Speaker 2: Do you know? Tell me things that are important to
Speaker 2: you in relationships in your life and what you are
Speaker 2: looking for to cultivate in your dating life.
Speaker 4: So you know, I'm twenty three, now, you know I'm
Speaker 4: in school. I'm marking a lot. I definitely want to
Speaker 4: spend time with my special someone, you know, to go
Speaker 4: on trips, do little dating stuff, and just you know,
Speaker 4: go to family reunions with so I can finally get
Speaker 4: that weight off my shoulders of oh, who's this person?
Speaker 4: Who's this person?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 3: Have you brought people back home before?
Speaker 5: Yes, I've have.
Speaker 4: And it's funny because my parents they get along with
Speaker 4: every person that I brought home. But then after a while,
Speaker 4: like I'll tell them what happened, and they just like, oh, okay,
Speaker 4: we'll just right on the next line.
Speaker 2: I got to start right there. I love the fact
Speaker 2: that we can share with our alitos and all that,
Speaker 2: but not one hundred percent, Miguel, not one hundred percent,
Speaker 2: because you will say something and because of our cultural
Speaker 2: differences through the years, we tend to judge first, understand second.
Speaker 2: So maybe this Awlita, you can tell.
Speaker 1: Everything absolutely, so question how long has it been since
Speaker 1: you've brought someone home.
Speaker 4: It's been about two years since I brought the last
Speaker 4: person home.
Speaker 3: That's what's up?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: And you're you said you're twenty three and you're going
Speaker 1: to school.
Speaker 3: Are you school full time?
Speaker 5: Just part time?
Speaker 4: Because I only have classes on Sundays. So I'm going
Speaker 4: to school for emergency medical Technician.
Speaker 2: Oh hell's yeah, that's awesome. I have a little question
Speaker 2: for you. I know that you live with your aos.
Speaker 2: Can you tell us a little bit about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I'm staying with my mom's dad, so that's
Speaker 4: where I picked up my Spanish from. Both my parents
Speaker 4: are bilingual, but me being the oldest, I used to
Speaker 4: spend more time with them on the weekends and I
Speaker 4: used to go to Churchill when myos and I picked
Speaker 4: them in Spanish there. So me being the oldest, I
Speaker 4: definitely get the one that gets called on every time,
Speaker 4: like like when you're gonna come visit me? Like let's
Speaker 4: go do this. You know, I'm just like cool. But
Speaker 4: I'm very close knit with my albolito.
Speaker 2: So well, that's very good to know. And I'm going
Speaker 2: to tell you I am also the oldest of five,
Speaker 2: so I know exactly where you're at now.
Speaker 1: The last person that you brought home was you said,
Speaker 1: two years ago. What happened there and why did you
Speaker 1: all break up?
Speaker 3: What was the fallout?
Speaker 1: What were the green flags in that relationship? And the
Speaker 1: right flags that you've noticed that you've processed since.
Speaker 4: A couple of green flags that I really paid attention
Speaker 4: to was just like the word of affirmation, because my
Speaker 4: love language is words of affirmation and physical touch. So
Speaker 4: right off the bat, it felt like a dream, you know,
Speaker 4: something that I've always looked forward to. And then the
Speaker 4: red flags didn't show up, probably say like a year
Speaker 4: into our relationship.
Speaker 3: It's pretty normal.
Speaker 5: So long yeah that honeymon faces I.
Speaker 2: Come out right away?
Speaker 3: What were they?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: So the red flags were the lack of communication. I know,
Speaker 4: trust wasn't really there.
Speaker 3: Trust wasn't there both ways?
Speaker 5: Yeah, both ways.
Speaker 2: That's a no note.
Speaker 1: How does it look like for you to trust somebody?
Speaker 1: And how does like ideal communication look.
Speaker 5: Like to you?
Speaker 4: It doesn't have to be like twenty four to seven,
Speaker 4: just more of like, hey, like, you know, what do
Speaker 4: you got going on today?
