Speaker 1: Vico. Hi, I had a premonition last night, and it
Speaker 1: told me that today I'm going to make a match
Speaker 1: made in heathing.
Speaker 2: Ok Okay, that's a lot to live up to, but
Speaker 2: let's give.
Speaker 3: It a go.
Speaker 1: Now. I've got my guardian Ane just looking out for
Speaker 1: our friend.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 2: This is date my Hourlita verse for our gorgeous Houri
Speaker 2: dai Le plays.
Speaker 3: Matchmaker for our star Dator and three.
Speaker 2: Lucky contestants looking for some grand motherly approval. I am
Speaker 2: your host, Vico, This joined by our lovely A.
Speaker 3: Are you ready to meet our handsome main Dat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, let's do it. Yes me.
Speaker 2: This week's main Dat might have a little to teach
Speaker 2: us about survival skills.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: When we asked what makes him the happiest, he says bike,
Speaker 2: beer and steak, short and sweet.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just finished a four thousand mile bike ride
Speaker 2: and lives a pretty nomadic lifestyle.
Speaker 3: I think it's time to welcome in Havier.
Speaker 5: Ha yet, come on in Hello? Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Of course, tell us who Javier is, Give us your age,
Speaker 2: what sparks joy, what makes you take? Just tell us
Speaker 2: about your adventures? Anything laid on us you want to
Speaker 2: know it all well.
Speaker 5: I'm a first generation Puerto Rican and the mainland my
Speaker 5: mother unfortunately took us to Ohio, which was really not
Speaker 5: the best place to go. Gotcha, and me and my
Speaker 5: three brothers grew up there, and since a young age,
Speaker 5: my brother's always drode it into me and said, you know,
Speaker 5: your mother's raising us. As soon as you turn eighteen,
Speaker 5: you get out of the house, you go to college,
Speaker 5: and you don't make mom work to support you any more.
Speaker 5: And so I was like, yes, I'm going to go
Speaker 5: to college. I'm going to do this whole thing. And
Speaker 5: I did all that. I got tons of scholarships. I
Speaker 5: ended up traveling and studying in different countries, and then
Speaker 5: traveling I just started to realize that this whole chasing
Speaker 5: a job that you think will bring you lots of
Speaker 5: money and happiness wasn't doing it. Everywhere I went, the
Speaker 5: happiest people, the people who had the most joy, were
Speaker 5: actually living simple lives. I fell in love with that,
Speaker 5: and so traveling by bicycle allowed me to travel to
Speaker 5: communities that people don't really visit and meet and have
Speaker 5: wonderful interactions with people. So I became obsessed with trying
Speaker 5: new foods and exploring new communities. You meet everybody. You're
Speaker 5: forced to meet everybody, so I became very social and
Speaker 5: telling stories with people and being invited into homes all
Speaker 5: the time. So now, after eighteen years of cycling around
Speaker 5: the world, I've damn near done most of it.
Speaker 1: And that's what I was going to ask you, if
Speaker 1: I may interrupt. You've done this around the world.
Speaker 5: I've cycled all of North, Central and South America. Wow,
Speaker 5: most of Europe, North Africa, some of the Middle East,
Speaker 5: Southeast Asia, and Iceland and New Zealand.
Speaker 1: Wow, to name a few.
Speaker 2: You've definitely been everywhere. How does your adventuring affect your
Speaker 2: dating life?
Speaker 5: That's the most difficult thing. Really. You do meet solo
Speaker 5: female travelers, but I tell you, I keep falling for
Speaker 5: the wrong women because these strong, independent women I meet
Speaker 5: on the road, adventurous and really mentally mature to be
Speaker 5: on the road in traveling alone. I like them so much,
Speaker 5: but they don't like men. So I'm like, oh, anyway,
Speaker 5: I could change your mines really, because you're like everything
Speaker 5: I'm looking for. Nope, Nope, sorry, I just don't. I
Speaker 5: don't like men.
Speaker 3: Hot, damn hot, damn.
Speaker 2: So the incredible women just happened to be barking at
Speaker 2: the wrong tree.
Speaker 3: Dang, that's a bummer.
