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. This week's Off The Vine is sponsored by Geico.

Get ready to shake. things up. Here's Caitlin. Welcome to Off the Vine. I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow. Today on the podcast, I had the chance to sit down with an actor-singer, host, and one of everyone's favorite boy banders of all time. You may have seen him on Family Feud, The Masked, The Masked Singer, Common Knowledge, a million other shows, including two shows that I am a huge fan of, impractical jokers, and Dancing with the Stars. But I think what we all know him from is a little boy band group called N. Sink, which also happened to be my first concert. And I was recently on his Facebook Live music trivia show with also the host, Jason, who's on here with us today. The show is called

What Does Joey Know? And immediately I knew that we needed to be friends and that I needed to have him on my own show. So please welcome to the podcast, Joey Fetone and Jason. I am Joey Fetone. Okay. I'm Jason Logan. No one knows who I am. But that's okay. of all people do because you guys have a show together that you do on facebook live and you are jason you're the host right i am the host only because joey says hey you have to host this i'm like no it was actually no let's be real here you did you did you started it you actually did something on facebook by yourself where you were playing i don't care what were you doing exactly i would do it right i listen i during this whole covid thing everybody i i'm a dj by trade and i dj disney weddings and

corporate events here in Orlando, all over the country, all over the world. I go all over a place. And I see all these DJs putting all their, you know, DJ sets up online and you can pay for it all this. I'm like, that's not what I do. And that's not what I, but what I do do, that's fun, is I play games. So I got on Facebook Live, the only way I know how to do it. And I started playing TV theme songs.

And lo and behold, the one the person, I was watching him, chiding in. He's chimed in. He's like, that's this song. That's Josie the Pussy Cats. That's Welcome Back Connor. scrimby. Yeah, and that's exactly how it came about. I said, dude, why don't we do that together? I said, we'll play music instead of just theme songs and kind of do all these things. And we're like, all right, let's find out. And that's kind of how happened. His manager, Joe Maldon, he's like, calls me up. He's like, hey, man, what are you doing? And I go, I told him what I did? He goes, Joey is obsessed right now. He wants to do it. He goes to do this. And so we got together. We're doing it. What does Joey know? And we're having a fun day. We can do this in March.

He quizzes me on stuff. And then we have celebrities on and just like yourself was on. and we quiz people and just have conversation, which is kind of cool because it breaks it up and also it gives us to a different kind of venue or venture off to another thing that we would never thought of saying. Like, for instance, we were playing a bunch of food stuff with Guy Fietti.

And then it was my build shake brings other boys to the arts. I was like, you know what? I was like, guy, what makes a great milkshake? And he literally went off in this whole thing of like great vanilla bean ice cream. And of course he knew it, but I would have never had to ask him that question. What makes a great milkshake?

You know, things like that. it's fun. Well, and what's fun is the music is now, the music's the vehicle just to get to know people like yourself. Yeah. You know, like, Joey was like, he goes, I'm sorry, I've just never watched The Bachelor or The Bachelor. I'm like, how are you not part of Bachelor nation, Joey?

I'm sorry. I apologize. It's been fun. It's been fun getting to know our guests that are like, you know, guy, you know, guy, everybody knows who Guy Fieri is. You know, Joey's friends with him, Wayne Brady, boys to men. We're familiar with those people, But, you know, when the Caitlin Bristow's roll around, you're like, hey?

Yeah, we're getting people like, I've never, you know, you always call your friends. I'm sure like, Katie, you probably were like, okay, I'll get my podcast. Let me call some people I know to get the ball rolling. And now we started getting just people that we don't even know, which is great because then again, it opens up more friendship. It opens up just different talks and different topics that we would never talk before. So it's really cool. Yeah, that's how I feel about even podcasting from home and quarantine. Like I used to be like, no, I have to do the podcast in person.

I want to fly out to L.A. I need to sit down face to face. And now having this, being able to do over Zoom, I'm like, I get to meet so many other people that I would have never got to meet, have so many different conversations that I would have never had. So thanks, quarantine for something. Yeah. And what's also cool about it is, is when people are at their house too as well,

they feel more comfortable. That's the other thing, too. They're not like, oh, my gosh, and so stiff, I don't know, I'm just lighting. How is this? They set up their own stuff, make sure how they want to look. And that's it. Set it up. Let's go.

You know, so- Look, Caitlin, Joey needs Wall treatments back there, window treatment. I need to work on your backdrop, or is that like the authentic Joey? It's like, yeah. That's how it started. That's how it started, and I kept it that way. Meaning, like, legit.

I'm like, that's the back of my table with blinds and shit. So, screw it. But I may have something. And real. I feel like I'm right there in your living room or your office or whatever that is with you. And you go to have a house. Legitimately, my kitchen is over there.

This is kind of like a dining. room table. Oh, really? It looks like an office. No, no, not an office. There's a bar right there, too. Why is an office? Look, I had to put this thing up here.

He's in the closet. Caitlin, there's my junk. You know. Beauty of what we get to do. You know, you can have connections with celebrities in your closet. Exactly. Who's your dream guest that you would want to have on your show?

dream guest to have on the show jason what about you i'm let me think about that for a second uh who would you who would you like you know well my wife when we were going through this whole thing you know y'all should try and get uh prince harry and his wife on i'm like yeah okay that's happening well megan markle and prince harry are coming on sure that's happening yeah okay good luck um i don't know like us you know they're just trying to be regular people you never know true I just, you know, some of the, some of the people would be good would be like Will Smith, but probably not right now, just because I'm sure he doesn't want to talk to nobody. Also, like Tom Hanks, Tom, but Tom Hanks is a good friend, but I've never had a question,

like a sit down, let's talk and have some other stuff. It was more or less of when I was doing my big, fact, Greek wedding, he'd come out, how's it going, we'd have dinner, but not like sit down. And it's weird because I know him, but I don't know him, no. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know what you mean. I love, I always call him Tommy Hanks, but I love him, and I'm obsessed with Rita. I got to meet her for a voice thing that we did in Nashville, and she is just so lovely and

such a, like... Oh, she's awesome. She's such a dull. I just love them so much. They're such like the Hollywood true love story. Yeah, it was crazy, actually, because we, with, when Instinct started, it was really crazy because when it started getting popular, Tom approached us and always wanted to do a, like a help movie from the Beatles but make it like an in sync one so he has playtone which is production company

and we started talking back and forth with it trying to figure out he you know he would throw an idea we like eh we don't like it we throw an idea like eh so we never came across you know on the same plateau but the cool thing about it was is i got to meet some of the people in the office and there was this girl wendy that was working in the office in it and like almost like a teen young kids department for the for casting but she even she even said to me as i walked in just to say hi to i went to go say hi to tom and a couple of people and also she's like you know what there's a movie that they need like a small role. It might be good for you because of the fact

that you're recording stuff. It's called my Big Factory Wedding. If you want to read it, take a look. I was like, all right. So right there, I was like, when they have an audition, they go right now. I'm like, okay. So I read the sides.