Speaker 5: Okay? Cool?
Speaker 4: If you end up going out, just text me, text
Speaker 4: me once you make it back home.
Speaker 5: Cool. But that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: So just like check ins really like I'll wake up
Speaker 1: texts and evening texts. If you're going to go out, like,
Speaker 1: let them know so in case like they're gone for
Speaker 1: five hours, you're not worried.
Speaker 2: That little consideration.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just let me know who you're with, so if
Speaker 4: your phone dies or something happens, okay, you're with this
Speaker 4: person exactly.
Speaker 2: Are you a jealous person?
Speaker 5: No, I am not. I am not a jealous person.
Speaker 2: Good to know. Tell me I heard that your own
Speaker 2: I will eat. I thought that you were coming to
Speaker 2: a show to date and I will lead that. How
Speaker 2: did that happen?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 4: I told her what I applied for and I just
Speaker 4: saw the name, like dam Wilita.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, like it reminded me of the show.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, Okay, that's so good.
Speaker 5: I was like something like that. My Grandma's like, what,
Speaker 5: like you're gonna be on this show like that? I
Speaker 5: was like, I don't know, Like I still got to
Speaker 5: get more details, but yes.
Speaker 2: I would lead them dating someone fifty years old right now?
Speaker 5: No, but yes, she was just laughing her but off.
Speaker 3: So how does an ideal date look like to you?
Speaker 4: If I was going to plan a date for a girl,
Speaker 4: the first date, I'll definitely take her to k one speed.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys been go karting.
Speaker 3: Adrenaline Junkie over here, you like adventure themed.
Speaker 4: Dates most definitely, Yes, I am not afraid of heights, so.
Speaker 1: Adrenaline Junkie like adventure dates. You also want someone that
Speaker 1: you want to settle down with. How does intimacy look
Speaker 1: like to you? And how comfortable are you with sharing
Speaker 1: those like really intimate, very human moments.
Speaker 5: When something with that person, I get very comfortable.
Speaker 3: Good and you want that from that person too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but for other people it definitely takes time, of course,
Speaker 4: because of like you know, from their past situation. So
Speaker 4: you know, however long it takes, you know, I'm still going.
Speaker 5: To be there.
Speaker 1: What are some of your grain flags and your red flags?
Speaker 1: What have you been analyzing and processing for yourself, the
Speaker 1: things that you know about yourself that you want to
Speaker 1: work with, and the things that you know you can
Speaker 1: already bring into our relationship.
Speaker 5: So I'll start off with the red flags.
Speaker 4: I know for me growing up speaking up for myself
Speaker 4: and speaking my mind, because you know, if I felt
Speaker 4: like something was off, I'll second think about it, you know,
Speaker 4: and it would be mentally draining for me because it's like,
Speaker 4: I definitely want to speak up on this topic, but
Speaker 4: I don't want to make this person mad, you know.
Speaker 4: And so my experiences throughout the past, it's definitely something
Speaker 4: that I've had to work on, and a lot of
Speaker 4: people told me too. It's just something that you know,
Speaker 4: no matter what, you definitely have to do it and
Speaker 4: work on.
Speaker 2: So does it have to do with the fact that
Speaker 2: it's not what you say, but how.
Speaker 4: Yes, correct too, because I know for a lot of us,
Speaker 4: we take the time to process what we're going to
Speaker 4: tell that person, and sometimes it might come out good,
Speaker 4: but for that person it might seem wrong.
Speaker 5: So definitely that for sure.
Speaker 1: As someone who also has been working through that as well,
Speaker 1: I can see within myself if I don't say anything,
Speaker 1: I still building a resentment and then that eventually will
Speaker 1: hinder the relationship and sabotage the relationship.
Speaker 2: Not only that, you will blow up at the end exact,
Speaker 2: and that's not a good thing. You accumulate, you pile up,
Speaker 2: and you think, wow, I'm going to say it now,
Speaker 2: and at that point you better just say goodbye exactly.
