Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe

#975. Kelsey Cook just had a very chill week: she dropped her first Netflix special AND married fellow comedian Chad Daniels within days of each other. Casual!Kelsey and Kaitlyn get into the very chic experience of getting married for a second time, how a foosball web series somehow led Kelsey to her now-husband, and what happens when two comedians fall in love and suddenly anything you do could become someone's stand-up material. When the conversation gets deeper, Kelsey opens up about finding her place in an already-established family and how comedy has helped her navigate one of the hardest chapters of her life with her mom's dementia.And then, naturally, things take a turn. We're talking the very real phenomenon of needing to poop in a Blockbuster, an airplane bathroom experience so horrifying it earned a spot in her Netflix special, and why interrupting a comedian's set probably isn't your best shot at going viral.Listen to the episode, then go watch Kelsey do what she does best: turn the things that should probably traumatize her into comedy!If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#974. Whitney Fransway is back on reality TV... and this time, Bachelor Nation was just the warm-up. Whitney joins Kaitlyn to talk about going from The Bachelor to Bravo's In The City—and why putting her real relationship on TV was a whole different experience. She opens up about moving across the country for Kenny, going from long-distance to living together, having their relationship picked apart by the cast and viewers, and the unexpected tension that could impact whether they return for Season 2.Plus, Whitney gets into making friends in your 30s, where she stands with the cast today, and the moments with Kenny—and the rest of the cast—that cameras caught but viewers never got to see.Was reality TV round two worth it?

#973. It's amazing how two people can answer NSYNC questions for over 25 years... and still tell stories you've never heard before.Lance Bass and Joey Fatone are on the pod, and somehow we go from *NSYNC reunion rumors... to Broadway... to Britney Spears... to hot dogs... to Christmas cats... and it all makes perfect sense.We get into what it was actually like getting back into the studio together after all those years, why the band never really "broke up," and what fans still get completely wrong about where everyone stands today. They share behind-the-scenes stories from the height of boy band mania, open up about growing up in the spotlight before social media, and explain why watching fame from the inside looked very different than it did from the outside.But honestly? Our favorite part of this episode is just listening to these two together. They roast each other nonstop, finish each other's stories, completely derail the conversation (more than once), and had us laughing so hard we almost forgot we were recording a podcast.We also talk about their new E! series Cocktail Wars and play a couple of games that reveal who you'd actually want to be stuck at a bar with.Whether you grew up in the TRL era or you're just here for the laughs... this one's for you.If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#972. Calling all Big Brother fans! This week, Kaitlyn sits down with one of the most talked-about houseguests of the season, Jason De Puy, for his first podcast since leaving the Big Brother house. From the Tea Party to the biggest alliances, power shifts, and everything the live feeds didn't show, Jason is spilling it all!They dive into what it was really like keeping his biggest secret in the house, his emotional gameplay, who he thinks is actually running the game, which players are getting the wrong edit, and the behind-the-scenes moments only someone who lived inside the Big Brother house could share.If you're obsessed with Big Brother, live feeds, and game strategy, this is the deep dive you've been waiting for. And if you're not? You'll still be hooked on the behind-the-scenes chaos, production secrets, and what it's really like to live under 24/7 surveillance.If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#971. Two years ago, Taylor Strecker came on Off the Vine, and somehow she's packed some of life's biggest milestones into the time since.She catches Kaitlyn up on becoming a mom, why she never actually wanted kids (at first), and the surprisingly honest conversation she and Teddy are having about baby number two. She also pulls back the curtain on House of Stassi—from what it's really like filming with your best friend to why she believes reality TV can actually strengthen relationships instead of destroying them.The two also get into internet trolls, friendship insecurities, and whether Taylor is just getting started in the TV world. Plus, the conversation takes a wildly unexpected turn into whether eggs are... chicken periods. (Trust us, you'll want to hear how they got there.)