I went in, did the audition, talked to Nia, who was obviously the writer and the casting director, who kind of knew who I was, but didn't know I had any acting backgrounds. So they were like, okay, this kid from NSYNC is really just going to come in and try to freaking act this shit. And I pulled it off, obviously. Obviously.

I'm just kidding. But right after that, literally they called me back up and say, hey, we love you to come out. I shot like not even a week in Toronto. And it was a $5 million budget and it was like, eh. But then it grossed over $280 million. It was like one of the biggest romantic comedies of all time. Wow. Oh, I didn't even, I mean, I knew I found that in my research that you were.

But I mean, I remember watching that and I didn't even realize until I was doing my research and reading. I was like, oh, right. Well, it was, again, a small role. But as you look at the, if you look at the second one, if you've never seen the second one, you've got to see the second one. interesting one. I mean, I'm not trying to bash one of your other band members, but Justin Timberle cannot act. And I thought, yeah. You know what he is? I'll be honest with you. No, no, he's, he's actually a good actor as far as comedic timing and everything else. So like S&L you see, he's great on, fantastic on. I agree with that. The weird part about it for me is, is I know him. So it's so weird when you really

know somebody and someone tries to be dramatic. Comedy is funny and it's easy. You can get away with But when someone's dramatic, you've got to kind of like, I don't buy it. But the only movie that I did see that I did buy it was a movie called Alpha Dog that he did. I was a good one. That was a good one. Tusha. That was actually a really great movie. I went and saw it with him in a small theater before it even came out.

And it was obviously it was going to be an independent film. And I watched it. I was like, dude, I was like, pretty damn good, bro. That was awesome. Like, he played a really great role in that film. Other ones obviously are more comedic And that's where That's where it hits home for him

I think more the I think what was the one That was one that was in Coney Island That Woody Allen did Oh Woody directed a film I can't remember now what it was called darn it But he was pretty good at it But it was a very dramatic

Kind of role It was interesting He played he played a lifeguard And it was like a love affair With this girl or something like that Yeah it's crazy You didn't think he was good in the Facebook one that was one of his first ones he was okay and i mean he just he looked like it was himself to me i think

what like kind of what you said and what i'm feeling is you just know him as a certain you know musician and doing this that you know what even if he was a great actor everyone would probably have comments on it because you just don't know him as an actor you're like don't try to act it's like when i wrote to single everyone's like i'm going to download this because we want to make fun of her because she you know how many people come up a reality tv show moved to nashville and be like now I'm a singer. Obviously it happens, though. It does.

I mean, you look at J-Lo, though, too. J-Lo was a dancer. Then she became, I guess, some sort of an artist, and then acting. And she pulled it off pretty darn well, I would say, because I think she positions herself in the right things.

You know what I mean? You're right. Right projects. You're right. And now you have two girls now, am I correct? I have a 19-year-old and a 10-year-old. so are they like are you like a regular dad or a cool dad to them for being in and sing or are they like just embarrassed by

um i'm like a regular slash cool dad i guess i don't know what the hell i am because sometimes to my older one i'm a dork yeah uh but her friends all think i'm cool because i've been practical jokers not even because i've been sick Chloe come here my 10 year old's here we'll ask for the best though i hope i'm a dork parent like i hope my kids think i'm a dork because that's like kind of, you know, like a form of flattery. Exactly, exactly. Come here for a second. I'm doing an interview, and they're asking what, like, how does, how does Brianna,

but how do you think, think I am? Like, how do I, how do I, like, how do you, how do you, like, am I a good dad? Am I cool or dorky or what am I? Cool. Why am I cool? Because you have VR. Because I have VR. And I also have the sugars.

And I have sugar gliders, too. That's why I'm cool. only reason why I'm also you're a lovable guy okay do I do anything else no I'm like I'm not a good father I don't mentor anything I don't teach you how to do things I teach you how to poop and fart that's great right she turns so red oh you are such a sweetie that's this is Chloe say hi nice to meet you all right not get out of here good bye love you so I guess I'm I'm a cool one but when they get older like it's so funny because it's funny to watch

my kids friends be like I want to hang out with your dad he's so much fun he's cool and then my daughter's like you're a dork I don't want to hang out with you like that stupid kids want to hang out with you like that the stupid kids want to hang all my friends thought my parents are cool growing up

and no kid really wants to just even if they do want to hang out with their parents they got to pretend like they don't want to right yeah that's the cool thing to do and isn't Lance their god parent he he is the god mother slash father we like to call him yeah of

of Rihanna I think Oh, my God, I'm losing my brain. Yeah, I believe it's Brianna. Because Chloe has my best friend, Richie. Yeah. I just noticed that. I have two gay guys that are godfathers. That's amazing.

Welcome to the world, Joey. Welcome to the world. Well, I've known. You're so close with him, obviously. Yeah, I'm close with him, and I'm also, my best friend, Richie is, yeah. I've known a kid since kindergarten. I've known Lance, obviously, gosh, since 95 now, 94, 95, I would believe. And we, you know, we toured around the world together.

Do you get sick of people? talking about the NSYNC stuff because you've done so much since or are you like like are you it doesn't bother me no i know sometimes it bothers certain people i think or certain certain people it annoys them the oh my god but it's it's something that everybody wants to know so why not give them the answer i get it i've heard it a hundred times but maybe that 101 person didn't hear it so no we're

not getting back together at the moment uh you know everybody's obviously not a little hiatus um we still do merch stuff together within sync in a sense there's still t-shirts and things that we kind of come up with has there been a thought or talk about getting together not yet but we just did not too long ago we did Coachella with ariana grande which was cool and it was crazy and then that sparked up interest for the four of us to go out so then it was that question of do we go out with Justin or do we or do we go with him or does he not even want to go with us or do something so that process I don't know what's happening even now just because everybody's been kind of chilling with their home with their families and being home and obviously there's nowhere really to do in a sense but i would say let's be real here

this would be the perfect time to start writing music this would be the perfect time to start doing something have we done that oh no but it is what it is do you like writing and and like do you do music i suck it writing i'm not the greatest i dabble a little bit but everything that comes out of my mouth is more dirty so i don't think a lot of the tracks would be great yeah but a little rap break right but i do come up with like i do come up with a lot of the concepts um a lot of stuff of the staging i'm a theater kind of person so i see more of the theatrics of it yep so that's what i am that's what i do what about you jason uh yeah listen if justin doesn't want to go on i'm i'm there i've got everything happening i've got a i've got a i've got a like a notepad here full of ideas of songs

and three of them no man i listen i it's funny because joey and a lot of people on our show are like fanatics. I would I say, they're not fans, they're fanatics. And they love it. And they, all they want to do is get back out.

