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 Poulter 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.

They're honestly the best people I've ever met. You guys are going to fall in love with these people just as much as I have. Evan and Peter Hollins are here.

They are a power couple who have had the pleasure of, I had the pleasure of meeting during Broadway. We'll talk about funny stories like that because they turned off, they didn't turn off my mic, but we'll get to it. It doesn't matter. Peter's an entrepreneur, educator, and classically trained vocal artists who's a Acapella performer.

He's like back there being like, what else you got to say about me? Sorry, I can't read right now. I've had too much tequila. Evan is a Broadway singer, YouTuber, whose music videos are absolutely incredible, and she's casually writing her first musical now. They're also friends of mine. I'm parents to the two cutest kids I know. Please welcome my guest for the night, Evan and Peter Hollins.

All right. So Mr. Chris Harrison was telling me about this crazy party Hulu through in Beverly Hills with all the biggest reality TV stars from like every show. And now I have to watch the commercials to see what happened like everyone else. I don't usually get FOMO, but in this case I have extreme FOMO here. Luckily for you, Hulu has the reality TV that you love. So start your free trial today at Hulu. So we had a moment.

We had like a moment where Candace Glover and Bianca Ryan and who was the other one I'm blanking, Josh. Jeff Kaufman. And they were all seeing these beautiful songs. Oh, yeah, have a seat. It's going to be a while. Everybody have a seat. Yeah. Yeah.

Enjoy yourself. Let the people behind you see. Well done. I've never met anyone else who can do that. I was trying to do it backstage. It's like a do it again. It's like a clap like. Oh, we can hear it in the mic.

What? I'm like, eh. So we would be standing backstage, and the curtains were closed, and the three of them were singing out on the front stage, and we're like on this pedestal, and we're all just like in our gowns, and we're waiting. And every time we were back there going, yeah, and we're so excited.

And then one time, can I tell the story already? Yeah. So one time, the curtain's about to drop, and we're about to have our big moment, and Evan looked at me and she goes, I'm pregnant. And I was like, wait, and then the curtain dropped, and I was like, anyways, my mic was off because that's what they did to me. But these two can sing, and they would get so frustrated because they would turn off my mic.

It was a blessing. No, it wasn't. This girl can sing. You guys don't know. Well. I've got a sore throat, so... I'll sing for you later. Don't make me sing.

Don't make me sing. I'll sing for you later. I need to have a little bit more of the liquid courage before we get there. Anyways, so yeah, we had quite the time on Broadway. We got to live in New York, and you obviously are just like Broadway queen. Like, you know every, every Broadway show, you know, every song, your voice is stupid. Like, you have the best you both do. It's actually ridiculous.

So, how did you guys get started in the, like, music biz? Oh, yeah, you have to. Oh, they're going to say, trust me, I put them up to a whole medley. Yeah. No, you're going to, you're actually, I'm not going to lie, out of all the places I'm visiting on this tour, I was the most excited for this one. one because it's like no offense Blake I love to have a good bachelor guy on the pod I love to have Jason on I love to have these like big time guests but these are like one they're good people two they're just like you're going to hear their voices and it's going to change your life wow wow no pressure but I'm not kidding and and it's just like that's something so cool that I can and bring to you guys that it's like a unique little experience that we can have some music

here. So, so sing, bitch. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. We will get them to sing. We have a whole plan for you. But yeah, how did you guys, one, meet and two, get into the, did you meet through, oh, I know the story, but go. Oh, wow. Can I start? Yeah. Yes. Okay. Hi guys. Hi. I should let you talk now. I know you didn't come for us, but we're here too. We're just, we're here with me. It's my world and everybody's living in it. Hell yes. So I saw this lovely creature.

Okay, I'm sorry. All Corvallis fans, we actually went to the University of Oregon. Don't hate us. Okay, all right, all right. I just want to get, but, but go Blazers. You can just agree on that. So, so this lovely, this lovely lady was, this lovely lady was singing on. campus. I started an

Acapello group at the University of Oregon called On the Rocks. Okay. Awesome. Awesome. That's really cool. And she was this beautiful angel singing in the female group, which was currently at that time called Eight Ladies and a Bowtie.

And I had such great game. I walked up to her, Blake, this is really pathetic. I said, wow, you, why are you in this group? I mean, and that was my pickup line. Guys, it worked really well, obviously. Two babies later.

