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. Get ready for lots of laughs, tabby topics, unfiltered advice, and wine. Lots of wine. Get ready to shake things up. Here's Caitlin. Welcome to Off the Vine. I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow, Wine in Hand.

As for you, should we have country music duo Maddie and Tay in the studio today? Yay! We're so excited. I was just saying I'm such a fan of the podcast, so I'm so excited. I am so excited. Every time we travel, like when we're on the road, I got your podcast rolling. That makes me so happy. I don't know why podcasts.

are so relaxing to me on a plane and I just feel like it's an interview and it's just so fun and yours is always fun and like just a good listen every time imagine you came on and had a terrible time oh my gosh and we're just over here and fake smiling the whole time girl we got rosé it's yeah that's true that's true whispering angel if anybody out there wants to try a new rosé that is the one and we're just saying like we're kind of more red wine drinkers yeah and this is amazing I feel like Whispering Angel would be a great, like, pastel pink paint color. Oh, yeah. Right?

Or maybe blue. I don't know. Well, I was like, are you just saying that because it's rosé and you're looking at it? I think actually blue might be the better fit. Don't you think the angel? Like a sky blue. Or like a good name for a band. Oh, that'll be our band, the three of us, so you can make a band.

Don't tease me. Do not tease me. And I'll be the one in the back whispering while y'all are seeing. Oh, like on pitch perfect. Yes. The one girl that whispers. And you can say, like, really disturbing things, but no one will ever know because you're whispering. And it's strangely sound sexual.

Yeah. Big old jiggly butt. Big old jiggly butt. Yes. Okay. Well, there you have it. We just created a band. Yes, we did.

The whispering angels. Yes. And then whispering angel wine can sponsor us. Boom. And send cases on. And then we can have a bus. With the wraparound. We are on to something.

real y'all oh my gosh now if this doesn't happen i'm going to be really disappointed i'm going to be really disappointed you okay well here we go we're putting it out in the universe we're putting it out there okay so thank you both for coming in today okay i loved your guys's song girl in a country song because it's so like women empowering and and that okay i have a question though is that the song that you performed when you were on that um little platform in the middle of cma awards yes yes i was right there Wait, really? Yeah, I was right beside the stage, dancing. Oh, my gosh.

And my mom would, like, text me. She's like, I could see you on TV. Oh, my gosh. I was right there. Oh, my, girl, you know how crazy those things are? I don't even know who, I don't even know. I'm like, I hope Tay's next to me, but I can't even think right now. It's very overwhelming.

And I think that's also the night that we won. Yes. For music video. Yes. Because I remember what I was wearing. I really liked my outfit. I was wearing leather pants that were a little too tight, but. All too tight.

A little too tight. But you were on that keto diet or what? No, I wasn't. I should have been. What was I thinking? Oh my gosh. Leather pants are not my friend. What?

They are, are you like Ross Geller in your leather pants? Oh my gosh. It is like, it's a struggle. I just got some leather pants. I think they're beautiful, but my like donk booty just doesn't want to get in them. That's what I'm saying. And then when you're on stage and you're on a ward show and you're sweating, it's just not a good combination.

And it's making a paste. It's making a paste. It's like Ross Geller. Yeah, exactly. That's what I think of every time. I love a good leather leggings. I wear them, like, in summertime, I'm like, damn, I can't wear leather leggings anymore. But that's why, because it's like sweat and leather pants, don't.

You're asking for trouble there. Bad news. Bad news. But I remember you guys looking great. And I was dancing so hard to. I love that. Yeah, it was so much fun. It was one of our first times, like, going out to an event together.

That was like a big deal after the show. So it was so fun that we got to go to the, because the whole reason why we love. Well, like, you and Sean love country music, right? Love country music, yes, and that's why we were so excited, and we felt so honored that we got to go, like, walk the red carpet. We're like, we aren't artists, but we just came off a reality show, and we like country music, so put us on the carpet. Totally. Hey, we were just reaping all the benefits. Oh, as you should, as you should, because that show is no joke, man.

No joke. I hear it is hardcore. Oh, that's like an understatement. Totally. Yeah, hardcore. It's like I always want to warn the girls now before they go into the role. The Bachelorette, like, I want to call them and be like, do you know what you're getting yourself?

But nobody can prepare you. I remember telling Andy, she was the Bachelorette before me. I remember calling her and being like, why would you not prepare me for that? And she was like, you can't prepare anyone to that. I can't imagine you can. You really can't. And if you do, you'll just scare them. Right.

And then they won't be open to the process because they'll just like, like, I feel like I really surrendered myself to the process where if somebody had warned me, I would be overthinking every single thing. I would be like, what producer is like manipulating me? Right. Like what you don't know, can't kill you. Yeah, exactly. So now I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry. I can't warn you, but you'll do good. Yeah, you'll be okay. I am excited for Becca's season, though. I know. She's so cute.

I love to. Totally. And how, like, I feel like the world is rooting for her. Yeah. Where I feel like that was something that was a disconnect with Ari is that he was on TV five years ago. So nobody was rooting really for him with his broken heart. Everyone's like, oh, it's so hard to root for you. Like, you're a rich. Yeah. I just hope she doesn't pick the guy that, because you know when they announced that she was going to be the next Bachelorette. Yeah. Oh, right. The guys come out.

I hope she doesn't pick the guy with the horse. That was a bit excessive for me. It was excellent. Was he like, you know, look at my big horse because I'm a little elsewhere? Yeah, yeah. Compensating. Overcompensating. So I'm rooting, but just not him.

Just not that guy. Anyone else but the horseman. Right. No horseman. I get it. No horse man around here. I get the horse guy. Poor horse guy.

I love you horse guy, but. But not for Becca. It was good TV. It was good TV. I'll say that. I saw there's a guy in a chicken suit and I'm like, oh, here we go. Oh, man. Yeah, no. Any guy that's extra like that is not. I know. That's what Sean always says too, because Sean just came out of the limo as like a proper gentleman. Yeah, yeah. And he's like, that's what it should be. I'm like, but the gimmicks are fun as the like lead. I'm like, that kept my night going. Totally. I was like, please somebody do something funny. Yeah. Totally. Totally. I get how that would be nice.

Uh, hey, babe. Are you tired of overpaying for uncomfortable contact lenses? Well, what if I told you that you can get a fresh pair of lenses for every single day for less, 60 contacts for $33. Do the math. That's barely $1 a day. This is way more affordable than other brands. Hubble contacts are quality daily lenses for a better price. I don't use contacts, so I made my sister use Hubble just because I wanted her to believe in the product and hear it firsthand that it was amazing. She loved it.

She loved that Hubble sells directly to you. They can offer contacts for half the price. You love that. Getting Contacts has never been more convenient and affordable. There's no overpaying, no overwearing. It was featured in Vogue, GQ, TechCrunch, Mashable. So go to Hubblecontacts.com to get your first two weeks free of lenses. That's 15 pairs of lenses for free. So go to Hubblecontacts.com and see the difference.

Did you know each other before that or were you like put together and it just worked? So it's a long story, but I'll like kind of do the clip notes.