Speaker 1: There's a few of us everywhere else, are Liva, You're
Speaker 1: putting yourself as a contestine here.
Speaker 3: What's going on? My goodness?
Speaker 2: Now, what exactly are you looking for these days?
Speaker 5: I guess those little games that we think traditional men
Speaker 5: and women relationships are, like, I don't like that. I
Speaker 5: want a woman that's strong enough that I am just
Speaker 5: not lifting her up. I'm just kind of standing next
Speaker 5: to her.
Speaker 1: You were raised by women, Yeah, by my grandmother and
Speaker 1: my mother, And how was that up bringing?
Speaker 5: I also went to Catholic school, so there were a
Speaker 5: bunch of nuns in the wish too. So, honestly, because
Speaker 5: I'm the fourth and the youngest boy in a Puerto
Speaker 5: Rican family, my grandmother and mother told me, oh, you're
Speaker 5: going to be the priest. They're like, well, traditionally, if
Speaker 5: a woman has many boys, the youngest boy's got to
Speaker 5: be the priest. So in my head when I was
Speaker 5: a little kid, I'm like, I guess I'm going to
Speaker 5: be a priest. I have that in my head for
Speaker 5: like a good ten years. Yeah, that's kind of the
Speaker 5: family I grew up in you know, crucifixes everywhere. Oh really,
Speaker 5: Santos parties, Yeah, candles everywhere. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If you are with a partner and one of you
Speaker 2: is going through a moment of dysregulation, right, and something
Speaker 2: like jealousy comes up, how do you want to handle that,
Speaker 2: whether it's within yourself or the other person.
Speaker 5: Well, in general, I don't like conflict, and I don't
Speaker 5: like to argue.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: I do like to debate, you know. I'm very opinionated,
Speaker 5: so I could debate about anything, the color of a
Speaker 5: rock or anything. But and in relationships, I walk away,
Speaker 5: take a breather, and then come back and revisit it
Speaker 5: as long as nobody's yelling. I was raised by women
Speaker 5: for a reason because I had a very abusive father.
Speaker 5: So I will not do that. And that's a big,
Speaker 5: big red flag for me. If somebody likes to push
Speaker 5: your buttons to make you aggressive, I get out of
Speaker 5: that picture and I walk away jealousy. I really try
Speaker 5: to avoid people who get jealoused for little things. That's
Speaker 5: a big red flag for me, and I don't like
Speaker 5: being situations like that.
Speaker 3: How do you communicate your feelings?
Speaker 2: How do you communicate your needs your ones around a
Speaker 2: partner because we are not mind readers, all of us,
Speaker 2: you know, amen to that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I try. Communication is always something that needs to
Speaker 5: be improved. Part of the last relationship was because she
Speaker 5: couldn't communicate to me. We had made an agreement. I
Speaker 5: love beer. I'm a big beer drinker. And I said, okay,
Speaker 5: you know what, I love beer, you love wheat. How
Speaker 5: about I give up beer and you give up wheat.
Speaker 5: And we made this agreement. I didn't know that for
Speaker 5: a whole year. She was smoking up the whole time,
Speaker 5: and I was I gave up beer and we'd go
Speaker 5: out and I was like, oh my god, drinking water,
Speaker 5: drinking water. I looked good. I lost a lot of weight.
Speaker 5: But then one morning I found out she was still smoking,
Speaker 5: and that just crushed me. And I'm like, you've been
Speaker 5: smoking every single day the whole time. That relationship ended
Speaker 5: because of that.
Speaker 3: How long were you together before and a half years?
Speaker 3: It's two and a half years. And then because of
Speaker 3: that what drew you to her? Originally?
Speaker 5: Actually I had a friend MATCHMAK for us. So it's
Speaker 5: very difficult for me to meet people because of my lifestyle.
Speaker 5: And you know, I like to travel.
Speaker 3: That was the last one ten years ago. Yeah, copy that.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a long time, bro.
Speaker 5: My friend said, I'm sick and tired of you being single.