They want in sync to get back out there and do it. But, you know. I think everyone does because, I mean, you guys were the It band. We were, we were not too bad.

We weren't too shabby. We talked about this today on our show today, Caleb's like, I asked Joey, I'm like, dude, I mean, listen,

it's been 20-something years since you guys were out there and top of the thing. But I go, you were the biggest band. And it's weird, the world. I mean, I wouldn't say so much the world. Yes, you were. Joey, at that time, you guys were.

You know what sucks about it, though? There was no Instagram, Twitter, there was nothing. So think about how big we had to get or to see us when there was no social media. Yeah, but think about all the crazy shit that could have come out on social media that might have ended the band earlier. Lance coming out, like coming out at the wrong time. who knows how many videos of you know people no we actually you know what's so funny about it though we never really honestly we never really did anything bad nobody was like a druggie no one was like an alcoholic nobody broke shit nobody did really anything bad thank the lord not gone wood so they

really didn't have anything on like to do like it was weird probably had like some serious management watching you and you like were still under that you know the no it wasn't like the gestapo or anything like that it was more like it was just more like we know what was right and what was wrong and if we did something wrong would we jeopardize what we were doing right do you know what i mean it's let's be smart about it more people should think like you guys because it's simple i mean how old were you while you were in in sync when we started i was i just graduated from high school it was 17 18 years old justin was 14 lance was 16 me and jac C were the same age age around 17, 18, and Chris was 24.

I did not know that. Okay, so then I put myself in your position, getting that much fame, attention, money, and going on tours and stuff. I would have done dumb shit. I wouldn't run right from wrong. Oh, not so much dumb shit. It's like reckless dumb shit,

but shit like, oh, look at that couch. I want to buy it. Okay, cool. Each cushion, I want different color. I did this shit. True story. Each cushion was a different color. I don't know why.

I was excited to do it. I wanted something different. brand new house I bought my dad was the one because I was on the road so my dad was the one helping me out I never bought a car until I was 19 I never had a license until I was 19 and when I bought a car the first thing that was really funny because I told my dad I go dad you know I really I'm thinking about buying a car I'm like I don't know what kind of car like like how much you think I can buy like for a car you know I don't even know how much my dad literally went to me and Joe right now you can probably buy what a car you want and I was like and because I

had no concept of money. Think about this. The concept was I see zeros. And at first, though, let me rewind a little bit. At first, for a while within sync, we weren't getting a lot of money just because Luke Perlman and that whole thing went down. He was taking a lot of that money. But then when money started really coming in, it was kind of like, oh, shit. So there was no, let me see the tag anymore. It was, I want that. I like that. I want that. I want that. Yes, I want that. Cool. Make that work. If you can make this work, let's do this. And then the bills start adding up, and then you start to realize how your account starts to go down. I was going to say.

But Caitlin, you probably have figured this out, too. The more famous you get, the more free stuff you get. Well, that's the thing. That's something that I love about when it comes to, like, my tax guy, my accountant, he's like, you know, you really don't have a lot of outgoing purchases, like compared to a lot of the girl clients I have with, like, purses and clothes and hair and makeup. And I'm like, well, technically, like, they just gift it to me.

And he was like, that's incredible. So crazy, but I mean, you go through that was, was that something that then you had to take a step back and look at and, and or are you still like that now? No, you know, again, as we all get older, I mean, let's think about this at around 19 years old, you know, millions of pretty millions of dollars. No, no BS. But it was one of those things of I didn't even know what to do. We had an account in the very first count I had piece of shit. So I had told me, yeah, he was not that great. Told told me he had a living will. He told me he had a living will. he wrote it great for me, blah, blah, blah. And then even when I said, hey, if I can buy this house, am I going to be able to live in it for the rest of my life? He was like thinking, of course, if NSIC was going to go on forever, yes, your kids, kids, kids are going to be able to. So that in my mind went as again, 19, 20 years old going, sweet, let's get this big ass house. Yeah. So I had a house that was on four acres, 10,000 square feet. My bedroom alone was 3,200 square feet. If you could picture

you that. If you go, actually, if you go on, if you go on YouTube, I'm sure you can find it. They have like this whole thing because I was selling it. And one day we woke up, me and my ex at the time, we were together. She's like, we need to get the hell out of here. She goes, it's just way too much. Things just, it's not like if something breaks like an air conditioning in a normal, let's even go this for it. Even if it's a 4,000 or 5,000 square foot house, which is still big. Yeah. A 10,000 square foot house for an air conditioner is, you know, it's not two grand. It's 20 grand that's broken. Or, yeah. The pool broke down.

It's not, it's not a thousand. It's 10,000. And you're like, holy crap. So I literally went and looked around my house and I went, you know what? Let's get rid of all this shit. Let's get rid of everything. And I did a sale that my mother went to it. She goes, it looked like you died.

Because I got rid of everything. I was like, anything that had my face on or anything or anything of my name was gone. But all clothes, sneakers. I had a wall of sneakers that I got rid of it. Now my dumb ass is I'm buying more now. but I'm smart about it. I'll buy maybe one a month and I won't go crazy. And when the fame goes down a little bit, the free stuff does go down.

So I don't have as much free sneakers as I used to back in the day. So I'm okay with it. That's the thing. You start to me for me, honestly, I started to live within my means in a sense of what makes me happy. I don't need to just elaborate shit anymore. I did it. That's the funny part. I'm watching people and all these kids now that are making the money that they're making

and they've never, like, a lot of TikTok people and stuff, some of them are smart and some of them are not, they're just blowing their shit. I'm like, go ahead, blow it. It's fine. And they're like, oh, I'll be fine. I'm like, not in 10 years you might not be. No, they don't think longevity. They're just like in the moment, seeming cool on TikTok. And I would have been the same way. Now I'm like frugal and I'm so smart about my money, but I went back then. But it's funny. How did you sell your stuff? Like, have a little yard sale? No, it was a, what do you call it? A estate sale. I had an estate sale. I had an estate. day sale where I legitimately had a company come in, tag everything in my house.

When the lady came in and I said, hey, I want you to do an estate sale. She's like, okay, what do you want? I go, pretty much everything. And she was like, okay, what I thought was going to take maybe a couple of days, took about two weeks for them to tag everything. Now, I had a garage separate from the house that was 3,200 square feet as well. It was a five-car garage. It was my man cave.

and I had in that garage on the side of it was all like my Christmas stuff so I basically had a home depot in my garage because it was all lights ladders heat lamps anything I needed for a party like anytime I had a party and I didn't get something I was like oh my gosh it's cold out today meanwhile think about we're in freaking Florida oh it's so cold you know what heat lamps what do I need buy a dozen of them yeah a big tall freaking heat lamps and shit I bought a dozen of those yeah so you live and you start to learn that you don't need all that shit but how fun was that time you Amazing.