Speaker 4: And that's what happened with my past relationship because how
Speaker 4: we fell off was because she did it on me,
Speaker 4: not once, but twice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you said, I would like the taking time bomb.
Speaker 4: That's how I really felt towards the end because I
Speaker 4: brought up the topic multiple times and you know, the evidence,
Speaker 4: the receipts, whatever you want to call it, and this
Speaker 4: person didn't want to speak up. This person didn't want
Speaker 4: to admit to it, and I had all the evidence.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we know that you coach youth baseball and
Speaker 2: are also studying towards a career in early childhood education.
Speaker 2: Was there someone that inspired you to pursue this and
Speaker 2: what makes working with youth so special for you?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 4: So right off the bat, I'm the oldest stuff five
Speaker 4: and you know me growing up when it came to
Speaker 4: family and unions, parties, whatever, you know, I'll be typically
Speaker 4: the one to take care of my cousins while everybody
Speaker 4: else is having a good time, you know. And then
Speaker 4: just growing up in high school, I had a chance
Speaker 4: to volunteer at a preschool right across the street from
Speaker 4: my school, you know, to get a couple of like
Speaker 4: hours credits whatever, Like it didn't feel like worked to me,
Speaker 4: and so for me, it's just like I'm getting Paige
Speaker 4: and just have fun, you know, And I loved it.
Speaker 4: And then when I eventually graduated high schools, like, you
Speaker 4: know what, I want to at least get my certificate
Speaker 4: in early childhood education.
Speaker 5: You know, that's something that I like.
Speaker 4: And so, you know, ever since then, it's just something
Speaker 4: that I do, and to this day, I still volunteer.
Speaker 4: Right now, we're doing baseball season. So Dodger's dream team.
Speaker 2: So I have my love them in what ages?
Speaker 4: So I have minors, so I have ages nine to
Speaker 4: ten and eleven soul?
Speaker 2: Yeahito, are you interested in marriage down the road?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's definitely.
Speaker 2: Yes, and children the whole.
Speaker 4: Yes, I definitely at least want two or three kids,
Speaker 4: two to three or.
Speaker 2: Two times three, it's either way.
Speaker 3: In your ideal situation.
Speaker 1: If there's a conflict in a relationship, how do you
Speaker 1: approach repair?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So I'm definitely not going to be the
Speaker 4: one that's going to like just goes to and act
Speaker 4: like nothing's going on. If I feel like something's like
Speaker 4: we're having a conflict, give you time, you know, give
Speaker 4: you time to process, you know, what you got to
Speaker 4: say or taken about the situation and then eventually we
Speaker 4: can you know, set up a time or we can
Speaker 4: link up and you know, talk it out like grown adults,
Speaker 4: like you know, And that's pretty much it is. When
Speaker 4: it starts to come where it's like you're not responding
Speaker 4: to text or calls and just leaving me seeing and
Speaker 4: don't respond until like a couple of days later, that's.
Speaker 2: The beginning of the end. Yeah, when things begin to unravel.
Speaker 3: How many relationships have you been in that have felt serious?
Speaker 5: Two to three?
Speaker 3: And what's been the longest one you've been in?
Speaker 5: About three years?
Speaker 2: But it was on and off though, Megan, And when
Speaker 2: did this start? Because you are twenty three?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so this was about like late high school.
Speaker 3: Gotcha.
Speaker 1: Wow, you were also really close to that person's family
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Correct, I still am to this day too, But oh.
Speaker 3: Three, that's nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's been the dating advice you've gotten from your parents,
Speaker 1: your siblings, your tas?
Speaker 4: Just keep doing me, do what I gotta do, so
Speaker 4: whether it's school work, just focus on myself and then
Speaker 4: the love will come find me. So stop searching for love,
Speaker 4: just let it come find you.
Speaker 3: That's nice, that's cute.
Speaker 2: That's cute.
Speaker 3: That's pretty nice.

Speaker 2: of questions for you, so let's get started. What kind
Speaker 2: of people do you usually date?