Sure. So Tay and I, Tays from Oklahoma, I'm from Texas. And there was a vocal coach that was kind of in the Texas Oklahoma circuit where he had two different locations. Okay. So she was going to one location and I was going to another. And he would put on showcases where his students could get up, you know, we're like, teenagers and like trying to get the courage to get in front of people. So we met at one of the showcases that he was putting on and just like hit it off

his friends and like got along really well and both had really similar goals and aspirations and everything. And so we just started chatting and I was coming back and forth to Nashville. I mean, I had only gone by myself like twice. Yeah. And was like getting hooked up with a couple songwriters through this guy in Texas that had connections here. And so I was like, well, we should go do that together.

And if you're into writing songs, let's. just, you know, test it out. And we actually started writing songs in this studio. The one that we're in right now, recording this podcast. We wrote our, yeah, we wrote our first song. Full circle. That front row. No-uh.

And then we ended up writing a lot of the first record. Most of the first record down in the basement and did a lot of, like, yeah, a lot of soul searching down there, really finding out what we wanted to do with our, with our music as babies, you know? I was going to say that is a young age to soul search. Yeah. We got started pretty early with that. We felt like really convicted to like pursue music.

And I mean, everyone that has that musical bug, it's like you just want to go for it. But when basically the, when it got really serious was when there was a publishing company in town and they were really interested in what we were doing and had heard some of the songs that we were writing here at the studio. And with some of their songwriters and it's big machine music. And so a guy Mike Mullenar over there basically. discovered us and was like I'm really into what you're doing I think y'all are really special and he was like we would love to take you under our wing for the summer which was I was graduating

developmental deal kind of thing yeah yeah and so I was just graduating high school and she was homeschooled and so she kind of did it the smart way I was like I don't know why I'm still in public school but anyways so um we moved to Nashville at 17 and basically we had three months where we turned in as many songs as we could and wrote like every day two times a day sometimes Most of the time on the weekends, too. Wow. And just, like, worked our butts off. And then the publishing company was like, let's keep rocking.

Like, there's something here. And so, you know, year goes by. And we wrote Girl in a Country song and that kind of started it. It landed. It landed. It landed. Yeah, it definitely landed. The plane landed.

Yeah, absolutely. And then Fly came about. And then the record. And then now we've had a couple little changes. We had our record label actually shut down. last year. Yeah, I heard that. And so we just made a big label change, but now we have a new single out, and we finished an album, which is so exciting. That must be a good feeling. When you're, like, when you're, like, when am I going to have a nice paved road? And now it's like, oh, it's still

a little bumpy, but it's kind of paved. I like this. Right, right. You know you're in the right direction. There's light at the end of the tunnel. Amen. Yes. And you're, how old are you guys now? 22. 22. I know. I can only say, um, feeling 22 for like two more months and then i'm done oh yeah we're about 23 there's no songs for 23 well we'll write one well whispering angels that whispering angels will write bro whispering angels and i'll be like yeah i can't remember being 23 oh you hush you hush well that was 10 years ago hey you be looking i know thanks it's botox oh whatever you have really good skin hey botox can only do so much you're right you're right no but that's true botox really can only do so much like if you're

I don't naturally have good skin. It's like, okay. I do thank my mom and dad daily for it because I looked at my dad was just visiting and he's 65. And I was like, Dad, you have great skin. Yeah. Like, what do you do for it? And he's like, nothing. I just work outside for you a man.

Yeah, exactly. That's so sad. Men don't have to do anything? I think. No. Don't they say that the men, when you shave your face, that's what, like, exfoliates and keeps away? Oh, probably.

I think that's why. I wonder what's under his mustache then, just some really terrible skin. Who knows? Heavy wrinkles under that mustache. My dad's so cute. He's just got like, he's had the mustache since I can remember. Oh, I love that. But it's just so funny because I'm like, he's like, I don't know, I drink like 16 cups

of coffee and minimal water. Minimal water. That's my kind of vibe. Yeah. He like goes golfing out in the sun with no sunscreen every day. Just live in his best life. So then I'm like, thanks because I think I get some of your like the jeans, you know? And then I blamed him the other day for my eyebrows.

Why? You have great eyebrows. Well, thanks, that's because they're tattooed on. Oh, really? But I don't have great eyebrows, yeah. I have microbladed. I want to do that so bad. You have to fly to Vancouver to this girl, Shauna, see.

She's the best in the whole world. How on earth did you find a girl in Vancouver? Well, because you're from. That's where I'm from. Yeah, okay. Well, I'm not from from there, but I lived there for 12 years. And she does, like, a few people that I know. And she honestly is, like, the best of the best.

She's opening a place in California, too. And, like, honestly, she's, it's all about trust, man. And all about trust. Yeah, it's true. Actually, she's now got a work visa from opening a place in California so we could fly her out to Nashville and she could do all of our brows. Yes. Yeah, yours is like amazing. Okay, so, but one side of my brows like grows straight out and one goes straight up.

Really? So I've had to train them. Yeah, really? Like this side, it's like always nice and up. And then this side is like, qu'n. Yeah, same. What the hell? Like every time I do my makeup.

My eyebrow hairs are so thin. I don't think they go any sort of way. Well, you got to train them. Got to train them? Yeah. He's got to... All right. I'm all about brows.

And right now, I'm, like, really into brows. Yeah. And I went to a brow specialist in New York who does... What's the guy's name? Broderick. Broderick? What a cool name. That's his last name.

Oh. I think I'm also saying it wrong. Who's Sarah Michelle Geller's husband? Matthew Broderick? Yeah, yeah. I can Google it. Friday Prince, Jr. Wait, did I say Sarah Michelle Geller?

Oh she I had it all wrong. Oh, I went in and I'm like, I thought she was going to be like, wow, great brows. She was like, oh. No way. Oh, that is so, oh, that's heartbreaking. Yeah, but it was also very informative and I learned a lot that day. Do you have thick skin to wear like, not just that, that like, if someone does something, you're just like, okay, whatever. Yeah, I'm like, help me. Okay. Oh, see, you're super open to constructive, yeah, that's great. Super open, unless it's Sean. I'm with you. Then I'm like, please. Like my person, my person, my My guy, I'm like, I struggle with critiques.

Yeah. So, but he words it really nicely now. Like, because we've been together for a really long time. I was going to say how long you've trained him. Train the brows and the men. Oh, yes. Train the brows and the men. That needs to be a shirt, y'all.

That does need to be a spurt. Train your brows. Oh my gosh. We need to like T.M. Yeah. Because I'm real. If I walked into Forever 21 and saw that, I would buy it. I would sew buy it.

I would so buy it. We should figure out, like, yeah. Okay. We're starting the band. We're making the T-shirts. The whole thing. We're going to be a few days. So many good things are happening today.

And you know what? Know what I'm thinking? What? Because you wrote and you did some soul searching back in the day when you got successful. Here. In this studio. Jesus. So now.

Good juju-ju's all around. Good juju-jou. Y'all. I feel it. Wait. I have to say this before. Yeah. We go on.

