Okay, let's talk about the original enemies to lovers story. Before all of our reality TV couples, before the rom-coms, we binge, there was Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy in pride and prejudice. And Audible has just dropped a brand new original that will have you completely hooked, I am. It's not just any audiobook. This is a full cast performance. So Marisa Abella, you might know her from industry, brings Elizabeth Bennett to life.

And Harris Dickinson from Baby Girl and Where the Crawdads sing is Mr. Darcy. And honestly, the chemistry, you guys, it's everything. Plus, you've got icons like Glenn Close, Bill Nye and Will Polter in the mix. Talk about a dream cast. Now, what I love is how Marissa pulls you right into Lizzie's world, her stubbornness, her wit, her messy family dynamics, and of course, her complicated feelings for Darcy. And with a vibrant new adaptation and original score by Grammy-nominated composer, it just feels so fresh and modern while still keeping that timeless Jane Austen charm.

So whether it's your first time experiencing Pride and Prejudice or you've read it a million times, you're going to fall absolutely in love all over again. So go listen to Pride and Prejudice now at audible.ca slash Jane Austen. This week's off the vine is sponsored by GEICO.

Get ready for lots of last tabby topics, on filtered advice, and wine. Lots of wine.

Get ready to shake things up. Here's Caitlin. I did a video kind of spoofing Karen's, like, yeah, which is the amazing part of. Are we rolling? Are we just? You know what? Yeah, we might as well. We're rolling.

Tell me about the video. I did of Karen. Yeah, I did like a, yeah, because we're always trying to, like, make videos what's happening. So Karen's was big, and I, so I made the spoof of Karen's, like, ordered the whole little, like, wig and just, like, went into the Target parking lot and yelled at people. But it was funny because my mom's name is Karen. Poor woman. I literally told her last night. She's like, I don't like this.

She's a nice lady, but she's like, like, what? She said she had, like, some, like, the cable guy was over or something, like to help him fix something in the house. And I guess the guy was like, Karen, huh? Like, what's it like having that name right now? And I feel for her, because she's like, doesn't even understand like, what's, like, why is Karen a big deal right now? And I'm like, she's Karen, but not a Karen is what I tried to say. And I was like, mom, I'm posting this video. Karen's be like.

And so I feel like I'd explain it for you because she watches everything I do. And she'd be like, why are you making fun of me? I'm like, no, it's not. It's a whole thing, Karen. Yeah, it is a whole thing. But I guess I could probably do your intro so people know. They're like, who's doing what video now about Karen? So I'll do your intro.

Sure. I'm speaking with a comedian, YouTuber, overall, hilarious content creator. He also hosts his own podcast called Correct Opinions, where every opinion is correct in his opinion. He has over 78 million views on his YouTube channel where he posts short videos on everything from moms to Karen's to middle schoolers to boyfriends to couples. In addition to being an entertainer,

he is also a musician, has two books, he's a fiance and he's here today to share his story of how he got to where he is to discuss what's next. So please welcome to the podcast, Trey Kennedy. Did you like that? That was a good intro. That was one take just flew through it. That was great. Thanks for having me. I'm a Loki fan girl. I have to say I've been a huge, first of all, Bachelor fan for ever. And then, like, I've, and you know, so many people are. I told a few people I was coming on your podcast. So like, oh my gosh. And then And it's cool to see, like, people like you from the franchise, like, you know, having a podcast, like doing cool stuff beyond that.

So, yeah, it's fun. Thanks for having me. Please tell me you've done, like, a Bachelor video. I actually, I don't think I have. I've done plenty of kind of, like, spoofing all my stories or something, but I haven't had, like, a dedicated video, which I really should. I don't know. I think mainly because it would involve, I guess, any idea would probably involve a lot of other

woman in the video and only know like four so you can pretend to the final four right that's okay that's helpful yeah know what you should hire me i could be your producer i know right there all right well keep you uh keep who in mind when we we write the bachelor video um yeah i just feel like it'd be so funny it's so funny even just talking to you because i always watch your videos and now i'm like like sometimes i do an impression of a female as you like doing a female like you're female nice I find myself not around the house because it's so funny. But you started on the app Vine, right? Yeah.

Yes. That was, man, it's been like seven years ago, but yeah. That's so crazy. Do you know? Off the Vine. It's what I remind you of. See? Do you know Matt Kuttschel and Ariel Vandenberg?

Yeah, he's, me and Matt have the same manager and we've like become, back from the Vine days, like making vines together when I would come out to L.A. and we just always kind of remain buddies and I always, we still try to collab, we haven't a lot of time for obvious reasons but I know that and Ariel pretty well they're the best. Do they come on the pod? Yeah, they're like great friends of mine and they come on

all the time. Oh really? Yeah. Oh, cool. Yeah. Arielle, I feel like we're like kind of cut from the same cloth like we have the same sense of humor and like I also am very animated and I'm not as funny as her, that's for damn sure, but like she's also just such a sweet soul. Like I always have like a girl crush on her because I always talk about her. But I feel like her and Matt both are so funny, but they have like the best hearts at the same time. Yeah, the best. I feel I was great. Because I, when I first came to L.A., you know, because I was Vine Kid in Oklahoma who was blowing up. And now I was supposed to go to L.A. or something.

