770 - Peter Boghossian (Part 2): How much would you stand up for what you believe in?

Peter Boghossian, an American philosopher, pedagogist, and author, had explained what happened to him for the past years, and why was he being investigated. Now he explained why he choose to hand in his resignation letter, along with why he wrote the open letter to Portland State University. And how far would he go to stand up for what he believed in! Now, ask yourself, how much would you stand up for what you believed in.

Drink to your confession and hear what you have to say about anything, Bachelor. Let's shake it up some more. Here's Kaitlyn. Welcome to Grape Therapy. I'm your host. Kaitlyn Bristowe. Your session is now starting. Oh, your pretty hair. Oh, we have you not seen yet. Now seen what? Get ready to get out dinner then. Oh my god. Oh my, I love it. It's great. Thanks. I did it because I'm going to Miami, and I felt like I needed it to be a sexy b***h because that's what Miami is full of. Sexy b***hes and i need your hair like you add, like 12 inches to it. Yeah. Oh, amazing. Actually, I think 22 perfect. Yeah, I think from here down, it's 22 inches. Pino, sir. Oh, I would like to sit in my baby. I would like to sit here. Do you OK there? OK, tell me about trashy sangria. What's happening in their trashy sangria is this is the drink that I came up with during the pandemic. OK, so I was, you know, it's hard times, hard times during that time. Yeah, Paramore. And so I basically had some frozen fruit in my freezer and in a bottle of liquor. And so I was trying to if I really wanted to drink like a cute bartender to make me a drink. And that wasn't happening during that time because L.A. was completely closed down. So I took some ice. I found some crystal light in my cabinet. Do you know like powdered crystal light? Yeah, hurts my gut. It's incredible. What do you mean? What? I don't know. Every time I drink crystal light, my stomach hurts. So bad. That's so interesting because I'm trying to figure out what's in it. Because if you look at the ingredient list it, there's nothing except I don't know a little mercury. Maybe? Who knows? But like, it's literally no no sugar, no cholesterol, no nothing. And so I took a little of that crystal light powder found at your local Wal-Mart and threw a can of Lacroix over it through some frozen berries in there and a couple of shots. And and now this is trash is in great minus the shots. I'm not doing alcohol right now, OK? You know, it's a little early in the day. Alcohol, either I'm doing coffee right now. Oh, perfect. But yeah, it's delicious to drink and that sounds quite nice, actually. And it's beautiful if you had the berries into it makes it even prettier. Well, OK. So the stylist for The Bachelor and Bachelorette, Kerry, seven, he loves vodka and crystal light lemonade loves it. And oh yeah, so refreshing. And so I was like, Oh, I'll try that. Except of course, with tequila because I don't do vodka. And I had the worst gut rot for days, and then I was like, Oh, that must have been something else. Then I had a crystal light with water. Severe tummy ache. And then I tried one more time, just to be sure. And sure enough, s**t my pants sheer. Anyways, OK, I was just looking on Instagram for you. What did you do? Something in your mouth? Yeah, like a baby or something? My God. So it feels like it can't be that great. Maybe I don't know it. Just Yeah, okay. Well, I mean, let's talk through this. Like, who's addicted? I just think no one's now and anyone. I would hope they were perfectly manicured down there. We like to, you know, trim the grass trim or fully shave. I don't like a fully shaved look. Are you into either? Oh, OK. Yeah, well, especially for a guy. It's a weird look like I tried it for myself. I had enough. It was bald eagle style. Yeah, and it just, I don't know. Yeah, it looks something like, first of all, let me just preface this by saying women can not shave their armpits or their I just personally like a bald eagle. Look for myself. Dull. Then vibes and but for men, I prefer like a little hair down there, I like, it's like, I don't know. Just a little something, but again, well-manicured. My balls are hairless with this one. No hair on the balls, so. Yeah. Mm. How can. Like what happened like, is it genetic? No, I just have no hair, am I made sure I just say that I shaved it, but I started shaving it early on? Oh yeah, you got to be careful of that one. Yeah, that's it. And then I did, and then I had a good old fashioned Brazilian. Yeah, and I've done that a few times. I did the Argentinean like, it's like a hot molasses are not hot. It's like a room temperature of molasses type. Look in wax. Yeah, I did that. And so I've I've waxed and done so much to my nutsack that at this point, there's just hair doesn't grow there anymore. It's weird is one of my favorite terms for balls. It's hilarious or sack for your nuts anyways. So yeah, and now I just keep it perfectly manicured. You know, a nice trip, but there's hair, but it's we. How do you wax the flimsy little ball skin? Oh yeah, just like you're doing ever so gently, you just kind of, yeah, you kind of pull it. So it's like nice. And what's the word like? Taut, right? Yeah. And then suck. And then put the. Yeah, I know it wasn't fun, but yeah, now that doesn't tickle. I bet I was just looking on Instagram before you came on here, and I just saw that Jojo Siwa and her ex got back together again. And I just love a good like full circle moment of. And her caption was perfect. Let me just find it for saying because it was literally what I saw, right when you were logging on Jojo. I didn't even know Jojo Siwa was dating anybody. Yeah, she had a girlfriend. She's 12 years old. Yeah, in my mind, Jojo is still 12 years old. Charges? Yeah, for young. But she said, If you love something, let it go if it comes back. Dot dot dot. And I was like, Oh my God. And