what happened but before I knew it my straps on the front of my chest kind of like a onesie jumpsuit completely flew open and and the bottom's ripped open too and it it created like this air bubble around me of fabric like garbage bags it looked like but the problem was with it going up for some reason because my shorts weren't tight enough my shorts were completely down and my shirt was completely up because of all

the wind of course and it was like the wind is hitting and it's this really unflattering it was so gross because my dick was just flailing in the wind just yeah kately it was completely exposed my dick and ball everything all a cart showing and I was but then the thing that i mean i was embarrassed about that because it was actually it was a cold wind it's cold wind so it's not like the most flattering it's not like it's like this and then because my shirt flew up but you're like kind of like in this like squatting like so like your belly like it's like you feel like and it's like hitting your skin so it looks just like flubber like even if you're

ripped which I wasn't like ripped going in there you know like I had a chipotle burrito for lunch you know so like I was full and uh and it just my pregnant belly and my dick is flailing and and I started screaming like screaming and this this guy this is why I know because he could have flipped like hurried up and like I don't know brought me into his arms or something he flips me around on my back like a turtle on its shell and I'm like

I'm going to kill myself I'm going to freaking kill myself after this because it's so unflattering I'm so upset just talking about it and then finally he like turn off the machine

or whatever and I like float down and I'm just like And everyone, like, I see everyone around the tank watching Shamoo. And everyone's like either laughing or horrified, more so horrified. Like I saw moms like, don't look. Like, like that man's dick is out. And I, um, I have never felt more shame because I know there's a lot of people that saw that. Oh, and by the way, they have video too.

They record everything. It's like, tell me what happens. So they have video and you could buy the video of like your experience. I'm wheezed. It was so, it was so shitty, you know? And like that guy who did that to me, his name's Tyler. By the way, of course it is. Of course.

It was either Tyler or Chad. I can't bring. I was like, why didn't you get me down sooner? And he's like, because I. told you not to move. I was like, oh. He's like, I told you not. As soon as you went in, you did the Superman.

Like he was all pissed at me. He's like, so that's what happens when you do that. And you didn't buckle up your suit right. I'm like, I, I, I, Velcroed it. I'm sorry, you have some cheap ass Velcro that doesn't work. So that's why my friggin, my nuts and everything. But it's like one of those things were like, it took me years to feel confident looking at myself in the mirror after that because it's such an unflattering image that I had in my head

of myself. Not to mention to look. Anyone would be unflattering in that position. The wind blowing too, you know, like. It's not like a light breeze. Vigorous, like wind tunnel. And just and just my balls like are inverted at this point. I feel like I'm going to throw. up from laughing so hard. It was terrible. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

I know. It sucks, man. Oh, my God. Did you go to therapy after? I did. I was like really like, man, my body image. I was like, this is me. You know, plus it's like.

That's how people see me. Not to mention like, like, I. all the friends that were there and the couple I had two clients and four friends so these people are all fully aware of my inverted penis and my flubbs I'm actually going to throw up um we at least we know it's not inverted because it was flapping in the wind it was flat yeah but it just was like not the best light to shine for him yeah wow Enrique that's what I named him Enrique is the name of my weiner. I love you so much that it hurts my insides.

I love you too. I just love you in your stories and things. The way you paint the picture, that's everything. I've been saving that one for a while. Because I couldn't even talk about it, to be honest. I've done like 20 episodes with you, but I never have brought that one up I'm like, it still is painful. Now I'm at the point I could finally talk about my embarrassment.

Have you, have you not burned that video or like, can we watch it? Caitlin, swipe that. Like, no, I'm not. God. But I want to see so badly. I'll show it to you. You will?

I will. I don't think I could put that online. There's actually, I don't think I know I will never. put that online ever i would die i would die oh god i'm so sorry that that must have been so humiliating like it would no matter what no matter what person is in there that would that's that's um i'd have nightmares about that for a while yeah and it's just like the whole thing you got the helmet on it's just like it's like not nothing's cute like there's My favorite part.

My favorite part is that you were just so excited to go in with the Superman pose. You're like, yeah, this is going to be awesome. Yeah. I'm like, this is a win for the gays. Like, I just wanted so bad. And I shamed them. My community. Holy shit.