Speaker 5: You got to meet my friend and then so it
Speaker 5: was kind of like okay, yeah, sure. She lived in
Speaker 5: Colorado and I was living in San Francisco at that time,
Speaker 5: and so after talking for a while, I said, you
Speaker 5: know what, I'm going to ride my bike to go
Speaker 5: on a date with you. And she was like, I'm
Speaker 5: in Denver, what do you mean. I go, yeah, I'll
Speaker 5: be there in two and a half weeks. So I
Speaker 5: left San Francisco and I rode my bike two and
Speaker 5: a half weeks and I got to Denver and went
Speaker 5: on a date with her, and she was blown away
Speaker 5: that I rode my bike a thousand, two hundred miles
Speaker 5: to see her. And then we started dating. But I
Speaker 5: tried to lay it all out there. I told her
Speaker 5: in the beginning, I'll never give you a ring, but
Speaker 5: I will build you a house. And so that was
Speaker 5: my kind of hint of how I would propose. So
Speaker 5: for my birthday, I flew her back to Colorado and
Speaker 5: I had arranged to go see all these properties and
Speaker 5: we found one hundred and twenty acres and it was beautiful,
Speaker 5: and that real estate agent took us out there and
Speaker 5: there's no house. It was just property and there was
Speaker 5: woods and hills. And I looked there and I said,
Speaker 5: come over here. And I grabbed her and I said,
Speaker 5: could you envision you and I sitting on a porch
Speaker 5: right here on a house that I build, with our
Speaker 5: children running around the yard. And this was her response.
Speaker 1: I guess I was proposed, why didn't you buy those
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty acres and build yourself a home?
Speaker 5: Well, you know there's something about people living in the
Speaker 5: woods and writing manifestos a load of the woods. I
Speaker 5: really want to become one of those guys.
Speaker 1: So it's better if you're own, daid Maya Wilita.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm here in La.
Speaker 5: I'm like you could do the hard work. It maybe
Speaker 5: make things a little bit easier.
Speaker 2: With that said, I think Liliana is definitely ready to
Speaker 2: find that adventurer, that down for anything, woman who can
Speaker 2: keep up with you, or maybe you'll have to keep
Speaker 2: up with her. So let's bring in the contestants, shall we.
Speaker 2: We'll be back after the break. Welcome back today. Malani
Speaker 2: the first and now it's time to bring in our contestants.

Speaker 3: First up, we have Sari.
Speaker 2: Sari is from Australia and has moved around a lot
Speaker 2: all of her life. She credits her upbringing with why
Speaker 2: she is able to be so flexible with change. Her
Speaker 2: red flags are people who don't listen and are too
Speaker 2: self involved. Excellent red flags. She's a virgo, but she
Speaker 2: says don't hate her for ed. She has a lot
Speaker 2: of variety in her charge. Welcome Shari, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anytime, anytime.
Speaker 1: Who's next?
Speaker 4: Mevi go.
Speaker 3: Next, we have Eileen.
Speaker 2: Eileen is a pattern maker and has a strong passion
Speaker 2: for sustainable fashion. She has three passports oh and has
Speaker 2: said if she wasn't working at nine to five, she
Speaker 2: would move to a new place.
Speaker 3: Every three months. Hello Eileen. Hi, And last, but.
Speaker 2: Not least, we have Shaunaka. Shannika's friends would say she
Speaker 2: is either one hundred year old grandmother.
Speaker 3: Or she is crazy and wild. She prides herself on.
Speaker 2: Being a loyal friend and is a bit of a footy,
Speaker 2: always looking to.
Speaker 3: Try a new restaurant. Meet Shaannaka.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hi, Hello, my beautiful Nia. That's I'm really excited
Speaker 1: that you're all here today. So let's get playing.
Speaker 2: Eh, Yes, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3: So let's break the ice with you three.
Speaker 2: We are going to ask some rapid fire Russians.
Speaker 3: Leanna wanting the first one.
Speaker 1: Yes, let's do this now here we go, Ladies, pay attention.
Speaker 1: What three things would you bring with you to a
Speaker 1: deserted island? M m mmm interesting, Shanika.
Speaker 7: One of those global phones get my call from anywhere.
