Speaker 3: three parames in contestants before sending one of them off

Speaker 1: Oh my vehicles. Such compliments, You're such a flirt.
Speaker 3: That is correct, always learning as my EMO, and I
Speaker 3: am so excited to meet our main dater this week.
Speaker 3: To me too, Yes, our main dater this week is Scottie.
Speaker 3: Scotty is a recent college grad whose bright personality lends
Speaker 3: itself to his job as an actor, singer and the
Speaker 3: friend you bring around to lighten the mood. Oh he
Speaker 3: sounds incredible when Scotty is not a lasting after the
Speaker 3: resurgence of the former buffet style restaurant Sue Plantation. He's
Speaker 3: a serial dater who's gone in a huge amount of
Speaker 3: dates Scotty is looking for someone to balance out his empathetic,
Speaker 3: high energy. He wants someone independent and opinionated who offers
Speaker 3: companionship and friendship as well. OUDI the how many dates
Speaker 3: have you gone on?
Speaker 1: Okay, let me multiply really quick. How about sixty nine
Speaker 1: six hundred?
Speaker 2: I love the new start with sixty nine.
Speaker 1: Oh. I made the calculations, and damn that's where it draws.
Speaker 2: That's very into that.
Speaker 1: I like that hike count and you medic listen.
Speaker 3: When I have capacity, I'm out there exploring life is
Speaker 3: a tasting many and a boy am I hungry?
Speaker 1: I know that that's pretty good, but I get it. Well,
Speaker 1: should we just meet Scottie?
Speaker 2: I absolutely listen to me, Sweet Scottie Scotty, come on in.
Speaker 4: Hello, what an intro?
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. We are so glad to have you
Speaker 2: here on Dave My Hourlida first.
Speaker 3: So I know that we had a little intro about you,
Speaker 3: but give us a bit more detail, something like I
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe age or astrology sign, what makes you
Speaker 3: take or what makes you laugh?
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm twenty two years old. I'm a virgo, yes
Speaker 5: Gemini moon, Virgo rising. I do know the Big three. Yes,
Speaker 5: I like to have fun, even when it may not
Speaker 5: be the best time too. Sometimes there's like serious situations
Speaker 5: I may not take as seriously as I need to,
Speaker 5: but I just like to, you know, have a joke,
Speaker 5: have a laugh.
Speaker 3: Give us an example, like, what's been a situation that
Speaker 3: you were like, Lol, I should not be laughing, but
Speaker 3: I'm corracking the fuck up.
Speaker 5: I mean, I've never really been in a relationship like
Speaker 5: something very serious, and so to me, friendships are my relationships.
Speaker 4: That's what I value.
Speaker 5: But like if your friend does something that's like a
Speaker 5: little embarrassing and they're like a little embarrassed about it,
Speaker 5: like I like to poke fun at that, or if
Speaker 5: I do that, then they can do it back to me.
Speaker 4: I mean there's.
Speaker 5: Probably more serious situations, but we're just meeting.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I should share.
Speaker 1: If it is a serious situation and you still laugh
Speaker 1: about it, is that your way of not dealing with
Speaker 1: it in that particular moment.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's definitely my way of coping. In college, my
Speaker 5: focus was in comedy, so it's definitely just kind of
Speaker 5: like all throughout my life, I just try to find
Speaker 5: the humor in things and that's just how I live
Speaker 5: my day to day life. But then also it's just
Speaker 5: a good escape to like not focus on the small things.
Speaker 1: Let's say that you are in a date and that
Speaker 1: person says something that at that moment you'd rather answer
Speaker 1: with laughter or a joke. Are you willing to change
Speaker 1: that a little bit in your relationship so that you
Speaker 1: can start communicating better.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 5: I definitely don't like just skip over serious things like
Speaker 5: based on the range of seriousness, you know, So if
Speaker 5: someone's opening up and being vulnerable to me, I'm not
Speaker 5: going to instantly respond to that with laughter.
Speaker 4: So I guess the answer to your question, yes, I
Speaker 4: am willing to change that.
Speaker 2: I am very curious.
Speaker 3: You say you're twenty two and you've gone on a
Speaker 3: lot of dates, and I see here something around Revenge
Speaker 3: of the Gay Boyfriends.
Speaker 2: Tell me about these boyfriends.
Speaker 5: So Revenge of the Gay Boyfriends is a column that
Speaker 5: I write. It's the humor column about dates that I've
Speaker 5: been on. But it's just I claim the term boyfriend loosely.
