Snap, snap, snap.
We're at my home studio today, drinking spade and sparrows, catching up on what's new in
her life, and to find out if those rumors that she's running for the bachelorette may be true.
Please welcome to the podcast, Tia Booth.
Thank you.
Yeah, you know what?
You're so welcome.
I like how you say running for the bachelorette, like it's a presidential election.
Yeah, I'm voting for you.
I have, like, a sign of your face on my lawn.
I'm like I'm going to do that.
I'm going to do that.
I'm going to make a big fake sign with your face on it.
It says Tia for Bachelorette and put it in my grass this weekend.
I'm doing it.
I am.
I'm doing it.
I mean, when they don't decide, you can still do whatever you want.
I'm still going to root for you and vote for you for next year.
Thank you.
Wait, how old are you?
28.
That's the perfect age.
That is literally the perfect age to be the Bachelorette.
You already knew what you want them before.
Now you know more than ever.
Even more.
I think it would be more ready now than I would have been two years ago.
Totally.
Because I dealt with it.
I came back to the real world.
And now I'm like, okay.
And you've managed to like stay humble, which I love.
And you went back to your job and you like, you know, did what you had to do.
And then you're like, now I'm ready to make the move to Nashville.
Right.
Now I'm ready to like call the shots.
Right.
If they don't pick you, I'm going to raise hell.
I will.
I'm going to raise hell.
I was looking back at the last time we did a podcast.
together which was in 2018 yeah it's two it's 2020 that's so crazy yeah um so when we did the live
show with you and blake so long ago um we're talking about how colton was announced as a bachelor
and we're all bitter but now do you feel like that was a million years ago so long ago like
i forget that that even happened so long ago and that same weekend we did the podcast i met my now
ex-boyfriend the same weekend so i like that seems like forever ago because we've been in a relationship
right and out right and moved on yeah and that was the last time we i like that because so much
can happen in a year and a half yeah it did so much growing and evolving and did you learn so much
through the last breakup too oh for sure isn't like for sure and we talked about it actually after
that because i felt weird for not feeling sad or felt guilty for not being so heartbroken
and you were like well it's because you've come into your own and you are more
confident and know what you want and you're more self-assured and you know you're okay without them right
i think one of the most important things to remember in a breakup is that you're okay without them and if
you're not then that's a problem right i didn't need you yeah i wanted you right we tried yeah i gave it my
all yeah you didn't probably didn't but here we are but that's the thing how old was he 34 oh damn
he has no excuse right right i feel like guys take it maybe
this is just me because I'm a woman and I'm like yeah but I feel like women learn so much through
through through that affects their heart and emotions they take it and we learn from it and we
grow and then we learn for next time and each time might you know still not be the one but you keep
learning through those times where guys just do the same shit over and over and just go the next wrong
honey it might be you yeah no one you're the common denominator you like figure it out there's one
thing here and it's you right i know i'd say you want to shake them and be like this could be great but
it's you're not allowing it to be even with the next one it's like you could have something great with
someone but you haven't figured your shit out right to do that like it's not even it doesn't even have to be
me exactly one come on because we wouldn't date them in the first place if we thought they're
big pieces of shit right we see some good we see the potential and i don't know if you're like this i
didn't think I was but maybe subconsciously I was are you a fixer oh 1,000% see I didn't think I was
looking back now maybe I was a little bit but I think a lot of people want to fix and help and everybody's
got that motherly instinct or wanting to take care of somebody but you learn over and over again
doesn't work and it's hard to stray away from being a fixer I figured out because when I was
younger I would date guys that had family issues or whatever because I'm like I can feel
that void for them yeah well the last one had a great family had all these things going for him
and i still wanted to fix him in some way it's like uh tired of fixing yeah i'm going to be already
whole it's hard and that's hard and that's the thing too is i think from from outside looking in
i think you work on yourself to be whole right and i think that's why you weren't so devastated and
heartbroken and can't go on because you were just you'd worked you've done the work you've put that work in
on yourself and and you felt or feel whole or close to or you're working towards it.
Right.
And and if somebody else isn't keeping up with you or growing with you, then bye.
Bye.
Bye for now.
Sorry.
Bye.
I got to go be the bachelor.
I see.
Chris, call us.
Oh, I'm going to text him right now.
And wait, who's calling me from Lyndon, New Jersey?
It's Chris Harrison.
Can you imagine?
We heard Tia's on your podcast.
We have news for her.
All right.
So Mr. Chris Harrison was telling me about this crazy party Hulu through in Beverly Hills with all the biggest reality TV stars from like every show.
And now I have to watch the commercials to see what happened like everyone else.
I don't usually get FOMO, but in this case, I have extreme FOMO here.
Luckily for you, Hulu has the reality TV that you love.
So start your free trial today at Hulu.com.
How terrified would you be to actually have a relationship that worked out of the show?
then have to, I'm clearly like bringing up some old emotions here, but I'm like, but how would
you think about dealing with, because you've just been in the situation a couple times now.
So how would you know to like, you know, still go through the show, experience each relationship,
take it to the level that you need to to figure it out.
And then how would you, would you be scared to have a relationship after of like watching
that back with somebody?
Terrified.
Yeah.
Terrified because, um, apparently my picker is off.
Like I think I picked these great people and then if I was thrown into a situation where I did
have the control, but I was still having to trust the people around me to help me make those
decisions, but they're also producing a TV show. It's like, yes, I want to go for the right person
and invest in each one of those. And I think I'm at the point where not that I'm content,
well, yeah, I kind of am, just content with being single. So I am open to the chance of having
my heartbroken again. Like I'm ready for the possibility.
of that because I know it could be something great but wait I love what you just said there because
I hate when people are like I'm looking for the last piece of whatever like I'm looking for that
person to fill that last it's like no your whole you've done what you needed to do your content being
single I think that's the most important mindset I haven't been at this place in a long long time
that's great I'm just like a dating gal and always a relationship gal and I'm at the point I'm not
trying I'm not looking I'm not on dating apps I'm not that's actively seeking it and I'm like
I'm okay.