#970. This episode is basically what happens when KB and Kat press record on the conversations they'd be having anyway. Kaitlyn is back in Nashville for the weekend, which means it's the perfect excuse for a much-needed catch-up with her best friend, Kat. The two dive into Kat's third pregnancy, unpack the heartbreaking Perez Hilton story, and somehow end up asking the very important question: is it finally time for KB to retire her nipple ring?They also put their friendship to the test with a game of "Who Knows Who Better?" and realize they might actually share the same brain. It's funny, unfiltered, and feels like you're hanging out with two BFF's for an hour.If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#969. You probably know him as comedian Des Bishop... or maybe as Hannah Berner's husband. But trust us, there's so much more to his story.Des joins Kaitlyn to talk about the early days of his relationship with Hannah (including the coffee date where he knew almost instantly she was different), what it was really like when she left to film Summer House just days after they started dating, and why he's completely unbothered being introduced as "Hannah's husband."They also dive into the emotional side of nostalgia, why getting older isn't as scary as people think, the surprising reason he moved from Queens to Ireland at 14, learning Mandarin well enough to perform stand-up in China, and the story behind his new Hulu comedy special Bridge & Tunnel. Plus, Des shares his thoughts on modern masculinity, social media, and the one thing we all do that's proof we're way too attached to our phones.This conversation is hilarious, thoughtful, and full of the kind of perspective that'll have you laughing one minute and reflecting the next.If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#968. Stassi Schroeder is back on reality TV, but this chapter looks nothing like the one that made her famous. She joins Kaitlyn for an unfiltered catch-up that goes everywhere—from the surprisingly emotional reason House of Stassi almost feels like therapy, to the very real season she's navigating with Beau after nearly a decade together, two kids, and building a business side by side.The two get honest about getting older, worrying more (not less), why ambition hits differently once you become a mom, and the pressure to have it all figured out when everyone online has an opinion. And because it's Stassi... the conversation somehow detours into breast lifts, baby names, TikTok rabbit holes, and the bold claim that she's never had a nipple hair.It's funny, refreshingly self-aware, and exactly what you'd hope two girlfriends would talk about once the microphones are on.If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#967. Mirrorball champion, Broadway leading man, musician, and now Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro judge... Mark Ballas joins Kaitlyn for a conversation that goes way beyond the ballroom!Fresh off seeing Mark star in Chicago on Broadway, Kaitlyn sits down with him to talk about growing up in one of dance's most legendary families, moving from England to chase his dream, and how that journey led him to become one of Dancing with the Stars' most beloved pros. They also get into his new role on The Next Pro, Broadway life, and why performing live still gives him the same rush after all these years.Plus, Mark opens up about life offstage, from making music with his wife BC Jean to becoming a dad and the creative life they've built together. It's funny, nostalgic, inspiring, and full of stories you've probably never heard before.Whether you're a longtime Dancing with the Stars fan or just love hearing how creative people think, this episode is packed with laughs, behind-the-scenes moments, and plenty of surprises!If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#965. After Kaitlyn shared that Rachel Points helped her save nearly $20,000 on travel, the internet had one question: HOW?!So this week, Rachel Tyers (aka Rachel Points) joins Off the Vine to break down everything you wish someone had taught you about credit cards, points, and travel. Whether you have one credit card or fifteen, Rachel shares the biggest mistakes people are making, why you probably shouldn't be putting all of your spending on your Amex Platinum, why flexible points beat airline credit cards, and the simple three-card strategy she recommends to maximize the rewards you're already earning.Then they tackle the part that confuses almost everyone: actually using your points. Rachel explains how transferring points to airline partners can unlock business-class flights for a fraction of the price, the best websites to search award flights, when to pay cash versus points, whether points expire, and the travel hacks she swears by to save thousands.If you've ever looked at your points balance and thought, "I have no idea what I'm doing," this episode is for you!!If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#964. Jeff Arcuri may be able to win over an entire room of strangers, but can he figure out why the guy Kaitlyn is dating refuses to laugh?Jeff is back on Off the Vine to talk about the making of his Netflix special, Nice to Meet You, the pressure of capturing the magic of a live show, and what makes his crowd work feel so effortless. He also reveals the unexpected hobby he'd pick if comedy never worked out, shows off his surprisingly good singing voice, and helps Kaitlyn investigate whether the man she's dating has a broken laugh reflex—or simply doesn't think she's funny.They also catch up on married life with Katie Thurston, the never-ending renovations on their new Brooklyn home, and what their future family plans look like while life continues moving at full speed.It's funny, unfiltered, and full of the kind of tangents that make you feel like you're sitting at the table with them.If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