Speaker 5: It's like anyone that I've like gone on a date
Speaker 5: with or had some sort of weird experience with, whether
Speaker 5: anything sexual or romantic, came out of it, just that
Speaker 5: connection that spark can like label someone as a boyfriend.
Speaker 4: So it's just like a loose term throne.
Speaker 3: About noted note because I'm like, oh, my gos is
Speaker 3: twenty two? How many boyfriends have you collected?
Speaker 4: And my little boyfriend satchel that I keep with me everywhere.
Speaker 2: I go, amazing. What are some of those like gnarly
Speaker 2: stories that you want to share?
Speaker 5: One time I hooked up with this man at his
Speaker 5: apartment and we like finished, you know, the deed, and
Speaker 5: then he was like, Okay, you have to go, and
Speaker 5: I was like wait why, He's like my husband's coming
Speaker 5: home soon. And I was like, oh, I didn't realize
Speaker 5: it was, you know, one of those things. So I left,
Speaker 5: and a few weeks later, I was like messaging this
Speaker 5: other guy on the intermisson grinder dot com and I
Speaker 5: went to go hook up with this guy and it
Speaker 5: turned out to be the other husband.
Speaker 3: Wow. Wow.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize it until I like walked into the
Speaker 5: room and they have this job like wall clock sticker
Speaker 5: that wasn't set like any specific, just like a sticker
Speaker 5: of a clock, and I remember walking in and being like,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, I've been here before.
Speaker 3: That is incredible. This story is amazing. This should be
Speaker 3: done in a telenovella.
Speaker 1: Yes, what is it that Scotti is looking for now?
Speaker 4: I guess stability.
Speaker 5: I've moved like all over the country, so I just
Speaker 5: haven't really had the time to grow and develop myself
Speaker 5: and then also be in a relationship. And now I
Speaker 5: feel like I'm in like a location that I'm going
Speaker 5: to be in for a while. But it's like allowing
Speaker 5: me the time and I have like the sense of
Speaker 5: self to be able to find that stability.
Speaker 1: What is your most precious desire when it comes to
Speaker 1: having a relationship. What is the best thing that you
Speaker 1: can see coming out of that?
Speaker 4: I mean companionship.
Speaker 5: I love to do stuff alone, but I love to
Speaker 5: share experiences with people, and I feel like in the
Speaker 5: greater picture of life, that's what life is all about.
Speaker 5: To me, is like experiencing as much as I can
Speaker 5: and connecting with as many people as I can. Clearly
Speaker 5: with the nine hundred ninety nine dates that I've collected
Speaker 5: under my belt, and so I guess that's what I'm
Speaker 5: looking for is someone who is just as excited to
Speaker 5: like experience the world.
Speaker 1: Probably something new with someone new.
Speaker 3: And that's a quality you look for in a partner. Now,
Speaker 3: what do you bring to the table as a partner.
Speaker 5: I like to think I bring fun, I bring curiosity,
Speaker 5: I bring adventure. I'm really like down for anything. My
Speaker 5: friends often say that if like no one wants to
Speaker 5: do something, like I'm down to do it, which.
Speaker 4: Could be for the better, for the worst.
Speaker 5: Reading to that as you will, but yeah, I just
Speaker 5: think that I'm very easy to go along with.
Speaker 3: You say that you are done for anything. Has there
Speaker 3: been something that you literally were like, ooh, this is
Speaker 3: crossing a boundary and this is a major red flag
Speaker 3: and I do not want to be associated with this ever.
Speaker 4: Again, it's all in moderation. Everything's in moderation.
Speaker 5: And I think like something that I've learned from going
Speaker 5: along with things is that's where I found myself in
Speaker 5: those boundaries, and so a partner who also can recognize
Speaker 5: those boundaries within themselves, you know. And I have learned
Speaker 5: that like by doing too much, you know, your lemon,
Speaker 5: Like that's kind of how I was raised. So I
Speaker 5: know now like obviously there's things I won't do.
Speaker 1: Murder, Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2: For sure, big red flag.
Speaker 3: Yes, Scotty, thank you so very much for all your
Speaker 3: wonderful answers. It's time to bring in the three contestants
Speaker 3: and I need them and see what ALII the sees
Speaker 3: and how she can connect you know that one person

Speaker 4: Yeah, like a little too familiar.
Speaker 2: Amazing Alex, what does glumpy mean?

Speaker 7: in my head about what they're.