Yeah.
I'm okay.
That's exactly where you want to be.
Yeah.
And that's when the right person will come along or 25 of the right people.
I hope they are at Publix in my neighborhood because I go there.
Okay.
So you've moved to Nashville.
I have.
And have you been going on dates here?
I have not.
No.
I mean, you've only been here for what?
Two weeks.
Okay.
Okay.
Wait.
I thought it was way longer.
I'm like, okay, two weeks.
That's fair.
The opportunity has not.
But you're not on dating apps.
No, I'm not.
That's great.
Nashville's a tough place to meet people, I find.
Why?
I thought it was better.
Well, where were you before, Arkansas?
Little Rock, Arkansas.
Yeah.
I mean, it's going to be a little more opportunities here than there.
But I just, I mean, in general, like, I found even making girlfriends was tough here.
Yes.
So I'm glad that I already have established girlfriends here.
Because it is very different and interesting.
In Arkansas, like, I know this sounds terrible.
and crazy, whatever, but I'm the only person in Arkansas that's ever been on a TV show
to ever do anything like that. So it's like coming here, it's like a small fish in a big
pot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Small fish in a big pond. Is that the same? Yeah. Instead of like
big fish in a little pond, which I just came from. It's just, it's different. And I just, you know,
thought about this the other days. I'm trying to start at a new gym and like trying to get back in a
routine and it's hard to make friends as an adult. That's going to help you grow even more as a
person to step outside that comfort zone. Oh, I'm out of it. There. I'm out of it. And was that
scary for you? Yes. Because it took you a few years because since we've been friends you wanted to
move to Nashville. But what what came over to you to make the decision and say Tia? Stop your bitching
and complaining and move to the great city of Nashville. So one of my biggest things was my job, my physical
therapy job. I love my coworkers and loved where I was at work. It was super flexible. I could
still do what I wanted. But then I got like there were a lot of changes that happened in the
therapy world. And it just got to a point where I'm like, you know what? I can probably make a
clean break. I can do it. Had the breakup. One of the things that was off about our relationship is that he
lived here in Nashville, but he wasn't ready for me to move here after almost a year. He still didn't
want me to be here so my lease was about to end at my apartment and I said you know what forget it
yeah I'm not listening to him I'm put it like I put in to be month to month yeah so I could just
decide to go when I wanted and it was not really out of spite but I was like you know what I'm gonna move
yeah I said I wanted to be there regardless of if he was there or not and I just yeah you've wanted
to before I mean yeah I remember the day you met him or we're going on a date with him and you
wanted to move here yeah and so I'm glad I'm proud of you for like doing it because it's
what you wanted to do yeah um yeah and i mean do you like cowboys because there's some cute
cowboys here um no i like more dirty oh like tattoo okay okay hmm i mean like they're not dirty but
they might like they have the they have the potential to be dirty but they're still but they smell
nice but mark our videographer is in here taking photos of videos he just rolled up his sleeves he just
rolled up his sleeves with his tattoos
And now he's flexing while he takes the photo.
With his wedding ring on.
He's like, oh, shoot, forgot about that.
That's amazing.
He's Canadian.
He's got a sense of humor.
Oh, I love it.
Canadians are the best.
Aren't they?
Maybe I need a Canadian.
You know what?
There's some rough little tattooed Canadian boys out there.
Dog hair.
Are they in Nashville?
No.
But we could get them here.
Like, I cannot meet the love of my life that far away after the movie.
The good news is there's so many imports of different people.
people all over the city like you're gonna you're not gonna have a hard time meeting somebody i shouldn't say
that um but i mean i don't know but in yourself out there's hard it's so hard and i just think
especially you've grown up in such a small town and have been in such a routine and it's so
easy to get stuck in that and it's so hard to make that change even though to us on the outside it seems
like a no-brainer like why would tia booth not move to nashville and go after what she wants she's going
to get it but for you it's it's it's harder than that it is yeah it's it's
different yeah um so let's talk about this season of the bachelor okay have you been watching i have and
oh yeah you're sucked in yeah you are so what is your overall thought of peter as a bachelor um
bless him okay this is going to come out the day after women tell all so i mean it's not like
we're going to miss or we're not missing any okay so parts of me just want to hold him like a little
baby yeah just rock him and i think a lot of people are saying he's indecisive he doesn't know what he
wants and I try to give him the benefit of the doubt in that he is he's sweet he doesn't want to
hurt anyone's feelings and he's especially earlier on he was hearing so many different opinions
from so many different girls and all this drama and he was just you want the people that
you trust I would assume like the girls that are vying for your love you want to be able to trust
them and listen to what they're saying but at the same time you don't want anyone to be a
tattletail and run to you with all their problems because that's not the point.
But I don't know.
People are saying it's the worst season ever.
I wouldn't say that at all.
I think he's been into Maddie since day one.
And it's hard for him to focus on other relationships.
Yes, which totally makes sense.
Yeah.
But I feel like I'm biased.
Well, I mean, he's so sweet that he, you know, he's like trying to please all the women and be respectful.
But he's trying to please producers and he's trying to please viewers.
You have no clue what's even happening behind the scenes and what they're saying and what they're telling him and I kind of feel for him.
What's your theory? Everyone has a theory this season.
Okay. This is what I think.
Okay. I'm ready for it.
I think I think Maddie's great. I think they're all super young and not it's not just an age thing.
I think there is some inexperienced there with relationships, but I think Maddie really stood her ground because I was in a situation on.
the show where I talked about my faith a little bit, but if I would have been asked of fantasy
suites, I would have gone. You would have been in there. Right. So what I think happens is that
Maddie, I call her Maddie like we're friends. Madison. She sticks around because she says,
you know, I think this can work. Then towards the very end, she feels like she needs to leave.
