I'm like no I'm gonna let you change You know what I actually don't like roses either Oh Yeah I didn't pick it because I like the flower I picked it because my grandmom's name is Rose Oh cool Yeah and I was like Okay that's way cooler

Yeah And I like that you do it with a Z Yeah In Canada we call it a Zed A Z yeah I like that It's weird isn't it Yeah it's very weird

Zed But yeah you do it with a Z It's very edgy Like Z you know, the DJ? Like, would he be named Z here? Yes. Actually, that's a great point.

Us Canadians, like, I was wearing a robe the other day, and I was like, oh, I love my new housecoat. And Sean was like, what? And I'm like, a housecoat. He's like, a house coat? I'm like, yeah. Apparently, in the States, nobody calls it a house coat. No, never.

I've never heard that before. That's so funny. It sounds like you were walking around in a raincoat. But it's a house coat. It's a robe. Yeah, there's a robe. Well, there you got another weird thing. us Canadians we are wacky

wacky characters you zeds wait I'm going to take this one step further okay Laurel or Yanny I heard both I heard Yanny I want to hear both so badly you have to like you have to like raise it

it depends on like the frequency so like if you hold it up to the ceiling you might hear it differently stop I want to try it right now but the thing is I was having a really hard time last night finding finding the because now everyone

like I can't even find it Instagram anymore. Now it's like all these other sayings like, what do you hear? And it's like yogurt or like something like I couldn't find it. I'm from Philly and there's one circulating that's like, what do you hear? It's like Eagles. Eagles. What? Really? Yeah. What the heck. Okay, wait. Let me go back and see if, because I know I was Googling this last night. Oh, I think I found it. Oh, I think I found it. 100%. Yeah, 100%. I hear you. You hear Laura? Yeah. Seriously. I hear a Yanny. What did you hear? What did you hear? Dang.

I really just wanted it to keep playing the... I hear Yanny. Like, that's it. Oh, wait. Maybe this is it. No. See, this is what I mean. I can't just find any...

Oh. Now it sounds like porn music. No, okay, fine. Yanny. Was that you? Yeah. So, here's my question. When I say Yanny or Laurel...

When I say this? Yanny. Do you hear Ler? Laurel? Yes. Oh. Again. It all makes sense now.

I cannot. I want to so badly hear Laurel for once just to like hear what it sounds like, but it blows my mind. I know it's like a different. It's just like Laurel. Yeah. Is that what it sounds like? Exactly.

And Yanny sounds like Yanny. Yeah. It's like robotic. It all sounds like scary. Scary. Yeah. It freaks me out though, but I guess it's like what your brain hears different frequencies. So does that mean we like hear people differently?

I don't get it. I don't know. I don't know. As a musician, I was freaking out. because I was like, I'm going deaf. Like, I don't know what to do. I can't hear anything. And then you're like, what if I think I sound good?

And other people are like, I hear her saying other lyrics and different pitches. Exactly. Yeah, you must really question. I should say Laureliani in one of my songs and see what people say. You should. The lyric is. In the, like, genius. In the right tone.

Yeah. Am I making sense? Probably not. Yeah. You're making sense. Yanny, Laurel, Laurel, Yanny. Tomato, tomato, potato, potato, abiza, Ibiza. Ibiza.

How do you guys actually say it? I feel silly to pronounce Abiza like the locals when it is definitely not my native language, although I wish it was. But speaking of Abiza, there is a new Netflix original movie called Abiza. I think you guys heard me talking about it last week, but it comes out May 25th on Netflix. I highly recommend going right now and watching the trailer for it because I was laughing out loud what the kids call LOL. There's actually this one part where she, like, gets excited and jumps on the bed and the bed splits in half. And I actually did that when I was in Europe. I jumped on the bed, getting all excited.

And in Europe, I don't know why they do this, but they just have two beds pushed together. That makes a queen bed. Anyways, I really related to that. It stars Gillian Jacobs as Harper, who goes to Spain on a work trip, that her best friends, played by Vanessa Bear and Phoebe Robinson, tag along. Vanessa Bear, you guys. She is hilarious from SNL. While in Barcelona, Harper meets this really hot EDM DJ played by Richard Madden. And she totally falls for him, which reminds me of a girl's trip I went on 10 years ago to Jamaica. I was with like five single girls and two of them fell in love with DJs. And when I was watching the trailer for this movie, I was like, did they hear this story and create this movie off my life? one of my girlfriends actually still talks to the one guy, but whatever, I'm not naming names. It's kind of funny. But what I'm getting at is girls' trips are always great, and the only thing is funny as

spending time with your girlfriends is watching the Netflix original movie Ibiza. Movie touches themes we can all relate to as women, like balancing a career, relationships, love life. So mark your calendar and get all your girlfriends over and watch Netflix original movie Abiza coming out May 25th, maybe we can get together on the Off the Vine Facebook group and we could set a record for the world's largest slumber party and we can all start watching it at the same time together across the whole world. Oh my gosh, that sounds nice. I like it. Do you have wine in your cup? I poured you wine, right? Yeah, okay. There's definitely wine here.

Okay, good. I mean, it's 11 a.m. on a Saturday, but it's the weekend. Let's get crazy. Okay, I heard you're a big bachelor fan, are you? Is that true? Huge bachelor fan. Oh, okay. Now before I ask you all the questions, do you have any questions for me? Like why we don't eat on dates? Don't get me started. Wait, actually, I heard you don't eat on dates because you can't hear the chewing, right? Which I'm all right with that because I can't take chewing. Like, you have mesophonia. Yes. Yeah. Like, I would literally get enraged. Yes. Yeah. There's so many. I've like, I've talked about this on, I don't know how many podcasts I've done, but like 90% of my podcasts, I talk at least once about misophonia because it's such a. I've like, I've talked about misophonia. Because it's such a. I've talked about. strong like yeah strong what am I trying to say like emotion yeah it's like a rage and so I've talked about it on so many podcasts but that's funny okay you have it too so many people have this wow okay interesting because everybody in my family makes me feel like I'm crazy oh and my mom's like you're just overreacting oh and I'm like no mom I will puke on you you're like that's because I have overrease and we overreact yeah okay get you to it that's great I love that

I'm not going to lie, I stole that from Simpsons or Family Guy? Oh, it was Family Guy. That's a good one. Yeah. It's kind of my guilty pleasure. I watch it like every night to fall asleep. Okay, your big bachelor fan. Who's your favorite bachelor?