tune in Disneyland. And I just feel like I really liked them as a couple, just via Instagram. That's really sweet. So when they broke up, I was like, Wait, that's sad. And then they got back together and I was like. True love does exist. Yeah, maybe, maybe true love really does exist. Thank you, Jojo Siwa. Yeah, how could you? Are you a fan of going to Disneyland? I see there in front of the Magic Castle in California, huh? Like is it like Instagram? Well, in the United States in general? Oh oh, is it like a popular theme park, America? Yeah, it's, you know, up and coming. This little guy named Mickey Freakin Mouse heard of him, but I heard of him. But you know, I wanted to go with you to Disneyland because I thought that would be really fun for something we could do together, especially once they started serving wine, which is, oh yeah, they've been doing it for a while. But on the California Adventure side, which is this is the Anaheim park here in California, but they have the other two parks, the main one and then you walk across. Same price. It's like 200 bucks to get in, but they serve wine. And so I thought, Oh, that'd be cool, because then we could have wine, Goan rides and. And I was trying to sell it to you pretty hard. And yeah, you weren't picking up what I was putting down. Let's put it that way. You look like you rather do anything. You do like the idea of going to Disney with you. But here's my issue I need to do Disney boogie style like I don't want to wait in line ups. Not because I think I'm better than other people because I just don't like waiting in line for rides. And that's one of the reasons I don't like going to theme parks because I'm like, I just sort of wait so long and then I'm like, What doesn't make you appreciate the ride more? Possibly now. Now it makes me a bit resentful because the rides all of three minutes, but I waited over an hour. Yeah, brutal now. Yeah, but I would. OK, could you imagine what kind of funny photo would we do and when it's like, you know, when you come around the bend and the roller coaster snaps? Yeah. Oh, on the log ride. Yeah. Oh, it's out. OK, yeah, you have to like, take you on a ride if you show your tits. I think people have done that in the past, and they're very aware. So they don't release the photos, so I'm sure if they saw you in line, they'd be like, We know that nipple piercings come out. Mm hmm. We're not letting her that little Canadian Maple Delight on this today, slut now. Yeah, yeah. But I I love going to Disneyland, but you're right about the rides, but you could buy, which is very expensive, a personal little Mouseketeer to walk your a*s around a tour guide. Yeah, I would do that. How much is it? I priced it before the pandemic, it was like $6000. Are you s**tting me? I think it was around 6000, but there was like, Yeah, and that's a minimum of like, I think for three to four hours. There are people that listening to this right now that are very into Disneyland and they're be wrong, you know, like there are people that so. And that's a whole different world. I mean, can't I just do like a click the link and go to Disneyland? Doesn't Disneyland need some serious promotion? Like can they help out on my Instagram is so crazy you would think I have a couple clients who are little Disney stars, and so I was excited to work with them because we thought, you know, I'm going to get myself a little fast front of the line situation now. It doesn't now, even to their own people. Yeah, they were like, I think they offered someone a guide, which was great, but it was only up to a certain amount of people and it was only for like an hour Disneyland. They know they have a good thing. And so, yeah, they've got to figure it out. Disneyland is dialed in. Yeah, they sure there's other brands that are like, Oh, what's that brand? Golden Goose sneakers? That's a brand they have everybody wearing. Those are the sneakers that look completely worn like they've been buried in literal dirt. Yeah. And they're like, what? Five to seven hundred bucks are expensive, are they? I don't own a pair, but they're pricey, but they don't really do celebrity gifting. Interesting. I always find it. I mean that just such a flex when people don't do celebrity gifting like, I actually don't need J.Lo to wear these shoes. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was talking to their PR person and she was like, We don't really do gifting for people because, I mean, Rihanna buys them in bulk. And, you know, a lot of people are wearing them. So there's not really a need for us to do that. And I was like, So Kaitlyn flies in on Thursday, and she really wants them. Oh, fair enough. That's crazy. But I mean, we could do other things like, we can work bridal places right for my Hey. Yes. Yes, oh for sure. Well, because with your wedding, I know you're going to want to one go big. Not because of you. I don't think. Let's just call it what it is, Kaitlyn, what is it? This is Jason Tactics wedding. The actress is a Tartick special because if it was your if it was you planning it, I feel like it would have been a really cute barbecue type moment like sponsored by Hot Topic. We're like, you know, just pack fun and catch up like, I would have ketchup everywhere. And just like it would be really low key, is it more of a party? I don't think it would be very like over the top, just because you're not that person in. Again, I don't want to speak for you, but we've talked in the past and you're like, Hey, I just got a justice of the peace and get a cute little jumpsuit. Yes, I see. I'm OK. That is me. And then or I'm polar opposite where I'm like, OK, but if we're going to do it, yeah, because Middleton, here she comes. Yeah, like this will be the royal wedding of America. And I will have like acrobats. I will have acrobats and champagne fountains. And like, I don't know, like the finale of Dancing With the Stars when you