Off The Vine With Kaitlyn Bristowe

Will the person who nominated Michelle to go on The Bachelor please stand up? Because we still don’t know how this gem of a human ended up on our TV screens, but we’re so thankful that she did! Michelle and KB are reunited to talk about this week’s episode of The Bachelorette and how it feels for both of them to watch it back after experiencing the highs and lows IRL. Ms. Young is coming to us straight from the classroom to share what she learned about her final men during hometown week, to answer some questions from the vinos, and to see if she’s smarter than a fifth grader. We also find out how Michelle imposes boundaries now in her “normal” life, who from her season she believes will be the next top influencer, and what her goals are for her career post-Bachelorette. And of course, Michelle shares her confession and teases what we can expect to see next week during the Men Tell All. Her confidence is so contagious and if we had to give her a yearbook superlative, it might just be for the most-composed Bach

Kaitlyn put out into the world that she wanted to be hypnotized and within days there was a hypnotist arriving for an in-person studio recording getting hypnotized right here on Off the Vine. Talk about manifesting! Vino/fan favorite hypnotist, David Anthony, joins Kaitlyn to talk about the power behind hypnosis for not only entertainment, but also healing, growth and leveling up. David talks about tapping into your subconscious Inception-style, to change the way you deal with stress whether that be distracting, blaming, placating or computing (not good ways) and plants a seed making Kaitlyn question if she truly faked her highschool hypnotized experience or not. Kaitlyn discovers what it takes to become a hypnotherapist, that David hypnotized his wife to marry him and that the most fun part about hypnotizing people on stage is that you simply never know what is going to happen. Kaitlyn experiences some crazy hypnosis and David wraps things up with a couple of card tricks that have Kaitlyn speechless. But of

We’re coming in hot from the nation’s capital with the one-and-only Justin Glaze! So hot that Justin needed an iced coffee (but KB still will do hot, thank you). Kaitlyn and the Vinos put Justin on the spot with the questions everyone needs answers to including is he dating anyone, would he date Katie again (this was on Saturday, FYI), what are his non-negotiables, his worst dating experience, what ice cream flavor he would ghost you over, and who he has left on read. KB tells her own nightmare of a date story that included a gay bar, potato skins, and a pilot (that sounds like the start of a bad joke) and the pair play a game of charades where Justin dominates the ballet moves. It all leads up to one of the best confessions we’ve heard in a long time and one that will make us all feel better about our own decisions we made when we were 13. And yes, we are looking for photo evidence, stay tuned on @offthevinepodcast IG…. CHINET: Chinet Brand makes premium disposable tableware for all of life’s gatherings. V

It wouldn’t be a true bachelorette party without our in-house news expert, comedian-extraordinaire, and part-time Uber driver, Robyn Schall! Robyn is on stage with KB, penis-themed gifts in hand, to hang out with the vinos live in New York and you’re getting to listen in on what went down. Kaitlyn and Robyn are playing some games you wouldn’t likely expect at a bachelorette party, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be featured at your next one. They’re starting off with a round of Ken You Not: Bachelor Franchise Edition, heading into Two Truths & A Lie: Newsflash Edition, and wrapping up with a New York City quiz to see if Robyn is in fact a true New Yorker. It’s actually the first live show where Kaitlyn has a wardrobe malfunction AND gets fully flashed by an audience member, and if that doesn’t make you want to tune in, we don’t know what will.

If the world was ending, you’d watch The Bachelorette with me, right? Grammy-nominated singer songwriter JP Saxe joins Kaitlyn to talk about his career, his lovely girlfriend who got him into the Bachelor franchise, and this week’s episode of The Bachelorette! Kaitlyn and JP have a lot in common: they’re both currently on tour, they both are Canadian, and they both agree that the things that made you a nerd in high school are the things that make you cool now. JP is a sensitive singing ginger who is redefining what strength means as a man, one song at a time. The two chat about their top picks for Michelle, which song of his has a Bachelor reference, and why they just don’t trust Martin. Plus, he shares not one but TWO confessions and they wrap it all up with a game of hypotheticals.