Speaker 7: Something to start fire with so that I can cook
Speaker 7: some food while i'm there, And something a purify water.
Speaker 2: Well, nice, excellent, Chari. What are your objects?
Speaker 8: So I am a bit of a forest fairy, so
Speaker 8: I think i'd fare pretty well on an island by myself.
Speaker 8: And I often daydream about escaping society and living in
Speaker 8: the jungle, so this is a dream to me. That's
Speaker 8: something that I would miss. There would be writing. I
Speaker 8: love writing, so i'd want, you know, a never ending
Speaker 8: pen and paper. And I guess i'd bring a hat
Speaker 8: because I tend to have a son quota. I get
Speaker 8: over the sun at certain times. Not on an island,
Speaker 8: I think there'd be plenty of it.
Speaker 2: Very very nice, very interesting, Eleen, what are your three items.
Speaker 6: I would definitely do a good pair of shoes, probably
Speaker 6: a book to read, big one, and plenty of snacks.
Speaker 3: Plenty of snacks, very very nice. All right, my time
Speaker 3: for a rabbit.
Speaker 1: Good question.
Speaker 2: What is your favorite cheap thrill, for instance a crown
Speaker 2: trap from Taco Bell? And what is your favorite thing
Speaker 2: to splurge on, for instance a deep tissue massage. I
Speaker 2: see shore you being like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, do
Speaker 2: you want to answer first?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I will absolutely sledge on a message, and I consider
Speaker 8: it a need, It's a necessity in life. And what's
Speaker 8: a chape throw?
Speaker 5: Wait?
Speaker 8: My chape throw is I don't pay for it, but
Speaker 8: I will take fruit off the trees. I say when
Speaker 8: I go.
Speaker 2: Walking, incredible, true fairy, a true girl Shaunago, What are yours?
Speaker 7: A cheap thrill is just a good girl's night, Bring
Speaker 7: a cheap bottle of wine, bring some snacks, and that's
Speaker 7: like an easy six of good times and you have
Speaker 7: to break the bank.
Speaker 1: Splurging is travel.
Speaker 7: I think that there's so much of the world to see,
Speaker 7: and there's so many places to go, and I think
Speaker 7: it's really important to take that time and explore the places.
Speaker 3: Eileen, what are yours cheap thrill?
Speaker 4: I would probably just say a spontaneous hike.
Speaker 6: With so much opportunity here in La to you know,
Speaker 6: either do a day trip, go really close, or even
Speaker 6: just drive a little outside the city. So that's pretty
Speaker 6: easy as far as a splurge. I often take Shaunaka's
Speaker 6: answer to it's always travel.
Speaker 4: That's always number one.
Speaker 3: Hell's yeah, hellsy, yeah.
Speaker 1: Fun, Helena, what you got, I'm going there with these ladies. Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. If you were to have dinner with
Speaker 1: anyone dead or alive, who would that be?
Speaker 3: And I see a lot of wonderful reactions with this.
Speaker 1: When do you think I lean?
Speaker 6: My answer is my grandpa, who isn't with us anymore,
Speaker 6: but I miss him. And uh yeah, always really good conversation,
Speaker 6: really mind enhancing.
Speaker 1: So beautiful answer, Shania.
Speaker 7: I'll get emotional too. My dad passed in twenty twelve,
Speaker 7: so it'll be that I'm about to just like get
Speaker 7: dinner with them again and catch up on the past.
Speaker 7: So yeah, that would be that would be mine.
Speaker 8: Sure, I'm sorry to both of you. I've experienced a
Speaker 8: lot of death in my life, so I'd feel wrong
Speaker 8: just choosing one of them. So I'm going to go
Speaker 8: with a world leader, like a life world leader, because
Speaker 8: I would just love to know what is going through
Speaker 8: all of your heads, you know, like I would just
Speaker 8: be able to I would just really like to question
Speaker 8: them and maybe influence them a.
Speaker 1: Little, you know, that would be good.
Speaker 3: Do you have any world leader that comes to mind?
Speaker 8: Give me any of them? I mean, there's too many
Speaker 8: to name. Really.