I think that Juan Pablo was the funniest. Shut your mouth. He was so funny. Juan Pablo was your favorite bachelor? Because he was funny. Like I couldn't take him seriously. Like, ha-ha funny or like? No, like you're not a real.

person kind of thing you know what i mean i kind of like that you're the only person in the whole entire universe that says one paul is your favorite but yes i mean like he is a complete dick but that's what made it funny to me because they were like you need to stop saying it's okay it's okay and he's like all right it's okay and he's yeah oh that's true i was like that was amazing that's funny that you say that because maybe people are just afraid to say he's their favorite bachelor but he is it i've never met him so i can't say he is a dick but I mean I've heard and I have some pretty reliable sources in the bachelor world that he's not the best human I could imagine I don't need how old is he do we know I'm going to guess 30 something yeah very very good guess anyway okay who's your favorite

bachelorette you obviously I mean let's be real also you were hilarious imagine you said someone else I'd be like oh shit you were still haunting me with roses Becca and she didn't even start her season yeah hey a lot of people are saying that they're like Becca's my new favorite I'm like you haven't even watched yet yeah that make me feel bad oh my god I'm excited um yeah I'm actually excited to watch too one because I do really like her and two because it gives me a lot of podcasting content from my great therapy episodes yeah yeah okay so did you watch the royal wedding uh I slept through it yeah me too yeah I was really really hoping you were going to say well i youtubeed it you did yeah it's already on youtube yeah yep oh i guess

so yeah i like sped up till when she was walking down just i needed to see if her dad was walking or not which he was not right i don't know it was some old guy i'm not sure who it was row row it was it was prince charles no it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't oh shit it was i'm pretty sure it was he's like i was like who's that guy her dad is pretty old oh my god that's amazing. I love that way. I'm like, now I'm like, how old are you? 25. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, you're young. You're not young, but you're like young. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't watch either, but I woke up at seven, which is super early for me. And I threw it on. I love Megan Markle. But then I'm like, who doesn't? Like, is there anyone out there? And then I was like looking at all the Twitter because you know you expect trolls to be on Twitter and you expect people to be just like saying everyone was just so happy for them. It was really sweet. That's nice. It was a sweet moment for the internet. I saw even, like, Chloe Kardashian, like, was filming it on her Insta story.

Really? Yeah. Oh, I stopped following her on Instagram. I did. Why? The Kardashians are just too much for me. They, like, make me feel like crap about my life, and I've got a great life. I follow them and I'm like, I'm not good enough.

That's true. Like, I'll watch and I'll be like, wow, I need to go work out now. Yeah, that's, I need to work out. I need to, like, have professionals do my hair and makeup every day. Yeah. I need to, like, get some butt implants. Like, it makes me just want to, like, rethink my whole life. So I did the, I did the right thing and I unfollowed the Kardashians, yeah, for my mental health.

I feel like I should do that. You should. It's a little cleanup of the Instagram. Yeah, spring cleaning. Spring cleaning. It's a great idea. Yeah, Royal Wedding. All my girlfriends were, like, we're having a viewing party.

One of my girlfriends was like, I do you want to come over when it's a pajama party. My mom, like, went to this, like, viewing party, which at her time, it's like 5 a.m. for her. And she had, like, white gloves and they, like, did this tea party. And I'm like, I'm like, do they wear hats? Yeah, oh, yeah, it would be rude if they didn't. You have to wear hats. I was like, hey, I went to the derby. So I had a leftover giant hat.

I was like, why wasn't I invited to the royal wedding? Why that? So weird, actually. One of my girlfriends, she was, I was just in Jamaica with her. I shouldn't say girlfriend. We just like know each other and she works in PR and she did some stuff with me in Jamaica. And she was there. She's like, what?

I thought we were friends. Well, we, okay, I shouldn't say that. We are friends. friends. We just were like Instagram friends. And then we were in Jamaica together and she does like bridal. Her name is Jessica Mulroney. And she was, anyway, we were having like dinner or something with her. And she goes, oh yeah, Megan Markle is like one of my best friends. And in my head I'm going, yeah, right. I'm sure a lot of people say that, well, there she was at the wedding. Her daughter was a flower girl. Her daughter was a flower girl. And it's like pictures of like her and Kate Middleton like walking their daughters up to be like, lot of girls. And I was like, oh, so you, like, legit are good friends with her? I wonder if any of her friends were, like, offended that they couldn't, like, be a bridesmaid? Probably. Did she

have bridesmaids? Like, I'd be like, if I can't give a speech. Yeah. Yeah. Do they have bridesma? No, she, they said like she didn't have any bridesmaids. They were all just, like, the kids of something. Interesting. Yeah. It was so crazy. I was like, we're just watching history, you know? Yeah. I was like, what did they rip her veil? Because I saw them, like, holding her veil.

Yeah. That would have been great TV. They had a big job. Yeah, big job. Good job. Anyways, that's all we can really say about the royal wedding, because I don't know anything else. I have to tell you, I always tell people that I'm going to pump their tires for a second. I'm going to pump your tires for a second. Your voice is what dreams are made of. Oh, thank you.

I've always loved, like, EDM music with, I'm always jealous of the female vocals in songs because I just feel like there's something, like, so sexy and soothing about, like, their voices. I always wish I could do it. But not only are you an EDM queen. you're a badass songwriter that's why you're Nashville right yes well I mean thank you but yes that is why I'm in Nashville

are you doing like writing and recording and doing the whole thing yeah I came to the right place yes I love it here I'm doing a lot of writing for other artists here so it's gonna be oh that's cool yeah anyone that I would know are you allowed to say yeah no I don't think so but it is really cool I mean it's fun

and like yeah I'm excited yeah you've had some major success and like doing collaborations with, like, chain smokers, obviously. Okay, I have a question. How do you say this? Galantus. Galantus.

Oh, I did. Yeah, you're good. What was there, that one song? Girls on Boys. Oh, their other song, um, Runaway. That's what, that was before the song you did with them, right? Yeah. Yeah, because they, that, yeah, run away.

Or you and I. Oh. You and I, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah. Yeah, that one. And then you got to work with them and do the song with the girls on boys. On boys. So awesome. Yeah, crazy.

What other names? Big gigantic. Yeah, logic. Cash, cash. Cash, cash. Right? Am I nailing this? Yeah, you got this.

Or am I blowing it? You got it. But you've also, like, done so many of your own singles. Yeah. That's so cool. Like, you're 25 just killing the game. It's funny because, like, you say that, but, like, in my head, I'm like, I need to get better. Of course.

You know. That's what we all do. Yeah. Which is great because it gives you a little motivation and you're driven and you want to do better, but you need to give yourself credit. Exactly. Yeah. I know.

I need to try better. Do you ever just sit and thank yourself and, like, look in the mirror and be like, you rock. Mirror high five. I've never done that. Well, sometimes I'm like, hey, killing it. And you do a gun. Yeah, gun. Oh, nice.

Oh, that's cool. Yeah. But that's if I'm going out to, like, drink. Yeah, it's nothing to do with my. Nothing to do with performing. With my talent, anything. It's just if I look good, I'm going out to the bar. I'm like, you got this.

Exactly. That's funny. I'm going to try that. I always do mirror high five, so you should try that one. That's a good one. I'm going to do that. I'll steal yours. You can recycle.

of mine. Perfect. Now I've lost my notes, which is classic, Caitlin. Oh, that's what I want to know. Have you always been into music? Like, since you're a little, did you just, like, like, exit the womb singing? Yes, I'm pretty sure I can not singing. Really? Is it, is it in your family, or is it? It's, like, kind of in my family. I feel like that's a lot of musicians, like it's in the family. Yeah. Yeah. Like, my dad, he's like a guitarist and a singer and plays, like, a million instruments. And my mom, she's like a guitarist and a singer and she plays like a million. So, yes, it definitely is in the family. Neither of them are, like, professional musicians. But it's in the blood.

