Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe - Grape Therapy: Bachelorette Recap (and roast) with Nikki Glaser

Episode Date: June 10, 2021

Recaps are back, baby! The hilarious Nikki Glaser is joining KB to recap the premiere of Katie’s Bachelorette season and give all her honest opinions on Katie’s lineup of men. Nikki came prepared with notes and she is not afraid to share her thoughts on men who love their moms (maybe a little too much) and Katie’s kissing style (which she describes with an expression so explicit that we’ll save it for the pod). Kaitlyn and Tayshia may have entered the episode looking like full-on witches in mourning who were ready to cast a spell, but Nikki was all for the new format of this season. The two also talk about the realities of spray tans, their not-so-secret aspirations of becoming pop stars, and which of Katie’s men gave them BDE (or shall we say BCE: big cat energy).

The recaps for The Bachelorette are back. How's everyone feeling today? Are you feeling like I do and have a three-day hangover from drinking all of the spade and sparrows on Monday night? Today I recap the premiere episode of Katie's season with one of the funniest

female comedy voices out there, Nikki Glazer. I'm obsessed. She is shockingly honest with a no-holds bard style of comedy and has a specialty in roast. So get ready for some awkward but hilarious laughs as she roast pretty much most of the guys that you would want to roast on Katie's season. Nikki was a standout at the Comedy Central roast. She has guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live, as well as hosted the inaugural edition of the 2021 MTV and TV Awards. Unscripted, she has also had memorable film and television roles in Train Rec and Inside Amy Schumer. She was also on my season of The Bachelorette with Amy. I also love her because she is an open book on the mic. not just for the laugh.

She's also a big empowering voice for women. Oh, and she was on Dancing with the Stars. Okay, it felt like this day would never come, but here we are. I hope that we have a lot of fun together over the coming weeks of Bachelorette Recaps. So enjoy. Hi. Hi. Are you banning your dog?

I did look like that. I'm pretending that I'm trying to taunt him with this because he only wants things he can't have because he takes after me. oh my god hello you hi how are you i'm so good it's so congratulations by the way i did not know tuning in that i would be i was like i i am going to watch obviously because i'm a fan and would be anyway but i'm like i got to watch on time because i'm doing your podcast and then i go holy shit this bitch is hosting i just i know that i didn't i don't know like i remember it getting honestly i smoked too much pot so i think when it was announced because you guys were on the last episode, right?

And you, like, announced that you would be co-hosts? Did that happen? No. Okay, then good. I'm glad that I didn't imagine that. That was a fever dream. I guess my dreams came true. When was it announced that you were being, like, co-hosting, at least the first episode?

It's so funny because we were announced when we were already, like, in New Mexico filming or we were quarantining before filming. So we were like, we didn't even really know what we were doing, what role we were having. So we're like, oh, we're co-hosting? I thought we were just here, like, be a part of a couple episodes, like, didn't know. That's the thing. It's like they, I think I read something about you guys being like, like helpers. They said some other word for you.

And I, from the get-go, I go to my roommate, I go, oh, my God, Caitlin's co-hosting. You're the host, whether or not, that is, it's funny to me because it is, I love knowing both of you. I met Tasia just backstage briefly, but felt like instantly meeting her like, you're everything I knew you would be. Yeah. She's just that kind of person where I feel like I know her because of her season because she was so honest just like you but it was so fun to watch you guys

because I could tell you were like what is our role? But then you fucking you just you owned that and it's it's making for I have so many I hope we're going because I have so many names. I want to shower you. The Bachelorette is different dude.

It is so empowering. It's so women in charge. Women being. vulnerable and powerful but also sexy and it's just everything you and tasha both led with and now katie and i believe your friendship that is manufactured by uh tv other you guys would not know each other if tv didn't put you all together let's be honest you would be friends if you met in a spin class but that's not how you met and right but i believe the friendship and i believe that you actually are like excited about what you're doing which is all i want to see is people

enjoying what they're doing on TV. Isn't that funny? Because I feel like people used to tune into The Bachelor and The Bachelorette to get like the catiness and the drama and the blah, blah, blah. And I feel like the world right now is just craving actually people having fun and being empowered and like doing cool shit. So I feel like it's such a different like refreshing season to have that. And I'm like, it's going to be like that the whole time too.

We were there for like every episode and it was just so fun. And like we go through everything with her. So it was it was really fun. Night one was so fun and so fucking long, but... Oh, my God, I can tell. You had to eat so much fake popcorn. No, like... So much you've been off.

I hope they only did that for five minutes, because there's only so much popcorn you can, like, slam in your face. Like, for that shot. We were like, okay, we're over it. It was delicious for the first, like, 30 seconds. Did you not... Why were you watching through the window?

I know that was made for a better shot, even though it looked like you guys were in a horror film. Like, there were moments where I was like, this is a scene from that one movie. you where Liv Tyler's trapped in the house and there are people with masks. I know. I felt like someone was going to like sneak up behind us at some point. Yes.

I know. But is that really where you watch from? Was that a real thing? Yes. Texas Chingsaw Massacre. That's what it looked like. We really did watch from that. Like it was so funny because that's great.

We had like the perfect little spot to just like peek out. But I was like, can we get like curtain holders or something? Like we had to like hold it out the whole time. I was getting an arm workout because that was a long like for all those limo entrances. And she was like so. 30 cold like she was so cool it was freezing out there she was i'm so glad i didn't know that watching it because i can't stand thinking of a girl being cold i can't i like when i see girls outside of clubs in line on a cold night and all the guys are wearing jackets and they're shivering in their heels

i go oh i i just hate being cold so much that i too i'm glad i didn't know that at the time but that poor thing being out there so cold i know so we'd like bring her in for like a little warm up session and then send her back out. So I feel like we weren't even on time. We were like so behind just because she was so cold. So we didn't go to bed that night until I think we started the night at 7 p.m. and we went to bed at like 7 a.m. I was going to say usually when you see the guys doing the exit interviews on the first night, it's usually daylight. And you go, oh, this took all night. And I was, I think maybe the shoot went a little long because you guys took three hours to open the champagne. So that might have backed up. I was thinking about it. I was thinking

about producers off screen being like do we should we just do it for them so we can move along because we're already two hours behind because of the guy in the box I know I was like let's get this going here that was so cute because it was real that was a real moment of like three girls being like I usually pass this off onto someone else because I would be the same way I'm like I don't know what to do I'm scared and it's so funny because I never have nails but for the show I was like well I'm going to get nails done so then I was like the girl that was like I don't want to break a nail when I was opening champagne and I was like damn it That is not me.