Speaker 2: I feel that they are many world leaders who need
Speaker 2: a little chunk land.
Speaker 1: They all need a little chang lad talking about.
Speaker 3: All right, I had last one.
Speaker 2: Would you rather live in a world without music or
Speaker 2: one without internet?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: Shanny, go what is yours?
Speaker 8: This is so hard?
Speaker 7: Is there music on the internet? Like I thought Spotify?
Speaker 2: I see you trying to be like, let me just
Speaker 2: like do it one. Let me break the system here.
Speaker 7: I'm going to do that because music is so important
Speaker 7: to mean, I love music. I love going to shows.
Speaker 7: That's like a big thing for me. But I would
Speaker 7: not be able to get anywhere without the Internet. It's
Speaker 7: my smartphone is my map. It's like I always lost.
Speaker 7: So I'm like I need that. I need to stay
Speaker 7: connected with people. So I'd have to say no music.
Speaker 7: I'd have to pick the Internet.
Speaker 3: Okay, very nice, Sure, what's yours?
Speaker 8: Fatally a world? Good night Internet. I mean I've day
Speaker 8: dreamed about living in the forest, so yeah, I just
Speaker 8: I love music and I think it's such a an
Speaker 8: essential part of souls, you know. So yeah, that was
Speaker 8: an easy choice for Meleen, Eileen.
Speaker 3: What's yours?
Speaker 6: I couldn't live in a world without It's a tough one,
Speaker 6: but without internet, because we have so much access to information. Also,
Speaker 6: I am by myself here in La, so that's how
Speaker 6: I access my family most of the time.
Speaker 4: So that would just be that alone is the sole reason.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you all for your ladies rapid fire responses.
Speaker 3: Dare I say they were fire?
Speaker 2: Anyway, It's time to play another game now before I
Speaker 2: will lead that decides who she wants to take on
Speaker 2: a second date. This game is going to be a
Speaker 2: lot by see, we are going to be looking.
Speaker 3: For your hot takes. Maybe it'll win, I will eat
Speaker 3: this heart, or maybe it'll be that hill you would
Speaker 3: die on.
Speaker 1: Give us an example.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's my hot takee It's okay to wear socks
Speaker 2: while you're having sex.
Speaker 4: I read like I mean that it's better.
Speaker 3: It definitely is better.
Speaker 2: Because it keeps your feet warm and it makes everything
Speaker 2: feel warmer and hell's with better orgasms.
Speaker 3: Anyway, that's my hot.
Speaker 1: Take, My hot takes, hotake sex anyway it comes. Which
Speaker 1: time is that happening?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 1: Oh the calendar?
Speaker 2: Well there you go, Shau, I got tell us what
Speaker 2: your hotache is?
Speaker 7: Okay, so I will say bloody Mary's at night, order
Speaker 7: at the bar at night, like what's wrong with you?
Speaker 7: And so I think that's kind of a weird thing
Speaker 7: that people are like not the right time the day.
Speaker 3: To drink that it's just like like a spa show
Speaker 3: but with a little vodka.
Speaker 1: I got you salad in a glass.
Speaker 3: Show you what's your hotache?
Speaker 8: I think you should just let spiders live in your house.
Speaker 8: Does that count.
Speaker 2: As they save my little plant babies from all these
Speaker 2: little mosquitos and shit and like and flies? So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm there with you, Eileen. What's your heart take?
Speaker 6: I think we should just skip the election this year because.
Speaker 4: There's no good answer anyway.
Speaker 2: Here here we're all clapping, We're all does Brett Lena,
Speaker 2: I feel like you.
Speaker 3: Have another heart take on your chest.
Speaker 1: Well, something we like talking about on the show is
Speaker 1: astrology and we both put a lot of faith in
Speaker 1: the stars, but not everyone does, so Hot Tache, is
Speaker 1: astrology really that helpful in the German and relationship compatibility? Shari?
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 8: I don't buy into it? I mean I know a
Speaker 8: lot about it for someone who doesn't buy into it.
Speaker 8: And when I had my chart read by a friend,
Speaker 8: I was kind of blown away by how much was
Speaker 8: in my chart that was relevant to my life. It
Speaker 8: was like, show me where it says that I don't
Speaker 8: believe you. So I guess I'm open, but skeptical.
