all right everybody welcome all right everybody welcome to the first vino confessional this is the safe It is the safe place that goes well everywhere. But I've been sharing my confessions with you guys for going on six years now. So I'm excited for the tables to turn. That was me doing turntables. So for our first vinyl confessional, let's talk about our worst first dates. So I haven't heard any of these.

I haven't talked to any of these ladies. Alicia has been setting this all up, so I'm excited and pumped to hear people's confessionals and see what kind of shenanigans, you little weirdos, are up to. Alicia told me that these stories just get spicier, like starts with a good one, but ends with somebody dating Harry Styles, and it just like apparently gets spicier on the spicy scale. We've got Paige on the line who apparently has the two Tinder date debacle story, which I have no idea what this is about to be, but let's bring her in. You look so pretty. I love your hair. Thank you. I'm getting used to it. It's such a big adjustment for me. But I'm like, I keep telling myself that I look chic. I'm like, you look expensive. You do. I would have a fro. So I love it. Oh, do you have curly hair. I'm jealous. I do. It's thick and curly and wavy. And I tried to even like cut it just like right above the shoulders. We'll never do it again. Can't. Okay. But can I just give you a little tire pump? I always.

like the girl I just talked to you had really, really curly hair, and she had it all brushed out and, like, it was so big and beautiful. And I just love that look so much. I love curly hair. See, that's pretty. I can't, I've got like the waves. So it's not even like the pretty fro. The grass is always greener, isn't it?

It is, you know, it is. Okay, well, I'm excited to hear your story. I have not been prepped for any of these, so I have no idea what you're about to tell me, and I'm very excited. Okay, perfect. Like, all right, well, let me set the scene for you. So currently now I'm married with two children, but back in the day, you know, I was dating a lot. So this was like right after college, I had moved to Savannah, Georgia, and I was newly single.

And, you know, I'm like 23 years old, pre kids. So I'm like skinny and hot, you know. And Tinder was like brand new. Like it had only been out for like a year. So I had downloaded Tinder. And for a girl. again, like 23 years old, newly single in this new city where I didn't know anybody and having all these boys like at my fingertips. I was like, this is an candy store. Yes. Yeah, exactly. I mean,

I spent like a whole afternoon just swiping and having like the best time. So fun. So I was talking to like a few guys on there, but there were like two guys that I gravitated to most and we were talking. And I honestly cannot remember their names, which is kind of perfect, I guess. So in the theme of Bachelor, we'll call one Chris and one Jesse. So. so Chris was a conversation was really good but Jesse was hot but like the conversation wasn't as great but you know I wasn't at that point yet in my life where I felt comfortable asking out a guy so I was like waiting for I was trying like you know hinting and flirting but like he just wasn't really getting there but Chris asked me on a date and I was like okay you know I'll go out with him

so we met up at a bar downtown have you been to Savannah I haven't I've always wanted to okay although you would love it but it's a small town but at the same time there's no shortage of bars yeah and there's a good downtown area i mean there's like a couple streets just full of bars it's it's a big going out scene down there so we met at like a sports bar downtown i got there early to get a drink to calm like the date nerves and the bar was packed so i like was able to find a couple spots and i sat there ordered a i used to drink the like okiest chardonnay just like so I cannot anymore. I feel like that's such a, like, rich, like, mom drink.

It is. But then I also feel like it's a young adult drink, like, because they're drinking what's their mom's drink. So, like, my mom would always drink Okie Chardonnese, and then I was like, I'm going to drink this too. So it's probably, you know, whatever. It was, like, thick and buttery and now I cannot. But so I add one of those.

And then Chris got there and I could, like, immediately tell, okay. like this is not my vibe you know it was not attracted to him he didn't really look like his pictures but whatever he was a nice guy and stuff like okay we'll just you know have a couple drinks and snacks and stuff so then a little bit later it's probably like two chardonnay's deep this guy comes and sits on the other side of me and i look at him and i think it's jesse and i'm like what are the chances of all the places this guy could have gone and everywhere that he could have sat I'm sandwiched in between these two tender boyfriends. No.

And then Chris leans over and he was like, Jesse? And just was like, Chris? Hey, man, what's up? Like, they were buddies from college. They start, like, they start catching up with each other, like, leaning over me. And I'm just chugging Chardonnay because I'm like, what in the fuck is happening? And I was like I was on a two on one, essentially. I was just thinking that.