She opens up about navigating burnout, a breast cancer diagnosis that shifted her perspective, moving back to New York, and the lessons she's learned through every major pivot along the way.Plus, Kaitlyn puts Jaclyn's investor instincts to the test in a game of Invest or Pass, pitching everything from startup ideas to some of the biggest brands we all know as Jaclyn reveals what she'd invest in, what she'd pass on, and why.Whether you've followed Jaclyn for years or this is your first introduction, this conversation goes far beyond business.

#960. Most people know Dhar Mann as the face behind the viral videos that inspire millions around the world. But what you don't always see is everything that happened before the success.In this episode, Dhar opens up about growing up as the son of immigrant parents, feeling like an outsider, navigating public failure, and why he believes the hardest seasons of life often become the foundation for your greatest purpose. We talk about the businesses that didn't work out, the moment he was ready to quit after creating video after video with little traction, and how one final upload changed everything.We also get into the serendipitous story of how he met his wife, why he believes every twist and setback in life is leading you exactly where you're meant to be, and the surprisingly funny story behind buying Khloé Kardashian's former home. It's proof that the moments that don't make sense in the moment often end up meaning everything.Whether you're chasing a dream, picking yourself back up after a setback, or simply trying to figure out what's next, this conversation is a reminder that your biggest breakthrough might be hiding inside the chapter you want to skip!You can check out Dhar's new podcast "What Happens Next", Out Now!If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#951. The second Kaitlyn discovered Jeffrey Keller on Instagram, she had one thought:"I need to get high with him."If you don't know Jeffrey, he's the comedian who accidentally became the internet's favorite gummy guy. One edible, one cooking video, and suddenly he's selling out comedy shows across the country.The original plan was to talk about his rise from musical theatre kid to stand-up comedian—and to be fair, they did. But somewhere along the way, Jeffrey pulled out his vape, Kaitlyn decided that sounded like a good idea, and the interview took a turn.What followed was a wildly unhinged conversation filled with Broadway stories, comedy, spray tans, New York rats, exes' initials tattooed on ankles, why Jeffrey's dad still isn't impressed by 47 tour dates, and the anxiety of pressing "post" on the internet.Also, Kaitlyn may or may not have gotten a little high with the gummy guy.One thing's for sure: by the end of this episode, both of their stomachs hurt from laughing.

This week, Kaitlyn sits down with Christina Kirkman for a raw and unexpectedly emotional conversation about growing up in the spotlight, losing your identity, and finding your way back.Christina shares what it was really like winning a nationwide competition with over 10,000 kids and being thrown into one of the biggest shows of our childhood, All That. But what happens after the cameras stop?From bullying and becoming a “shell” of herself, to years of rejection and rebuilding her confidence, she opens up about the long road back — and why she realized she wasn't chasing fame, she just genuinely loved performing.They also get into where she's at now: stepping back into acting on her own terms, and the dream roles she's finally ready for (female Deadpool, anyone?).

He literally is.Today Fancy Hagood is on the pod, and he shares his story — with a lot of humor along the way.He was signed to Scooter Braun and launched under the name “Who Is Fancy”… because they literally hid his identity while pushing his music. We talk about what that was like behind the scenes, being a gay man in the industry, and why fitting into the “right version” of yourself still matters more than it should.And then… we completely spiral.We play a game where you either answer the question — or you have to text someone: “still thinking about that one time…”, with no context.One of us texted a therapist. The other texted a Pretty Little Liar.This episode is chaotic, full of tangents, and a lot of laughs. Enjoy!If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!
