Thanks for tuning in for another episode of Off the Vine. But before I opened my bottle of wine, I wanted to let you in on a little secret to find a chocolate bar that tastes good, but is actually like really truly good for you. Eating evolved chocolate is paleo-keto, vegan-friendly, organic certified, fair trade certified, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, and made with organic coconut sugar instead of cane sugar, one of the only brands that does this. Because to them, chocolate is food and not candy, and now I tell Sean B. that all the time, because I had a couple for lunch yesterday,
Starting point is 00:02:08 if I'm being honest. Eating Evolved also created the world's first coconut butter cup, so they're basically like the adult version of the Rhes instead of sugary peanut butter. They use real organic coconut butter for the filling, and yes, eating evolved ships to my fellow Canadians from their website. There's no excuse not to try it, eh? I worked with Eating Evolve to make my very own Bristow bar. Use coupon code Vine for a free Bristow bar, a yummy caramel milk chocolate bar that you won't stop eating.
Starting point is 00:02:36 For your free Bristow bar, order and EatingEvolve.com with coupon code Vine. The following program is a podcast.1.com presentation. Okay, are you ready to shake things up? Yes, I am. Well, Caitlin Bristow is creating a space where girls and gents. feel empowered to be themselves because there's more to like than instagram right what's that supposed to mean welcome to off the vine with kately bristow now here's kately okay hello friends welcome to off the vine with me kately kathlin boostow i'm gonna say boothstow did i almost say boothstow that's our like
Starting point is 00:03:15 weird like couple paired name like rangalina we're the booth stoes and i almost said i almost introduced myself as Caitlin Bustow. Shwopsies. I haven't even started drinking yet. I haven't even started drinking. Cheers. We're both drinking in the studio today. I've got my special guest.
Starting point is 00:03:32 We will get to her, but for now we're just going to sit here and drink, which is what we're good at. Oh. Ah, it's good stuff. It's good stuff. I can't believe I just introduce myself as Caitlin Bustow. I wonder if Sean would be down to legally change our last name to Bustow when we got married.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I would totally, but I mean. You think he would? You put a ring on it. That's true. Why not? I bet you would. I feel like I'm a bit of a feminist, but when it comes to stuff, like, I find it romantic to take your man's last name. I feel like it's like old school.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Romantic. I mean, it would depend on the last name. Like, if his last name was like, Baitland, I'd probably just stick with Caitlin Bristow. I'd probably just stick with Bristow. That's like the girl in Hope floats, the little girl. What is her name? It's like Bernice Pertice or something. Or like Julia Goose.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Julia from wedding singer. Yeah, Caitlin Batel. Booth is solid, though. I remember Sean wrote me a note on the show because we, like, obviously don't get to know each other that well. And he wrote me a note and he signed it at the end. He's like, my favorite Ninja Turtles this and blah, blah, love Sean Booth. And then he goes, oh, by the way, that's my last name. And I was like, oh, yeah, I guess I don't know your last name. I thought it was just Sean B forever, which it kind of is.
Starting point is 00:04:46 But speaking of Sean B., did you hear what Beyonce named her twins? No. Sean and B. And that's what I call my fiancé. Sean and B. Yeah. She named her twins Sean and B. Sean B.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Which I feel like it's not a coincidence. I feel like Sean B is a really trendy, hot Hollywood name right now. She couldn't name her kids Brad and Pitt, so she went with Sean B. Sean B. Sean B. I thought that then I'm like, well, maybe if Sean and I have twins, we can name them J and Z. because that seems only fair j and z j and z although sean b sounds like one person to me
Starting point is 00:05:29 john b well it is but j z and biance decided to name their old twins sean and b which i think it's so funny wait is j z's real name sean who is that as a gangster myself i should know this i know nothing i should know this i feel it maybe isn't and then that's a ballsy move to name your twins after yourself. Like, you have to be pretty legendary to get away with that. Like, imagine Sean and I named our kids, Sean and Caitlin. Either that or a really big head.
Starting point is 00:06:03 One or the two. Or a what? A really big head. A big head. They're big headed. Oh, I get it. You're like, what? A big head.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I was like, I don't know if he's got a big head or not. I'm like, I'm not really a way. I don't know. Oh, big headed. Yes, absolutely. I guess I could just Google and find out if his name is Sean. But that would make sense. because it's Bay, but pronounced B, like spelt Bay.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Oh. I don't know. Champet. I feel like I'm spending too much time on this topic. Let's just get to you. I'm just enjoying your, like, southern voice over there so much. It's so, like, classic country. Is it really?
Starting point is 00:06:41 Yeah. You've got a great voice. You're a singer. Okay, let's introduce you. I'm very excited to get to this guest because you have great personality. Thank you. Very bubbly. I feel like you're kind of.
Starting point is 00:06:51 similar to me. We drive the same car. We drive the same car. Yes, notice as I pulled up. I will not be driving back because I hope to be drunk by the end of this. I'm already drunk. There you go. I know.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I poured you a pretty heavy whiskey drink there. Very strong whiskey, too. But I wanted to bring in like a female, powerful woman in the music biz, local Nashville, musician, also self-proclaimed hillbilly. We got Tara Thompson in the studio today. Yeah. I'm obsessed. Have you seen my tattoo?