Then I had a viper, then I had a priper. that I had a prowler, which is this ugly looking... It was yellow, though, too, with these wheels on the side. I don't think they make them anymore.

And then I had the Knight Rider kit car from Night Rider. I had one of them. Yeah. So I bought it at an auction, and I, you know, kind of cleaned it up, put a $350 engine in it, and now it sits in my buddy's garage for a while. And I'm like, I need to get rid of this. It just sits there. That's the other thing.

It just sits there. Why is it sitting there? Because I'm not home. So why the hell am I doing this? You want to know a fun fact about me is when I was 18, I rebuilt a 77 Nova. and with because it was my high school sweetheart's car and I like loved him and I was like I want to learn and we like like wrecks and like found seatbelts and bucket seats and we did the engine and we painted it baby blue and we like did everything I was standing it down I learned so much

it was so much fun that's cool I would have never thought that and that's great you'd be like listen I don't do a car and now you're not with him so that's great yeah I also know how I Something I'm very proud of is I know how to change a flat tire. Not many, not that they're like, oh, helpless, not many women do. And sometimes not many men do either. Well, I think, you know what I think is it's just like, now there's so much convenience of calling someone to be like, come pick me up. Or AAA.

Yeah, AAA. Just dial a number, press a button in your car and they're there to fix it anyway. So that's why. Does that make us lazy? Yeah, we are the laziest generation of all time. like everything is about convenience at your fingertips. Like, did you ever see that, do you ever watch Ellen stand up? I haven't lately, but yes, I've seen it.

I've seen it the new one, the newer one that it just came out on Netflix. Yeah, but this one was like her old school one where she was talking about how, like, lazy people have gotten. She's like, she was talking about how everyone is so inconvenienced that we even have gogurt now because yogurt is too much of an inconvenient. It's true. I got a fridge full of gogurts right now. Fantastic. All the flavors.

Oh, I got a nine-year-old kid who I'm trying to make me healthy. But of course, late night, I'm like, what is there to eat? Goert, I'm in. I just ate a Pop-Tart last night, and it was the best decision of my life. I was like, you know, do you ever have those Sundays where you're just like the biggest piece of shit? That was the Sunday. Yeah. Every Sunday, I look forward to just being what I like to call a screen door on a submarine, because that's useless.

and I just eat anything and everything. I don't move off the couch. I binge watch things. And yesterday I ate, this is embarrassing. I somehow was capable of making macaroni and cheese after my little cat nap. You ate the whole box, didn't you? I love you. I love you.

I love you. I ate the leftovers that was sitting by my bed. This is my confession for you right now. That's what I ate the leftover cold hard craft dinner that was sitting by my bed. What made you do that, though? Along with, there was a corn on the cob. One corn on the cob by my bed. I was like, okay, that needs to go in the garbage.

But, ooh, I'll finish the rest of that mac and cheese. And then I went into the cart. I'm still hungry. So I ordered postmates, and I got, do you know Fizzolis? Of course. Yeah. Okay. So I got Fazzolies, the breadsticks are to die for.

I just crushed so much pasta and breadsticks and tried to be healthy while I got a little side salad, didn't touch it. And then while Postmates was being delivered to me, I went to Uber Eats just so I could get donut sent at the same time. I'm not joking. And then I was like, well, I'm hungry again. Postmates McDonald's McDonald's with cookies. Where does it go? I don't know. My boyfriend says that all the time with the amount of, I mean, I'm not trying to bring.

but I can drink a lot and I think that's from like where I grew up in Canada like it was just that's all everyone did thing to do he's like you eat and drink and like you still just say the exact same since and it's been like that since I was younger I mean it's a blessing and a curse because then I'm just feeding my body shit all the time but it didn't stop there I got McDonald's and then I started crushing pop tarts and cereal before bed and one more corn on the cub you're in California right now I'm in Nashville Nashville that's right shit I was about to say, are you smoking weed too? Jesus. No, it's not even legal here.

That's why I asked. I was like, wait a minute. You know, you weren't, I'm like, how are you like eating all of that and not? Make a lot of sense if food was legal here. And I even made an Instagram story last night. Jason, I'm sure you saw it. I'm on your, I'm on your feed 24th, of course. I was like doing this talk and I was like high on life last night after my day of just, you know, it makes me happy when I can eat and drink and do whatever I want. Hell yeah.

And so I was like, I was like, I swear I'm not high right now. Because I was even talking like I was hot. I think I was just around with salt and sugar. So how, but here's the question now, how good was the macaroni and cheese that morning? I'm sure it was probably good day. It was delicious. It's horrible to say, but I'm sure it was probably good. I threw it in the mic for like 10 seconds and I added a little ketchup, ketchup on my mac and cheese.

You know what, though? Here's another little, little side note. If it does get little gamey or kind of nasty or if it's in the refrigerator, add a little bit of milk, put in the microwave, heat it up, makes it back up. It's mac and cheese again. It doesn't taste anything else. It's amazing. Everybody knows that.

Not everybody. Trust me. Not everybody knows that. One time I actually cooked for a bunch of kids when I was doing a thing on Broadway, on Broadway, but it was in Pittsburgh. And I made macaroni and cheese. And the kid was like, oh, my God, this is so amazing. How did you make this?

And I went, it's a box, dude. My friend Cody was on Broadway all the time. Cody literally was like, oh, my, he was so excited. I was like, you've never had Velvita shells before. It's all about the ratio of cheese and the dairy and the butter. But do you like, do you like the, do you like the powder or do you put the, you like the cheese, the cheese? I like the powder. Really?

Yeah. I don't mind it, but I have, no. What is that? Oh, the Belvita? Yeah, the Velvita has a pouch. It's a cheese pouch and it actually has melt like cheese in it. So when you, yes, you never seen it. Don't get the skinny box.

get the elongated box of the Obita. You know what? Hold up. Let me show you. I'm so, do you know about this, Jason? I do, but I enjoy the powder because it's nothing better than a box of craft macaroni and cheese. It's the best. I'm with you.

Look at this. Box, right? Hang on, I'm going to open up just to show you. It's not powdered. It's not a powdered thing. By the way, he will be making this and eating it for dinner time. See, that scares me a little bit. I feel like I'm dumping, like, plastic sauce on my...

It is, but it's amazing. Like, geez whiz. Hey, speaking of disgusting, in a sense of getting up, just reminded me, my buddy Scott, I have to say this for you. Have you ever had hallway food before? Hallway food? What's that? Basically, and I've seen him do it, too.

You were drunk one time walking down from a party or a club or something, and we were in a hotel. Hallway food. And he would walk down, and there'd be somebody with room service on the whole. Lord, he would pick it up and eat it. Yeah, I've done that. I've done that. I only did that once.