Yeah, you would have been in the, yeah, you wouldn't have been scared. I know that there are some things that you do for these kinds of shows where it requires you to, like, the dress that Katie was wearing, it's like, you wouldn't wear that outside of the Bachelorette or prom, senior prom. Like, it's just these, but we're all okay with it. We don't go, that looks ridiculous, kind of. The Bachelor and the Bachelorette have their own, you enter this world and it's like there's a dress code and I kind of like it. And I like that this is this like fantasy fairy tale world. where you know the the ground is always wet uh and like and that we have to you guys had to dress like you were in morning you had to dress you and tasha came in at so many to points where it was like

like i felt like you were like witches off you came in you were like so did you gather a lizard's foot for the next spell we're casting inside because you guys would come in and go who do you like who do you not like and it was just these three hot witches that But they had you dress in black. Was that a choice for you to both wear black as like, we run this show? We're going to look a little different. It was so funny because we did talk about this because we're like, well, we have to go off what Katie's wearing. Because we don't want to like all show up in like bright red, bright orange and bright green.

You have to coordinate. So we were like, why don't we let her shine and we'll like be in the background in our black dresses? It was a great choice. I really, I loved that choice. I loved you guys sneaking up in the beginning where she was just literally. like, is this a show that's going to be hosted by a voiceover later on and I just, someone's talking and I don't

know. I was like Chris Harrison, Chris Warrison, Chris, I don't care. I love these girls. Keep Caitlin and Tasha forever. Now back to off the vine grape therapy.

My biggest complaint about these shows from the get-go has always been that the girls and the guys, but mostly the girls, as a girl, I need to talk to girls about these guys. I need to talk to girls about my, it's half the fun of liking a guy. It's talking to your girlfriend and getting bad advice from them and good advice sometimes that you'll ignore. So I've always wanted that element and you only get that when the family comes in, but even then it's like a sister. Unless your mom and your whole family's dead, they don't bring in a friend, really.

No, never. And your sister is like not prepared to be on TV. so she's like all awkward just saying what like you should say on TV. And that's why it was nice because I kept thinking and saying the whole season, I kept being like, could you imagine if I had two girlfriends to talk to through my season? Caitlin, I would have loved it. I would have loved for you to have that because I met you your season when Amy Schumer did the, like the stand-up portion of your first date, the first group date.

Yes, you were on it. She brought me along with Rachel Feinstein and Bridget Everett. It was so much fun because she knew what a fan we were. So we got to come in and be on the show. And I saw how, like, you didn't have your, a crew with you. You didn't have your, like, we thankfully, we all got along and could talk. And you and Amy could have those moments where you were kind of like, I don't know what I'm doing. This is crazy.

But I just want to say that it's just nice to see that we're going to have Katie be able to process all of this with girlfriends. Because I think that is the most real aspect of choosing a life partner, which we've really really going heavy-handed on the, I must be engaged, by the way, on this episode. That was a note from Network. We need to make this all about an engagement. That's a little wild to me, but guess what? We all have goals, and that's her goal. And I believe it is her goal at this point.

I don't know if she started out that way, but boy, we're having to reinforce that a lot. Why can't we just find a boyfriend? Why can't we just have it the goal be finding a boyfriend? and it's hard enough, finding someone you would consider marrying. Why can't we say that? Why does it have to end an engagement? That's such a good question. Because you're like, I guess that's the format technically of the show.

And it was supposed to be the magic of like, oh, now they're not just dating. And they're like engaged and they're going to get married. And I think they want you at home to think the fairy tale is going to continue to happily ever after. And now we've got Instagram and we're like, that shit doesn't go happily ever after most of the time. So just pick a boyfriend. Just if you are a girl who's able to find a guy. that you would even consider spending your life with down the road, let alone a guy that you're sure of it,

congratulations, because it is so hard for me. I don't have sex until I'm in a relationship, so I haven't had sex in two years. And before that, I was sleeping with an ex-boyfriend because those don't count because you've already done them, you know? And you've given up on them. But I, for me, I, like, watch the show and you know what?

Actually, I will say that if I pick someone to be my boyfriend, I might as well get engaged. I'm ready. I know. You know, like, if I'm ready to commit, I might as well be like, yeah, get on a knee. You know, what does it, what does it change? Like, I have a ring now. I'm not really beholden to anything.

I got to the wedding venue in a couple months, I guess, but that's all, you know. And you come off the show and you're just like starting to date anyway. So it's just like there's a title of engagement, but I mean, really, what does it mean? Yeah, what does it mean? What is, you might as well get engaged. Okay, I take everything back. I love this season and I am really excited about Katie. much like Tasha and you

Not a damn thing you don't like about this chick Yeah, she's so She's so quirky and relatable And just like herself And I really, I really like her You met Tisha at, you hosted the MTV Awards, yeah? Yeah, MTV Movie and TV Awards unscripted It's like the longest title

I think everyone who works at MTV Currently got to add a word to it It was a way to just, you know, boost morale at the MTV offices You knew what it was sounds like the MTV Awards. I just memorized it last night and I shot it four weeks ago. It's taking me that long. It's like a fucking Shakespeare sonnet.

It's really dumb. But the name was so long, but it was for reality television celebrating all this, which is what I've, I love talking about. I love people in reality TV and I use my monologue, which, you know, as a host of a award show, you usually go out and you do like stand, like just

monologue jokes, kind of like late night like one liners. Yeah. And I was like, no, I want to say something about reality TV because I've been on a tear about it for a while of saying that I love reality people who are on reality shows and I love reality shows because people always say they're fake and yes the situations are completely ridiculous and you know you guys were told to sit next to the window and eat popcorn however what you did as you did that and the things that came out were real right so the situations are fake but a lot the motions that are you know being manufactured by producers who are hoping those emotions will come out are actually real, though, you know? And it's a lot realer than scripted shows that everyone prides themselves on watching. I go, these are actors pretending to be good people

when they're, you know, bad people or bad people pretending to be a little bit worse than they are because they're actors. That's so true. That's funny. I just loved watching your stories from that night. First of all, when you sat by Megan Fox, who I have like the biggest boner for her.