Speaker 1: that conversation.

Speaker 6: We'll be back after the break. Welcome back today, my holily.
Speaker 2: The first.
Speaker 3: Congratulations to our two remaining lucky contestants.
Speaker 2: You've made it to.
Speaker 3: The next portion of our show, where a Wilita is
Speaker 3: going to take each of you on a speed date
Speaker 3: a little You're gonna have a one on one just
Speaker 3: you and Lileana. This is an opportunity for her to
Speaker 3: get to know you a little bit more intimately, dive
Speaker 3: deep and ask questions that will help her pick who's
Speaker 3: going to end up with the main dater.
Speaker 2: So we'll start with Daniel.
Speaker 3: I'm going to leave you to it with hourly Dalia
Speaker 3: for our little Cafesito college.
Speaker 1: Are you Latino?
Speaker 8: I am Latino, but I don't know Spanish. You know.
Speaker 8: I grew up in like a neighborhood that didn't accept
Speaker 8: it really.
Speaker 1: So well, now we are accepted everywhere, and that Willita says,
Speaker 1: you can speak Spanish anywhere you go. So tell me
Speaker 1: a little bit about growing up in this family and
Speaker 1: this reasoning that people did not accept the Hispanic language.
Speaker 1: How did that make you feel? And how did you
Speaker 1: approach your adulthood when it came to love and finding
Speaker 1: a partner.
Speaker 8: Ooh, that's tough. I guess for me it was like
Speaker 8: it didn't affect me until my later years, because ultimately
Speaker 8: it affected my parents, you know, them growing up in
Speaker 8: the valley, really in a predominantly white neighborhood in their
Speaker 8: particular era, like it was unacceptable to speak Spanish, you know,
Speaker 8: so they kind of just forgot how to do it
Speaker 8: and then come to my generation. You know, I was
Speaker 8: really never taught unless I was around my grandparents and
Speaker 8: stuff like that. But now I don't know. I guess
Speaker 8: it plays a big part because you know, I feel
Speaker 8: disconnected for my culture. I feel like I'm trying to
Speaker 8: find my place in this world and I'm trying to
Speaker 8: find my community. And I think that's big for a
Speaker 8: lot of people, is you know, community and finding where
Speaker 8: you belong and stuff. As far as love's concerned, like
Speaker 8: and finding love, I don't know. I think I have
Speaker 8: a great personality, so I don't really struggle with love.
Speaker 8: I struggle with trust.
Speaker 1: Are you a jealous person?
Speaker 8: No, I'm not jealous. I just like a lot of attention.
Speaker 8: So if you're giving other people more attention than me,
Speaker 8: then that's an issue. But I'm not jealous. I always say,
Speaker 8: if you know, I can't sit here and tell you, oh,
Speaker 8: you can't look at all the beauty in the world
Speaker 8: because there's so much of it. But if you act
Speaker 8: on what you see, then that's the issue that's different.
Speaker 1: That's a different situation altogether. When was your last relationship.
Speaker 8: Oh, it was like six months ago. I'll say my
Speaker 8: real relationship and it was toxic, you know, it was
Speaker 8: mentally physically abusive. It was a tough time for me
Speaker 8: because I really questioned my own self work. But because
Speaker 8: of it, I came out stronger and that's when I
Speaker 8: started doing in my album and learning how to do
Speaker 8: music and accept that part of me. Because I was
Speaker 8: always too insecure to think that I was worth being
Speaker 8: an actor or a musician or whatever it is, right,
Speaker 8: I never saw that for me. But after the relationship,
Speaker 8: I took the pain and I turned it into power.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. I congratulate you for that. That is exactly
Speaker 1: what you need to do. But tell me how long
Speaker 1: did that relationship last.
Speaker 8: I mean it was about six months as well. But
Speaker 8: ultimately it was my friend before and I've I've known
Speaker 8: him for years, but like he came to stay with me,
Speaker 8: you know, from Chicago as a friend and then we
Speaker 8: kind of well I grew on him first, but like
Speaker 8: he kind of grew on me. So we started a
Speaker 8: date and that's when things kind of got sour.
Speaker 1: Are you still friends?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, kind of. He's just in a different place,
Speaker 8: you know, mentally, like he is the party person, you know,
Speaker 8: the one that really isn't pursuing his dreams and goals.
