? You are listening to the Reality Steve podcast with your host, Reality Steve. He’s got all the latest info and behind the scenes juice on Grant’s upcoming season of The Bachelor and interviewing some of your favorite reality stars. Now here’s Reality Steve.
Welcome to podcast number four 16 I’m your host reality Steve. Thank you all for tuning in a good talk today with someone who’s been on the podcast numerous times have her on every three or four months. It is Kate Casey from the reality life podcast and we are going to get to her momentarily. So, you know, I bring Kate on every three or four months.
Get you caught up. We talk about reality shows. We also talk about documentaries that she has watched documentaries that she recommends a good conversation. They dove into the love is blind reunion a lot regarding the Tyler and Ashley stuff, Marissa and Ramsey’s Garrett and Taylor. She interviewed Nick Dorka, but she only interviewed him while the show was still airing.
So she didn’t get a lot out of him, but she does have a take on Nick and Hannah and the reasoning why they didn’t last. We also discuss some Golden Bachelorette between the Guy and Gill temporary restraining orders. We go over some documentaries that she is watching, some documentaries that she recommends for you to watch.
So obviously check that out and remember that this podcast, now that you’re listening to it, is also up on my YouTube channel. RealitySteve24, Up on my YouTube channel and you can see which shirt I’m wearing this week. It is 90210 related because yesterday in the daily roundup, I had that story about Tori Spelling and Brian Austin green talking about their sex life while they were filming the show, which is really weird because Brian Austin green is married to Sharna and Tori Spelling is fresh out of a divorce.
Look, I don’t know how we only see what they give us on social media. Brian and Sharna seem to be happy. They just not just had a child. I think that child is maybe a year, something like that. Regardless, can you imagine if Brian Austin Green and Sharna got divorced? How many people, I mean, Tori has been married to Dean McDermott or was married to him for the longest time.
How many years were they married? A lot, right? Can you know how many people would be clamoring for Donna and David to get married in real life? Pretty much everybody. She just had him on their podcast and they talked about their sex life from when they were teenagers. I know that doesn’t mean anything and I’m sure Brian got it approved by Sharna.
I don’t think Sharna is jealous of Tori. It’s just interesting for them to be talking about that and her telling him, you know, She remembers every detail about it. He thought it happened at Shannon Doherty’s house. She’s like, no, it happened at Disneyland. He’s like, Disneyland on a ride. He’s just, she’s like, no, it happened at the Disneyland hotel.
It was like, oh, and I don’t know. It just, you heard me talk about it yesterday on the daily roundup. And it’s just, I don’t know. It’s interesting. I’m not clamoring for Brian and Sharna to get divorced. But would I be against David and Donna getting married in real life if they happened to both end up single again at the same time?
No, I wouldn’t just because the content that it would give me, I might talk about them every single day on this podcast if they got married in real life, because all I would do would be mix their real life with their TV life when they dated back in high school and. Yeah, I would just go there, but I mean, it’s no different than if I want to see Jason Priestley and Jenny Garth get married, obviously to each other.
They’re both married now. They’re not happening. It’s way more chance of David and Donna to get back together than then Jason and Tori, Tori, Jason and Jenny. But, you know. One can dream Check out the daily roundup. It was posted a couple hours ago. The sports daily was posted an hour ago but again as we’re trying to build the YouTube channel, all I ask is if you listen to this podcast just on the audio version on Apple podcasts or Spotify I would just say take a second to go over to my youtube channel at reality C 24 and just Maybe watch the video, like it subscribe.

She is the host of the reality life podcast. She is a multi time guest on the show. Have her on every three or four months or so. Let’s bring her in.
Kate Casey from the reality life podcast. Kate, how you doing? Good. How are you? I’m good. And here we are. I said at the open, bring you on every three or four months. I was like, when did I last have Kate on? And yeah, it was about August. It was literally almost three months to the day we’ve had you on. I think it was August 8th.
So it’s perfect coming
on because we always talk about stuff that you should be watching But I have to ask you this burning question.
Oh god
Does this guy chalk really love her or does he just want to win?
That seems to be a lot of what the consensus is That he’s too pushy and he just seems like he’s saying all the right things and to win You know, I mean, let’s
talk in a lot of like football terms and then I want to social media.