That's fucking good. Thank you. Yeah. That is the hardest I have laughed. in a very long time like I kind of have to calm myself down because I feel sick the heart is beaten out of its chest now back to off the vine grape therapy oh god I miss being with you so much and we would laugh like this oh but I remember when you had like broken ribs broken ankles I was like stop making me laugh you're like low you can't do it like you were actually firm will you wake up in the morning be like hey no laughing today no laughter today because i'm in a lot of pain and like you were all bandaged up not today jim carrie yeah but the problem is we we laugh so much together and i don't laugh like that with anyone no except you i would

i genuinely feel the same way i mean people can probably hear it in the podcast i don't laugh this hard with anyone oh it makes me just want to fly to la after this and hang out with you i actually might I was thinking about coming there very quickly to do something. I'm not okay. Just do something. I just want to freaking do something. It's funny because I actually just got a text of Katie, who's the Bachelorette, her interview room where they do like ITMs. It's like across the hall.

They're like, could you, uh, make down? Yeah. I was like screaming over here laughing. Having a house party. Oh, God, that was good. Thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you for sharing the lowest moments with people.

People are probably like, man, they're so mean. We're like, shame scale. Yeah. They're like, I thought this is the same place. Galen, we want to promote positivity. We're going to bring out our shame scale for women. But it's all in good fun. It's all in good fun.

all in good fun i had some questions to ask you but i just might have to ask you to do another podcast with me so we could get to them oh i would love that yeah did you just like write them right now like no it's from they're from vinos low raise yourself there's some pretty deep questions for you oh god deep deep like a prostate exam jeanice asks a solid three-part question marry one murder one one make love to one ready yeah harry styles matthew mconehay rob low mary uh kill and sex okay so i like to say mary murder and make love it sounds nice oh i'm all fck i know oh i want to sleep with make love with rob low

for sure yeah yeah that would be fun okay i'm going to marry harry styles okay because i feel like long term and i'm gonna freaking stab matthie mccona to death metaphorically no i'm not he's more of like all natural and i just i know i mean that's all rumors of course but i know there's a little bit of a pungent aroma yeah so i'm not down with that i like someone to have a little old spice on their pits, you know? Fair enough. Fair enough.

Also, on a podcast, you had mentioned that you weren't sure about getting the vaccine. Have you changed your mind? Oh, I am double vaccinated now, fam. I have changed my mind. Yeah. Oh, when I did that last,

I think I was with you and Jason. Oh, yeah, it was. It was when we were in L.A. Oh, my God. And I'm like, I'm an anti-vaccin. That was fun about it lasted. Yeah. I mean, I was nervous.

And here, can I say this, though, about vaccines? I think that now people do get weirded out about vaccines and stuff. But I think there's a lot of shame. If like you say, like, I'm nervous to get it or I don't know if I want to get it. Automatically, it's like you're, you know, a specific political party. You're an anti-vaxxer. You don't believe in science. And I think there's a lot of shame.

So I will say, I think it's normal to question things. But I do trust science. I did get Pfizer double vaccinated. I feel better. And I actually felt fine. Great. Thank God. No blood clots or anything here.

But yeah. But I understand why some people are a little apprehensive. But I think if you do the work, research and stuff, and you could feel more at ease with it. So that's what I did. I looked into it. I asked my doctors. And then I felt like, all right, let's do this. And here we are today.

I'm going to do mine when I get back. Yeah. Okay. Aaron asks, my question for Lowe is, I heard he is selling his stinky llama. Is it available? What the shit is a stinky llama? What the fuck is that? You don't know what that is?

Stinky llama? I heard he is selling his stinky llama. Is it available? If she's referring to Dookie, my little black pug, like, how dare you? No, because she said, I heard he is selling his stinky llama. I would love to have a stinky llama. but I don't have one. It's hard to get one in L.A.

It's not even like an inside joke. I don't, I've never even said that. Or maybe I don't, what the hell is, is that like a code word for something else? That's what I'm asking. Oh,

yeah, I have no idea. I'm going to write in, I can't do it right now. I'm going to write in my Facebook group and ask Aaron to come forward and share her story with the class. Yeah, what that was a stinky llama.

I thought you were going to be like, oh, that old thing. Okay, interesting. Really curious about that now. Katrina. Do you guys want to hear the Urban Dictionary for Stink Lama? I don't know if this is what it is. Oh, my God. Another golden nugget.

Yes, please. Oh, God, I'm scared. When you release your bowels in a woman's mouth, she just needs to spit it onto your penis. Oh, my God. Are you selling that? I don't, yeah, I have no idea. All right, Aaron.

What's your Venmo? What's your Venmo, Aaron? You're about to get a little stinky llama overnight express hot bucket of shit. Coming your way, baby. Oh, sick. That is like foul. The fact that Aaron asked, I heard you're selling your stinky llama. And then Nadine comes on and tells us a stink llama is that.