Speaker 8: I actually usually date just very similar people to me,
Speaker 8: Like I love people that are very positive and like
Speaker 8: to just do anything like adventurous.
Speaker 2: Well I think I've heard that word before. What kind
Speaker 2: of adventurous things?
Speaker 6: Honestly, I like going on a boat, rock climbing, going
Speaker 6: on hikes.
Speaker 7: Like if we get.
Speaker 6: Together, we want to do something, just like, do something spectacular,
Speaker 6: not just like regular movie dates or anything.
Speaker 2: Like creating memories.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, creating. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So tell me what are you looking for right now
Speaker 2: in your dating life? Are you looking for a serious relationship?
Speaker 7: Yes, I am.
Speaker 6: I feel like I always or I used to attract
Speaker 6: just guys there were just one night stands or just
Speaker 6: like they don't really want something serious, and I'm kind
Speaker 6: of like, over it. I don't really want to just
Speaker 6: talk to someone and then forget about them the next week.
Speaker 2: I know that you close with your family, is that correct?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 2: So have you ever brought home anyone that you wanted
Speaker 2: them to meet?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 6: I have, and what happened they were pretty judgments. So
Speaker 6: this was when I was like my first year of college.
Speaker 6: I was freshman, you know, I finally got a boyfriend
Speaker 6: and everybody started finding out.
Speaker 7: But he was just a typical bad boy, and my
Speaker 7: family pretty much knew about him because he just would
Speaker 7: cause a lot of drama and so it was just horrible.
Speaker 7: And after that, I have never introduced anybody to my family.
Speaker 2: Now, you specifically look for a bad boy.
Speaker 7: It's not like I'm looking for it. I think it
Speaker 7: just happens.
Speaker 2: So this was your first year of college, and that's
Speaker 2: the last time that you've dated.
Speaker 6: Since I've dated more guys, but I haven't really found
Speaker 6: someone that I'm like, Okay, I want to commit it
Speaker 6: full on.
Speaker 9: Most of the time, they just want to have sex
Speaker 9: the first night, and it's just.
Speaker 7: Like Uh, I'm okay off that.
Speaker 2: So well, I'm glad to know that that hasn't changed
Speaker 2: since I was young.
Speaker 5: Men.
Speaker 2: Women, we all have our ideas of what we want
Speaker 2: on that first date, and some people are just not
Speaker 2: interested in a relationship. So you do a lot of
Speaker 2: content creation. Is that your work right now?
Speaker 6: Yes? Yeah, I work at the company and I make
Speaker 6: their TikTok videos.
Speaker 2: And stuff like that. Oh, that's going to come in handy.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: Would you rather date someone who uses no social media
Speaker 2: or someone who uses it more than you do?
Speaker 6: I definitely don't mind if they use social media, but
Speaker 6: I'm the type of person that has like the screen
Speaker 6: time and all that, so they.
Speaker 7: Need to have that together too.
Speaker 6: Like, I don't want someone that's like obsessed with social
Speaker 6: media like that, because I know there's people out there
Speaker 6: that'd be on a twenty four to seven and I
Speaker 6: need you to get off your phone and come and
Speaker 6: do some adventure shit with me.
Speaker 2: Oh I love that. Do you date people who are
Speaker 2: younger or older than you?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 7: I usually date older?
Speaker 2: Okay. Does it depends on how mature they are?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I feel like if they have their shit together, we
Speaker 6: can say that because I feel like you can definitely
Speaker 6: have like an older mindset, like I feel like I
Speaker 6: have an older mindset.
Speaker 2: At that point, the numbers become irrelevant.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just just a number.
Speaker 2: I can say that I do it every day. Age
Speaker 2: is just a number. It totally is my love. Now,
Speaker 2: you mentioned that one of your dreams was to travel
Speaker 2: the world, and if you have the chance to leave tomorrow,
Speaker 2: tell me where are you heading? What are you doing there?
