I can't wait for the podcast. There are so many stories about AJ's. honesty at the wrong times. I can't wait to hear him. You know, obviously a lot in the public has been said about me, my journey through recovery and sobriety, my ups and downs, my highs and lows, but there's still so much left that
Starting point is 00:07:04 not a lot of people know about, and, you know, I've compared myself to an onion because there's a lot more layers to me than anyone really knows about. A funian. A funian, exactly. I can't wait to do the podcast because I can't wait to do the podcast because I can can just call him out, and Renee can give me advice on how to handle him sometimes, because all I hear is a talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses, and...

And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity, struggles, and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewash because you have to do the code switching? I won't say whitewash because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. But the whole pretending and code, you know, it takes a toll on you. Listen to the new season of Grasasas Come Again as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. obviously the bachelorette season is upon us it's coming up quicker than we could ever imagine
Starting point is 00:12:22 we're excited for it in fact i have had ashley people who never watched the show say they're excited for this year because there's been so many storylines coming out of this season there's so many unknowns and potentially ashley from what we hear there could be multiple love stories to celebrate yeah that's right that's right the first story comes coming out of the Bachelorette this year is a household name already. Dale Moss. Dale Moss, the headline reads, wants to be a father in five years. This according to life and style.
Starting point is 00:12:54 So Dale got on his Instagram story this week and he did one of those Q&As. And somebody asked him, where do you see yourself in five years? He said a leading sports and entertainment host, producer of a sick documentary or series, successful entrepreneur with a diverse portfolio and father so of course people are jumping to the conclusion or not jumping to the conclusion but people are excited to hear that he's planning to be a father possibly with somebody that he may have ended up with this season well there's so many unknown there's just so much here you know best of luck to deal moss yeah yeah best of luck and a father is obviously a great title to have an investor and entrepreneur all those dreams and
Starting point is 00:13:55 aspirations we wish it upon you dale moss and we will be hearing i think more from you here in the future actually i want to talk about this next headline and have a little bit of a conversation kind of revolve around the picture posted i have a i have a strong theory that i want to share with you but first the headline reads tasha adams returns to instagram after joining season 16 of the bachelorette it's been a minute the headline reads this according to us weekly it's just still interesting to me how she hasn't been confirmed to have been part of this past season they're you know she's allowed to take a picture and pose it and say hey it's been a minute like there's all these illusions and there's pretty much photo evidence of it are they just going
Starting point is 00:14:46 to keep it a secret and never promote her being part of the season until her episodes start to air it feels that way i mean we're getting pretty far into the game it's been i mean i guess can we say it's been confirmed that she joined the 16th season i mean not by ABC and not by The Bachelor, but by all these other people. We confirm it. Yeah, let's just confirm it and say we have no clue what it means. We don't even know if she's the Bachelorette. We just know she shows up and she's there.
Starting point is 00:15:20 We don't know how it ends. I haven't heard a lot from it. Now, two things. My first point, this all, this picture is posted after snapshots were posted from a Girls Night Out at Nobu in Newport Beach, California. I feel like Nobu is the hot spot for recent Bachelor contestants to go to. Like it just feels, I mean, I went there. No judgment.
Starting point is 00:15:45 No shame. Oh, I went with production at one point to Nobu because I was out in L.A. And I was like, hey, I want to go to like the cool hip restaurant that like celebrities go to because darn it, I feel like a celebrity. It is the ultimate celebrity hotspot. And then I feel like it has been for at least 15 years. Anybody who's anybody goes to Nobu. I've never been there.
Starting point is 00:16:09 And I hear that if you just get like a set of appetizers, it's like $350. It's definitely a place that you go to for a special occasion. Perhaps, you know, Tasia is celebrating something with their friends and family. We don't know what. We have no idea what it could be. We really don't. Like this feels like we're like tongue and changing. care yeah i have no clue i mean like we don't know if she has something to celebrate we can assume that
Starting point is 00:16:36 she's just celebrating having become the bachelorette and yeah it seems like she became the bachelorette on such a short notice that she probably didn't even get to have like a goodbye dinner with her friends and family here is my point though to the picture posted and bachelor nation i would love for you to weigh in on this and tell me if i'm crazy but there is a unique glow to every single person that becomes the bachelor and bachelorette when they get off the show like Tasha has obviously always been beautiful. Like she is a gorgeous human. But this picture, like you look into her eyes and you're like,
Starting point is 00:17:09 there is something going on in your life that is making you glow. And I remember for the first time this hit me, really after my season, I felt like you just have a new confidence. And you have so much that you know that the world doesn't know yet. And it feels like every single Bachelorette and Bachelors since I've been watching for it. And they just, there's like this switch that flips. And they just become this like, I yeah, glowing human. I mean, she does look just outrageously beautiful in this picture.
