Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe - Grape Therapy: Producer Catchup Session & Bachelorette(s) Recap

Episode Date: September 8, 2022

KB is Zooming in from Kelowna, British Columbia to catch up with her producers on everything from her mom’s upcoming milestone birthday to this week’s episodes of The Bachelorette(s) to never-before-told high school confessions. Before they dive into this week’s Bachelorette content, Kaitlyn is sharing her thoughts on a recent social media post that made the trolls go wild and what it’s been like to win the “generic” lottery. Then, the three get into all things Fantasy Suites, general views on test driving the car (if you catch our drift), the Bachelor Rulebook on falling in love, and recent Bachelor Nation news. Kaitlyn reveals her very surprising pick for next Bachelor and then, inspired by the Vinos, she shares a mortifying “meet the parents” story that left her feeling very vulnerable in hindsight.  Thank you to our sponsors!

It's time for Off the Vine Grape Therapy. Welcome to your weekly session. Caitlin and friends are here to share unfiltered advice, lots of laughs, and some major breakthroughs. So put your feet up, pop a cork, and get ready for some grape therapy. Are you drinking, by the way, Caitlin? Yeah. Are you? Yeah.

Yeah. Because we were going to drink as well. I have a sippy cup. What is that an octopus cup? Yeah. So I was out to dinner and we ordered a bottle of wine and we didn't finish it and we wanted to put our glass back in it. And we were like, oh, you have like something where we could put our glass back and take the

bottle. And they're like, no, but we have sippy cups. That is amazing. Yeah. You know what's funny is one of my friends calls my mom octopus and I don't remember why. and now I want to get her that cup. I don't remember why. I should know the story behind that

because if someone's going to call you octopus, there's got to be a reason, and I'm not sure what it is. Is it because she tap dances? Do octopuses tap dance? Well, they just have a lot of legs. Legs. No, but you can imagine what it'd be like if they did.

Oh my gosh. Yeah, totally know. Oh, gosh. Oh, that's good. And speaking of your mom, so you're in Vancouver. Or no, where are you right now? I'm in, just outside of Kelowna, which is like four hours outside of Vancouver in, but honestly, every time I'm here, I'm just like, why do I not live here? I'm so happy when I'm here.

It's just all like water and chill vibes and wineries everywhere. And it's been amazing. I was, so I was in Vancouver visiting my girlfriend who just had a baby. And so visiting her and just seeing old Vancouver friends swinging. on rafters and like singing Celine Dion, which is so funny because I post it on Instagram and I'm like, my Instagram, I always say it's been humbling because the algorithm likes to humble people with the following. And so I post it going like, people aren't going like this. I have like so many comments and people were like, this is amazing. But then Jason

was like, oh my. And I'm like, what do you mean? Oh my. You would have been right there with me hanging from the freaking rafters, and everyone's like, yeah, are you supportive of your drunk fiance? Like, ew, look at her. Like, everyone was commenting mean things. And I was like, what the hell? Like, I feel like he didn't set me up for success with that comment. And I was like, I wanted to just say to everybody, like, he would have been right there with me and he drinks just as much as I do. So shut up. I feel like he would have been like a hype man in that situation. Like he would have been like, he like the girl, there was a girl that was like videotaping like pointing. at you, that would have been Jason. Jason would have been right there with you, singing along,

pointing at you. I know. All these stupid trolls in anyone. All the trolls, thanks for the engagement. Right. It's 100%. Yeah. That's people always say like, um, somebody said, who was it? I was podcasting with them and they were like, I know you say like you like trolls for the engagement and they said something about how they don't, but I really do. It's probably this. There's a girl actually who lives in Kelona. And I swear to God, every time I'm here, I've got to keep my head on a swivel. She's hated me for like 15 years because of a boy. And it's, like, I honestly think, like, if she saw me, she hates me so much, I think she'd, like, punch me in the tits. And I'm scared of her. Oh, so she's, like, from the past. Like, she's, like, holding on to some kind of grudge. Oh, yeah. She's holding on to

something. So I'm like, I'm always like, oh, God, is she going to show up somewhere? And, like, anyways, she didn't. I'm safe. and I'm flying home tomorrow, so everything's okay. Thank God. Don't jinx it. She might be at, like, the airport with you. Like, how it's going to happen? Just waiting.