So she leaves. So then by this point, Victoria's gone because they don't really have a connection.
So then he's faced with Hannah Ann.
He's like, oh, my gosh, do I really want Hannah Ann at the end of this?
Or am I really thinking about Maddie because she's gone?
So then he doesn't pick anyone.
Yeah.
And then filming continues after it's supposed to be all over.
Yeah, that's how it's not.
That's the only way that they don't have spoilers is because it's still being filmed.
Right.
It's the only way.
I don't get the bit with his mom crying.
I think it would be too obvious if it was about Madison.
Yeah.
And how are they announcing?
Okay.
Well, let me just say this.
If they're announced, it can't.
be one of the last two to be bachelorette it can't but even even if it was top four wouldn't it
still be weird if they haven't even like we at this point when this podcast comes out they have
already announced bachelorette and then women tell all would air the same night so wouldn't it
still be weird if it was anyone from his season yeah because then it would be announced and then they
would be arguing on women to all the same day you know what's going to be really interesting is if they do
pick anyone from the season seeing you know how they put the one girl in the hot spot in the last
seat yes who's going to be sitting there right usually it's the last girl to go home right and then at the
end is christmas say oh p s yeah they just announced it on gm a here's your right like no i'm so
curious how they're going to do this it's a lot my mind is racing of course and even colton tweeted
saying he thinks you should be the lead he did yeah what did you think when he tweeted that we
we all do let me listen them all i'm just more focused on your ex here
I thought it was cute
I thought he said that
I appreciate the support
he said something on Twitter
and on Instagram
I mean he never said anything
to me beforehand
I just have seen him post about it
I don't know I feel like
maybe me and him
are in the same position
and that he feels like
I deserve the chance to
after all the stuff with him
and Becca and everything that happened
they both got their happy endings
totally we need to finish out the triangle
right we can all have closure
move on
I love closure
I love a good closure
of me too that's why some people are saying hannah b is going to be the bachelor again but you can't
go back to back maybe in like a couple years yeah but not back to back and i also feel like she had such
a good season that you want to leave it on a high and she won the mirror ball yeah yeah yeah she's real high
yeah yeah yeah she could just keep that potential where i feel like it would go yeah very risky for her
yeah all right do you own or rent your own home i bet you do and i bet it can be hard work i know from
experience you know it's easy bundling policies with geico guycoe go makes
easy to bundle your homeowners or renters insurance along with your auto policy.

That's G-E-I-C-O.com.
Now, let's say you don't get picked as a bachelor.
Would you go back on Paradise?
I don't think so.
Really?
Never say never is what I've been saying, but I don't know.
my stint with that was not great especially if it's going to be a lot of younger guys like
I'm really into this like for the real thing not just a full around and yeah because you're
I cannot be the husband I cannot but but is there anyone from bachelor nation that you would
consider if they were on paradise no oh not really really it just but it also depends on who
they have cast right now that's true that we don't know yeah yeah yeah yeah
And that will depend on the age of who the Bachelorette is that they pick.
And there's so much to think about it.
And it all happens so fast.
I know.
I try not to intermingle with the Bachelor Nation people because then it gets hairy.
And I know.
Well, I want to know what's next for you outside the Bachelor world.
Because you have so much going on and you have so much potential and you're in the new city and you're just like, you're new to you're ready to go.
What are you going to do?
So I think my biggest thing lately has just been the move and getting here.
in focusing on that um obviously very thankful for social media and for the opportunities
that happen with that we have a trip coming up yes we do australia oh my gosh it's so fun we need to
podcast again from there and i'll be our fourth time podcasting in my only podcast exclusive we signed
yeah we're married in the podcast world but no i would love to go back to work um i'm still
licensed in arkansas just renew my license there so i need to get my license in tennessee
so I'm able to work.
I want to be able to work because I want to because I love what I do, not because I have to.
That's kind of my short term.
My long-term goals are always kind of undetermined.
Yeah.
And it's a little scary, but.
Yeah, but I said this on another podcast.
I can't remember if it was on mine or someone else's, but Jason was talking about, I think this is online.
Jason was talking about his like grandparents not understanding what he does.
And he was like, yeah, that means I'm doing something right.
and I hope when I'm older, I don't understand what my kids are doing because they're not following that blueprint.
It is very hard to explain.
Yeah.
And especially for not just my family, but everyone where I come from, they're like, wait, you're going to move and not have a PT job.
That is insane.
Yeah.
Why would you ever do that?
There's no security.
Absolutely.
Because it makes you happy and because you can.
Then that's enough reason.
I feel so lucky that I can even take a break from work right now and kind of clear my head and really figure out that that is what I love to do.
Yeah.
And just take this time for myself and take these trips and do all these fun things.
I can work forever.
And that, exactly.
And that will be where you're going to be on the right path because you're doing what makes you happy.
Right.
Bottom line.
Right.
That's, you will end up in the right place and you will do the right things because you're, you're not following the blueprint of what Arkansas says you should do.
Exactly. Yeah.
And I've convinced all my friends to quit their jobs.
But I do that too.
For the best.
Oh, yeah.
One of my best friends.
at home the biggest reason why it was so hard for me to leave um she actually i mean she put in her
notice just finished her last day and is doing a different career that it's going to be better for
her child and her future and i'm like get it girl there's no better time than now there are so many
ways to make money you don't have to do something that you're not so happy with even like people
who already have kids or moms who feel like you know well now i can't do this yes you can sit down and
what do you feel like writing a book
about motherhood or something like do whatever that your inner like your little heart is telling
you to do do it right i mean i'm totally on the same i know it's not it sounds easy but like
do it just do something that makes you happy and see where it takes you even if it doesn't bring
you money just your quality of life right or even if it's terrifying yeah it will be so much better
i totally agree like all the people who have these crazy stories are the biggest risk takers yeah
All the ones that have, you know, gone and done and end up being like, whoa, I got here.