Starting point is 00:17:42 She has a little filter on it that gives her a butterfly. Oh, a little bee on her nose. A little bee on her nose. And yeah, so she's back on the gram as of September 10th. So who knows what? happened. Nobody knows what happened. And here is a headline that nobody ever knew. And we're going to move into talking about Becca Kufrin. Because there's a couple of headlines that we need to stick to. And I imagine this will be one of the last weeks we really talk about her and Garrett, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:17 for their own sakes. But this story is one that we never saw in The Bachelor at. The headline reads, Rachel Lindsay reveals why she saged Becca Kufrin's vagina, which actually is an incorrect statement. because I, as I mentioned, I learned something? Did you learn something new? Well, back in college, I was a sex ed study. I did do sex ed studies formally. She actually, if this was correct, it would say she saged Becca Kufrin's vulva. Because that is the entirety of the organ.
Starting point is 00:18:52 And she shares the bikini moment that didn't air on The Bachelorette. This is according to us weekly. Again, Rachel Lindsay reveals she saged Becca Kufrin's vulva. At first, I read this and I was like, oh, this is outrageous thinking that it was Ari and, like, Garrett's pass that she was trying to sage away from it. But actually, this is kind of a throwback comment. They just recently came out about it on the Happy Hour podcast. She said that before Becca's season of The Bachelorette, because, quote we got to do a cleansing on you because you had ari like good luck uh rachel decided to
Starting point is 00:19:37 take sage and put it all throughout becca's body so that she can have a clean slate at being the bachelorette not tainted by her past with ari kind of funny you can see if that had made cut that it would have been pretty funny just absolutely outrageous Another Becca Kufrin's story. Becca Kufrin says she's doing surprisingly well after Garrett split. This according to Us Weekly. Do you have anything to elaborate on this? Because you are closer to Becca than I am.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Have you talked to her since? I haven't been able to talk to her. No. Again, this is a good statement. I think if either of them came out and said they are doing well, like that's what we want and that's what we hope for in fact you know bachelor breakups are difficult and they can drag on a lot longer than you want them to because people ask people associate with you some people don't always know that you broke up so they still ask you about hey how are you and
Starting point is 00:20:38 garret doing you know um and it and it feels like for us as we talked about it and hinted at it for weeks it felt like a long time coming and so i'm assuming now that they're both moving on and moving forward for them to say they're doing well or at least for Becca to claim she's doing well is is a good statement it's one that we should recognize and also I feel like now move on from that Becca and Garrett are starting a new chapter of their life and it's going to be a good chapter hopefully I agree what's our next hot topic our next hot topic rolls into a really beautiful story it any time there's new life that comes into this world. It is something to celebrate. And we have a former
Starting point is 00:21:30 bachelor contestant, Liz Sandoff Presta, welcomes daughter Jovi as she reveals baby spent time in Nick U. Elizabeth Liz Sandoff Presta. So if you guys remember Liz, she was on Nick's season, made a huge splash because she slept with him before their season at Jen and Tanner's wedding. And she got married, I think a little over a year ago, and they just welcomed their first child, a baby girl on September 1st. And yes, she was in the NICU for a little while, but she is doing really well now. She says that she named Jovi, Jovi, because it means joyful. And she says she's big on name meanings and she wants to speak joy over her life. It is something to celebrate.