So I was terrified. And Matt was the dude I was going to like collaborate with, you know, because that's what we're all about doing. And I was, and Matt's like this good looking. And he's a few years older than me. He was like, he was conquering Vine. He was in a cool house and I was terrified and he was just like the nicest guy in the world to me. That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I was, but I just remember he had a, he like had this model come over to the video with us and I was like, I was all I could do to talk to Matt, let alone the model. I was just like them way, way over my head to air, but that was a good first experience. This is LA. Okay. I can do it. It was, she was, uh, she, I guess she'd been a playboy. They were talking about it. And I was like this sheltered Oklahoma kid. And she was like,

there's a playboy party, you guys should come. And I was like, I need my mom. Yeah. You're like, why didn't I'm scared? I have, yeah. It was, yeah, it was, that was hilarious first experience. But yeah, we've, we've been in touch and always try to hang when I'm around. Do you just, like, hate the concept of TikTok now?

Because, in my opinion, like, Vine people were so creative. And there are a lot of creative people on TikTok, don't get me wrong. There's so many cool things out there. But it's so funny because, the people who were blowing up on Vine were like hilarious and like um entertainers and now people blowing up on TikTok like just due to elbow like nudges and a shimmy like 10 million views yeah they feels like a cheap comparison like because yeah vine was so i feel like vine in a lot of ways youtube was around but vine kind of births this weird influencer thing and like because

vine was out before instagram had video it was only photos and you know podcast one related thing. It was just a bunch of random kids. It was cool because no celebrity was on it. All the biggest creators were just like random kids, random people. So I miss that, but TikTok's growing on me, but it is, it's still a strange space. I mean, I've murdered a few of the dance moves, but it's also growing on me. One, because I grew up dancing, so I actually really do love doing like the complicated dances, but I also just, I use it for like, like, I love. Like, I love. cooking tips on there and funny. There's

some really funny stuff out there. Is there someone that you love following in particular? Yeah, you mentioned cooking. I've almost has this dude named Joshua Weissman. He does cooking videos. Check him out. He's on the YouTube and I, it's just bizarre. I have no place to cook anything he's talking about, but I just enjoy watching

it. But TikTok is just perfectly made to just never put it down. Oh, it's actually a problem. My girl. Wait, you, you, you, you danced, like, competitively growing up, like the competitions and all of that? I did.

My sister did were, like, a year apart, and I, the amount of times I sat there, I was like, no, I don't want to go. Did you have a brother? No, I had a sister, and she felt like in a way, like, she was not a dancer, and it was just always, like, every single weekend, dance competitions, you had to drive, you know, wherever to go to these dance competitions, and then the costumes and the hair, and, which Is your mom a dance mom? No, she's not a Karen or dance mom.

Oh, wow. So she, uh, Karen, who is a dancer as a child and she's not a dance mom and she's not a classic Karen. That's incredible. Yeah, it's kind of a diamond in the rough, really. But the dance recitals, I just remember always like, I don't want to be here. And as I like slowly got older, it was like, oh, it's so annoying. But then the like the high school girls had come out to dance.

I was like, oh, I'm kidding. changing but it was that's when you went from a boy to a man that was at your dance competitions yeah it should be I understand there's a difference competition recital I should stop saying recital that's amazing it's a huge difference huge difference yeah recital is just your family and friends right you're real deal yeah it's the real deal that's the real deal that's hilarious you dance at all no I uh I've I've I like to think so I've done a few of the TikTok dances I've I've talked about how Do what?

The savage. I'm a savage. So I like through the guise of like making girls on TikTok be like because I didn't want to straight up just dance myself. And I got so many more views than any of my videos on TikTok. And I was like, well, I'll do it again. And they got so many more. I was like, oh no.

I have like being forced into being a TikTok dancer. And I did, I think I've done three. And they all have like over a million views. I'm like, I don't know if I want to go down this path. I kind of do. I hate how much I do want to. You totally enjoy it. Yeah, for sure.

It was funny because after the second, I made two videos like, girls would be like, and then on the second one, they're like, this guy just wants to dance. Like, we see through this. So the third one, I didn't do it. I was like, I'm just going to hit this. And they're like, nice. Let's take a quick break.

You can download new episodes every Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Podcasts One. Now back to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow.

You also have a podcast. Tell me about that. Actually, before I move on to the podcast, I want to know, were you always, did you always grow up wanting to be like, like, did you entertain your family and always have that sense of humor? Or was that something that grew on you? No. Well, I was always the funny. guy. Like my dad was always the funny guy, like, but very, very shy. So if you were like one of my

close, close friends, I was goofing funny, but painfully shy. And a lot of I still am, but you came on my shell over years, but I, I never, yeah, without social media, like, making vines in the privacy of my, like, bedroom. Yeah. I would have never been doing any of this, so. But as a, like, you're considered a comedian. Have you ever done, like, live? like stand up or anything in front of people yeah yeah that's that's what's been crazy about this because i was like vine famous and like people were like what is this guy doing and then i was instagram or influencer and now people are calling me comedian and now i i i we did um i've been doing stand up for like a year year and a half now like getting into never never thought i would do that but

um get into that and then we got to the point where i had my show and we launched a tour um in the spring and on like night two is when like tom hanks announced he had coronavirus and like the world shut down and so we just had to pull the plug so um bummer because yeah i was excited to kind of be be more than just like on youtube and facebook and have like a touring comedy acts the energy of a live audience too but i mean how do you how do you get through that fear like because if you're painfully shy growing up like you know you have but then you And the black comedians are, which is interesting, but how did you break that and have the confidence to get into that? I've had a series of those moments, like, where the first time, my college, weirdly, I made friends with, like, kind of like musically, artistically talented with friends.