So I was like, I don't know what to do. They were just like chit-chat and catching up, like, literally leaning over me. And I'm just like sandwich in the middle of them. And I'm like, I'm going to go to the restroom, go in the bathroom and some random girl. I'm like, I have to tell someone this. And as you know, there's like no bond stronger than two drunk girls in a bathroom. So I tell her everything. And I'm like, I don't know how this happened.

Is she your bridesmaid at your wedding now? I don't even know her name. I never talked to again. I should have gotten her number. Yeah. You should have. But yeah. So I just go back and then, and then Chris was like, Jesse, this is, this is page. And we shook hands and I could like see the recognition in his eyes. He was like, oh, hi. Nice to meet you. It's so awkward. And so then it was hard too because then I had to just like continue this date with Chris when this huddy, hot hat, hoin, Jesse is like sitting next to me. And it was just the most awkward thing that I think I, that.

I've ever gone through. That is, that is a terrible first date. But so what, okay, so did you guys all acknowledge it or it was kind of like a secret between you and Jesse? Totally secret. Yeah, didn't acknowledge it at all. I finished up the date with Chris. Like, he walked me out.

I went home. I think it's like before Uber, like call a cab. But I honestly couldn't even tell you if we kissed. I don't remember. Wait, did Jesse show up alone at the bar? Yeah. He was just there to like watch a game. He was like a sports car.

that's what I always wonder. I'm like, did they plan this or something where they wanted to have a threesome? They were trying to fly. They were like, this bitch drinks Chardonnay. She's on her second glass. Show up now. Let's feel her out. And you were like not going to the vibe.

So then they were just like, oh my gosh, Jesse and Chris, you dirty dogs. That is hilarious. I literally never thought of that possibility, but I guess it is possible. And you just sat there drinking your chart and you weren't like, like there was no full conversations happening. Like that's so suss. I know. Well, after they kind of caught up, it was like Chris just kind of went back to our date because he didn't suspect anything. So he was just like, so anyway, and went on about whatever he was talking about as if Jesse weren't there.

It was like, he said hello to his friend of college. I mean, it was, we didn't have a second one. I think I was going to say. And was like, you know, I don't see anything here. And then Jesse texted me that night, being like, well, that was weird. Yes. And then no follow up? No, I remember like we, I still kind of like tried it to like hint at him to maybe have something happen.

But he never did. I don't think all the lights were working upstairs with him. He was a beautiful man, but just wasn't. And I did end up seeing both of them out at separate times. Again, it's a small town. So you see people out. But nothing ever came from it. It was just like the most bizarre weird night ever.

oh my that just like well that's hilarious but i also just i have such a funny picture in my head of all of this going down i don't know why it's so funny that it was the chardonnay really like added to the storyline it was like the main character for me i don't know why that's so funny it was a big part of it it was oh i wonder i wish i could reach out to them now and be like look time is past i know i have a podcast i need to know the truth did you set this up as a three-some what was I would love to know what a coincidence I mean it does make sense that maybe it was a small town but still I know I think the same thing and I I feel like I'm a pretty good like bullshit reader and I feel like I would have yeah I mean I like to think I would have picked up on any signs

of like weirdness but at the same time I'm like what are the chances of this like this is so weird like literally both of my pinder boyfriend decide to come to the same like it was just yeah it was weird. I don't know. If I even, I can't remember their names, but yeah, if I did, I would, like, maybe ask. Do you know what's so funny? This just reminds me of something. I don't know how I had the confidence to do this back in the day, but I dated two guys at the same time and had them over to my house at the same time. And, like, it didn't even phase me. I was probably 16 years old. And I was dating my high school sweetheart off and on. And then there's this guy that I was obsessed with from like a small town hockey team in like another city and he was coming into town but i already

had plans with my high school sweetheart and i was like i'm just going to invite them both over and i have a hilarious photo i wish i could find it i'm sitting with my crunchy ramen blonde hair like the crunchy hair the crunchy ramen noodle hair and i'm in a skittles oversized sweater with pajama pants because that was cool and the i both guys are on either side of me and this i was not drinking a buttery chardonnay it was probably like a coke or something but i have a photo of it and i remember thinking like it wasn't weird i was like i like i like them both i'm like kind of dating them both i'll have them over and i don't know how they didn't care but like it didn't get brought up i was 16 but that kind of reminds me of that story so i'm like that is so funny did you straighten your bangs