Okay. I want to, like, move this podcast to, not air this Tuesday so we have time to make these shirts so that nobody can steal our ideas. I know. Okay. How can we get a... I think we patented. Wait, I don't know. Can you patent a... Yeah. We could figure something out.

We'll figure something out. We'll figure something out. Get on Shark Tank. Okay. Yeah, exactly. What were you going to say? I interrupted you. What was I going to say? We were talking about... I don't remember. My brain's just like... Oh, me too. Oh, juju. You have good juju. So I say like juju, you know how your Tyler, like, Hollywood Media, how was like, energy.

energies and stuff. I call energy, like, your juju. Yeah. And I'm like, you have very good juju. Really? Because I'm super intuitive, like, how, because you were talking about that on that podcast. And I'm like a very intuitive person. Like, I can tell like when I feel like I'm going to jail with people. You know what I just thought about as you were talking about that?

Juju on that beat? No, the movie, Baby Mama, whenever she's like, I can people's oras. Yeah, like him. And she's like, well, what's mine? And she, like, stands in front of the door where there's obviously a sunset. And she goes, it's orange, it's sunsetty. Looks like a sunset. What movie

that baby mama have you seen that no girl oh it's so good who is who's in that movie like tina fay and Tina fay yeah oh oh I know a movie I have not seen that but I like look up to those two women so I should really really watch that that's what I'm doing I can read or us that's you know good juju yes that's you I'm glad I've got good would you tell me if it was bad um I just wouldn't say anything yeah yeah if it was bad juju I just wouldn't say anything yeah but if you have good juju. I'm like, I'll tell her. I must have had good juju for you to be my best friend for seven years. Oh, you have good juju. Thanks. But I feel like both of us, like, we can tell, like, we walk into a room. Yeah. And like, if we're supposed to meet someone or if it's like a meeting or something. Yeah. We can like tell. Who I'm going to jail with? Yeah. Who am I going to jail with? Who is negative Nancy over there and I need to avoid. You know what I mean? Like. And the fact that you two have gelled for so long. Yes. I know. It's a miracle team. We're the ying to the yang. That's so important and so nice and probably why you're still so success. successful. Thanks. I feel like we just really respect each, but I'll tell you, it is like a marriage.

Oh, definitely. Of course. We are preparing ourselves for marriage. It's hard work. Because you like learn to compromise, but it's also like communicate. We started as best friends and then it started being like a professional thing and then making music and then running a company together and all this stuff. I can imagine if you were put together in a super professional way where you didn't even have time to get to know each other. Yeah. That would be hard. Totally. And you guys were so young that it's like that totally could have not, is there a word for not jellin? No, that's totally. Yeah. Totally. There could be like a situation that could have been terrible. I think you just genuinely have to like love each other and like even at our worst like when both of us are going through tough times or we're like having

an off day. Like you just have to know like okay, it's like sisters where it's just like all is forgiven. You get through it. Yeah. And but yeah. That's a good point because when you become so close with somebody, you kind of just, you get through arguments quicker, and it's not as awkward. You're just like, eh. Yeah. You know you disagree. And you know it's not the end of the world. And it's like, I don't know, you're able to see the bigger picture, I think.

Yeah. And that's how all friendships and relationships should be. Like, I laugh so hard. Sandra Bullock was on Ellen the other day. Yeah. And they were talking about the movie Oceans 8. And she was like, Ellen was like, what was it like working with all these women? She goes, well, believe it or not, women get along.

And then people like clapped because it was like, I love that. I guess people just assume you. Oh, you're working with a bunch of women. It must have been, like, really bitchy, like, you know, gossipy. And then Sandra Ball is like. You could tell you the number of times we've gotten asked if we, like, cat fight behind the scenes. And you know, it's funny. Guys actually fight more on the road than we do.

I believe that. Yeah. There's more drama with dudes, like, within themselves. And Tay and I are like, what's going on here? And we're just drinking our wine, hanging out. Yeah. What's wrong with us? You figured out the system.

You, like, know, to communicate, though. That's probably one. And we're so opposite. Like, I'm super extroverted. type A and she's introverted type B. Really? So it's like I've had to learn how to like if she's upset or something's wrong or she knows she got to pry it out of me.

Yeah, I have to either pry it out of her or know when to not pry and just wait until she tells me and then she is like, she knows when I'm upset. She's like, are you okay? Do you need to talk about it? I'm like, no, I get. Most of the time I just am like, what's going on? That's so sweet that you guys have each other. Oh, it is so.

I wouldn't want to do this by myself. Oh, I couldn't. There's no way. It would be rough. And you can't wait to have a new member join your band. Duh. Exactly. And we're going to have new merch shirts.

Oh. It's going to be amazing. Train you men. The merch is going to be the train the man. Yeah, exactly. Maybe that can be our first single. It'll be like, here's the secret. And then you do it in whisper voice.

Train your men and your brows. Whispering Angel. Love the whispering angels. Oh, I wonder if it's like a checklist shirt where it says train your men, check, your men, check, your brows check your body or whatever like what else you change i like it yeah and then with all of our tour dates on the back exactly yeah world tour coming after you baby you guys don't understand i'm like not going to sleep tonight because i'm not going to think so many other things we can deal we're just little entrepreneurs i know we are this is going to be perfect i've got off

the vine i've got great therapy and now we can do a whispering angel podcast and it'll be like welcome to the whispering i'm just like you guys keep me so young you are young what are you talking about I know I hear that 30s is like the jam I will say I would not go back to my 20s for anything I really wouldn't 30s have been the best years of my life you feel like you learned the most about yourself when you're 20s oh yes that's where we are for sure absolutely like I couldn't even tell you like

20 21 22 where you guys are in a different position than me but I was like I mean I don't even really remember it but I just had no idea who I was that's nice because you guys did some soul searching at a young age. I didn't even know what soul searching was. I was just like, oh, I'm going to work at a restaurant and dance. I just didn't know. Yeah, I figure out, like, even every day, I'm still like, do I know I am?

Okay, yes, I do. Okay, some days it's not like that. I mean, that's very impressive that you can say, that you can even have those thoughts of, do I know who I am? Because I just don't even think I was aware of getting to know myself at that age. Right. It was like, I can honestly say it was 27 for me. 27?

Yeah. But I hear like that is like just your 30s, like late 20s and 30s is where, or I hear that 20s is like you think you know everything. 30s, you realize you don't and you embrace it. And then 40s, it's like you kind of got your mojo. Yes. So I'm like, I don't know what age I'm looking forward to, but right now I'm just enjoying. And then 50s, it just all goes to shit or what? 50s.

No, 50s. My parents are in their 50s and they're just like screw everything. We're just going to drink and have fun and do whatever the hell we want to do. So I'm like, 50s are going to be great too. I want to hang out with your parents. Oh, they're a fun bunch. They sound like lovely. That's so funny because my parents are grandparents now and they're in their 50s because

my oldest brother has a baby now. So where your parents are at and where my parents are at, I love that. That's so funny. My sister's about to leave and they're about to be empty nesters. And so they're like, we're going to live it up. Oh, yeah. Parents get really excited about that. Yeah.