Starting point is 00:07:20 I am obsessed with the fact that you have. have the words hillbilly tattooed on your arm you know what's the the worst part about it is the bees capitalized so if my shirt covers hill it looks like billy but that's is on my arm that's okay and that's why i did that it's why you did it someone told me the other day they go do you have billy on your arm and i was like no no it's hill but it's hillbilly but it's hill billy wait that's so great and uh my favorite definition of hillbilly is old-fashioned term for country music and that is on Google. Is it? Obviously, there's another one that's unsophisticated person from the mountains, which may or may not be some of my family members, but I was going to say, do you love or hate
Starting point is 00:07:59 the stereotypes? We are proud. Yeah, you should be. I wouldn't have gotten this tattoo if I wouldn't. I honestly, I have teardrops tattooed on my fingers so that if I like pout, it looks like I'm crying. That's a great idea. But those are like very subtle. Yours is like, look at, I'm like, I'm a hill bill. Go big or go home. And this is my only tattoo. I mean, I really like. You went for it. I just went for it. Like, I wish, I wish we had like a 360 camera in here so people could watch during this because we're just sitting here drinking talking about the fact that you have hillbilly tattooed on your arm. Yep. It's so good. Carlos Rubio, that's who did my tattoo. Really? Out in Phoenix. Oh, shut out. Oh, shut out. And what made you decide, have you always wanted to
Starting point is 00:08:41 get the word hillbilly? No. I've always wanted a tattoo. And he was like, you know, I did Miranda Lambert's first tattoo. And I was like, oh, cool. That's a little. I've always wanted a tattoo. I've always wanted a tattoo. No. I've always wanted a tattoo. I'm I'm going to get one one day. He's like, how about tomorrow? And I was like, maybe, you know, alcohol could have been involved in this decision making, but he made me pinky promise. So did you have to get drunk again to go back and do it? I was sober when I got there, but as the process, I was, yeah, I was pretty drunk. That's so balzy.
Starting point is 00:09:09 You know what? I think it says a lot about your confidence. And it's like you're owning who you are. That is pretty balzy. Because you grew up in East Tennessee. In East Tennessee. Okay. And like, are we talking small?
Starting point is 00:09:19 town. Oh, yeah. We're Dolly Parton's from. That's where I'm from. Oh, that's where you're from. And my folks actually just moved to White Pine, which is even more east. And like, I think there's one red light. No. Oh, I love stories like that. Oh, my gosh. They're on a farm that came with a donkey and a miniature horse. It came with it. Yeah. The owners that, you know, sold the house. They're like, we don't know what we're going to do with our donkey and our miniature horse. And they can't be separated because they're like the donkey freaks out if the little mini horse like their their names are Jose and Cherokee and my mom's like we're gonna keep them because we have horses yeah and uh and so now they're part of the family now and they're precious that's so cool when did this happen um I think
Starting point is 00:10:03 they bought their farm about six months ago oh so it's new this is new yeah they're their dream farm wow it's awesome so cool so how far of a drive I'm like obviously so new to Nashville I don't It's about three hours and 45 minutes from here. Do you ever see Dolly? No, I never get to see Dolly. Oh. Everyone always asked me that because she's literally. I asked you a typical question.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Oh, no, no, no. No, I just mean like, do you see Dolly there? And I'm like, no, she's hidden somewhere. She comes and she does a, I can't remember what the parade's called, but every year there's a severe county parade and she's always in it. Really? That's as close to Dolly as I've gotten. That's so cool.
Starting point is 00:10:43 I feel like Dolly is. It's like, I mean, probably so many girls like idols. I just love her. I love Dolly Parton, too. Yeah, I bet you do. She's as real as it gets. She's like the most legit female country singer that's ever lived. She ain't sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Wait, who is, aren't you related to someone like? I was about to say, I think she's tied. She's got to be tied with my cousin because my cousin's pretty sassy. Loretta Lynn. Yeah, that's insane. And she's the queen of country music. That's your cousin? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:11 So my grandma and her are first cousins. They grew up together in Butcher Hall or Kentucky. Wow. Way hillbilly. That's so cool. Hillbilly town. So, well, you're like allowed to have hillbilly tattooed on your heart. Oh, yeah. We're like, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:25 If I did, people would be like, Caitlin, you grew up in, like, Laduke, Alberta. And it's like, yeah, your friends had farms, but. It would not make sense. No. But that's, I actually, funny story, had a tattoo on my lip that was gone after, like, a week it faded. It was just gone. A week. How much pain for a week?
Starting point is 00:11:45 Yeah, it did not tickle. Oh. And guess what it said? No. Yours said hillbilly. It says hillbilly. Mine was pretty true to myself too, and it said hoodlum. Hoodlum.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Gangster. I told you. I told you. How did that hurt? Yeah. It definitely, I don't think I've had a, how many tattoos do I have? I have so many random small ones. Yeah, like I've got the tears on my finger.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I've got this tiny one on my wrist. I've got one music notes behind my ear. That's a good idea. Thanks. I want to get one on my middle finger. What do you want? I have a song called WTF. Oh, perfect.