like did you do like the crunchy hair and then like the straight in the front yeah to the side and it would like sizzle as you like straightened oh it wasn't a straightened piece of hair if it didn't sizz i like it was like oh i got to find the photo i'm sure it's somewhere like collections of it there's a box somewhere where i have photos of that and a picture of me sitting beside snoop dog on snoop dog's uncle's lap with a diamond on my tooth when i was 18 you must find that please for the vinyl do it that is gold i got to do it oh my gosh thank you for sharing your story i'm like obsessed with doing these calls now because i get to like connect with the listeners too and like every time I talk to anybody that's a vinyl I'm always like why are you all so normal

and sweet and chill and funny and like my kind of people like I feel like I don't care if there's like only a hundred listeners because I'm like I would be friends with all of you guys it's amazing I love that and we all of my friends that listen to you we say the same thing like we're like oh we would just totally hang out with Caitlin if we were all in the same place okay well if you're ever in Nashville let's go grab a chardonnay okay get over at Caitlin it's right I'm never going to let you live it down I can't even drink chardonnay anymore because it makes me cry. I don't know what it is. If I drink chardonnay, I cry. I get it. There are certain alcohols that just, like, me on vodka, angry.

Me, if I drink, like, it's really weird how differently it affects you. But, you know, you just got to find your juice and stick to it. That's right. Yeah, that is right. Well, thank you for sharing and I can't hear for everybody to hear it. Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much for having me on. I love you. And, yeah, you're doing great. Thank you. So nice to talk to you. You're so sweet. all right let's get into our next guest fair warning i don't know what's about to happen but i was told to tell you that this is possibly rated our pg13 r if you have like little ones maybe press pause hi you look beautiful thank you ed's to you so i have the craziest first date story ever and i think i've always wanted to tell you this when i hear your confessions because i'm like shut up i have the best

one yes oh my gosh i can't wait yeah so this is a tinder match and it was like 10 years ago so i'm 30 now i was probably like 20 21 like i think tinder had just came out and so i had okay which makes me feel old because it doesn't seem like tinder's been around that long but anyways i digress so i meet with a hockey coach from another town and he's ironically playing in my hometown in northern michigan that that night and i was already going to go to the game so i'm like okay well we can meet up there this should have been like a huge red flag because he got kicked out within the first like I don't know 10 minutes first period for sure for being too argumentative but of course red was like my favorite color I was 22 so you're like make it more red yeah like please bring it on

so I'm fun so then he rode to my hometown on a charter bus and so he didn't have a vehicle but he wanted me to go for like a drive with him and I just got in a brand new car I don't know if I mention that but I'm like yeah sure like I can drive it's northern Michigan shitty ass snowstorm so I went around what should have been like a 10 minute loop but it took like 20 minutes I'm like white knuffling it the whole way there and I'm trying to make small talk I don't even know this guy like I just matched with him that morning and so then as we're driving I'm how so how about the weather like that kind of stuff and I kid you not and this is going to get even more anticlimactic he whips out his dick I hope I'm going to say that.

No. Swear to God, swear. And he literally starts jacking off. And I am like, I'm not that kind of girl. Like, I don't know what you're expecting. But, like, to be fair, maybe sometimes been out with that approach. And I'm just like, holy shit. So he, yeah, oh, just wait.

So then he starts jacking off. And he's like, no, it's fine. I just thought you'd want to watch me. And I'm like, I'm driving. But I'm like so young. like if that happened today would not fly right but you'd be like skr and get the yeah pretty much so then we're like still driving and i'm like flipping through xm radio and i'm like so what kind of music do you like and he's like that is not what i'm trying to think about right now

and i'm like stop are you kidding me this is where it gets worse so then he goes into all these more questions and starts asking about food socks and he starts telling you that he's jerking off yes so like he has a fetish we're we're gonna get there so okay okay i'm all dressed up because i'm meeting my girlfriend out at the bar afterwards i have boot socks on because back then they're like the thing you know so he's telling me how he like loves women that get dressed up and then he starts telling me how he loves boot socks and he's like how many pairs do you own what colors are they and i am like holy shit right now like this is not happening to me why would this be And I literally, I'm still just like white knuckling it.