Because growing up, it was just all sports. And then in college, I had this big shift where I had these friends doing this. And they convinced me, like, you're talented, you can sing, you're funny. And I got into this kind of, like, world in college doing the singing. like improv groups and stuff like that but the first time i did that i was like i mean it's just the i didn't eat that day it was like the singing in front of 100 people i was terrified and then the yeah then i get to this point and i have an agent stuff like we could we think he could sell tickets to a show i was like what show and i wanted to like do something i was proud of so i was

like i got to do stand-up and they booked me a set and uh i mean my wife can attest i spent I don't know how many hours just like repeating this 10 minutes set 10 minutes said and just scares I've ever been but and thank God it uh I wouldn't say it went great but it didn't go bad so I was willing to do it again and again wait you're married yeah not a fiance anymore correct yeah as of just a few weeks ago so we so you're trying that's been weird for you to say wife there yes for sure if I feel so old I feel it's and we had to do the whole like you know we did a quarantine wedding thing so it was like we ended up we were able to have 20 people involved like the like the week of it went

from 10 to 20 so we were gonna like we were gonna like cut a couple of our brothers or something but we did we were able like have the whole family involved uh because she is a large family and it was it was kind of special its own way to just have like this small small thing I feel like it's kind of a blessing in disguise with the the quarantine weddings because sometimes people lose all sight of the wedding day and what is right and I feel like when it's the quarantine it's like all you have there are the closest people to you exactly yeah like more about what what marriage is probably about so that's yeah that's crazy um yeah i can't even i feel like i would enjoy a quarantine wedding like i've really enjoyed in in general really yeah okay are you like

so are you more introverted or this is a funny debate i've had with so many people because if you ask my friend he says i'm an introvert and if you ask anyone else my family family, my friends, they're like, no, Caitlin is the biggest extrovert because, and I feel like I'm like a weirdo who's kind of both. Like, I love being an extrovert, but I also like love staying home and not interacting with anybody. Like, I go. Okay. So, but what would you, so I've always heard it's like, what if you're tired, what do you gravitate towards? So like, I'm an extrovert. If I'm kind of worn out, like, I need, I need a kick. I want to go hang out with, like, 10 of my good friends.

Or are you like, if you've done a lot, you're like, I just need to go sit alone. Yeah, I just want to shut it down and be by myself. Okay. Yeah, I would probably call it intro rid of them. But if I go, if I push myself and go to be with those friends and do it, I'm like, oh, this is awesome. Why am I not doing this all the time?

And I, like, love every second of it. Yeah. So sometimes you want to be alone. Sometimes you want to be friends. Like, yeah. I'm very confused. same. Yeah. Well, I think, yes, all of us. Yeah, that's true. Okay, tell me about your podcast and how you came up with it. And how do you come up with

the ideas behind your videos and for your podcasts? Like, do they just come through your life? Or is it like a writing process you do? Yeah. So, yeah, my podcast, Great Opinions. It's like a solo show. I just kind of rant for 45 minutes. And, uh, that's tough. I think, yeah, it's, I've gone back and forth. Now I feel like I have some of the groove and I like it. I think it's helpful and it pushes me. It's a good practice of like my, because I don't write 45 minutes of material. You know, I just like have topics and try to joke about them. So right. I think that's, you know, people, people listen and trying to always make it better. But that was kind of birth because a lot of my content is just, yeah, what's happening. I'm trying to just find what, um, it's kind of happened

to the everyday average person and like finding humor so uh you know the podcast or you know i wouldn't have a podcast and um like i said i live in the midwest so i'm not i guess in the corona where it's cool we can do a lot of these like virtual guesting but you know i'm not having uh there's no one famous in the midwest i could have i could like interview my mailman or something but so i was like i'm just the same of those those are kind of fun yeah i got my mom She was, like, everybody's favorite guest. Okay, that's good to know, yeah, because I thought of, part of me is like, what if I had a podcast? Like, this is my roommate, Ryan, where he's in supply chain.

Yeah, there's sort of a podcast. One topic and going around to. True. So, yeah, I just kind of, try to have an experience, or we have people will send in what they want me to talk about and just kind of. that's so hard to do i find it i've done a couple podcasts just on my own and after oh yeah five minutes i'm like so yeah there are sometimes where i i get there i'm like okay scound the internet of what else can i talk about yeah it's tricky it's fun challenge yeah what's your favorite um platform to use out of all the things that you do even if it's like stand-up

or podcast or youtube or anything what's your favorite one yeah i uh i i I've always, like, Facebook's always been good to me. I've always loved Facebook, but I think I always, like, the new thing and what's challenging now, like, your podcast is so much different than, like, a viral video. You can't, like, have a viral podcast, really. It's, like, it's this fun, like, week and week out, how I make this better. So that, and then the live shows, I was so fired up to go do, and I just never would have thought I'd be doing anything like that.

So this is kind of crazy. I remember when people were like, my. agents were like we can we think you sell tickets do all this i'm right in the by my head saying like okay if we put this on sale no tickets are sold that's fine that makes sense to me but uh yeah we sold tickets that's great didn't uh because you you've done a tour thing right i'm making yeah i did um i did a couple live um podcast tours and it was i've kind of felt the same thing i'm like i'm like aren't people a little katelyn't out like i'm so i'm all over my like i'm doing so much yeah it's like guys i'm going tour it's like all right easy kately yeah

they're like to settle down but it works right it did it was so much fun i believe how many people would come and just like i still get mind-blown that people just listen to me talk for 45 minutes like i'm like i don't know that's that's what i that's what that's it's it's fun but it's where i'm like how do i okay how do i build my podcast i'm trying to do that you know and i'll listen other podcasts i'm like what this podcast is bigger than mine what are they doing and i listen they're just talking we're all just talking i don't but then i enjoy listening to it i'm like i don't even know what's going on. Yeah, it's pretty mind-blowing, but it's cool. Yeah, but some of my favorite are people just having normal conversations.