Starting point is 00:12:20 And it stands for white trash female, but it's the perfect place. That is. I'll do it with you. Okay, let's do it. My story behind that song was if it's a single out on country radio and it becomes a number one, I'll get it. So every time someone asks me. Number one, may hold up your middle finger.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Oh, that's genius. Isn't it? I mean, I really just, I enjoy you. Unless it goes to number two, that would suck. Well, then you put it on two fingers. Two fingers. And you just have WTF on both fingers, and you can hold it up and be like, yeah. I don't agree with it if you ain't first, your last.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Number two's fine. Obviously, I'll be known. Yeah. Number two is great. Number one's better, but, you know, whatever. Yeah, but top three. Right? You're living.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Top three. Exactly. You're getting three. Top three for drinking, smoking, and singing. And telling hillbilly stories. Do you have any? All my songs. Are they all true?
Starting point is 00:13:21 They're pretty much all based on true stories. I get to exaggerate a hair just because that's the beauty of songwriting. That is. I have some hillbilly stories about my mom all day, every day. Oh, we should have her on the podcast? We should have her. I could tell you one funny story that could just kind of sum her up. This might make her sound more redneck than anything.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I love it. So back in the day, me and my sisters were little cheerleaders. Yeah. So we did the little cheerleading competitions, and my mom was a coach. Yeah. So my mom is very, tell it like it is. If she don't like you, you're going to know it. If she likes you, she's the best person in the world.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Yeah. But she's very sassy. I guess she hated this other cheerling coach. They must have had something going on. and we all did our little dances, you know, and they all, I don't know, did you cheerlead back in the day? I did dance competitions. Okay, so same thing. Same thing.
Starting point is 00:14:16 They all get in there and doing stunting and stuff. Yeah. And we heard someone had gotten in a fight and we're like, oh, that's weird. And then we figured out that it's mom. My mom went and pulled this girl's hair. Oh. And then, you know, they separate them. And she's like, if I catch you looking at me one more time, I'm going to come over here and I'm going to pull your hair again.
Starting point is 00:14:35 And I'm going to slap you. something, threaten her. Yeah. And sure enough, mom goes all the way back to her spot, and the girl looks at her, so she gets up. She had to be escorted out. So embarrassing. Wait, the girl just looked at her wrong. Looked at her wrong.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Just like she told her not to, and she got up, punched her. All kinds of, you know, we get in the car, and mom's like, so when we get home, we're going to tell dad, everything went great. Oh, my gosh. And, of course, dad asked, and the first thing we say is, mom had to be pulled off her cheerling coach three times. It's like, Allison, come on. Oh, that's so great. That's my mom. I feel like where you come from and like your stories like this probably has so much to do with who you are and obviously what you write about as a songwriter.
Starting point is 00:15:17 And you write all your own songs? I do. I co-write them with really good friends. That's so cool. And do you feel like because of where you came from in the small town and who your family, everything, obviously it's A in your blood. But B, do you feel like you had like nothing really to do so you just had to be creative? No, actually, I feel like we always had something to do And it might
Starting point is 00:15:39 It might have seen to city folks Like they have nothing to do But we always had Whether it was going out on the lake all day Camping, four-willing A bonfire is a thing Like that's like a thing Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:15:52 That's all of my like the parties I remember going up Growing up and going to We're all bonfire parties Oh my God those are the best They are the best Like I miss them I love camping
Starting point is 00:16:04 I feel like Well actually Sean likes camping too but we never went camping growing up and i come from like a small town and everyone else that i knew went camping and did all like the small town stuff but not us y'all should go camping at fall creek falls oh really that's beautiful you can go hiking we we text me that later i will i will i'll text you remember that and and do you have new music coming out now i do i'm actually i might be in the studio i don't know when yet there's not a set date but uh i do have a full album recorded wow when i had gotten my record deal but since the
Starting point is 00:16:35 then I've written so many songs that now we're just trying to decide which ones are going to make the first album. Well, that's not a bad problem to have. Right? It's like you got all these good songs and you're just trying to pick the best ones or just the ones that tell the story from top to bottom. Wait, how many do you have? Oh, Lord. Well, I recorded 11. And then I released five of those. So five of them are out. And then, hell, I think I've written 20 songs in the past. That are like up for the, I don't know, up for the money. That's so cool.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Now, do you hate people like me where I come off of like a reality show and move to Nashville and now I'm writing music and like, no. Oh, come on. I think that it's all about the steps you take in life that make you want to write something, you know. That's true. I got a lot of good material. You know, me being busy doing the bonfires and stuff is what made me be creative. Yeah. Honestly, if I was by myself, I'd just get bored and start drinking.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Well. And then stuff happens. And then you write about it. That's where the gold comes out. Absolutely not. No? No, as far as I don't think that at all about you. Oh, you don't.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Okay. I think that's, I think you should tell stories. Everyone wants to hear them. Yeah. I get, I just always feel I laugh because I'm like, you know, there's so much talent in Nashville. It's so intimidating. Yeah. And so once I started podcasting, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm just making excuses.
Starting point is 00:18:02 I'm like, I'll stick to podcasting. I don't need to write music anymore, even though I love doing it. I really love writing music and, like, co-writing and recording. And I've got two songs down. Shut up. Yeah. Well, we got to write a song. I would.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Well, that's what I was getting at. Oh. That's actually why I have you here. Okay. I knew there was something. We're going to do it right now on the podcast. Let's do it. Oh, Lord.