came down on that giant that I will come now. Yes, yes, that's perfect. But but then Jason's more in the middle where I'm like, OK, so I think we should do it here. Oh, no, that's that's just so expensive. They're going to just take advantage of us because of this. And I'm like, Oh, OK, so backyard, then no, no, no, that's too cheap. Oh, my is Jason to handling like the negotiations because get him in there. You know the shark tank. Here we come. Yeah. Oh yeah, he will be handling all of the negotiations. That's right. Except for me, styling. Let's just not go. I'll. Can I close with the ball? You deal with me. They got it. Maybe I don't need the jacket low. I'm sure I could find. I'm like, Oh my God. Jason, come on. You know what? Maybe I don't need the jacket is so. So then he would say, All right, so whatever you're doing and wherever you might be listening to this part right now, I bet it could be even better. A little Starbucks. OK? Am I right? Well, I have a nice little rest for you. Starbucks has a buyer energy drink with caffeine naturally found in coffee fruit. OK, that's energy. That's good. So here's the deal. It comes from three delicious fruity flavors this mango, guava, raspberry lime and pineapple passionfruit, and it really is refreshing fruit flavored. It's a boost of energy in a way that only Starbucks can really deliver. Gosh, I trust them. I love me some Starbucks. I'm really excited to try this, especially this summer, since it just sounds refreshing. I feel like it would be the perfect little beverage to bring on the go, since it comes in a convenient can. It's perfect for road trips for walking the dogs, just grabbing some energy in between meetings, which I could always use. You can really. Take it with you or throw it in a bag or purse to bring along, no matter what you have going on. So why don't you try it with me? OK? And let me know what you think. Starbucks Buy Energy Drink is available online at grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations nationwide. OK, a lot of us are doing that thing now. We've all been in our places a lot recently, so we're doing that thing where you look around and you imagine what you really want your home to be like having a balcony to have your own outdoor space or maybe an extra closet, or you might want a room for an actual home office. Now the cool thing is that there's a thing for that. It's apartment scum. They've already helped millions of renters find their perfect place to live with powerful search tools and 3D virtual tours to narrow down exactly what you want. Apartment WSJ.com is just the thing to get you into the space you keep imagining. Visit apartments dot com the place to find a place. Now back to off the vine. Grape Therapy. First of all, first of all, eighth of all, we've already gotten into a million things. How are you? What are you doing? What's new? Where are you? You've a new chic background, but that's still a huge apartment, right? Yeah. What studio up here and yeah, apartment downstairs. And yeah, I repainted everything I told me that I just haven't seen it. Oh, it feels so good. I went through this phase in my life where I wanted everything. This was pre-pandemic. I liked my place to feel very sterile and cold, like a dermatology office outcome in welcoming. Yeah, yeah, very welcoming. Yeah. And I always see my as you know, well, I would warm it up for you. But typically I keep my place at a nice, comfortable 64 degrees, some serial killer s**t. I like it to feel like an urgent care or your local emergency room. I like it also like wear rubber gloves and yeah, it's like a kill room. I'm like, Yes, you're right. I just like it cold. I don't know. I grew up in a colder house, you know, temperature wise. And so but once the pandemic hit and I was at my spot and again, it was like just to give listeners a visual while you were here. But it was a lot of like concrete grey, and that was pretty much it is very monochromatic, grays and black and a little splash of white here and there. And so it didn't feel warm and cozy at all. So we this is the room that used to be all black. Well, it was, yeah, it was gray and black. And so now I had this awakening during the pandemic, I was like, I want like trees and I wanted to feel light and bright. And so now everything is cream and beige and chocolate browns, and it's very warm and like cognac colors and there's an olive tree and it just feels like completely different. Yeah, I love the vibe now. A legit olive tree. Yeah, well, I think restoration hardware at restaurant, they're super fake, but oh OK. I was like, Did you change the what is what did they do in that restoration hardware in Nashville? Oh, that's right. They like, changed all of the plumbing and had their own irrigation under the building so that they could grow real olive trees. And I respect the hell out of that. Can I say, Kaitlyn? I've had a lot of beautiful dinners in my day. I've been wined and dined by some of the greatest the sultan of Brunei. Sure. No, not really. But some pretty powerful players. You know, I've been in this godforsaken industry for a while, so I've had a few steaks in my day, but nothing really top of the heap. I'd say top five moments was sitting at a table having a delicious, very expensive glass of wine, which I knew nothing about. But you were very familiar with the vineyard. Yeah, and we were drinking what you, Jason and I, we were sitting there at this little corner table booth. It was all granite countertops. It was perfect weather outside. A little bit stormy, but nice for just like a nice little sweater. Yeah. So what about that sweater weather? And it was just, you know, we had steak and we had desserts, and it was I was like, the best night. The conversation was great. Your calls live, right? That was a really nice little date night the three of us had. Oh, I loved it, and I was like, Man, if I replay in my head, I was