So then after immediately, this is actually rewind before when he first started jacking off. My first response was like, um, this is verbatim what I said, how I said it. Um, you better not make a mess in my car. Like that was my first priority. Which is, I think funny because that's my brand new car. And I was like, yeah, you're like, my ass off to buy it. I'm like, young 20 is like, look up. I did not watch your sperm all over my new car.

Literally like get the. babies out of here. So then we go back to the ice rink. We finally make it there after what feels like forever after he's like asking me literally how many pairs I own, what colors are they for these boot socks. I'm wearing boot socks at the time. And then he, when we get to the ice arena, he's like, you should go park over there, like where it's all dark. And I was like, I think I'm just going to park right here. And I like pull him to where it's just like lit up like a Christmas tree at the front, you know. And so he doesn't try to kiss me nothing. Like that was what I was worried about at that point because I'm like, oh my God. And he literally says to me, okay, well, I'm going to go finish

in the bathroom now. I said, bye. Okay. So he just got out out of your car and finished in the arena bathroom. So he says. Yeah. And then I was meeting up with my friend afterwards. And she's like, how did your date go? And I was like, it was fine. Like, didn't even know. A few months later, I ended up telling her. And she was just like, oh my God, I was wondering why you were being so weird but i was like traumatized who goes on dates after that no that is that is absolutely your trauma your trauma is valid that is like at that age too you know like you just like your body doesn't know how to react to trauma so you go into like freeze and like you just like we'll go into freeze mode and you're like just keep driving and this freaking jackoff bandit is just in your car talking

about boot socks yeah okay how old were you Oh, God. I was probably like 21 or 22, if I had to guess. I think 21. Okay, let's call this guy Jack for obvious reasons. I don't even know his name. Well, I mean, obviously I did at the time, but it's been so long. I didn't see him on Tinder like a later time and tried to rematch with him to tell him he's disgusting, but it didn't, he didn't match with me. How old was Jack? Was Jack older than you? I honestly don't know. I want to say probably at least a few years older if I had to guess, because I

I wouldn't I've never dated my age really I feel you so this guy was a hockey coach yeah what league of hockey are we talking just like I don't even know like my home I don't you know what I don't really know like my hometown hockey team nothing crazy or you know it doesn't matter I just wonder where mr. Jackoff is today like I wonder if this is still if he's gone to therapy if he's done some work around it if he oh my god honestly shame around that oh oh Is he still into boot socks? Is he still into, I feel like if that's like a fetish for you, like boot socks, I feel like that's very specific.

I feel like that like once a boot sock lover, always a boot sock lover. Oh, totally, for sure. I'm just so sorry that you had to go through that. Now tell me, have you dated normal men since? I mean, honestly, after that, like it was, let's be real. It wasn't like I had like PTSD or something from it. I just think that at that time I stopped getting on. I think I just stopped.

getting on dating apps for a while and then eventually i mean i'm engaged now but yeah okay okay and he like he's like what the it's a boot sock yeah totally not into boot socks at all thank god i feel like just that alone would be like i would never want to look at one again that is that is so disturbing it's so funny that like you've thought about this for as long as you've listened to the podcast and literally wanted to confess to tell this confession that is the worst first date i've heard a very long time. Thank you. I literally, even when I, so I was listening to your podcast driving into work and I was like, heard you say like worst first date stories. I'm like, this is my chance. So then I went and I even like subjected it strategically because I'm like, no one can pass this.

I think I felt like he was jacking off in my car like first date because I'm like they're going to that's going to intrigue literally anybody. You like give Alicia a jump scare and sim. I know. She's like, oh no. Audibly gasps. That is. I know her. crazy her response was like first of all are you okay but I was just so excited I got an email back I'm like I didn't even like respond to that I'm like no I'm fine I'm just excited to be on here okay wait so you said you took a 20 minute loop why did he ask you to keep driving or something why did you extend the trip so my thought process was it was like a loop like it would have been like a 10 minute drive so I'm like sure we can go for a 10 minute drive so I know the roads obviously so I'm just going around and then when he within the first five minutes he was doing his thing and it's and it would have it only took 20 minutes because the roads were so bad i mean the confidence like that is a long ass time to jack off one so i'm impressed by his stamina but two and he was going the whole time just jerking it the whole time yes and but meanwhile honestly my only thought the whole time was like

god please do not make a mess in here brand new car that's very fair that's very fair was there any other conversations that happened that would like or was it all just him asking questions about this Literally, just I'm asking questions about that, because when I tried to ask about the music, he shut that down real quick. Yeah, that wasn't, the music wasn't doing it for us. It was not a fetish of his, no. Wow. I mean, yeah, I just can't believe, like, within five minutes, he's like, you know what,

this seems like a really good idea. I think she's going to get into it. Did you talk to him at all after? No. Like, did he message, what? No, are you kidding me? I probably unmatched him, like, still in the parking lot. Oh, that's fair.