Everything is kind of like bro town, like everything he does. He’s like now I’m going to go to the country club and I’m going to hang out with these 20 guys. I’m probably going to talk about like our football careers and he seems so like so uptight and kind of like wound up like white knuckling it like if I don’t win and beat these weirdos like I got to call it a day.
I haven’t even seen his social media. I haven’t even followed. I did not know that. I didn’t know what he posts or anything like that.
Okay, another thing that’s weird, and I don’t know if this is because I was a podcaster, but at the beginning I was like, Oh, this guy’s my favorite. So I did something on my Instagram story like, This guy’s my favorite and he shared it and then he deleted it like 15 minutes later.
Oh, he did?
Yeah.
So what’s that? I mean, it’s possible. What’s that
about?
Yeah. I don’t know. What did you, what did you share? What did you post? No, all
I said was like, it was like a clip from him on the show and I went, this guy’s my favorite or chalk’s my favorite.
Oh, okay. Yeah. I don’t know why he would delete that after 15 minutes unless he hasn’t been posting people doing that all season and he was like, yeah, maybe I shouldn’t.
It was the first episode. Okay, it’s possible. He was just like, you know what, if I do it for one, that means everybody that compliments me, I got to do it for them. And he was just like, you know what, I’d rather just not do it. But if he’s been liking and doing stuff like that since then.
Well, would somebody at the network say it’s in bad form to post a podcast or likes you?
Would they do that?
It’s possible. I know that they’re very strict when it comes to social media stuff. So it is very possible.
So will they, if there’s a contestant, do you think the publicists are like, Hey, let’s just, you know, like run stuff through us first? Or do you think they tell them like, this is the kind of stuff you should be posting?
Well, what they do is, I mean, I know they do this for bachelor and bachelorette. I’m probably assume they do it for golden bachelorette as well is what they do is before every episode airs. Everyone that’s a contestant on the show gets sent an email of pictures and videos that were taken during filming and they’re just given a batch of them to say, Hey, you can use these in your social media posts.
So that’s how they’re allowed to do it. Because sometimes when you’re watching bachelorette, like Jen season, and you see some of the guys posting, you know, selfies of them going like this or whatever, it’s just like, wait a second. I thought they didn’t have their phones. They don’t. Producers took those pictures and then producers put them in, I guess, you know, a pile.
So when the show actually does air three or four months later, they say, Hey, these are from episode two. You can post these as we head into tonight’s episode. So that’s
interesting. So that’s the way
it works for them. Before we get into golden bachelorette, I did want to start out with Love is blind because I know that you’ve talked about it recently
I’ve,
I’ve still got some serious questions about the reunion, things that were said at the reunion, things that have been said post reunion, because I don’t think we’re getting the answers that we have questions to, they’re just answering in generalities, and I’m just kind of shocked.
The problem was that two couples in particular, they had conversations that were not filmed. And so they allude to that and you’re like what so there are things that I don’t even think the producers Understand about their personal stories and their couple stories because they withheld it from the filming portion Which is just a disaster It doesn’t play out.
Well, it makes people frustrated
Are you aware of? Tyler’s baby mama’s instagram posts.
I am
okay That’s the thing that I want to talk about first because on the reunion show which this is the thing I don’t know But I’ve seen Ashley speak post reunion show is I don’t know if the reunion show was filmed before or after Tyler’s baby mama said what this situation is after kids.
Okay, it was filmed after or she posted after
No, the reunion was it was after she posted it.
Okay, so Ashley could have addressed it addressed this on the reunion She wanted to
Yeah, but if you watch the two of them, the way she was looking at them, they had some sort of agreement. Like, this is what we’re gonna say.
They had already crafted their lines. They didn’t want to go any further. And I mean, to her credit, she probably did a good job with, you know, the linguistics, probably saying, you know, this is, you know, we are, we are comfortable with What we’re going to do moving forward and it’s really at this point. No one else’s business.
I mean in normal life. That would be great. But you’re also on a TV show and we invested all these weeks into your story. So we would like some answers. I’m sure the production team was pissed off too. But where do you go when someone says that?
Yeah, you can’t really force them to say anything, but since the show, she’s almost like getting mad at the public for saying like, you don’t think I did.