like, That was just really special night. I love those moments with you. I love those moments with you too. And I feel like we've had a couple of those special moments at restoration hardware. So if you're listening restoration hardware, please sponsor us, you know? Oh, that place is incredible. Oh gosh, I could just yeah, I'm mind blowing that they don't have social media. They don't have an Instagram. They don't how sexy. I know, yeah, I was, I asked the waiter and he was like, Yeah, we don't have any and we can like hash tag us. But now it's something to do with the owner. He's not into Instagram or anything like that. And so well, he goes against my theory that if you want to build a brand, you need to have Instagram. He's like, Go yourself. No, you don't. Yeah, we're just going to put olive trees everywhere and charge, you know, 50 bucks for some Shibata. Yeah, it's worth that. Olive oil say it is worth it because that olive oil probably comes from those trees. Yeah, it does. Yeah. Why did notes you like the whole irrigation system and how to keep them alive in a national climate? And they built the whole restaurant around olive trees and they are massive. I thought they were fake, but yeah, that's a that's a beautiful spot. I didn't know there's other locations. I think there's one in Miami. How long are you going to keep this long hair for just till Monday? Oh, OK. Wait, is it just clipping just clippings? Gibbons Yeah. Oh, OK. Because I went with one of my girlfriends and she had these. They like, bonded it. Yeah. No, that takes so long. Plus, my hair can't handle the bonding. My hair will just fall out because my hair's so thin in the first place that if I do the bonding hair extensions, it literally just I'll brush my hair in like eight pieces will come out at the same time, and then I'll look at the root of the of the tip. And like my real hair, Root has come out with it. And then I got so. Oh, so it's definitely not good for your hair, like you have to have some very strong roots to get that s**t in. Yeah, that's why I only do clip ins and I only do it for like, like the weekend, I'm going to just clip them in. I won't sleep in them like it'll be. Oh, that's perfect. Yeah, yeah. I've never I've never seen you with long clip ins like that. No, I've never done it. Like, I went to my hairstyles today to be like, Hey, can you cut these for me? And he was like, Why don't you rock them long? And he's like, like, Kardashian style. And I was like, say less. Yeah. Done and done. Yeah, great. I was like, Okay, I'm I'm down. I can't wait to see you with the bob. I just I want to see what the cute, short haircut. I think. Well, you've done short. But like, I think you could pull off a very cute. I want to go short and pink. So bad. I just loved having pink hair. It was one of my favorite things in the world was having pink hair. I didn't know you when you had pink hair lot. Surely you did. When was that? Well, it was only for a brief moment like it was. It was definitely in a time where I used cake spray to make my hair pink like Wal-Mart cake spray that you would spray a cake with. I sprayed my hair with it, and then I left it in for 48 hours. Oh my God. And then I washed it, and then it went to a really nice, pretty pink color. Wow. Yeah. OK, it didn't damage your hair at all. Well, that's fine. It's edible. So it's Lennon. Stella was the one that taught me that trick. And who's Lennon, Stella? Oh, God forbid. Lennon, Stella is like, she's actually Canadian, but she's a singer and she is such a vibe and she's got the coolest style. She lives in Nashville. She was on the show, Nashville, but her music career has really taken off, and now she shows you that little she gave. Yeah, she gave it that color. Do the little color do? It was literally three dollar cake spray from Wal-Mart. Do you paint that painting yourself in the background? I did. Holy s**t. Low? Yeah. I'm an artist now. Yeah, yeah. Switching gears. Oh, I sold artists. I sold a painting on offer up and I framed it. I painted it and I sold it for $650. Sure. Did we? That's awesome. I can't believe someone bought it for being honest, but you made it look cool. You should start doing that stuff. Do you love doing it? See, here's the thing. Kaitlyn, I was so proud of it, and I was definitely feeling myself because I sold one. And then I had a couple of friends over there like, Oh my god, these are beautiful. And basically, it's just taking like plaster, but there's a very specific type of plaster, and then you could add colors and stuff to it, and then you could. There's different like masonry type tools and you could do cool designs. And so I got really into it during the pandemic, and I was just I made like six pieces. My mom's like, We're good, got to calm down with the painting. I'd also like Gift. Yeah. Also, if there was any old painting, it didn't matter. You could just cover it with this plaster. So it wasn't like I had to go buy fresh canvases. So it's much cheaper. In that sense, soukous canvases are expensive. Like, that's all. Yeah, it's adding up. But then I got so into it, and then I ended up meeting up with one of my friends and she's big on tech talk, and I was like, Look at these cool paintings. I'm doing this plaster and acrylic type art. And she was like, Yeah, it's like a Tik Tok trend as like, Wow, Tik Tok trend. She goes, Yeah, everybody is doing now. So like, she showed me the videos and and they're much better than mine. And they're yeah. But if your spouse is this good and if you kept going and made it into a thing and we could like. Auction one for charity every once in a while, but then all the other ones, though really fun, we could have like a whole auction. I'd be like, Hey, but oh, guess what? I had my first. I'll take it bid, and I didn't think I was going to win and I won. But I'm going to Hawaii. Oh yeah. Wait, what? When was this? So Jason and I did this