For sure. Like, I find it like comforting or something. And something I actually thought is I lived in Germany for a few months. And what I found the loneliest part about it was that I couldn't just hear other people's conversations. So like even at the grocery store, like I didn't understand anyone. I couldn't just hear people talking. And now I find it so comforting to just, hear people's conversations yeah i know yeah i i think when you're just like i have comedians i i big fans of or anyone else and you just think you're just a fan of someone you're like i just want to know what they're doing i want to know what they have to say for whatever reason but you know it's we're in a great great place i love that like we're still able to do this

from home i know this a lot of people are doing this it works um it's great did they prep you that you have to confess something to me. Yeah. Because now's like a podcast where we do a confession. A confession. I feel like you'd have a funny one. Like I'll talk about pooping their pants, which is super interesting to me.

Like you can go there or you can go anywhere with it. Up to you. Oh, wow. That's good. Yeah. I could go to the poop pants, poopy pants story but um a confession or a funny story just a confession whatever a funny story is great too if it's like a little bit embarrassing great i'll tell a funny story though i have planned

to tell this anyway but uh everyone looks a good poop your pants story what do you tell poopy pants stories i have but i can only come up with so many well that's a good problem to have i don't have that problem. I won't tell them all. But no, it's, I don't know. So the story is I, this is one of them. I was, you know, it's, now I'm doing what I'm doing and kind of a podcast and I've, you know, I'm at the beginning of this, it was just like my cell phone and me. I was alone all the time. Kind of sad in retrospect, but it's what it is. And so I'm just like in my apartment. That's your confession. Whatever. Yeah, that's my confession. If you're the first person I've talked to at three weeks. That was my confession.

So I went, I was, you know, it was in the morning. I think I had gone up and worked out, you know, like feeling good. And I popped into Target for something. It was like a Starbucks in a Target. So I'm like, oh, I'm going to treat myself into a coffee. And they had like a new our plant-based protein coffee smoothie thing. Okay. I was like perfect. I just worked out. We get my protein. We get my coffee. It's going to be great. And so I take a few tips to that. I go home.

and I mean immediately disaster strikes just plant protein with like cold brew coffee and this is the bath I was in my living room just kind of like it was fine

and the worst part is I had it pants on so there I mean it was trapped all down no this was this wasn't recent so yesterday and I mean it just it was just completely pooped my pants like a child and ran to the bathroom.

It was like a crime scene. It was horrific. And I remember I was on a flight the next week and I saw a guy order that plant protein thing. And I said, I said, dude, do not drink that for you on the plane. I had to tell him. You did. Yeah, because I was like, she'll hate me for this. My fiance at the time, or she was my girlfriend, I was like, I told her the story.

She's cracking up. I put my pants today. She's like, she's like, I didn't poop pants. I get ahead of that. But she's like, I had one of those two. and like upset my stomach like there's something wrong so i told i was like dude i'm i couldn't imagine doing that on a plane that's like a weird fear i have of like me too yeah i don't know those first of all there's just so you'd think by now they'd come up with a better bathroom system on planes like

why are they literally just like like just a like the smallest possible cramped box you could possibly fit in yeah to do your business and then there's so many people that could come on in the after you and I'm just like I have that fear right no and it's like a walk of shame past how many people yes oh that was 20 minutes ago we knew like that the air is just like following you from the recycled air bathroom well no yeah I'm actually I'm amazed I've avoided that up until now probably that'll be my first flyback just disaster strikes but have you ever been on a plane and seen like a couple go into a bathroom um I have not have you yeah I witnessed that once it was it was like an overseas flight so I guess that makes it a little less weird but I guess

like people were in line and they had no shame they just went in together like it was normal yeah I think someone like loki saw them and then they were just like taking a while and I guess a tenant had to knock and be like okay wrap this up we got and they just both walked out I was like oh my I guess I guess if you were trying to yeah I guess we're trying to do that you just have to I mean everyone can see you go in there it's like yeah I could do podcasts after podcast after podcast about airports and airplanes in general because there's so many things that happen and that piss me off and there's just so many things happen good and bad in air it's like love that we're all drinking at 6 a and that makes me happy hates that like

there's like 80 zones to load and like the people who are yeah last zone are like up there with the platinum diamond medallion members yeah however many members they call before you that's the only place where you see like a guy all by himself drinking at 6.30 a.m. And you're like, I'm not worried about him. Yeah, I don't worry about that guy. I'm kind of like respect. Yeah, I'm worried about the guy getting the plant protein. I'm like, you can try and get by yourself.

I'm so glad we're putting the word out there so all of the listeners can know not to get that. But I mean, I'm not going to lie to you. As soon as you said protein and coffee, I was like, should have known. Yeah. That was just learning lesson. For pooping your pants. Yep, it was. Well, thank you for sharing.

Okay. Are dogs a man's best friend? No. Oh. Okay. Okay. You have to agree with you, then. Okay.