Starting point is 00:22:18 And what a cool story. congratulations Liz just awesome to see and in a podcast that in a few moments is going to have some really difficult topics that Ashley and are going to try to walk through and talk about this is something that we can all lift up and say hey a baby was born a baby is in its home and now now they can celebrate it so Ashley there is a topic that I want to pause and talk to you about. This week, you were up to something that is in just something that I have always dreamed of, something that I could have never imagined, something that impacted my life in ways
Starting point is 00:23:08 that I never knew anything could. Okay, I'm looking at him confused, you guys. I have no idea where he's going with this. So growing up, I watched every single episode. of Boyme's World. Okay, yes. And Ashley and Jared recently posted that on a trip, I think it's to see Tanner and Jade.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yeah, we did a little staycation. You ran in to a very famous character from Boy Meets World. Let's tell everybody about it. Okay, so we met the Corey Matthews himself, Ben Savage. Oh, my God. Ben and I, I didn't know we shared this passion for Boy Meets World. Jared and I still to this day If we need like a good comfort show
Starting point is 00:23:51 We don't know what to watch We put one meets world on on Disney Plus It's maybe the most underrated show of all time Like I know our generation really You know appreciates it But like I think it needs to be talked about more In like the column of greatest shows of all time And like best best messages
Starting point is 00:24:09 But like not done in a corny way And the best character development And it's just so funny and so heartfelt It's the best right so Jared Jared um he would quote it we we one time he was quoting it a scene or something down in paradise and I was like and this is back when we very much were not together and I just remember being like oh my god this guy loves boymates world he knows it by heart he he kind of has Cory Matthews qualities he's kind of a geek but hilarious at the same time I don't know like he
Starting point is 00:24:44 him quoting born mate's world was very meaningful to me me and then like we quoted along together and it was just one of those things i was like this makes him the perfect man to me and then as our relationship evolved we we always say that we're kind of most like the korean depanga if we had to compare our relationship to anything like in media because we started out as friends and we just have like this just that's just the way we interact is most like kore and depanga and then we always have called um alon gale mr fiender because somehow he's always been meddling in our, in our lives, in our love life. Alon Gail was an executive producer.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yeah, he was an executive producer on the show while Ashley and I were on the show. Yeah, so he's our Mr. Feeney. And when Jared saw Ben Savage downstairs two days ago at the Taranaya Resort in L.A. He calls me because he's picking up lunch down there. And he's like, Ashley, Ben Savage is down here. don't know what to do I need your help and I was like okay I'll be right there I'll be right there because he's like very shy and when he goes up to people that he runs into that he's idolized and I kind of can just go right up I I feel like a pro because I was this the ultimate fan girl
Starting point is 00:26:01 you know in my my youth like don't worry I got a lot of practice yeah so I go up to him I go hey Ben I introduce him to us and I just tell him how meaningful the show has been to us and how we relate to it and all of that. And he was so sweet. He thought it was really cool that we met on The Bachelor. And he was everything that... Did he know you guys? No, but he was everything that you wanted him to be.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And then when we were like, and get a picture, you know, we did it so that we could like take our mask off, but still be six feet away. And he was like, put your hands up in the air like Corey. And that's the way that he makes this Corey face and the picture makes me smile so hard. And the man hasn't aged at all. So great.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Like he looks the end. exact same as he did in the college years so my hope was that this story would end with me asking hey did you recognize you guys and you're like yeah he did and i'm like so there's a chance that corey matthews knows who you are but there's not do you know who it who does um will friedel um the one who played eric matthews his brother he is he follows Jared and i think he's very familiar with the bachelor that's just a dream it really is uh if if anybody's out there listening going i have no clue what boy meets world is i'm telling you right now if there's one takeaway in the last what four years three and a half years that we've done this podcast watch boy meets world
Starting point is 00:27:25 like it's so worth it and it does change your life like the way they treat each other the way the family loves each other it's just beautiful was alan matthews not the best tv dad of all time i think you'd have to be up there and then i mean mr feeney is a hundred percent the I would put, if somebody said, what is the most endearing character of, that you've ever watched on television, Mr. Feeney would probably be number one. Like that guy cared.
Starting point is 00:27:56 He was funny. He was annoyed. He, like, but he loved so hard. He loved so well. It was so perfect. The show is perfect. It's one of those things that we are really excited that one day we'll be able to show our kids.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Boy Meets World. Ashley and Jared run into Corey Matthews, better known as Ben Savage. There you go. That's a hot topic for the week. That is just tremendous. Next headline is Chrisel Stouse on if she'd be the Bachelorette after Dancing with the Stars. This year, Chrischelle Stouse will be on Dancing with the Stars. Obviously, this headline is pointing to if she'd ever want to start passing out roses.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Okay, yeah. So she says that she does not want to be on The Bachelor. if you guys know who Chrisella is she is Justin Hartley's ex-wife and she's come to fame of her own on selling sunset over the past three seasons on Netflix
Starting point is 00:28:56 and she's on the season of Dancing with the Stars and of course ABC loves to do a little tie into their other shows and asked if she would be down to do a season of the bachelorette being that she's relatively newly single and
Starting point is 00:29:11 she says that it's she doesn't think it would be the right avenue for her and right now she's just focused on gearing up for dancing with the stars she's feeling exhausted and sore everywhere i i can imagine i've been watching the training videos that katelyn has been posting dance with the stars is just a whole new beast i i know a couple people who've been on the show and they talk about just how much of a commitment it is that's why uh we're so excited about dance with stars especially for our friend kately which we've talked about before but also it's given me a new respect for any contestant that goes on to the show and competes week after week after week we have other Dancing with the stars news we can now confirm
Starting point is 00:29:55 this is the big news guys this is big news kately bristow has a partner on dance with the stars it's a terrific partner a great match for her ashley who is it it's artem and he has been a of the Dancing with a Star is cast since 2014. He's been paired with Patty LaBelle. He was paired with Maureen McCormick from the Brady Bunch, Misha Barton, and Nancy Carrigan, that was, I think, like, his most prominently known celebrity partner over the past couple years. And then for season 25, he also was paired with Nikki Bella, who is his now, his fiancee.