But yeah, actually, that entire movie, Pitch Perfect is based on her group at the University of Oregon, DeVisi. True story. True story. That is actually a really cool point, though. I mean, I feel like I need to reiterate. The Pitch Perfect movie was based on your...

I didn't throw up. Like, I didn't, that was me. Yeah, I mean, she found it to do. But, but each character was actually based on girls in your group. That's wild. We had to buy the movie ticket. I mean, Hollywood changes things. Of course.

TV and movies change things. You're a better storyteller. You can take it away. There's nothing to tell. That's, yeah. Oh, that's it. And then it was love from there. What was saying?

Walking on Broken Glass. That was like our tune. Oh, what was? Oh, that's why you guys came out to that. That's so cute. So for the really, like, hardcore. What is, like, your go-to little ditty if, like, somebody like me was just like, hey, what's your little go-to moment right now, sing a moment?

No, no idea. I will say, married to a singer. Well, we're both singers, but we'll be in the grocery store. I don't even notice, and Peter's, like, singing every fucking thing. Excuse me. Ooh! That's, yeah, they like that. You're the cutest.

Do you know where you are? Yeah, there was a particular letter. They were waiting for that. Anyway, but he'll just be like, rise, or whatever, he's singing about everything in the aisle, and I don't even notice it anymore. Yeah. And people are, like, looking over. I love to sing. There's nothing wrong with singing.

Do you ever sing, arise and shine? Oh, God. I was just going to sing the way. Yeah. We, like, we are old people. We're parents, and we are not into pop culture, but we're good friends with Miranda sings. And she, like, Colleen. Colleen.

So the other day I was like, Peter, there's a whole thing that's, caught and we went down the rabbit hole yeah and so we did like a little Instagram like fries and shine you did it yeah yeah is it on your Instagram I don't know it was not a story those go away right we're like should we wake up sailor and be like rising shine oh that's amazing I love it okay so then you fell in love and then you got married and then you we're both living where yeah so I'm from Eugene um yeah Eugene I say Eugene oh I know I know I knew that. I knew that. Yeah, and Peter's from Ashland. We named our son Ashland. Oh, my gosh. What? Yeah. So, yeah, pitch. We always just like to get to the point. We're like, yes, pitch perfect is like our life story. But it's so cool. You guys are literally one of the best couples I know. So we, you now live in Eugene. Eugene. You have two kids. I have to tell you guys something. I am so obsessed with. I I haven't met Saylor, their youngest yet, but they're, how as old is he now?

Four or five? Five, and I know. Oh, gosh. So I met him when... We needed a babysitter. We needed a babysitter, and Caitlin was like... This is that you will learn from this child. He's five years old.

So I met him when he was three, and this is what he did. I'll never get over it. We're reading a book, and there's a pirate balancing on a fence. And he looks at me and he goes, Caitlin, that's rather daring, isn't it? Three, he was three years old when he said that. that to me. And I was like, rather daring. And he was, everything that comes out of his mouth is like inspiring. And like, he's more well spoken than I am. It's, but that's the thing with kids. Like, he's so, he has that side. And then last night we're like, you reek of poop. Like, you need to

wipe your bottom. Wife your butt. You're like, why are you smart, but you're not wiping your butt? Right. Well, he's, yeah. And sometimes I think you'd forget that because you're like, can you not? Can you not? Which is a great segue. Who loves a good can you not? Can you not? So I'm trying to do can you not in every city. So like Seattle, I can't remember what it was. Like, can you not put your cat on a leash at the dog park?

Oh my gosh. I didn't. Is that a thing here too? Or? Okay. then Vancouver Can You Not was like, I actually don't remember. Blake, do you remember what the Vancouver Kenyonaut was? We were pretty strong. It has a lot of rain. There were rain jokes. There were a lot of weather jokes and like some traffic. We're better than that here. We don't need to talk about the weather.

Okay. Here's my Kenyon. I'll start it off and then if anybody feels like they have the urge to jump in with a Portland Kenyonaut. Everyone's like, yes, we have some. So many. We were talking about it backstage and I was like, can you not just name a regular coffee midnight oil and charge me 9.50 for it? Because it's called midnight oil. But, but it's, come on, the Scandinavian, the Scandinavian love of black licorice wrapped in a pillowy latte. It's dark, moody, and scary delicious with a sweetness that haunts you, stalks you, and eventually devours you. you for 9.50. It's a f*** coffee.