I'm here.
I've arrived.
Right.
It's the people that have been terrified and scared and went outside of their comfort zone.
And it takes time, of course.
Yeah.
But you, that time would be going by anyway doing something you didn't enjoy.
And that's why you need to find such a solid group of, like, supportive women or if you're a man listening, I highly doubt it, there's like five.
But like, just a supportive group of people, you know, that will challenge you or, you know, encourage you.
And just having having that support system is huge.
Yeah.
We have this girl group in Nashville, which I'm forcing you to be a part of now.
Oh, I'm down.
Yeah.
Elena's in the group. It's, we're called the dirty bookers. Oh, perfect. Um, and we're just like, we say we're a book club. We're not. We just hang out of. Uh, but they're just, our group techs are usually group techs annoy me. This one just inspires the shit out of it. Oh. Put me in it. You're in. Okay. You're in. And everyone's just so championy.
each other. Is that a word championing? Sure. Sure. We champion each other. We champagne each other.
Champagne. We champagne each other. That too. I want to do big words. Okay. I leave that for Jason. He's the
well-spoken one, not me. But it's just so it's incredible to have a good group of people.
And again, that's going to just. I had that leaving home too, which was great. Like my friends were
sad for me to leave, but they were so encouraging and so excited for me to do something different.
you know, they didn't get to do or they won't ever, you know, be able to do it because they have
kids or whatever and they're rooted in Arkansas. They were rooting for me to come.
That's amazing. Because the last thing you need is someone trying to hold you back because they wish
they did it. Right. That's the whole thing I talk about with like empowerment and people want to
say they're empowering, but it's all in the actions and how you do it and actually, and having it
really make you happy. Like that's nice that your girlfriends are happy for you and encourage you to
do it. Rather be like, oh, no, be stuck with me. Right. Not that they're stuck, but I mean, you
I need to do that, but they also came and helped me pack.
So I'm like, okay, thank you.
That's so nice.
And how far is it from here?
Five hours.
It's drive a lot.
Drive, yeah.
Okay.
I'm like, Canadian, I don't know.
Yeah, there's no direct flight.
We'll be back with more Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow.
Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow.
I mean, you probably don't have any good embarrassing dating stories from Nashville because you've already been, you've only been here for two weeks.
But do you have any good confessions?
for me because it's that time of the podcast where we confess our sins.
I'm trying to think if I have one.
Anything in Nashville?
It doesn't matter.
Whatever, whatever something comes to your mind, that's something humiliating
that you want to confess to me.
Drink more wine if you need to think about it.
I don't know if I have anything as humiliating as last.
time i try not to put myself in those situations i have had a few moments well the last one was from moving
yes it was oh so this time yes yeah i knew there'd be something in there it was for moving i talked
about hiding all my all your dildos things sorry that we've all got them but you yeah i had them
even better this time a bag and a bag and a back and because you had labeled it something different
super important shit super important shit you labeled it
That's so funny.
This is another confession with packing.
Do you have another one?
No, there's not another.
Oh, okay.
I'm excited.
Then I was able to find them when I'm, it was fine.
Oh.
Well, what's your new one?
I have no stories with that, but it's been so long.
I feel like it's been 84 years since a man has been in this region.
Are there, are there, um, cobwebs?
There are.
It's terrifying.
Do you do laser hair removal, by the way?
I have.
Because if you haven't, I have someone for you in Nashville.
I meant to ask you because I need to do it all over again.
Oh, oh, why?
Because it came back.
Aggressively or just subtly?
Subtally, but it's annoying.
Yeah.
Because I paid all that money and went through all that pain.
Oh, yeah.
Is it painful where you go?
Yeah.
Oh, damn.
I mean, it doesn't tickle, but it's.
I thought it was pain free.
It's, I put, I slap some numbing cream on there and sometimes take a Xanax.
All over again.
Well, go to my girl.
Anne at Elan's skin.
She's amazing.
And she'll do your facials and stuff.
Yeah, it's so good.
All right.
So quick break, because if you're looking for a fun way to pass the time while engaging
your brain, which is very important, and enjoying breathtaking visuals and a gripping
story, I've got the answer for you, and it's Best Fiends.
All right.
So Best Fiends is a casual puzzle game, love puzzles, meaning you can spend as much or as little
time playing, but probably a lot, if we're being honest.
It's full of these really, really cute little characters, and they're actually
bugs. They're still so cute. I don't know how bugs are cute, but they are here.
But honestly, it's just so much fun to play and try to get to level after level. I personally
like to challenge my friends to see who can get to the furthest level. The quickest, I admit it,
I'm very competitive. Jason and I always said we'd be so good on Amazing Race because we're both
so competitive. I also love that Best Fiends engages your brain so you don't have to feel guilty
about playing all the time. You're just working out your brain. Duh. And another great thing about
the game is that it doesn't require Wi-Fi. So if you're traveling just in a spot where you can't
get internet, it's not a problem. It's truly a unique and exciting puzzle experience. Unlike any other
puzzle games out there, Best Fiends updates the game monthly with new levels and events, so it never
gets old, never gets boring. They truly treat the game like a service for their players, so they're
always making cool updates and adding new things to the game. Engage your brain with the fun puzzles
and collect tons of cute characters. Trust me, with over 100 million downloads,
this five-star rated mobile puzzle game is a must play download best fiends free on the apple
app store or google play that's friends without the r best fiends okay i'm trying to think of like a
confession for you me too me too um like no um no waxing stories no makeout drunk stories
i wish who doesn't love a good drunk makeout no i can't even get that what right come on
No, I swear.
Because you're picky, which is good.
Yeah.
That's good.
Yeah, I guess.
But it's like I go after the people that aren't really interested and like, don't.
And I'm like, look, I'm not trying to date you.
I just want to make out with you.
Do you not see this?
Usually people want that.
This is like the most that I have.
Okay.