So I have a, the dog, so I grew up with dogs, right? I love dogs. Yeah. But I see, I have an issue with, well, I guess, man's best friend could slide but I have an issue with when they become your child so man's best friend I can let a slide when it becomes your child

I start to get I think there's got to be a limit you know these you know I know I know someone who like shout out their life savings to save their dog's life they're paying payments I know everyone would and I get it I grew up where like dog stays outside he's a dog right but which

I think it was more common back then yeah what kind of dogs did it I had a beagle. Okay. You know, those are very cute. Yeah, they're great. But now it's like if your dog's outside, you'll be on your front door the next day.

I like, Jason, my boyfriend was like, we got a fence and I still can't handle just like letting them out there. I'm like, are they okay? Like, what are they getting into? And like, I don't know. The L.A. sun is very harsh today. Or you're in Nashville. Sorry, yeah, but.

Same thing. The heat out there. it's uncomfortable for them i'm such a dog freak like i'm one of those owners that like i need to take a knee like it's it's aggressive yeah well it's i mean if as long as you're aware of it that's fine you know i i i know i'm very self-aware yeah some of my good friends who they have their dog it's their child and it is what it is i just i would never adopt a dog it would be like i told jason that i wish i birthed both goldens myself right like if you could if you could nurse them i would you would have yep that's fine

um okay confessions great yeah that's mine um does the person flying in the middle seat get both arm rests no not at all I don't this reminds me

this really took me off speaking of I don't so well I'm a Southwest guy so first come first serve well I think with every airline it's like people who are in the aisle typically like pay more they were like first to sign up or however it works right so you it's your fault you're in the um i was in a flight once where a lady i hate when you're a situation and you're sitting next to them and they are they have the armrest up yeah so you have to awfully be like gonna put this down now and and i had lady in the middle she's like oh can we keep them up they were just like uh it'll free up

some space and i was kind of okay like it's like dividing it's your own little space every time i yeah every time i fly i stop and think of like this is this is so strange i'm so close to all these strangers this is the only situation this bathrooms like yeah what there's just little line them up the nation there's like it's not closed in like they're you can see their feet and hear noise it's similar to like if keeping the arm messed up is like if there's no divider on the urinals like i this is it's this is i gotta go i get to go in here eyes closed because my peripherals are good yeah and if there's not a divider it's just I'm in a tough situation.

So, yeah, middle does not get arm rest, I think. Okay, but what about when people don't, okay, this is a thing for me. I hate when people don't shut the window once we're up in the air. See, that I do agree. So I doesn't bother me. I'm not a sleep on a plane. I am. Okay, I cannot sleep on a plane overnight.

Can't do it. So I, like, read on a plane or something. So I don't mind when it was open. but I understand the majority you are you've taken responsibility to the window of your window seat and you've got to read the vestibule that's true you've got to read the vestibule they're all shut and you have yours open okay you're a jerk okay that's very fair read your audience like if the person next you's trying to sleep or if like it's shining bright like shut it yeah but if it's like you're going over a beautiful canyon okay fine look out the window i have to admit i've i've

I've been the guy before, I don't know, it's like, you know, they have the light above you, and it's like a, it's like a search party spotlight. I mean, the thing is intense. And I've been in like a middle before and I have that on because I'm just trying to read. I'm like, I'm bored. And of course, someone's trying to sleep. I had a stranger next to me just reach up and turn it off. Shut up. I was like, honestly, props. I'll just leave it off. That was power move. That's, that's, I would never do that to anyone. I'm also Canadian, so I'm very polite. I recline to me and like, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Do you think you're a, if you are in a seat, are you,

do you have the right to recline? Yeah. The seat are meant to recline. They're reclining seats. I agree. If they weren't going to recline, they wouldn't recline. Agreed.

Agreed. You're going to complain behind you. It's like, my favorite, CK did this one thing and he goes, like a guy was losing his mind on not having the internet on his plane. And Louie was like, he was like, oh, I'm sorry, what happened next? Did you just sit in your comfortable chair and partake in the miracle of flight? Did you just sit in the chair while you're like flying to a different

destination? Like, it was so funny. And I'm like, are people really complaining about no room? Like, I'm actually creating more room for your legs, I find, because the front of my seat goes forward and I recline. Oh, yeah. Some airlines are just straight back and some do the like, they push you forward while you go back, and that's kind of like, oh. I don't know. I'm having money to be comfortable on a flight, and I'm a sleeper. You're not a sleeper. So, flying, because I need.

I thought, I thought of where I think we were flying. Like, our heater's not really working. So it was like frigid up there. And I'm like, you know, I'm ticked off. It was one of the few times, well, it was like a small cheap flight. So it was like, I feel like going to be it. It was like for an extra 50 bucks, first class. It's like, what a deal.

And then the first class is just like a seat that's like two inches wider on like Alaska Airlines. I'm like, okay, well, this is not worth it. And then it was cold. So I was like up front at the very front. And so I called because I'm like, it was cold on my flight. I would like a voucher. I'm like, yeah, I'm like, fly do the air. Yes.

They're like, we give you 50 bucks. I'm sure they're like, this guy said a hole. But you're like, I need a voucher. I am the guy. I'm like, if I was at the restaurant the other day, the bar, the bartender had me a beer. I was like, this is a little flat. We're going to need to. Because I purchased.

I just want I don't mind doing that but I'm sure I'm sure they just spin it in it and gave it back to me but it's fine you took the Karen from your mom your mom's Karen and you got a little bit of the Karen I mean when I yeah my Karen's video when I I took on that persona so well you you were just channeling your inner Karen who's been inside of you yeah wow you know what that's okay we're here talking through it confessions. You made some good content out of it, so there's that. Okay, should we wash our legs in the shower?