Starting point is 00:30:39 and they just had a baby together. So Caitlin is working with somebody who has a high-profile relationship right now, a new baby, and I think it'll get her a lot of attention. What do you think? I think this is great. I mean, I'm pumped for her. He's obviously, I mean, any of the dancers on Dance with the Stars is incredibly talented, but this does match her, right?
Starting point is 00:31:01 Like, you weren't sometimes on Dance with Stars, it feels like they set up single people because it makes sense. and there's maybe a love connection that can happen and the chemistry is better. But obviously, Caitlin and Artem are both in committed, healthy, happy relationships. Yeah, that's really good. Yeah, they're to dance. They're there to win. I think their chemistry will form based on their pursuit of the championship, the mirror ball. But I couldn't think of a better partner for her.
Starting point is 00:31:31 So I'm just stoked for Caitlin. She's going to crush it. Me too. I'll be watching this season. This season she's got a lot. lot of competition. It's got AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys, and I think that whenever you get a boy bender in there, you know that they're going to go far. I think Chrisel is also going to go far. I just feel like she has a rhythm to her. It'll be really interesting how far, what's her name? From Carol Baskin? Yeah. Carol Baskin gets. She's my, if I had to vote, right, or if I had to gamble on this, Carol Baskin might be the winner. Not because I don't believe in Caitlin. Yeah. But her following's why. Exactly. Exactly. I'm like a little bit nervous that she's going to kind of be like, love you, Joe, but a little bit like grocery short Joe where people just kind of like love seeing them on their screen that it doesn't matter if they're a good or bad dancer. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Carol Baskin with the flower crown and probably the moves the match.
Starting point is 00:32:30 You know that that woman made, did we talk about this? Made $20,000 or $40,000 one day on cameo. Did you even tell me that? I think I did. Yeah, that's a wild. That's a wild number. I mean, you got to think about how many videos that is. And Ashley, to be honest, I was one of the people that purchased one. Wait. No, you're doing this for the sake of a good podcast, aren't you? No, no, I'm not. No way. Who did you get it for? So, Jessica's family was coming to Wanda Lake Indiana for the 4th of July this year, and we watched Tiger King together. And so I got a video from Carol Baskin welcoming them to. to Winole Lake, Indiana, and telling them that, you know, just to have fun to enjoy the wildlife that Wadena Lake offers. It was fantastic. That's hysterical. She's $300, I'm calling you out for spending $300 on this, but I think you probably thought it was worth it. Yeah. It's so worth it. It got me some brownie points, actually. I think just because Dad passed it around to some of his friends.
Starting point is 00:33:34 And, yeah, if you don't know about cameo, it can be a ton of fun. Just go on and check out who's on there. And, yeah, Carol Baskin was one of my purchases. I've had a good time with it myself. Ashley, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to talk about a recent Bachelor Nation split that some might not have known about. And then we're also going to dig into the big story of the week.
Starting point is 00:34:02 which is obviously the Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph situation. We're going to try to walk through that with what we know the best we can and update everybody to the current events surrounding that topic today. So, hey, with that, let's take a break.

And in the new season of the Overcomfit podcast, I'm taking you on an exciting journey of self-reflection. Am I ready to enter this new part of my life? Like, am I ready to be in a relationship?
Starting point is 00:36:09 Am I ready to have kids and to really just devote myself and my time? I wanted to be successful on my own, not just because of who my mom is. Like, I felt like I needed to be better or work twice as hard as she did. Join me for conversations about healing and growth. Life is freaking hard. And growth doesn't happen in comfort. Happened in motion, even when you're hurting. All from one of my favorite spaces, The Kitchen.

Be a part of my new chapter and listen to the new season of the Overcumper podcast as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency, and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this. Do this. Pull that. Turn this. It's just... I can do my eyes close.
Starting point is 00:37:18 I'm Mani. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, no such thing. We get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk. Talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then, as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the run right. I'm looking at this thing.
Starting point is 00:37:43 See? Listen to no such thing on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison? or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth. Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training.
Starting point is 00:38:19 These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. bachelor nation's victoria fuller confirmed split from chris soles we went a separate direction this according to people and also the vile files okay so this made me kind of sad because well one
Starting point is 00:39:09 we were excited that chris had gotten a girlfriend he hadn't dated somebody seriously in a while but like i think it confirms his fears about his iowa life like you and i know that he's always had this insecurity about being from iowa and wanting to stay there because he feels like no girl that he'll ever like will be down to live there and it kind of this is exactly what happens here she says that right now she's living her best life she said that they went in a separate direction I respect him so much I think he's an amazing man and just like that right and I just think that like right now I'm in a different place than he is and I'm not moving to Iowa anytime soon she continues to say that i still talk to him all the time i think he's amazing i think
Starting point is 00:39:58 we're a lot of like i just want to focus on myself right now she said that their relationship is kind of complicated she's just living her life and she's on and again that he's an amazing man deserves somebody here he deserves somebody who's super awesome who's willing to go to iowa and live in iowa and right now i'm not there yet maybe i will be in a couple years you know it's been interesting because you and I were able to sit down with Chris. He had moved temporarily to Los Angeles. He was pursuing some dreams out there and some farming land out there. This is an insecurity for him.