Speaker 3: In true virgo form trying to go out. Are your
Speaker 3: thoughts on that?
Speaker 8: Okay, you're not going to like my answer.
Speaker 3: You never know.
Speaker 7: I don't buy into astrology. I think it excuses bad behavior,
Speaker 7: especially can be from an aries, because I don't feel
Speaker 7: like I fit in aries at all. So because I
Speaker 7: don't feel like I fit it, I think a lot
Speaker 7: of people use it as an excuse like, oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 7: I like acted that way and it was hot headed
Speaker 7: and crazy. It's because I'm an Aries.
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, girl, you're just a bit like.
Speaker 7: It's not because you're astrology sign, like you're just not
Speaker 7: a nice person. So don't blame it on like marking
Speaker 7: retrograde or the plans are misaligned.
Speaker 1: No, so it doesn't matter when you were born. You
Speaker 1: are a Taurus.
Speaker 3: Oh, I love that. I love that answer. That's fucking great, Eileen,
Speaker 3: what are your thoughts?
Speaker 6: I agree with the other two ladies. When I do
Speaker 6: kind of read my chart, I kind of agree with
Speaker 6: certain things. But I also can't, you know, determine decisions
Speaker 6: in my life based on what I'm reading.
Speaker 4: I'd rather go off of like my emotions and what
Speaker 4: I think is right for me.
Speaker 6: So I think there's something there obviously is pretty old
Speaker 6: and in play system, but it's not for me.
Speaker 3: Here here, here, here. I love that.
Speaker 1: That's great, Vico, it is your opinion. I knew you
Speaker 1: were going to have to go there.
Speaker 2: I do enjoy substantially astrology, but I don't take just
Speaker 2: my son's sign as a telltale. I'm a Libra, but
Speaker 2: I'm not just a Libra. There's other elements in me
Speaker 2: that like play with each other. I have my sad rising,
Speaker 2: my scorpio moon, my virgo venus. Everything communicates to each
Speaker 2: other and encompasses like who I am as a person.
Speaker 3: But again, I similarly do.
Speaker 2: Agree that people that are always using these things as
Speaker 2: a crutch to excuse their own behavior, that's never okay.
Speaker 2: So like, I very much sympathize with these things, and
Speaker 2: I also love to just, you know, lean a little bit.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, I'm a flirt because I'm a libra,
Speaker 2: but I'm just.
Speaker 1: A fuck a great description of a libra. And well,
Speaker 1: I think we've come to that point.
Speaker 3: This part is always hard, but thankfully, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It Isa's duty to send one of these cuts down
Speaker 2: the road.
Speaker 1: You are each so adorable. However, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, Alita has to look at what our main
Speaker 1: data is interested in and which of the three of you,
Speaker 1: which two of the three of you will be a
Speaker 1: little more compatible. And we still have a lot more
Speaker 1: questions to ask before the end of today's show. Anyway,
Speaker 1: and for that reason alone, the one person that will
Speaker 1: be leaving us today is Shanic.
Speaker 2: My goodness, thank you, think you, think you, thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you so much. We have such a wonderful energy.
Speaker 2: We really appreciate you.
Speaker 7: Than bye so much.
Speaker 3: We'll be back after the break. Welcome back today, my
Speaker 3: holy the first.
Speaker 2: Well, here we are, the two of you now are
Speaker 2: going to have a nice little one on one a
Speaker 2: little so all right, Suri, welcome to.
Speaker 3: Take it away.
Speaker 1: Hi, my love, how are you today?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 8: Good?
Speaker 4: Thanks?
Speaker 8: This is fun. How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing good, so glad to see you. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask you a couple of questions. Just open up your
Speaker 1: heart in your mind and tell me how it is. Okay,
Speaker 1: what kind of people do you usually date?
Speaker 8: I usually date people who don't have homes. It's not intentional,
Speaker 8: but I've dated a guy who lived in his van,
Speaker 8: a guy who lived in his car, another guy who
Speaker 8: was traveling well, didn't have a heart like it just
Speaker 8: seems to be a pattern.
