00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm Emilia on this podcast. I'm taking you on a search,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: a search for love. Emmy hard working Latina seeks cool,

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: down to earth guy swipe swipe slide. I think just

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: watching these TV shows with the perfect families, that's what

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to be when I grew up, that traditional

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Mexican housewife. It's hard out there for a girl to

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: find Mr Right. I have to meet a lot of

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: Mr Wrong's. He'd invite me over to have dinner with

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: his family. I knew he didn't tell them that it

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: was transgender, and I didn't know if they knew or not.

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: Adam said, if this question ever comes up, just denyed DNA.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: Dating as a trans woman can be complicated, But there

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: were other reasons. I felt like I couldn't always beat myself.

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: And he's asking me things about my family, like oh,

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, what are your parents do? And I'm like,

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: oh shit, shame right, because my mom's in prison. So

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: I right away started with a lie. It was like

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: a hurricane how to hit the house. George were open,

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: her safe was gone, shoes were thrown on the floor.

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,680

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: was arrested for working with the Mexican drug cartel. I

22
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: tried to cast myself as the perfect leading lady, but

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: that perfect version of me is kind of a figment

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: of my imagination. This is Crumbs, my love story. It's

25
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: a show about the things we set up for and

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: the bits of ourselves that make us who we are.