Olympic gold medal gymnast, Shawn Johnson East, who last joined Kaitlyn (and Jason) on Off the Vine with her husband on a “double date” after baby #1, joins her again after baby #2! Shawn shares about the chaos of having two littles, what motherhood has taught her, how lucky she got with an “easy” second baby but how no one talks about how hard kids are on your relationship no matter how easy or good kids are. She and her husband have stayed true to their weekly date night ever since they became parents but it’s not all fun wining and dining as it’s often the only time they have together to “air out their dirty laundry” so they often leave dinner as exhausted parents in worse moods than when they arrived lol. Shawn reflects on her time as the world’s best gymnast (retired by 19), the pressures to perform the best and look a certain way and how all had a major negative effect on her mental health, for which there were zero resources provided and how she is struggling with the decision of whether she will put h

Andrew and Kaitlyn are reunited on the mic, and isn’t it ironic? We’re giving you just a few of the highlights from our Bridin’ Dirty live tour stop in Chicago, and we couldn’t ask for a better guest than the gentleman that is Andrew Spencer... even though he might not know who Barbara Walters and Alanis Morissette are. The two are hanging out with the vinos, playing a game featuring plenty of impressions and accents, getting into a round of “Ken You Not” (dating app edition), and describing Andrew’s dream girl (which sounds familiar). Also, it turns out Andrew definitely still has a thing or two to learn about the Bachelor world as it’s revealed how little he knows about the franchise. We end this episode with Andrew giving a truly meaningful gift to the podcast host herself.  CHINET BRAND - Chinet Brand makes premium disposable tableware for all of life’s gatherings.

He may be known as one of Peloton’s OG instructor’s but he might soon get a new title of Mirrorball champion on Dancing with the Stars! Kailtyn’s secret crush, Cody Rigsby, joins her to talk about the very uphill battle of his time on #DWTS as well as very difficult obstacles he faced growing up that have shaped him into who he is today. He and his dance partner were required to quarantine from each other after testing positive for Covid, which forced them to rehearse separately via Zoom, and even though he’s as fit as they come, his body is in "shambles" from the strenuous work it takes to train and compete on #DWTS. Cody shared about the struggles he went through in life that are now his biggest motivation to succeed. From times of homelessness and hopelessness to embracing the vulnerability in sharing the struggles and now being able to be a caretaker and role model for others while making maximum adulting decisions like buying his home in NYC. We learn about Ralph from Idaho and get an exclusive confessio

Elyse Myers, best known as the girl who paid for 100 tacos on the most awkward first date ever and who also makes hilarious videos of her husband “not watching” The Bachelorette, joins Kaitlyn to recap this week’s episode of Michelle’s season! But before they get to that, they dive into how the hell the taco situation came to be, how she got out alive, how she gets herself in all of these ridiculous situations, and how she met her husband at the meat counter and immediately knew he was “the one” because he was dressed in “house clothes”. Then they jump into discussing the absolute mess that is Jamie on this week’s episode of The Bachelorette, including how he thought if he closed his eyes nobody could see him. Elyse’s husband has some final words for Peter and it’s all wrapped up with a “1” to “Taco” rating on some vino-submitted awkward moments.

A woman whose personality might be larger than even her hair, H to the damn to the D, Hannah Dasher joins Kaitlyn for an interview that is packed full of big laughs by both. Hannah’s confidence and witty sense of humour is almost too much to handle as she catches Kaitlyn off guard with some of her hilarious responses and pokes fun at herself for all that she’s been through to get to where she is today - a “badass” female country artist says Rolling Stone. But some may know her by her cooking first before her singing. Her extremely popular cooking video series “Stand By Your Pan” on TikTok (filmed in the cutest of cute kitchens which she shares who it belongs to) dishes up the most delicious Southern-style recipes but that is not always what she was cooking and eating. There was a time she was living off of bologne and PB&J sandwiches as that is all she could afford while living in an attic on a mattress working towards her dreams, never giving up and prioritizing being able to pay her hardworking band. We