event called Waiting for Wishes, which is this ex-football player? His name's Kevin Carter. He's incredible, and he's done this for 20 years. This thing called waiting for wishes, and he has celebrities come and wait on tables, and all the money goes towards his charity and they make wishes come true for little kids who are going to school. It's amazing. And so I've done it. This is my third year and you served the tables and you make tips and all the chips obviously go and they do auctions. You probably are. So into it. Back to your roots, kids, like you are the baddest waitress. No, I was the worst because I was like, Oh my God, I thought I'd never be doing this again in my life, so I would just work people for their tips. Instead of actual actually serving. I'd be like, What got me to sing and dance? I'll do a song dance for you right now. Anything to not carry a plate if I don't? Yeah, you're triggered. Yeah, I was. But they were doing a little bidding war and so we had a break. And so I was sitting at the table with Werth Cat and I'm sipping on a little wine and they're doing a trip to Hawaii. And I was like, Well, that's for a good cause. And they get, you know, 2000 never really do. I have to $500 and they get up to five fifty five and it's just go. And so I was like, yeah, a hundred. And then nobody went for six and I was like, Oh s**t. OK. And then, you know, like on friends, when Joey bought a boat and then you realize it, he was like, I just thought it was like, whoever gets to the closest amount of money. Like, write it down. And it's like a silent auction. And he like one. He's like, Cool. I was the closest one. But he had to buy the boat. That was me. I was like, Yeah, why is it so? I just wanted to raise my hand during an auction and I did it. And then the bidding stopped. And now I'm like, That's OK, because that's, you know, going towards a great cause and I get to go to Hawaii out of it. And it is. Yeah, yeah. And you get to go to Hawaii. We do, you know, when you're going, is this a specific time? Or you can just use it whenever? Yeah, you can book it. I think whenever you should book it, like three months in advance, and I think I might go on like a solo mission and have like a spiritual awakening. Oh, I love that. Yeah. Find yourself in Hawaii. Oh. Oh, I want to go now. That would be selfish. You want to go, Yeah, I go to Hawaii. Yeah, that's on my bucket list. I haven't traveled the world with you. I just want to go to one place. I've done Nashville and the way I wanted to share Hawaii. Yeah, I'll go for like two days and then you come meet me for three days and then, Oh, that's perfect. It'll we'll get the best of both worlds and we'll just get off the beach and s**t because I know you've had a good time with Cleo. You guys are ultimate travel buddies. And so she was like, Kaitlyn's actually so fun to travel with. You should travel with her at some point. Yeah, I'm a good traveler. I feel like I'm a good travel buddy because I'm I'm like, Go with the flow and nothing can really throw me off when I'm on vacation. When it comes to a trip, would you rather have everything planned out like the itinerary? Oh, all right. You just want a free fall. Wait, I can. As long as I'm not making the itinerary and someone else is doing it for me, I can appreciate a schedule or an itinerary on a trip, but I don't want to feel the pressure that I have to do all of them. Fair enough. Yeah, OK, but you won't catch me making an itinerary. Got it ! Well, that's where I come in because I thrive with the schedule. Well, not the schedule I just love. Like these are the hot spots. These are the great restaurants that hopefully we can go to and let me just make reservations. I depend on people like you on vacation because I need someone like that to go with me. Otherwise we'll just be in our room. Yeah, ordering chicken fingers, which is nothing wrong with that and skinny dipping at night. And yeah, that would be our perfect trap. But that's OK. We definitely need to do. That's crazy, actually, that we haven't traveled together. I mean, we've. Yeah, that's stupid. I've lived a lot of life together, but we haven't actually done like a trip of some sort. But I thought, Well, for your bachelorette party, like, I'll get to travel with you there for a little Hawaii moment. That's great, too. I think I'll do my bachelorette party in Canada. Oh, OK, sure. Muskoka now that's more like Lake Okanagan. Perfect. I don't know where that is, but it sounds like that's where I go every summer. You've seen it on my Instagram. Oh, yeah. Lake Okinawa. Yeah, I'm down. Yeah, Okanagan. Oh, perfect. Bookmark this blog and let's talk about mail. Well, because it's me. And if you didn't know me is a very important month. It's Mental Health Awareness Month. It's the perfect excuse to take a pause and think of one thing that you can do to prioritize your mental well-being and then write yourself a little permission slip to get out there and do it. One thing I always want to do for my own mental health is make time on my schedule to talk to a therapist. I do try and do. A lot of things on a daily basis and weekly to make sure I'm just taking care of me, but this is a must for me. So whenever I make time to see my therapist, I know that it's not only helping me through whatever issues that I'm dealing with, but it's also benefiting all parts of my life and my relationships. And what I love so much about Talkspace is that they take some of the pressure off therapy and finding a therapist because it's a really flexible and convenient way to get high quality care. So once you match with one of your licensed therapists, you can message them anytime throughout the app and talk to someone 24 seven without needing an appointment, which just makes the whole therapy thing just so much easier and it fits into your schedule.