Speaker 7: I'm going to Dubai and we going be on camels.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say one or two humps, but no,
Speaker 2: I won't.
Speaker 3: And that is all the time you have. But that
Speaker 3: was a great way to end this. That is your
Speaker 3: speed day. Thank you so much, gott.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with contestant after the break. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to day mal Walita. First, Yes, let's meet Teja
Speaker 1: was Goodja?
Speaker 3: Oh, hello, Tasia, tell us about yourself.
Speaker 10: My name is Tasha Brianna. I actually have two first
Speaker 10: names because my.
Speaker 7: Parents were indecisive bless.
Speaker 10: I am in aries, and I would love to say
Speaker 10: that I'm very big on zodiac signs.
Speaker 9: I see in the face.
Speaker 10: I know aries are known to be hot heads, little tempered.
Speaker 10: I'm not gonna lie Yep, that's me.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 10: I'm a bartender, but also in school for nursing. And
Speaker 10: as far as me, I'm a very spiritual person. I
Speaker 10: did go through a spiritual awakening back in twenty twenty,
Speaker 10: so that's about much as me. I love outdoors. I'm
Speaker 10: an outdoors person water. My mom calls me a fish
Speaker 10: and yeah. I come from a really big family of ten.
Speaker 10: My mom's a foster mom, and I have a cat
Speaker 10: named Fin and that's about me.
Speaker 3: Oh my, that is precious, Tasia.
Speaker 1: I'm going to hand you over for a little speed
Speaker 1: data deak starting now.
Speaker 2: Hello, Tasha Brianne, beautiful name or I'll call you fishy
Speaker 2: like your mom. One little question that caught my attention.
Speaker 2: You said you had a spiritual awakening in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: What did you do that.
Speaker 10: We were going through a hard time as a family
Speaker 10: in general, and we actually became homeless at the time
Speaker 10: when my mom was transitioning, so I had to move
Speaker 10: away from home and it was just really hard not
Speaker 10: seeing my family, and I can just say I was
Speaker 10: not in the best headspace and I was mostly just
Speaker 10: looking for a way.
Speaker 7: Out of the sadness.
Speaker 10: And I found or actually it found me spirituality, and
Speaker 10: I did learn that something that happens is that it
Speaker 10: finds you in a time when you're feeling lost and
Speaker 10: just feeling a little hopeless, and it just helped me
Speaker 10: really discover a lot about who I really am.
Speaker 2: So I can't see me applauding. I'm not making much noise,
Speaker 2: but I am. And you're very right, it's something that
Speaker 2: comes to us at a specific moment. But let's get
Speaker 2: a little bit more into the present now that you
Speaker 2: made me cry, and I hope to God that everything
Speaker 2: is good with your family nowadays. What brings you here
Speaker 2: and what kind of guy are you looking to date?
Speaker 7: Honestly, the fun brought me here.
Speaker 10: I love any new experience that can bring me and
Speaker 10: I've never done anything.
Speaker 2: Like this, nor have we.
Speaker 7: But the guy I'm.
Speaker 10: Looking for is someone that could be an equal trade
Speaker 10: of energy. And it doesn't feel like they're taking too
Speaker 10: much away from me, as I don't want to take
Speaker 10: too much away from them. And I'm mostly looking for
Speaker 10: someone who can make me feel safe and valued and
Speaker 10: protected and really helped me to communicate because I haven't
Speaker 10: been the best communicator, but I really want to learn
Speaker 10: to get better and someone that's patient with me, because,
Speaker 10: like I said, I'm a little stubborn at times, and
Speaker 10: I try my best. I try to catch myself, but
Speaker 10: you know, I'm an Aries.
Speaker 2: We slip up. I was just gonna go there, and
Speaker 2: my Vika's looking at me Aries stubborn. Absolutely, Yes, I
Speaker 2: know that. I know that well. I'm saying it from experience.
Speaker 2: My first husband out of so many was an airy,
Speaker 2: so yeah, that's why he was number one and moved on.