Starting point is 00:18:24 A whiskey wine drinking song. Hey, that'd be pretty fun. I'm down. How seriously, how strong is that whiskey that I gave you? I'm like, it's, I feel like my. chest hair's growing. It's putting chest on. I can see it. It's putting chest on your hair. See, look, I'm already, I'm already switching my words. It's, um, Kentucky straight bourbon. Of course. And it's like 47%. Oh, wow. That's Kentucky for you. Yeah. That's where my cousins are. There you go. A whole lot of them anyway. You know all about it. That's so, I want to be a hillbilly. Well, come on. I'm back home one weekend and you'll turn into a hillbilly. Do you hunt and do all that stuff? I don't, but my stepdad does. I just, I can't.
Starting point is 00:19:07 If I see a squirrel, I'm like, oh, God, I can't. I can't kill an animal. You're one of those, like, sweet little southern. I can eat one, but I don't want to be the one to kill it. You know what I'm saying? I'm with you on that. Sean and I talk about that all the time. I'm like, I don't know how people hunt.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I just couldn't. But as I'm, like, eating a steak. Oh, totally. Where's the A1 salt? You're like, look at that poor cow. And you're like, oh, that's what you're eating. Yeah, but I have to separate it because I totally get vegetarians. I get it.
Starting point is 00:19:32 But at the same time, I just love a good steak. You got to have your beef. I really do. And, I mean, it's so hard to be in the States because I keep trying to go back to, like, Alberta, but that's Canadian and feel like, what I don't know what you're talking about. My best, or one of my best friends is from Calgary, Alberta. Oh, that's two hours from my hometown. Oh, wow. That's cow town, Calgary.
Starting point is 00:19:50 And Canada's huge. That's crazy that my friend is only two hours away from you. Yeah, that's a lot of my family's in Calgary. So there you still there? She's still there. Let's road trip to Canada. We're coming to see, Kate Marsh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:02 I love it. And we aren't, wait, you're opening for Drake White? I am. July 4th. I'm leaving Monday. So casual like 4th of July, Drake White. Just, I love, I love Drake White. He, his voice is a little like Chris Stapleton.
Starting point is 00:20:18 It is, but it's so, he does all those crazy runs and he has that soul, but it, but it's so different from them. He reminds me of him too, but then they're just, it's a great variety. Yeah. With all these cold dudes. Wow. So you're just killing. is what you're saying. Oh, I'm trying to.
Starting point is 00:20:34 No, you are. You're doing great. And I saw you on the red carpet. Yeah. At what? CMAs. Yes. They're confusing because it's CMTs, CMAs, ACMs.
Starting point is 00:20:46 But we were beside each other on the carpet, just drinking and interviewing people. Oh, my God. I think I got drunk that night. Oh, I for sure was drunk that night. Way before the show started. Well, I feel like that makes you a little more relaxed and able to, like, have fun with people. I remember John Party came out to me and I was, like, doing the guns already. Like, be poo, beoo, just pewing everywhere.
Starting point is 00:21:04 I think he came up to me right after you. So I got, I got, we were right by the bar. Yes. Which was obviously not an accident. I brought my flask, so. To the, I just told them straight up. I'm like, just have something in my cup, okay? Please, just fill her up.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I'm not very entertaining. That's the thing. Like, that's why I drink during the podcast. I'm like pretty boring if I'm drinking water. Oh, I highly doubt it. No, I'm not. But anyone would be, you know. No.
Starting point is 00:21:29 No. I don't think you'd be boring drinking water. Well, I'm a lot more fun When I'm drinking whiskey or wine I'm already switching my words around So this is already getting interested You're welcome You're welcome Thank you, thank you
Starting point is 00:21:40 That's so cool though I'm like Wait, how old are you? Can I ask you that? I'm 29 Oh, you're just a little young pot I'll be 30 in October So it's like going to be a hopefully big year for me Well, it already is
Starting point is 00:21:52 I'm going into my 30s And I can't wait 30's the best year So far for me Yeah So you're 30 I'm 32 Okay
Starting point is 00:21:59 So you're just a couple years older than me i was expecting a reaction like no you're not okay i'm like damn i'm like we're like soul sisters no i definitely didn't think you were 32 at all i thought i thought you're going to be younger than me everyone's younger than me really everyone yeah in this world in this in this whole world everyone is younger than me no i feel like a lot of the girls in the in country music a lot of us are either right there or or i'm one of the i think it's important though to be um in a good head space when you go big you know in my 20s I was really I was crazy not saying that I'm a little not wild now no I'm wild still but I hear you oh I don't know how I survived my 20s to be honest I say that