She said the second she got her phone back, she did a Google search on Tyler. It’s like, okay. But what we want to know is On the show he was calling his three children sperm babies and we come to find out only one of them was like Why hasn’t she addressed the fact that number one the twins that he has with this woman were conceived through sex, right?
And then number two And i’m just taking the baby mama’s instagram post at face value. Maybe she’s lying. I don’t know but number two She said specifically that The last time he has spoken to them or seen them was the day before he left for filming. So, Ashley, just as a woman, wouldn’t you want to know why the man you’re with has disowned three children?
I
don’t understand
this.
Well, especially, I mean, listen, there have been cases, I’ve even covered documentaries, where people do these sort of transactions. Outside of a fertility clinic because it’s much cheaper and certainly lesbian couples have asked men Especially friends of theirs to do this, but most of those people set up some sort of contractual agreement There doesn’t seem to be one here.
So because of that, especially you would think that ashley would be less Defensive when people are trying to bring to her attention moving forward. You are also now financially responsible for these three children So that’s the weird part
Well, what about Just the fact that he called them sperm babies on the show.
I mean, one of them is yes, I get that two of them I mean, I I know is is that just him not wanting to go into detail about Having sex with his lesbian friend I
don’t know. I’m sure he has some sort of Answer that he gave ashley and they allude to that like we had discussions off camera Which again the producers are probably like you’ve got to be kidding me like we’ve put you through these You owe it to us, but they’ve found some sort of loophole where, and I think that’s the problem, people are a little too savvy with this show now that they, you know, in the first like four seasons, they had filmed so many back to back to back that those seasons had not aired yet, so it was sort of a mystery to some of those seasons of like how the show plays out.
Now they’re all too savvy, and I think this was an example of it. Two different couples were like, well, we talked about something off camera. Yeah. But they don’t have any obligation to, to provide us with the information of what those conversations were when they were not filmed.
Yeah, I’m just really wondering now where it goes from here with, with, I mean, the show itself, which we’ll get to in a second because I’ve got some issues with the reunion show and then, which I think a lot of people do.
But I’m looking at these two. I’m looking at. Tyler and Ashley. And like you said, her getting very defensive in post reunion podcast episodes that I’ve seen clips of that show up on my Instagram search page or for you page on Tik TOK. And I’m like, what is it sounds like she’s just not, I guess we’re just not going to get any answers.
Like why isn’t she addressing the fact that this man was part of these three children’s lives? And according to the baby mama, he has not seen or spoken to them in over a year, September 30th, the 2023, the day before he left for filming. So I just want to know, like why were you in their lives before then?
And look, if you just want to send money and just be like, Hey, I’ve got a new wife. I’ve got a new life. I understand. I’m the father of these children. I will take care of my responsibilities in the child support area, but I’m sorry. I’m moving on with my life. That’s the choice that he makes. That’s the choice that he makes, but it sounds like he has absolutely nothing to do with them when I think, which I think is just yeah.
Horrible for the children, whether or not you want to say like, Hey, this is about us. This isn’t, you know, this, this story isn’t about the children. That’s why we’re not going to talk about it. Well, the second he went on the show, he made it about the children. I
know what I bet. I bet he didn’t think he’d even make it that far.
And then he’s getting deeper and deeper and he’s like, Oh shit. Yeah. I got to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Yeah. I mean, I, I just, I’d like to know why he’s disowned the children. Yeah, I mean it’s bad for them. I mean these kids are going to be scarred now I mean once they the twins obviously have no idea what’s going on.
I think they’re very young I think they’re two or something They’re not very old and I think the the the child he had the ivf with his lesbian friend I think that kid is three or four They’re not very old. They obviously don’t understand it yet, but they will at some point, and you’re just like, you just kind of want an explanation from Tyler, just like, tell us about this.
Ex of the, the mother who put the video out, she makes it seem as if, that they were intimate the entire time. So it’s confusing too.
Oh, the ex of the baby mama has spoken out?
Mm hmm.
Oh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen what she said about it. Is that the reason that she split up? Cause they, she split up while they, did they ever get married or did she split up when they were engaged?