It's called first thought and it's just 10 words that all start with low. But you have to tell me the first thing that comes to mind when I say the following words it can be a person, a full on story, a word, a character, a body part. Anything interesting? OK, now I love these. Is this like a psychological game like based on my answers, you know, if I'm a sociopath or not? Yeah, I do have someone writing down your answers and studying them and researching what it what it means. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, it's it's just really a stupid, pointless game that we're going to have fun. It comes to your mind when I say the lottery, oh, lottery depression. Depression comes to mind because I automatically go to o l o got it. OK, I was trying to figure out where you going with that? I think of the lottery winners who are so excited to win, and then they have this huge amount of money and then they end up, you know, losing everything and they're miserable and they're like, I wish I never won. I'd be much happier in my trailer, you know, stuff like that. Wait, is there a documentary on people that have won the lottery and then gone broke? There has to be I'm sure I haven't seen it, but that would be a great one. I'm sure it's been made or is about to come out because that's such a good idea. But I know I've watched a lot of different type of videos, YouTube stuff news. They'll talk about people who dateline specials. Why do I want to pitch this as a show? And I'm the host where I go around and talk to people who've won the lottery, and it's got to be a thing. This has got to be a thing. No, it's great concept and I'm sure it does exist. But I always so yeah, laudanum like depression, people. And I just watch something about a guy who lost everything after he had the world. I was like, Yeah, my friends took advantage of me. My family is like, I just, you know, I overspent. And yeah, he's he's miserable. Yes, the lottery. I hope I never win. I would love to win a city like crossing my fingers and toes. Yeah, I hate money. That's depressing. OK? Long. Long. Hmm. Kaitlyn's hair now is very long. That's the first thing that the penis, but oh, a dick. OK. Love. A priority, crucial. Everything. Oh, that's nice. Oh yeah, it's everything. Love is everything. That's nice. Loyal. Oh, I think of labs, but that's just because I always think of like a loyal lab. But loyalty? Yeah. I just go the Labrador Q Dogs in general, fare up there. Well, is anything going on in your love life, your L-O-V-E life? You know what? Yeah, I went on a couple of dates. OK? You know it was fun. Here's the thing here. Here's the situation I in the gay world, it's it's a thing where it's like no one wants to commit and no one wants to, you know, because especially just the gay world. Oh yeah, for sure. That's not just the gay. I know my girlfriends are saying the same thing had aroused, but with with with gays till like, I feel like it's very sexual. You know, a blowjob is like a handshake these days. Oh, so so I definitely I don't like took up right away. I've had a couple of one night stands. It's not my favorite thing to do. Yeah, but what I've noticed is I'm not looking to commit right now. I kind of just want to, you know, date and I have so much happening. The podcast styling, I want to go and like, hang out with friends. See, fam, there's a lot we're all juggling here remembering to drink enough water. I'm dehydrated, you know? Yeah, take a freakin sip. And so I'm just not in the mental place. Summer's coming up. I want to do fun stuff. And so I'm not trying to be locked down with anybody, but the few dates I have going on because I'm not sleeping with the person. I'm just asking a lot about them and I just want to have great conversation and that turns into you're going to get booed up and they usually take it as you're looking for something much more serious and want a deep convo that's meaningful. You want to get to know somebody. I think that when I mean, fair enough, that usually doesn't happen, I guess on a lot of dates. And if it does, it's just to hook up right away. So if I'm not doing that, then it just usually leads to any guy. I've talked to you thinking like, this is pretty serious. I'm like, Yeah, it wasn't. It was, you know, it was Cheesecake Factory. And it's not that, do you? Not that date. But it was really nice dinner. And I enjoy, you know, and great walk, whatever hanging out there, some Cheesecake Factory as he asked where I wanted to go and it's low key, one of my favorite spots. So he was like, Do you want to go to like more ends, like a fancy spot? And I was like, Honestly, like, I'm craving brown bread. I would I would kill for some Cheesecake Factory those tie lettuce cups appetizer menu. You save a little bit of money when you go on a date with me. So nice. Yeah. And so he's humble and so well, well, he doesn't know me yet, and so little blessing now. Like I will not say in anything less than a five star. No, I'm busy on certain things, but not a lot of not a lot of, yeah, we're same in that way. Not a lot of people know that I do love a good chain restaurant. I live for a chain restaurant. Chris, shout out to Chris. Jason, I went on a date the other night where we played because, you know, we live on that golf course. I was just obviously when I say, you know, we live on a golf course where you do. Yes. Oh, it's all neighborhood backs onto a golf course. Oh, is that what that is? Yeah, I thought it was just a few of the things I say and and and yeah, nice, well manicured lawns. I thought it was just like land that's going to be developed and they just had pretty gra*s. But oh, it's a hole golf course. OK? Amazing. So we went over there and we play this putt putt game and we bet on dinner, which he had to buy because I won that putt putt. I also lost sixty five dollars to him, but he'll get you. But we went to the outback and had a great time with our bartender, Chris. Yes, bloomin onion, some great