Starting point is 00:22:42 I you know what I had this is I think my sixth podcast and I think five of them including this one now I've talked about my crazy 20s oh my God we could go on all day about that I there's one story and I would never tell this if it was it sounds way worse than it was yeah I don't even know if I want to say the band's name, but I was like 22 or something, maybe 21, and I was serving at a restaurant, and this band came in, and they're like a pretty big name band. Oh, no. And they were like, do you know who we are? And I was like, no. And I served them. And we ended up having so much fun. And I sat down after my shift. I drank with them. And the next day, they're like, yeah, you need to come to our show. And I was like, okay, cool. And I ended up on stage with them.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Like at this huge concert and we were just like drinking whiskey and I was with my girlfriend and we were like dressed up and this was like a rock band and we're like in little heels and like and like everybody was chirping us on our way and being like you're not at a Britney Spears concert and we're like we're just jealous we're with the band we're with the band like of course you are it was now that I think about it but wait it gets worse oh no we go to their bus after and this is why I would never tell this story if it was. You know, this sounds really bad, but it was actually such a blast. These guys were actual gentlemen. We sat on the bus and played cards and drank Scotch and watched Anchorman, I think. Oh, my God, that's my, like, favorite movie. Oh, me too. Will Ferrell all day. I could probably quote it, like, word for word.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Did we just become best friends? I know that's stepbrothers, but, uh... Yep, we did. Yeah. And so we, and... Long story short, I woke up in Calgary, actually. What? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Back home in Canada? Were you in Canada? I was started in Vancouver. Oh, my God. And woke up with my girlfriend on the bunk. And we were like, what the? And we looked outside the window and we walked outside and the guys are all eaten cereal. And we're like, where are we? And they're like, Calgary, I think. And we're like, what? And I was like, what time is it? And it was 11 o'clock and I was supposed to be at work at 10. And I lost my job. They fired you? Oh, yeah. Well, that makes the story even cooler. And then I just continued to go on tour because I was like, Yeah, I don't got my job. We ended up, and they were actual perfect gentleman because, as I said, I would not tell the story if it was any worse than that. Oh, my God. But we just ended up having, like, so many inside jokes. And I wish I could say the name of the band, but I honestly don't even want to, like, get them in trouble.
Starting point is 00:25:14 You text it to me? Yes. Okay. Yes. Just think, like, really, like, they were eyeliner. Wow. Those guys. Those guys.
Starting point is 00:25:23 That sounds like fun. But that's, I mean, and that's kind of like a fun 20s story. Like, I could tell you worse, but it's my podcast. and I don't think I should do it. Yeah, maybe. We'll keep it positive. Positive only. Gosh.
Starting point is 00:25:35 I'm like trying to read my notes, but I don't like to prepare for podcasts. Nah. I'm like, I'll have little notes here and there. Bullet notes. That's it. But I'm like, I don't even think I've gone off anything that I've written down anyways. So, oh, I know. I know what I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:25:49 We have something else in common. Oh, Lord. That we have both sang at honky tonks in Nashville. Shut up. What did you sing? Oh, well, many places. Honky Talk Central. Oh, yeah, they're owned by Tutsi's, same owners.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Yes. Okay. And I think the only difference is that you would get paid and you were the talent and I would get kicked off stage. But I would do it. Do you know Autumn? Oh, Autumn Reynolds? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I love Autumn. Yeah, she pulls me up there all the time. She's the sweet. And she pulls me up on stage at Honky Tongue Central. I'm like, I've had like numerous cocktails at this point and we'll just start like a rap battle and sing up there all the time. I love her. Yeah, it's so much fun. But I'm like, I was obviously Googling you.
Starting point is 00:26:34 And I'm like, cool. We both sing at honky tonks. I sang at honky tonks for like seven years. That's so fun. With Autumn. Autumn did the same thing I did. We didn't sing together, but we did. She'd be upstairs and I'd be down at the same time.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yeah. Because there's like four floors. Oh, yeah. Now there is. Good Lord. When did you do that? Let's see. I got my record deal in 2015.
Starting point is 00:26:58 And so, 14. You don't have to do the math. I went to Sylvan for math. My folks, I don't know if you know what Sylving Learning Center is. I've seen the commercials. They punished me and made me go there for math. So math is just not my thing. Well, you're like, look at me now, Mom.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I don't need math. I don't need math as I'm sitting here going 14, 13. I think I don't need it. I think I quit in 2013. I think the main point here is that you have a record deal and that you started by singing out at honky talks. That's what I mean. there's so much talent in the city it's I mean my whole life
Starting point is 00:27:32 I grew up singing and dancing and so being here I'm like I'm going to write music and sing and it's fun but then I go to like a honky talk where I'm like I have no business singing like with this person's like just so talented so much fun though it is so much fun Nashville
Starting point is 00:27:48 like the secret is out Nashville is the place to be it's so much fun what do you want next like what is your dream as a singer my dream as a singer I didn't even have that one written down. I want a number one song. Well, yeah. You're going to get it, girl.

Starting point is 00:35:30 girl. Okay. So, I don't know how we can make this a drinking game, but we'll just drink when we answer a question. Because that's how all drinking games work anyways. Isn't that? It's how they end up. Everyone's just drinking. Drinking games are so funny. Yeah. Okay, you drink every
Starting point is 00:35:46 Okay, I'll just drink anyways through it, so cool, but we're playing games, so. Okay, so this is how you play. I'm a hillbilly or, no, not really. I just, I just came up with this, so bear with me. I'm going to say, like, the most, like, stereotypical things about hillbillies. Okay. And you tell me if, yes, that is hillbilly and you've done that, that's so, that's so you. Oh, okay. Or, no, not really.