Speaking of, I don't know how to transition to this. I'm like, speaking of families. I'm really excited to see where you were going to go with that. Can you continue? Where are you going with that? Speaking of asses, a lot of asses shown on the bachelor at the speak. In the fantasy suite. In the fantasy suites.

not shown sick transition not shown there was a black box over gabby there was booty during her whole date with um who's that was that funny Eric and um and Jason she had a black box it was like she was in the water with the black box was like in the water and I saw a tweet that was like if you're going to put a black box over Gabby's butt you better also put it over Eric's mullet because it's more offensive people people don't like the mullet huh i get you guys feel about it i don't mind it i don't mind it either i was going on me which is actually a pretty good that is good it's growing on me too i i i don't mind it i think i feel like he can pull it off he's a very good looking man who's like charming and sweet and i feel like he can pull off a mullet yeah i really don't think it's

an extreme mullet either no no it's a very subtle mullet. Yes, it's very gradual. It just looks like he has longer hair. Yeah. So it doesn't, it really doesn't bother me. But yeah, people are, people don't love it. People are, people are passionate about hair on that show. Like, as soon as someone's different, like, we're also used to, like, the same beautiful people on every season that as soon as someone has anything different, we're like, let's focus on that forever. I like Eric, though. We have a lot to talk about. I feel like through like the fantasy suites and Eric kind of like has a little dramatic moment. I feel like there's a lot to cover.

So where should we start? So far, what were your thoughts of all the guys? Like who was kind of like your favorites going into this episode, would you say? Kaylon's like, who is left? Caitlin's like, I don't know their names. John. George I'm like

I feel like I'm the most disconnected from the guys this season out of any other season I am literally the most disconnected from all of them it is wild but I do love

I'll say this first I do love how they're not keeping them in the same house anymore when they come back from their fantasy sweet dates like thank the Lord that they took that away

because that was like not even good TV that was just awkward all around yeah i don't know how many seasons they did that for but i'm really glad they're only a few yeah i don't know i just feel like eric is he was obviously really in his head i feel like the two guys who in my opinion are like clearly the winners are both kind of in their heads right now but what the hell is going on and then johnny is just johnny's living in his own little world and like it's johnny's

world and we're all just living in it he doesn't know what the hell's going on or where he is and clearly just walked from the beaches of Mexico down to paradise and said, I'm here. It's just, I don't know. I don't know. What do you guys feel about the guys? I'm just not connected. I'm really connected to Eric because I thought that was, I don't know, just seeing his whole story and then him losing his dad and us getting to like fall in love with his family on TV and then knowing he's gone through that. And I don't know.

He just seems like a solid human. I always love the way when I see people, how they treat their families. and he just seems like such a solid guy in that way. Yeah. Tino's dad, I wouldn't want to run into him in a back alley. Or a front alley. Or, you know what, any alley. Do you know much about his social media?

Because I feel like on your episode with Spencer, Caitlin, he said that Tino's dad, like, called like Bachelor Data out. Oh. Remember? Tino's dad is a real treat. I feel like he's like so judgmental. about The Bachelor Nation, but he's right in there with it all. Oh, yeah. He's playing the cards.

Like, he knows what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. There's a whole Facebook post from him where he was addressing different points from the show of what people were saying about him. And he was like, I am five, six, and I am like a gentleman. And it was just like, hold on. I got to find this. Oh, my gosh. He's like your typical troll.

Like, he, like, trolls the show so hard, but then he, like, wants to be in on it so bad. and, like, claps back at people online. That's hilarious. Yeah. He said, I'm 5'6 and a gentleman's 5'6 at that. There are 10 different bullet points in his Facebook post. No, I have never dyed my hair. Look closely.