Starting point is 00:40:40 It has been for years. He has a great life in Iowa, and he has a lot going for him in Iowa. And I think this, I imagine this just feels like a reassure. and a validation to some of his biggest insecurities, which is never a fun thing to go through. We mentioned a few weeks ago, you know, that they had kept this private. We had rumored that, you know, it had ended. But now it's the story's turning into, where is Chris at? Like, how, how do you move on? And Ashley, what would you tell a friend who's in a current situation and living with their life moving forward
Starting point is 00:41:21 in a certain place that really nobody to this point at least wants to move to. I don't know. I feel like what he was doing before COVID and like kind of splitting his time between Iowa and L.A. was good because that way he could, you know, find a girl in L.A., spend time with her in L.A., and then they could be like,
Starting point is 00:41:44 I know that Iowa is not a coast, but you get my drift when I say like a little bit bi-coastal. because I think a girl would be down to like live there half the time and then like have the city life available to her as well so maybe that's kind of what he has to do but his family's there and his business is there and we we know that he has a fantastic business and it's just something that he can't leave I just think that he's going to need to think about splitting his time a little bit but is there not anybody in Iowa that he could be with now? out all Iowa ends.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Yeah. Chris Souls is waiting on you. If you are single, ready to mingle, and Chris Souls catches your eye, give him a shout out. Like, I think this guy, yeah, he's ready. He's wanting. And it was a shocker to me, honestly, as a friend of his, that when the Victoria Fuller story even came out, because I was like, this was unexpected.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Like, I didn't see this. and then they kept it so quiet and it now just ends in a way that I know it has to be hurting him. Like it has to just sit deep on his heart. So it is confirmed Victoria Fuller did that on the vial files and then people published it and has confirmed that she is moving on with her life and that things are good and that there's respect. But that is no longer relationship that we can even talk about. Does he need to go on farmers only? like why isn't he the supposed to find a girl in the Midwest who's already used to that lifestyle
Starting point is 00:43:25 I don't even know what I was thinking beforehand saying that he should be like by coastal like he needs to find somebody who wants to live that life fully yeah I mean I came from a you know a small town in the Midwest and there are some tremendous people that come through and out of it I'm sure there's somebody I'm sure there's somebody for crystals but it hasn't happened yet and it sounds like victoria is like wanting to have city life and it sounds like she's wanting to have single life too i think she's just trying to have fun right now and he is not trying to have fun that man is trying to settle down and have kids yeah he he really desires it well actually we're going to switch gears a bit um this is a real it feels like we've broached really difficult topics many times here in the last few months. There's been some Bachelor Nation topics come through that, again, we state this, and it's true, that move outside of the Bachelor world and defy those things and come face to face with reality.
Starting point is 00:44:33 And they sting and hurt, and we feel them at a different level. This is definitely one of those. this topic that we're about to talk about is one that um quite honestly we don't know any more about than what has been published yeah um we will talk through it we will share some opinions but for the most part what we will report is exactly what has been reported exactly because we don't have any insider knowledge nor do we find it to be a situation where we were going to reach out for insider knowledge. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:45:13 Like we weren't going to go to these sources and ask. It is too delicate. It's a very delicate situation. So here's the headline. Bachelor Nations Colton Underwood, allegedly placed tracking device on Cassie's car, also claims harassing texts. If you don't know, Cassie Randolph last week submitted for a restraint.
Starting point is 00:45:39 order against Colton Underwood they were dating they had broken up a little bit over a month ago we talked about through their breakup how it was contentious there was obviously public statements made from Cassie claiming that Colton was trying to monetize their breakup Colton claimed that Cassie was speaking out about their breakup more than what they had agreed upon they then unfollowed each other on Instagram. We talked about that two episodes ago. We were curious to why that had to happen and what brought it to that point
Starting point is 00:46:20 because, you know, typically that happens in breakups, but they waited a while to do it. And so we were just curious. Like there was a lot of curiosity and intrigue around their breakup and why it happened in the way it did. Well, this, to start, to be completely transparent and ashley i want to hear what you thought when i read this headline it was texted to me from a friend it it stopped me like i even talking about it right now my
Starting point is 00:46:52 my hands are shaking like it stopped me in my tracks okay so what was your first what was your first thought my first thought was why um so like what led i mean it's just probably as any person would it's like what led Cassie to need to go to this link like you know if we just lay out the scenario here Cassie understands she's a very intelligent person um that she understands that this is a public relationship that this will become a storyline from everything we know of cassie to this point she doesn't love the spotlight yeah like Cassie has been behind the scenes has worked through schooling while they were together. You know, she, we haven't heard a lot from Cassie other than social media.