Intimates that that Tyler had a romantic relationship with her. That, that, that the ex was not solely interested in one person. Like she had some sort of love affair going on with Tyler. Of course, we don’t know really what the truth is. Cause it’s just a bunch of people screaming at one time, you know,
Yeah.
Well, except Tyler, he is not saying any, he’s not really saying anything, but yeah.
Did they ever
get married? That couple, or they, did she say Oh yeah, they’re
married. Tyler and Ashley. Oh, oh, the other one, the baby
mama and the, and her ex that, that they had a child through Tyler with?
I don’t think so.
’cause they make it seem, it’s like cut, cut and run.
So she left, they, they broke up before. I was just wondering if they ever got married or if they were just engaged. They
had, they were raising the first child and then she split. Okay.
Okay. For some reason, I thought the child hadn’t even been born yet.
Okay.
Got
it. No, I think present in the life.
All right. The next couple I want to talk about is Ramsey’s and Marissa. Right. Only because I don’t even think after watching the reunion, after listening to Marissa, seeing clips of her doing podcasts post reunion, I don’t even really know if I still understand what Ramsey’s.
For ending the engagement two days before the wedding is.
Well, I think he had been married before. And he meets her family and her mom’s like, I’m not interested in you and the bullshit that you’re bringing to the table. And he’s on this weird show and they have to live together. They fight all the time.
And he was probably like, this is probably not a good idea. And I know that because I’ve already been married. I don’t know. I think in the long run, he probably did her a favor. But in the short term, you’re like, could have delivered, delivered the, the information in a better way.
And the conversations they had about condom sex, wackadoo,
crazy, right?
Like, how did he think that that was going to make him look good in any way? Now, obviously, post show, he’s saying, You’re seeing an edited version. I wasn’t making it seem like I was pissed because she wouldn’t have sex with me while she was on her period. That’s not what it was. It’s just like It certainly seemed that way.
Marissa seems to think it was that way.
I think we got a pretty clear idea of how, like how he stands. And as my friend, Chris DeRosa says, no one ever explained the two Jedi braids that were taken off through the rain and made no sense.
I mean, it was barely even brought up while we were watching the 12 episodes of the show.
Like, why do you have these braids? What are, what are they? Why are you, what is the significance? Right. Are you a pad one from the early Star Wars movies? I didn’t know. I didn’t know his
outfit was bonkers, but the worst was Garrett. I mean, what is that guy doing? He’s like a physicist that shows up in the most bonkers outfit and his long hair and she’s wearing this weird.
Dress with like it’s made out of like a cast and she’s sitting all the way on the edge of the chair like she’s about to fall over and his chair seemed way too big for his body and then he’s being annoying and he’s cutting people off and I think he got I think he was falling into leaning into fame a little too much like enjoying a little too much.
What sounds like he’s doing I thought he said he went to when we first saw those pictures surface Which was like two weeks three weeks before the reunion these pictures started searches surfacing of what Garrett looks like now And everyone’s like oh my gosh this he’s totally married. There’s no that’s the wife made him do that That’s a total glow up, which is Yeah, that’s what people were
saying.
Glow adjacent. I don’t know about that.
They, they just liked the way he looked better with long hair, I guess. No way.
He looked way better before, you know.
Yeah, and I think I think you know, look it was I’ve only seen two seasons of the show I saw last season in this season. I never watched any of Seasons one through five because the pod episodes really really bother me because I just feel like everybody’s saying what they think the other person wants to hear and they say things and the You know we talk about how ridiculous the concept of the bachelor and the bachelorette is to get engaged to somebody that you barely Have eight weeks.
I just this is even more ridiculous
When you’re dating, you’re lying. I don’t care if you go on a date with somebody you met through a friend, you’re online, you’re on a TV show, everybody lies. Like, I remember when I was dating my husband, I said, like, I love to cook and I love to travel. Like, I hate to travel and I never cook.
Like, you exaggerate who you are because you want to, like, attract people. You don’t cook, Kate? No, I have no time. And it’s like, no one eats what I make. What’s the point? No,
that’s funny. Yeah. No, we all, what is Chris Rock say when you go out and you start dating your sit, you’re sending a representative of yourself to that’s
what
you’re doing.