Yeah, it's in our blood. That's, like, me with golfing. Like, my dad is an unbelievable golfer, and I decided that it's in our blood because... Are you a good golfer? You know what? No. Oh, so it's not in your blood. That's great.

That's amazing. But when I first picked up a golf club, I was like, I don't know what I'm doing. And I, like, nailed the ball, and it was perfect, straight and true. And I was like, oh. But now... Oh, okay. But now I like now I tried too hard So now I suck

Because that's golf Oh beginner's luck But I really wish that Well you know what My grandpa was a musician And he had his own radio show It's in your blood It's in my blood

Back in the day He used to just play his own instruments On the radio like That's what they did live That's amazing So it's in my blood I love that Golfing in music

Yeah When I was like little We had to do this like class project In like third grade Yeah And they were like you need to pick a historic figure to be, right? Everybody's like, I'm going to be, like, Abraham Lincoln.

I, like, came in, I was like, I'm Paula Abdul. Stop. Paula Abdul, that's amazing. I put on, like, my jukebox and I was like, straight up now, tell me, do you you really want to love me forever? And, like, dancing to it. That's amazing. How old were you?

Like, third grade. Oh, that's incredible. And I wore, like, my dance outfit from, like, the previous year's, like, recital. And did people just live for it? People were just like, what is happening? Dude, does anyone have recordings of this? I don't know, but I need to, like, guys, anybody out there, if you have this, please give it to me. I mean, you're young enough.

It's probably on an iPhone, I cloud somewhere. It's got to be somewhere. I'm like, okay, you're not like 12. I was born in the thousands. Oh, weird. I didn't have to do. I wasn't. I really wasn't. What year were you born?

I can't do math. 93. Oh, my gosh. I was 85. 80s are starting to sound so old. No, 80s are, like, getting cool now. Oh, you think so? Yeah.

They were always cool. Yeah. 90s were the best years. Oh, yeah. I wish I was like a, I was alive and thriving for more of it. But, you know, just being a little fat baby. Yeah. You were a little fat baby.

You were just a fat baby. I didn't know anything. I was a fat baby with a mullet. It was awesome. That's amazing. I also love that people were saying that you're a major advocate for female empowerment, mental health awareness and spreading positivity. Yeah.

Has that always been in you too? or is this just something that like as you learn and go through life you kind of yeah i don't know i think i think when i started to realize i had a say yeah i was like wow i like i need to stand up for something and i was also like really bullied in school so i was like really yeah so it's like it was something that i like i like i started to realize like people relating to the things i was saying so i was like wow i could really be a spokesperson for this oh that's cool and so yeah i kind of just stepped into it oh does that have a lot to do with like your mindset when you do writing when you write songs. Yeah, exactly. Because, like, I was getting a lot of response, like, oh, wow, her lyrics

in this song. And it's like, well, I wrote that about, you know, bullying or my experience with this or that, my, you know, with my mental health. And then people started, like, relating. And I was like, wow, like, this is a real thing. Isn't it so crazy how many people can relate to situations that we think we're so alone in, like, there's so many times where I think I'm so alone. But that's because I think our generation's really great about having conversation and about talking about these things and relating with other people and supporting other people where before it was like you kind of just kept quiet and you kind of just didn't talk about it because you didn't want people to think that way about you where now you talk

about it and everyone's like thank you for talking about it me too yeah exactly yeah which is really great for musicians too because how many songs do singers songwriters do that's so personal to them and you feel so vulnerable writing it and singing it but now you're sharing it with so many people who can relate and it's yeah it's a beautiful time to be a musician you know I mean it always husband but it really is yeah I think that's a really cool thing to be able to do what you love and help people through music yeah I mean what a dream it is a dream it really is yeah think about it don't ever don't ever think you need to do better you are doing great thank you're welcome you too oh thanks changing the world one podcast at a time one drunk podcast at a time mirror hi-fi on that one

I did teach a lot of people. You know, I spread the word about the mirror high fives and all of my listeners now do that. This actually might be a friendly reminder. I think they've forgotten about it by now, but friendly reminder to give yourself a mere high five today. Now. Right now. Press pause on this podcast and go give yourself and see how good it feels. Yeah.

Do you want to go do it? We should do it. Okay. And we're back. Great mirror high five session. Don't you feel better now? So good. Anyways.

Okay. So I thought we would get to know. a little better. Do a little rapid foiego segment where I just fire off some questions. Cool. And you tell me the first thing that comes to the old mind. Uh-oh. All right. It's nothing. It's nothing deep and it's nothing crazy. That's what you say now. No politics,

no religion. Nothing crazy. Okay. If you could sing a duet with anyone in the world dead or alive, who would it be? Paula Abdul. Paula Abdul, obviously. I don't know. That's like a Tough one. Let's make Paula Abdul.

You're like, I don't want to say it because it's a possibility and now I'm scared. You know who mine would be? Who? Kurt Cobain. Oh, that's a good one. That's a really good one. Yeah. Just live for his voice.

Wow. Yeah. Maybe it would be Kings of Leon for me. Oh. Yeah. I don't usually do this. And you know what? I keep a douche jar for any time I say something really douchey.

It's in my podcast room at home. I have to put a dollar in. And I'm going to have to go home and put a dollar in right now because we, we, we, we, We were friends with Jared from Kings of Leon after we came off the show. And that guy is a firecracker. He was so funny and his wife was lovely. And we had, I don't even know if they're still married because we don't talk to them anymore. But this is my call-up.

He dropped our friendship so fast when the show was over. We're like, hey, bye. Kings of Leon, if that is, you're really. They're so rock and roll, though. You can almost see it like badass. Like, damn. I know. I was like, mm, touche deuché, touche.

Touche. Have you ever seen them live? Yes. Oh. So good. I have twice. They're amazing. Yeah.

That's a good one. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. I think so, too. If you had an envelope that told you the day you would die, would you open it? No, absolutely not. Me either.

No. Sean would. What? Yeah. He can't like, he can't like. He needs to know the end. He needs to know. Yeah.

Gotcha. I could never. Are you single? Taken? Or is it complicated? Taken. Oh. Yeah.

Okay. Tell me more. with my boyfriend for like three years oh nice yeah oh that's awesome is he in the music biz no he's actually a real estate agent oh that must be kind of nice yeah yeah it is nice it is nice because honestly i think if we if he was a musician we would have been broken up by now yeah 100% because i can't like take somebody's input on my stuff you know what i mean yeah like you don't know what you're talking about yeah you're like this comes from within me okay yeah that's that's a good point though that's no i um when sean and i came off the show we obviously were doing so much together as like

I mean, quote unquote, work. Right. But, like, having, you know, people knew us as Caitlin and Sean, Caitlin and just doing it. And now we've really, like, gone our own direction. And I think that brought us together even more just that we have our own things going on. Yeah. You have more to talk about at the end of the day, I feel like. Yeah, except for the fact that, no, we don't because he gets into bed and he falls asleep within two seconds.

