The two dive into Kat's third pregnancy, unpack the heartbreaking Perez Hilton story, and somehow end up asking the very important question: is it finally time for KB to retire her nipple ring?They also put their friendship to the test with a game of "Who Knows Who Better?" and realize they might actually share the same brain. It's funny, unfiltered, and feels like you're hanging out with two BFF’s for an hour.If you’re LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

You're listening to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Hey, everybody, welcome to Off the Vine. I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow. Coming to you from Nashville.

And I just got off the plane and basically like rolled into, this podcast studio, so deal with it. But I need to own it. Own it. You just told me to own it. Yeah. We both look like poo times two today. Deal with it. But I mean, I guess I am proud of it. Yeah, you should be. You look great. I've got my pregnant bestie with me having Braxton Hicks over here. Hey, how did that go? Just fine. I had to do a non-stress test because I was having a lot of them, but apparently it happens with more pregnancies. Oh, okay. Did you not have those in the last two? No, I did, but they were just like happening a lot. Oh, okay. Are we all good? Um, we, we kind of give you a little taste of the rainbow today.

We go from light to dark to back light again and then we play a game where we realize that we are definitely on the same wavelength. We are one with each other. Yeah. Like, I've already talked for 45 minutes. That's too deep for me. Okay. Here we go. We're in Nashville.

Which honestly, when I landed, I, I didn't realize how much I missed it because I was here in And it's only been a few months. But when I landed, I was like, it feels like home, which is crazy because it didn't feel like home till this house, I would say. And like feeling settled. And I don't know. When I landed, I was just like, uh-oh. I love it here.

I'm loving New York, but I love it here. We were just so excited. Like the buildup to ferry coming was like the most excited. And I was just like thinking about how you kind of will probably be over at our house a lot. I was like, all the things we get to do, the workout. The just swimming, giggling, swimming, the playing with the kids. And then I'm just like, that's what I want to do. Oh, I've been thinking a lot about this because being, please, kick my feet up.

Kick my feet up. Cool. Get comfortable. The thing I've been thinking about in New York, and you said it when we were here, like it's probably so different trying to just lay on the couch and relax in New York. And I don't know what it is about just the energy of that city, but I can't relax there. And I'm a relaxed to the max kind of gal. Like, I love a relax.

and I can't relax there. It's got to be because like you're in your kitchen and you're on your couch and you look around and it's just like such a serene environment. Yeah. And you hear nothing. Yeah. Maybe a bird. Maybe.

And like in New York, it's like, huh, ah, it's like, sirens every two seconds. There's drilling. Everything. And they're doing construction in my building right now on top of that. And it's just like, and I'm a highly sensitive person with sounds and noises. And so sometimes I can deal with it. but when I'm on like the PMS journey and like all of that happening. Like you always can't say.

Yeah. I will say I'm adjusting to New York a lot better than I thought I would. But I think also I'm really treating it as like, I'm here for a good time, not a long time. Let's do as much as we can. But it's interesting to me because you're not a long time is a really long time. Yeah. Like the other day. Like I feel like you made a reference to like five years.

And I was like, I'm literally not well. I will, I will be over. 40 in five years. Welcome to the club, sister. I'll be 42. And Chandler will be nine. Yeah. You got to.

Oh, I can't handle that. No. Okay. Five years, I know it is a long time, but it really goes by so fast. But picturing Chandler is a nine-year-old boy. Georgia will be eight. He will be 10. Nope.

I can't handle that. I really can't. Wait, it was so cute. You guys, Kat and the kids in Worth showed up and they had party hats on and like, party like blowers and a balloon that said welcome home welcome home and then there was a welcome home and then there was a welcome back and I said no no we need you home this is home it was so precious I was like I just my cheeks are still hurting because I was just smiling so much but I'm only here for till Monday it's the weekend and I am making you work well I'm home for just a few days because

I was like you got to get your butt in that chair because we got to catch up we got to even though we catch up all the time. But for the people. For the people. Everyone's dying to hear a catch up from us, okay? Oh, God. I'm sure it's going to be riveting. You're the number one requested guest.

You know, before we started, I was like, oh, I'm going to save it. I don't even remember what I was going to tell you. Couldn't have been good. I don't think it was. Oh, I know. TikTok shop. I am such a consumer on TikTok shop. So I don't understand how TikTok shop works, but I like half TikTok.

I open it one, like, you send me a video. Yeah. There was a girl the other day at church. And Steph and I were looking at her. those are the cutest pants ever. And so I was like, somebody's got to ask her. And I can't, it can't be me because I know that she's going to be like, bitch, you are not fitting in those.

But she went up and she said TikTok shop. They were these like high wasted like paper bag, but cargoish. No, they are the cutest stuff. How? TikTok shop is not hard. You literally just open the app and every scroll somebody's selling something. It's actually turned into like one big infomercials. It's not like a place that you go like Amazon.