9.50. 9.50. I would buy it. Because it devours you on a pillowy latte. That's like a crispy flaky crust. What's a pillowy latte? That's a little crack. Just a little hint of crack in there.

And cocaine. Yeah. And with a hint of cocaine. So yeah, that was my can you not? Do you guys have any? Wait, can you not keep Portland weird? Is that a thing? Yes.

I feel like, can you not shave your mustache because it's gross? Like, no, do you mean can you shave your mustache? What? Can you shave your mustache? Can you? Can you not leave your journey mustache? Can you not have crusty crumbs? All right, so you have probably heard of the American Heart Association.

They're a relentless force dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke with a mission to bring the world longer and healthier lives. We sit too much and you know what? They're calling us out for it. Shots fired. If you've been sitting this whole time, you should probably get your heart rate pumping. And if you've been up and about, that's awesome.

We should all probably be a little bit more like you. Because most millennial women have deprioritized their health and we are here to change that. So stand up, walk around the house or your neighborhood for the next 30 minutes and get that heart rate pumping. We'll sit here and scroll. for half an hour just sitting and listening to a podcast but think about this two and a half hours of walking every week for a year is like walking across the state of wyoming Wyoming Wyoming walking and a

healthier heart you can sign me up so get off that couch of yours and let's get walking maybe stand up sit back down in a rapid succession and hey look at that you done a few squats and if you did that multiple times a week hit the two and a half hours of walking a week goal you'd be benefiting your heart so much. And guess what? I care about your hearts. Check out some more facts on the American Heart Association's website by visiting heart.org and start making moves. I also wanted to, I want to dive a little bit more into the singing thing because we are going to hear you sing. So I feel like, I just want to know, is the movie pitch perfect like it was in like real life? Like, was it cutthroat like that where like the magician like can't sing, but he's really good?

but he just has to like go into his dorm room and not was it cut through okay so there there were two competing groups on campus that's real yeah uh there might have been multiple relationships within that but uh i cca the competition actually does exist so that's real that's real the judges are definitely not as funny or quirky or cool at all okay there was not any throw-up okay the throw-up scenes were a little added for dramatic effect okay um i don't know what else What else you got? I just think our story was way more interesting than the movie. Really?

Yeah. What? What's a true story? So what we need to do is make a video or a documentary about you guys. The real story. Yeah, tell us. Tell? Yeah.

I mean, I don't know, though, but I think because it was my experience, I'm like, it was super interesting. Yeah. Maybe Hollywood doesn't think that. The main thing was we competed at the, like, ultimate level. The finals in New York City. Yeah. Just like in the movie, Lincoln Center, and there were no female groups on stage except our group. So that was like, women empowerment, all right?

So we, yes. And our, like, big, so the no-digity, like, the no-diggity scene to me is, I arranged yeah by Usher. I came to the group when I was like, so we're going to do yeah by Usher. And they were all like, the fuck we are. And, like, at the time, we were, like, just 14 white girls. Like, we just did hat. Like, it was, like, half. She did the rap solo, though.

She was usher. Can you do it right now? Yeah, she's so mad at you right now. I was done. We did not prepare a rap solo. How does that solo go? Can you like beatbox or something? No.

I can. I can. Yeah, you beatbox. Okay, what kind of beats do you need here? Like, spats, oh, oh, oh, oh, no, uh-e-uh-e-mm-d-d-d-d-d-d-t.

So we're going to do a pregnancy fact or fiction. And I plan on getting pregnant, I hope, in the next two years. So I want to know these things too.

Oh, wait, wait, wait, don't take me up on that. That's just a hope. That's just a hope. Okay. Since you've done the whole prego thing a couple times, I wanted to ask you, is it possible? to get pregnant while already pregnant? No.

Wait, there's a trick question. I'm just to say yes. It's actually possible. How? It is. It's so, so rare, but it's actually possible. Don't ask me the howls. I'm not a doctor.

Okay. Okay, maybe you can guess. Fact or fiction. If a pregnant woman has morning sickness, in sickness, it usually means she's having a girl. Fiction. Fiction. There is no scientific proof.

Yeah, and were you sick? I felt awful on Broadway. Oh, there you go. The longest human pregnancy record was 375 days. Was the baby like 21 pounds? I believe that. I believe that. It's a fact.

That sounds like head living. hell. Yeah. That's a fact. It happened in 1945 and the baby girl was completely healthy. Maybe too healthy. Wow. Okay.