You can see the gray. Like, he just keeps going through. He's really, you know, addressing all the points. He's clearly, like, spending so much time on Reddit threads, reading things about himself and clapping back. Oh, that's. poor tino like it's it's one thing when you sign yourself up for the bachelor and the bachelor but when you your family gets you know brought into it from your decision and then they're like

in it that deep that sucks yeah that's i mean it's got to be difficult to like come into like come into it as a dad and like all of a sudden people are commenting on your hair and your height and like all these things like i get it that's that probably sucks but like man they need to provide some support these families after the show. Yeah, my mom always said that. My mom wanted to start a support group for the parents after. I told that to Clayton's mom. I saw Clayton's mom and dad in the elevator the night before the finale. And I said, I'm just thinking about you guys. I was like, I know this is so hard on families sometimes. And like, I know Clayton isn't like really getting the edit or whatever you want to call it he deserves. And he's having a really tough time. And I said, my mom wants

to start a support group for the parents. And she was like, wow, I love that idea. You can tell, like, they've all, you know, they get really involved and people are nasty out there. Yeah. And it's their kid. Like, not only is Tino's dad getting this backlash, but like his kid. And like you love your kid even sometimes more than, I mean, most of the times, more than yourself. So like watching your kid go through that and having to see those things said about your child is like harder. So that's a great idea. That's actually a really good idea because like they're the only people who have been through that weird ass situation like there's like how else are you supposed to get help for that she should totally start a support group

She's younger than you. That's what I accidentally. posted. I won the generic lottery, but I meant genetic lottery. And everyone's like, do you know, genetic? What are you talking about? And I was like, oh, shit, yeah. We, um, mom will probably kill me. She's not in here right now. She's out by the lake, but she'll kill me for telling the story. But we gave her half of an edible the other night. Oh, my God. The funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Like, she was belly laughing. I got to show you this video I took. Has she ever taken one before? Like, it's no. Oh, that's funny. No. Look, watch. the noises oh my god oh my god the hair across somebody oh she's wild that's exactly what i want to be like what i'm 70 i love her oh my god the hair on the eyelash oh what was she laughing about yeah what happened things happened. Two hilarious

things happened. One, she just couldn't stop laughing and it was just, and she, you know, when you're so high, well, I don't know if you guys know this, but like, if you have an edible that like really, oh, right? What do you guys know when you're, well, I don't know if you wanted to say it on the podcast.

Yes, of course, hire the draft all the time. I forgot what you thought about this on the podcast. But when you get the giggles so hard that you almost panic, like, that's what she was like, no, no, no! laughing so hard. So we were laughing that hard because of two things.

So she wasn't paying attention. She was trying to deal cards. And we were talking at the table. And we were talking about certain white noise to fall asleep. And my sister was like, well, there's brown noise and pink noise. And my aunt said something like, what's brown and pink? And my mom said, blood in your diarrhea. yeah. Why did I know that that's what she was going to say? What do you mean you knew that's what

she was going to say? That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life. No, I had a feeling like what is, like what is brown poop? I did not. We just all started dying laughing. And then the other funny, she was trying, we were like, mom, you're high. And she was trying to say, I know you are, but what am I? And she goes, I know I am. You are. And then she's like, No, wait, no, wait. And then she was like, you are, I am. And we're like, yes, you are. Yes, yes, that's what we said.

Yeah, it was so funny. Yeah. The apple does not fall far from the tree. No, no, no, not far at all. We are, it's so, we are, even her laugh, I'm like, when she's laughing as hard as she was there, I'm like, I laugh like that. Like, we're the same. It's, it's hilarious. But yeah, I'm just so, like, I just look at her and I go, you're 70.

You don't, it doesn't feel like you're 70. 70 feels very like, holy shit. Like 60s, you're still like, okay, your parents are young. But 70, you're like, oh, damn. Is 70 different? So I love that. She sells their spark. Like, when I remember being little and like looking at people who are in their 70s, I was like, oh my God, they're like they looked older. Like, is 70 different now? Like, what are people doing? I think so. I think people are, well, my mom has always taken like incredible care of her skin. She doesn't do fillers, but she does get Botox. And I mean, even so, though, she's still, like, she, she's a young 70. Like, she looks really young.

I think also, she was a professional ballerina her whole life. So, like, her, like, muscle memory. I don't know. Like, when she was tap dancing the other night, I was looking at her calf muscles. And I was like, shit, girl, like, she's got banging legs. She still got it. Yeah. She really does.

She really does. She really does. She's a young 70, and it makes me very happy. My dad kind of is, too. He's like, he's not a firecracker like my mom, but he just seems like a young spirit and like looks younger than he is. Is he 70? And he doesn't do shit. Yeah, he's 70.