I knew I would like spark something in there.
But it's not a good makeout.
I wish it was, but it wasn't.
um so this guy that i actually did go out with here yeah once yeah um everything was fine it was
great conversation was great and then it just went from like everything to nothing like super fast
on your partner hits uh his mostly but then it just kind of fizzled out yeah so i saw him in town
oh god last weekend and we just never really had good closure so we never really established like where
we were leaving off like i knew we were friendly whatever hey how are you good to see you okay so
we're getting in an uber to go to the next place and he like found a girl at the bar and like had her
in the same uber as you guys was in nope and another guy no sir good thing daniel was in the car
oh bless her heart and she was like tia you deserve way more i'm like i know yeah i know but it was
just a little how it was just a little fling it was a little fling it was fine me and him were not
like talking on that level yeah but what a douche canoe move it was so awkward but how how socially
stupid do you have to be to think that was a good idea i don't know how drunk you are right
there's and i'm just in the back of the car like hi did this girl no no oh it's even she found
out okay she found out and she was like uh i'm in
innocent in this situation.
Oh, good for her.
Oh, I would have been crying.
Oh, me too.
I was saying, in my head.
I'm like, good for her.
She stood her ground and was like, I'm sorry, but I, I'm like, yeah, girl, you.
That's actually really funny.
Yeah.
So how long was this Uber ride?
I have questions.
So we were going downtown.
Yeah.
We didn't make it to where we wanted to be because the person in the front seat was like,
I'm getting out of this car ride.
You should have been Instagram on Instagram live.
I was like a deer in headlights.
I was just stunned.
Everyone's looking at me.
I'm like,
I got nothing.
The heck.
I got nothing to say.
What a dumb, dumb.
But then,
because I'm dumb and...
Well, he's dumber.
I haven't had any action in a while.
Yeah.
So...
The cobwebs right.
Right.
We get to the next place.
Everything's fine.
He comes back without the girl.
So then we all end...
Try to wheel you?
What?
Oh, that's a Canadian thing.
Did you try to wheel you, like, get in there?
No, no, he didn't.
But I still try to text him when I got home.
No!
Yeah.
But I didn't know until the next day.
I'm like, I didn't mean what I said.
You're like, take it back.
I take it all back.
That's so funny.
But remember that I don't want to date you.
Just want to make out.
Yes.
Yeah.
Gosh.
So that was that.
You know what?
We'll wash away your sins with the wine.
Thank you.
And we all forgive you.
And we've all been there.
Maybe not that certain situation, but we've all made dumb, drunk mistakes.
Yes.
Because then I automatically feel like I have to apologize the next day.
I hate waking up feeling dumb or guilty or like, excuse my behavior.
Yeah.
It won't happen again.
It might.
But we can't promise.
No promises.
I'm trying to think of a good one because I'm like on that same note.
Like the other day, I remember waking up and Jason was.
was kind of annoyed at me.
And I'm like, ooh, did I see something last night?
Oh, it happens.
Yeah.
And you just don't even know or remember.
That's the worst.
Yeah, I don't know what I don't know what I said.
When it has to be explained to you later.
And he's such a guy to let it go where I'm like, I don't want to ask and bring it up.
Because then he'll be like, yeah, you're.
It'll start all over.
Yeah, it'll start all over.
And then you don't want him to be harboring anything.
Yeah, that's true too.
He's not a big harborer.
I'm just an overanilizer, though.
Me too.
Are you, um, do you?
do you get really emotional on your period?
Oh yeah, I'm on it now.
Oh, me too.
Yeah.
Sink up, sister?
Yeah.
Kay, do you get super emotional?
Yes.
It literally, last night, I overthought everything everybody said.
Yep.
And then you go back to not period life and you're like, oh.
Wow.
What a joke.
Yeah.
It's not fair.
It's not fair.
I did all this blood work the other day.
My testosterone, my estrogen, my progesterone, like did it all to be like, what's wrong
with me right i can't put anyone through this anymore especially myself no see i'm not either so i
stopped because i felt like it was making me nuts oh yeah birth control i not we're not friends on paradise
i started a new birth control i cried exactly that is brave the pharmacy changed it so then i
cried every day on paradise i feel like i was on my period the whole time on paradise so then
after that after my last relationship I was like you know what I'm off of it yeah so I feel like
all that is kind of back balancing out but I am still emotional dang man birth control is the devil
being a woman is really a bitch it's like the most rewarding but also the most challenging right
and I wish I always wish Jason's getting better because I mean he grew up with a brother
he kind of like his his mom is so awesome and positive
and happy and like she's just so wonderful that I'm like shit that's what I want to be
I wish I could be Dale Tardick but I'm just like so emotional and so it's like this is all
kind of new for him and I'm like well what you've dated another girl for like four years yeah was she
perfect right why she's so much better right all I hear about her great she's like
I'm like freak I'm with you now what's the wrong with you I'm like yeah but what was she
like oh she went to harvard oh okay she did not cry one tear nope and i have a high school
graduation it's okay i'm doing just fine it's fine it's fine everything's fine i'm trying to think
of a good confession but honestly i know i feel like there has to be no you had a good one but it's
nothing like that serious my driving in nashville is piss poor oh you need to tighten up your game
then because i hate bad drivers in nashville oh i ran a red light one day
Tia booth. Right in front of my apartment. I've cut at least four U-turns. Oh, boy. I mean, on the way here today, I was not used to the big city in Nashville. God knows where. Sometimes I make notes in my phone of confessions.