No. It's just you can just scroll. I mean, you can't. You could go to TikTok and just hit the button at the top that says shop. But you'll get, you'll go broke. Like you're a consumer. Oh, I am the ultimate. You really are.

Yeah. Did you tell people on the podcast yet that you bought makeup brushes off of me one time and you didn't even use makeup? Back in, oh gosh, I was living in Atlanta. We didn't know each other. Didn't know each other. But like I watched her seasons. Like I always, I always knew you.

And she was selling Vanity Planet. It was like a 50 piece brush set. I don't know. There's people here that. remember, but they were like big round. There would be like tiny ones, big, big. And they were just like, you'd like rub and makeup at the time. They were great.

I didn't even wear a foundation on my wedding day. Like I didn't own foundation. So anyways, I bought 50 foundation brushes and I have never. That's so funny. Like for years, I was like, what? But those were great brushes. I actually did use them. They were nice and soft.

And I just, I used them once for that ad and it took. It worked. No. I actually kept one. I remember keeping one. It was the tiny little one. and I used it for my concealer all the time. I really loved it.

But also spray tans. I haven't found a good spray tan spot in Nashville yet. I did sugared and bronzed ones, which... In New York. Do we have that in... No. I did? Yeah, in New York.

Where am I? In New York, do we have a sugared and bronzed in Nashville? Oh, it's good, but it's like very thick. But guess what this... What's this? Juergens. Stop. Yes, I did it last night.

And then this morning, I was like, I think I want one more layer, and I still haven't rinsed it. Foam or... Foam. Jurgens. It's so good. Not sponsored. Not sp-

Please sponsor me. Jurgens. It really is like an... But the problem is when you put it on, you can't see. It takes, yeah. But I don't see any streaks. I don't either. Which is crazy.

I haven't put on self-tanner in two weeks because we go to Colorado. So I'm just trying to save that. I... Fresh tan for beginning of the week. This just came to my brain now. I wanted to ask you and I want to ask everybody, but more importantly, you because some people will just say things to, well, not here. I feel like people who listen to the podcast aren't trying to doosh me.

But should I retire my nipple ring? I've thought that since I met you, but I don't know. Why? We still have that thing. Well, because maybe somebody likes it. Not me. Or me. I'm ready to retire it.

Did we share with the class that there was a time that you took it out at a dinner table? A very nice. dinner table and set it on the table. Well, it was, I like a good shock value moment. This was in London. We were in London. I was like, good God, Caitlin. Well, because Worth, like, couldn't grasp the concept that I just had a nipple ring. To be clear, she didn't whip the nip out. She did it like undercover, but then, like, pulled it out and he was like, it's not a small thing. So I can't, you can't defer my, I do not have those. Yeah, it's, it, oh, I still think about, I can't believe I've had it since I was 16 years old. That's,

but you remember Dr. Civa King said he can like fix it. Yeah. Well, if I ever want, if I ever want. I do want to have babies, but I have to wait until I'm done breastfeeding to then fix the nipple or, but then I'm like thinking about imagine I have a baby and I'm come out of all places. Yeah. I'm going to choke that baby because there's so many days. It's like a big hole. Yeah. This is kind of gross. Sorry, I need to remember that I'm also podcasting, but like I can no. No. Open it and see the bar through the nipple hole. No, no, no. No, no. No, no. No. Okay. Okay. I'm going to. Okay. Okay. I'm going to. retire, but I just feel like it looks so funky. I did the Janet Jackson moment once, too,

like years ago. I want to say this was like 10 years ago. I had like a son around it. Stop. But I'm just like, I saw on TikTok the other day, girls are putting nipple barbells through the cakes, like the nipple covers so that it looks like through a t-shirt they have their nipples pierced. And all the skims ones. They have the. Yeah. But I'm like, is that for the young girls, because I'm 41 and is that still cool or is that, oh, no. You can tell me. I kind of think it's like a fetish. Like, I think it's like, not for me.

Me neither. But like, I think it's like, I don't know. I don't think that's for yourself. Yeah, it's not. When are you going to come to New York and visit? I have a baby in my belly. Yeah. So hurry up.

Okay. So it's probably going to be, oh, God, like, it's going to be next year. Okay. That's fine. I'm kind of, I'm like knocking on the door of third trimester in like a week. That is crazy. I do forget that you learn. You are very chill with pregnancy though.

Soloft. Oh, right. Zoloft is pregnancy safe. So is the one that I'm on that doctor, who is that samples told me. Oh yeah. When I was talking to her, uh, that it's safe. Yeah. Because that scared me.

Because I was like if I have to be, I just keep, I really feel like I'm close to having a baby. I just feel like I am ready, honey. I just feel like. Like, okay, when is my period supposed to come? I think in like one week. That'll be crazy if that happens. But I just, you know when you feel something? Like, I feel like it's going to happen soon.

Oh, God, I love that. Like, I just got, like, a, whew, a feeling. I know. I just truly feel like the day that you say that that's happening, I will, like, I just think I will faint. Same. And then, like, if I envision the day that, like, I'm in the hospital, like, you were for me, I will friggin' throw.

up. Yeah, I want you holding one leg. I would love that. If that's how it goes. Yeah. Wow. Wait, how did we get there? What I was really thinking about was I went to a spa the other day. Where was I?