Dude, that was the I heart. So that I hosted MTV, but it was unscripted 14, more words. Yeah. And then after that, this is how the business works. Like, a guy that was directing, that I've worked with before, who was directing the IHeart Radio awards for Fox just texted me because we worked together before and was like, hey, I saw you on the MTV thing. I really liked what you did. Do you want to present an award? And that's, like, you think in business, in this business, it's like agents, but it's just like a guy being like, that thing you did was cool.

Like, good work, bagats good work. And there's some kind of honesty in that. So it was just a guy texting me being like, do you want to present an award? I show up to this thing. And I am the only non-pop star there besides, it was me, Joel McHale, and Megan Fox. We were the only ones. And my dancing with the stars partner, Glob's of Chango, which...

What was Glob doing there? I just brought him because he's hot and he's my friend. And it's like, it's a red carpet event. I was like, you know, he's just newly divorced. We're both like trying to date and get out there. I want us to both meet more people. And, you know, I don't understand going to these things alone if you're a single woman.

I didn't realize you got, you took him. I thought he was just there. Oh, that's sweet. Isn't that great too, though? Because now you think he got invited on his own. And now it makes him look like he's a bigger deal, which he should be a bigger deal. I just want to help out my friends. Especially good-looking ones like him.

And it's so fun. He likes to smoke weed. And like, so we just like, after I was done with my work, he was just passing me a vape. And I'm sitting next, I'm sitting in front of Usher, hosting the show. And singing like, and just having. so much fun. And all of the artists there, I'm like, don't belong there. No one knows

why I'm there. Everyone's confused. I'm wearing a dress that is like not okay for a 37 year old woman to be wearing, but I was 36 at the time, so I got away with it. And two days later, I turned 37 and it would have been not okay. But I just had the best time because I was around people that would never, I would never normally

get to be around. And I really do want to be a pop star. So that was just like, that's like why I'm a comedian because I'm not talented enough to be a singer or dancer or actress. Katie's goal is to be engaged and your goal is to be a pop star. Yeah, it actually is.

I just started writing music. I know you've got you're a pop star now. I mean, I'm more of a one hit wonder that like didn't really... How did you do that? Can I just really quickly ask you? Like, how did you get the confidence to go, I am going to because first of all, it was really

good and... Thank you. You deserve to be a multiple hit wonder. But how did you as someone who was like, oh my got famous in this way. Everyone knows me as this way. They're probably going to go, what is she trying to do now and judge me? I'm so scared of that judgment of actually trying to put out sincere

good pop music. That's what I actually did, though. That's what I told myself. I was like, you're definitely not good enough, so expect it to fail. And like, people are going to be like, oh, she came off a reality show and now she thinks she's going to sing. So I was just pleasantly surprised by positive feedback because I went in with the bar set so low.

So low. Did you, but when you presented it, did you have the caveat of like, I know I'm doing this? Or were you like, check it out. Like, because that's where I struggle is I just toss out and I go, I know this is embarrassing and I shouldn't be doing this. And I'm not Taylor Swift, but like, that was me. I literally said, I'm no Carrie Underwood, but like this is something I wanted to do. And I think people, I think people like when you can be like, you know, self-deprecated and be like, I'm, but yeah, like, I know I'm not Carrie Underwood. I'm not trying to me, but.

Honest. I think you're right. That's it. And that's what I, that's what people like about you anyway. It's like, it was so funny. I just made my first friend in my new apartment building. I've been living here for a while and I live in St. Louis now and I was just at the pool at this like mixer at my building and I met this girl and I was talking about watching

The Bachelorette and I was like, oh my God, we should watch it sometime. She was like, do you know any like bachelor people? And I was like, I know a lot of them. Because going back to what I said, I seek out friendships with people on reality shows because I do that as a comedian, I go on stage and I'm very honest. Like I just am very vulnerable. I say things on stage and people go, how could you say that?

And people on reality shows are to me just as vulnerable. Whether or not you think they can know that there's a camera on them, you don't know this person who's never been on a reality show, but you truly do forget the cameras in the room. You think you might outsmart it and you might be the one that doesn't do that. You aren't. You will forget. It's too exhausting.

Have you ever tried to meditate and say a mantra for like two minutes straight? Yeah. Try to have a conversation and fall in love. think there's a camera on me there's a camera on me you will forget and you will do things that are humiliating that other people will judge you for and like categorize you for and so i think it's extremely vulnerable and i think it's so hot in men when they have that vulnerability to get drunk and be an idiot on a show and like cry or whatever they do and i think as a woman i just want to be friends with a girl who is that okay with you know what let's see what happens and i i am who i am and if

I come off ridiculous. I'll face the consequences, but I'm not going to, like, hide who I am and miss out on this fun, weird opportunity of being on a show because I'm embarrassed. I might get drunk and say something dumb. I love that. That's so true because those are the people

you'd want to be friends with in real life anyways. Yes, but it's brave. Being on a reality show is brave, just like getting, and I will go back to this, and this is not, this is also about something you did as well. But girls who get work done on their face injections, as I'm a girl who's done it before, brave how about that because you are risking

fucking up your face because we've all seen it when women have f*** up faces right I never go when did she do to her face Meg Ryan ruined her face I never say that do you think to people who say that and I want girls listening to this who have boyfriends and fathers who say this shit because men always think they go

please don't get anything done babe don't get Botox because what if you end up looking like so-and-so star who went too far right Catley yeah do you think the cat lady wanted to look like the cat lady does anyone want to no one wants to fuck up their face they're trying to be loved and accepted so when you see someone with a fucked up face instead of going why would you do that to your face why don't you say what i'm i'm sad that this person took you know actually not even sad say what a brave woman to fucking take a chance on not knowing what it's going

look like and then it went a little too far and then she's still walking around and being i've had worked on where i go this got i got to drain this out thank god for covid because i needed to metabolize some filler that just was put in the wrong place but only because i wanted to look good not because i was trying to look older or crazy or make women hate me and so when women have worked on and you go i can tell shut up shut up just it's just just and they're brave you're you're you're you're You're mad at them because you're too scared to get it done because you're too scared. It's fucking scary to take a chance that your face might not look like what you want it to. And that is the end of my rant.