Did you come up all of these? Yeah. This is great. No. I've actually, I saw, yeah, there was some debate on that. I feel like I saw on social media where I didn't, it's funny when stuff like that, you don't think about what others are doing. But like in a shower, yeah, it's like who, no one.

Who washes their back or their legs? It's like washing jeans. Don't tell me you wash your jeans. They just to kind of, I just kind of go, shoulders, armpits, and it kind of runs down my body. I'm like, yeah. That's what I'm saying. The soap's running down anyways.

Exactly. It just reeks of effort to actually bend down to wash your legs when the soap's already going down there anyways. I don't want, there's no way anyone washes their back. And it's not like the leg smell. It's not like a part of your body you need to wash. Right.

Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I completely agree. great. No one's watched her back. It's amazing. And we all hug each other, embrace each other's backs. Never, never clean. How often do you wash your hair? Oh, never, like once a week. Once a week. I feel like that's pretty low. It's amazing when you, yeah, getting a fiance now married, like they learn a lot. Women are, I mean, I'm discussed. The histories of the female. It's amazing. What Jason sometimes is like, like, he'll call me gross. Like, he's like, you're, you're being a little

gross and I'm like yeah yeah like I always say my hygiene is extremely questionable I actually have had haters hate on me being like you that's so disgusting how I always talk about like your hygiene not being yeah like people came to your podcast show like this she's great but she smells like I don't we never got that at the podcast yeah yeah I know it is uh yeah that's amazing as a guy when you learn how little girls like clean themselves oh it's pretty gross that's what I'm saying it's but I get it we look nice though um on the same note is it okay to pee in the shower um yes but I don't you do really I don't I don't I don't I'm a little bit of a clean freak of sorts I don't know I just I'm my I'm a routine you like go before I step

in I'm not like I'll hold this and pee on my feet not could I judge you for not pain in the shower are you are you doing a lot of like you're in there like you're in there like, oh, it just hit me. Might as well. Yeah. Okay. That's fine. Like, I'm not going to pull it in. I remember I had a scarring experience growing up. I was like, you know, seven or something of my, or younger, I don't know, whatever age is, whatever the age is normal for the story I meant to tell. And I was, like, racing in the bathroom with my sister, you know, where, like, close to an age and like, I got to pee, I got to pee. And she beat me to it.

So then I, like, ran over to the shower and just, like, stood, like, the shower wasn't Oh, and I just, like, stood there and peed into it. My mom was like, what was wrong with you? And so you, like, cleaned it after her. And I think that I was, I got in big trouble. And I was like, oh, I guess we can't pee in the show. I thought it was normal, yeah. That makes a lot of sense, actually.

That's why you don't. Yeah. But I've heard it's good for, like, uh, athlete's foot, maybe. You ever heard that? Um, no, I heard it's good for like a jellyfish bite. Oh, I've heard that too. Yeah. I had a buddy one time get, uh, stung.

And he was like, truly. in so much pain he's like yeah pee on me and I like peed on him and it was hilarious yeah you recorded it wow as yeah as like teenage boys she was like ha ha but he said it helped yeah he did oh that's amazing um okay is in sync better than back street boys yes dody pop in sync i've talked about this for it in what side are you on i am in sync as well man i every probably once a year I'll just think of

and see now this will probably be the time and then I'll just like start playing the music I'm like man it's so good yeah did you see the documentary about the guy who formed them I remember this

no it's on I want to say it's on like premium YouTube maybe but it's this guy I forget his name but he was this business guy who was this kind of conman of sorts but he was in like he grew a business in blimps

or something very unrelated and then he kind of saw this opportunity of like boy bands and he put together in sync and backstreet boys and LFO is that what it was oh yeah I'm gonna maybe see whatever was and he's a few others he was like this genius of the boy bands but then but he was getting like all the money and he was like exploiting these kids kind of and it was like the whole ordeal but fascinating story is that on no idea I think it's on YouTube premium oh YouTube premium okay I want to watch that I think I would like that a lot. I was in my first concert. Oh, really? Yeah. That's awesome.

Yeah. I just remember the way my family got so hooked on them was they were on some Disney special thing with Cleopatra. Yeah. Do you remember her? Cleopatra! Gomen Atta! And it was in sync and his ramen hair.

Shout out your dog ramen. And I remember my, yeah, we were always, but we were a big JC family. Not the cooked kind, the pre-cooked, yeah. Yeah, pre-cooked. and I remember we were a family like, we like J.C. bore, but J.T. is the best. I just did today

Joey Tone's Facebook Live and it was actually really funny. Yeah, he's hilarious. He's really funny. And I told him that he was my answer. It was pretty funny. That's awesome. Yeah. Is there Christmas album the best Christmas album? Is that your go-to?

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, 100%. And Ryan, all day. And think for it. Yeah. And seeing first, yeah, they're so kind of. Mariah, you ever seen the videos of her recently trying to sing? And she, like, forgot how to sing.

Tragic. Yeah, that's those, that's the conspiracy of our generation. I don't even know. She was like the goat and then. I don't know what happened. That's a thing. I heard that singers can, like, get so messed up in their head about, like, not being able to sing anymore and they can convince themselves that they aren't good anymore.