Where was I? Laguna Beach, San Diego. Hamptons. Yes, Hamptons. I was like, you went there and then you went there. Okay, so I was in the Hamptons. After my whirlwind landed, got to the Hamptons for the 5K. And after the 5K, I was like, I need a massage.

So I went to the spa and guess who I ran into? And I was like, we're friends. Leah Michelle from Glee. What? So I went there for the same thing. No. She was in the Hamptons. And I had seen her on Broadway with Ashley I.

We went, she's in the Broadway musical chess. Our voice is so stupid. Anyways, after we went to like meet people backstage and Leo and Michelle was like, Caitlin Ova. I was like, oh, because I love her. And then we ran into each other at the spa. And she was like, let me show you around New York and bubble. And she was so sweet.

What? Yeah. That's crazy. It was really, it's so funny when you think about how many people have watched like the Bachelor franchise where like you wouldn't know. Right. So you're like, because isn't it like Jessica Alba or something like watches. Jennifer Aniston.

Jennifer Innocon. So you're like, you don't even know. It's so crazy. And I'm like, and it was so long ago that you think, this is what's funny. somebody I worked with from Cactus Club was like, do you remember me? And I'm like, what? I didn't get a little bottomy after my season. I'm like, you should have me.

Wait, just because I went on TV doesn't mean I don't remember you. But then I think that way about like Jennifer Aniston. I'm like, she probably doesn't remember. But she watched my season. Yeah. That's cool. I don't know if you can hear Pino and Ramen behind me. They're literally play fighting.

They have completely different personalities. And they somehow managed to make me giggle every single day while also keeping me on my toes, I swear. If you're a pet owner, you know exactly what I'm talking about. They can go from sleeping peacefully on the couch to doing something completely ridiculous that has your heart racing for a few seconds. So today's episode is sponsored by the ASPCA pet health insurance program. Now, if you've ever found yourself awake at 2 a.m. Googling, wait, is this normal?

I really can, but being hot when I'm trying to sleep is not one of them. I get so grumpy. But once I'm uncomfortable, it's just game over. I'm throwing one leg out of the covers, flipping my pillow over every five seconds, debating whether I need to turn the AC down another two degrees. It's just a whole production, you know?

And for the longest time, I just assumed that that was part of summer, but it turns out, nope. A lot of it comes down to your bedding. Sleeping hot, I don't know about you, but I think it's miserable. You blame the thermostat, the mattress, even the person you're sleeping next to, but it's none of that. It's your betting.

I was thinking because the early 2000s, that's like the millennial like prime time. And you went to Hillary Duff. I was just about to say. I went to Back to your Boys. You went to Hillary Duff and I feel like it did something to us. It really was the craziest thing because did you go to Hillary Duff? It was like, and I wasn't Steph and Julia were the ones that were like dying to go. but we just decided all to go together.

And I was like, I just don't have that nostalgic. I feel like I just missed her. Yeah. Like that. I didn't really watch this in the choir. I kind of did. Like I did a little, but I wasn't like die hard. Like Steph remembers words, like lines from it.

Yeah. And I do remember her music. And of course I know, feel the rain on your skin. That's not Hillary Duff. Not that one. Let the rain fall down and wake up. That one is. And then, nah, I've heard God that.

And one is the hills, right? I don't know. I didn't watch those either. Okay, well, so that classic mix up, it's what I check me, please. Okay. But everybody was like, so I'm 36. Everybody was like 34 to 32 to 52 to 52. Yeah.

And so it was like, you were just looking around. You weren't like, okay, I feel, I mean, I was pregnant. I was with two just hotties. Yeah. And everyone was like, y'all skirts are amazing. And I was like, I'm you. Like, I just was so... Yeah, but you...

You were wearing the dress that I wear, the aloe dress. I know, but things just... If people haven't noticed or heard you earlier, you pregnant. I am pregnant. Almost in your third trimester. So wait, the baby... I always used to make all my friends tell me when they were pregnant, like, what size is the baby?

When you get to that point, is it just like, it's the size of a baby? It's the size of like a butternut squash. I'm like, that's big. So you're doing... November 11th. Do you November 11th have C-section? So I'll deliver in like the week of the third. Is that fun to be able to plan? Like, I like it. Yeah. Now, I also didn't ever get because of my first birth, the experience of like pushing and. Right. So all I know is a C-section. Right. And but I still find it to be like, I mean, literally the second they hand you that baby and you just

kiss their warm cheek and you knew you grew them and then you're meeting them for the first time. Even if you know what gender it is, I literally say, I have, I have, I have, I. I mean, have kids because I have to relive that moment. Oh. And then everything else gets better and better and better, better. I can't even, I can't. Like last night, I looked at Worth and I said, there is nothing else I want to be doing. I was like, I'm just obsessed with life with these little, you've got such a perfect little