Absolutely not. I don't know if anyone else is going to relate to this out there. And this is just me being completely honest because obviously masturbation, the people do it. There's no shame in that. But to do it in front of another person is a whole other story and like so inappropriate and disrespectful. But I always just think about like after even if I like if I masturbate and then I am done, I feel so much shame after that like my dogs were even in the room. So I'm like, I know when my cat's there.

I'm like, can you not? Can you not? Can you not? Can you not? Cat, stare at me, like, make eye contact when it. Pino gets, like, worried about me. And I'm like, get out of here. But I wonder if he, like, went into the bathroom.

And when he finished, if he's like, I am a loser. Or if he's like, that didn't go well, but I got off. Like, what? Probably just like, yeah, got her. I wonder if it was like. Some sick way. Was he hot? Like, did he have a reason?

I mean, like, he wasn't, like, bad looking. but I mean, I mean, you're probably going to be from Canada. I really like hockey guys. So I was like, well, sure. Oh, you sign me up. All you do is play hockey. Right from the get-go when you said that, I was like, is this bitch Canadian because I'm obsessed?

I would be the same way. I'd be like, you're in any sort of form of hockey. Like, come on it. Let's go for a ride. I probably wouldn't look past the Jackie Knaw. I would have been like, well, he plays hockey. Yeah. Oh, well, I guess maybe he'll want to go on another date.

He was from the U.P. and Michigan. I do know that. So it was some kind of Michigan. team, you know, but he, yeah, he was from the UP and then took a charter bus down to Elpina's where I'm from. I don't know if you're familiar, but yeah. I'm not, but I wonder if, like, anybody else from Michigan listens to this podcast and they know the jackoff bandit, like, come forward. Would you die? I would die. I would die. Oh, my God. For real. Oh, my God. Thank you so much for sharing that story. You're amazing. I just feel like your whole vibe and

energy. I'm like, I could be friends with you, but that makes sense because you're Michigan and I feel like you're an honorary Canadian. For sure. I felt that way since your first season of a Bachelorette. Honestly, when you had sex with McVile, I was like, that's my girl. That's a me move. I would have done that. Loved it. Trailblazer. That's amazing. Thank you so much, Krista. You're such a beauty. And I can't wait for this to come out. People can, you know, we can start a support group for you or see where this guy is now. Yeah, I might need it. But thankfully, like I said, I'm engaged now. Wonderful man would never do that. Oh, I love it. Oh, that's sweet. I'm happy for you. And thank you. That's all I got for you. Thank you for you. Thank you. Okay. Last but not least, this one, the subject title, like say less. It said first date with Harry Styles. So we definitely need to bring her in because I need all of the nitty gritty details. Hello? Hi. Sorry. I'm so bad with technology. Oh, my God. Sorry. Wait, I'm obsessed with you.

In another lifetime, I'm coming back with your hair. Okay, can I tell you? I curled my hair because my hair journey this year is like trying new things. And I woke up this morning and I was like I did the overnight curls. I looked like a grandma falling asleep. So I don't know how this is going to look, but I just tried to brush it. You look like a Taylor Swift, like queen. Like this energy you're giving me is good and I'm obsessed.

And the fact that you went on a date with hairy styles has got me feeling all times. of way like what is going on i would date you i get it what's going on tell me the story okay so basically and this is going to age myself i posted a vine in like 2014 or something of me at chelsea peers in new york city like golf range not a golfer it was just i of all videos i posted it's one of those where you're like i probably should have deleted it but i did it and somehow he saw it and i was working as a model at the time and he had his manager contact my agent and she was like would you be down if like harry styles got your phone number and i was like what you're like me harry mr harry mr styles yeah and i was like okay and then she gave