Pregnant women should avoid getting manicures until the baby is born. Ficked. Fact. If it's, if it's the first baby. The fumes. I mean, there's fumes and everything. I don't know. Okay.

I didn't bleach my hair. Yeah. It's fiction. When I was pregnant. Yeah. It's fiction. Totally safe. The salon is using safe practices.

I mean, it depends on the salon. Playing with a pregnant woman's nipples can cause her to go into labor. Yes, he did that. Okay, can I just say my first baby? Did it put you into labor? Story time. Story time. It was like, okay, it was like sirk to solet.

That's how I describe it. Like our first baby, we were with a midwife and a birthing center. Yeah. Yes, were those people. okay um trying to do a natural birth here and my son seven hours I pushed I tried so hard oh we tried every I pulled on a bell I like swung on a rope it was like everything ever he did it all he did try the dittily yeah or whatever that is and it and it didn't work but he tried I mean things happened we still ended up doing an emergency C-section because life

oh dang TMI it's great no it's not there's no such thing as TMI here He tried. He tried. But it says it's a fact. It can trigger contractions. Yeah. Okay. It's common to have strong cravings for laundry soap and dirt while pregnant. I mean, this would be pretty f***ed up if I just made that up in my head and wrote it down.

I don't know. It's obviously a fact. I'm learning a lot. I'm enjoying this immensely. It's actually a fact. It's called, I don't know how to pronounce that. Pika? I've heard of Pika, yeah.

Yeah, and it often means you have a vitamin deficiency. Spooning with your partner before having sex can increase your chances of getting pregnant. Let's get a pool. Oh, wait. Spooning. How about just spooning? That would be great. I mean, that increases your chances of not getting pregnant.

Wait, spooning or going in the pool? I missed that whole thing. Spooning. Spooning with your partner before having sex can increase your chances of getting pregnant. I have no idea. Yeah. I'm going to say true. It is true.

Fact. Foreplay and physical contact help raise the male sperm count. So there's that. Interesting facts over here, guys. You learn a lot coming off the Vine Live podcast. That's awesome. Anywho, I think we should confess. We're there. We're there. We're there. We're there. We're there in the podcast where we need to confess. And this is actually quite embarrassing. I might tell it again in L.A. because I feel like L.A. people would really be in shock and hate me for this. I'm a murderer. I'm a murderer. Oh, that's all I have to say to get you guys. I'm a murderer. Okay, so here's the thing. Because the ABC isn't recording this. They're probably listening, though. I went to a revolve event in an, it. Napa Valley. And if you guys know Revolve, it's like the best clothing brand. They always do the most extravagant trips with these like babes. They're all models and Instagram models. And it's so funny because I think I'm just there for comedic relief. Like I don't think I'm there for any

other reason. And so I'm there and we're having this beautiful dinner and at this winery and Amanda Santon is very afraid of bees. Definitely afraid of bees. And I did. And I did, not know that bees were going extinct and that they're very important to our ecosystem. Shame on me. So Amanda's scared and this bee just keeps like coming onto her plate and I just, I'm at this long table and I'm telling you it's all like the LA people, like they're all like, like we eat, I'm not anything against vegan because I actually try to be vegan but they're like vegan And they're like all about the animals and everything.

And, yeah, I had a steak knife. And we're at this beautiful dinner and this woman's making a speech. And Amanda's like, and I was like, don't worry, I got it. And I took a steak knife and just casually sliced a bee in half. Whoa. Like, I didn't even, I was like, don't worry, I got it. I'm not afraid of bees. Clearly, I obviously don't know anything about bees.

and I just You're ruthless. And everybody at the table was like, you monster! And I was like, my heart was in the right place. And so I was so impressed with my ninja skills. I literally just casually sliced a bee in half

and nobody was impressed. And everybody gave me the dirtiest looks. The girl stopped her speech. I think I heard like a record go like a baby cried. A glass broke and everyone just looked at me with disgust that I'd sliced a bee and a half. You monster. And I was like, you're welcome. And they're like, Caitlin, no, don't.

But apparently that's not good because they were like, bees are a dying breed and you just kills one of them. There's only a few laughs. And I was like, so here's where the confession comes in. I studied it. I was like, good news, everybody, it's a wasp. No, it wasn't. I lied. That's my confession is that I am a murderer and I lied that it was a wasp because it made me feel better about my decision.