life. I love it. It's so do you. It's just so different. I mean, we just have different vibes. It's true. But like you're, you've got the chicken coop, but the chickens, you've got a. garden. You've got land and you just have like a hot husband who is so loving to you and two

sweet angel pies and one on the way. I cannot wait to see your new baby. What is it going to look like? That is where I'm like what the. It's crazy. Like is it going to look like Chandler? Will it look like Georgia? What's this pregnancy specifically has been different from your other two? It really does remind me of Chandler's. It does. Yeah. Like I just know you're having a boy. I know I'm having a boy. but I was a little more sick this time. I feel like until about 19 weeks, which was miserable, but then looking back in like that flu,

but in terms of it's about the same, the back pain is bad. Back pain? You remember when I already have that? I used to have to always like massage my back. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We'll have to like push on it

and now Chandler helps. Oh, sweetie. I mean, it's just, and I think just like the weight in your pelvis for the third time. You would think things would just like go like, we've done this before and then feel fine. It's like we've done this before and we're getting a little tired.

Like my hurts. Yeah, what's that about your peeper bone? Is that what you call it? Yeah, I'll be like, my peep hurts. So your pelvis comes together and meets at the bottom. Yeah. Pelfic girdle. Okay.

Girdle. And if you think about it, those bones meet in the middle in like a seam. And I think the pressure just on that spot constantly just feels. I mean, like I literally was like worth it. It feels like somebody's like, right? down the middle. At all times? Not right now. Like I'll just do something and I'll be like, ow, it's just crazy. And I don't think it's like lightning crotch because that's what people talk about. I don't, this is not that. This is like my bone hurts. Isn't lightning crotch for redheads?

That's fire crotch. But you're actually the second person to really take that within the last couple weeks. Somebody was like, oh, do you have fire crotch? And I was like, no, I don't. And I think you mean lightning crotch. I don't have either. So funny. Do you know I used to have a thing for redheads? Like I dated two. Love that. Yeah. I like think they're hot. It's so I have, I think the crazy in them sees the crazy in me because they've got like a little like fire in them.

Yeah. Crotch in them. Probably. But they do. Like they really do have a little like edge or something. Yeah. And I always found myself attracted to redhead. I love that. Interesting. Yeah, that is interesting.

I don't know. I like sharing that. Yeah. It's a real thing. Hot. Cool. Cool. I like it.

I was thinking about other concerts. Like, who would break the internet if they made a comeback? And then I was just laughing to myself on the plane thinking about how you know everywhere to Jeffrey Starr songs. If that, I have been just like dying for him to go on the house. So wait, Jeffrey Starr started as a singer. Okay. Does anybody remember this? Is this lore or is this known?

I don't know. But I think it was in the days of LinkedIn. Wait, not LinkedIn. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I was like, wait, aren't we still in the day? No, we're still in that day. I just don't utilize it. You think of MySpace?

My space. Yeah. And it was like at the time when like expressing yourself in that way wasn't like as welcomed as it is now. Expressing yourself in what way like wearing makeup and pink hair. And so I was just like, whoa, I've never seen anything like this. He was just like fully embracing it. Well, you only grew up in the South. Yeah, I know.

But like it was just like shocking. And it wasn't in a, I was obviously watching it. So I was like intrigued. But he had like pink hair. But then he was dressing not. He wasn't like looking as much like a woman as he does now. Yeah. Yeah.

And he would sing. It was called Hollywood Undead, I think. You know. I know. You don't think. It was kind of dark and twisty and the lyrics were weird. And I'm like, it was just one song? No, there were like multiple.

Oh, because I feel like you'll like sing it and know every word. Yeah. Like I think I just drop a bar. Girl, your boobies look real nice to me tonight. Let's have a pillow. I'm done. That's when we turn off the lights. Girl, if you're from Orange County,

you're right. Oh. But he was singing to a girl. Hmm. It's so funny. What would you do? You'd go to see him if he was singing live. Yes. I'm trying to get him on my podcast. Jeffrey. Come on the pod and we're going to have Cat, your number one fan. Oh, I buy your cosmetics. I love your music.

That's so many. We'll ask everybody at home. Who would you freak out to see if they came to me to come back? Because I feel like Backstreet Boys never really, well, it kind of went away. But like the fact that Ensign could never. Wait, why? Because they don't. There's like three of them that maybe still do something.

I still have to think about the answer to that. Because like obviously Jeffrey Starr, but like it wasn't as like I, that was more like a a LinkedIn thing. Just kidding my. Oh, my gosh. But I don't know. I got to think I'll circle. I don't know why I've brought up TikTok like 10 times already on this podcast,

but I'm going to do it again. Go for it. Because I do think, like, It is so disturbing. We talked about this. The Perez Hilton thing. It's, did you see this, Kelly?