I think they're going to be sad for like a day. Yeah. And then they're going to be like over it. Yeah. My mom was a mess when I left. And I was, like, so fine. I was like, I'm going to Vancouver to dance. And then I did.

And then after, like, two days, I was like, I want to go home. So you did competitive dancing? Oh, yeah. Because I did drill team in high school, which is not the same. Drill team is like, I think maybe is the southern thing. Oh, I've never even heard of that. You know, the dancers that come out for the football game and, like, do the high kicks and stuff? They're not cheerleaders.

No, no. So for my school, it was the Kugan, so it was like a dance squad. I wasn't in it. It's like a dance squad. for high school. Okay. Yeah. And we never had that.

I loved it. It was like cheerleading. It was like a little too, like for my experience, it was a little too catty for me. Oh, yeah. So the dance team was like, it was all like really cool girls. And we just danced and did hip hop and all that stuff. So like I'm like, that's what I did. That was another one of my passions that I love.

I thought that's what I would really do in life. Like I thought I would be a dancer for like Michael Jackson. Oh, that would be amazing. Well, yeah, but it didn't happen. I can totally see you dancing for Justin Timberlake. We need to hook that up. We're just putting so many big things out there today. We're putting it out to the universe, man.

I went and saw Justin when he played Bridgestone. Yeah, was it incredible. It was incredible. And even, I mean, I love him and he's very attractive, easy on the eyes. But I was genuinely looking at the dancers. Like this is. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, his dancers are, that's what I always look at.

Same thing in a band. I'm always watching the drummers. Yeah. I find them entertaining. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. It's kind of like as a musician, like I listen to, or like as vocalists and songwriters.

I think this, you kind of touched on this. I was going to ask what's one thing that has happened to you both individually and as a duo that made you stronger. I'm guessing when what happened with your label and then having to kind of regroup and find your way again was challenging.

Totally. Very confusing. What was your moment? Absolutely that. I feel like for Maddie and I both, we felt like coming onto the scene so young and so, you know, eager and kind of naive and green, we definitely put all of our self-worth into what we did. And so whenever that all folded, it was, I mean, it basically took us, knocked us off our butts. And so we felt like, I don't know, it was just, it was really scary, but through that all, learning not to tie yourself forth into what you do is the biggest thing we've learned from that. I bet. Yeah, I bet. That was a, like, really important. I think moving to Nashville was really hard for me because, like, I had lived in the same house from, like, my whole life, basically. All my, you know, roots were in Texas, and it was just, like, really scary and I was so lonely and homesick and stuff. But also, like, when the label shut down, it's just like when you've worked for something really, really, for a long time, you've been working your butt off, and then it just all comes crashing down. And it's not even because of you. It's because of a business decision.

and that company made. Yeah. But like for me, it was like I totally lost myself. I had no idea how I was. Like there was moments where I physically looked in the mirror and was like, who is this chick? Of course. I have no idea who this chick is.

Because you had been so used to that and that was your identity. Yeah. Yeah. And then once like I started like just getting a little more confidence and the thing is like we're such like women empowerment. Like that's our MO is to like empower women, empower people. It's a big part of why you're here. today. I love having guests like you on here. Yes. But on stage it's like you get up and it's like

we're women empowerment, but you feel like crap. So it's like I had to like really do some soul surgeon. Yeah, totally. And so once I like almost started over and just separated my identity from like I am who I am and then I do what I do. It's not the same thing. Like that's, you know what I mean? You guys are so mature. Oh no. No. We just have gone through some stuff. But that's the thing. That makes you you know, so much stronger and that's, you know, and people probably think because you get to do what you get to do and people think you're so lucky, which you are, obviously. Oh, for sure.

But people think like, yeah, exactly. And people think, well, oh, too bad your label, you know, but you've got everything going on. But really, at the end of the day, you're women figuring out yourselves and who you are and your identity. And that doesn't, some people might think starting at a young age and being so like you're kind of your tie, I always use the term your tires are being pumped.

for like what you do totally that that becomes who you are and you kind of have to like I think it's so great for you guys that you had to go through that because it probably oh my god in this industry you're always searching for confirmation from other people and so you have to find that confirmation in yourself or your spiritual life or whatever it is for you but like oh ain't that the truth amen yeah everyone out there like that's that was one question I was going to say like do you have what is your message to women your age or younger or even older about like why you stand for women empowerment and believing in yourself and everything that you stand for. Yeah.

For me, I think it's important to know that perfection should never be your goal. Yeah. That is so unrealistic. If somebody would have told me that 10 years ago. If someone would have told me that like last month. I'm just kidding. No, but don't strive for perfection and don't get so caught up. This sounds so cliche, but like the destination is not the goal.

Enjoy the journey because you're going to totally miss so much if you don't truly enjoy the journey. And I'll say, for me, I feel like coming into this industry, being an introvert, being a more private person, it was really hard for me to kind of come out of my shell and gain that thick skin, which she taught me a lot about that. But because you show tough cookie. My little Texas woman. I love that. I feel like the biggest thing for me to learn, and I can encourage, hopefully encourage women, is just that it's okay to be who you are. If you're crazy extroverted, if you're crazy introverted, like that's okay. You were made exactly the way you are made because that's the skill that God.

wanted you to have to do what you need to do. You don't need to be any other way but yourself. That is something that I always try and preach as well, like just telling people like, gosh, please just be who you are. Because in a world of the social media, world that we live in and everything, like you always think you're supposed to be. I can remember reading magazines, not even social media, like magazines growing up, like of what you should look like and get a butt like this and be sexy by doing this. And how to look like this girl. And it's like, no, we're all supposed to look different. we're not supposed to be perfect like we're all flawed humans and that's what makes us all cool

yeah exactly it's just you know if you're not flawed for me i do not relate to people that don't have flaws like the minute that someone walks into a room and is all you know up at it i'm like i am not going to talk to them yeah because we ain't jellin yeah i'm like i need to know that you don't think you're perfect and you have some stuff yeah because i got some stuff we all got some stuff if they say they don't or if they act like they don't have some stuff they're liars i just hope i feel And nobody likes a liar. No. True that.

But I feel like as women, like, I will say, like, in every industry, it is trickier. I will say there's struggles being a woman where, you know, I mean, just the whole, you know, movement that's going on right now is so cool. But, like, you want to be taken seriously and everything. But also, like, making yourself stand out from other people. Just the whole thing is just trickier. That must actually be really challenging, too, is trying to prove yourself as young. people in your industry you know like absolutely what whether you're female or male just trying to prove yourself and that you're you know like professional and that you want this and that you're

passionate at from 16 like that's that's young because I remember when we first started coming to town when we were 16 yeah Maddie and I both had just a long bleach blonde hair yeah so people stereotyped us they did they looked at us and they were like okay these two bimbos yeah yeah you know they just didn't understand that we had so much more depth and We actually wanted to write about important things. You definitely proved yourself, though. Thank you. But some people just viewed it as a phase or a hobby.

And so I think for Maddie, we just kept our heads down and we stayed consistent and we just like kept working. And I feel like that spoke more than how we looked or how we came across. We just did what we knew to do. That's really cool. Yeah. I like that. Just like trying to carry yourself.