Everyone loves a comeback, so our friend Lo is back on the mic (notes in hand) to redeem himself after the hot mess that was the last recap he did with Kaitlyn. The two of them first recap their rollercoaster of a day together in Nashville which consisted of fancy tequila shots, a nice outdoor fire, and Kaitlyn sobbing in the fetal position. Then, it’s time to get into the second episode of Michelle’s season. Is Kaitlyn smarter than a 5th grader? Does Lo know what a hypotenuse is? What does MVP stand for? Is going to Harvard equivalent to being vegan? We’re diving into all of these important questions and many more. Lo goes through his detailed notes on each contestant and describes why most of them are vanilla sundaes who should be sent home ASAP. They wrap with a quiz that proves Lo’s notes were NOT stolen from a fellow classmate. If you love slam poetry and pinky toes, this one’s for you.  Find Lo on Instagram @stylelvr and listen to his podcast The Lo Life!  BEAM ORGANICS - Get the sleep of your dreams

Best selling author, speaker, business leader, cancer survivor and one of the leading photographers in the country, Alyssa Rosenheck joins Kaitlyn to discuss major life pivots, following your heart and inspiring creative courage. After she was diagnosed with cancer, Alyssa’s life took a 180 in the career path she was on when she realized that she was living to work and not working to live. She went from a very corporate career working for Fortune 100 companies where she felt like she had to hide her femininity in order to be seen for her knowledge and not her looks, to an extremely creative and successful career in photography… and she literally had never picked up a professional camera before. Alyssa claims to not have had a creative bone in her body until she dug deep and realized how therapeutic living a life of passion really was even when you are turned down at times. She is an inspiration for all those who are struggling to make a career change and a reminder to follow your dreams. And maybe don’t follo

Kaitlyn has Jason join her to recap the premier episode of Michelle’s season of The Bachelorette since he made an “appearance” on the episode anyways! The obvious hot topic being the discovery by Kaitlyn and Tayshia of the folder of “Bachlorette” do’s, don’ts and strategic plans researched by Ryan… and maybe a friend’s sister’s aunt’s cousin who also helped put them together? But numbers guy and terrible-name-rememberer, Jason, reveals his own spreadsheet notes he made on Becca’s season while Kaitlyn says her diary basically just read “I’m going to get engaged!!!!”. The two recap the array of limo entrances the guys prepared for Michelle, why the heck it was so dang bright during the rose ceremony, how far they think Joe might go after ghosting Michelle and the massive flight of stairs Michelle had to climb an endless amount of times. The two also finally give an update on their wedding plans... and Jason leaves everyone hanging with what seems like a must hear confession. You can find Jason on IG at @jason_

Kaitlyn finally has the opportunity to return to in-studio while she’s home in Nashville for a longer stint of time than she has been in months! She kicks off in-studio with a bang with none other than Kristin Cavallari, who most know from her days on Laguna Beach, The Hills and more recently, Very Cavallari. Although she rarely does interviews, Kristin is an open book during her chat with Kaitlyn and the two share some major laughs through it all. She shares all about the difficulty separating from her ex-husband Jay Cutler, navigating co-parenting of their 3 children, dating (including her ex), checking those DMs, running her successful jewelry company Uncommon James, how she sets boundaries with toxic people and all the things she gets up to on her weeks without the kids. Of course a convo with Kristin would not be complete without a little reminiscing of her highschool days, how she originally got cast on Laguna Beach, how she felt like she was not portrayed accurately and where things stand with L.C - th

The King and Queen of Paradise are gracing us with their presence to catch us up on what life has been like since they left the beach. Joe and Serena are spilling the deets on when they plan to move in together (and where), what it was like watching the show back as a couple, and what has surprised them most about the other since entering the real world. Kaitlyn asks a question we all had while watching that beautiful engagement: how was Serena not sweating her butt off?! Or, was she? Serena fills us in on what we didn’t get to see in the Bachelor in Paradise finale. We wrap with the Newly-Engaged Game, because these cuties aren’t newlyweds just yet. Even with one-half of this couple struggling with a sinus infection, they truly are everything you saw on screen and more!  BEAM - If you want to sleep better and save 35% off your first month, head to beamorganics.com/offthevine.  CHINET - Chinet Brand makes premium disposable tableware for all of life’s gatherings.