Wow. All right. So giving holiday gifts is great. Over spending on all those gifts is definitely not great. So why spend more than you have to? Finding the lowest price is easy if you have honey. Yes, honey. Oh, God.

I was on this home goods website the other day, buying gifts for some friends, some cozy blankets for myself, and when I got to checkout, I was literally shocked at how much honey saved me. I saved more than $50, you guys. 50. Just because I, I had Honey installed.

That's joinhoney.com slash vine. Peter, do you have a confession? I'm going to pass until my wife goes. But I would just like to make a comment. Yeah. I think it's very, very impressive how you're able to have so many confessions. It's insane. I don't understand it.

I do a lot of embarrassing things. My mind is boggled. I usually depend on my guess for the confession because it is really tricky to come up with one every single time. Okay, you go and then I'll go. All right, it's that time. It's that time. Okay. So, um, we're going to take it back to elementary school.

Ha ha, yes. Okay. Um, does everybody remember doodle pens? Yeah. Oh, I thought you just know what it was once I said doodle pens. Dudopins. So I used the doodle pen to doodle myself. And I, you know, you know what?

Like. Hey. Masturbation is healthy. Yes. It is. And importance. And I will stand by that. Oh, my God.

I love you. One, I agree. It's very healthy. And two, it's healthy to talk about. And three, a doodle pen? Thank you. Yeah. Hey, got the job done.

Oh, my gosh. Was it good? I mean, I think so. Ah. Wow. A doodle pen. Like on the board where you like doodle. No, the doodle pen that was like vibrate.

It's like the doodle pen. Sorry. I know that pen. Yeah, yeah. Oh. Yeah. You just like said it and I fucking. Yeah.

Oh. I don't know the judel pin. Right? The doodle pen. The judel pen should like be sold in adult stores also for her pleasure. Well, we bought one for our five year old and I like can't look at it. Wait, what? So you buy your fiber in the doodle pin, and do you look at it differently?

Yeah. Yeah. It makes me a little weird. That's amazing. Hey, if your child has a doodle pen and it's late at night and... Doodle it up, girlfriends. Doodle it up, girls. So many people are Googling doodle pin right now.

Doodle what you got to do? Amazon Prime. Doodle pin. Wait, say that again, Evan. Doodle what? I just said, doodle what you got to do. Doodle what you got to do. I am going to look into this.

Okay. I respect that confession. Thank you. Thank you. That's so good. Peter. I can't follow that up in an entertainment value. Okay. I'll give it a real value.

This is more real. I knew it's going to be sad. That's sad. No, but I like this. So can I just say before you do this, I love when people, use confessions to either tell something super embarrassing or super real. So I can tell we're getting real here and I can't wait to hear it. So I've actually, this is something I've never really

completely said public and I think this is such a great platform to do so. I have been taking pills since I was 20 to be able to deal with mental illness my entire life. Yeah, thank you. But I believe mental illness is a stigmata that is something that we so desperately need to talk about. And I, uh, I unfortunately only sing for a living, so all of my fans look at me as a product and not necessarily a person. So me speaking about me as a real human being is something I can't really do. And I feel like this is a setting you can. So I just want to say, I, I actually have been diagnosed as bipolar since I was 20. Um, and bipolar is like, oh my God, bipolar. It's crazy. You can kill everybody. Of course. Um,

But truthfully, it's, like, very similar to, like, diabetes in the form of, like, it's something that affects us physically. And, gosh, like, God forbid, we have a stomach, we have to work on it. But mental illness is something that affects us and is so incredibly important and so important for us to speak about and talk to one another about. And all I do, all I do is go twice a year to a psychologist and I take my medicine and I'm the best I can be. And there's like this. Thanks, guys. There's this, there's this, there's this, there's this, sigmata that, God, for a boobie, take a pill and it's going to change us. I'm like, no, guess what? I'm going to take something to fix a tiny little chemistry mess up in my head

so that I can be a freaking badass and support my family and run two companies and have millions of followers and sing dorky music online. But the most important thing is that you guys need to be able to speak about this to your family and your friends. So, yeah, Peter Hollins is bipolar, but Peter Hollins is Peter Hollins, and I take medicine to make myself better. But you know what? It's not a big deal. Thanks, guys. Thank you.