Um, and he literally like, but I don't know. Like he uses the same, like he uses shampoo as deodorant and face wash and like ages naturally. It's like all men. I know. It's really annoying. Well, you've got great jeans and I'm jealous. I won the generic lottery. and by generic. I mean, genetic. But yeah, yeah. So maybe we should start that Facebook group.

Wait, I also wanted to bring up the casting ads. They're killing me. They're so funny. Well, also, like, the fact that, the fact that Jason and Johnny were like, I can't get there. I'm not ready to propose. And other people, and then they're like, is your boyfriend not ready to propose? Dump his ass and come on the back to rat. And then you're like, huh? But what is it? Want to move on from the first? friends with benefits that works at the comic bookstore? Like, what? Is this a personal experience? It has to be. Right. Like, and how low of a bar are resetting for this next season? Like, well, there was like, there was one, like, this week that was like, do you want someone to, like, change your cat's litter? That's our standard. Yeah, the bar is in hell. And it's, I just don't understand. I'm like, can we do better than that for what kind of guys we're looking for for the next

season like it should be like are you a millionaire who loves your family and in 10 come on the bachelor like that's what it should be yeah i mean they are funny i definitely have laughed at almost all of them because it's more like a what the f yeah at first at first i was like this is the stupidest thing now i laugh because i'm like what is he gonna say next like what is next week gonna be yeah and like who submits these like who sits around a table and goes like okay this week we're going to say this like who are you paying to say it to do these sounds like what alicia and i do like every week pretty much that's like literally our job just come up with stupid shit that's true so uh they did it actually is madison and i we have been writing them for

the bachelor this whole season i feel like johnny's writing them like what did he put johnny to work yeah i feel like he what did he say what did he say but she's the dopest girl I ever hung with. Yeah. Like, what? Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah. Is that Shakespeare?

Do you want to find someone dope to hang with? Like that's... Right? That's, I think it's Johnny writing these. That's so funny. You were so right when you said he's kind of in his own little world. Like, I really feel like he's just like, I don't know a lot about him. He's very, I mean, man of few words.

And the words he says are just... Yeah. It's Johnny's world. And Gabby's just a squirrel trying to get a nut. Speaking of getting a nut, how about those fantasy suites? The transitions. 10 out of 10 transitions today, everybody. Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, back to the fantasy suites. I'm trying to think of because I'm like, so Gabby clearly I don't think slept with anybody except for Eric because it sounds like they made that pretty clear that that was the plan. off camera and then again on camera which do you think like he said it probably said it off camera and they hate when things are set off camera that they would love to see on TV so they probably were like go do a romantic gesture and then and then subtly bring that up again do you think that she I don't think she agreed not to sleep with anyone else I think that they just like

talked about it and she was like you need to be okay with my journey I wonder do you think they agreed to it my guess is that she was like I think you need to trust my decision Yeah. I don't think she, I don't know if she necessarily committed to the fact that she was going to sleep with somebody else, but I think she was more so like, I think like you need to trust my decision and just be patient with me and allow me to like really like feel all these emotions out. Yeah. And, you know, if she slept with somebody else, like trust that she made that decision because it was like what she needed to do. Yeah. I always say this that when obviously everyone knows I slept with more than just Sean. But like. Like, to me, doing that actually helped make my decision easier at the end. Like, I was like... I mean, that makes so much sense. Makes so much sense. It's a really important part of a relationship for me.

I really did care about all of those guys. And I was in my head about each one of them because I was like, well, Sean is being really insecure. And like, I don't know if it's going to work for us. And is it the right choice or is it because I'm just like the most attracted to him? And Nick would be this and Ben would be this. And I was like weighing out every option. And after... having romantic relations.

It made my decision so clear at the end. I was like, oh, okay, okay. And I get why that would be hard for people. Like, I don't know why. And this maybe is just because I didn't love Chris Souls as much as I was convinced I did. But like, at the end, I was like, I don't love thinking about him sleeping with other women, but like, got a test, drive a car before he buy it. Like, that was my mentality. Like, I was like, I get it.