And she wants to know if it's still available. I'm so confused. I can't wait to get answers. I'm going straight to off the vine Facebook group after this. Okay, Katrina asks, what is your funniest story of being hit on? Oh, funniest story of being hit on. Oh, I did get hit on by a guy. I remember this.

And he had messaged me and he was really sweet. And then we met up. And he asked me, well, it's not funny. It's kind of sad. But he's like, he's like, where's your mom from? And I'm like, she was born here. And he's like, oh, you know, I have family and, and I don't know, Puerto Grino, balladino, or some, he was Italian, right? Yeah.

And beautiful. And, and I'm like, oh, yeah, no, I'm not Italian. And he's like, what? And I said, no, I mean, I love Italian food. Like, this pasta is incredible, but, you know, I'm, I'm good. Like, I don't. You have red wine? Yeah, I'm not Italian.

He's like, you lied that. I'm like, about what? Like, no, I never. I'm like super Hispanic. So literally I'm like at like tacos on my shirt like doesn't get more freaking Mexican than this, bro. And he actually was like, I thought you were Italian this whole time. And you had told me you're Italian. I said, oh, no, no.

I said like Spanish is so close to Italian. So I could understand it. Like it's not too much of a difference. Like that's the only thing I remember saying about. And anyway, he was like, yeah, I thought I was like really looking forward to like. being with like an Italian dude. Oh. I was like, okay, well, Alfredo, goodbye.

Oh, my gosh. He was done with me. Done. That's so funny. Yeah, that's kind of weird. But he was just like, and I think that I get a lot of people that slide into my DMs or that's most of the way people flirt nowadays. They, they, you know, but they always, no one could figure it out. Like, am I Persian, Lebanese, Italian, Hispanic?

Right. A lot of people think I'm half black. I've gotten so many different Filipino. Well, not that, but I've gotten a lot of, I wish. I wish I was Filipino, to be honest. But I because I'm obsessed with the food. But yeah. So I think people messaging me saying like, like, what are you? Like, alien man. Like we can't pinpoint. Where's your origin? That's a common thing. You're like Mexican and German. Yeah. There you go. Oh, by the way. What? I'm more. I'm more. I'm more. Hispanic than I ever even knew. Wait, what do you mean? So I thought it was a 50-50 combination platter. Okay. My dad is German and my mom is Hispanic, Mexican. Yeah. And we have a Spanish blood too, of course. Turns out, turns out. I've been living a lie. And my father's mother, my grandmother, who I didn't really know, she passed away when I was little. She was Hispanic. And I'm like, hold on. Wait, what? So dad, you're half, you're half Mexican. My dad's like, yeah, I'm half Mexican. We never, so I'm like 75%. Wow. Mexicano. So, yeah, I was like kind of excited about

that one. Yeah, that is exciting. Yeah. Extra pot of beans at the table. I'm just very British. British. I'm very British. I'm very British. This is off the vine. Grape therapy. Okay. Stephanie wants to know. Father's Day is coming up. Has he always been close with his mom or if their relationship has grown stronger since he's gotten older? I listen to their two-part podcast on the low-life podcast. And oh, my God, they seem like the sweetest most genuine family ever.

Love the podcast. Oh, that's so sweet. Wait, who said that? What's the name? Stephanie. Stephanie. Um, well, yeah, my mom is super abusive and, um, kind of a monster. Can you imagine?

just shatter everything yeah kind of the worst but uh no i have to say we got we've always we have always been close and i think that's a mother-son thing i'm an only child as you know kately so yeah we have always been pretty tight but i i thought as i got older i would not be as close because life happens and you know i'm not living at home and stuff like that we are tighter than ever now in my i think this is i mean because the role the the relationship is shifted She's a mother. She's a friend, a colleague, a mentor. There's a lot of roles.

And now it's almost like we bounce ideas off each other, like two adults, which is pretty cool. But I think the only time that was kind of hell is when I was in high school, like 18 to 22 year old low, like not fun. Like I wasn't the best son. I was just a little, you know, narcissistic asshole at the time, which, you know, teenager or coming into my manhood or, you know, and it was just, I was like, I was like, like too cool for school and we went through it then but it made us closer anyway to answer your

question but it's very sweet of her to say so sweet oh actually says and i agree with this one when is he running for president i love hearing him talk about things going on in our world with empathy and grace and i love the way he tries to see all sides of things and different perspectives well now's my chance I'm running what is it when's the next election 20 24 I don't even know yep that's what this podcast is actually for to end it with this big announcement yeah I would never run for president that's sweet of her to say though and you know what the thing is I I don't mind talking about stuff like political stuff only because I think I'm I'm close to a lot of conservatives and and liberals and everything in between and and I