Exactly. I think as women, sometimes you have to prove yourself even more. Yeah. But I mean, I don't know because, I mean, obviously I'm not a guy. and I know there's tons of struggles, like, you know, with them too. But as a woman saying, I'm like, you have to work extra hard to move yourself. Like my mom, she's like a top dog in the oil and gas industry in Texas. And like she works with basically all men.

There's maybe like two other women in her company. And she's had to work freaking 30 years to be like, no, like you're going to treat me the same way. You're going to pay me the same way. Wow, good for her. She's been such an inspiration for me as like a strong independent woman that, like, like takes no stuff, you know. Yeah, I like it. Another strong Texas woman.

Yeah, she's a strong Texas woman. Texas Tornado! And she loves you and The Bachelorette and everything, so she's going to be so pumped about this. Oh, that's so cool. Now I'm going to have your mom on for a podcast. She's going to tell you all the tea on me. Oh, love it.

I like it. That's hilarious. What's one thing people would be surprised to know about the both of you? Hmm. Uh, oh. Oh, that was nice. My first. Hey, we're doing our warm-up for our band.

I like that. That was good. The first instrument I ever learned was a trumpet. Yeah. Oh, that's good. Same with Sean. Really? Yeah.

It was good. Yeah. It was good. I wasn't that good. I tried. Oh, you're good now. Mine's not that exciting, but I'm a total book nerd. Oh, that's cool.

I love reading. Really? It's like so fun. And I set a new goal for myself. I really want to read 20 books by the end of the year, but I've only finished two. So we're on a struggle bus a little bit. But we're going to get there. you though you're no but literally y'all i found out that there's like a public library by my house

and i got okay way too excited i love this little fact i am i am a nerd in the core of my heart but what is a nerd even mean i'm a huge nerd too and i hate books true man i don't know what it is what's your favorite book of all time oh my gosh okay safe haven by nicholas sparks is one of the coolest books um i love made into a movie wasn't it yes But the book is like, fantastic. Yeah, yeah. I think, okay, so it depends because it's like, do you want like a spiritual soul kind of book

or like a, just like a spicy read? Oh. See, both of those sound nice. Yeah, I read one of each all the time. Like, I have like my two, like, that's my new system, is I have like a soul book. So if I need some soul rejuvenation or if I need just a spicy. Yeah, if I need like an Oprah situation,

there is a book called In a Pit with a Lion on a snowy day. that I live by, it's by Matt Batterson, and it's just all about, like, your spiritual life and just, like, knowing your worth and not being discouraged by obstacles and just owning your struggles. And, oh, girl, it just, like, makes my heart so full. You're going to have to text me that one. I will. I totally will.

It's a long title. Everybody can rewind right now when they're listening and write that down, but you're going to have to check. It's a long-ass title. I'm like, I already forget what you said. Something about a lion and snow. That's actually only what I remember, lying and snow. No, but I think if you honestly looked up, lying and snow, it would come up.

Probably. And book. I'll text it to you, though, because it is just good for the soul. Okay. And what about a spicy one? Yeah. Man, I just read, okay, so this is where the nerd comes out again. I love history.

Yeah. So I just read this book called Z. And you know Scott Fitzgerald who wrote The Great Gatsby? It's about his wife and from her perspective of what it was like being married to him when he was writing the Great Gatsby. Oh, that's cool. And they lived the Great Gatsby. That was their story. almost not the exact story but they lived in the flapper like thing and she was going to all these

parties and had to like play a role as yeah miss fitzgerald it was so interesting and spicy and dramatic and just wonderful i like the word spicy as an adjective is so good okay guys there's a new original series on paramount network that you must watch american woman is inspired by real events of the life of Kyle Richards, the show's executive producer, and tells the story of Bonnie Nolan, a woman in 1975, Beverly Hills, who finds herself unexpectedly single and independent for the first time in her life, which I think that is something we can all relate to. The cast includes the one and only Alicia Silverstone as Bonnie, and features the acclaimed Mina Savari and the sure-to-be-a-favorite Jennifer Bartels as Bonnie's best friend. The three women embrace Bonnie's newly imposed freedom and

face this uncharted territory together while each trying to claim their independence in an ever-changing world that can be reluctant to give it. The show celebrates strong women, yes, female friendships, yes, empowerment fun, yes! All set against the sexy, glamorous backdrop of the 1970s in L.A. Speaking of strong women, I saw this incredible story on my Off the Vine Instagram of this woman, Deb, who felt surrounded by toxic relationships with men, and even her best friends, then found the courage to pick up and move to London for a fresh start. I love it. American Woman premieres this Thursday, June 7th, at 10.7 Central on Paramount Network,

You're listening to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Or Yanny? Yanny. Yanny, for sure. What about you? Me too. Yep. I wonder, here's my theory.

Do you think men? I bet there's a statistic where men probably hear Laurel more than Yanny. Because any time, because my boyfriend heard Laurel, our guitar player heard Laurel. But our drummer heard Yanny. Colton heard Yanny. He did? But my boyfriend heard Laurel. So this is the thing.

Isn't it? The low end is Laurel and the high end. frequency is yanny so Sean here's yanny actually Sean here's yammy with an M yeah me you're like wait that's not a choice he's like is it just me that ears yammy I'm like yeah my theory is completely mess up then I cannot figure it out what about you John what do you hear out there yeah Laurel he hears Laurel yeah yeah there's something about the low frequency I feel like with men because their voices are lower maybe I don't know I don't know but it is tripped to me I know the whole dress thing pissed me off and now

This is like just making me loose sleep. Because I'm like, how do you hear Laurel? There's nothing. I don't even want to try to get into the brainstorm one. And some people hear both. What? There's another one. Oh, my God.

Oh, shish kebabs. So apparently, you either hear brainstorm or, oh, do you know? Dang it. Wait, let's Google. Okay, so yes, Google. But the tricky or the crazy part about this is if you tell yourself, like, I want to hear brainstorm, then you listen to it and you hear brainstorm. Or green needle?

Green needle. Or if you say, I want to hear a green needle, so let's listen to it and see. Oh, I did. I did hear that. This is a new one. I heard that one. I heard green needle. You did? Yeah.

But did you say. Oh, YouTube hit me with an ad right now. But did you think I want to hear me? Oh, I was like, that's an eye hop ad. Oh, I love I hop. Who doesn't? Oh, I love I hope. I love pancakes with like strawberries and whipped cream.

Oh, my God. Yeah. That's so good. Me too. We do it once a week. Yum. Yeah. Okay, here we go.

Okay. brain storm i heard green needle no yes green needle green needle no brain storm i can't hear green needle at all i hear green needle green needle green needle i'm telling myself i want to hear green needle and i mean it's like very like green needle yeah it's like clear as day for me brainstone okay this is just crazy y'all what the heck i think this is the government doing weird stuff i okay you heard both you heard both i tried i said i'm gonna hear green needle and i want to hear wait i'm doing this tell yourself what did you hear dude in here i heard brain needle

but it's coming through the mic through the speakers oh tell yourself you're going to hear brainstorm i'm gonna say i'm gonna hear brainstorm oh okay we're gonna hear brainstorm okay okay okay i can't i can't no man needle is Oh, my gosh, you guys don't hear the S? No. You don't hear an S? No. You hear no.