sharing that and and I mean how many people can relate to that which is crazy is that as soon as one person talks about it the more you realize you're not alone and that probably the majority of people can relate to that I too take medication for anxiety and depression and I have only done that for a few years but I'm I'm almost upset at myself for not doing it earlier because if you have cancer, you do chemo, if you have something, you work on whatever it is that can help you. Mental health is the most important thing to work on. So why would you not take something or do something that's going to balance out those imbalances and help you actually be the best version of yourself? And the second, I talked to my doctor about it,

He was like, he had him and his wife followed me and then go, he goes, you're just, you're going to be fine. You're everything that you are. And then for you to brush things off your shoulder that don't actually bother you, it's an imbalance. He goes, you are going to thrive. Amen. And it was that, it was the second I started taking something for that or, and we're not saying take something, whatever works for you, that works for you. It works for me, and the second I did that, I got out of an unhealthy relationship. I started building my businesses.

I started being more, like, in tune with my followers and appreciating more and just more grateful for everything. So thank you for sharing that, because I think confessions can be whatever you want them to be, and to share that message for so many people that it will, you know, speak to. I really appreciate that. Thank you. So important. It's so important. And, I mean, if you guys even know of the off the volume Facebook group, like, there's so many conversations in there about mental health, about sexuality, about anything that anyone is just free to talk about whatever they're feeling in that group.

And that's why I'm just so proud of all of the people that listen to this podcast and for being able to do these live podcasts. I will tour anywhere. I will do it for free. I don't care. I it's so nice to be like in an intimate setting with you guys and just like feel your energy and it's just really important it's really important i think all of us up on stage can probably at some point talk about mental health and and how it's affected us so nobody's along we'll be back with more off the vine with kately bristow

Now back to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. I feel like you should have got last Peter. Blake's, blakes confess some crazy things in his day. Yeah, I've confessed some shit on this podcast. Yeah. But I got like a, it's a confession, but it's a funny story. I was in Chicago like four or five years ago.

I don't remember when. A couple Chicagoans. Chicagoans? And so I didn't know bars were open to like four or five in the morning. there. Yeah, it's mind-blowing. And I remember I met a cute girl, got her number, came, got back to my place, the hotel at like, I don't know, 2 a.m.

And roughly, and I was like texting. I was like, you know, hey, girl, hey. Like, I was trying to flirt through text. Hey you up. Yeah, super awkward, but I kept texting her and she wasn't replying. So I was like, whatever, you know, I, a couple minutes before, I got back to my hotel and I, you know, ordered pizza. I ordered pizza. Um, and... Pizza! Pizza! Someone just started chanting pizza. So I ordered pizza. Um, kept texting this, like, after I ordered, I kept texting. And I was like, well, I, I was clearly misread this because she's not into me. She's not texting me. She's not texting me back. I was like, six or seven text messages deep at this point, free in the morning. Oh, Blake. Not a good look. Not, not a good look. So I woke up. And the confession there.

Enough said. I woke up, I woke up in the morning. And I just woke up to dot, dot, dot, epic fail, L.O. And I was like, I had been texting the pizza guy. I look back through my phone and I was like, oh, my God. Yeah. So I, yeah, I drunk sex at the pizza guy. That's amazing.

That's my first time of Chicago. Yeah. I'm trying to think of I've ever done. You should take you up on it. And we've become best friends. Does he know who you are? Yeah, never is best friends. That would have been a better show that.

That's amazing. What? Five years ago. You know, it's pre-batchel. Oh my God, you guys know his timeline. You're like, well, it wasn't stage coach. All right, let me ask you a question. Who doesn't want to find the best brands in all lifestyle categories

you really have this, like, connection with people where nobody else can relate to, so you can fight in them, you've become close with them, and it's just this whole thing. Like, I swore I would never date a bachelor guy again. Well, here I am.

It's just, it's a thing. And so for people to shit on Blake, and I mean, I know it's over now and whatever, and we're all moving on. But, like, to me, I was like, who cares? It was consensual. Everybody agreed.