his manager my number or whatever texted very normal over text we agreed to meet up for a coffee date because of the time we were both underage i think yeah like 20 so we met at the smile in new york like this really cute quiet little coffee shop and I was first of all I'm not a coffee drinker like at all like I you're I would drink anything for Harry Stiles though yeah I'm a diet Coke girly so I thought I'm like I'm not really like a urine drinker kind of girl but Harry Styles asked me too so sorry can go on no no no for real like and I'm also like a people pleaser so I'm like okay whatever you want to do so yeah we went and because I'm nervous I'm like pounding coffee because it's like what do I do with my hands you know right so yes and also literally me

also I'm just like nervous in general because it's Harry styles even though I don't know he's very down to earth but basically what ended up happening the coffee and the nerves got the best of me oh no oh no this is so good I can't believe I would say this um but basically I yeah that's what happened I basically blew up the bathroom, and if you've ever been to the smile, it is a small restaurant, like single stall, like people know. It's also like low ambience, like there's not like loud music playing. It was just like, I was so humiliated and I'm like trying to like, I turn on the sink for background noise.

I'm like doing everything I can. You're like playing music in the bathroom like one direction. yeah everybody wants to steal my girl yo that was me and i also was like loki trying to play it cool and be like oh yeah like one direction i've never heard of them but i had like his poster on the wall growing up so you like manifested that you were like you like looked at him every day on your wall we're like i'm going to go on a coffee date with him little did you know that you were going to have like you didn't know the benefits i guess and repercussions of chugging coffee you're not a coffee drinker You don't know the coffee makes of poop.

I did not know. What happens next? So I basically go out and I try to like play it off. I'm like, oh, you know, lady problems, which that in itself, I felt embarrassing. At the time, now I'm like, but I'm like trying to play it, trying to play it cool. And then he basically like had me leave first out of one door and him leave out of another door. And at first I was like, oh my God, this is because of this. But it was because he had like rumors at the time because he was like dating.

a bunch of bottles or whatever, whatever, live your life. So then we ended up talking on and off like for a year and a half after that. Yeah. Oh, so he was not phased. He did not know. No, I was phased though. Like for me, he did. Yeah. Like, how long did it take for you to recover from this? Yeah. Well, I don't drink coffee on dates anymore. Um, so. Like sticking to the, uh, the tap water. But wait, so you talked to him for a year and a half after. That's, Yeah, for like a year and a half. Now I was rooting for you guys. What happened?

Well, basically, it was like one of those things. So I'm like a huge Stevie Nick Stan and he's like close to her. And there's one of those situations where like I had concerts to like see her at like City Field with my friend. And then he texts me like day of like, hey, like are you in New York? I have tickets to go like if you want to meet Stevie. And I was like, I can't do this to my friend. friend i can't and i was also like girl's girl yeah so and then it just like after that it kind of fizzled out like that was about it see that would make me think he would want you more because you're like

actually i'm already going with my girlfriend like and you're and he knows that you're a fan of stevie nick so like that oh my gosh you are iconic i would have been like my friend this is iconic i do i think this is iconic shit i'm obsessed with this story have you did have you talked to him since No, not since then. Honestly, no. Do you have to sign an NDA? No, that's probably why I'm saying. I probably shouldn't say this shit because I'm still in the industry, but I'm at the point where I'm like, you know, life short, whatever. Also, we're not going to expose you. This is amazing. Do you think he knew you that you blew up the bathroom and he was just like, like, who happens? I guess he was like super chill. We had a whole conversation about like acne, struggle journeys. Like, he was very. Honestly, like, kind of got like friend zone vibes from him on my end and I feel horrible saying that but it was kind of one of those like disillusionment moments where like you meet someone you're like oh they're a real person and yeah you know yeah I get that I get that I've had many experiences in my last like seven years of meeting people where I'm like it's so funny how we put celebrities or like people like that

on a pedestal when they're actually which it sets them up for such failure because they are human and so they're going to be human and then they're like, oh, I'm not this like shiny object, I'm just a real person which is like nice but also it's very humbling for them I'm sure but that's, you felt friends on with Harry Styles yeah, this is iconic, I'm obsessed.