Speaker 8: And I'm the opposite, you know, I'm stay at home studying,
Speaker 8: and you know, I'm very spontaneous and adventurous, don't get
Speaker 8: me wrong, but my priority isn't shaking my ass.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: And you are ready for a relationship long term.
Speaker 8: I mean, if it's the right person, you know, like,
Speaker 8: definitely I need somebody that could communicate. I think that's
Speaker 8: my biggest thing. Just tell me, tell me how you feel.
Speaker 8: And a lot of people, especially from my community, like
Speaker 8: our communities, they don't know how to communicate how they feel.
Speaker 1: And in this communication, if that person said to you
Speaker 1: as you are starting the relationship that they needed their
Speaker 1: own space once in a while and then you go
Speaker 1: do your life and they do theirs, do you agree
Speaker 1: with that part or is something that that trust is
Speaker 1: gonna have something to do with I mean.
Speaker 8: I feel like I'll struggle with trust. But if you
Speaker 8: find the right person, then they'll help you through struggles. Right.
Speaker 8: So me, I say that all the time, like you
Speaker 8: need personal space.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 8: Sometimes I'm gonna be annoyed. I don't want you over
Speaker 8: here bugging me. I want to just be with my dogs,
Speaker 8: you know, but whatever it is, right, So yeah, I
Speaker 8: believe in like having a lot of personal space because
Speaker 8: then you have that opportunity in those moments to be together.
Speaker 1: And truly enjoy them and appreciate them exactly.
Speaker 2: I love you so much.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to interrupt because we got to get onto
Speaker 3: the next cafe, but that was beautiful.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Danny, thank you.
Speaker 3: Okay, Alex, I'm going to hand you over to Ada
Speaker 3: for a little cafe.
Speaker 9: This is the part I'm most nervous about, absolutely.
Speaker 1: And you should be. Let's talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: your love life. Tell me what that's been about in
Speaker 1: the past couple of years after the pandemic.
Speaker 7: I got out of a relationship just before that, and
Speaker 7: I've been pretty friend focused, I guess.
Speaker 4: I would say, like I was.
Speaker 7: Very nervous when you set up the dating app thing,
Speaker 7: because I just have not been on an app for
Speaker 7: like six years. I just like to meet people in person.
Speaker 7: It's just been very kind of casual, I guess.
Speaker 1: And that relationship ended because.
Speaker 7: We were open and they were seeing other people and
Speaker 7: I was seeing other people, and as you may assume
Speaker 7: with those types of relationships, it got very messy and
Speaker 7: we just couldn't.
Speaker 9: Do it anymore.
Speaker 1: So what is your biggest red flag for a new relationship?
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I.
Speaker 7: Think the reason that things like kind of went south
Speaker 7: was like the communication wasn't there, which, like all types
Speaker 7: of relationships got to have, you know, the good communication,
Speaker 7: but especially in like a poly one, if it's not there,
Speaker 7: you're you're done for. So I think a red flag
Speaker 7: is like if for really like almost no reason, I'm
Speaker 7: already feeling like a wall because I know that I
Speaker 7: might have a problem and start like putting up my
Speaker 7: own walls and then you know, soon we're just both
Speaker 7: behind walls.
Speaker 1: What is it that you're looking forward in a new relationship?
Speaker 7: I like being surprise, So I like people that have
Speaker 7: like a lot of spontaneity. I think I can be
Speaker 7: like a pretty like organized person, and so I'm really
Speaker 7: excited when a partner can get in there and kind
Speaker 7: of shake things up in a fun.
Speaker 1: Waye something that you're also willing to learn and practice
Speaker 1: along the way.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean I like to like go on trips,
Speaker 7: but if I'm like on my own, I'm never going
Speaker 7: to go on one. So like, if I have like
Speaker 7: a partner that's like, I got an idea, we're doing this,
Speaker 7: that's kind of what I need to like, help me.
Speaker 7: And then I also am like, wait now I also
Speaker 7: have ideas.
Speaker 1: Oh that's amazing. Thank you so much for your beautiful answer.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate them.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having an intimate one on
Speaker 3: one go away lead that so she could get to
Speaker 3: know you both much more deeply.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it.
Speaker 2: Time for us to let them know our secret?
Speaker 1: Gone up and waiting forever? No, and tell them, let's
Speaker 1: tell them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well so a little.