You hear me? That's amazing. That S is so prominent. Oh, wow, this is weird. That S is like. See, the fact that you hear an S. And you know what? I know. Okay, I want all of your listeners to like tweet us and tell us when they heard that on the podcast, what did you hear?

What is your Twitter handle? Is it different? Maddie and T. Yeah. At Madi and T. And I want them to tweet us and you and be like, this is what I heard. And use the hashtags. Green needle.

Green needle. Brainstorm. And off the vine. Yes, totally. Tell us what you hear. Because I wonder if like through the microphone, through the compressor, through the blah, bra, blah, blah. Maybe they heard. What did you hear John?

Green storm. Green needle. Green needle. Brain needle. Brain needle. Brain needle. Wow. I am mind blown right now.

It freaks me out. And then when you say it was the government, I'm like, it totally is. It's totally the government. Apparently, a man didn't even walk on the moon, so who knows? Oh. That's a documentary on. I don't know. I know.

I'm going back to Canada. Are you guys in? We'll do a Canadian tour. I'm going to go back to Texas because it'll probably secede at some point. No, I'm just kidding. That's amazing. Okay. It's confession time.

Oh, we've got the best confession for you. Should you go first or should we go first? It's the, I call it the confession booth. I love this. But I don't have one. You don't have one? Well, I just can't think of it. I'm like, I don't know, I've told so many on these podcasts and I'm trying to think.

And I'm like, what you eat for breakfast. What I eat every single day? What do you mean? Egg whites, Ezekiel bread with almond butter and half a banana. Oh, yum. Yeah. Coffee. Way more like.

Are your socks matching? Oh, that's a, I mean, this is not a juicy confession. but the other day I went for brunch with my girlfriend and then I came home I did a bunch of things and then I had posted a picture in the morning of like my outfit and by the end of the day someone's like you were two different sandals the whole day and I did I did that's a good confession it's not very juicy but it's funny because I was like wow it one was very specifically like black and one was brown but are the same sandal just different color yes oh oh see that's okay and they're in the same little I have like shoe cubbies and they were in the same one No judgment. Yeah. That was, I. So it's a pretty sh** confession. Hey.

No, I like that. I don't know if ours is a little much, but it's not. Are you kidding? If you listen to the podcast, you know that it's not, nothing is too much. You want to elaborate, you can. But we got our first bikini axis today. Oh, today. Literally right before here.

How terrible was it? Okay. You're blonde. You're blonde. Well, no, they say that blondes are worse. Oh. Yes. I don't know why.

But Tay. Really? Really? Yeah, she told me, she was like, blondes normally have way more coarse hair. Sorry, everyone. No way. But I do not apologize. This is, this is rated. But let me tell you, I don't feel like I have a high pain tolerance. Like, I feel like maybe in the mid range. But everyone was like, everyone that was telling me it's not that bad had high pain tolerances. So I was like, this is going to be terrible. Y'all, I mean, and this is the thing, I'm easing into it. So I did like the extended bikini where it's like, like, like, you know, just wear when you wear a bathing. suit like everything's good yeah because we're going a vacation and the last any girl wants it's just to worry about taking time it's the worst it's just a pain and the worst we went to wax Nashville my girl was amazing and it really did not hurt that bad at all my girl was awesome too she was just trying to talk to me and I was but here's the tip for our confession take two ibuprofen

before you go because I didn't have that much pain you had pain I had a lot of pain but we got we got different what about like percocets how about two percissette so my god was so cute She was like, are you sure you don't want a fireball? I'm like, no. Fireball? They give you shots at this place. No, they don't. I'm going just for that.

Totally. Are you serious? Or wine. That's what their menu says. Yeah. drinks wine shots. Yeah, it's like water. Water wines, yeah.

Okay, that's genius. I didn't do it though. I didn't do it because, girl, I researched this. Thins your blood. It thins your blood and it actually makes it more sensitive in your lady area. Oh. But you know what was really awkward was another confession. there was a man that was, like, sitting next to me right after I had my service done.

Service. So I was, like, kind of sitting funny because I was still just like, ah, this is so weird. And I was just thinking, like, oh, my God, he totally knows that I just, like, got my lady part waxed. This is, like, really awesome. Well, why is he there? Yeah, why is he there? I don't know, but the lady was like, I'll be with you in just a moment. I'm like, oh, no, what is he getting wax?

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, no, you're thinking. I'm going to tell myself it was his eyebrows. Yeah, it was his eyebrows. That's what. Either his eyebrows or his butt. was more, I think he was more uncomfortable than I was because I was thinking he's, he's manscaping at the waxing place. Good for him. Yeah, you know what? Props. Yeah. I mean, who knows to you? But he seemed

a little uncomfortable. Tame your brows and your pubs. Yeah. A different t-shirt. A different t-shirt. But I will say hoodie is a hoodie. For all the listeners, like, Tay and I were more, like, we don't really talk about this kind of stuff that much, like on podcast. Hey, this is just. Hey, but we're on. When you're in the confession, both. We're in the confess, we're in the confess, we're in the that's chambuque and um i i would recommend it's really not that bad and i seriously my pain tolerance is not high at all okay then what's wrong with me because i have a high pain tolerance and i couldn't hack it did you go Brazilian or yeah oh see i went easy i went bikini first so then i could ease it into it so i went for my first time when i was 21 and i was going to Vegas and i

went in and the lady was very russian and very aggressive oh i'm not stereotyping it was just funny that the two were, like, because of what she said. Totally. Yeah, because she had no sympathy for me. Oh, my gosh. And I was like, maybe I'll stop. And, like, I'll just, you know, like, do the beginning. And she was like, no, you will regret.

Like, and she, like, made me do the whole thing. Oh. But did you? Which I was very grateful for by the end. But I still can't do it to this day. I want laser. Oh, see. Oh, did you do laser?

No, but I'm going to. See, okay, so my gal, I will tell you the girl. I wax. Here's a confession for you. Yeah. I'll wax myself because. I can't go to somebody because, yeah, because it hurts too bad if somebody else is it. But if I can have control, I'm okay.

See, and that's how I thought I was going to be, but my girl was so good. She was like, okay, so this is what we're going to do. And she's like, I promise. She's like, if you have pain, we can stop. Don't worry. But she's like, I'm going to, like, get the most painful part over with. And there's, like, one area that's a little more painful than others. Oh, I'm like picturing it.

So she did that. And I was like, I'm just thinking about it. It was like a second of like, yikes. Yeah. But other than that, and like, it was fine. And I thought it was going to be. really awkward and invasive and stuff. Yeah.

But it was... Yeah, because you only got the... Yeah. I mean, I was like on all fours. I was on all fours. Oh, yeah, because you have to do that. Oh, my gosh. See, yeah.

I was like, Tay, you're a brave woman. She booked me. Actually, Tay was the one who booked it. And she booked me for the whole thing. And I was like, I am not doing that because I actually want to start doing this because I feel like shaving is just like, oh, it's the worst. It's just a pain. Well, that's my thing.