Speaker 1: Okay, And that didn't bother you? No, why? What is
Speaker 1: the reason?
Speaker 8: Money can change in a heartbeat? So it's not the
Speaker 8: reason that I would be going for someone. And it was,
Speaker 8: I guess because I'm such a free spirited person myself.
Speaker 8: I understood the hippie lifestyle and the nomad lifestyle.
Speaker 1: Tell me about your cooking expertise.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I love to cook. I enjoy it a lot.
Speaker 8: I will say, though, that I don't cook meat because
Speaker 8: I don't eat meat. So that can be a deal
Speaker 8: breakup for some people.
Speaker 1: But Let's say that you are with your partner at
Speaker 1: home and you're making dinner and he would like to
Speaker 1: have a steak. It's okay if he makes it himself.
Speaker 8: He has to do it himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right. So when was your last romantic
Speaker 1: experience and how long was it it ended?
Speaker 8: I'd say two years ago. We were very incompatible and
Speaker 8: so it was a bit of a painful breakup. It's
Speaker 8: funny because I'm such an easy going, will accept everyone
Speaker 8: and anyone kind of person. I have so many friends
Speaker 8: that I maybe disagree with on very fundamental things, also
Speaker 8: some that I agree with. But I've never ever thought
Speaker 8: when it comes to relationships and maybe I should take
Speaker 8: a different approach. It's only since that relationship that I've realized, oh,
Speaker 8: maybe certain things do need to be the same. You
Speaker 8: do need to look for things that are compatible or
Speaker 8: it's just never going to work.
Speaker 1: What are you specifically looking for in a man?
Speaker 8: I want someone who we can make each other laugh.
Speaker 8: That's really important to me. I want honesty, and I
Speaker 8: want someone who is, you know, compassionate and kind and empathetic.
Speaker 1: Are you willing to go on adventures, travel, do all
Speaker 1: kinds of things?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I love adventures. I love travel. I am speaking
Speaker 8: of adventures like I've done stunt school. I learnt a
Speaker 8: paraglide solo. I love hiking. I've jumped off clifts into oceans.
Speaker 8: My mother and I a deal when I was young
Speaker 8: that I had to stop telling her before the fact.
Speaker 8: I had to tell her after I was safe, so
Speaker 8: that she didn't have to worry.
Speaker 1: That is so sweet. Well, thank you, Shari. That's really
Speaker 1: sweet of you. We enjoy your answers and let's see
Speaker 1: what happens.
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you, SCHERI, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: Fantastic a Walita, take it away with your gofen.
Speaker 1: How are you, my love?
Speaker 3: I'm great?
Speaker 4: How are you, a Belita?
Speaker 1: I am doing great. This is getting tougher by the second.
Speaker 1: So just open up your heart in your mind and
Speaker 1: be honest about your answers and let's see where all
Speaker 1: this goes. Okay, now you were you were born in Germany.
Speaker 4: I was born in Germany.
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did you live there for any period of time? Yes?
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 6: My mom's German, my dad's Canadian Americans. I kind of
Speaker 6: grew up with all three. We moved around a lot
Speaker 6: as a kid, so I lived on three different continents
Speaker 6: before I was like three, so yeah, but I grew
Speaker 6: up in Germany.
Speaker 4: That's my hometown.
Speaker 6: Most of my you know, my mom's side of the
Speaker 6: family is all there, but that's kind of what I
Speaker 6: consider my hometown is in Germany.
Speaker 4: So I speak fluent German.
Speaker 1: Have you ever dated a German Man?
Speaker 6: I have, but it's been a while. I've been here
Speaker 6: for thirteen years, so okay.
Speaker 1: So what is it that you're looking for in a relationship.
Speaker 6: I think just a partner, like an equal, someone who
Speaker 6: likes to have fun. I definitely do love my downtime,
Speaker 6: but I also really like to make the most out
Speaker 6: of every day. So I really would like a partner
Speaker 6: who kind of feels the same way. You know, you
Speaker 6: wake up in the more it's like what can we
Speaker 6: do today or how can we make the most of
Speaker 6: our time?