And I'm like, cool, how's your day now? Goodbye. Men, they all do that, I feel like they're so good at falling asleep. I don't know why. I don't understand it I don't get it It's like oh don't like the TV's a little loud Okay it turned out

I was like you're gonna be asleep in like one minute Oh Sean won't even let me like He'll put on what he wants to watch And then I'm like you're gonna fall asleep in one second Can I put on like an episode of family guy And he's like no babe I don't want to hear that when I fall asleep Oh okay well then I'll watch your little documentary That I'm not into as you are sleeping

Yeah The perfect lullaby Yeah thanks And then I just sneak the remote anyways and he doesn't notice, whatever. Exactly. Whatever. Are you...

Oh, no, that was my last question. We just got into that. What if you asked it again? And I was like, I'm single. And then I'd be so confused. I feel like, Laurel, Annie? What is life? Yeah.

Who is your celebrity crush, if you have one? John Mayer. Oh, good one. Yeah. Absolutely. It has been since that was like 12. That's a good one. Yeah.

You didn't even hesitate. Nope. John Mayer is... I think he's like my hall pass. Yeah. We were talking to, Sean and I were talking about that last night, the hall pass thing. I'm like, I'm like, so hall passes are stupid, right? And I just, I wanted him to be like, yeah, and he did. So I was like, yeah, cool, okay. But mine is like, mine's Ellen DeGeneres. Oh, that's a good one. Thanks. Ellen's great. I really would take her as a hall pass over John Mayer. That's amazing. Yeah, that's love. I like that. That is real love. Yeah. What are you the most afraid of? Being alone. Yeah. Really? I'm getting deep on that one. Yeah. I think so. I think like I like I hate being by myself. Like I always like I'm like I like I like I like to talk to people. I like do. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Even driving by myself. I just can't. Really? See, I live for those moments of being alone. No. I hate it. So interesting. Yeah. That's any time like because I, it's hard to like, you know, relate to certain things like I'll talk to my sister and she'll be like, oh like I wish I had somebody for this. And I'm like, what? You don't need. anybody like I get all like power tripping on I'm like no you're fine by yourself and it sometimes you're more lonely in relationships than you are and I get that is true though that is true I just love my alone time I just like good company I do too yeah I will I understand the alone time I do like a lot like sometimes I'm like can you like go into a different room like I just need this second yeah you're just afraid of alone like on a bigger scale yeah I hear you I hear and most people are yeah yeah um what's your favorite swear word

I'm like, okay, that's cool. That is so Sean. And I will never understand it. I'm like, why do you torture yourself? Because at the end of the day, he's like, I'm exhausted. I woke up at 515. I'm like, well, you shouldn't. You don't have to.

That is Sean. I complained the other night. It was like one of our arguments. I was like, you're always so tired when you get to bed. And that's like our time to like, hey, let's talk about the day or let's have quality time. And I'm a night owl. And he's like, well, I'm exhausted. I get up before you.

I'm like, then don't. Yeah. You don't have to. You don't have to get up when the sun rises. You're choosing to like an absolute weirdo. Yes. I don't understand. So sunrise or sunset for me.

Coffee or wine or both. Oh, I would say both, you know, because I honestly have both in here. right now. Most people do. That's like, that is such a standard duo for me. What's your coffee order? Just regular coffee. No-uh. Yeah. Who does that? Wow. I don't know. I just do. Good for you. Yeah. Good for you. Way to be different.

Don't. Keep going. No, I'm the same way. Any Christmas movie, really, but the Grinch gives me every time. I'll watch it if it's not Christmas. I was about to agree. I was about to say, yeah, same. And then I was like, no, I can't.

I can't lie to you. I don't. That's crazy. Just kidding. It's not because I will watch Home Alone like any time of the year. Yeah, exactly. Like I saw The Grinch was on Netflix and I was like, oh, I'll watch this. Yeah.

What's number one on your bucket list? Oh, gosh. I think probably get a star in Hollywood. Yeah, that would be badass. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. Putting it out there, universe. Pick it up.

Pick it up. What about you? Oh. What do I want to do before I die? You know what the only thing that comes to my mind? this is so lame but like I just want to have kids oh yeah I like that I go back and forth though because I'm like so passionate about having a family like like I feel like that's what I was born to do right but I'm so scared yeah yeah with the world that we live in

but I talked to my um dad about this and he was like every generation says every generation is scared to have kids because of what the world seems like it's coming to you know that's every every person's fear I mean imagine like when during the depression yeah exactly are fine. Exactly. I'm like, but there's Snapchat. The real issues, Snapchat. I'm like, but there's filters and everyone's going to think that's what they need to look like.

I know, honestly, though. I heard that in the future that you will have lenses in your eyes that actually make you see in filters. No, I don't like that at all. That's like Black Mirror. Do you watch Black Mirror? That's exactly. Yeah. I'm afraid of that, like, stuff actually happening.

That's what black, that's, I get so much anxiety when I watch Black Mirror because it's, seems too real it's like this is going to happen one day have you seen the one where they like are you're rated above your head on like that's like that's like tinder i feel like and i'm like you're like you're already doing that on uber they give you ever many stars and then they like don't want to pick you up if you have like two stars i have anxiety i can't look what do you at i don't know i can't look oh yeah you just said that i looked once and i was like what is it out of five i think yeah i think i was like a 4.8 and i was like what did i do see i'm going to go check mine right now Because now I'm curious.

So what's, like, really bad blow a four? I would say so. Okay, here it goes. I am, I'm a 4.74. Okay, yeah. Is that good? Yeah, that's pretty good. Does anybody get a five?

But you have to, you have to, like, take into count, like, people, if you cancel a ride, I think that they can, like, rate you. You know what I mean? What do you mean? Like, if you, like, order an Uber and you cancel it, I think that they can, yeah. Oh, that's. Lame. Do you want some wine? Are you good?

It sounded like you were peeing. Oh, no. I wasn't. I swear I was going to go to the bathroom real quick. Really committing to sticking to this podcast. I just had to go to the bathroom. So, peed in a wine glass. Wait, this is classic, but what were we just saying?

Oh, Uber. Ratings. Because you can rate them too. So I feel like if you just give them a good rating, they'll rate you. I always give them a five. Oh, wait. I'm just like, but then do you tip? Because then now they can.

give you the option to tip and I'm like but I thought that was the whole reason for getting Uber so that it's cheaper than a cab and then you're now asking my boyfriend's like I always tip always tip you never know what someone's going through I'm like all right fine oh that's really sweet yeah dang I know and I said it like an evil person you never know you never know what somebody's going on oh my gosh um if you could wait is that my answer have kids no I need to do something crazier than that um like like for example the first thing that popped in my mind was going a hot air balloon ride but then I was like let's be real what do I want yeah I've done a hot air balloon it's pretty fun I actually want to have like an album what yeah well let's write one

okay let's do it for real yeah I would seriously yeah tease me I have a meeting after this with a producer and I'm going for it you should go for it okay let me know I'll help you just being roses right right in a track whatever I've been channeling it for so long because I've got father it's in your blood it's in my blood and the edm sexy voice yes but you know what the funny thing is to like reveal the behind the curtain with the sexy voice usually i'm like sweating in a vocal booth like this but it's like hotter and i like no no shoes on like i do right now oh i go get comfy i do that too and um and it's just it's really not sexy when i'm doing it but the sound i understand yeah yeah but i do like the messy behind the scenes yeah but you'll get to like when you listen to it a song you're gonna be like you're gonna be like remembering yourself like oh what a day like when I like when you like listen back yeah yeah it's gonna happen you gotta do it yeah you're gonna have a star and I'm gonna have an album perfect cool glad glad we discussed this um if you could spend a date in someone else's shoes who would you choose probably my dad paula abd oh paula abdul's a good one