Starting point is 00:37:13 Like, you didn't buy it like that. You cut them off. yourself like preferably preferably oh i you're asking me prefer i prefer i prefer them to be plaid oh i love plaid plad of course because you're a hillbilly because i'm a hillbilly can't wait imagine have you do like cute little photo shoots for albums and stuff i've done like two i need to do another one probably can i be can i inspire you for a second please you need to like drink whiskey You know how girls try and be sexy and they'll be in a waterfall? Totally.
Starting point is 00:37:48 You need to, like, be dumping whiskey on yourself in a plaid bathing suit with cutoffs with your hillbilly tattoo showing. Hey, that's like branding right there. You just branded me. I did. That means I have to put a bathing suit on, though. Yeah, but you can make it like a baggy flannel bathing suit. Ooh, I love that. Where do I get a baggie?
Starting point is 00:38:07 Baggy flannel bathing suit. Can I be on your album cover because I want to do that photo shoot? Please. And you like, you like, you know how girls like. Oh, totally. It's kind of like the cheeseburger when they're eating it, like, sexy. Yeah, but it's not sexy at all. You're like pouring whiskey down.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Or like how they say like, oh, God. Try this on Pinterest and then it's like a fail. That could be like your album cover. Yes. Ooh, that's such a great idea. Why am I saying this out loud? We've got to rate this down and not let anyone else take their ideas. All right, everybody, moving on.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Moving on. Next question. Next question. That never happened. Hey, I heard that editing is a thing. Can we get that out? Can we cut that out? Cool.

I usually just make this taradactyl. That was, that was solid. That used to be my nickname, Teradactyl. Why? I don't know. What? Some guy from my, that I grew up, his name was Ricky, is like one of the dad figures.
Starting point is 00:39:57 He called me Teradactyl. Oh, because your name's Tara. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Duh. Sorry. And I'm like, I don't know. I'm better than that. I should have known that that's where that came from. Teradactyl. Terradactyl. Okay. I thought there was like a funny story. Like, my nickname in Vancouver is Bean. Bean. But I have no idea. Like, I think it was because I saw. go houseboating all the time and I jumped off a houseboat one time in like these green suspenders. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:40:21 And they were like, you look like a string bean just like flying in the air and then bean stuck from like when I was 20. I like that. And everybody like everybody in Vancouver and my friends call me bean. You should bring that back. It didn't go away though. My my Snapchat name is snapback bean because I always wear snapbacks. It's still there. It's still alive and well.
Starting point is 00:40:41 It's still alive and well. Cheers to that. We're going to drink. We're drinking again. I love this game. Wait, I wanted to come up with, wait, let's come up with a hillbilly or not really theme song. Because on my last podcast, Sean, I did one called If I had a Nickel. And we said, if I had a nickel, hey, if I had a nickel, hey, if I had a nickel, then I would have a nickel.
Starting point is 00:41:05 What's up? Okay. So what's it? We could do that. A hillbilly or not really song. Make it really country. Oh, it's got to be country. Super country.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Hill Billy Or not really Yeah Yeeh Yeha And then Hill Billy Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:24 Not really E'Haw Okay Donkey We're making donkey Nog That's what they do He'all
Starting point is 00:41:30 I'm very aware Like heha I'm very aware of the sound A donkey makes Heha Oh my gosh Is that a donkey Your phone series
Starting point is 00:41:38 Like Did you say make a donkey sound I don't even know What's going on It's that That's that app. I had the app up, and now it's making fire noises, and I thought.
Starting point is 00:41:47 This couldn't happen at even more of a bit. Fire noises. This is our theme song. Bonfire. Hillbilly. Not really. Yeehow. Yes.
Starting point is 00:41:58 As it's making fire. Okay. Ready? No, we'll end it with that. Okay. We're in the middle. I am so all over the back thing. I love it.
Starting point is 00:42:06 People love it, too. People love me being all over the map. I do this, too. And, you know, when I was doing that co-hosting thing for the CMAs, I had a terrible habit of asking a question and then kind of answering it myself. Oh. And then getting sidetracked and going on to the next question before they did. So you're like me and you like to hear yourself talk.
Starting point is 00:42:26 I don't know if they're going to ask me back. Yeah. I love to hear myself talk. I bet it was fun though. It was fun. I kind of did the same thing. Watching myself back, they did a thing on like Sounds like Nashville with me interviewing people.
Starting point is 00:42:39 And I was like, oh, I guess I could have let them talk like a little bit. Me, I was horrified. I was like, Lord, Tara, stop talking. My mom goes, you need to stop talking so much. You know what's funny is that I don't have any friends in Nashville, and I don't understand why we haven't hung out yet. We can be friends. We are friends. We should be friends.