Starting point is 00:47:42 And so this for me was like, okay, what I know of Cassie being around her and understanding kind of her public image, she fully knows that this will become a story. So there had to be a reason for it, like a big reason why she was doing it. Okay. So you basically took the words right out of my mouth. It was the first thought I had to. I think that no part of her wants to make him upset, angry, embarrassed. So I think that this was a last-dish-ditch effort on her part.
Starting point is 00:48:14 I think, like, this was her, like, really taking a stand because I really truly don't think that she would want to do this. I think this is, yeah, right? So, yeah, so from social media and everything that we were able to gather, the fans, opinion of this is both sided, right? Some people are protecting Colton saying, you know, that they're fans of him, that they've seen his true character, that there's no way
Starting point is 00:48:40 he could do this. And then there's been, you know, the other side saying, you know, Colton, this is wildly outrageous. I cannot believe you would go to this extent. So it feels like right now there's just a lot
Starting point is 00:48:56 of fan reaction with the unknown. And all we know to this point is that there was a restraining order that was submitted that it's pending right now the judge's decision but the claims are that colton had been stalking cassie he'd been harassing her with unsettling texts this according to court documents that he planted a tracking device to the bottom of the bumper to her car to keep her whereabouts and that um she claims he takes obsessive walks to her apartment complex and loitered in the alley outside her bedroom window at her parents Huntington Beach House at 2 a.m. Now, this is all according to the court documents.
Starting point is 00:49:44 And we should mention that Colton came out or his rep said that he was blindsided by this filing as they haven't spoken in a month and he's been in Colorado. So this all came as a surprise to him. Now, any time these stories come about, you know, the reaction is shock. And then you have to process your opinion. And the question becomes, you know, what side do you fall on? And this right now, Ashley, quite honestly, I'm saying if this is true, if these claims are true, then this is a scenario where it's understandable that Cassie had to go to this extent. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:37 And you have to be, in a sense, and at least we've learned here over the last few years, at least I've become more and more educated on this. Like, the victim is one we need to listen to. We need to hear from. But for Colton to come out and say he was blindsided. And wait, he, I'm reading this, he wasn't the one that was blindsided. The insider says that he was blindsided. He also, this insider also says things about Cassie being worried about losing her fan base.
Starting point is 00:51:10 If it didn't seem like they were coming across as friends and it was her idea to put out the, the look that they, that they split amicably. I mean, so we sit here in this, like, limbo season. This is a shocking story. and it's one that does take sensitivity because there's obviously pain that has been now communicated colton's side though has not came out and said this is untrue um just just to know this has not been claimed to be untrue but there has been a confusion he was again blindsided but a restraining order is pending ashley as a as a close
Starting point is 00:51:59 person to the franchise and then to go beyond the franchise and just say as a as a person reacting to this story like how does it make you feel weird yeah yeah makes me feel weird because I truly like seeing them interact when I those times that I did and you know I wouldn't call Colton Cassie friends I call them quens that's what I use as the in-between of friends and acquaintances. And I am shocked because seeing how, like, friendly and cute and flirty and adorable they were, like a breakup, sure, I can see a breakup. But going from that to going to this just sounds, it's just crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:51 It's just crazy. Unexpected, weird, unprocessable, right? You know, you and I both have been around them. I've gotten to know Colton. It's kind of the situation where you're like, okay, so I can understand that things go on behind closed doors, right? But this is one of the things where it's like, whoa, lots of things. Apparently we're going on behind closed doors and Instagram filters and all that. It's hard.