Speaker 1: Okay, so you are ready for a relationship, absolutely? What
Speaker 1: is love to you?
Speaker 6: I'm kind of rational when it comes to love. I
Speaker 6: try to be a little bit more down to her,
Speaker 6: so you know, I'm not the kind of person who
Speaker 6: gets swept away.
Speaker 1: Give me two qualities you're looking for in a man, a.
Speaker 6: Good sense of humor and someone who can be honest.
Speaker 1: That's very important, isn't it. Well, thank you so much, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: it's very nice answers. And let's see where we go
Speaker 1: from here, Okay, perfect I wanted to Yeah.
Speaker 3: Is it time for us to let them know our secret?
Speaker 1: God, I've been waiting forever. I know, I know them,
Speaker 1: let's tell them.
Speaker 2: Well, so a little did you know that our main
Speaker 2: data has been listening this whole time. He's been lurking
Speaker 2: in their shadows, looking at everything and listening to all.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, though, Alita might.
Speaker 2: Have an idea of who she likes for him, but
Speaker 2: we're gonna have you step out for a second to
Speaker 2: see we have.
Speaker 3: A unanimous decision.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, muchisimas grasias to the both of you, Bess, truly,
Speaker 2: it's been so much fun. Thank you so much for playing.
Speaker 2: We'll deliberate and then we'll bring you back in into
Speaker 2: the damn thing. Yes havit, come on in for a
Speaker 2: hot second. And first impressions about these two now that
Speaker 2: we have gotten to know them a little bit more.
Speaker 5: Shari has that nomad lifestyle she mentioned certain key words.
Speaker 5: She is really free flowing and is kind of creative.
Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing is this vegan thing. I
Speaker 5: actually do hunt and on the island I would definitely
Speaker 5: be grabbing animals.
Speaker 1: But she's willing to let you cook your own meat.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's true.
Speaker 1: And since you are very much in the strong belief
Speaker 1: that you each stand on your own and you share
Speaker 1: whatever lifestyle you each have, well then good we can
Speaker 1: do that, right Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I did it brings before Eileen. I
Speaker 5: actually really like Germany. I go to Germany often for
Speaker 5: the beer festivals. That's cool, that's interesting, And that she
Speaker 5: has different passports that's actually really nice. If I'm looking
Speaker 5: forward to like children and a family, Canada and Germany
Speaker 5: those are great places to live. Actually, those are the
Speaker 5: key things I've jotted down.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, thank you.
Speaker 2: Me and I would are going to process everything that's happened,
Speaker 2: and we're going to bring them both and make a choice.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, let you know, soon.
Speaker 3: Will leave that talk to me.
Speaker 1: My opinion would be, what is yours?
Speaker 3: It's a tough one. It's a tough one.
Speaker 2: I feel like I know that he says he wants
Speaker 2: someone has independent, someone that's like in doing their own
Speaker 2: and all that does. But there's always that like mentioned of,
Speaker 2: like I want to build a home, right. I think
Speaker 2: Eileen has a bit more of that, right, But she's
Speaker 2: also independent, is doing her own thing. So I think
Speaker 2: that Shari is wonderful, is amazing. I do think that
Speaker 2: like they're both so independent that they're just gonna not really.
Speaker 1: Be independent of each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be fun for a couple of trips
Speaker 2: here and there, absolutely, but then when it comes to
Speaker 2: like building home and building house, I think that's not
Speaker 2: something that might. Yeah, but I think they're both great
Speaker 2: truly dumb for either.
Speaker 1: Oh so let me think about it for another thirty seconds.
Speaker 3: Sounds good.
Speaker 1: Let's do that.
Speaker 3: Okay, So the jury has a verdict.
Speaker 2: Thank you both so much for your wonderful answers, for
Speaker 2: being so candid and earnest and really putting it out there.
Speaker 1: That listen, ladies, you are both amazing, fantastic, out of
Speaker 1: this world a little different. But in this case, I
Speaker 1: needed to look at what our main data wants, needs
Speaker 1: and is looking forward to, and for that reason alone,