Oh, my gosh. Oh, Kelly, it's so sad and scary. And I can't believe TikTok let this happen. I don't know what is going on there. Perez Hilton, do you know who that is? Peres Hilton's like a celebrity blogger. He used to have like, used to go to Perezhilton.com to read like instead of like Instagram.

Yeah. You went to Perez Hilton's blog. He talked, he would talk shit about, he was vicious to celebrities. And he was really nasty to them. And then he's still like a celebrity blogger influencer to this day. But he's been around since as long as I can remember. But he really tortured like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and like a bunch of people in that era.

Lindsay Lohen so bad. And they've come out and admitted that he really like took a toll on their mental health. Well, he went on TikTok live. I don't know if I can say that, cutting himself. Like he was covered in blood. Covered in blood. And it was like he was actively doing it. And it was so horrifying.

And he was clearly in some sort of psychosis, like either on drugs or having like a psychotic break, something. But somebody like the police, I mean like paramedic showed up. And he was like, and here's my phone number. And it was like saying his phone number. I didn't watch it. But like I've picked up these little tidbits from. I think God did not see it. But of course it's like all over TikTok.

And what's crazy is, you know, how the internet gets. Now there's conspiracy theories that it wasn't real. Who knows. But at the end of the day, I saw a screenshot of one part and I lose sleep over it now. Like it looked like the movie Carrie, where she has like blood like dropped on her head. And he was screaming things like, this is for my children. His three kids were home, by the way. They got them out of the house, his niece or something.

The Perez Hilton's family made a statement. I don't know how they're like five, seven and nine, like a, that was just a guess, but that's what I think. I'm just like, I hope he, he's in the hospital. Who knows what's going on. But I just can't believe that that's in the era that we're in that we can just watch someone do that live. And TikTok is not in there in two seconds.

Well, it's like just in general, when we talk about mental health and how much more prevalent it is these days, I'm like, you have at your fingertips or at any instant on the internet seeing something that like our brains are not. chemically like no wired to handle so like you see that and you're like okay so actually if that had happened 15 years ago when I didn't have Instagram yet maybe just I don't know you'd be like what yeah you know I'm like so I'm I see the craziest things and I'm like bothered by it but I'm like but you move on and so like are we moving on like no this is why I remember and I've said this a million times where on my um podcast I had a trauma media counselor on because

she was saying like we are not, like you just said, we're not meant to handle that kind of, like we're not meant to see that. We're not meant to take in all of this trauma that we're already trying to deal with our own shit and now we're seeing everybody else's to get away from our own. So we're consuming just like really traumatic things that we don't even realize what it's doing to our body. My question for you now is how or do you even think about this yet? Because you don't have to with like protecting your kids from social media.

You do? So I think about it and I'm like, I told Worth, somebody the other day who has kids a little bit older than mine was like, if you can avoid giving them an iPad, it was Amber Pilates. She was like, do avoid it because the second that you give them that, toys are no longer exciting. So like if anyone's seen Toy Story 5, it was about that. It's about how like the iPad or like the leapfrog or whatever like new thing is like as soon as you do that, that is the coolest thing. they have the world at their fingertips in terms of games and things they want to see. And so, I mean, I just feel like as long as I can avoid, I mean, the kids don't have an iPad. I have one and I've put a show on before on a road trip, but like they don't know that they can use it.

But they aren't interested in the phone. Of course. Like, Mommy, use your phone. And I'm like, honey, I don't need it. Yeah. It just, that's, that's an, I'm so scared because I do need my phone. I know. But hopefully I'm at that place where I'm like, I actually don't need it anymore.

I mean, I say I don't need it. but like we're all addicted. It's horrific. But anyways, I'm going to go as long as I can, but then, like, there's going to come a time that, like, you just can only do so much. I would like to think that your kid's generation is here to change the world.

And they're going to go back to being like, they're going to, because you know how everything changes and things aren't going to be like, I don't need a phone. And it's like living trad wife life, like I'm not that. What's trad wife? It's like traditional wife role in like people that, You know, the mom stays home. She cooks. She cleans. She's got a garden. She's doing all that.

Yeah. That's just like the trend. Like you see it on Instagram stuff. But I'm like, but like having gardens and stuff is coming back. So I'm like, maybe that means we're going to be more unplugged. Yeah. And the next generation. And like, I'm here for it. I'm so here for that. I think that would be really nice. And it's, it's, I mean, we're the problem. Totally. Our generation, we're like, I'm glued to my phone. I hate it. But what sucks is when I was in college, I had one of those phones. I don't even remember what brand, like Samsung, where it went like this and like this. Yeah, it was like a keyboard and a whatever. And so I didn't have like we had camera like photos. Uh-huh.

Camera. Yeah. Camera phone. But we like still took our cameras out when we went to the bar. So like we would upload on Snapfish or some website. Snapfish. A hundred photos from one weekend. You know, whereas now it's like you try to get your best angle your best shot.