c**ktails. They make the drinks strong it out back. There's one in Burbank that I'll drive to. Oh, I just loved it. You know, it's so funny. You just talked about outback 'cause I want I was craving. And so do you know she's a friend of mine? You know, the singer Jessie J, Jessie J say, does she like the Outback? Because it's from Australia? She's literally from? Where is she from and the UK? Oh, United Kingdom London said. I actually didn't know that. Yeah, yeah. But she had never heard of it. And she, you know, she likes the booze. Your restaurants are from London. She lives in L.A. We became homies, and so I said, I'm going to take you to. She's like, Maybe we'll go out, have a nice dinner. I said, I'm going to take you to one of my favorite spots. Only take people very special to me. We're going to the outback because I got the outback like Australia, and I was like, Yeah. And so we went and they served this. They serve a brown loaf and they do have one there and have a big knife in it. And so she was like, Oh my God, look, they have big potato. And she thought it was like a giant baked potato, and she was just overwhelmed by the portion size. The Outback has the sample. This means that Paris Hilton and Nicole, we need to do. Oh, I love the Simple Life that was very like, we're going out to wherever no one visits, but sure, the Outback. Yeah, but it was like a culture shock because you'd never been to a place where, you know, they give you big bread and huge appetizers and very strong drinks, and she loved it. It was, I mean, hey, she's a fan now, but that was like she'd never really been to a commercial type chain restaurant. Wow. Well, her eyes have been opened to the glory, be that is a bloomin onion. Yes, it's so good. Oh, and Jason didn't want to go, and then he left. He said, Thank you for making me go there. That was a wonderful experience. Yeah. Do you know what Jason's favorite commercial chain restaurant is? Buffalo Wild Wings. Oh, OK. Yeah, that would count for Chef, does it? Because that's more of like, is it a restaurant? I feel like that's like a subway. Yeah, it's got a it's got tables and chairs and TVs. OK, yeah. OK, which you know, are you questioning me? No, you're just curious. I was surprised to learn. I just. Well, he did a brand deal with them, but it's actually his favorite spot pork and good old P.F. Chang's. Oh, he does love P.F. Chang's. Yeah, I didn't know that was like, why it's so random. He loves, like Asian style food or Chinese food are his two favorite favorite foods. In fact, we have struggled to find good Chinese food in Nashville. And I'm taken to him to a spot tonight at 6:30, and I forget what it's called, but it looks. It's like Chinese cuisine, but like elevated with like nice c**ktails. And it's like in Germantown and it's it looks Germantown. Yeah. Doesn't make sense, but oh, OK, yeah, it's Germantown has a bunch of really good restaurants. Oh, OK, yeah. So this is one of them. I'm really excited. OK? I was thinking we could do some prank calls. Prank calls. Yeah, OK. Oh, this is something called someone probably 1998. I know it's been a while. Yeah. When my when my phone still had a cord on it, if I put it that long, this cords everywhere, you could literally go from the kitchen to like the downstairs bathroom and still be on the same phone with the long cord. Yeah. OK. Well, we we prank call some vinyls around here and I get so nervous. Like, I think I burn calories because my heart rate goes up so high and I'm like, OK, I start to break a little bit of a sweat because I get so nervous. These are your listeners. We're just going to cold call like telemarketers. They send in voicemails because you can call my voicemail. No. Oh OK. And then they leave ideas for us to prank call people. Got it ! OK, I'm down. Have you ever had a prank call happen where someone's like, kind of irritated? Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, I love it. In fact, in fact, the videos have suggested that I please tell them at the end it is a prank call because they feel like it could be a form of bullying. Because I hang up and I go, Oh, I've been thinking that like, you never tell them what? Oh. So that is about it. Yeah, yeah. You just end up like with their day. But I assume that the person's going to call their significant other be like, this just happened to me, and then they can laugh and break the news to them because you want them to live with that fear inside them for a little bit. No. Oh, I you know, I guess you just assumed that like, Oh, that must have been good old Kaitlyn Bristowee. And like, how would they know either? It's probably there's like people go into therapy now these days. Yeah, yeah. Tell them, okay, well, tell them at the end, it's not like Ryan's roses, Ryan's roses. Isn't that where Ryan tries to see if, like, someone's cheating, which you should? Oh, that would be good. Kaitlyn's roses falls in line with the whole bachelorette vibe. Yeah, we can get people cheating on haters. Yeah, but he would call me like, would you like to send roses? Or someone calls with the voice or whatever and says, like you won a free floral arrangement or something like that? Do you want to send it to anyone? And then the guy will usually be like, Yeah, send it to you. You know my rob by his wife, Maria Maria. Yeah. And it's like some side piece. And then he's like, Did I save my rice? Then Maria, I know I just screwed that up for myself was to change the names. But you get what I mean. Like, I was picking up your foot down. That's amazing. OK, so you've done this with me yet. But now we each have one to do. OK. OK. I will do the first one. So let's listen to the first voicemail. OK? Hey, Kaitlyn, my name is Lauren. I'm from South Carolina and I love listening to your podcast. I think it would be really funny for a prank. So my husband, his name's Tyler, he's really into buying and selling things. Anything he