Speaker 3: Did you know that our main dater has been listening
Speaker 3: this whole time. He's been lurking in the shadows, looking
Speaker 3: at everything and listening to all. Here's the thing, though,
Speaker 3: Awlita might have an idea of who she likes for him,
Speaker 3: but we're gonna have you step out for a second
Speaker 3: to see we have a unanimous decision. In the meantime,
Speaker 3: Muchisima's gassias to the both of you, besos arasos, thank.
Speaker 2: You so much for playing.
Speaker 3: We'll deliberate and then we'll bring you back in into
Speaker 3: the damn thing. Yes, Scottie, do you want to come
Speaker 3: in and give us your two cents?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought Daniel had like a really beautiful and
Speaker 5: like heartfelt story. I was just very entranced the whole
Speaker 5: time that he was speaking about like his life experiences. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I have like a similar kind of like upbringing with
Speaker 5: identity and like being raised, you know, without my heritage,
Speaker 5: So that really revsonated with me. I think he's very
Speaker 5: upfront with his emotions and how he feels, which is endearing.
Speaker 5: I don't know how I would respond to that, because
Speaker 5: I think sometimes I tend to be a little more
Speaker 5: like harsh with my words, like I can be like
Speaker 5: upfront with how I'm feeling, and he's just so like
Speaker 5: such a sweet fall of sunshine that I, I don't know,
Speaker 5: it intimidates me for someone to be so open.
Speaker 1: Well, didn't you make a comment about how you are
Speaker 1: on that road and that path to opening up and
Speaker 1: learning more? Wouldn't this be a nice opportunity to do so?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: But then I feel like I almost like argued back
Speaker 5: of like he got out of like a bad relationship
Speaker 5: and he's working on this project and himself and he's
Speaker 5: healing through his art and his music, and like, is
Speaker 5: it the time for me to join that journey with him,
Speaker 5: if that makes sense, Like I know how I create
Speaker 5: and how personal that is and like it. I feel
Speaker 5: like the way he was talking is like finding himself
Speaker 5: all over again. He's like someone I would love to
Speaker 5: start a friendship with first and see where things go.
Speaker 1: And what about Alex Alex, I liked.
Speaker 5: The way that he talked about relationships and people. I
Speaker 5: liked that he was more of like logical mind. I
Speaker 5: have like a big past with improv and so it's
Speaker 5: like head, heart, X factor. Those are the three types
Speaker 5: of improvisers, and that's kind of how I've come to
Speaker 5: like categorize people. So Alex is definitely more of a
Speaker 5: head and Daniel's more of a heart. And it's just
Speaker 5: what you lead with. And I liked alex His answers
Speaker 5: for like comedy, where he took it like a step
Speaker 5: further in the reference versus the like first thing that
Speaker 5: came to mind. I liked watching his mind work, and
Speaker 5: I liked how he talked about someone should be open
Speaker 5: when you first meet them, and you shouldn't feel like
Speaker 5: you have a wall or a push you know something
Speaker 5: there And so it's like, who am I from this
Speaker 5: very short time? Am I more like interested? In having
Speaker 5: a conversation with I don't really know with that.
Speaker 3: I think me and I either're gonna have a fun,
Speaker 3: little heated conversation. So you sit tight, thank you for
Speaker 3: your input, and see what's up, because this is going
Speaker 3: to be a tough one. I think both of them
Speaker 3: are fantastic in juxtaposition to Scotty, which clearly has made
Speaker 3: a lot of really beautiful observations on both of them
Speaker 3: and is very much in that same crossing path of
Speaker 3: like this could happen with this person, this could happen
Speaker 3: with this other person, anything could go in terms of
Speaker 3: an experience, I think Alex could be a really interesting
Speaker 3: experience for Scotty in this precise moment and where they're
Speaker 3: all at, they're closer to mindsets than I think.
Speaker 1: After their sense of humor is it comes together closer
Speaker 1: than the death Daniel.
Speaker 2: But we love Daniel.
Speaker 1: I love Daniel. Yeah, let me think about it for
Speaker 1: a minute or two.
Speaker 3: All right, beautiful, Hello, Hello to you, beautiful handsome daddies.
Speaker 3: Just thank you, Thank you to both of you to
Speaker 3: really putting yourselves out there and really being so earnest
Speaker 3: and funny and sweet. So thank you for your energy
Speaker 3: with that Alida take it away.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, you are each amazing, good looking, kind smart. However,
Speaker 1: at the end of the show, we need to think
Speaker 1: a little bit more about the main dater and that
Speaker 1: one person who matches more with the person we're trying
Speaker 1: to put you together with, so that this can be
Speaker 1: the start of a great relationship. Because of that, the
Speaker 1: person who will be dating our main dater is Alex.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Daniel, we love you, love you so fucking much.