Like, I, people know that I just hate shaving, like, even if it's my legs. Armpets, anything. But then Shick sent me their new razor of shaving. The up and down one? Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing. No way. And now I'm, like, get excited to shave.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Why, natural? Okay. Maybe I should go grab one of those. Yeah. Because my legs, I'm like, I'm not getting legs. You should waxed.

Oh, yeah, no. But you need to tell us how the laser goes. Because if the laser is better than the waxing, Is it just as painful or? Oh, I think it's worse, but then it's more longer term, like, it's the longevity that counts because then you, like, don't have to go back for, like, three years. Oh, wow, yeah. So you know it's going to hurt.

Okay. Totally. I'm just proud of us because, like, we went in there as a united force as, like, BFFs, and we're like, we're going to, actually, she had to, like, beg me for, like, a whole month to do it. Oh, yeah. She's like, we need to do it. We're going on vacation.

We're going to be at the beach. Where are you guys going again? Booking our, I'm going to board. Borah, and I'm going to Cabo, so like this. Yes. I'm so jealous. I never do vacation.

Oh, well, then you deserve it. I'm not good at vacation. What? I'm so good at vacation. I'm so bad at vacation. Like, I'm always just like thinking is everything okay? Like, is someone need me? But this time I'm like, no, I'm turning that phone off and I'm out.

Shut it all off. I am like really good at shutting off. Sean gets like, he's like, I wish I could do that. I will like get into bed and I'm like, I'm shut off. I'm done. Wow. I don't think about anything. I'll fall asleep.

Yeah. Yeah, Maddie called me like 20 times this morning and I put my phone on Do Not Disturb. When I'm sick, do you do the same thing? No, but I just put it on silent and put it away. Yeah, I know. I'm like, and my phone is on all the time and I'm like, I'm just so nervous that I'm going to miss something.

Yeah, that's weird. I got a weird phone with it. That's a way better way to be because then it's like nothing is that urgent and like. If it is, they will find a way to get a hold of them. Totally, totally, totally, totally. They will. Well, those are great confessions.

Thanks. Thank you for sharing. I just, we just totally let the world know all of our business. Hey, it's a natural thing. It's like 98% females listening. Oh, perfect. So you're good. Okay, great.

And John out there. Yeah. Sorry, John. John's heard much worse from this podcast. Pretty mild day. Yeah. It's a mild day. That's a very mild day.

You know what? Maybe I haven't listened to like, or no, actually, I listened to the Emily. Oh, yeah, the sex expert. Yeah, I listened to that one because I was like, oh, this is interesting. It was very interesting. It was very interesting. I feel like more, it wasn't even like super sexual. It was more about like.

No, it was just informative. Yeah. Yeah. Like your head space and all that kind of stuff. I actually really enjoyed having her as a guest, even though I told my mom not to listen. My mom called me after. She's like, confession. Aw.

I totally listen. I'm like, oh, mom. You're like, mom, that's weird. Like you would. This time of year brings us two things, graduations and Father's Day and the gifts that go along with them. But before you buy dad, another tie or that grad balloon that will probably float away, ask yourself. this. Does my dad or grad like wings or sports or better yet both? If the answer is yes, then get them a Buffalo Wild Wings gift card. Right now, if you purchase $30 worth or more in store or

online, they'll give you a $5 bonus to keep for yourself. That's a gift that gives back. How generous of you. Buffalo Wild Wings. Wings, Wings, Beer, Sports. Terms and conditions apply. Do you want a little more wine? A little splash? Oh, I'll take a splash. Yeah, you can have a splash. We're almost done, so you might as well just have a little splash more. Don't want to go to ways to mean. A little splashy splash. Perfect. I'll have a little splashy splash.

You're a wonderful hostess. Yeah, you are. Oh, you should come over. I feel like you throw wonderful parties. Like not like... I live to host. Really? I love hosting, yes.

Hey, have you ever done the eneagram? Have I done the enigram? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, can I... She's going to guess your number. No, I'm not going to get it right. I'm just trying to... You can guess. Okay.

And then you guess ours. Okay. I know what you are. You're three. No. I'm a... I was two, actually. I was thinking you were a three.

I'm a three. Yes, I got a right. My mom's a three. But I think I'm two with a wing of three. Are you a nine? Yes. I knew it. Oh, my gosh.

Y'all? And our public says she's a nine too. You're a nine? Yes. Oh my gosh. That's so funny. I could have guessed three. Totally.

And Sean's a three too. I love that. And I'm a two with a wing of three. Oh, I've got a wing of nine, which is weird. Really? Yeah. Peacemaker. But like, my boyfriend is a.

two, but he's an introverted two, and I'm an extroverted too. Okay. So it works. What about y'all? Are you an introverted or he is? Do you think I'm introverted? I know. It's like the last few people would ever call me.

No, he is. He is introverted. Yes. Yeah. He's an introverted three. Yeah. But it's funny because when I found out he was a three, I was like, we're never going to work. I know.

But then it's like two different. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like as long as it's not exactly the same. Yeah. I've never seen a couple that's super similar that like. works out right yeah no because if he was like in the driver's seat with me being this extrovert i'd be like man back there uh-huh yeah i'm like we need the wheel yeah and Tay's like oh i'll take

i will totally take the passenger side like yeah i'll take a little snoo in the passenger yeah that's so great that is but she's still like you still get in the driver's seat a lot oh yeah you don't mind the passenger yeah that is Sean i'm also an i nfj so with the Myers briggs have you done that i'm sorry what oh okay so myers briggs It's more of like a professional test. Some people are required to take it for their jobs. Really? We'll text it to you.

It's amazing. So it's less like therapy driven. It's more, I think, like professional driven. It tells you what jobs you're best suited at. Okay. And for me, I'm an I and FJ. And one of the number one things is it says people mistake us for being extroverted and assertive because we kind of come across that way, but we're really not at all. I think you and Sean would be similar.

Like the peacemaker and very like, blendable, every situation that she's. goes into, she can like blend into anything. You're a little chameleon. She's my chameleon for sure. That makes sense. And like brings out really good qualities in everyone and like. That's so. Would you like a touch you? Are you a crier? Because I am. I'm not. Well, you know, recently I've been happy crying a lot. Oh, happy crying's great. Happy crying. Good for you. I'm really enjoying this a lot. I know. It's so much fun. Wait, I want to do the can you not? Oh. Can you not? Oh. Do you have a good one? Oh, then. boys.

Oh, yeah. I was thinking this. Okay, so I tweeted, too, people love the canyon knots. Like, it's so much fun. I love them. Okay, good. I think they're so fun. It's hilarious because, first of all, cano not is funny to say.

Kennaut. It's fun to say. Yeah. Like, like, L. L. Sarah, S-A-R-A. Sarah. Without the H, because ages are L.

So, I love that segment. I put it out there on. I was good at. To help us, I was in tweeder. Twatter. I'll put it out there on the twatter. We're talking about bikini waxes and now she's all crazy. That's what we were saying.