Oh, I can't wait. Oh, what is it? Oh, my God. I was out the other night in Buffalo. And in Buffalo, you drink and you eat. That's, you know, it's two things that I'm very powerful.
passionate about I'm very good at and I did that and I remember saying something I remember being like oh I got to write that down for a confession and I didn't think I did and the other day I was like what was I saying I just looked at my notes I wrote it down oh my God I'm dying this is so funny forgive me Lord for I've sinned that Jason don't listen to this I was 22 I think I was 22 and I had a serious case of bacterial vaginosis oh boy yeah oh boy it was
not fun. I had met this guy. Was I even 22? I don't remember. I was young. And he was like
so cute and so good looking and so successful and such a good family. And he was just the full
package. And I just didn't know. We had been dating for a while now and I would not hook up with
him. Right. Because I was like, well, no, and you can, it's awful. Smelly. It's. Smelly.
it's it really is it's disgusting and it's not our fault it's not it's not you with me i swear i promise
you it's not you it's not me it's my vagina betrayed me it really did it betrayed me so hard and i was
like i don't know what to say to the point where he actually broke up with me thinking i had an
std because i started talking about yeah and i didn't because he started being like look this is getting weird
And so I had to tell him something.
I was like, I have a bacterial infection because I felt so bad that he was like,
what's wrong with this?
And I was like, I've got a bacteria.
And then he was like, yo.
Yeah, got to go.
That sounds like it's forever.
Yeah.
I got to go.
He was literally like, hmm, it's been a couple weeks.
So got to go.
GTG.
It was humiliating.
And I wanted to like bring him the doctor's note.
I swear
I have BV
I have BV
it's not an SDD
It's common
It's weird of yeast infection
Right
I mean it's in the same
Oh my gosh
And I hope he's listening today
Because
I hope his wife
I can vouch
It was real
It was real
And I still to the day
It still haunts me
That he probably thinks
I had an STD
Yeah
Like he used to come into the restaurant
that I worked at too after and you could tell there's always like still something but he'd be like
damn she had an STD and you know he told his friends totally he told all of his friends
yeah yeah so that sucks I was like I'm glad I wrote that down because I'm like wait what was
in my notes and I'm like look this is what the notes said BV it said having BV when I was
dating a guy and he told everyone I had an S TV dang god yeah
Okay, I wish I would have forgot about that one.
Anyways, we're going to play a game.
Yeah, don't think about it too much.
It's haunted me for about 12 years now.
Okay.
All right, everyone, the next sponsor's name truly says it all.
Fab Fit Fun.
That's right.
I'm talking about the premium women subscription box that everyone is absolutely in love with.
Their mission is to deliver happiness and well-being to everyone, everywhere,
and they definitely live by those words, delivering a little bit of whatever it is that you need
or want in your life.
So for me, some of the things that help me live a life that is fab, fit, and fun are my
skincare routine that I make sure to follow every day, eight steps, everybody knows that,
trying to eat my best, move my body, watching Grey's Anatomy.
I'm still only on season six.
How am I still there?
Which even though I binge off and just seems like it'll go on forever.
Like I said, still on season six.

Every box includes 8 to 10 full-size items, ranging from beauty, my favorite, home decor, okay, wait, my beauty tie, to apparel, jewelry, and so much more.
It's just such an amazing way to discover your new favorite things and products.
I've actually discovered some of my favorite beauty products and brands in general that I probably wouldn't have found without FabFit fun.
And even little items around my house like a blanket, yoga mat, I find it there.
I also just look forward to opening the box when I get it, anybody else.
It's like a present from me to me.
Thank you, Caitlin.

but Caitlin and Jen both said he's bad.
I'm like, Jen.
When did that happen?
I'm not confirming or denying anything, but you should see how he treated Caitlin and Jen.
I'm like, is that what they said?
Oh, these DMers are nutso.
Oh, man.

With the shared photo of.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Okay.
You and Caitlin have matching tattoos.
How dare you?
Oh, well, you know what?

and they were nervous because i wasn't responding so i said they're like are you already gone
a boom ring of the off the vine oh perfect that's amazing um last google search oh what's mine
oh i see i don't know my phone's over there you can pull it up if you want i'm going to look up mine
history it could be the address to your house and what's the day well okay but it has to be oh mine is
acrylic coffee table oh my gosh that's boring it is mine is who is mr clark in gray's anatomy
i was like oh my have you watched it no what afraid to get invested because i'm so far behind now
Yeah, but I just started like two months ago.
And you're caught up?
No?
I'm not even close.
See, here's the thing is I watched.
Mr. Clark was on season six.
I watch shows like the office that I can just have on in the background.
So if I fall asleep, it's not a big deal.
No, I love.
But if I get sucked into a show like Gray's is I actually have to focus and.
That's true.
Do you always waste a lot of my time?
Yeah.
And I shouldn't have because last night was a doozy and I had nightmares.
Well, yeah, I messaged you late.
And you answered.
I was shocked that you were...
Well, because Pino had to go to the hospital.
Otherwise, I would have been sleeping.
We were very upset.
Yeah.
I was not okay.
I had to put on Gray's anatomy, which would fuck me up even more.
I was like crying in my bed being like, oh, God, he has a tumor and he's going to die and the surgeons aren't going to be able to help him.
Yeah, he's okay now.
Thank God.
But it is the worst.
I can't.
Yeah.
I cannot handle when the pups are sick.
Yeah.
Because you're like, talk to me.
What's wrong?
What's going on?
Why is your body doing this?
Did you eat a tampon?
Yeah.
Something wrong.
Which dogs do.
Oh, that's what mine did when she was sick the last time.
I thought she had like a blockage.
Yeah, I remember talking to you about that.
She had a tampon?
Yes, she does it regularly, though, but she always poops it out.
Oh.
But they think that she could have had, yeah, like some kind of blockage.
So then she was puking and like waking me up like a newborn at 3 a.m.
To go outside, it was.
That's rough.
Oh, yeah.
Just a quick tampon snack.
Jesus.
I know you.
love me, but damn.
My dogs are savages.
Who eats tampons?
All right.
So if this is not your first time listening to this podcast, you've probably heard me talk
about the next sponsor, one of my absolute faves.
That's third love.
So let me tell you why, because I like being comfortable, one.
And third love does bras differently.