Starting point is 00:42:57 We can write jingles and drink and, you know, Snapchat. We could totally write jingles in Snapchat. Do you Snapchat? I do a little bit. I'm so, I do the Instagram and the Twitter and the Facebook. It's hard to keep up. That's like the one I don't. do but everyone's like snapchat's where it's at so I'm like crap snapchat is where it's it
Starting point is 00:43:18 what's your least favorite of all them um I I don't like Twitter oh I love Twitter is that your favorite no I'm not good at it I love it all Twitter's funny because I love saying the most random things is that what Twitter is really random yeah okay and I like live tweeting like the Bachelorette now yeah okay so funny that makes actually so much more sense now if you make Twitter you're more like random yeah don't I didn't know that yeah don't I'll like mix in a few things whatever but my the majority of my tweets are like I'm just trying to make people laugh super random that's what I am anyway well then get on Twitter yo I'm getting on board I'm hopping on the Twitter train yeah get on that I'm on the Twitter train um wait no I don't I don't even did I ask you
Starting point is 00:44:06 if you find beerbellies attractive no you did not ask me that well hmm it depends It really does depend on the person. It really does depend on the person. See, that's adorable. Because it's like sometimes some guy just looks like he was born with a beer belly. And is that hot? And you're like, I don't know if it'd be hot. Like, oh, gosh, this guy's so hot. But it'd be like, oh, I love this guy. I would totally date you for a minute. For a hot minute? For a minute. And then I'd probably break up with you because of your beer belly. Exactly. I'm like, all right, buddy, sit up. So it was cute in the beginning. Let's tighten this up. Tighten up your game.
Starting point is 00:44:41 It's not fun anymore. It's not hot, but it's not unattractive. Well, that, so that's like hillbilly and not really. It's kind of, yeah, it's kind of in the middle there. I feel like you have to say really, like, not really. And it's not so bad unless you cover it. Yeah. If you're like, beerbellies hanging out, you know, and it's like that hairy beerbelly, beer belly, like, hang out.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Yeah, it's not hot. It's like, ew. But if it's, like, nice and tucked in. If you have it tucked in and covered, then. Then yes. And I'm all about it. Then call me now. Then turn down the sexy.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Hillbilly. Not really. Not really. When do we add the Yehaw? Yehaw, right after that. Hillbilly. Not really. Wait, let's harmonize.
Starting point is 00:45:29 I'll go hillbilly. And you go, Hillbilly. Okay. Hill billy. Not really. Yehaw. What's the harmonies of y'haal? We'll do the same.
Starting point is 00:45:40 We'll do the same y-Haul. Okay. Okay. Wait, what was the harmony note? Wait, am I singing harmonies? I'm singing harmonies, right? Just have another sip. This should be the theme song right here.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Wait, who's singing harmonies? What's the note? You sing harmonies. And I sing... Hillbilly, not really. Not really. E-haul. We stutter.
Starting point is 00:46:06 It's okay, because it would be weird if we nailed it right off the back. Um, you own at least 20 baseball hats. Oh, yeah. Okay, now, Sean argued with me on this one. He was like, no, if you're a real hillbill, you probably only have one. I only, I only wear the one that I wear all the time. Actually, I wore it.
Starting point is 00:46:24 I just took it off for my, uh, uh, no, actually, that's not the one I wear all the time. That's not. I wear a camo one that says Old Forge, moonshine, moonshine. God, I love it. Um, and so I have all these hats on hat racks because they give me a bunch. Do you have hat racks on gun racks? Pretty much, yeah. I got gun racks.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I feel like Sean needs to be worried. Like now my friendship is turning into like a girl crush. Like now I'm like, okay. A hillbilly crush. We just, I think we just wrote our next song. We need to stop saying these things out loud because they are cold. That didn't happen. I'll edit that one out.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Sean, maybe tune out at this part. I'm going to start hitting on her. He was, he's like, hey, we need to talk. I'm concerned. He is right as far as the one hat that you always wear. It's just, I have a bunch. You have 20, but you wear one. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:47:16 So Hillbilly. Yeah. Okay. That's another in the middle, I guess. Well, I picked the wrong questions on Google. You Googled Hillbilly questions. That is hilarious. What?
Starting point is 00:47:26 No. What else was on there? No. Oh, so many things. I think there's like 500 to choose from. Okay. I've got two more. This one, now we've already talked about this, so I feel like I know the answer.
Starting point is 00:47:38 your move to tears every time you hear Dolly Parton singing I will always love you I don't cry oh I'm a hard ass oh yeah me too I do not I cry so much I think of a I think of the movie bodyguard actually I go to Whitney Houston for some reason oh well yeah I get that and it's just but you're but I do love that song what's wrong with you you go to Whitney Houston hillbillies don't cry we just suck it up and if we do cry we do not You drink your tears and then you don't tell anybody. And we're like, hey, the next morning, it's like, are you okay? And it's like, what?
Starting point is 00:48:13 I feel like in my next life, I have to be a hillbilly. You should. You should. Now, I'll get emotional on commercials that are like. Oh, like, but. Yeah. I get that. I'm by myself.
Starting point is 00:48:24 You show me a commercial with a golden retriever in it. I will cry. Especially the ones where the dogs are. Don't tell me you have a golden retriever. I just adopted a great Pyrenees Mixed Lab. My third dog. I don't know what the hell I'm thinking. I do. I get it. I want 10. I saved her. Did you really? I did. I mean, I didn't personally, but I gave her a good life.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Oh. Her family loved her. People are cool. Don't. Now you're going to make me cry. Like, see, I'm going to cry. Now, if we start talking about animals. No, I'm the same way. Then I'll cry. I cry. Like, Tucker was sick for a little while, and he took a solid poop the other day, and I cried. And you're like, yay. I was so happy. Baby poop. Oh, bless his heart. I was so happy that he had a solid poop that I. I got emotional. So I get it. We won't go there. We're not going to cry on this podcast today. Maybe another time.