Yeah. This is Off the Vine Grape Therapy. Oh, I guess we got to get to the Bachelor. I'm dying. I'm dying too. This is so good. I mean, the first episode, it's kind of like a cluster. We're just getting to know everyone.

We're making. Oh my gosh. She just said, I need some popcorn. I'm laughing so hard at the chat right now. I know. I do picture your producers just munching in a window just like, I have so many notes to go through. I love that you took notes. You were the best human and best podcast guests.

Like the fact that you took notes, I'm very happy about this. Okay. Well, I just want to say that like early on you can't make assumptions about anything. my, I'm watching my roommate, Andrew Colin, who is the co-host of my podcast, the Nikki Glazer podcast, which is Monday through Thursday. It's kind of like a morning radio show where you can just tune in any time. You can just drop on in. It's like a daily thing we do in my spare bedroom. We get up. We have a fun podcast. It's just the most fun show. Nicky Glazer podcast. Thank you. And I'm getting him into the back, the first time ever. He's watching it. And he goes, clearly the guys

that they're just like breezing over with a quick hello are not going to be fun. finalists. And I go, oh, contraire. It actually, you can't, guys they spend a lot of time on might be gone at the, tonight and guys that they just brush over. Because you've gone back. I've watched American Idol and go back and I watch the Kelly Clarkson audition and the carry under. You know, and you go, was there something about this that I should have known they were going to win? And there's not. You can never predict. Yeah. These guys are what they're doing. It's so true. That's even for Katie, like, she would think she would know who was in, you know,

her final. And then she goes, wait, this guy, I was sleeping on this guy the whole time. Oh, I love that. Oh my God. The cat guy. Who knew Kitty Cat Connor would, like at first I was like, what is going on? That girl, who knew the key to Katie's heart was just doing really easy cat puns and dressing like a cat, which is very vulnerable. Very vulnerable. And he also like he would be a math teacher. I feel like math teachers always have this dorky side where they like think something's funny and they make like dad jokes all the time. And he's like

then he said he had a fur ball and mice to meet you and I was like, oh God, it just keeps going. I agree. I was cringing so hard but then I realized dressing as a cat and having to stay in that damn costume the whole night and not even take off the mittens. I mean, we kept getting close up to the big dick energy. It's it's the same confidence of Katie walking around with that vibrator. It's true.

he's on the shoulder with it where it's like you go she's still holding that i remember watching the first night going she's not going to put that away or just like setting on one of the you know a credenza in the yeah yeah yeah when you as a comedian when i see someone make a joke and commit to it it it is so much funnier than if they just left it alone because the cat alone and if he took it off and was like we'd all be like oh that was lame he kept it on the whole night and then smudged it on her face i mean it was so hot in the end who knew that's true it did say a lot about his confidence i did say that i was like that is some big dick energy that he kept it on the whole time because like everyone else is dressed in their friggin best suits

like this is their time to shine and he wore a fucking cat costume with furry mitts and like it stands out it's embarrassing i think he touched up his makeup through the night too like i guarantee you you're right because it was just too perfect and just keeping those mittens on was so funny. I just was like, that's, you could maybe not do anything else, but to keep those on, that guy was very committed. And it just shows that he's ready to get engaged. Can you imagine that that's like, to show a girl that you're ready for engagement, dress like a cat on the first date and don't take those mittens off. That'll show your commitment right there. Oh my God. There were so many cute moments. Like I just said the first date thing, but it reminded me of when

she sat down with that guy, the nervous one. And he was like, on a first date, you shouldn't give a present or something. And she goes, I guess this is a date. And he was like, yeah, it's a date. Like, there was so many moments where I was like, sweet boy. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Was that Greg. Greg. Greg. Greg. What's his last name? Because I kept, they gave his last name in the, um, yeah, Greg Grotto or something. I was like, oh, oh, Greg Grotto. One of your ladies got to look it up because his last name is hilarious. And I kept, uh, calling it out all night. But yeah, he was sweet. There's a virgin in the mix. My favorite was when the Virgin goes, you know, people look at me and think he's a

player. I was like, that's definitely not what came to mind when I saw you. I know. I'm like, who has your mom maybe is like, girls are going to think you're such a player because of your frosted tips. Like he kind of has a Craigslist Tyler Cameron. Look. Oh my gosh.

That's so mean. But Craigslist you find great things. Tyler Cameron's just like so, so above and beyond hot that I don't even think he belonged on the show. It was like, he was like, who's this guy? Yeah, and then he realized it. And then he was like, I'm not doing Paradise. I can get Gigi Hadee.

That's what I'm talking about. Okay, his name is Greg Gripo. Oh, Greg. Oh, Greg. Oh, Greg, Grippo. I loved him. I thought he was so cute. And, yeah, and then, I mean, there was just a lot of cuties.

And I know one thing that we got to talk about is this girl's kissing style, because her first kiss. was with, I forget who it was with. It was. The guy that painted the roses. Justin, I think. Yes, he painted the roses. Really talented artist.

He scooted over and he went in for it. Right. It was so hot. I was like, oh my God, I love his approach. Guys should study that of like leaning in, knowing the signs. Like, that's the time to move in. He didn't have to ask her. He just knew.

But then I was shocked at that kiss. I found it was very passionate and very like he's inside me kissing. Do you know what I'm saying? when you're like having sex and there's like that the like he's inside the kissing of like it's just different your head from behind and they you just slobber on each other and go like that was the guy of guess their name and I go wow what is that and then it continued with every other guy she kissed she's a she's a kisser and I like it I'm going because these guys get done kissing her and they look like a cartoon like that just got bonked on the head they're

like birds spinning around stars. They are just so horned up after those that's so true. Those were not just like a first date kiss. That was like, like you said, they're inside me kiss. It was really passionate. That girl is a passionate sexual woman. And I was annoyed at first with how much everyone,

you know, how much the show was about like sex positive. All she talks about is sex because I was projecting me. because people a lot of times are like, you're a sex comedian. I'm like, I haven't had sex in two years, so don't think you know me. I like talking about sex, but that doesn't mean that I'm just like always horny

and just my vibrators just like dang on my necklace. Like, you know, that's not, Katie was doing a thing at first. She is a sex positive person, but that's not, she has many more layers than that's what, which she then got into. And I loved that.