Good thing you didn't come in. No, that's what threw us off. Yeah. Anyways. So I did, Kenny, not like guys, boys, whatever. Yeah. We don't need to do Kenny not men because they get it. Yeah, totally.

So I put it out there and some people had some really good ones. Betsy Joe, which, by the way, love that name. Great name. Had my favorite one because she said, Can you not tell me I'll find my other half someday because I'm already a complete person. Thanks. Amen, Betsy Joe. I was like, yes, Betsy Joe Bauer.

That is good. That's a great name. Yeah, great. That is really good. Yeah. So I was really happy about that one. Because it was like, she was like, I'm not going to make this about the guy. I don't need a guy.

Yeah, I'll complete on my own. Can you not? Yeah. Totally. Can you not? Not. The more drawn out, the better. Can you not?

Yeah, not. Okay, go. Okay, you go first. Oh, okay. Can you not... That was a good one. That was a good one. Take a million selfies.

No one in their life should take a million selfies. Do you guys do that? Yes, I know a couple. Not cute. And it's just not attractive. Yeah. Or can you not follow only supermodel and bikini models on Instagram? Yeah.

Because then we know you're a douche. For real. Yeah. For real. Like, it's like you can't hide that. We can see who you're. you're following, and now we know you're a douche. Totally.

It's just like, okay, I have one that's fresh on my mind. Can you not hit on me in a professional setting? It's weird, dudes. Does that happen? Oh, yes. Like, okay, in the music industry, it's like, you know, people get flirting and stuff. But, dude, if I'm playing the same show as you and, like, we are, it's just like, don't do it. Oh, no.

Just can you not? Can you know that? At the end of the day, can you not? If it's like, you know, you're into a chick, like, feel it out. Yeah. Guys, like, have some patience, okay? Know your audience, yes. Just, like, feel it out.

And then if you want to bust a move, but don't be busting moves when the girl is not giving you any kind of vibes. I got hit on so badly one time at a restaurant when I was clearly wearing, like, I'm not wearing my ring right now, which, by the way, is so weird for me. Because I went working out this morning. I know. And I didn't put it on. And I didn't put it on.

But I usually keep it on even when I work out. started to knock because it caught once and now I feel naked yeah totally and then I feel like I'm like trying to cover up something like going on well the thing was there was fine yeah on a flight recently there was one of the flight attendants he was like probably 50 or 55 yeah and the girl next to me was like this beautiful like sweet very like I didn't really know her that well but she seemed very sweet it was beautiful and he was just like hitting on her he was like you shouldn't be flying southwest you should be flying on the victor Secret Model plane and it was just being gross and I was like know your audience like you are working

don't be gross this girl's like my age like just no that's not okay and ladies too like I see some like cougars like you know they're trying to hit on these young ends don't get me started on women hitting on Sean oh I'm sure that's a big can you not for me because I'm like just because he has followers on social media doesn't mean he's like a free for all like you get to just like he's not and by the way he's not Ryan Gosling I know you guys think he looks like him but he's not so stop treating him like he be respectful

he has a fiance like let him be don't don't cross the line can you not cross the line can you not cross the line here's one big one for me I hate when guys say hey smile oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh like I never anyone say that to me when we're playing

shows and they're like look how pretty Maddie and Tay are and I'm like dude we're not up here because of our faces. We've worked our butts off. Yeah. Yeah. No kidding. We're very talented young ladies. Yeah. But I mean, that's the thing is like, obviously if someone's like, oh, you're really pretty, you're beautiful, like, oh, thank you. And let's move on. Like, let's not just, you know what I mean? Like, dude, I've worked just as hard. Like, we're all doing this together. Yes. I hate that.

That's a good one, actually. Can you not? Yeah. Can you not? Like, be like, oh, good job. You're great at your job. Yeah. You're talented. And you're beautiful. Bam. Bonus. But more on the inside, which is more important. Totally. Wait, if somebody told me I was more beautiful on the inside, I'd actually take that as a, like, pretty big insult. You're more beautiful in the inside. Wait, what? I bet I'm, but I'm funny.

Excuse it. Oh, this girl, so this girl, Jade said, can you not say you're going to be my future ex-wife five minutes after meeting me? Guys think that's funny. Excuse me? Oh, meet my future ex-wife. Aren't, ew, that's disgusting. These days are just, they baffle me. I think I would walk away.

Oh. But you know what? After spitting in his face. Totally. Like man or woman, like if you're on a date and someone says something so bad, like, what do you do? You can't just get up and walk away because it's like you're a bitch or you're an a-hole. Like it's like that's when you have a friend that you text a code word to and they call you with an emergency. Yeah, we have that system too.

Piranha is the word. Parana? Yeah, text piranha. Parana means emergency. Help. Mine's muskrat. Oh, see, you know, weird words Because everyone's like piranha

And it's like, oh yeah, it's this inside joke Yeah But really it's like, bye T-T-F-O man, come on I love it Do you guys have any more? Can you not? No, but I love those.

I don't, do you? I don't, do you have any? I mean, I could go on just because I have one. I have one. Yeah, go. Can you not? Can you not?

I mean, like when you're in the airport, don't stop in the middle of the freaking, like, walking area and just sit there, like, on your phone. You know what I'm talking about? Those people that just stop right in front of you? I love that you have turned this into not about guys anymore and just into your biggest pet peeves. Oh, I hate that.

I could go on the right side. In general, can you not? People stinking on airplanes. Can you not smell like crap when you get on a plane? Take a shower. Do you not smell yourself? Oh, take a shower. If you can afford a plane ticket, you can afford a shower.

People probably say that about me, though. Why? You smell like it. I love jumping on an airplane nice and greasy. No, but greasy doesn't stink. Body odors, what I'm talking about. No deodorant. I am that kind of person that gets on a plane and opens a bag of beef jerky.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm that person everyone hates. But I love a beef jerky. I do too. I hear you. But it smells like farts. It does smell like farts right when you open it. Yeah.

And can you not fart on planes? Like go to the bathroom and let it rip. Yeah. You know what I mean? Actually, or just hold it like an adult. Yeah. Totally. Just hold it and then release the cracking when you get off the flight.

I'll never understand that. Sean and I get so mad when people toot on planes. It's so annoying. It is so annoying. Or when someone sneezes like right next to you and doesn't like do anything to cover the sneeze and I'm just like, I definitely wanted your saliva on me. I'll like sneeze into my arm and then go, it's allergies.

I'm not sick. I'm not going to get you sick. But into your arm and your shirt, that's acceptable. But when they're just like, oh my God. You're like, that's cute. I remember my first airplane. Right. I was going to ask if you guys were single before that, but then I'm like, oh, you're both dating.

I know, we're both dating. We are. We are. We are going on vacation. I know. Going on our vacations with our dudes. I'm so jealous. Okay.

And so she would call me and just tell me things like, I don't know, he said this. And like, I don't know, he makes an effort to talk to me and hang out and spend time and blah, blah. and so she finally was like yeah we like went out on a date but it was like kind of friendly but I don't know

No, that's what I was listening. I was like, genius. Aw, sweet. Thanks. I'm honest. That's what I am. No, I'm just honest.