I was going to go into Bachelor Talk, but honestly, we've had so much fun without talking about it that I don't need to go there. Next time. Next time on Off the Vine with Caitlin Brousseau and Tara.
Starting point is 00:50:27 I'm going to do a segment. I usually go kicking it with Caitlin or kick it with Caitlin where people can ask me questions. Oh, cool. So feel free to chime in on your answers. I'm just going to go through a couple just because they're funny. Okay. And I love interacting with my listeners because I find it mind-blowing that people want to listen to me talk. And I love how people always have different answers.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Oh. It's like, oh, I would never do that. I would totally do that. Totally. I love questions. I'm really passionate about questions. As long as they're not multiple choice. As long as they're not math.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Yes, or math. Screw you, Sylvan. Okay. Jill Johnson asked me What saying or impression Have you said so many times That you annoy yourself now Which I was thinking about this
Starting point is 00:51:11 I'm like I don't know I'm just you know I've got so much material That I don't really recycle anything I got one What? It's bad And I didn't even think I said this
Starting point is 00:51:20 But I think I've said it about 10 times already What? Is bless his heart Oh that's so Southern Bless your heart And someone was saying that Oh the Southerners always say that I'm like I never say that
Starting point is 00:51:30 And then now that someone said that You realize you say all the time every i'm like spilling whiskey on me i'm like bless her hard this is why we need cameras in here i think it's so entertaining you should i feel bad i feel bad i'm making you spill your drink and it does annoy me because then i'm i as soon as i say it i'm like but that was me with being canadian i used to always say a and i used to always say a boat a boot yeah but now i overthink that and i say about too like too much on the out they're like where are you from yeah i've like made up my own accent just from like trying to take out my Canadianness, which I don't want to do,
Starting point is 00:52:06 you know, but I don't say A anymore. I used to say A and then people called me out so much that I started saying hey. Do you say big? Big. Oh yeah, yeah. And bagel and milk. Oh, wow. Sorry. And then Jana Kramer called me out for saying, hey, she said that's still too Canadian. You got to say, huh? Huh? Huh? So now when I ask a question, I'm like, oh, I know, huh? But it just, It doesn't sound natural at all. I don't agree with the huh. So I don't really feel like I have a saying that I overdue. But anyways, Tia, that's all her name was on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:52:41 She got a hell of an answer. Jill Johnson got a hell of an answer. Tia would like to know. Who do you want to see when this season of The Bachelorette, which honestly, are you watching? Probably not, because you didn't know who Lee was. This season of The Bachelorette, Rachel's badass. She's a great Bachelorette. Her guys, not so much.
Starting point is 00:53:00 And I still don't know I'm like it's too early I want to wait to like final four to make my decision because I have no idea right now it's too too early Emily Southwell asks when did you get your first tattoo
Starting point is 00:53:13 how many do you have and what do they mean? This is way too deep this is too deep for right now this is the end of the podcast I have one two three four five
Starting point is 00:53:26 six I'm missing one I have like seven and none of them really mean anything except for the one on my wrist which is actually really sad one of my best friends died in a car accident so I got her initial tattooed on my wrist
Starting point is 00:53:42 with her sister and our best friend and then my birds on my arms I hate birds but I have them tattooed because I love the meaning of them because they're like old school sailor tats they're like sparrows and they're the only bird that remember how to fly home I think they're like badass like sailor tattoos so I'm having
Starting point is 00:53:59 terrible answers. Every time I do kicking it with Caitlin, I'm like, why did I do that? Well, I, and I, we already talked about mine. Yeah, and yours are gold. Oh, I got one. I wish I had the balls to tattoo hillbilly on my arm. That's a great spot, too. Jamie and Nina asked, what's your most embarrassing first date story? I dated a stripper and I didn't even know it. Uh-uh. Uh-huh. I was 18 years old, which is the legal age where I grew up. I dated a stripper and I didn't know it. He took me, you know what's the best is that his name is Rick and that is like my ultra ego. And he
Starting point is 00:54:33 picked me up in like this really weird blue sports car that had like blue tinted windows and he was wearing a man purse and his pants were hiked up really high and then he took me to an arcade and I found out that he was a male stripper. Uh-uh. I was that to say the arcade's not bad. No this
Starting point is 00:54:49 was bad. Oh. It's probably better than going somewhere fancy with him because that would have been I think he wanted to after but I made him take me home. Oh my God. You're like I'm feeling. Yeah, I'm like Oh, all those games, you know. I'm just like, something's wrong. I'm allergic to arcades.

I'm terrible at drinking water. Hey, I heard one time on Simpsons that you don't make friends with salad. no they did a conga line they said you don't make friends a salad you don't make friends a salad and I've lived by that ever since it's rabbit food rabbits eat salad and I got a my last last one I'm going to ask myself is from my fiancee who tweeted me with my hashtag off the vine just so I could answer his question on the podcast and he asked why did you throw an entire load of wet towels from the washer to the dryer that had my finished dry clothes inside
Starting point is 00:56:28 And my answer to that, I'm going to answer his question with another question. Why are your dry clothes still sitting in the dryer? I was proving a point. Hashtag kick it with Caitlin. Thanks for playing. Thanks for coming, Tara. Thanks for having me. You were just a delight.