I was in Vegas, and it was fries, and they were still warm, so I didn't feel too terrible. I think I was 21, and I remember being like, Caitlin, this is a low point. Like, you are truly disgusting. And I still went ahead with it because they were warm. Why not? What do you? I'm a big fry guy. Now you can't, though.

You never know, Corona. I will never. I will never. do that again. No, I remember being in Vegas once and you know how like at the pool parties you can just like step in and the water only comes up to like your thigh. Oh yeah. Disgusting water. Like it's disgusting. I remember from time I was like my hair was in a ponytail. I had no makeup on. I like didn't understand Vegas, which I'm kind of proud of. And my other girlfriend was like dolled up to the nine and she had her hair extensions in and her fake eyelashes on and she had this

fancy drink and I was just like crushing like a gin and soda. out of a cup and I went to like step in like I knew what I was doing and we both just went straight under the water it was like the deep end and all this like cool water went into my drink and I continued to drink it yeah I got so sick that night just a cut like a little suntan lotion regardless of whatever thing is in there as well but it's just a lot of it gets cloudy pee so much pee like it was disgusting I was like who is 21 year old Caitlin in Vegas she can't became, yeah, I became smarter when I used to, there's a few times later on that I did go to some of those pools. You just go earlier to just, at least you can go in the pool at that time.

And then when more people start going in, that's when you get out, drink and dance and have a good time because there's no more going in that pool. Like that rehab party where it was like 11 in the point and it was like half of it. Oh, rehab's crazy. Rehab and there was Tao, town beach as well, which was fun. Yeah, it was good times. It actually makes you a moment just thinking about, like somebody took a sip of my drink and they said you could start a car with that. I survived. You paid 14 bucks for that thing so you were going to keep drinking.

Hell yeah. You know what I did? I paid for one so that I got the cup and then I would take it up to my room and dump other alcohol in there and then go back down because I was like, I'm paying an 18. Hell yeah. Yeah. God, rookie. I was not a rookie.

Other people were. All right. So some of us have found ourselves having a lot of free time recently. What are you doing in your? free time.

Okay, I just have to say because I'm like such a nerd for impractical jokers. How did, do you just know them or how did that happen?

How weird how that came about. I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York. I have family in Staten Island. That's just a little backstory because, fast forward, they started, you know, having their Impractical Jokers show. I was a fan of it the first season. And out of nowhere on Twitter, so many people started, you know, tweeting me saying,

hey, the guys from Practical Jokers are talking about you on their podcast, and they're really big fans. I'm like, so I listened to the podcast, and it was Sal and Q. And they had a podcast called What Say You. And they were talking about Superman symbols and tattoos. So I have a tattoo Superman symbol on my ankle. So all of a sudden they were talking about it.

And they were like, okay, well, who has a Superman tattoo? Q has one on his arm, Superman one. He's like, Shaq has one. Bon Jovi has one. Joey Patone has one. And then Sal went into this whole thing of knowing every song on the albums of Insane. Like he knew like beast sides and sides it. Like makes me ill.

He knew every freaking word. So he was singing it and doing all stuff. So I send them on a message, Twitter and say, hey, you guys talking about me as a joke? And then me and South started talking to each other. I happened to go to New York around Thanksgiving with my family at that time and visit my cousin to Staten Island. So I said, hey, man, I'm going to be in New York. I love to come see you guys. Are you taping or anything?

He goes, yeah, actually we're shooting at the Carnegie Deli at the Saturday of some shit. Yeah. So he goes, all right, come if you want to come by. I was like, cool, I'd love to. But on the phone, he's talking to me. He goes, maybe we have some mutual friends or your cousin. I go, who goes, your cousin, he goes, your cousin, Vanessa. and Thomas? And I go, yeah, I go, I'm looking at them right now. They're in my house.

I mean, I'm in their house. And he's like, no way. Thomas said hello. And they went to college together, actually, in Staten Island. So once that happened, we go to Carnegie Daly, me and my older daughter, Brianna, we're standing there. We have a monitor to ourselves. They're in the corner, you know, doing their thing where they're shooting them. And all of a sudden, I think Joe went up and I think Murr went. And after that, Q was like, so, you want to go in for me? And I went, what do you mean he goes that'd be fun he goes you know what we'll have you tag in just say hey you don't I don't want to do it you come in and then we'll put you in I was like okay so they put me in an outfit put the thing in my ear send my ass out not no direction no nothing I go in there and I'm like

what am I doing my I thought someone was going to beat my ass so all the stuff I was doing obviously I pommed the guy's freaking pastrami I was taking stuff out of people's teeth with a napkin so it was fun and then my claim the famous is I had to say my name is joie fit my pants in front of everybody had to shut everybody up and say that so yeah yeah so you have a t-shirt with that on there too don't you joey i have i sell t-shirts now and it says my name is joey petona just shit my pants i would rock that t-shirt with so much pride we will definitely get you on that's that's a that's we can do that i am weirdly excited about that um i i i okay let's do confessions Because my confession, I've already confessed way too much.

Right. But here's one. I have a weird attraction to Sal. Why? But what's the weird? Is it because he's more of a germophobe or is there something innocent about him? Is it innocence maybe? You know what?

That's what it is. Oh, my gosh. somebody, I just had this conversation with somebody on my last podcast, we were talking about how innocence just gets me. And I like, he's got like some sort of little, he's pure and innocent and he like gets scared of cats. And I just like, I don't know. I just got a good crush on him. True story. We were shooting the show. I host a show called, uh, In fact, the drug is after party. And I have cue cards at my hand. I'm holding the cue cards. And he's sitting next to me. And he's eyeing the cue cards. He keeps staring at it. I'm like, what freck is he?

I go, if I look at him, I go, that corner's bothering you, isn't? He goes, yeah, it seems like it's going to come and poke me right in the damn eye. I go, you're serious, Sal, I goes, yeah. I go, okay. I fall, he folded the corners for me because he didn't want it. And every time I kept making him back up, he's like, no, no, no, no, fold him again. He was, yeah, freaking out. That's so hot.

Yes. Gosh, I don't know what confession I have. I have too many confessions, I think, maybe. Well, go on. I mean, to end that, I'm friends with him on Twitter, and I was like, sick. It's going to happen. Send him your friends about, send him a message. Say, hey. I think you should be like, Joey's more hotter than you. And not Gatto. Yeah. I'm going to take a screenshot right now and send him. Or you know what? You could text him and say, you're no Faton. You could say that to him. That's funny. Because that's in one of the skits they do. Okay. Okay. Perfect. I will. Okay. Tell me your confession.

What do you want to know? Is the thing I'm trying to think? The juiciest confession you can possibly think of. Oh, my gosh. Something that will get me some downloads, maybe even a headline or two. No, but I'll do a confession that many of not people know, and it's pretty disgusting. It was kind of funny.

