James “Murr” Murray | The Impractical Jokers Punishment That Made Him Rethink His Life! Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

#979. James “Murr” Murray has spent 15 years getting publicly humiliated by his best friends. Somehow, he’s also found time to become a bestselling author, make a horror movie, and develop a very questionable approach to date night.

Murr is back on Off The Vine, and Kaitlyn is getting the stories you don’t see on Impractical Jokers. He takes us behind the scenes of a punishment so insane it left him questioning his life choices, and opens up about what happens when the cameras stop and he goes home to Melyssa.

And apparently, married life is not exactly quiet. Murr shares their hilariously unhinged date nights, the unexpected way they met, and how a drunken DM turned into a friendship with T-Pain and a role in his new horror movie. He also reveals how a book that sat unread for years became the start of a whole second career, proving that sometimes the best revenge is becoming a bestselling author while your friends are still trying to shave your eyebrows off.

It’s chaotic, unexpectedly sweet, and very Murr. Tune in for the stories that somehow make Impractical Jokers look like the normal part of his life.

Wells Adams | 10 Years of Bachelor Nation & Marriage with Sarah Hyland! Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

#978. Wells Adams has spent the last decade watching Bachelor Nation fall in love, fall apart, and occasionally make very questionable decisions from the other side of a bar — so at this point, he’s seen some things.

Wells and Kaitlyn get into what he can spot almost immediately on Bachelor in Paradise, what contestants tell the bartender that they may not tell anyone else, and why he actually prefers NOT knowing everything the producers know behind the scenes.

Then Wells opens up about life with Sarah Hyland, the rule they’ve had since the beginning of their relationship that still guides their marriage today, and how they’re navigating months of long distance while she’s in London — including the one rule they have about how long they’ll go without seeing each other.

And before he leaves, Kaitlyn puts ten years of Bachelor Nation knowledge to the test with a round of trivia that proves Wells may know the beach a whole lot better than he knows the franchise history.

Rhoda Magbitang | How a Preschool Teacher Became a Top Chef Winner! Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

#977. Top Chef Season 23 winner Rhoda Magbitang is fresh off the win and she’s taking KB behind the scenes of what it actually takes to get there. Rhoda opens up about moving to the U.S. at 17, working two jobs while putting herself through culinary school, and navigating male-dominated kitchens. Plus, why she finally said yes to the competition she spent years avoiding.

Rhoda also reveals what Top Chef viewers don’t see, why she hated everything she cooked on the show, and how reality TV messed with her confidence. Then things get a little less serious when KB puts her chef opinions to the test: ketchup on eggs, ranch on pizza, truffle oil, jarred garlic, and one VERY unexpected death row meal.

Come for the Top Chef BTS, stay to find out which food trend Rhoda is sending straight to jail.

Theresa Caputo | What Really Happens When We Die? Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

#976. Theresa Caputo sits down with Kaitlyn for a conversation that somehow makes death feel a little less scary and life feel a little more meaningful.

They go beyond the usual question of whether or not you believe and get into what Theresa says really happens when we die, how loved ones may try to get our attention, why grief can show up years later, and what more than two decades of talking to people on the other side has taught her about the people still here.

Theresa also opens up about the stranger side of her gift, the messages that catch even her off guard, the things people misunderstand about mediumship, and the moments that still give her goosebumps after all these years.

Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is the kind of conversation that might have you paying a little closer attention to the signs around you.

Kelsey Cook | Netflix, Newlywed & Not Afraid to Poop on Planes Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

#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!

Whitney Fransway | Bachelor to Bravo: Behind Her First Season of ‘In The City’ Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

#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? And would she do it all over again? Tune in to find out!

Lance Bass & Joey Fatone | Why NSYNC Never Really Broke Up & Where They Are Now! Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

#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.

Jason De Puy | Inside Big Brother: Live Feed Secrets & Tea Party Drama! Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

#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.

Taylor Strecker | New Show. New Baby. Same Taylor. Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

#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.) Giggles guaranteed!

KB & Kat Catch-Up | Perez Hilton, Pregnancy & Pop Culture Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

#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.