Speaker 2: But tell me how is your dating life right now?
Speaker 10: I have actually been on a cellary journey for about
Speaker 10: six months. I went through a really heart breakup almost
Speaker 10: a year ago, and I wanted to do it correctly
Speaker 10: and heal myself and not just give my energy away
Speaker 10: to any and everyone. So I have been celibate and
Speaker 10: it's honestly been the best time.
Speaker 2: I like exactly what you are saying, but what I
Speaker 2: like the most is that you said that you look
Speaker 2: for your healing before you moved on to another person,
Speaker 2: and that is the best thing that we can do,
Speaker 2: so we don't carry that same baggage with us everywhere
Speaker 2: we go. Yeah, you're very close to your mom, I am,
Speaker 2: Yet your mom was a foster mom. I mean, my
Speaker 2: heart goes out to her. There are so many children
Speaker 2: in this world that need affection, and being a foster
Speaker 2: mom is I just applaud her. But what have you learned,
Speaker 2: if anything, about dating from your mom.
Speaker 10: My mom in the past has never had the best
Speaker 10: dating history, So I did learn a lot up front
Speaker 10: with my standards of what I will accept and what
Speaker 10: I won't write off the bat. It's mostly about the
Speaker 10: way you speak to each other. There's going to be
Speaker 10: arguments and disagreements, but there never needs to be a
Speaker 10: way of degrading each other. And what I've learned from
Speaker 10: my mom is my mom is a very She's an
Speaker 10: incredible woman. I got to say. When I was about fourteen,
Speaker 10: my aunt passed away and my mom took in all of.
Speaker 9: Her four girls, which they were as.
Speaker 10: Young as five, and my aunt had just had twins
Speaker 10: when she passed away, so my mom asked me if
Speaker 10: I would.
Speaker 7: Help her raise them because it was just me.
Speaker 10: I was the oldest, and my mom did not have
Speaker 10: a significant other and she still hasn't till we've had
Speaker 10: those kids. So she did ask me if I would
Speaker 10: be willing while she was in school, and I was.
Speaker 10: I gave up a lot of my high school and
Speaker 10: a lot of my fun activities to now raise my siblings.
Speaker 7: And my mom gave.
Speaker 10: Us the best life she could as a result to
Speaker 10: just me helping her out a little bit.
Speaker 2: So, Taisha Brianne, what is your mother's name? Crystal? My
Speaker 2: heart goes to Crystal, give her all my love. She

Speaker 11: graduated college a year ago and moved out here and
Speaker 11: then right now I'm trying.

Speaker 7: I'm good in you.
Speaker 2: I'm doing really well. I'm going to ask you a
Speaker 2: couple of little personal questions and see how it goes here. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's talk about your dating life. What kind of people
Speaker 2: do you date?
Speaker 11: Well, the last time I dated somebody, I had a boyfriend.
Speaker 7: I was eighteen.
Speaker 11: But what I do look in somebody is, first of all,
Speaker 11: is for them to have a good personality. It's okay
Speaker 11: if they're you know, like shy or quiet, but as
Speaker 11: long as you know they have manners are kind. I
Speaker 11: do like to go for ones that are, you know,
Speaker 11: kind of goofy and funny.
Speaker 9: But I like shy guys too. I don't know why.
Speaker 2: They have something to share too.
Speaker 11: I'm not shy, so I'm like, you know, opposite a
Speaker 11: track because I'm a very loud person.
Speaker 9: I'm an extrovert, So I'm like, I like those shy ones.
Speaker 2: Did you mention to us your sign? I know Vika
Speaker 2: would love to know I'm capricorn. Are we doing good here, Vico?
Speaker 2: So what are you looking for? Are you looking for
Speaker 2: a serious relationship?
Speaker 11: Before when I was in college, I really wasn't because
Speaker 11: I wanted to focus on my education. But now that
Speaker 11: I've adulted, sadly, I am looking for something more serious.