They believe every woman deserves to feel comfortable and confident, and that's definitely
something I can support.
Support.
The bras are designed to fit you and your body, not the other way around.
and they have over 80 bra sizes, so you can be 100% certain that there's one right for you.
Every bra is backed by their perfect fit promise, which means you get 60 days to wear it,
wash it.
If you don't love it, you can return it for free, and they're going to donate it to a woman in need,
which is so incredible.
Another thing I love about Third Love bras is that they mold to my bod, and their sizes and labels
are actually printed on the bra itself, so there's none of that itchy, scratchy tags,
or anything getting in the way of your comfort.
I actually don't know how I could go back after wearing it.
these. So here's how you can get started and find your own new favorite part. You go to their
website, take the fit finder quiz, answer a few simple questions to find your perfect fit in just
60 seconds. There's over 15 million women who have taken the quiz to date. It's actually
kind of fun. It takes less than a minute to complete, so it's super easy, and the quiz helps
you identify your breast size and shape and find styles that fit your body. This is hands down,
the most comfortable bra you'll ever own. So go get on it, Vanos. Third Love knows. There's
perfect bra for everyone so right now they are offering my listeners 15% off your first order go to
third love.com slash vine now to find your perfect fitting bra and get 15% off your first purchase that's
third love.com slash vine for 15% off today um okay last uh big purchase you made how big
I mean I do not I'm very frugal me too I'm so frugal and I'm just like
I'm generous, but I'm frugal.
Right.
Yeah.
Like I like to save my money.
I don't, even when I have money, I'm like, how do I invest or save or do something smart with this?
I'm throwing it all in savings.
Yeah.
I mean, I've bought furniture for my place.
I would consider that.
Furniture is expensive.
Yeah.
But are you a bag girl?
Like, you like buying bags?
No.
I have no designer bags.
Me either.
Because, I don't know.
Like, if I'm going to take it to a place and have to set it on the floor in the bathroom,
yeah which i could spend a thousand dollars on a couch right and not which bags are probably
more than a thousand dollars i don't know what i really love to do is just have pockets and stick
my id in a lip gloss in there it's amazing i hate bags i love a backpack though it's so functional
traveling no just i carry a backpack as a purse huh oh like a cute one not like a like a yeah
no i'm trying not to insult any brands i'm like not like a like a big duffel backpack oh no no no no no
Like a small,
huge one.
But I just,
I love to put my money in savings.
My fucking rent is about to be a big purchase.
That's the biggest one.
Well,
what's your like guilty pleasure with spending money?
What I spend the most money on is drinking and eating.
My two favorite pastimes.
That's okay.
It's great.
I really don't.
Yeah.
But if like if I,
like right now when I'm looking for stuff for my new apartment,
it's not that I have a budget,
but if I can find something that is $200 instead of $600,
I'm going to take.
the time to look for it like i will spend that money on that because i know i have it but i'm
gonna shop for a better deal yeah like when you're in the frugal mcdougal i don't know
yeah but that's good you're setting yourself up for success like i would rather oh so like not long
ago i just i bought flights for my family we were all going to atlanta see generous but frugal
yeah like i would rather spend five hundred dollars on a flight yeah for my mom yeah
than to go by a bag or something.
I don't know.
That's sweet.
More about experiences, I guess.
Let me ask.
I would never be able to do that.
Let me ask you this.
When you're in the grocery store and you're buying chicken, and there's a chicken, two chicken breasts, boneless, skinless.
Yes.
And it's 1199.
Yeah.
But do you look into the back for an 1150 one and take that instead just to save yourself 20?
Yeah.
Yep.
When you're in the bread aisle, are you like, Jesus Christ, $3.99 for a love of bread, but then buy a bottle at a bar and not think twice.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just if there's a cheaper option, I'm probably going to go for it.
Yeah.
Even if it saves you 20 cents.
Yeah.
God, I am officially 85 years old.
No, I always laugh at myself for this in grocery stores.
I'm literally like, sometimes we feed the dogs, it boiled.
chicken if they have like upset tummies and I'm like I would have spent like $500 on everybody
last night dinner and drinks and felt nothing and then the next sorry that's like a little bit
of a humble brag but also like but you do do that the last time we had the podcast you refused to
let us pay I love I love doing that stuff yeah and then especially when you're coming as a guest
on my podcast like I want to treat people I but then I'm in the grocery store buying the boys chicken
and I'm like I want them to have good chicken but if I'm
I'm going to see one for $11.99 and there's one behind it for $11.30. I'm getting that one.
They're eating their own asses. I mean, they don't care about the nicest chicken.
Ramen literally just went outside just to eat Ramos puk. He was like, get me outside. And I was like, oh, he's really got to go. No, he just wanted to eat Pino's Puk. Okay. Yeah. You know what? I'm going into the rapid fire questions and then we're done. Oh, okay. Okay. Favorite part so far about living in Nashville?
very walkable everyone's been so nice so welcoming everybody is so nice okay next trip you're
going to go on with me Australia gosh that's going to be fun favorite current celebrity
crush oh it's rapid huh mm-hmm first thing of Kennedy ah yeah that's a good one that's a good one
yeah it has to be the first thing that comes to your mind favorite piece of advice you've ever
received. Oh, I'm not good at rapid. Well, that's as rapid as you can. There's not a stopwatch here.
Okay. There's been so much good advice. Um, okay, Raven is like the best advice. She's a little guru.
She told me, right. Like, so after my last relationship, I told her I felt dumb or like I was wasting time or it was
another filled relationship but she said
every failed relationship
is getting you to the right one
it's so true it's so cheesy
but like this broken road that
you have been on is leading you
to where you're supposed to be
and and who
I love to hear stories of the people that have gotten there
and all that because nobody is like
yep found the one
unless you are like one of the lucky ones
but that's which is a lot of people
where I'm from oh okay okay okay
they've been with the same person forever are they the happiest
maybe not like i would rather wait 10 more years and be single and wait for the right one
and god bless those people that found their one in high school because right what a beautiful
thing if you can find somebody in high school and grow with them exactly instead of a part and
make it work god that's a beautiful thing very rare though very rare yeah like even the girls
on the show now it doesn't seem like 23 and 28 or so far apart but i learned so much about myself
in those years in that period of time so true that's that's great advice i love raven so much
She's the best.