So for Eric to, like, put her even in. that position is kind of disappointing because it's like, well, you know, I know you're on that show and you know what happens in the fantasy suites. And I know that is not ideal or something you would never want your partner to be doing. And it might seem super clear to you that you wouldn't do it, but you don't know until you're in that position. And yeah, you just got to like, I don't know, have the confidence that if she does, like, you don't need to know about it. If you want to, she could tell you but like this is her i know it's both people's journey but like this is her um she's the bachelor i mean you that's just what happens in that position but also like don't you kind

of want the person who's picking you to like really like you said like it made your decision more clear i feel you'd want them to exhaust all their options and like really pick you at the end versus that's what the show is for yeah literally that's the format of the show to exhaust every relationship to the very possible end, you're meeting families, that's super intimate. You're doing, like, you're taking every step possible to know that this person is either for you or not for you, especially in the short amount of time that you're given, that can be a huge piece of it. Yeah. And I feel like if you felt in that moment that you needed to do, do that, you know, just to like test drive the car or whatever it is. And if you didn't do that

And you got to the end and you were like, well, I knew it was this guy so I didn't sleep with the others. But there was this like, what if I did or this like doubt? You would regret not doing that. Yes. I agree. Literally the point is to make sure that at the end of this, you're going through this really quick two month process that you really, you really know who you're choosing at the end. Yeah, exactly. I agree. It's, to me, very clear. I think everyone that watches is. It's very clear, and it's just always like, I don't know, when you hear someone call them out like that, like when Eric called her out like that, obviously twice, I feel like it's, that's clearly pissed her off. Yeah. And on the flip side, Tino kind of did too. I mean, Tino didn't, I don't know if he'd necessarily called Rachel out, but he said it said something similar to Jesse of like, you know, this is like nails on a chalkboard thinking about her with other people. And I, I don't know. I mean, I get that, but again, when you think about it, I think in hindsight, if you think about it and you're like, okay, if they only didn't do that because of me, like, how do they really know that, like, I'm the person if they, like, needed to go there?

What would you guys do? I'd probably sleep with all of them. I mean, when are you ever going to be the Bachelorette with, like, that opportunity presented to you? I would sleep with all of them and Jesse, and I would call it a day. Got to make sure. There are a couple producers in there, I don't know. Like so many times contestants will, you know, when they, if they become the lead, they go, oh, okay, now I get it being in this position. Like, it's so much different than I thought it was going to be.

So I think Eric would, I don't know. I don't know Eric, obviously, but I feel like he'd have a different perspective if he was the lead. Okay, so what if I told you that no matter your hair type, I found a way to leave your hair healthier looking and always on point? Sounds pretty good. I'm all right? Well, the Infinity Pro by Conair is going to challenge your perceptions of traditional drying with their revolutionary smooth wrap hair dryer. Powered by advanced plasma technology.

That's like Rachel saying I'm falling in love with you and I love you to two people after calling, I was going to say Colton, Clayton out for that.

Like, what do you think about that? Okay. So remind me, I kind of was zoned out at a certain part. So she said her and Gabby were talking about what this is the time in the episode or in the season where Clayton told both of them that he loved them both and that it messed them up. Yeah. Basically they were having the conversation of like, you know, this is where everything like shit hit the fan for us. And Clayton said, I love you so intimately to all three of us. And then told us. us that he was intimate and said, I love you to all three of us. And that was really hard for us to hear. So, like, I think they were both kind of going into it, like, we shouldn't do that. Like, we should be really cautious with our words and what we do. And then, I mean, Rachel said what? So she said, she's falling in love with. Avon. She's in love with Tino. Yes. She said, I love you. I love you. No hesitation. But do you think there's a difference? Because she said falling for the one. And

in love with the other on the bachelor there's a difference in the real life i have no idea i know i think in real life there is a difference i think if someone was like i'm falling in love with you it's like i'm getting there basically but i'm not there yeah and then saying like i love you is like nope i'm there but like on the show it's like i could see myself falling for you i'm going to fall for you i'm falling for you i'm in love with you i love you like there's like there's a It really is such a, like, production of how you go about it. It's like in the rule book. I know that they say there's no rule book. There is. There's a full rule book. And that's part of it. Yeah, for sure. Wait, is there actually? I mean, I don't know. Here's the rulebook. I mean, Ryan from Michelle's season, clearly had a rule book. He had like a red duetang with all the rules. So maybe that's right. That should be the juetian. Alicia. Yeah. We just what? That's not a thing here.