Way back when, this is actually even before in sync, I was kind of in high school and stupid shit that we did. Went out to a place, a buddy of ours had a house or we rented it. He rented to something like that. We're hanging out. We all had coronas and drinking beers and stuff. hanging out, drinking, getting a little drunk. And all of a sudden, one of our boys was really wasting and obnoxious.

So I was like, all right, cool. Let me grab up a beer. I pop it open. I sip some of it, and I piss in the bottle. I don't think I've ever told anybody this story. So I peed a little bit in the bottle, and then I put it back in the refrigerator so it would get a little cold again. The guy goes like this.

He goes, hey, I say my beer. And then just completely threw it away. But he took a sip, and I was like, oh. I thought he was going to chug it, but he did. he took a sip of it and then put it down so i was like you just drank piss and beer at the same time and that was disgusting no i never told him never told him he doesn't know to his day and i just seen him not that long ago stop it probably about less than a year ago something like that was a friend of mine from high school uh yeah i'm not saying it

oh my gosh that happened to one of my buddies like we used to have these things called bush parties because we lived all lived on like farmlands and somebody one of to my buddy is peed in another guy's beer and he they dared him to chug it and he literally just projectile vomited everywhere and it was like traumatic still to this day for me to go so i'm like when i hear that i'm like you did not you need to tell him tell him to listen to this podcast i'm i'm he'd probably be so mad i don't know he probably like yeah that's okay i think one or two of all the two other guys we we all were in on it so there's two people out there that know what happened as well but yeah it's high school we're stupid we're kids trust me that's what

well my lights just turned off that's weird that's sweet with the light the other one behind it like I'm like brighter I just feel it seems like another one I've got another confession here we go okay good not that it's bad but it's good to have a good friend to help out when you when you're in need and my buddy Joel I was in high school another drunk stupid story we're driving he's like oh I got I'm sick I feel like I'm gonna throw up so he opens up the car and he's trying to puke and it won't come out he's going oh and he's trying to stick his finger down his throat and I'm like dude you're right you're sure he's like no I can't get it down I'm like all right and I shove my finger down

his throat and I'm literally like this nope you're not throwing up yet dude come on let's go get it out and then finally right I was like oh yeah we got it so I'm friends are four I can't handle it puking is like one of my biggest fears and I hate it so so so much and the thoughts of your little finger dancing in his throat making them puke oh yikes yes those were highly entertaining confessions oh here's another confession here we go we're here aren't we yep um this is a horrible one though this is pretty bad perfect great i can't wait for all fans to hear this not you know what i can't say it's not say it joey come on you have to screw it i'll say it if worse comes to worse no one ever pisses me off no fans ever

piss me off they very rarely and they're always great and they're always great and i love all my fans I do. We were in Vegas and I was playing blackjack. We were not, it was a, it was like a little area where it was kind of roped off and stuff. And, you know, because this is at the height of our career. People bought it. It was like, okay, I just gamble and play. So I'm gambling. I'm by myself, gambling, playing, playing, playing, playing. And this girl's yelling. And obviously, she's, she might have been like 19 or 20. She wasn't 21, so she couldn't come by the table or be at any table. So she's like, jolly screaming. I'm like, oh, my God. And it's cool, you know, it's a casino, but it's during somewhat of the day. So it's not like crazy.

easy, busy, but people are around and people are standing there, and now she's screaming. I said, yeah, I said, yeah, I said, you know what, hang on one second, I'll be right there with you, and she keeps going. So I finally, I get up and said, hey, do me a favor, sweetheart. I will come back. I said, do me, I will, I honestly, I play this hand, the shoe's going to be shuffled. I have to pee. I will be back right after this. I will come and take the picture with you, okay? And as I'm walking, she's screaming. Well, you know what? You suck. And I came in and see the backstreet boys anyway, and she's cursing and screaming. And I'm like, like this mother I said honestly I went to pee and I'm going to come back she legitimately

literally pissed me off so I stood there for a minute and I pondered I was like God that girl really upset me because she made such a big scene I went to the bathroom scratched my crotch scratched the back of my ass that I was sitting there walked back out didn't wash my hands she comes by and and she was so but she was so mad and then when you come up I said hey I'll take that picture with you, no problem. And I took the back of her neck, and I just kind of rub my hands on the back of her neck. And I say, cool, peace out.

I'm just, I never get mad, and that pissed me off so bad. Yeah. I will never do that ever again. Again, childish. 20, probably 19, 20 years old, I believe, when I did that. You are forgiven. It happens. That's probably, but honestly, that's probably the worst thing I've ever done.

The space is for, it's for us to control. best and we all forgive each other and we drink away our sins and we just say you are forgiven i am blessed time ago and you won't do it again oh no i never did but i took that book out of my brother my brother did that once it was amazing a girl uh that i was working with at a restaurant when i was like 20 she did that um to a woman's salad she yeah we called it the poop swirl she like oh my god The woman actually called her the C word and was like so wasted and so mean and she was a complete...

Deserved it. So, yeah, I just, I gave her the snake neck is what I did. I gave her the snake neck. Phantom swipe. Phantom swipe. That was so horrible, Joey. That was once, man.

Seriously, I was so, and I was really, I was still annoyed by it. I was so mad because she was making a bigger scene than anything. Like, I told you, I promise, I am going to come back here and take the picture with you. And lobehold, I did come back and take the picture. It's just that she got a little doo-doo in the middle. I hope she got pink eye in both eyes. You know what?

That's her, like, the least she could get from that. We'll be back with more Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Hi, everyone. This is Gillian with Court Junkie. Court Junkie is a true crime podcast that covers court cases and criminal trials using audio clips and interviews with people close to the cases. Court Junkie is available on Apple Podcasts and Podcasts and Podcasts.com. Now back to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Tell me you have a confession for me.

Well, I have plenty, but I'll give you two. First off, the first time I saw Hamilton, I didn't get it. Come at me. Come at me, bro. Well, it's hard. They're speaking very quickly. Yeah, but I just say, come on. Yeah. Really? Did we really need a Broadway play about the revolution? Oh, you got it. You just didn't get the hype. Yeah, I didn't get the hype. I got it the second. I watched it last night. I got it.