She is.
Biggest regret from your time on the franchise.
Going to Ari and talking about another girl.
Oh, I don't even remember that.
But it was just, it was very brief.
Like when I, this season, all the girls did it.
But when I was on, it was very, very taboo and wrong.
But there was a, you know, a younger girl in my season.
And I just, I don't know what came over me.
I felt the need to tell him like, hey, I don't know.
You're trying to protect him.
him you're trying to fix truly i was and looking back i was like holy molly that probably wasn't a
great move but at the time it felt right so what i've changed it no but it is one thing that i'm like
that's that's allowed i have many regrets uh just kidding um okay a couple more one thing you want to
cross off your bucket list last list this year um i'll love to go skydiving oh i'll go with you
i would love to go skydiving i've never done it i'm terrified of heights but i just want to
do it just to say hell yeah i did it yeah it's um it's the one thing that you can do where you
you literally are so in the moment skydiving right you cannot think about anything else but just
like free falling like am i going to die yeah the worst part is actually going up in the plane
and realizing that you agreed to it even if you're buzzed your buzz is gone yeah toast and then i might
pass out yeah but i can still say i did it that's true okay let's do it okay when's your birthday
August 11th.
August 11th.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm going to keep that in mind.
Don't hate me when we go.
No, August 11th, I come pick you up to go sky.
I will.
I'll be the forcer.
All right, everybody, take a sip on the bright side with the new Dunkin Macha Lates.
Try the refreshing combination of sweeten matcha green tea blended with creamy milk and you can enjoy
it iced, hot, or frozen.
It's a delicious way to hit the reset button on your day.
I personally absolutely love Duncan and,
pretty much everything they have to offer.
But this is possibly my favorite thing on the menu right now.
I'm a very big fan of macha, which is essentially taking green tea leaves, blending them
into a powder.
It's so, so good and also just something new when I'm craving a drink other than coffee.
Also, you can, of course, get it with your choice of milk.
So I do it with dairy-free milk alternatives, and it's the perfect drink to sip when I'm
going out and about my day.
Plus, since it comes hot, iced or frozen, I can choose how I want it depending on the
temperature and that day because I'll say it again Nashville weather is cray. It is also just a
delicious way to drink something delicious. Enjoy a refreshing matcha latte Duncan today. America runs on
Duncan. Price and participation may vary limited time offer. And then last one, what is your ideal
first date? Ideal first date, uh, I can't really envision like a certain activity or like anything
I would want to do. I can't say if I just want to do dinner or actually do something active, but an ideal first date
would be feeling like I'm on the same page with someone and someone is super interested in the
things that I'm interested in in a relationship and in a future.
Yeah.
It's been a long time since I felt like I'm on the same page with someone for the future as a couple.
It is hard to come across.
Right.
I mean, everybody's at such different stages in their life and what they want.
And I just feel like it is hard to come across that person.
But yeah, I say that, but I found.
it like so quick well yeah but like in the also a thing about a first date is like now in this day
we're talking to someone so much in dms and in text and then you get to a first date and it's like
well i kind of know these things about you like i would love to actually get to know someone actually
on the date ramen i'm saying good shit yeah you're interrupting a deep thought ramen sorry
okay what was the last thing you said
same page yeah we want to be on the
the same page yeah um do you have like a do you have um deal breakers or like non-negotiables where
they're like that you can't unless you're the bachelorette you can't like be on a reality show um
deal breakers if they i don't know i feel like i'm very flexible and that i'm very open to like
multiple different types of people but deal breaker would be someone that is so into themselves
that they can't like a narcissist yeah
narcissists not into that I've had those yeah I'm not into that that that's about the only thing
like a lot of other things I can understand and I can like meet you in that place and kind of go from
there but that's good or like if you give a shit about a following on social media like that's
it's the word unless it's like you know an actual career move where you're like I'm passionate to
do this and build and blah blah blah if you're
like oh god i'm dropping followers what do i do to get attention like you know what i mean it has to be a healthy
yeah i totally hear you someone to be obsessed with me yeah you cannot be obsessed with yourself because i need
you to be obsessed with me i need all of your attention not on instagram thank you are you the type
that um goes like it you see who the guys are following because it says a lot about a person yep yeah
i would too yep when i first met jason i was like really you follow a thousand people who are they oh yeah
but it's interesting to see who people follow it is and for someone to say oh i'm not a fan of
the show i don't watch the show and then i see who they follow i'm like ravin interesting
kaelin bristow calin interesting okay explain yourself yep um okay so usually at the end
of my podcast i do uh i give away an instagram me for people just like a good account to follow
that's good to like when you scroll and you just need to be like ah yes that one so who's your
favorite person to follow on Instagram. Oh, that's a great question. I'll tell you mine.
You can think about it. People always think I can cut other people off, but I'm just giving you time,
okay? Okay. Yeah, go ahead. I want to shout out the Instagram account at self-care is for everyone,
and honestly, the handle really does say it all. They describe their account as a space that honors the
importance of choosing self-care over self-harm. I love and admire the mission. Their feet is,
first of all, beautiful. It includes quotes, drawings, and stats that demonstrate how to
practice self-care why self-care is so important and like they say it's for everyone it's
really beautiful thing i like it yeah so give everyone giving them a follow let me know what you think
okay what is what is the page i follow i know it's a good one i just can't think of it is it the dad
one oh that actually neat dad is a great you know i think i've given them an instagram me before to be
honest i really think i have but there's also that one that is the very empowering quotes