That's so funny because I felt like that, I felt like I was labeled as like the sex positive bachelorette at first. And I was like, I really never thought of myself as like this sexed up, horned up girl who just bones all these dudes. I was like, wow, I'm like, but when you're on the Bachelorette, it's like when in Rome? Oh, you can't not. Everyone would do. Like, I am such a prude and like don't, I do not kiss a lot of boys. But if I were in that scenario, yeah, I can get the most prudish person to do it hump, hump, hump, all over the house.

because I just, I know enough now as someone who's worked on reality shows and known enough people from them that these shows are so special in that you as a viewer think you wouldn't act the same way. You go, I would, I wouldn't do that. I would be different. No, you wouldn't. You don't know, you guys. Reality show producers are as good as when you, remember when we all watched making a

murder and we go, how did that young boy? get somehow admit to a crime he didn't commit right we were like we know he didn't do this what's going on and then that young boy every back every person on reality show is that young boy and every reality show producer is as good as the cops that get kids to admit things they didn't do and they don't even know they're doing it sometimes they're not all bad people but when you're trying to get something to happen on a storyline because when you set out to make a reality show you don't understand you don't know what's going to happen truly you don't know but reality show producers

they they know now from enough of this that we're fine no matter what happens we have a we have a plan there's always a board we can ball there's always someone we can bring back in but that's not to say that these shows are fake or that no they just know how to make TV

and that these people are just like you and the reactions they're having are just like you you cannot divorce yourself from these people and say I would never do that because you do not know what the mental manipulation that you're capable of going through when you are stuck inside a bubble of a reality show.

You're listening to Off the Vine Race Therapy. I see you just look down at your little notes and it's so cute. Well, I had to because I do. Like at the end of the day, I mentioned it. I like to smoke a little weed and I didn't want to forget any of the funny things that I had observed. So I took notes that I honestly don't even understand. 40 digits of pie.

Oh, yeah, there was one guy bragging that he knows 40 digits of pie. And I was like, it sounds like a waste of time to have memorized that. That's a very useless talent, I feel like. I mean, I did kind of want that that made me attracted to him because I was like, oh, he could remember what MTV Awards shows I do. He'll be able to tell me. He would memorize that for me. Yeah, that seemed like a worthless talent to brag about, oh, the guy that got a card

from his mom about like, it was like a double-sided card. like it was a lot of writing from the mom and back and i i got a that's a red flag to me as a guy that's getting handwritten letters from his mom saying like how proud it's a mom that's a little too invested and maybe it's me projecting but when a guy likes his mom too much i i would rather a guy have a dead mom than a mom that he likes too much i'll say it and i know that's really terrible i'm not wishing for his mom to die i'm not wishing for moms to die i would prefer if i had a choice of a guy who's, he liked his mom, but she's long gone. I'll take that over a mom that is writing handwritten notes to my, to my way.

I think that's like, I kind of like it because I feel like that means he's a good guy if he has that good of a relationship with his mom. Maybe that is, there are ones where it's too far, but I, I have, I have dated one guy where it was a little bit too much where I was like, this is weird. They'll just never love you as much as they love her. It's like when you're seeing that kind of like, connection with an adult man. I'm not saying that a handwritten card is not

sweet, but one that you're like showcasing as a part of your personality of like, this is who I am, I'm going to read this card on camera. It's just a bad sign to me that like your relationship with your mom and I feel like you're using that to convince me you're a good guy when really that tells me that you might be a little codependent on

mama, maybe your dad left early and you filled a role as like a maybe like a protector of her that you're still fulfilling and you got to go work on that and like let go of your mom. before because you can't have a mom and a wife and a mom you treat like a wife and a mom

and that's just and that's no judgment on guys that love their moms I'm sorry if you're out there and you're like that's not why that's Jason the thing is Jason's mom is one of the coolest women I've ever met in my whole life and like

I remember one time we were driving home and Jason was sick and I was like oh your mom probably wants to take care of you and she was like nope this is your job Oh, and like, you know, like she was, she's the coolest and they have such a great relationship. So I think that's where my brain goes. Okay. You know what?

I take it back because if the mom on the other end is very, like, no, has boundaries of like, yeah, now that's a white, that now that your girlfriend's role and it doesn't get mixed and she's the one creating the boundary, you are definitely in luck. If you're, because you're, but if the mom is still fulfilling that role for him to, then that gets a little. Right. It's all about the boundaries. It's about the mom, actually. It's about the mom and about the boundaries. Yeah, it's just, but yeah, I mean, I guess I'm just projecting from different parts of my life that I don't want to take accountability for why the relationship failed. So I'll just blame the fact that he loved his mom too much. So that's where this is coming from, by the way. I'm a projector at all times of my day and I have to point it out to myself all the time. I'm like, oh, I'm projecting. Every time I criticize anyone. I go, why? What is this about me that? What don't I like about myself? That is what I'm saying right now. It's all about self-awareness.

As long as you have self-awareness, then it's very forgiving. Yeah. It usually takes me a beat to get to it, but I got there. And I'm glad I did before someone, you know, drafted an angry DM and slid it my way. But I got a few of those last night. Oh, my God. Oh, did you for what? What are we getting criticized for, Caitlin?

Oh, I laughed so hard because I was sitting on the couch and I said, I was like, oh, I just got the nicest tweet. And Jason was like, what does it say? And I was like, it says you fucking stink. and you're ruining the show I was like Oh boy But it made me laugh

Out loud You stink You stink You know that someone Who first of all They didn't say anything specific Like it's just such a general thing

They just wanted to be mean And that's the best kind of Yeah insult It made me laugh It doesn't even And you like check your pitch You're like Is this do I literally

I know it's like Is there a rumor Because that's such a weird thing to say Like that's like telling somebody to get bent Remember that used to be a thing?