Speaker 9: Just because you know, I feel like I'm ready for it.
Speaker 11: I focus on what I wanted to during college, which
Speaker 11: is my education, and now I'm like, well, you know.
Speaker 9: What, it wouldn't be that bad to have somebody to
Speaker 9: go on dates with and hang out with.
Speaker 2: Oh, and you are a twin, grew up in a
Speaker 2: small town. What is the name of the town?
Speaker 9: Alamos?
Speaker 2: Yes, Mimosa. I can only think of that. But yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: so we're curious what kind of twin trouble did you
Speaker 2: guys get into, especially when you started dating, well.
Speaker 9: With the boyfriend thing.
Speaker 11: A lot of people think that we would, you know,
Speaker 11: switch off and go on dates for each other. We
Speaker 11: never really did that because we have different taste I
Speaker 11: would definitely not date the person that she dated, and
Speaker 11: she would probably not date the.
Speaker 9: Guy that I dated.
Speaker 11: But I mean, I guess when we were in middle school,
Speaker 11: if there was guys that would try to like flirt
Speaker 11: with us and my sister didn't want him. For example,
Speaker 11: there's this kid from a different school that was in
Speaker 11: love with my sister.
Speaker 9: He'd go to all our basketball games and watch us play.
Speaker 2: Oh you're a basketball player.
Speaker 9: I mean I in high school, I was. I played
Speaker 9: lacrosse in college.
Speaker 2: Check you out your sister? Are you fraternal or identical?
Speaker 9: Identical?
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, so a picture and you said that
Speaker 2: you did not like the same kind of guy.
Speaker 11: Now no, I mean, if we see somebody that were like,
Speaker 11: oh he's cute, well, Okasha.
Speaker 7: Were like, do you want him er?
Speaker 9: Or do you want me to go after him? We're like, yeah,
Speaker 9: you got in. So then we're like, okay, go go
Speaker 9: up to him.
Speaker 2: And is she with you here in LA Yes?
Speaker 9: She is just just me and her out here.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, the two of you came to l A. Well,
Speaker 2: good luck to the both of you. I tell you, now,
Speaker 2: tell me. You said to our producers that your biggest
Speaker 2: dream is providing for your mom. Tell us a little
Speaker 2: bit about your mom.
Speaker 11: So, my mom, we're Mexican. She's from Chihuahua. She came
Speaker 11: to the US, you know, for me and my sisters,
Speaker 11: and like everyone they're like that is a shia.
Speaker 2: Like she got shoelas I.
Speaker 9: Guess.
Speaker 2: So tell us she was a cultural worker for a
Speaker 2: long time.
Speaker 9: Yeah, she's in agriculture right now. So she drives semi trucks.
Speaker 11: So I'm from We're a very big potato producing agriculture towns,
Speaker 11: So she hauls potatoes from one town to another. Being younger,
Speaker 11: she worked in the fields, like picking carrots, lettuce, potatoes.
Speaker 11: And then as we got older, my mom really loved
Speaker 11: just driving semi so that's what she tried to focus on.
Speaker 9: And her my dad got their own company.
Speaker 11: So they drive, you know, multiple semi trucks to help farmers,
Speaker 11: you know, take their potatoes wherever it is that they
Speaker 11: want to take them.
Speaker 2: That is so amazing what she's doing now. Tell us
Speaker 2: what kind of an influence was she? Kind of dating
Speaker 2: advice did she give you?
Speaker 11: She always gave us advice that you know, like it
Speaker 11: doesn't matter, you know what they look like, what matters
Speaker 11: is how they treat us, and she never wants us
Speaker 11: to go after somebody that's like not good influence or
Speaker 11: is not around the same path that we're wanting to.
Speaker 11: But I think my mom's biggest advice was she would
Speaker 11: always say in Spanish. I think she's like, no kind
Speaker 11: of bad to say.
Speaker 1: I think with that advice, I think that we know
Speaker 1: where that goes.
Speaker 3: I think with that advice, that is the speed date.