Was there anyone else in the restaurant or did they like rent it out for you guys or what? There were like, I would say, were they paid actors? To this day I'm like, we're, I don't know. It is like one of those like hip places. I don't know if like, you know, like New York, there's like socially stuff, whatever. It's like one of those.

places, but it's also a coffee shop that I've been to after. So it's like, I don't know if that was rented out or if he just like picked a low key place where like, it's like a place where you, people go and they usually see celebrities and just don't react. Because it's also New York. Yeah. Yeah, that's so true. That's true. And so did you guys hook up? No. I, I, you're like, no, no. I just told you friend zone. Yeah. No, no. And I, I don't think I was like in the right place mentally but he did he was very nice and we were under age of the time but he did tell me that he was hung over that day which i appreciated the honesty and yeah we love an honest king i remember him saying like oh yeah i went to soul cycle and i just felt the tequila sweating off of me and i'm like

oh that's funny because when i'm hung over i'm in bed with burger king i'm not a soul cycle who the shit goes to soul cycle when they're hung over that is like hardcore no that's what i know we weren't compatible. Yeah, you're like, and friend zone. Yeah. That was, that was it for me. You got the air. Could never be me. I love it, but not me. You're like, we can be friends, but you drink coffee and go to Soul Cycle. I drink tequila and lay in bed and eat chocolate. Exactly. Yeah. That's pretty. Oh, my gosh, what a great story, though. I feel like models probably have so many fun dating stories because, like, we all know Leonardo DiCaprio will not date anybody but a young model. And I just want to know like have you dated anyone else famous since then not like official but i have

been on dates with honestly i don't even care if this gets out because like whatever you know yeah we don't know you are uh well i mean it doesn't even matter uh dang cook oh shit uh i kissed jo jonas once but that was he was shorter than me so it was like a little weird he was quite short yeah and then john francis daly not that famous but somebody bill and who something one oh my god this is so fun oh john stamos creep creep what he's low he's low-key creepy because it was like uncle jesse i know i know i know i one of my friends hooked up with uncle joey and he was also a creep you know it's always like the innocent one makes sense though yeah no uncle joey gives me creep vibes uncle jessie i mean

he's so i feel like he's so charming and sexy i wouldn't get creepy vibes from him, damn it. Yeah, it was like one of those instances where, like, I was out with my friends and also my agent, and he was like, oh, have her come to my table. And it's just like, I don't like when guys are like that. You know what I mean? But I was young and naive. Do you know who now I'm really going to age myself? Do you know who Brett Ratner is? That name sounds familiar, but you're going to have to give me contacts. He's like, he's just like a really big movie producer or he was back in the day. And he did the same thing to me. I was host to seen at a restaurant. And he was like bring her to my table. I want to tell her that she can be in my movies.

Oh, yeah. Actually, I act all like, at the time, I was like, oh, my God. Yeah, no, of course, because that's like a power dynamic and they totally like take advantage of it, especially. And I was a dingling, like, 19 year old being like, oh my God, I moved to Vancouver because I wanted to be in movies. This is my chance. Yeah, no, I'm the same. I'm from Illinois. So I'm like from like the most holdunk place. So everything. And you probably trust everybody. Exactly. Well, not anymore, but I definitely did then. That, hey, you've got to like learn the hard way, I guess sometimes. Oh, my gosh, what, that is, and do you live in New York now?

Well, I mean, I live in Hoboken, New Jersey, but it's across the river. Oh, yeah, amazing. Oh, that's amazing. Oh, my gosh. Well, it was so lovely to meet you. I loved this story. And I'm looking you up on Instagram. I want to follow you.

Okay. Bye. Okay, bye. Have a good day. Okay, well, I enjoyed that a little too much. I love, like I said, connecting with Vino's. It's one of my favorite things that, like, literally just was my cup of coffee this morning. I feel so happy about it, and I feel like you guys will really enjoy these stories as well.

So I got a little inspired by the last one, and I think the next Vino Confessional booth should be about a celebrity. Like, if you've ever hooked up with, I'm talking like maybe Jonathan Taylor Thomas back in the day. We love a short king. And maybe you, like, hooked up with Chris Catan. And I don't know why he just changed my mind. It's because he tried to hook up with me once. But like anybody from A to Z that we might know tell us your confession and your hookup story or a first date with a celebrity. Anything to do with a celebrity that you think we'd be like, oh my God, no way.

So email your stories to Off the Vine podcast at gmail.com. Make sure if it's a good one, it's in the subject, like really clear what happened so we can pick you. Okay, you guys, that's a wrap on the first vinyl confessional booth. and I am pleased. So I hope you guys have a good rest of your day and I am really bad at goodbyes. Bye. I'm Caitlin Bristow.

Your session is now ending. And if I'm being honest, I wouldn't mind a rating and review.