We just learned this word. Dootang is not a thing? Never heard it. Americans listening, a doo-a-tang is not somebody with a double vagina. So that's Canadian? That's what you thought it was? Stop. That's so crazy.

Okay, so Du-Tang's Canadian. I did not know that. So for people listening, it's a folder. Wait, that's so, yeah, it's like a binder. Yeah. Is that a Canadian thing? No, we have binders. Binder is universal.

Well, in English. So that's funny because. I, they edited out all the times I said, Duetang, when we busted Ryan for that thing. And I was like, that was funny for Duetang. Yeah. Okay. Interesting. Also, funny of words, I was looking up when you're like, when you're like, yeah,

you know, like in the fantasy suite, if you want to test drive or whatever, I was looking up other terms for test drive. And I was like, yeah, if you want to sample the goods, if you want to trial run it, if you want to have your taste, if you want to evaluate the situation, a little road dress try it out, trial, a little practice tryouts. Oh, my gosh. Oh, gosh. Examine.

I don't know. Do an essay. Appraisal. Appraisal. Get into the duetang? Yeah. I feel like it sounds so sexual. It does.

It does. But yeah, I feel like other than that, what stood out to you? Oh, gosh. Other than the Zach thing was big, the Tino conversation was big. Otherwise, it was just. What do you think happens? Well, I think Tino's going to propose, obviously. I think that's clear.

And I think they're going to, like, bring in his family when he does it or something. They're going to do something with his family when he proposes, whether that's, like, they fly in and they have another conversation about it. And he goes, I'm going to do this. Like, I need your, I need you to say yes. I don't know. They'll do something. And then clearly, Gabby picks Eric, because he's the only one left. I'm unsure.

I'm unsure. But I don't know. I feel like the thing that's going to change your lives is the fact that I think Gabby's going to end it early. she's going to be gone. So Rachel will be the only bachelorette left. Yeah. I know. I was, I was thinking that, too, like, what else are her and Eric going to do? I mean, he just has to meet her family and then propose. So, like, they're probably going to wrap her stuff up. And then Rachel's got a lot to deal with. And it looks like, according to gossip, I don't know, news, whatever, that Gabby is clearly on the season of Dancing with the Stars. Didn't she get, like, busted going into the studio?

They literally have a picture of her and her faces covered, but she has a keychain that says Gabby. So I think it's confirmed. That's exciting for her. I'm like I'm like the weirdo that genuinely now thinks about my time after the show. Like if I would have done Dance with the Stars right away, which was always the plan and it didn't happen. I'm like, it's going to be so hard on their relationship. And she's going to be gone and she's going to be so like they're not going to have chance to get to know each other. Like I'm worried about them already. So I mean, they're recording Dancing with the Stars now. But they've probably had what like two months to be alone? I mean, what does that look like after the show? Like, how much time do you actually

have to spend with each other? Because you can't be in public. No, not a lot. You get hideout weekends every, like, two or three weeks. But I feel like that's also like if he was having those insecurities about the other guys, like they're probably having to get through a lot of those kind of conversations each week with the show airing. That's true. Yeah. Luckily, just by circumstance. She didn't. She didn't. What were the expressions? Test drive. Sample. No. Get the appraisal. She did not get an appraisal. That's good. I'm going to use that term now. Oh, did you get your appraisal last thing? Oh, man. Okay. So, what else is happening in Bachelor News? Claire announced your new boyfriend on Instagram. Yeah. I don't even know who he is.

Some, some, uh, sports. Is he a somebody? Oh. Sports CEO, Ryan Dock. Yeah, I don't know if he's, I don't know, I mean, good for her. He's a dad, he's an athlete, and that's all I know. And he's private on Instagram, son of a bitch. Okay. We love that. Yeah, we like that. We like that.