And that's what happens. That's, yeah, I think that, I don't argue that I can have. with like anything your head you you're like athletes needed psychological help because they're like stop believing in themselves basically and like they can't it's scary yeah it is scary it is it's very weird like it's all the like pressure that comes along with like an audience of watching you yeah yeah so you might become like not funny anymore and right like we're both gonna we're both spiral down to psychopaths so it'll be good yeah yeah okay just a couple more and then I'll let you go but I'm just having way too much fun with these I'm like 30 written out I'll put you through all

them that's awesome okay what came first the chicken or the egg man um oh that's actually now that I'm thinking about it it's does anyone has like science have scientists looked into this? I'm... Do we actually know? I should have Google. I think... Google it and see what Google says.

I'm pretty sure. I think when I lean towards chicken, I believe they're a relative of the T-Rex. Yeah. That's a good theory. Yeah, T-Rex, I think I saw some really where they think a lot of dinosaurs actually had feathers. And so chickens...

Chickens were kind of like, maybe they're like the dwarves of the T-Rex. See, but this is saying... Google says that two birds that weren't really chickens created a chicken egg and hence we have an answer

the egg came first and then it hatched a chicken well that's what I said a T-Rex and a raptor totally yeah okay we're on the same page got I got to go

same page okay I was right yes you're right I like how we talked through that one that was good yeah that was does pineapple belong on pizza no no I don't phase

No, I think everyone's on a phase where they're kind of like, oh, this is fun, but it's just, I can't, you can't do that. I just- Phase 35 years later. You're a pineapple for life. I mean, that's not my go-to order, but I enjoy it if it's around. Okay, okay. Like, you wouldn't eat it. You'd pick the pineapple off.

Yeah, I would. I would, I think. Yeah. Okay. What's your go-to? Well, I don't eat meat. Okay. Like vegetarian or vegan or pesticide?

I eat fish and everything else and cheese and all of that. I just, I just don't eat meat. And like once in a while, Jason has like a chicken chicken. I'm just, it's just, I don't know. Eggs, love eggs. So you're an, I believe the crates term is you ran. You're an avolacto vegetarian. Is that real?

Lacto pescatian. He just made that word up right now. No, because my, no, because I think my wife is the same thing. She's like, really? I make fun of it all the time. Avo-lacto-pascatoria, meaning you'll have eggs, dairy, and fish, but not the rest, I guess. But it's funny, like, I'm born and raised in Oklahoma. We had, like, half a cow in the freezer at all times.

That's like me, too. I grew up in Alberta, and Alberta is like a thing. Yeah. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. No, I just, this is only, this is like three years for me. Otherwise, I ate me my whole.

Got it. Yeah. so we've had this yeah meat forward family and then my wife's come in it she's like the first time they met her i'm like and she doesn't eat like meat she'll have some fish but my family doesn't like my mom doesn't like fish or like my sister didn't like fish so we just had like beef and chicken and my mom was like well she and i was like it's fine just she'll just like eat the salad it's fine and she's like oh and then she like goes a better way to make like yeah and then she goes other way to make like catfish but there's a part of the catfish are like not a healthy

fish in any way. So that kind of defeated the purpose too. I was like, sorry, you're eating some Oklahoma catfish. So please enjoy it. That's like a thing in Nashville, fried catfish, I feel like. No catfish in Alberta, huh? I don't know about that. Yeah, catfish. Catfish. It's good. I haven't had it a while. I don't think I've ever heard anyone having catfish unless it was heavily deep fried in stuff. That's exactly. I can't imagine anyone would love like a poached catfish filet. probably is painless. Yeah. A little lemons at.

Yeah. My go-to pizza is always a margarita. I love margarita pizza. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I love, I love New York style, thin, crispy. I grab a tip towards to just like simple. I just thought of a new one.

I just thought of a question because this bothers me. Do you fold your pizza? Uh, no. Thank you. Okay. Okay, yeah, it seems unnecessary. It's kind of. You're ruining the ratio.

yeah agreed you have to I kind of I do bite by and then I start working on the crust from like halfway through the slice and so I don't want just all the crust I want to kind of throw in that crust throughout so you get a good ratio of sauce to cheese to crust yeah I feel that yeah I feel that and I hot sauce always on it of course and chili flakes I love chili flakes on me yeah true true yeah okay ranch or blue cheese that wasn't even on there I'm just asking now I that depends but I'm not I'm not as big on ranching is most white people like you know where that you know I get annoyed when you go somewhere maybe this is you I go somewhere and like I know of a couple people I think it order anything they could order anything like could I get a side of ranch and I just I'm not tasting anything but the ranch but you're a big ranch person I love ranch but I'm weirdly more of a ketchup guy okay so like chicken nuggets are you dipping that in ranch or ketchup or ketchup or ketchup I would dip that in ketchup yeah I put on my A

I like ketchup. Oh, ketchup on eggs, I can get behind that. I always do that. I think. I thought that was a Canadian. Maybe it is, but I remember someone introduced me to that, and I've always done it, ketchup on eggs. I do get some weird looks on that. But yeah, I go for like wings, a lot of times get blue cheese, blue cheese and, yeah, instead of a ranch.

But I'm a ketchup person, more big hot sauce person. So it's kind of my go-to. What's your favorite? Well, I love Franks, obviously, but I love just like that chili saracha, like with the green. The classic? Yeah, the classic. Have you ever heard of hot ones on YouTube?