I was like, okay, I get it. Second off, I have a mad man crush on Maxim Chirokowski from Dancing with the Stars. he does literally yeah i don't know who max he does the cha cha cha better than any he was he was he's not gosh i don't remember how many seasons ago but he was in my season though too uh yeah max m a k s just type up max ma k s dancing stars you'll see it yeah he is yeah yeah oh his brother val too he's not a val fan okay so this guy's not on dancing anymore not anymore no but his brother Val is. Okay, so that's funny because I actually really want Val for for a couple reasons. One, uh, not I don't, I'm not like, oh, he's got the most Instagram followers because of

coolness. I'm like, that means more votes. So that's what my way of thinking with that is. Well, it's become that way now. Now it's more, I think personally, it's more of a popularity thing, even though the people can dance or cannot, it's now the votes. So what you're exactly what you're saying, because when I did the All-Star one, I got kicked off. that confession, I got kicked off way early than I should have. I got kicked at the second round. Really? And a few people came up to me and said,

dude, that shouldn't have been you. And I'm like, yeah, I know, but it is what it is, but who cares? It's that kind of thing sometimes because it's a competition. It's not your life. Is it really, like, they really tally the votes? I have no clue. I'm sure they do. I mean, again, because I was a judge,

so I know that I write down the thing, everything's kind of accounted for. And then, and then obviously back then it was more audience votes throughout that time because now I think it's more judges right now or is it audience still votes right I think I'm so stupid yeah I think by law you have if you have a if it's set up like that I think you have to count the vote yeah my law yeah yeah yeah you can't rig anything like that like legally like they correct okay correct because it is kind of a game per se so yes well but yeah it's it's it's you know what it's it's what you put into it is what you're going to get out of it

the thing I say to you, if any advice, have fun with it. Don't take the shit too serious. There are moments that you will be serious because I never did like the lyrical dancing, which is probably going to be fun for you. I never done a lot of different. It's a few different dances I didn't do that. They throw it in now. But have fun with it.

If you're going to be, if your partner's creative and you're creative with him, do that. Because sometimes that'll be a lot of fun because I don't know how it is nowadays. I love to hear your spin-off when you do do it. Because when we did it, it was very hands-on. Me and Kim were always kind of coming up with different ideas. And I came up with a lot of the ideas for the costumes. And so would she.

So she would come up with the ideas for her costume. I come up in my mind. So like the very first thing that I did, if you ever want to do it, I'll pass it on to you because people do it every once in a while. Just because not everybody may not know who you are. Yeah. Have your freaking name of your last name,

slap somewhere or initial somewhere. I had Fatone on the back of my freaking thing. And then the next time I wore a tuxedo with the lapels, the bottom of lapels at JF real big on the bottom of them. Then I had stuff on collars. I had my initial and my name everywhere. Just so you would know, it's not the, it's exactly, yeah, it's not, it's not, yeah, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, you know, it's not the best, right, it's kick, you know. Yeah, I'm into that little tidbit.

Thank you. Have fun with it. You know, it's crazy. And the quirky of the better. That's another thing. Meaning, no, no, no, I mean music. Don't go for the normal shit. Think about this.

There's been so many, what? I get to pick what music I dance to? There are times that you can, I mean, again, I was season four. So I don't know how it goes down now, but I remember the first time they, when they called me up, they said, see you can give us some songs that you may want to dance to and see if we're going to clear them. Again, I was season four. I gave them. I said, are you sure you really want me to give you some songs?

I said, okay. I gave them over 120 songs. So the great thing about it was is most of the songs were mine that I picked. Yeah. But if you don't pick them, sometimes they pick them. Sometimes they'll suggest because there's been so many now that. They've repeated the songs a few times now. There's a few songs that have been repeated.

But here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the, find renditions that somebody else has done. So if you find a song that you like, find a different rendition or make it the rendition. So for instance, I did erasure. You know, the group erasure? Uh, what's the song, Jason? I thought I tried to discover. with a little bit of this reader ever go on YouTube

type up Joey Tutton Samba Dance with the Stars. We made a Samba to it so all the hips and everything are all these cool things and now they've gotten more advanced with it though I think a lot of people were starting it became I think the other episode started becoming two production-wise where you were losing the actual dance the whole point of it is for you and your partner to dance

not everybody else to dance around you because then it takes focus off of it and you're not watching what's going on. It masks some of the screw-ups. Yeah. I know it does because I've seen it. But when I did it on my season four, I begged to have a chair on the damn stage.

There were no dancers. If you watch it, there are no dancers on anybody that's just me and Kim. That's it. I'm going back to watch your season. I need to watch. Because you came in second, right? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I did. He got robbed. He got robbed. Totally robbed from freaking Apollo Yoko Ono. I like to call him. Apollo Antonono. Is that who won?

Yeah, Speed Skater. And I even said, I said, you know what? I didn't mind him he even went in. It's funny because the minute he could go, like, because he's never danced before. At least I've danced. I never, I never did Latino ballroom. Yeah. But he's never danced.

So for him to do that, I was like, you want, dude, 100% man. Brilliant. And that's when, that's actually the first year Julianne, I believe, came in. So you're telling me I'm going to lose because I'm the one at the end who's a dancer and they're going to pick the one that wasn't. Right. No, no, because now it's all over the place. Again, because now it's more, it's a combination of the dancing and a popularity. Okay, okay, fair.

All right, if you're like me, you've been spending a lot of time at home, as we should be, cleaning out closets, basements, garage, and realizing that you have way too much stuff and stuff that you don't even use anymore, and it's taking up precious space.

What is Halsey's real first name? Who cares? Sasha. Sasha fierce. I like, I don't know. I like, that's a confession. I like Halsey. You don't like.

Something sexy about her. No, I love her. Something sexy about her. Singing, I love it. People like, oh, I hate her. I'm like, no, she's freaking cute and sexy. all at the same time. Wait, why do people hate her? Because she's kind of polarizing. I don't know.

Some people like her music. Like friends of mine, I like the music. She don't, that some people don't like. My nine-year-old hates her because she sings like, she's so breathy. I'm like, dude, you're nine. Relax. Stop hating on Halsey. She's making millions of dollars. They're alone. That's like I used to nanny for a little boy whose dad won like greatest chef of Canada because that's where I'm from. And he was on this TV show and he just makes like, he's, he's incredible. And I was a nanny for him.

And I'm like making him chicken and rice because his dad wanted him to be healthy. And I was like, he was, he was eight. And I said, oh, Aidan, how's, how's dinner? And he goes, chicken's a little dry. You're eight years old. Excuse me, chef. Shit. I'm not chef Canada, but.

Isn't that crazy? Wait, where exactly you from again in Canada? I grew up in Alberta, and then I lived in Vancouver for like 11 years. How funny was that, though? We had an interview today where the girl was from Ottawa and now lives in Nashville. Oh, really? Yeah. A singing artist, Liv is her name.

Liv? Lily's up and coming. Really? Maybe you should have it on my podcast. Can I steal on? Friday, she's dropping her song on Friday. It's crazy, weird. I'm just saying, when you said that, I was like, why is this like parallel?