your dad that's the sweetest my dad because he's like one of the smartest goofiest aloof but like genius guys I've ever met and I just need to know what goes on in his head. And like he's the kind of person that like he jokes so much you don't know what's real and what's not. Oh, I love that. And so like but even like if like we were driving, we go to North Carolina every summer for for vacation, right? And he like tours us around like how does he know these things? Like is he making it up? Like dad's right. They're so mysterious. Like I just need to stare at something in his shoes and be like, well, that lamp was made in 19. 83. You know what I mean? It's like he has Google in his brain. Yes. Yeah. He's got a Google chip. But who knows if it's real. Right. Oh, he could be just like the snap. It's like the snap. It's like the snaple cap. You never know. You never know. You got to look it up. Yeah. Google. That's really cute. I would actually too like to be in my dad's shoes because he's like the most calm. My dad's the most calm. Wow. Genuine, positive. Jim I've ever met. Like he's just so happy and and sweet. Yeah. It's like I'm like, I'm like,

I think a lot of dads are like, like, my dad could literally be yelled at all day, and he'll be like, well, you can't win them all. That's my dad. My dad, too. Oh, dads are awesome, aren't they? Yeah, they are. Moms are, too, but. Yeah, mom, yeah, you know, different.

Yeah, apples and oranges. Yeah, it is. Strange, strangest place you've ever done it. Oh, God. I love to ask you. I'm trying to think. We're there. I call you Roro.

you can tell me probably probably in like my like the childhood park that I grew up in oh it was strange yeah because I was like I feel like I'm like yeah it's you're like nostalgic I'm like disturbing my memories you know yeah it doesn't feel right it's like yeah yeah I get it I get it um if you had to describe yourself in three words what would they be oh god um humorous I don't know Outgoing, I guess And then, I don't know Free-Spirited, I guess

right no and she literally she like walks to work every day she's like laughing out loud listening to this podcast oh gosh that makes me so happy I feel like I was put on this earth for two reasons to have a family and to make people laugh. Like I really believe. That's great. And people like with comedians, no, did I just refer to myself as a comedian?

You sure did. I don't mean that. But like people always think comedians are so dark and that they like, you know, they think that their humor is like a. Yeah. What is that word I'm looking for? Like a, help me out, Jonathan. Defense mechanism? Yes.

Thank you. It's really not that. hard to think of Caitlin it's people think it's a defense mechanism it's not for me like everyone just thinks like oh you're being funny because you don't want to feel these things and I'm like I'm just funny yeah okay yeah I thought I think I'm funny but then I go on um no it's on my own show who I who did I oh um Mamry heart and Grace Helbig they are two hilarious females you know they are yeah oh my and I'm like I'm not funny at all no you are funny don't say that they are funny though they're like professionally yeah like do you ever meet someone and

Because I know you're going to turn it on me. I am going to turn it on you. Oh, what's that girl's name? I feel like Zoe DeCineau would be a good one.

I love her. Yeah. I love Zoe. Because she's like, she's like goofy and funny. She's very quirky. Yeah, exactly. That's another word I would use to describe me. That is a good one.

Very quirky. Yeah. I was Leslie Mann. Okay. That's a good one. I love her. Yeah. Because she's like, she's quirky funny too, but she's also like.

Like a little ditsy? Okay. Yeah. Am I ditsy? No. No, I'm not. I don't know why I just said that. And that is how you play rapid foiego.

I meant to do that earlier, but I have, I feel like I have a lot of confessions. Oh, well, this is like we are in the booth. We're in the confession. You're going to forgive my sentence.

So my fiance's name obviously is Sean Booth, so we call it the Confession Booth. Oh, my God. Good, right? That's great. I love that. That is a good one. So Confession Booth time. Like I said earlier before we were recording, that it's hard for me to come up with one.

And so I sometimes take it to Twitter or my off the vine podcast, Instagram or Facebook, whatever. So we were going through them earlier, and this one's pretty funny. Confession booth, she said. Every night I tell my husband I'm putting the baby to bed and pretend she's just taking a long time to fall asleep, but really I'm watching TV and eating snacks. I just don't want to go out there and do dishes. And then she was like, cute podcast room, by the way. Oh, also, I sometimes flick my boogers on the ground because I know I'll vacuum tomorrow. And that just sold it for me.

The first one I was like, the first one I'm like, ha, that's funny. And then she sold it with the flick and her boogers. Also, by the way, in Canada, we say boogers. Yeah, I was like, what are you talking about? Got it. Housecoats and boogers. And you guys say robes and boogers. And Z and Z.

Yeah. But yeah, that's, so that's, did I say her name even? I don't remember. Linz, I hope, Lynn's, I hope your husband doesn't listen, but Lynn's doiron. I don't know if I'm saying that right. Well, if he's listening, maybe he won't even know. Yeah, because I just haven't butchered her name. That ain't my wife.

That's, okay, that could be a confession of mine. Does anybody else just use underneath their driver's seat and their Jeep for a booger graveyard? Oh, yeah. Everybody has a booger graveyard. Yeah, definitely. Under the seat. Yeah. When I first got the Jeep, I'm like, I won't.

Yeah. I do. First got your car, you're like, number one rule, do not flick the boogers. No tooting and no flicking the boogs. no tooth and no boogs zone and now I'm like like it you I'm gross go on with your confessions please make me look better I probably well well okay so I'm gonna start with I guess yes this one um in high school I had this like elephant weed bowl amazing and I'm wearing an elephant t-shirt I love elephants okay me too me too and um my parents were away and I just had it out on the kitchen table and they come home my dad's like

look at this beautiful ancient artifact I was like I had to go along with it I was like yeah yeah found this in the Goodwill's shop and he's like oh this is great we should put this on display so it was like in my house like out that's amazing for like a mom a bong

yeah or what is it it was just like a bolt yeah yeah yeah same thing and does he know now no oh I guess he will know but will he listen to this I don't know maybe I mean you started I'm sure my mom's gonna go we gotta listen to this jam Is that what your mom sounds like?

Yes. That's a way. Well, you did pump your dad's tires and you said he's a very genius. Yeah. Exactly. So now, and you know, we're, you've proven yourself. Yeah. You know, you're good.

I think so. You didn't end up on the street. So we're cool here. Yeah, we're good. I grew up. I'm good. Yeah. That's funny.

Yeah. That's a good one. Wait, you said you had more, though. Oh, I do. Okay. Also, one time, like, so I, so I, I, I don't know where we were driving, but for some reason, there were no bathrooms. I was, like, younger, like, maybe, like, 12 or something.

Yeah. And it's, like, in my mom's minivan with all my brother's friends and my mom's driving, I'm like, mom, I have to pee, I have to pee. And she's like, no, we're not stopping. Like, we can't stop. I think she was running out of gas, was the issue. She's like, we need to find a gas station. And so I was like, I'm going to pee my pants.

