#870. This week, Kaitlyn is joined by The McBee Dynasty’s Steven McBee Jr. — the cowboy turned reality TV star whose family drama is giving Yellowstone a run for its money. From his days on Joe Millionaire to running a 40,000-acre farm to that infamous butt shower scene, Steven’s spilling everything we’ve been dying to know.

He’s dishing on how his family landed a Bravo show, where things really stand with Calah, the surprising type of women he can’t resist, and why his first dates literally cost thousands. We’re also getting personal: his dad’s absence this season, his mom stepping into the spotlight, and if we’ll ever see him handing out roses on The Bachelor.

And of course — we wrap it up with a juicy confession that involves a girl, a freezing Missouri night, and a gas station fail. Buckle up, because this convo is equal parts cowboy, chaos, and confessions!

#869. For years, Amanda Knox’s name was defined by headlines, speculation, and a story that wasn’t hers to tell. Now, with her new Hulu series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, she’s finally reclaiming her narrative — and she joins Kaitlyn for one of the most powerful, emotional conversations ever on Off the Vine.

Amanda sets the record straight about those infamous “strange behavior” moments, the coerced false confession, and what it was like to spend nearly her entire twenties under the shadow of prison and retrials. She opens up about survivor’s guilt, the toll on her family, and how becoming a mother reshaped the way she views it all.

She also shares what it was like collaborating with Monica Lewinsky and Grace Van Patten, why the world was so quick to villainize her, and the memory of Meredith Kercher she wants the world to remember beyond the news coverage.

Raw, unfiltered, and deeply human — this is Amanda Knox like you’ve never heard her before!

#868. What happens when you dedicate your entire life to the game you love… and then it’s suddenly gone?

This week, Kaitlyn sits down with 2x World Cup Champion Ashlyn Harris, who opens up about the extreme competitor she’s always been (spoiler: don’t challenge her in beer pong), the brutal toll pro soccer took on her body, and what it really feels like when the dream ends overnight. She shares how she found purpose after retirement, why she walked away from the “traditional” post-athlete path, and what it means to raise her kids with intention. Ashlyn also gets candid about being openly gay in sports, how her journey of identity shaped her, and yes — she spills on her love story with Sophia Bush.

Hit play, because if you think you know Ashlyn Harris… think again. And don’t miss her new podcast, Wide Open, produced by iHeart Women’s Sports!