Walker Hayes, most recognized as of late for his smash hit “Fancy Like”, which reached number one on Billboard's Country charts in 2021, joins Kaitlyn to give everyone a solid dose of down to earth. With his laid back attitude, relaxing Southern accent, living in the suburbia of suburbia, wearing the same clothes for days in a row, while eating a grilled cheese (and Applebee's) - it’s the reality check we all need. The joy is the time spent with his family and none of the “bells and whistles” that come with fame. Walker talks about life as a father of 6, how unexpected the success and attention for “Fancy Like” has been and the larger than life “stage” of social media. He shares that the most fun has been sharing the success with his family, especially his teenage daughter who made the viral TikTok video with him on a whim one day when she just needed to dance! Walker also openly shares about his sobriety journey, how AA meetings have saved his life countless times and the difficult loss of his daughter, Oakl

It’s been a while since Kaitlyn and Becca caught up, and it’s perfect timing since the entire world (including KB) is dying to know what exactly went down between Becca and Thomas on and off the beaches of Paradise. How did Becca’s casual hot girl summer turn into finding the man she may possibly spend the rest of her life with!? We’re getting all the details, including what happened after they left the beach, what was on Becca’s laundry list of questions for a potential suitor, and how the two spent their time in hiding… turns out, it’s not so easy to hide when you’re a gentle giant of a man. Becca and Kaitlyn also share their thoughts on the other final couples of Paradise and take sides on the ole’ Friends debate; is it okay to hook up with someone when you’re “on a break?” Remember, Vinos, Mercury is in fact in retrograde, so be careful out there. We have to go “file some paperwork,” but we’ll see you next week. You can find Becca on Instagram @bkoof! CANVA - Design like a pro with Canva Pro! Go to Canva.

Kaitlyn sits down for a long overdue Zoom catch up with extremely talented, Grammy nominated artist, Cassadee Pope! Speaking of Zoom, Cassadee shares how her fears of writing music over Zoom rather than in person have definitely disappeared as she’s written her new album throughout the pandemic - although both KB and Cassadee are looking forward to connecting with their fans on tour ASAP. They bond over their mutual love of Nashville and share their fave things to do in the city (and plan a future hangout), but also speak on how much it’s changed over the years… watch out for those pedal tours! Kaitlyn and Cassadee share tips on overcoming comparison culture and making space for everyone to succeed, how vulnerability can be used as a strength, and how they both stay grounded (sometimes literally). We love this human “bean” (even though sometimes she does something strange on stage) and know the Vinos will, too! Check out her new album “Thrive” on October 15th and follow Cassadee on Instagram @cassadeepope. A

Andrew S joins Kaitlyn all the way from his very own tropical paradise where he currently is on vacay with his group of BFF “lover boys” from his time on The Bachelorette. Kaitlyn pulls out all of her Barbara Walters moves to have Andrew share who he’s currently crushing on (extreme blushing and all) within the Bachelor franchise as well as a second confession that is about to give Matt James a run for his money. For all of his sports success, Andrew is as humble as they come, preferring the European “work to live” way of life rather than the American hustle of “live to work”. He wants to be more than just basic B lovers with his future partner by ensuring it’s always extra special and giving it 110%. Perhaps we will see him on the future beaches of Paradise (if his mom lets him) or nobody will be mad if this gem of a man is our next Bachelor. Don’t worry you won’t have a hard time finding him as he provides exactly “where you can find him”. JENNI KAYNE - Go to jennikayne.com and get 15% off your first order

Get ready, WWE and Dancing with the Stars fans, because today on the pod Kaitlyn is sitting down with superstar Mike "The Miz" who brings the energy everywhere he goes, from the ring to the dance floor. After getting roasted for her podcast setup, Kaitlyn and Mike dive into the craziness of being a parent (and getting your butt kicked by a 3 year old), open up about their respective relationships, and speak to the challenges of dancing against a million professionals. The two bond over having parts of their body hurt that they didn’t even know could hurt after training for the DWTS stage. One bonus of staying put in LA to dance his butt off: Mike has had the chance to tuck his daughters in at night (and to build them doll houses of course). The Miz answers some listener questions from the vinos before giving a unique confession that Kaitlyn didn’t see coming. We’ll be rooting for you, Mike!!