And she's like, there's a plastic bag in the back. Go pee in the back. And so, like, I literally, I had to pee in, like, a grocery bag somehow. And you did it. I did it. and it just stunk the whole car up like pee the whole time well yeah that's I mean with my brother's cute friends of course no yeah so it was terrible it was a terrible experience did you say how old you were did I black out already 12 and I went in like the trunk to pee I love it though it's like so

funny because you just like sometimes your parents are just like do it you got to do yeah like you know my mom's like just go back there and pee that's like right out of like um what's that movie it's like Christmas movie with I always look at Jonathan we love Christmas movies in here. What's the one with, um, uh, God, now I'm blanking on his name. The, you know, the, like, really famous Christmas movie. White Christmas? No.

Uh, Christmas story? Christmas Carol? No. No, it's like a funny family and the dad's, like, a mess. Christmas with the cranks? Christmas vacation. Christmas vacation. Who's the dad?

Chevy Chase. I feel like that's... My dad is Chevy Chase. No. To put a picture to it. My dad is... But, like, um, actor Chevy Chase. because Chabby Chase in real life is a huge dick.

No, like actor. Yeah, definitely actor. I feel like that's something that they would do on the road, you know? Yes, definitely. Wow, that took a long time to get there and to get to my point. But we did it. We got there. Yeah, we got there.

That's really funny. I feel like I've got, like, so many P confessions that I, like, don't even know what to do with myself. Yeah, I mean. Yeah. Okay, you have new music coming out, right? This summer? Yes, this summer. Well, I have, like, an EP I'm working on.

Yeah. I have some, like, new music coming up with some people that people like. Oh, well, that's exciting. Okay. I wish you could, like, announce it. I could be like, she told us on off the fine. But I get it. I get it.

Your publicist is sitting out there listening to everything. She's like, what song's being released? She's like, why don't you tell me anything? What's the song that's out right now? I love it. The pink cassette. I'm blanking. Oh, where would we be?

Yes. I love it. I listened to it all morning. Thank you. It's so good. And now I'm blanking on the guy that you did it with. Mickey Romero. Yes.

All good. Yeah. Huge. Yeah. It's a great song. Thank you. And what's going on with the Nintendo 64? Because I just live for the like cassette vibes and the Nintendo 64.

Yeah. I don't know. Like the song is like an actual memory for me. And like I, when I wrote it, I just kind of made this giant X. And like it's a compilation of all the people I was surrounded by in high school a little bit. And so in high school, we used to just go hang out in our friend Chris's basement and just play like Nintendo all the time. And so we were just wasting time. So I was just like, Mario Kart, of course.

The best. And like, and like Mario Party and things like that. So fun. Yeah. It's just like, I was like, I need to incorporate this somehow. Because this is like, like, when I write a song, it kind of like puts a stamp on time and then I can mail it and that's it. That's cool. I like that.

I needed to add that. Oh, that's really cool. I actually was going to get. I can't believe I didn't do it. There's so many tattoos I almost got that I'm like, wow, I probably wouldn't be where I am right now because I wouldn't have got on TV with these tattoos. Oh, my God. But I almost got a mixtape tattooed on my forearm that said mixtape 85, like the year I was born. That's amazing.

With like, you know the, like you came out like here's my mixtake. Yeah, yeah, here we go. Do you know that like the tape that comes out of the tape? Yeah. Yeah, that was going to be wrapped around my arm with a tattoo. Wow. I really was committed to this idea. Yeah.

Didn't happen. That and a butterfly too. Was there like an audition process for like the bachelor, bachelorette? where they like had to see what you looked like and everything yeah like you have to send in so many photos um and my girlfriend brey who comes on the podcast all the time she was so helpful and she really believed i was actually supposed to be on one pablo season but they didn't pick me glad you were it i know good thing i was on chrisall season yeah but for real because then i ended up finding shown through it but yeah um but yeah it was they actually wanted me to cover

up my tattoos on the show. Oh my God. Yeah. Like your two birds? Yeah. Why? Yeah. They wanted me to, because I think when they pick the Bachelorette, like they usually

pick like America's sweetheart and like, you know, the girl next door. And so I think they wanted to like clean up my edge a bit. They're like, could you take out your nose ring and cover up your tattoos? And I was like, absolutely not. And then they're like, can you cut your bangs a little? And I was like, no. But then we did anyways. And I cried for like eight hours.

But anyways. Oh, my God. Whatever. It's all worked out. I tried out for like American Idol or the voice or whatever. You did? And like I don't, well, I didn't get like on to the TV round. Like you have to have like a story, you know?

Oh, you're right. I didn't have a story. So I'm like, I'm like, I'm Amish. I grew up Amish. Like you made it up or did you? No, like I was just like thinking in my head like what could a good story be? I didn't have one. And I was like after the fact I was like I should have said I was Amish.

Isn't that funny? You really do need a good story. Yeah, I didn't have one. I was just like, America. But America needs to root for you. Exactly. You're like, I'm a privileged, pretty little girl. Ruth for me.

I had a lot of talent. I was bullied a little bit like everybody else. That's funny. They do always have a story. Yeah. Which is sad because, like, there are people out there with talent who don't have a story that need to be heard. Exactly. You know?

They're like, let's find the roughest around the edge of it. I'm like, I keep on and going back to Nintendo 64 because I'm like, did you even experience the real Nintendo? Like, duck hunt? Yeah. You did? Yeah, because I had... Why don't you keep acting like you're 12? Sorry.

You do, actually. I know, I'm really sorry. You were born in the 2000. No, I was the youngest in my family of all boys. Oh. So, like, out of cousins and everything, I only had me as a girl. Oh, yeah. So, like, I had, like, at my mom's side, they live there, they're the ones who live in Pennsylvania

where I grew up. And I had three... So it was like six boys, basically. Well, no, five. I had three older boy cousins and then two older brothers. Oh, wow. And so everything was just like, I'm going to be playing football and like all these things. So I did all those things with them, the duck hunt.

Oh, yeah, the duck. I remember they would never let me play it, but I would watch. You're like, I never experienced it, but I watched. You're going to lose the game. It's so funny. Like, I feel like any kind of game just like, actually I played games last night for Tron's birthday. We had like two friends over and we played games and it just like it jacks me up. Like I get jacked up and then I can't sleep.

you're like a child and speaking of not sleeping does your brain ever not shut off when you go to sleep i'll just like open my eyes to like stop a thought and be like okay back to sleep you're like can you not brain exactly which leads me into my next segment that's good right what a segue yeah thanks uh can you not uh can you not brain before bed have you ever heard the conier song um no don't don't remember what it's called but it goes poop de scoop oh yeah he's trolling us i think he is yeah no he is and he and we all downloaded it okay yeah i saw this like this like clip of him yeah at uh his concert and he just started doing like pooh and everybody was like going crazy

and then like hilarious yeah and then he like drops it and it's like poop de scoop and everybody's like i'm like he's trolling it's still king troll i think so too and it's because Chris Jenner's in his life she probably told him to do that you think so she is a marketing genius she's a genius so yes I do think she wrote poop it's like almost everything that comes out about that family I'm like planned

I know I'm like Tristan did not cheat yeah okay that's fake news and absolutely he just because that was days before Chloe had her baby how crazy is that everybody it's I honestly don't believe a lot of cards that's why I think she at least knew about it and they were like they were like okay you can release now