And yes, but on this show. I mean, I, there are probably some people out there in the world, but they’re certainly in the minority of people that say, Oh, the part of my husband that I’m with right now. I absolutely would have married him, you know, without seeing him ever. I just think it’s a ridiculous concept to, right?
Propose to somebody before you’ve even seen them physically because it’s not like looks mean everything But you have to be attracted to somebody And you can say well they’re attracted to their heart and they’re attracted to their soul and the way they speak It’s just like that’s just too but you know what I have to
say Watch the uk version.
It’s a little it’s a little nuttier. It’s Very interesting. What do those
people do? Do they try and get clues of what the person looks like?
No, but they’re just so much more So It’s sophisticated and like respectful. There’s no, none of like this, these big weird moments and lies and all of that and outrage.
They’re just very nice people dating. It’s so interesting. I have not watched the one that they have, the Habibi. I want to watch that one because that’s in Dubai. I do think it’s interesting to look at different parts of the world and how people date. So that’s kind of cool.
And I guess maybe it’s just because we are in the U.
S. and the U. S. dating scene isn’t great for people that are It’s wild. in the U. S. dating scene. So, and then when you’re on a show like this, which is now going to be, you know, on February 14th of next year, when Season 8 drops in Minneapolis, those people have now seen Well, the Minneapolis people couldn’t have seen DC, but they’ve seen six previous seasons.
They’ve seen, they’ve
seen other seasons. They know what
they’re getting into and they know what can come of it. They realize they’re on a TV show and you get that whole thing of, are they really taking it seriously? You know,
when I moved to LA and I went on match. com and by the way, I met my husband on match.
com and we lied for two years about how we met each other. I do believe I should be in the match. com ads. It should be me with my husband and my kids screaming. And I look at the camera and I go. Match. com. Are you sure you want this? Okay. But I did meet this one guy and I went out and we had this long conversation and he’s telling me about his, his, his life and his siblings.
He has, he said he had a ton of half siblings. They traveled all over the world and I looked at him and I went, did you grow up in the children of God? Which by the way, is like this crazy sex cult. It’s like with the Joaquin Phoenix and his siblings were in. And yeah. He looks at me and he goes, Oh my God, did you too?
And I went, no, I’ve just watched a lot of 20, 20 and dateline. And I stayed in with that at that date for a little while, just so I could get all the information. And then he asked me out again and I never did, but it was like watching a documentary, but sitting next to somebody at a bar. It was great.
I haven’t, Oh gosh, I was on match.
Literally when it first started, like when it was 1999 a month. I don’t even know what it is now. Is match. com even still a thing? I
don’t know, but I wonder how much these are.
Yeah, I don’t know. I’m not on any of the dating apps. No, I’m not on any of them. I don’t, I haven’t been on them. And I have not been on match.
com since 2006, 2007. So how
do you meet people to date? Just like in town?
I don’t really date. It’s
so hard because if you work from home or you just go to the same place, you’re not really meeting anybody new. But then again, a lot of people are proud. I feel like I could have a side business where I write people’s profiles and consult them on the pictures they should use because I think I could help people.
It’s possible. You can be a matchmaker. Look and see like, Hey, look at. That should be your side. Maybe that’s because I’ve
watched so many of the other shows. Jewish Matchmaker I don’t know. There are like a million. Indian Matchmaker, all of them.
The last thing I want to talk about in regards to Love is Blind is the reunion show, because it got a lot of heat for, I don’t know, maybe just saying it’s going to be this explosive reunion when I never
promised that.
Yeah, I don’t think
this is the most dramatic season episode ever. You just can’t promise over promise. Listen, they have too many couples and under an hour. They’re trying to catch up with all of them. I think where they miss swing and a miss is I don’t like that. They have people that have been on previous seasons and sometimes seasons like five seasons ago.
Who show up and they have them sitting there and catch up with them. I really don’t care about them. Like I’ve already moved on the day after the show ends. So I don’t need any of that. And I think, I feel like Nick Lachey is like the cantankerous husband. That’s sort of like, where are we? Like we’re going to someone’s party tonight.
He’s like the, the date of the wife that doesn’t want to be at the party. And I feel like she gets too emotionally invested in the couples.
My issue is it’s it’s kind of the same majors. I get why they bring other successful couples back because they want to show Hey everybody this works. I just don’t need an update on every single one of them
the one girl Married somebody wasn’t even on on the show So what’s the point?