And I'm like, you're not going to get one of those today. Yeah. Best angle. It's really tough out there. It's tough. It's really tough out there. Anyways. I also think like, I don't want to go back to Perez helping because then the image just

keeps going. But people are also saying things like, oh, karma. And I'm like, that's where also mental health really is the comments. Sometimes in like funny videos, I can't wait to read the comments because I go, people are hilarious out there. Yeah. But when it's sad, the comments of saying like karma, nobody deserves. I don't care what they've gone through in life or what they've done.

I'm sorry, but nobody deserves to get to that level to then traumatize other people while traumatizing themselves and children. Like, nobody deserves that. So messed up. I'm just so curious what, because he's, Perez Hilton is the kind of guy who's going to come back from this and talk about it online. He's not going to go away. So I'm like so curious what he's going to say.

Here they are. Coming up again in conversation, I swear Pinot and Ramen somehow always know when a chewy box shows up. I really do.

Okay, I want to play a game.

Okay. Go from dark to light real quick. Let's just flip it around. Turn the beat around real quick here. Okay. Do you want to do who knows who better or do you want to do fill in the blank? That doesn't sound as fun, but it's fun. We can do both.

We'll see what we'll go. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, we'll do both. Okay. This is going to be an easy one. Okay. Actually, maybe not for me. Starbucks order.

What's my Starbucks order? Americana hot, like grande or tall, usually tall. Yeah. And what do I put in it? Nothing. Yeah. You right. What about me?

Yeah, that's where, well, you switch it up. Like, what the hell's that? Because you like an almond milk. Almond. But, okay, go with like coffee. Okay. An almond milk latte. Yeah, I would do that.

I'd probably get a black iced coffee and put half of a stevia in it. Oh, I forgot the stevia. I didn't know that. You know me. Cold coffee year round, baby. Yes. and I'm, it's 95 degrees outside today and I was like hot black coffee. Weird.

I love it. I just love it. Who's my celebrity crush? I know who yours is. I know you know who mine is. Who is yours? I met him. Oh, it's, um, he's funny.

Does he have a podcast? Mm-mm. Mm-mm. I forget. Paul Rudd. Okay, yes. You're Jacob Allardy. Oh, yeah.

What was that, what was the one you're thinking? The Rock. Oh, yeah, no. But Jacob Allorty, yeah. Wait, Kat is obsessed with The Rock like thinks he's the hottest man on planet Earth. I love The Rock, but not sexually attracted to him whatsoever. Like, you would climb that tree. I just love him.

I've loved him for a really long time, but what's funny is more than I met, we realized. We both have the same hall pass. It's the Rock. Wayne. Wayne. The Rock. I've met him, too. Oh, wow.

What is my comfort TV show? Friends. Oh, wait. Simpsons? No, friends I would say over Simpsons. Family guys up there. Family guy. But I thought you were going to say, I don't know, something criminal, dark and twisty

because I do somehow find that. Yeah. She'll still like, come. What's the word? When you quote, you'll quote from like family guy. Do you remember that? I'm like, I don't remember that. Like, yes I watched.

Family Guy, there's thousands of episodes and it's hit every topic. I know, but like I haven't seen thousands. I've seen plenty, but not thousands. What's mine? Right now, the summer I turn pretty. Yeah, I'm late to the game. Yeah. What's my biggest pet peeve?

Chewing. Yeah. But not with you. That's so nice. There are certain people in my life that don't bother me when they chew and you're one of them that doesn't bother me. I love that. I've never heard you really chew, so I can't say if that has bothered me, but I'd remember if it did bother me. She just knows better than to eat in this house.

Yeah. She's like shaking. She's like, she's like, I don't eat. What's mine? Your biggest pet peeve is. Oh, lazy people? Yeah. Yeah.

People are just get up and go. Get up and go. Like, I want you to walk. I'm here to do that. I'm doing this. I love that like, yeah, like when people are just like late all the time. I'm just like. Yeah.

Oh, no, it's me. I am the problem. It's me. But worth was that way. And I was like, honey, if you want this to work. And not, not calling y'all lazy. I think it's just like. No, but you like punctual.

disrespect for time management. I'm like Uber time managed. Yeah. You are, I saw something on Instagram the other day where it was like, We need to have a conversation. If you are late, you are disrespecting my time. And I was like, but I don't see it that way. I know.

I just can't pull my shit together. It's so funny because before we picked you up from the airport, we had like four things to do. I wanted my drink. We needed to run to Shendig's the store to get the balloon in the party. That's, you know, it's a necessity. Then we need to do the pharmacy, Jersey mics. And then coffee was in the plan. Didn't happen.

You had ordered it. But I was like, okay, if we leave now, by the time we go here, here, here, here, we've literally pulled out and we were two minutes early to Caitlin walking out of her the exit of the airport and I'm like I'm sorry but like I'm really good at this and I just like you are good at it I don't know why like I can just backer it was more like that I don't like that quality about me I just I can't unless it's something like a job interview what is one thing I would spend a thousand dollars on without thinking about it something for your dogs like Acupuncture. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Acupuncture. I literally just spent $1,000 on their acupuncture the other day. That is so true. Literally anything. What about mine? Okay. Yours would be like a nice pair of shoes or clothes. Just like, yeah. I would, I would just be like, oh, I've got to have that.