Thank you, guys. Thank you, Caitlin. Everybody agreed. It was, actually more on the other end for some and he was just being a single dude living

his goddamn best life and stage coach and we all love like and everybody that watches the show can see like there's douchebags that come in and out of that show and there's assholes you can see in his eyes

that he was like Oh, like, what? What did I do? Like, he's, so I just, I mean, it's, at the end of the day, it's, um, it's Bachelor in Paradise and we all move on really quickly from everything. And next year it'll be some other situation. But like, come on. Come on. Thank you, guys. I love it. All right. You have no idea how much that means. Yeah. And I can't wait until you're out of contract so you can tell the truth. March 22nd you said Before we get into the scene I would like everybody to like The second you walk out this door

Go subscribe to Peter's YouTube channel Because I swear to God You have bad day It's like a meditation for me You put on his voice or his YouTube channel Incredible voice Incredible person What is the whole thing

Rate review do all the things he deserves it. He's amazing. Not that you need more, because he's killing him. Wow. Evan is writing her own musical with, with, you tell because you dove it on me. So did y'all like shy honey? Did you like shy honey? Yeah. Anna and I, Caitlin knows this, but Anna and I started writing a musical three years ago. It's, it's an actual, if you could tell the quick story about how you, um, what you're writing about because it's very powerful.

Oh, I mean, yeah, just years ago I sat down with a woman I knew and I asked if she had any other kids. And she kind of just shared her whole birth story, which is pretty insane. She thought she couldn't be pregnant, got pregnant at 25 weeks. She was having strokes and comas went into the hospital. She was in Guatemala at the time. Side note in Guatemala, stuck in a third world country,

and ended up having a C-section, no anesthesia. her daughter survives. It's like this unbelievable story. And this woman is telling me this. And I'm like, you have to write a book. You have to, you know, at the time I didn't. I've always been a musical theater person and a performer. But I would say it lived in my brain.

I told you this for like a year. And then I just said, I think we should tell this story. So I'm writing a story. It's called Milagro, which is, it takes place in Guatemala and the United States. So many Latinas or Latinx people in the audience. Yay, Latinas. So, you know, I think it's an understory. of community I've been bilingual my whole life and it just I sat down with Anna and was like do you want to

write the music to this musical and it was like this thing where she went to the piano and I was like yes everything yes everything you're writing so it's our you know we're in year four but we're really finding that it's like as just like follow the process and we're excited about it's just they're they're just incredible like very talented people that you just sit back and go you're you were born to do this. Like, well, it's fun to feel like, I mean, I'm 36 now, and I feel like, woo, 30s. You're great. By the way, I thought I was 36 all year, and then I turned 36. And I was like, I'm 36. Like, I thought I was 36 and then I was really 35. Sorry, whatever. You kind of forget after 30. You get, like, to a certain age. I was like, I'll never be so old that I'll forget

my age and I did. Anyway, but I feel like it's finally finding your project that's like, oh, this is my life's work. It's cool to feel them. Yeah. Yeah. Very, you're, you're both just so talented and so lovely. And before we get to them singing, I have to share my obsession with their child. You have to, give me the video. No, it's up there. Okay, I'm going, I'm going to run. I'm running. I'm running. Okay. I just can't explain this child's brain. Okay. He is, Five years old, going on 80, he is an old soul who has the best message to spread that you've ever heard in your life. Like, if you sit down with this child, you're like, I want to be a better person. Like, he is a sweet, sweet old soul, which says a lot about the parents.

He's really just, oh, wow, that was quick. How many parents? How many parents out here? Yeah. It's the hardest. you'll ever do. If you're not a parent, listen to the message that this child has. I want everybody to be super silent so you can just hear this message.

I don't know which one this is, but there's a few. Oh, I just muted it. Oh, I'm 36. I don't know how to use social media. Okay. Do you want me to do it? I do it. Oh, no.

Dear Heavenly Father, where is my son? Okay. I'll start it first. this is incredible i'm obsessed anybody has hate in their body keep it in if anybody has love in their body give it out and if you have hate in your body you try to make it into love and then just get out all that and then you start a new family in your heart and then that makes love and then you give out the love and then make a new family and then give out the love and that's how the circle of life of humans. That's the circle of life of humans. There's one more.

The circle of life with humans. This is the best because this is him literally just talk. Was it? And I think my dad chose a wonderful wife. And I think my dad chose a wonderful wife. And I think my I think my mom does a wonderful husband, and I think they make perfectly good sense together. And I think they make love a lot, and they do not make any hate them, have no consequences, and I think they never lie. they make love a lot and I think they never lie and my dad picked a wonderful wife and my mom chose a wonderful husband we have no consequences that was the one part I didn't know where that came from and I'm not kidding that's just his brain works in a way where he's just like how do we spread more love and less hate yeah the making love a lot is not correct he just meant to like make love love yeah it's but that's also

great idea. Yeah, let's try it. More babies. But also make a lot of love. Thank you guys so much. Before we get into, you guys are going to do your thing, but just where can people find you?