Starting point is 00:53:27 like it's really hard to even comment because it's hard to comment because no matter what is said it's it's still unproven untrue yet the claims make us both you know pull back and go wow like this this isn't good like this you know so you have the claims and the claims are scary are worrisome they make sense to why you would file a restraining order Yet we still, and we've learned this lesson in our time on this podcast, if we jump to conclusions before anything's proven, then oftentimes there's mud on our face. Right. You know, we can't do that here, but what we can promise is we'll follow this story, but we got to do it with the sensitivity that the situation needs. Like you, you know, if if this is true, it's unsettling, it's, it's worrisome, it's concerning and it makes sense. If it's not true, then there is a support that needs to be given to both parties to help walk them through it. Now, I'm not going to say they're going to lean on the homeless famous podcast for that support, but with our listener base, like, there is an influence that we need to be mindful of. Yes. And I also think I should be, I want to reiterate that like, yeah, Ben and I like being insiders and getting you guys inside information, but this is just not one of those times. We're going to like be priding ourselves on getting you insider information because it's just not worth it for us because we're too close to the source.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Too close to the source. Um, yeah. Wow. I don't know. Like, you know, I've talked to friends in the franchise about this. and friends of Colton about this. And it feels like every conversation that I have with people that know him well, it ends like this is ending with a, I don't know, and I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to respond, but I'm incredibly unsettled.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Like, I feel so weird. And I hate, I hate, I hate that this is something that we need to talk about before we know anymore, but it's important to do that because it's obviously been out everywhere this week. Yeah. And maybe this is the best place to end this conversation is just saying the story is that the Cassie filed a restraining order, that there's some concerning claims being made that we don't know if they're true or not, and that we'll update you as things get up. updated to all of us. Yeah. Maybe that's where this ends.

Starting point is 00:59:57 Grasias Come Again, is back. This season, we're going even deeper into the world of music and entertainment with raw and honest conversations with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities. You didn't have to audition? No, I didn't audition. I haven't auditioned in, like, over 25 years.

We've got some of the biggest actors, There's musicians, content creators, and culture shifters sharing their real stories of failure and success. You were destined to be a start. We talk all about what's viral and trending
Starting point is 01:00:31 with a little bit of chisement, a lot of laughs, and those amazing vivras you've come to expect. And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity, struggles, and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewash because you have to do the code switching? I won't say whitewash because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me.
Starting point is 01:00:48 But the whole pretending and cold, you know, it takes a toll on you. Listen to the new season of Grasas Has Come Again as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, guys, before we leave you, thought that we'd do some fun Twitter questions. Inside scoop that possibly only Ben and I would be able to answer four. you. This is a good question. This is from Casey. She said, how does a casting process for Bachelor in Paradise slash Winter Games play out? I hear a lot about the casting for the main show, but not
Starting point is 01:01:28 about cast returning for the spin-off shows. It's actually a great question. The producers reach out to us and they ask if we want to go on. I mean, you probably had to make a splash of some sort on your past season to make it onto a spin-off or you were somebody that the producers thought could make a good splash, thought would be an interesting character, and they want you to come back and show that off while you weren't given the opportunity on the main show. Ben, do you have anything else to add other than the fact that, like, they call you if they're interested? No.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Some people actually kind of get, I don't want to say screwed over, but you know what I mean, disappointed because they'll get an initial call. and then a couple weeks later they're a little bit ghosted they don't hear from production and they just decided to go with somebody else so that's always a bummer yeah you just get a phone call i mean i remember with winter games the idea was exciting it was a completely new show um there was a lot of unknown about it and so they just called and said are you interested in doing this and i was like yeah why not and that was about as easy as it went uh i don't know if it's like that for everybody but i was Oh, like, of course I'll come and ski down a mountain for a couple weeks. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I was just, I was reading your book, and I was reading the story about the ski accident, Brandon, and thinking about how dangerous skiing can be and how unbelievably unsafe it was
Starting point is 01:03:02 that I went down an intermediate hill after four hours of practice. That's a good point. Anyway, next question. How, who picks the activity for. dates and who picks who is going to be going on the date i think this is a bad question yeah so this is always a good question and to answer it honestly um at the beginning of the season you sit down with production and you tell them all of your ideal dates you kind of run through a list for a couple hours on like this is what i'd love to do with my my people uh and they go and they kind of make
Starting point is 01:03:41 those things happen now there's 40 dates that happens from the start to the finish of a show and you there's no possible way a league can come up with 40 different creative dates that will match the show and so the show then takes your ideas and your personality and I think I really appreciate this there's a whole date team that then kind of like personalizes and configures these dates and then you are involved in learning about what the dates are going to be and how they're going to match you now as the season goes on you really do get to pick who you take on these dates but there's always the insight of the producers to say hey you just and because it gets convoluted like hey you just took this person on a one-on-one last week you can't take them on a one-on-one this week or you know this girl's been on eight group dates straight like you sure you just want to take her on another group date or is it time for you to say goodbye to her because like you're obviously not wanting to spend one-on-one time with her like have you thought through that yet they help navigate that so that you know there is a rhythm and a flow and a consistency and that no one person is getting messed over or no one person is getting too many one-on-ones and so that's always
Starting point is 01:04:58 kind of a navigating and a a piecing together of the process that is done at least for me i felt like we did as a team uh we'd sit down at dinner and we'd talk about the next day or the next two days and we'd kind of share what's coming up and who I was most intrigued by. And I think that's probably how it works in most situation, as long as the lead has a good relationship with the show and that they're working together. And there was moments that there was contention. Like there was moments where I was like, no, I want to take this person on one-on-one. And they're like, hey, you just took her on three one-on-ones this year.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Like, nobody else has even had, some people haven't had one yet. That's a, like, what are you doing? And you'd have to evaluate that and say, I don't know what I'm doing. I really don't. I've never done this before. Interesting. So that's how it works. Are you able to buy additional clothing?