Get bent. You stink. You stink. Stink is the nicest insult you could possibly give someone. And it's when people get specific with insults where you go, ooh, out. And Stink is so general and just, you know, yeah, grade schooly that that is the best thing you can get. But I'm sure people were, anytime something changes, people get upset.

And obviously Chris Harrison's been there from the beginning. And so now we see two girls. You can't win in that scenario. Honestly, I know that people are like good, but Chris Harrison like did something wrong. And that's why he's gone. So we go, okay, we have to have someone new. They didn't just put this out of nowhere.

Right. However, you're still going to get a backlash. People hate new things. So many, how many times in your life do have you seen people go, who is this girl? Who is she? Every time like people or like a magazine post something, Caitlin, blah, blah.

The number one comment is who? And I'm like, I mean, just Google. This is wild to me because literally everyone you know of that you're reading that gossip blog to find out about people you know, there was a point where you didn't know them.

So what are these people, did everyone know Tom Hanks? Tom Hanks used to probably get who's this guy? That seems crazy. So like, when I hear who's this girl, I go, this is how you learn new artists. Is because, you have to otherwise you just but people just always go who's she why is she on this who and it goes well you do you not want to meet new people are you done learning new artists and new comedians and new

podcasts and new uh hosts and like that's always a funny insult who's she and it's like you have to learn new people ever literally your mom and dad at one point you didn't know and you were like who's she you know like that's you don't you're not born knowing who jjadid is oh my god i think i covered all of my notes i wrote down carl i don't know why oh i wrote down pocket pussy because my roommate andrew is hilarious he's so funny so funny andrew collin andrew t collin on instagram anyone who like loves girl's stuff is like like like and i'm saying your podcast is like i'm guessing you have mainly female listeners because you're just like a girl's girl every girl 99% of that's what about the girl at the pool i didn't finish that

she goes you know reality show people and i go yeah and she goes do you know kately And I was like, oh, fuck, yes. I was like, it was the first one she asked, she goes, I love her. And I go, I'm doing your podcast on Monday. I was like, felt like the coolest girl in the world because I got to, like, show her my calendar

that said, off the vibe. Like, I felt so, you just made me feel so cool. I was so excited. But my, um, but my, yeah, Maris, shout out to Marissa in on the sixth floor, nice floor.

But, okay, so my roommate, Andrew, Andrew T. Collin on Instagram, like, girls, girls love this guy and that's why he's like my best friend and he's just hilarious he said last night that the best thing a guy could bring in is a pocket pussy because she brought in a vibrator is to bring in like a just a sad like the thing a guy jerks off into it is just like slimy it's like not as cute as like a huge one it was so funny he said that and then the guy brought in a blowup doll and we were like oh my god it was like the exact one from old school my favorite was when

the blowup doll was just like laying there like starfish when she was like doing a speech and she was like being so serious and like vulnerable and like thanking them for being there and what was the name sandy or something was just laying there starfish with her mouth open it was so funny i like how you go i just want to get her name right i don't i hope i'm saying this right sandy sandy which is the worst name for a blowup doll like that's not what you want in there we were calling her blow up Betty because when she made more sense right that made more sense and so we named her that but that didn't make but that shot that you're talking about that was so funny that's what I love about these shows and that's why I'm so excited for you guys to be the host is because there's always been this like a lot of humor going on and like comedy bits because the people behind these shows are really smart and funny and they'll they'll do things for you that you're like do they mean to make us laugh there they know what they're doing and I'm so glad to have you and Tayshah because you guys are silly and funny and And I'm just, I really, I can't wait to see throughout the season how you guys are incorporated and how you get emotionally wrapped up in all of it.

Totally. Yeah. It was, it was a freaking roller coaster and it was so fun and it was hard and it was all the things that the show should be because it was just so perfect. And it was real, like not traveling made it that much harder because when you're isolated in that world alone, like just being on the show, that's. one thing. Then the COVID bubble on top of the bubble and it was just I got to say those guys. How long did how long did those guys quarantine before they got out of there?

Two weeks. Okay. Yeah. They're horned up. They don't have phones with them. Yeah. They don't have their porn. They like they're not those guys are coming out hot. I think it's good for a reality show for COVID because it makes these people go buck wild when they get out in a way that they wouldn't if they flew in from Sacramento the day before, you know? It's so true. They have like two weeks to really like sit in their own thoughts and like to go crazy because they're alone in a hotel room and they don't have phones. I mean, I can't really talk about it yet because it isn't announced, but I think it's getting announced this week. But I am involved in a reality show that's coming out this summer as I am the host of it. And so I got to do exactly what you did essentially

on the show, which is be the host, but also be the emotional support and and kind of watch it as the viewer and be kind of like I just I really wanted to bring that to it of like I want to help these I want to talk to these girls and be a friend to them because I know how isolating this can probably be so as a host

it's so nice to see what I just got done kind of doing and I'm excited for it to be announced so anyone who is listening and likes The Bachelor obviously you guys like reality shows you've got to watch the show that I hosted it's going to be announced this week so I can't say the name of it but you'll know it when you see it dude it's wild. It's so freaking fun.

It was as a Bachelor I, this was a dream job for me to host a show a new dating reality show that is so wild just has all the ups and downs of of a Bachelor, Bachelorette and the real romance, the

romantic locations, the insane scenarios the the crazy emotions and I got to watch it all as like a fan and fall. I was essentially on the show. I got swept up in it and I loved it and I can't. So whatever show, I can't tell it, say the name of it, but it's announced this week and

just check my social and check it out when it comes out in July. I hope you all watch. Thank you, girl. That is so exciting. That's a dream come true for me. When I got to walk out and say, Katie, gentlemen, this is the final rose. I was like, I took that role so fucking serious. I was like practicing in the back in the mirror before I went out there.

seamless. I did not even, it didn't look weird to me. I wasn't like jarred in any way. Like you, you just are a part of the show. We've seen you on the show come back as a sort of mentor and on these different throughout, you know, since you were on the show initially. So you've been a part of the world. It's perfect. And you and Tasia are just so genuine and just exactly like Katie. And Katie doesn't seem intimidated by you guys too, which I was worried about because I would be. I feel. But just like, tell me what to do, uh, you know, the, the witches in their black, like, you guys are just like, that was so funny. It's so funny that scene when you guys want. Yes, you literally, I want you to be in like little witch hats later, but I would be intimidated by you, but you guys all seem like equals. And that's what I love about is like you all seem like as excited, as invested and as kind. Like, you guys seem like kind, you're all kind girls that, um, are super fun and. comfortable in your own skin, which is just so good to see.