Speaker 2: Thank you for your energy, thank you for your earnest ness.
Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you. You guys, have a good day, and
Speaker 8: thank you so much.
Speaker 2: What a sweetheart. Well, Alex, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: And without further ado here, Scotty, do you want to
Speaker 3: turn on your camera and your microphone say hello to Alex.
Speaker 4: Hello, Alex, hie to meet you.
Speaker 3: Yes, Scottie, give us your first impressions on Alex, and
Speaker 3: then I'll move on to Alex.
Speaker 5: I mean, awesome hair, awesome fisherman outfit. I love the
Speaker 5: collection of pencils in the background.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I like how logical you were with all your answers,
Speaker 5: and I at your sense of humor and how you
Speaker 5: kind of took in that information and then did like
Speaker 5: a step further.
Speaker 4: It was awesome. It was great.
Speaker 2: Alex first impression on Scottie.
Speaker 9: Extremely cute, a wonderful smile. Look at this smile.
Speaker 1: I love his smile.
Speaker 7: And very good compliments. And apparently he listens, so that's good.
Speaker 2: Yes, amazing.
Speaker 3: So now we're going to send ar contestins for a
Speaker 3: little virtual day.
Speaker 2: Have fun, y'all.
Speaker 1: Stay true to yourselves, be real, open up your hearts
Speaker 1: and your minds, and stay in touch.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, well, hi, very nice to meet you.
Speaker 4: It's nice to meet you too. Loving this room. Set
Speaker 4: up your room lighting. Yeah, I did a whole thing
Speaker 4: for it. I cleaned up a little bit, but did
Speaker 4: it make the bed? No?
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 7: Well that's because a lot of the stuff that was
Speaker 7: messy over here is on the bed. Oh okay, okay,
Speaker 7: that makes sense. I have to sort it still, And
Speaker 7: then I would. I was just like, oh god, someone's
Speaker 7: gonna notice that. And of course you notice that. H
Speaker 7: how dare you?
Speaker 8: So?

Speaker 5: a few months.
Speaker 9: Are you like from here? From here or where are
Speaker 9: you from.

Speaker 5: two hours. But I've been going to LA pretty frequently
Speaker 5: for like potential work stuff, and then I'm working in
Speaker 5: I fel like everyone in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: It's like entertainment just say it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9: Is this where like I'm supposed to ask you to
Speaker 9: sing something? Oh, don't make me do it?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 5: Me saying no, don't do it. No, I'm so shy.
Speaker 5: I just couldn't.
Speaker 7: Have you been to a concert lately, or what's like
Speaker 7: your dream concert? Or have you you do go to them?
Speaker 9: Ever?
Speaker 5: I love going to concerts. I lived in Boston the
Speaker 5: past three years. Nice, and all the concerts there were
Speaker 5: like ten dollars, ten to fifteen dollars. It's so cheap.
Speaker 5: I saw King Cruel Nice. It was so awesome. I
Speaker 5: went alone, and it was like the most like transcending
Speaker 5: experience one could have.
Speaker 7: I never go to concerts alone, but I feel like
Speaker 7: I should.
Speaker 9: Now you're convincing me.
Speaker 4: It's so scary, but it's so fun.
Speaker 9: The lead singer King Cruel, I did not expect him.
Speaker 5: To like look like that, yes, ginger and like, but
Speaker 5: he's got like that boys.
Speaker 4: Yes, and he's British too.
Speaker 7: They're all British. It's always someone whatever. I'm like, interesting,
Speaker 7: They're like, oh, I'm also British.
Speaker 4: By the way, I'm British.
Speaker 9: They're all tricking me.
Speaker 4: I just got a lot of house shows.
Speaker 5: My friend's cousin was in a band and so we'd
Speaker 5: go and he would perform in like at.
Speaker 9: Least nice Oh yeah, one of those kinds of shows.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, yes, but yeah.
Speaker 5: I do like comedy, I would say, because I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 4: Like, oh fuck, what do you do?
Speaker 5: And I'm like, oh, I write and I act and
Speaker 5: stuff like, but I like to do it with like
Speaker 5: a comedic perspective, like oh so comedian and I'm.

Speaker 5: shows there.

Speaker 7: weird Irish guy or maybe he's Scottish. I always get
Speaker 7: it messed up, but he is as as we discussed