Starting point is 01:05:48 Like if you end up going to a snowy location and you aren't prepared. So you get a packing list and it tells you in so many more words than you need to literally pack for each occasion, formal, casual, sporty, high-end fancy and for each season. like they basically tell you in too many words to bring your entire closet all your favorite clothes from each season um i had everything that i probably would have needed but i think if you do go on on a date like skiing or something like in the brutal cold they're going to set you up with a cute outfit like there's certain things that they provide for you right especially if it's a one-on-one if it's a group date depends it depends on the activity like some Sometimes they just have everything they need for, like, a very specific type of date. And then are you, like, able to go out and buy anything? We had one time in the time that I was there where we got to go to Target. And that was really exciting. Just to run, like, an everyday errand with your new best friends was just really fun.
Starting point is 01:06:57 And plus, it was the first time we were out in civilization for a month. Yeah, I went and bought new boots because somebody on production, I brought the boots for, Like, I brought my clothes from my closet. I remember before I went on The Bachelorette, my friends came over. We went through my whole closet. I tried on all these clothes. I had a bunch of girls over to help me pick them out. And quite honestly, I just didn't have much of a fashion sense.
Starting point is 01:07:25 I actually am looking at my clothes right now that are laying on the floor. And I'm like, yeah, I still don't. Stop. I still struggle with that. No, you don't. The producers at one point said, hey, your boots are like getting pretty worn. Let's go find you a new pair of boots.
Starting point is 01:07:43 And so we went out and got a new pair of boots. We were in Ireland at the time. And you can see that. I'm like, I'm walking with confidence into my overnight with Caitlin with these new gray boots on. I like remember that outfit. That was maybe your best outfit the entire season. Yeah. And then Ashley, you'll laugh at this.
Starting point is 01:08:00 There's a producer on the show, his name's Todd. And he's pretty high up now on the show. And he had this cardigan. that was incredible and it had like the it was from target there's a great like little cardigan and i was going on my date and i said todd every time you wear that cardigan i get like i just look at you differently like i like i like you more he's so snuggling and he's so snuggling and he goes well you want to wear it and so i actually wear his cardigan on a date i took it off his body and put it on because i was like i i want to wear this and then we have this little thing that any
Starting point is 01:08:35 show I go on since then anytime I have any type of residual appearance that cardigan will pop up he'll bring it I'll put it on I love it Todd is one of the most beloved people in my life okay so that his nickname on the show is turd that's pretty good yes I also like think that was like Jared went he didn't have a tux so they gave him like a very fancy Hugo boss tux before his day with Caitlin like those are the kind of special occasions where you get something um and then the other question very related is is there one stylist for the girls and the guys like is there they share a stylist and that is your good friend carry my absolutely i absolutely love carry so carry is a stylist he does the bachelor and bachelorette and harrison so his
Starting point is 01:09:24 kind of he kind of leads the style of all three so if you don't like the clothes you can blame him if you like to close make sure you love on him he has his own uh instagram page that he kind of promotes the styles worn but carry is just a tremendous human loving and caring and sweet and sensitive and he has no obligation to the production of the show and so he was always like kind of my safe place i would go to him and cry or go to him and yell and go to him and then he just put me in some clothes and tell me to buckle up and get out there and i love care he has a huge place in my heart i really really care about that man next question last question is what's what's in the Bachelor fridge and pantry. So they have these huge jars of Oreos and Peanut M&Ms. And I think
Starting point is 01:10:15 that itself gains you like The Bachelor 10. You just like grab them any time of day that you're feeling bored. And there is a lot of downtime, especially when you're on like one of the main shows. And then in the fridge, you can request anything. Somebody goes to the grocery store like once every three days and you can you it's stocked it's really got everything you'd ever imagine eating do you think that's changed due to covid uh yeah they probably don't have a communal kitchen they probably just have like a buffet of meals right or like actually so sad having been down there i can say that i don't even think they would have a buffet style i think they probably have like wrapped meals that they order every throughout the day one of my favorite things about
Starting point is 01:11:02 the show is when you aren't on a date and everybody's sitting in a room and like you pull out the Oreo jar and you pull out the Eminem jar and everybody just like sits and talks and eats all day it's fantastic I know so good so good any more questions Ash no that's it's it but you guys tweet me your questions more often it's fun we we like to wrap up each podcast with some questions like those it's always ideal well Ashley it's another great week we will be back next week with an episode of In-Depth with Jason Tartick.