Yeah. You have, um, nice expensive taste, but like you don't, you're not like a snood about it. I don't overdo it. I just like, I like, I like nice clothes. I like, you know, yeah. What's my toxic trait? Being late. Is this like a no offense? Yeah, I won't be offended. Like, I don't know if I want to say that.

You can. Okay. Like carrying what people from the pastor. Like, yeah, that like, ugh. Yeah, I hold on to things. Yeah, and I'm like, who cares? Yeah. So that's a really good one, actually.

What's mine? Um, like leaving a party to go to bed. Yeah. Yeah. When you are done, you are done. Yes. And you can't rally. No.

Yeah, you don't rally. Which I also respect. But I'll happily remove myself and say, let the party go on. I will be in my bed. Yeah, but I want you in the party. I can't. That's your dogs who trains. Yeah.

You cannot rally. When my mind's made up, honey, I'm this. It's up. Okay. Now we'll move it to fill in the blank. Okay. Why do I talk like that sometimes? Mill in a blank.

Do that. Okay. A beauty. Treatment I need to retire. Who is this for you or for me? And then I do you, you do me. What's a beauty treatment I need to retire? You need to retire.

Yeah. What? I don't know. Oh, I can't think of one for you either though. Okay. The nipple ring. Oh, that's more of like a... Okay, fair.

I'll take that. Okay, you need to retire. Not whitening my teeth. I need to widen them. Oh, my God, my teeth are terrible. No, I was just looking at how white there and I'm like, what is happening here? Oh, really?

Yeah, on mine. I just be like... This is how I know I need to start therapy again because I'm starting to be like, I think I need a nose job in veneers. Get out of here. No, I know that. But I see your face. I know.

I'm saying that's crazy. I'm not going to do that. Good. Why am I focusing? When it's, when I do maintenance therapy, I'm so good. And when I don't, I realize, why am I picking myself apart? I mean, I was looking at the camera like this and my neck skin was just looking like, I was like, okay, we're going to be needing to do.

this in the next 10 years. Well, also may I, it's, and this is, this is also why I need to stop because, hold on, let me see. Oh, I just pulled up a picture of a tick. Ticks in New York. I've had, I'm freaked out by that. Romans had two ticks. Chandler had a fire ant in his undies today. And he started saying like something hurts, something as itches. And I said, this is something you should talk to him about because like, oh, honey, a fire ant. And then he like, ripped his pants off and I was like, is that a tick? And it was an aunt. And it was like, lighting on his little leg. Oh, honey.

I know. It was like he had ants in his pants. Oh, he had ants in his pants. Fire ants in his pants. That's so sad. It was really sad. Aw, the innocence. Okay, I wonder if it, I think I filmed it after. What are we talking about?

You know what? It doesn't matter because I did a whole hilarious video about it because I actually was laughing out loud. A man was telling me that I have an upside down toadstool nose. What in the... mushroom bulb down here. Who is telling you this? It is, though.

And it was, it's been since, like, exposed him. It's been since like 2021 of him being like, maybe he's a woman actually. But you know what? Someone in your comments? Yeah. Oh, okay.

I was like, I thought in conversation. Oh, no, no, no. I have been told I have a pug nose like multiple times. And I don't like that. Oh. Nothing against pugs. I just want no. Against pugs.

Yeah, like, or an upside-out. Toadstool. Okay, whoever this says, H underscore Parker 27. Girl, you're giving some serious Amanda Vibbinds vibes here. Look at your upside down

toadstool nose. Girl, your nose is legit an upside down toes stool. Wait, from another person or the same person? Same person. Then she's saying, I look like Lord Fard quote, which is fair.

Girl, when you let, why do you let your sunglasses hang down on your toes stool nose? Does no favor. Same person? Yeah. your nose is an outside down toadstool for real your nose it's legit an upside down toes stool don't even try and deny it either go ahead and block me was this in one setting or did he like come no this is over the years who look at your upside down toe stool nose and then it's all the emojis of a nose and a mushroom honestly good for him his persistence is admirable ooh the nose which looks like an upside down toadstool often shot is

isn't the move. The texture of your lips also look like an earthworm. Oh my God, your upside your nose emoji is it upside down toe stool. Woof, upside down toe stool big time. You need to go back and your mouth, watch it back and then look at your upside down toe stool nose. There's more upside down toe stool. I put an outfit. He said swing in a large miss. Also woof. Next one, upside down toes stool. Whoa. Oh my God. Oh my gosh. And then look, pointing down, down mushroom nose. And I said, I can't crack your little code right now.

I could possibly imagine what you're mean by that. Clearly an upside out toes. And then I'm like, oh, freak, an absolute freak. Some people, you do see the negative so much because I like go through my DMs to read nice ones. But I always expose the negative ones. but people don't see. I actually connect with a lot of people in my DMs who are so kind. And there's some really lovely people out there on the internet.