Yeah. And we genuinely just, like, wanted to support her in every way that we possibly could. And it was just, it just felt like such a fun thing that, like, to go through with your girlfriends. Like, it was just, and Tasha and I got so close through the season. And then, like, we would have wine nights every night. And, like, it would just, it turned into such a fun, fun thing that I didn't know what to expect. During, when she was getting to know all the guys, what were you in Tasha doing? Where was your holding place? And like, how did you pass that time? Did you go take a nap? Because you

Yeah. Actually, were you watching from the control room that night. No, we were like in the little where we were eating the popcorn and watching like to that. We just sat there and like had snacks and drinks and hung out. I bet it was exciting because it was the first night. So there was that energy about it. Yeah. I kept you going. I was just wondering like, where are they? Are they going to, am I going to see them

their witch hats peaking from behind a bush watching her gulp down this cat? It's so funny because they cut this part out. But at the beginning, like, we were hiding in bushes. And like, Tasha was laying on top of me, like, behind a bush. And we were, like, hiding in all these different places. And then we snuck out. And we, I couldn't believe Katie didn't hear us because when we were walking down,

she thought it was just a camera guy. Yeah. Because they were like, just keep your eyes forward. Like, there's going to be a limo coming up. And we were, like, shaking laugh. and being like, oh, my God, she, like, truly doesn't know we're coming up behind her. And we're just like, dying. She's just thinking that there is a female camera op who is just a giggly bitch that they keep around, that she's just going to have to ignore all season.

She's like, why does this fucking giggly bitch sound like two women laughing together? And I have like a very distinct laugh. And she's like, what the f***. And it's getting slowly closer. And I don't know why they need this angle of me. And then all of a sudden she turns around to her. You could see the relief on her face of just like, oh, good. Yeah.

I thought I was doing this alone. She just really thought for this whole time of like quarantining it, because we really wanted to, you know, surprise her and they really wanted her authentic reaction. So it was. It was good. It was real. It was so funny. When you saw the trailer last night of all that goes down, I mean, they never don't

disappoint with these trailers, by the way. It always looks like the craziest season you've ever seen. I mean, this one really does look. pretty dramatic it looks like someone gets hurt uh not emotionally but like physically and probably emotionally as well it looks like someone leaves sudden it looks like uh one guy gets brought in we saw that from um clare's uh half season yeah he comes back yeah did he was he on taceous as well yeah yeah the guy he has like a giant mouth i can't wait to see her gulp with him I can zoom her lower jaw

He's got a big mouth That's all I got to say But not a bad thing That guy comes back He's Canadian And that makes me laugh Because you know on South Park When the heads like just like

Separate with you're Canadian Yes Oh my God That's hilarious That is so him But there is a lot That happens in the season Okay so it's just as juicy

I mean This is going to be a great season I'm so happy it's back It really feels like sports The way guys feel about sports I was in a good mood all yesterday And it's all because of that It was it's so funny

And you know what I don't feel guilty about it I look forward to two hours A show that could be one hour But they stretch out to two And God thank you God that they do Because I want every I want three And I just I deserve that That is like it feels so good in my soul

To watch a girl potentially fall in law I love it. I don't, none of this guilty pleasure shit. It's back, baby, and I am here for it. And I am so glad you and Tasia are the co-host. Oh my gosh.

Well, I'm so happy to hear about the show that you're hosting. And you also have a website where you have a whole whack of tour dates doing stand-up. Oh, my God. I'm like,

I'm back on the road. You have to like come to a show when I'm in wherever, if you're ever in, I want to hang backstage with you and make you a part of the show in some way because I know my fans

would go wild if you walked out danced out on stage. I would be so happy. Yeah. Please. I'm serious. I don't say this all the time. But if you're ever, you ever see that I'm in town and you have the night free, just come hang. You don't have to go on stage with me, but I would love that as well.

That's like a bucket list thing for me. I would love to come on stage with you. Do you all these theaters that are like, I can't even believe I'm doing these amazing venues. And I had a theater tour last year that obviously stopped because of COVID. And now I'm just like bringing back. I'm going to bring a show that is a variety show of stand-up and whatever the hell I want to do that's going to be

really just, it's called One Night with Nikki and some places I'm going to be doing two shows in each town, but it's just a wild fun night of stand-up and just authenticity and fun and you know, tickets are available at Nikki Glazer.com slash tour and see if I'm coming to your town and I would love to meet you guys and maybe Caitlin will be there for one of them. I'm going to be that annoying person that keeps showing up at the, you'll be like, no, I asked you to come to one and I'll be like, I'm here again. Dude, I'll come, if you like have a party or something, if you have any, like, you want to get coffee sometime, I'll build a weekend around going down to Nashville.

I need an excuse to go down and, like, you know what I mean? Like, but only no pressure because I know you're busy lady, but, um, I would literally build a trip around just literally getting a coffee with you just to, you know, that would be so funny too. It's like, you're going to Nashville. Yeah, I'm getting coffee with. I want that. We're going to, you know what?

We're going to smoke weed and we're going to get coffee. Oh, my God, I love you. And I want to just... It's going to be a dream. I just want to hear about your relationship that I just watch from afar on Instagram and so just happy for you and want to know everything. And I can't wait to get your scrunchies in the mail. I know that's for my address. So many scrunches.