The only person I even knew was a D because that’s the only other season I watched which was last season I I knew who Marshall was just because he’s Justin’s cousin from The Bachelor or Bachelorette, but You It’s okay to bring back alumni bachelor does it bachelorette does it all the time but the bachelor bachelorette during the after the final row show doesn’t go into the audience and say no every once in a while they will with just one but love is blind went to every single person they brought back and said hey what is the update with you it’s just it’s unnecessary but
you know look at the lake he found love through that show even though he wasn’t on it i mean
who
Blake and GGG.
Oh, Blake
and, yeah, Gina Gianella. I, I don’t even know how to pronounce her name. I, I think it’s GI or something. Yeah,
Giannina. Oh yeah. She’s the beauty. Yeah. I always liked Blake.
He, yeah, I mean, they, and they went on, they found love on that show that they did on MTV, like they went on an MTV show’s. That’s how they met each other.
But yeah, I just think the reunion, I just think the reunion was, I guess I was expecting more. I mean, for me, the baby mama had just gone on Instagram five days earlier. So I’m like, I, the biggest thing I’m looking to hear in this reunion show is what are Ashley and Tyler going to say about this? And they gave me nothing.
They just said, You know, like you said, Oh, the kids didn’t sign up for this. We’re going to, I know what was, I knew everything that was going on. You guys understand this was a year ago. You’re seeing it now, but trust me, I know what’s going on. It’s like, but you didn’t really address what, what we wanted. I felt
like she answered for him.
If you think about it, like he barely said anything, so he gets away with it.
And he said, and he threw up the tears too. He went to the waterworks and it’s just like, okay.
And also the other cast members like him. So if they maybe hadn’t liked him, he would have been held under the fire a little bit more like, no dude, remember when we were filming the show, you said this, no one said that.
Like none of those dudes were like when we were in those pods for two weeks and we hung out all the time because we didn’t have our phones. You told me that you couldn’t wait to have kids, but never brought up the three others or whatever it may be.
No, I clearly they didn’t know until probably the after the show filmed, but you had Nick Dorka on your podcast while the show was still airing, right?
Yes. Yeah. So you couldn’t find out anything. He couldn’t reveal anything to you. But when you spoke to Nick, what was your impression of him? You saw what happened to him at the reunion where he was basically ambushed by Hannah. Saying like yeah, I think and all this stuff. What’d you think of nick when you well,
first of all I liked him because he reminds me of everybody from college because I went to school in dc I think he was way too young for the show I think you know, it was probably very hard to cast for the show and he Like hit a couple boxes, but the biggest box is Mature enough to have their own property and be ready to you know Get engaged to somebody and conversely.
I don’t think that she was You Of the right age either so the two of them felt like little kids playing house in like someone’s back shed and I think to his credit when I talked to him he said this has been a very enlightening experience for me I’ve learned a lot about myself I also couple that with the problem that dudes of his age group who go on reality shows all have which is they get on the show and they their dms are full.
They get recognized everywhere and there’s no chance for introspection when he needs to go through a period of like the year, like, from the show starts airing and. You know before the new season airs where he’s getting so much action, you know, he’s like well this this worked out Well for me i’m was surprised that she said he had put on some notepad I’m going to be the biggest star in love is blind history because I was like, wow, that’s pretty bold I don’t see that happening when you’re from the district of columbia, but okay
yeah, and It kind of plays into what we talked about with bachelor and bachelorette contestants is You know There’s obviously ulterior motives and he put that on there and whether or not she had the right to even go look for it since it was part of a journal and he found it.
By the way, who has a journal anymore? That threw me off. I was like, why? Why? Why does anybody have a diary or a journal?
I have a notes app on my phone. That’s where anything I need to write down and remember goes, but can
you imagine like journaling like, today I’m thinking about, I see these tech talks of people that are always like, start my morning off.
I light a candle. I have some coffee and then I journal. I’m like, What? Crazy.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Yeah, I can’t imagine writing stuff down. My hand would cramp just because you’re not used to writing. We don’t write, we type.
I
don’t want to sit there and write a dissertation every morning when I wake up.
Some people do. I don’t really get it.