Yeah. Yeah, I agree. No, it's insane. Pretty messed up. Mom, step your game up. Yeah. Yeah. My mom's like, do what you love, sweetie. I'm like, no. Be a momager. No, my mom does try and be a momager, and she's probably listening to this being like, whee. Okay, so can you not poop-a-scoop song get stuck in my head right before I'm trying to fall asleep? Every time. I love that. Also, can you not just like, like, lay there and think about how I can't sleep when I'm trying to sleep. Like why, if I'm taking a nap, I'm out. If I'm, if I'm trying to fall asleep, what's your trick? Okay. So,

you have to do, like, you have to list, like, seven things you can feel right now. Like, I can feel the bed sheets. I can feel this. You usually can't make it to the other ones I'm going to explain, but yeah, so you do that, like, seven things I feel. And then you'll do, like, seven things I hear right now. Oh, you go through all the senses. Yeah. And then, like, you usually, you usually are focusing so hard on doing that. You just fall asleep. I feel like you're about to change a lot of lives. I hope I do. That's good.

Yeah. I'm like sometimes I throw on like the, what's the app? Calm. Oh, yeah. Or like Headspace? Yes, I love Headspace. That helps. Yeah.

But sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it keeps me awake. Yeah, because I'm like intrigued by what she has to say. And I'm like, well, where's this going? What's you going to say? That's funny. Yeah. Okay.

So five senses, seven things. Yeah. Okay. Boom. Um, can you not decide to think of something Sean did to me three months ago that upset me that I want to get mad about again? That's a good one. I'm like, hmm, remember that time he really hurt my feelings? I'm going to bring that up.

Now seems like a great time. Yeah. He needs to know. Yeah. He's snoring, but it seems like a great time. Thanks, brain. Yeah. And it's like, and then you get more mad because he's like, he doesn't even know.

He doesn't even care. He's snoring. He doesn't even, he knows I'm going to bed angry. Yeah. And he's just in a deep sleep, knowing I'm angry. Now I'm more angry, because he knows I'm angry and he's sleeping. Yep. And he did that thing three months ago.

That really wasn't all that bad, but I'm going to make it a big deal now. That was huge. Now I'm playing it up in my old head. Yeah. Do you have any candy nuts? I'm really putting you on the spot. I don't know if I really do. Well, you sound like you're a great sleeper.

You've got it all figured out. Well, I have to learn. I guess I have had to learn how to sleep on command almost. See, and then I'm like, can you not brain start being really creative when I'm falling to sleep? And I have all the way to write things down. Yeah. And then that keeps me up. I'm like, why am I creative now?

Or like, I'll have coffee in the morning and I'll be like, oh, I'm still tired. And then I'll have coffee in the afternoon and be like, why is then I wake? And then I'll have coffee and be like, well, it's not going to affect me when I go to bed. Yep. And then I get to bed. And I'm like, can you not? Yep. Now I'm like, bing.

Creative and awake. I was like, we have a TV in our room, but I'm like, can you not get intrigued in this, like, show that I put on to just fall asleep, too? I'll put on the office And I'm like, I love this episode And I'll stay up all night watching it I can't fall asleep I know I've seen it four times But I can't fall asleep now

Can I not? Oh my God That's funny Also can you not brain go super dark When I'm going to sleep Like I don't think about death Through my days But when I'm going to sleep

I'm like we could all die Yep Now like a meteor could hit us tonight Yeah And we're all toast You know Or it's like Or it's like

In my brain I'll be like like, oh my God, I didn't say good night. Oh, my God. He's not going to wake up. Yeah. Yeah. You think of every worst case scenario. Stop that. Stop. Yeah. No, I hear you. Brains are a freaky thing. Freaky thing. Wacky. Also, can you not make up diseases that I think I could possibly have? Oh, that's a good one. And then Google them. And then stay awake for an extra two hours. And then realize that you're dying tomorrow. Yeah. From a stub toe. Yeah. Death by a stub toe. I've got it. I've got it. I googled it. I've got all the symptoms.

I'm dead. Oh, gosh. That's amazing. I think that, I mean, that was a solid hour. Wow, really? Yeah. We did it. We did the damn thing.

Oh, no, I said it. Is that a thing around here? No. Why does everybody say that? Because, well, I know that Becca says it. I know, but I said it so many times, like, before in life and many people did. And now it's become her, like, slogan. I'm like, why didn't I get a slogan?

My slogan was like. What would yours have been? Or what was it? I forget. I didn't have one. Mine was like, hey, two bachelorets, which one will be a better wife?

Man, you decide because it's 2015 and that's what we're doing, apparently. I'm still better. Wait, I forgot about that, actually. Yeah, I didn't. Wow.

That sucked. Yeah. How did that even happen is the question? Because people care about ratings. I didn't like it, though. Nobody did. That's the thing is, like, they say that they're like caring about ratings,

but when they do all this stuff for ratings, like nobody likes it. I'm going to say it here, first, okay? The Bachelorette is about to start, and I know what they're going to do. What? They are going to make Becca the female empowerment model of the Bacheloretts because it's 2018, and they don't, the Bachelor franchise doesn't want to be criticized and ridiculed

for like, you know, it's 2018, why is, why are, why is women, like, why are we here? Like, why is one man dating all these women and aren't we above this? they're going to make her the like, you know, I'm strong and independent and I'm a woman. And I'm like, no, no, you can. No, I want her to have that. But I'm like, we were all like that. Yes. You just didn't edit it that way.

And we should all be like that. I was like when you were watching it back, did you watch it back? And like, were you ever like, why did they edit it like that? Yeah, of course. Of course. But were they ever like, you need to say this? Yeah. Rough.

Oh, yeah. Like, they will, because, and they'll convince you that it's a great idea because you've had two hours of sleep. And they're like, if you do say this, you can go to sleep. Oh, my God. But no, I mean. Yeah, I don't understand that. Yeah. One time, I will never forget this.

It was on The Bachelor when I was a contestant on The Bachelor. I did do six hours of pickups where you just sit there and they'll be like, okay, put on your dress from like night one. And we're going to talk about this moment. And they're like, okay, look into the camera and say, she took my shoes. And I'm like, what? Did somebody take my shoes? And they're like, and they're going, I don't know, did they? And I'm like, I mean, I don't know.

And I'm like, no, I don't want to say that. They're like, yeah, just say she. And I wouldn't say it because I was like, nobody took my shoes. Oh, my God. But after like a while, I'm like, okay, screwed. I'll just say it. Like, what do you want me to say? So they get you there.

Oh, my God. But I mean, it works. I mean, it's, they're good. It's a great TV show. Well, it's scary, though, because like, in, in media, like, your words can get so twisted and like people don't realize how in control and out of control you are you know what I mean that's even like you know clickbait like headlines oh yeah Sean did an interview the other day that they asked like about a wedding date for us and we never have one right and he was kind of like yeah

you know we're all on the same page we don't get pressure from our family we will get married when we want to get married blah blah and the headline was like Sean agrees to postpone the wedding with Caitlin. Oh, my God. And we're like, oh, okay, is that what you want to do for ClickBake? Whatever, whatever promotes our stuff. Cool. People click on it. Great. It's going to be like the royal wedding. We'll like try and make it.