I love them all. I genuinely love them all. Even with like anti-vaxxers or anything political, I think to have a conversation, if you go in guns blazing and like wanting to prove a person wrong. I'm not trying to prove shit. I just want to hear people's opinions. And that's how you are too. Yeah. I feel the exact same way. I think it's it's so sad to me when I see that people aren't just open to different ideas and thoughts. And like we're not we're not going to live in a world where everyone agrees on things. And so we might think like you're. way of thinking is insane, but I'm not going to change your mind. Yeah. I'm open to hearing how you think about things. I might, I might try and change your mind about certain things, but. Yeah, there she is. I was like, why was it being so nice there for a second? Yeah.

Why there's so much stuff going on outside, I get distracted because filming, obviously. It's all like, all of a sudden see like a shirtless guy run by and cameras chasing him. And I'm like, what is happening out there? What's going on? Wait, you're in a hotel now? I thought they had you in a house. I go back and forth. So sometimes I stay out at the house.

If I have a few days off or if I'm really sick of this freaking hotel food. Yeah. And then other days I come here because I like to use the gym. And did you see, I just did an Instagram Live where I showed my cellulite on Instagram Live. So there's that. Oh, no. Is it, are you going to leave it out on the feed? Oh, yeah.

It's there. Okay. All right. It's there. For the world to see. I just, I was getting, I'm doing a 12-week program with Aaron Trelaw from Raw Beauty Talk starting May 9th on Mother's. on Mother's Day and it's kind of like we do group check-ins and there's homework and it's about like, you know, tuning into your body, seeing what makes you feel good.

It's like a mental and physical clarity. Like all this stuff. I'm so excited. You should do it with me. Yeah. Oh, I would love to. Really? Yeah.

You should do it. Yeah. It's like a retreat. You can be online and in your own time and. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. And it's 12 weeks and you're going to feel like just a new human being. What do I have to give up?

um nothing oh okay great no that's the beauty it's it's like we Aaron and I always talk about diets that don't work diets don't work this is like more of like nutrition in your body listening to it what does it need what makes it feel good um there there's a lot of if if you go to rob beauty dot co there's a lot of information on this 12 week program but you should look into it and do it with me because I would love to have fun like live um little like hangouts and talk about things and it's going to be really, I feel like it's going to be really powerful. Yeah. Oh my God. I'm so down. And it's, I mean, guys can do it too, right? It's not just for the Queens out there. No. No, no, no, no. Okay. Perfect. Count me in for 12 weeks. I think my mom and

my sister might do it too. Yeah. Yeah. So cute. What, uh, what, anyways, what are you doing for the rest of your day? So, you know, oh, you know, like real talk. I'm doing all right. I'd say I'm a solid 7.5 out of 10. Right. Yeah. I'm hanging in there. I will say I have I've always had mad respect for you. And I love everything that you do with your podcasts. And you know, you've shown me a lot of the ropes. But now I'm, I'm seeing how stressful it is. And it's a freaking nightmare. No. It is stressful. It can be stressful at times. When see, the thing is, it's stressful when you are doing what you do right now. Or like me, the work is starting to pick up again. And I'm not as available for podcasting. I'm like, whoa. So. I'm like, damn, it does get a little, you know, tight on time. And that's, that's the only thing. But, I mean, that's a good problem to have. I love doing it, you know.

Yeah. But I, yeah, my, my parents are healthy. We're all vaccinated. Duky is 14 years old. He'll be, he'll be 15 in June. Stop it. Yeah. And he's, he's doing his morning swims every day.

Duky is thriving. Black pug for people who don't know, my little Duky booty. But yeah, he's, I keep thinking, though, like something's going to. Because every time I say his age, everyone's like, oh, like, treasure these moments. I know. I freaking used to hate that with Tucker when we're like, he's 11. And they're like, oh. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm sorry. I just did that. No. No. I mean, but it is, you know, almost 15 year old pug. What is pug? What is pug's lifespan?