Is that where they eat the wings and add to questions? Yeah, it's so good. I tried to get on that. You tried to? Yes. What happened? I don't know. One of my friends, so I'm still friends with a couple of producers from Bachelor,

and this one producer, Adam, he knows the guy that does it. And so Adam's like, oh, I'm going to get you on that show for sure. And then I was like, okay. And then I was so set on it. And I watched so many episodes. And then I never heard back. And I was like, oh, it's become like, I mean, it's become so big. And their recent guests are like, yeah, I don't even like, yeah, some of the biggest people. And it's like, they have a ton of hip-hop dudes on there. It's like a pretty urban show. You know what I mean? Like, I'd say that as in like, I would never be on it because they don't, unless they want an influx of like white moms to watch but uh i don't know we're we're probably in a different

demographic than hot ones but i it was humbling yeah sure but i do say the back of my mind like if i ever like if i'm ever in an interview where i'm like wow what a milestone it's not it's not ellen or like the late show it's hot ones yeah i mean it's awesome i think it's awesome and i so i will uh so they always pick these two hot houses and so i go to their site and like pick up because they just find these crazy, like, small, small business hot sauces. Yeah, if you, like, they have it linked somewhere. They have a site where they've, like, they've set it up. Like, here's our sauce line up.

Oh, that's amazing. So that's kind of fun. My mouth is actually watered right now. Yeah. Like, oh, my gosh. I'm eating wings tonight. I'm very excited. So just wanted to get that out there.

Two things I saw you during this podcast. NSYNC, you really got happy talking about that and hot sauce. Well, it's funny. I don't. I've repeatedly talked about it over the years through like I don't know my stories or stuff like my love of ensign so if people like follow me really closely they're like I'm like in sync over Backstreet boys we all know that so that's and that's just what I grew up on like I grew up like in a conservative Oklahoma family and in sync was like as as as as far as we went you know what I mean like you're no PG-13 movies but in sync we'll watch these watch these teen boys shake their hips a little bit and so I think that's why I'm just so successful at TikTok, yeah, because of Joey Fetone. Joey Fetone. Okay, last question is, is a hot dog a sandwich?

No, it's not a hot dog. It's a hot dog. It's a hot dog, and I think it's funny. Someone recently said that to me, and the only thing that came of that conversation was me being, like, I haven't had a hot dog at a long time, and then I went and got hot dogs. I that's the like eating meat is not having a hot dog but I've found like the perfect plant-based hot dog that tastes like a hot dog

oh sure yeah plant-based they've figured something out where that's the exact same thing what's in there but I'm probably not good for you at all but wow I did vegan for like a month just kind of well it's because I watch that game changers and I'll believe anything you tell me so I was like

oh they'll fix it yeah so I yeah it's yeah um didn't bounce that with any other research but i was like oh i'm gonna die unless i go vegan so i i did it and it was like don't because i didn't even try i was just like oh i'll just eat way more bread and vegan hot dogs and that'll help but i know but uh challenging yeah that's funny um that's good well i feel like i've kept you an hour i that flew by so thank you great. It's fun. I wanted to Grats on

I did want to just talk about, congrats on Dix with the Stars. That's like I don't know. I'm very jealous for one. It's like hot ones, dates with the stars. Not really, but that's the way this was so is that like happening soon or is COVID like

pausing all that or? Apparently they're going on as scheduled like they're planning on the fall but I just saw like numbers are spiking in California so I'm like yeah so I don't know what's going to happen but um apparently

it's still a go it just it'll probably look a little differently like I doubt the live studio audience and all of that but I don't even care I grew up dancing so I'm you know and so I'm excited that's so cool yeah yeah it's it's definitely like

something I've dreamt about since I was like in my 20s so I'm pretty excited about well my mom loves that show so she will both be probably yeah got it got it unless she has another that's awesome but they can find your podcast

So thank you so much for coming on. And thank you for your hilarious content because it has made us laugh so hard over here

during quarantine. So like your quarantine, a whole thing, I was like, oh, my gosh, us. Yeah, that was fun because, yeah, I mean, that was literally what I was experiencing where like we, yeah, I think one of the bits was like we were just like blessing the food at the dinner table and like mid prayer like this has really happened in real life mid prayer we just started an argument i was like da-da-da she's like i can't hear you i'm like i'm like i'm trying to like do we need to do this right now excuse me god let's do that you know so it's just great you're just together so much um but it was good times that's us relationships who who made it now

I recently discovered thanks to Taylor Nolan. And that is Erica Hart, whose handle is at I Heart Erica, and that's E-R-I-C-A. She's a sex educator, a racial slash social slash gender justice disruptor. She hosts her very own podcast called Hood Rat to Head Wrap. Erica has been posting so much amazing information that continues to help me do the work to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Her account is extremely inspirational and I just really want to thank her for all she does to help us learn and grow. So I also want to support a couple of black owned businesses that I've learned of recently thanks to my DMs to my Off the Vine Instagram account. And the first is Claire Paint, C-L-A-R-E, which you can visit at clare.com or follow at Claire P-A-N-T on

Instagram. One of my vinos, Gabrielle, said she's using Claire Paint to redo her bathrooms. So love this, would recommend to check out her page if you're doing any remodeling yourself. And the second was recommended by Brooke. And they are called Trio PlantBased. They're an amazing plant-based restaurant in Minneapolis. And they're actually Minnesota's first black-owned plant-based restaurant. So cool. And you guys know I'm all about trying to eat plant-based, not vegan, but I love vegan food. And you can visit them at Trio PlantBase.com or follow them on Instagram at Trio PlantBased. Thanks for listening to Off the Vine with Caitlin Brisco.