I'm so psyched. I need them. The ones I have are like, I have white ones that I think are so cute, but they're all, they have spray tan on all of them. And so I can't wear them. They look dirty. That happens to... I have spray tan on just everything. it's everything like Jason's like you these sheets are disgusting I'm like

Spree Tad is just like stained on my sheets permanently and I don't care anymore it's on my cabinets it's on my like you know foundation and bronzer it's on all my light switches it's on all my white walls the other day that my housekeeper's here and I go can you wipe the cabinets in the kitchen because there's a lot of bronzer and she goes what and I go I just I can't even explain it's I don't like the color of my skin tone and it's a problem and And, yeah, I'm doused in bronzer constantly. So that is, that is me to a tea all the time, spray tan. I always like, after sex, I would go, I used to say, it's not shit, it's spray tan.

Because sometimes during sex, I go, did I have an orgasm where I something came out? And then I look, I always check. I always think I shit after I work at some, like literally every time, it's like a big fear of mine, even though it's never happened. Okay, let me be honest. Sometimes it has happened before, but I was like engaging in anal activities. But like, sometimes that's what it will happen. sex, I will, like, feel like just such a release that I'm like, clearly I shit a little bit.

And then I'll check. But sometimes I check and it's just spray tan. And I go, that is spray tan. That is not shit. And he's like, why would I think it's shit? I'm like, because I do every time. Oh, my God. That should be my confession.

But sadly, it's not. Wait, first of all, just back to your tours because I did want to say, I just love that people are starting to be able to perform again and do what they love. to do and like that that things are opening back up because one of my sponsors on the show is Hyundai and their new Tucson and it's one of my actual main sponsors right now. But they have this amazing cause for live entertainment called Save Our Stages. And so I just love seeing tours starting to open again and get scheduled and all the incredible small independent venues will hopefully have like the light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh my God. Yes. When you go to these venues, spend money on overpriced popcorn and stuff because this is where they're making their money and they if you can afford it try to just do anything you can to support these places and and i'm going to uh hopefully figure out some way to give back when i'm at these places to uh you know just because to make up for for last time so that's cool that hunday did that and that sponsored thing you just said so cool i loved it my confession is i because i really had to think because i just admit everything so

freely and I do a daily podcast where I kind of purge all of these things every day. I didn't say this one. I did a somehow YouTube led me to a manifestation and I only thought of it because I was looking through my phone for maybe something I wrote down that was embarrassing for a confession. So I was looking through my phone and I saw a thing that I wrote in my notes because I, YouTube suggested a manifestation for a guy to text you and I really have been waiting for someone to reach out to me. And I was like, what's the worst that could happen?

this doesn't work and I waste five minutes listening to this quack talk about how this happens. So you're supposed to envision like a good time between the two of you and like project white light around it because white light represents all the colors. It's some bullshit. And then you're

supposed to envision your phone and like what it would look like for them to text you. And then what then you're supposed to envision what your, that text would be. And then he goes, now take out your phone and draft what your reply would be to the text that you're envisioning that you get. So actually write what your reply would be.

And then, and so I opened my phone and saw my reply, which was then you should call me. Like, which is, I'm not going to say what the little text was. And I woke up the next day and I kid you not. He didn't text me. No. He didn't. And I have no, there's no chance of hearing from him. And it only made me more sad and more more more. I got so excited. I know. I did too. He texts you. But I didn't follow it. I was supposed to really focus on it a lot longer. So I'm going to try it again. And I do believe in manifestation and, like, sending out energies as much as I used to think that was hogwash. I do think to just, like, sending good vibes, which is only a good vibe I'm sending out there.

It could work. It's not like a spell like you and Tasha were casting from the windowsill. We need one whisker from a man dressed as a cat. And one letter from a mother who's overbearing. We put it in a pot. mix in a little mix in 40 digits of pie and you

Oh my God You guys were so witchy and wild But yeah That's my confession Is that I tried to manifest An adult person to text me And you know what We'll just have faith

There's still time There's still time You just got to have faith I'm going to use my witching powers And get him to text you Thank you Oh my God You are just incredible.

I'm so, like, you just made my whole friggin' day. I know. An hour of laughing is the best thing in the world. It's the best. I have so much fun with you every single time. I will do your podcast any freaking time you want me to, and I will hang out any time. And I'm so glad to hear you're in Nashville and not where I thought you were. And I'm so glad that I'm in St. Louis and not where you thought I was.

That's so true. And let's definitely plan a weekend because that would be just a dream. And also, I would love to have you on for another Bachelor recap because it's everything. Let's do it. Seriously, before the end of the season, if you have a dropout or anything, you don't have to promise, but I'm here and I would love to do it. And, yeah, check out the Nikki Glazer podcast.

Bye. All right. So at the end. of the episode I talked briefly with Nikki about her new stand-up tour and that I am just so freaking happy to know that things are slowly getting back to normal in the world. And one of the last industries to really be able to emerge from these restrictions is the events industry, larger events, live entertainment, concerts, weddings, social gatherings, comedy shows. It's been 15 months for them trying to stay afloat without any ability to earn

revenue. So this segment is presented to you by Hyundai and the new Tucson is in support of an incredibly important part of the live entertainment industry, small independent venues across the country. So you guys, part of the reason, actually one of the main reasons I love Nashville, is that it is filled with small and large stages around the city and all of the incredible performances you can see every night of the week, pre-COVID, of course, and how it's opened doors for me to become friends with so many artists, many of whom have been on the pod, who have been so affected by the pandemic. I too had to cancel my last tour because of the people. pandemic, and I am dreaming of doing another tour again and revisiting so many of these incredible

venues before I settle down and start trying to make some babies. COVID has impacted so many legendary venues across the U.S., closing them down for over a year, and these stages have hosted some of the biggest names in music, comedy, and theater, and it is so important to me and to Hyundai that these venues remain open for the future generations of artists and fans. I wanted to tell my listeners how they can help. So the National Independent Venue Association, also known as NEVA, was created to provide support for these venues. They started the NEVA Emergency Relief Fund to provide assistance to these small venues, especially those at high risk of going under. So please visit Save OurStages.com to donate because it's an incredible thing to do and because I want to be able to hit the stages for all the pod, maybe even perform one of my songs again.

I don't know. No, I'm just getting crazy. and see all of my favorite vinoes in person again. I'm Caitlin Bristow. Your session is now ending. Thanks for listening to Off the Vine, Grape Therapy. Tune in to hear new minisodes every Thursday and check out new full-length episodes every Tuesday