Yeah, that's cool. I'm happy for her. I feel like, I don't know. She was another one that I feel like always got a bad rap, but she's such a sweetheart. I feel like it's just because she didn't play by the rules. I don't know. That's kind of what I got up. what I thought of her. Who do you want to be the next bachelor or people are saying like a second

season of somebody? Like is there somebody that you'd want to see go again? Oh, that's a good question. Well, who was a lead before who's single now? Apparently Pilot Pete and Kelly are back together, so not him. Yeah, but I wouldn't want him. No offense. He's probably not listening. But I wouldn't, I wouldn't be excited for that. Yeah, like who, I can't think of who. maybe do your first gay bachelor like who is not not who's single everyone like no one ended up with their person we should make sean booth the bachelor get my engagement up oh okay should we campaign for this should we let's campaign for it the boothler yeah so wait are you saying somebody who was a lead already or somebody who is just like or just somebody from like the past

I just don't think there's many great options from this season. Like maybe Aven. Oh, Aben. I like Avan. Avan would be great. I also think that Mike Johnson still deserves a chance. I also think I know he never will, but Peter Krause, like, people would just lose their shit if he was The Bachelor. Tyler Cameron would like crush, but also I don't think he'll ever do it.

I don't think he'd ever do it. The other thing that, based on this past episode of Rachel dealing with like, she's going to pick Teno and. His parents clearly are not fans. Have you ever introduced someone to your parents or vice versa where it went really bad for you? Because we got some stories from the Vino's of like their bad experiences, meeting parents. Have you ever had one? I've never had a bad experience. No, I really haven't.

I was a little terrified of Jason's family, to be honest, because I think they were just like unsure of like, I don't know. me as a human being but it ended up being like 10 out of 10 incredible so but yeah okay i feel like i never really had a terrible experience i guess just all families love me yeah aren't you lucky unfortunately there are people out there that are just not as lucky as you okay let me hear let me hear some okay but some of these are like it's the situation i think my favorite one is i was in high school and the first day i met his mom she saw me going down on on her son. She did not, she didn't say anything in the moment. I had no idea. And then she called my mom and my mom told me about it when I got home. Oh, I am mortified for her. Oh, that makes me

like feel sick to my tummy. Something very similar happened to my friend in high school too. I think that's just like. Oh, that's so terrible. Oh. That's awful. Yeah, it's not good. That's really awful. The first day, too, like... Oh, that's tough. That's tough. That's a tough bounce. You're not gonna, you're not gonna get past that. You can't recover from that. And then there's a lot about like this girl was partying and then she spent the night at her boyfriend's house and she met his parents hung over and still dressed like from her clothes in the night before and he wasn't even supposed to have girls over at their house. Like, have you ever had like a run-in in a boyfriend's

house or anything with her parents? One time One time when I was 18 One time when I was 18 years old I dressed up as a slutty nurse for Halloween And I went over to my boyfriend's house for dinner Dressed up like that And his family's super religious

And their priest was over for dinner What's you? How is this just coming out? Like how is this not been a confession? I just thought of it right now I just remember this I was literally in a It was a like plastic

short short short dress and like my boobs I like had the biggest pushup bra and I like red lipstick on and like a little nurse hat and it was like my butt cheeks were hanging out and I went what was I even thinking I went to his house for dinner and his parent I remember them looking at me like what is happening and his priest was there for dinner I sat down at the dinner table had dinner with everyone didn't see anything wrong with it like years later I was like that was so stupid but in the moment I did not care wow that's like the episode of friends where Rachel wears lingerie out to dinner. Yes.

But that was not by her choice. That was like, you chose this. I chose this. Yeah. I chose that. Damn. What a, what a, yeah, I was a real treat. How long did you date him for?

Oh, he was my high school sweetheart. We dated for like four years. Oh, wow. Well, you did something right. Yeah. I just thought you were like a little nurse. Yeah. They were like, oh, she just got off work.

Yeah, it just got on work. It was so bad. Like that, I look back on that costume and I'm like, wow, I was like that girl at 18. I was that girl. We actually did want to warn you because today everything was going wrong and we thought Mercury was in retrograde. So we went to Is Mercury in Retrograde.com? And it's not, but it goes into retrograde on Friday. So the day after this episode comes out.

So I just wanted to warn everyone about that. Oh, that's such a nice warning. God, we should always warn people about that. We should have a schedule and let everyone know. Yeah. Find it your first. Okay. Do you enjoy these last few days?