It's weird. That is weird. Who's your favorite guest you've ever had on? it's a toss up i'm not fishing just no no it's a dog dean was awesome i love d schneider was funny as hell d didn't give a shit i love d he's like i'm in a biza i'm hanging out this covid crap blah blah blah i thought it was funny that's amazing and uh you you you definitely were we're up to the top i wouldn't say i'm gonna be honest it wasn't top top top 10 like top like like like no no top 10 like six or seven you're in there because the thing is is you just you didn't give a shit about stuff that's what

i love about you you don't care and i've never met you or talked to you so knowing d and knowing people it's fun but getting and know somebody is even better because you don't know you don't know where the limit is you know what i mean until you start to figure out lowered expectation no see joey i had see she's in top she's in the top three for me you know you know my three good i love michael rozenbaum michael was dope fantastic i loved i loved my girl uh what's her name uh i get lost no debby gibson debby gifson i love debby gipson and i loved kately well that's so right because she was she was just up yeah thank you see you later joe you're out no i was just yeah because kately just she's i again i'm bachelor nation and i we just i don't know

she was fun she had a good time had a great vibe she's but that's the that's the thing that's I said, as long as you have a great time and a good vibe, that that's what brings us out to say more shit. Do you know what I mean? I just confess three things to you that I've never said before in my life. No, it's not even a BS line. You know what? That's what happens when people come on off the vine.

Usually, that's why I like to have people in person because I feed them my wine. I, you know, I like to call it lubing people up so that they have good confessions. What if you lube them up too much? They get really loose. Yeah. And then it's even better for that. then it just comes out it just vomits out everything. And then they message

to the next day being like, could you edit that out? And I'm like, do I, do it! Okay, before I let you guys go, I'm just going to ask you just a few listener questions. Because I mean, we basically, every question is like, are they going to do? Of course. Yeah.

So I can ex-nail those. But Torre Purnell says what is his favorite and most What is his least favorite and most favorite and sync song to sing? One of my most favorite ones are I thought she knew was an Acapella song.

It's one of the first songs we learned, but I love singing that because it's an Acapella song. It's fun. And the worst one that we did was, there's two of them, Riddle. Is the name of the song? It was on the European album. Yeah, look that one up.

Horrible. Really? That and I need love. Boy, it was like dance tracks. I need love. You need love We all really need love I want to shoot myself

And the other one was Riddle What's the riddle of it Or what's the riddle on my mind It's impossible to find I want to shoot myself like twice Oh I kind of was into that It's a dance track

You might think it's cool but boy I didn't like Okay You know what? That's fair That's your opinion If you could have swapped out any member of n-sink for a member of back street boys who would it be none that's a good question though that was a really good question very good question if i had to had to gun to your head that's tough okay you don't have to get rid of but who would you bring in

i think i would bring in i probably a j maybe a j or nick oh yeah okay good one i take out Chris. I'm kidding. I wouldn't take Chris out. I wouldn't take anybody out. That's why I said you didn't have to because I knew you didn't want to. Okay. And then last question is Danielle Meyer says any regrets on the red hair during the ensing times? No regrets. I loved the red hair. No regrets. Except the only regret was it was just a pain in the ass because I had to keep dying it a lot. And every time I went to a hotel, I destroyed their pillows because it was like fire engine red. That's like me of gray pants. Yeah, it was ridiculous. I even have, it's funny, because I have a hat, a fedore that I wore it on tour, and I still keep it. I still have it. And if you look in the hat, there are actually strands of red hair, bright red hair in the hat still. Was it like a stylist that did it for you, or what did you use to dye your hair red?

Yeah, it was a stylist that did it, but I did a manic panic was the color, was the company. Manic, do you remember manic panic? I think they still have it. It's a hair dye. Manic panic. and it was fire engine red is what it was called i mean you rocked it yeah here's it here's a two confession do you want to know why i dyed my hair red yeah i saw um the the the girl group i'm not girl group aqua number aqua bobby girl yeah lena noistram is her name she dyed her hair

and i was like that's cool red that's what i did seriously i saw her hair i want to color that I want to dye that color. I still want to dye my hair, Fire Truck, red right now. No, I don't know. There's not a lot of hair on the top of it that much right to see right there. I don't know if nobody can see that right now, but it's a little balding. That's why you wear a hat. Me too.

Totally balding. Whatever. I got to get Bosley again. I got to do the plugs. I've done it twice as a confession, but people know I've done it. Wait, does that really work? Well, it worked when the ones that came in, but now the other ones are losing because think about it, when you get a hair restoration, you get the hairs in.

But then what about the older ones? Of course, they're going to fall out. The older ones that have never had fallen out yet. So now you have to kind of go with two or three times to really kind of make it a full head of hair. Like as you watched, like, AJ, AJ was bald from like the middle of his head back for a long time. And out of nowhere, he had hair. And you're like, what just happened? I didn't even pick that up until right now.

I actually was sitting behind him on a plane and had no idea it was him. And was like live tweeting his conversation with another guy thinking it was actually. actually really cute. They're talking about their daughters. And I was like, oh, whoever is married to this man, like, he's just, like, so cute about his daughter. And I sent, I, like, did a picture in the back of his head. I had no idea. And somebody was, like, zoomed in on a tattoo. And they're, is that AJ from the Backstreet Boys? And they were like, it is him. If he didn't have to talk about anything about Backstreet Boys, he would definitely talk about his kids all day long. It was really sweet. It was like a three-hour flight, and he was like, it was really sweet.

That's why I started tweeting it. But hilarious. After he was like, oh, say hi next time. I was like, Blake didn't know it was you. So funny. Oh, my gosh, this has been so fun. This happened when I was on your guys' show. It was like an hour and I was, where did it go?

And that just happened now. It goes. It goes and it's fun. And now you have to cut it up and edit it and figure out how you squeeze it all in an hour, damn it. You know what? I might keep it an hour and six minutes. It was that good. Screw it.

Do it. Why not? I'm a rule breaker. I don't know if you guys know that about it. Yes, I could tell that you're a rule, I can tell you don't give a shit what anybody says. I know from your bachelorette season. I know it all.

You know me from my rebel. What's the one thing you know about her, though, Jason? That's like real deep or real like, ooh, like either one, she's a badass or damn, that was crazy or she's just off. Because, again, I haven't seen it. She is what you see. I mean, it's there. I mean, it's all, I mean, there's no.

What you see is what you get. She didn't sugarcoat anything. Yeah, what you see is what you get. My big question, though, Caitlin, we learned something from you on our show, your boyfriend, fiancé, Jason, correct? Yeah. Has he changed his website at all? Yes. Oh, my gosh.

So funny. So he comes down after and he was like, how was the show? And I'm like, look, we got to talk. And he's like, what? I'm like, well, they're pumping your tires. They're saying, like, you know, you did these big colleges and like right under all your speaking events, you put Ruth's Chris. speaking like like at a steakhouse like it doesn't even make sense and he was like that's that's a that's that's really good feedback thank you so wait jesus you went back you looked and it's off no i didn't