There really is. That's what I got to do when I, well, first of all, I've said it for years and years and years, we don't shop for pain. And when I realize I'm doing that, even if I find it funny, I'm like,

this is still not good for you. So after I see some negative, I go look for the positive and then I say that or just go look for grass and touch it. Yeah. Yes. I said this a lot and I do think this is. true for me the hardest part of working out isn't actually the workout I personally love the

I'm not getting political, but Megan Kelly came up on my For You page on TikTok because she was talking about the Prez Hillton stuff.

And she said something like, it is so bad for your mental health to constantly consume celebrity gossip, what people look like, what people are doing, to be filling in the gaps of how you think somebody's life looks like or what they do wrong. You get like a one angle. And she was literally like, go outside and go for a walk and freaking touch grass because we are not meant to do this, which we've kind of talked about. but we're not meant to consume so much shit of other people's lives at all times. And it's getting out of hand.

I just like the recipes. You are a big recipe. My, my for you page has turned to, it is a lot of recipes. I feel like it's a lot of women's body stuff. And your algorithm. I don't even want to know anymore. I had to go through and delete clear the cache or whatever. I want to actually, I'm going to put up a little screenshot.

right here of what your for you page look like at what at one point in time. Do you have a screenshot of it? Yes. The wildest shit you've ever seen. Anyways. Back to our game. Okay. Such a fun game.

We're done with the toadstool, okay? See, look at me. I'm pointing me off. Let me guess you said it again. Let me guess you said it again. I don't know. It makes sense. I'm postered.

Okay, okay. Moving on. I already know the answer to that one. Okay. The era of mine that you liked the least was. Hmm. this one when you're in New York. Oh, okay.

That's fair. The era I disliked of you, the least, none. This one, because you're in Nashville and I'm in New York. Okay. Okay. Okay, we're done here. Well, because I realized all the fill in the blanks were things we already kind of talked about in the last game.

Can we play the game really quickly? Oh, yes, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Not the one that we saw, but just like the one, two, three, try to say the same work. Oh, okay, okay. Okay.

One. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. Actually, I'll go backwards. Three, two, one podcast. Upside down, Toadstool. Okay. Three, two, one.

Nushroom. Oh. Okay. Wait, hold on. Three, two, one button. Stool. You can't repeat. Toadstool button.

Three, two, one. Nose? I was going to say noes, but you already, okay, that's fine. We don't have to keep that in, but that was interesting. Okay, now let's do the one where, wait, how is it go? You don't want to say the same thing. So we're going to have a category. So let's say it's color.

And then we're going to go three, two, one. And we're going to have to say a color and we just don't want to say the same one. Okay. Kelly, you say the thing, the category and we'll try and not say the same thing. So our goal here is to not say the same thing. Yeah. But there's a good chance that we do. So we'll just see.

Okay. So first category is season. Season. Okay. Three, two, one. Fall. Shit. I should have said, I knew you were going to say fall.

Why are I trying to say that? I knew I was going to say fall. And I was like, she's going to say summer because she knows I'm hot. Okay, moving on. What's the next one? Day of the week. Oh, God. This is gay.

Three, two, one. Wednesday. What? What? Okay. Okay. So maybe the rule should be trying to say the same thing. I was like, there's seven days a week and surely she's not going to pick a Wednesday.

Okay. What's the next one? Wow. Color. Oh, God. Don't, you just looked. You're going to say blue. I'm not looking at you.

Okay. Um, three, two, one. Yellow. What? What? Oh, God. Just, what the fuck? Okay.

Okay. I have like three and I really don't know what I'm going to say. Okay. Okay. Ready? Three, two, one. Blueberry. Oh, I was, I was this close.

Even the fact that it was a berry. I was going to go. I was either going blueberry, raspberry or strawberry. I was definitely going to go strawberry. Like we could have said cantalope, but could have been. Alicado. So it was technically a fruit. Banana.

That was crazy. So four out of five or three out of four, spot on. Oh, oh, oh, okay. Car. Car. Okay. Okay.

Three, two, one. Broccoli. I was going to say, jeepet. Oh, jape. I miss my Jeep. Do you? Simple times. Yeah, back to the simple times.

No, I don't miss my Jeep. Excuse me. Without travel. Oh, travel, like a tropical destination. Oh, any destination. Okay. Three, two, one. Positano.

I'd like to go to either of those places right now. Me too. Well, that was fun. It's really fun. I like games. Yeah. That was insane. That was really crazy.

We should have said, try to say the same thing because that would have been like, oh, yeah. No, if we tried to, we wouldn't have. I know, you're right. I can't believe I just podcast the whole time without an ounce of makeup on. I put lip gloss on. Honestly, this is the worst I've ever looked. So truly.

You're welcome. Look at me. Do you all have like a filter that can like be like a mask or something? No, we don't need it. Yeah. Just rock the arm of it. Rock the toadstool nose. Rock the, rock the toadstool nose.