can on Facebook Marketplace furniture, he'll do golf cart. He sold a lawnmower that he's gotten from somebody over and sold it to somebody else on Facebook for more. So he's always making money on this stuff. So I think it would be really funny if you came up with some item and claim that he has an expert on Facebook and say that you're interested in buying it, make it some kind of funny item that would just make him go and look, and he would have no idea that this is coming. He's not into podcasts, which he doesn't understand how I listen to podcasts. And then he would tell me about it, and I would just that. So his name is Tyler again, and his number is. By. OK, what do we say that he put an ad out for? So you kind of wish we could actually look it up and find out just to like something like a lawnmower? Yeah. You want a good weed whacker? Oh yeah. Oh, you're lucky that you were aware that you were selling a high end weed whacker? Yeah. And I need it now, and I'll give him $7 for it. Yeah. OK. Standby wise, I'm curious. Seven. I don't know. I see something way more. I feel like this is going to go terribly, go $7. $7. Hi, I'm looking for Tyler is Tyler. Hi, Tyler, my name is Amanda Shaw, and I saw a ad on Facebook for a weed whacker. We. Yeah, and I it looked like you had like the most high end weed whacker I've ever seen in my weed whacking career, so I was just wondering if I could put in an offer. Who is it, those who say you're Amanda Shaw, Amanda Show? Yes. Do you sell things on Facebook, right? Yeah. On the market. Jesus number from your Facebook on my Facebook. Yes. To buy the weed whacker, I'll have a weed whacker. But can you get one and sell it to me more so you can make money? Gloria, give you this moment to solve it if she was. Well, whatever you call it or something, I'm no more. No, I'm not. I'm not the weed whacker, man. Oh, that's sweet. Oh, you, you changed your tune for me. Thank you. I didn't think you really wanted me to have a weed whacker, but now I kind of believe you do. Does Laura know who's calling you right now? Yeah, she does. I think she'll always wear the truth serum and all she'd gathered together for a minute. She started crying. That was the best. I was about to be like. I got this number from Lauren and then I was like, No, Kaitlyn, this is a prank call, you dummy. Oh man, did I have you convinced for a second? Yeah, you did for a second. Amazing. OK, then my job here is done. Can I talk to Lauren for a second? Yeah. OK. Hello. Hi, Lauren. Oh my gosh. You guys are so stupid. I know that's good because I was just telling because I'm podcasting with Lowe, and I was just telling him how some of the videos have been like. Kaitlyn, you really need to tell them at the end that it's a prank call because otherwise you're like kind of bullying them. And I was like, OK. So I was getting close to telling them, anyways, so it's OK now. I was hoping it would happen when I wasn't with them because I'm just not the type person that can keep it together. Well, you did good for about a minute there, and I almost lost it too when I said Amanda shot because every time I go to name is Amanda for Craig calling people and it just comes out of my freakin mouth. So thanks for. Thanks for sending it in. That was fun. Thank you. Have a good day to you. But OK. Are you ready for your turn? OK. Hi, Kaitlyn, my name's Michelle, I'm from Long Island, New York. My friends and I are big rhinos. We're all that epic New York show that will forever go down in history. I was calling to ask you to prank my friend Alexa. She owns her own hair boutique, and she comes across as the most innocent, professional, sweet person. But we, all of her friends, know that she has a dark side, and I think it would be really funny if you called her and asked if you could set up a for her to do your wedding hair that then transition into wanting to do something special for your fiancee. Maybe like braiding your pubes or something crazy like that. I think she I don't know what she'll do. She might go with it or she might freak out, but I think it will be hilarious. Her business phone is. I think would be awesome. Thanks, Kaitlyn. Love you. Bye. We are not seeing braid pubes, they're going to know it's a prank call. I think you should call as low, you're looking for a pub trip. OK. Here we go. If someone called me from a private number two times in a row, I'd be so freaked out. Like, who the hell I'd be hiding in a closet looking out my window, like I'll tell her like we were going to prank her. I reached a fan, Alexis Hair. Say you want to pube trim and they'd be like, Just kidding, it's low. We're trying to prank call you. Yeah. Letter initially open Tuesday through Saturday and Sunday and Monday at my website. Black Hair Blue SI.com: to book appointments online due to high demand, all book appointments as far in advance as possible. Yes, best friends, you can leave me a text message or voicemail and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you. Have a great day. Oh my gosh, you are booked and busy bench boss. Yes, Alexa, this is low and I'm calling with Kaitlyn Bristowe, Canadian Maple Delight, and I was going to prank you and ask if you could turn my pubes or give me a nice whack. But that's not going to happen and you'd be too busy to do it anyway and says, Yeah, so you're definitely not hearing this prank, but that's OK. I'm leaving a voicemail and keep killing it, queen. She's so she's so busy. We're proud of you, queen. Yeah, you are. You're busy and yeah, leaving your voicemail. Have a beautiful day by me, but I don't think she could hear anything you said because you're on my head. Well, hopefully she can listen to the pod and realize what I said. Oh, OK, right? Yeah. OK, amazing. I have to run and I took up a lot of your time, so thank you. We'll talk to you later. OK, thanks now. Love you. Bye bye. I'm Kaitlyn Bristowee. Your session is now ending.