People will be like we don't care that much, Caitlin. I'll like put it at like in the middle of the night just to see you. Live on CNN. Yeah.

A couple of people had questions on Facebook for you that were actually really great. And I'm trying to find for you. I'm trying to find where I wrote it because now it was a while back this morning and I don't understand Facebook. Is that weird? I like somehow have the best Facebook feed because I've like unfriended people and so now it's just all memes. Oh my gosh.

was just scrolling and somebody said confession booth one of my favorite oh pastimes is to have my dog lick me okay that's all i wanted to say i'm just not going to look into that one i don't understand i'm not going to look into that one no it's going to keep me awake um can you not can you not person who just made me like yeah now i'm disturbed let me just refresh this page one more time because i really want there's a couple questions so i was like wow that's those are good i know one girl wanted to know what it was like working with the chain smokers. I love this question.

I'm sure it's like a can you not every question you've ever been asked ever. Yeah. I mean, honestly, it was great. I don't have any juice. Like they are Is that what people want juice? I don't know. I mean, when I worked with them, they were humans. They were just human.

They're just musicians who are talented. They're human beings. It was great. It was fun. We ate Chinese food. I think Drew farted once Like I don't There you go And that's all people want to hear Isn't that crazy? Like Sean and I were laughing

About the Royal Wedding this morning too We're like this is bizarre How much people care about other people's relationships Or like other people And and like It's Megan Markle right She was a hallmark actress And it's like this big like fairy tale story

And they're like Oh did you hear what she said in this? She said we and not her oh my gosh And they're like dissecting each thing And I'm like that's so so bizarre to me that people care this much, which... But it's funny because, like, even, you know, even though knowing that, like, sometimes they get sucked in, you know?

Oh, 100%. But, like, also, I feel like a lot of times I'm stuck with questions, like, what do you think about the chain smoker saying, blah, blah, blah, and it's like, I don't have an opinion. You're like, that's what they said, not me. They are human and sometimes they say stuff that gets twisted. Yeah. Like, I don't know. It's a weird world.

We all live. Especially with social media, too. like it just goes viral um okay so this question was um sweet kately kozel what's something you can do each day to rework your brain to see your body in a positive way um i've seen a lot of people doing like positivity sticky notes on their mirror yeah yeah i do things like that and also um one of my favorite things to do and this is so basic of me is i scroll through body body positivity quotes on Pinterest and it's like you start to see like I think knowing that you're not the only person struggling with your body image is kind of like you get you know like it makes you feel better yeah

and then you're like oh wait I'm being way too hard on myself because then you see other people who you think are so beautiful and you're like how are you hard on yourself and you don't see yourself like other people see you yeah exactly like when you look at someone and you think wow they look so pretty they're probably looking at you saying the same 100% all the time you know that's there's this video on YouTube where um they'll come in in and there's a sheet in the middle and there's an artist on one side and you're on the other side and these women will describe themselves to the artist and the artist will paint what he's getting from them and then they'll get people to come in who have just met these people

and they'll get them to describe them and they're like 10 years younger because other people see you as this beautiful human being and you don't see that in yourself and it's like a really wild video you should check it up yeah I'll send you a link but it's I mean I just bald my eyes when I watch it because I'm like, that is deep and so true and like wild and sad but but beautiful at the same time because it's like, wow, other people don't or other people see what I don't. I think like you have to consciously tell yourself like you have to consciously stop bad thoughts honestly.

You really do. You can't let like your perception of yourself create a story that isn't true. That is one thing that's actually helped me in the past. Was it my therapist? No. I'm like, was it my therapist or my life coach? My health and wellness coach, Aaron Trillor, told me to actually say out loud, stop. Yeah. And I'll do that.

I'll like, I have this note on my mirror that says, if you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. And I'll like say something like, something stupid, right? Like, I'll be like, oh gosh, I've been working out so hard and I've got this little like roll. And then I'm like, stop. Yeah. I'll just like look at myself and be like, really? Yeah. And I just switch gears.

Like, you just have to do that and train your mind to do. you do that. Kristen Nye says, I feel like there's a lot of corruption in the music industry, like Kesha's story, for example, how do you make sure to stay true to yourself and follow your success without scummy people dragging you down? Oh, gosh. I mean, obviously in situations like Kesha, she put a lot of trust in this person, there's no way to predict the future. So I don't know that there's a way to avoid it, but you kind of have to keep your eye out and you have to surround yourself with a with a good team that

can also have eyes on all sides you know yeah you um it's just like it's it's hard to trust people in the industry but when you have when you surround yourself with people that you trust it makes it easier of course and i feel like that goes for a lot of things in life too right not just the music industry and i think also to accept the fact that no matter what you're going to face something that you don't like yes always and it's just about how and then you cross the that bridge when you get to it. Don't worry about it and deal with it when it gets there. Amber Kroll, what has been the most unexpected or surprising thing since entering the music industry?

Oh, gosh. Probably working with the chain smokers. Yeah. I mean, I kind of like, I was like, I was going to nursing school. And I literally, yeah, I like had no. I mean, I obviously wanted to be a musician and I was writing on the side, but somehow they found this SoundCloud song of me. And they were like, we, like, slid into the DM. and they were like, we would love to work with you.

And I was like, well, I had no idea the storm it was going to bring. Wow. Yeah. Good for you. Crazy. That's, you know, good things happen to good people. I thought it said Whitney. Whitley.

Two questions. How did you decide your musician name? We already said that. It's your grandmother's name. Right. And two, what is something small that you do daily or weekly or monthly to keep your feminist spirit alive i often go in waves of raising awareness and i want to be more involved on a regular basis oh gosh um i i in philly i like to look up marches and they they usually have them a lot

and um one of my best friends is also um very heavy into feminism and um girl power so you know keeping the conversation with alive with your friends also really helps and like making a plan and I have like a fan, I have like a street club, like a fan group, you know, and then, you know, we do deal with issues like that too. So just talking about it. That's cool. I like that about my Facebook group is that there's a lot of female empowerment going on in this little space where the internet obviously can be a nasty place. But at Lee Matthews, how do you deal with pressures to have a perfect body? What are some tips you use yourself? bottles of wine positive

is it mantras or mantras mantra mantra but you're from Canada yeah exactly I probably say mantra and saying F the haters how do I do that oh gosh how do you deal with it oh how do I deal with it I mean honestly I struggle like everybody else does

you know like we were just saying we stare in the mirror and say ridiculous things to ourselves and I've heard something where it's like don't say something to yourself that you wouldn't say to your friends and um i like that a lot obviously it's hard it's easier said than done and um of course when you read like instagram comments and stuff it gets even worse so i try to stay away from that kind of stuff but i say like honestly just put yourself out there and like push the limits a little bit do a little exposure therapy on yourself and like post a selfie and you'll

get that positive feedback that you're looking i mean you know not to say like you need validation or anything no just to do it for yourself do it for yourself whether you have five followers, 100 followers, 500. Yeah. You got this. I hear you. I like that. Push the limits.

You got it. You got it. Thank you so much for coming on the podcast and good luck with all of your writing. And I can't wait to hear who you're doing big things with and your new music.