From what I've learned from my vet, it's between 12 to 15 years. Okay. Well, golden retrievers are said to be 10 to 12 and a lot of them live past that. Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, that gives me a little bit of hope. But, but yeah, so I've just been hanging with Little Duky. And here's the thing, Caitlin. I have to ask you, well, maybe your opinion's going to be different about it now that you've been cooped up for a bachelor. But everything's starting to slowly open up again because vaccinations are happening. And I have anxiety. Yeah. Because and I feel like everyone's like, I'm going to be out. I'm never going to say no to another invite. I'm going to be out. Like, I want to go out to dinner every night. And I have a lot of friends and people I see. talking about it or just like I'm about to tear up the town and I'm like I'm don't want to do that I new wave of anxiety that nobody's ever experienced before and I'm with you on that okay oh well that makes me feel better because that's actually something we talk about in the reset for the 12 week program like that that new wave of anxiety that's coming over some people yeah oh because I'm

I'm even seeing like birthday invites and travel stuff coming up I'm like whoa whoa whoa like yeah no No one's like easing back into it at all. No, it's almost like, I think by next Thursday, we could have an orgy. I'm like, no. My God. Yeah, I just want to hold off a little bit. Man, take me to dinner first. But, no, I'm with you on that. I'm, I think it's the thought of, you know, because I really realized how important it was for my mental health to slow down and not to just be go, go, say yes to everything. and so the idea that I don't have the excuse of oh well we're in a lockdown or you know it's a pandemic or I'm like oh my god I can't use that excuse like for the rest of my life right and I have to say that I have the friends that I've kept through the pandemic but there's a lot of

people that I'm like I'm good yeah I think that's important too like you kind of realize through this time who your people are totally you know what I I really do find that I just have more clarity in life, what I want out of life, who I want to surround myself with, what I want to focus on, what I want to prioritize and like how fast it all goes. So like I don't have time for the people that just aren't my people. Yeah. Well, I'd say, you could split up your friends between what, comrades, confidants and constituents. That's what I do. You're a confidant. Yeah. I separate my friends in three groups. I like that. Literally. Say that again. Confidants. Yeah. Constituents. and comrades.

So your confidants are the ones you confide in. You're lucky to have a little handful, maybe one or two. Like you don't need very many. It's tough to find them. And then your constituents are like work friends, that sort of thing. Or people like, like PTA, like fellow members or whatever, gym person. And then your comrades, they're people that are in your life, but you're only united with them for a specific cause.

Usually it's something negative. Like you both hate the same person or you've both been screwed over by someone. And there's something that unites you, but it's just one fine line, whether it be like a political party, like they're part of some organization or something. And that's the line that keeps you guys connected. So when I split up my friends in those categories, I was like, oh, I'm good. Like, I'm good with just my, you know, confidence. And then realizing that sometimes, like, you know, if a friend might let you down or something, I don't take it personal because I'm like, well, I shouldn't expect that from them because I put them in this specific category anyway. So that's, you know, it is what it is.

Yeah. Anyway. So I like that. That's a good way to look at things. I always do the, if you're in my life for a season, reason or lifetime, but usually I figure that out by the time it happens. Like, oh, that was a season. Right after appetizers are served.

Yeah. Yeah. But I like that. I'm going to think about that. I'm going to make a little chart, if you will. Yeah. There's a, a sermon. I'm not super religious at all.

I'm more on the spiritual side of life. Same. His name's T.D. Janks, pastor. He's, I believe he's Christian. Anyway, but he, he talks about it in detail, like the three different styles. Where can you find that? I'll put, I'll send you a link.

There's like this sermon that he does, but it's really interesting. I'm like, oh, like he explains it gives visual metaphors. And I was like, oh, it gives you a lot of like peace of mind and knowing like who's in your life. And actually help me like forgive people that kind of let me down and stuff like that. Okay. That's interesting. I'm intrigued. Okay.

Well, send me the link. We'll maybe share it on. off the vine or something but tell people where they can find your podcast and your Instagram and you just are so consistent with the greatest content of all times. Yeah. Oh and I, man,

I've been saying Queen Little Judy. I know. I call, by the way, I call it for people who don't know. I call you like Judy Garland. So when she was dancing on stage and she'd come home and she would

she'd take like three ibuprofen. And I mean, it was like a lorazapam a couple lorazapans and she's just like taking that with her freaking spade and sparrow and she's like and i and i we had just watched the movie judy and she's like popping pills and take swinging it down with some freaking merlo before she hits the stage and uh it just stuck because and and she's exhausted in the movie clearly from performing and kately would come home like bruised and battered just like I was such a mess. Oh, just you, I mean, it's exhausting. I still, you know, can't believe you went through all. It's a lot of work. But anyway, that's crazy.

That's where the little Judy comes from. We should do. Well, obviously, you have to watch the season of The Bachelorette because I'm on it. Oh, I know. Oh, my God. I'm so, I can't believe, you know what, though. I'm a little, like, sour because I didn't dress you for it, but I know I couldn't, you know, but it's okay. But, like, are you happy with the outfits for the most part?
