<v Speaker 1>I just took them all at the same time.

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, but as long as they didn't know about

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 3>each other.

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 5>I was.

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I was young and foolish, I was gonna say.

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh my goodness, I'm the complete opposite.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to choose, and everybody knows, yes, actually

<v Speaker 1>The more the merrier. But here's the thing. For Maria.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Monogamy is the historical preference, but they say they can

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe be convinced to try more openness. And it has

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>been around five years since they've had a serious relationship,

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 2>when they were deep into what they call one of

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:58.040

<v Speaker 2>understand why you're just off the charts on the apps.

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to know Maria Maria.

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm interested on your beautiful name. Where did that come from?

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, there's a few stories behind it, but mostly my

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 5>grandmother who pretty much raised me when I was little.

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.239
<v Speaker 5>Her name is Maria, and she passed, So this is

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 5>a name that I honor her in. You know, I'm

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 5>born Christopher, and my chosen name now that I go

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 5>through when I perform and do things like that, is Maria.

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.119
<v Speaker 7>Maria then Cartier.

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, were you close to you're Alida?

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, yes, we were so close. When I

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 5>was little, my mom was going through the academy.

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 7>She's an officer, but she was an officer.

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 5>She retired and so I was pretty much raised with

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 5>my grandma, so I spent most of my time with her.

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 5>So when she passed, I was about like maybe seven,

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 5>So I tooked that pretty hard because I was always

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 5>being with her and I was attached with her literally

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 5>by the hip. If you saw her, you saw me.

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 5>My mom says, I get my fire from her.

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I love that. I love that you said that. It's

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>been five years since your last like big, big love right, Yes,

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>a long time?

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>How long with did that.

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 5>Relationship last That was a four year relationship. We lived

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 5>together and we were walking through the adoption process as well.

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 5>But it was the huge, huge thing when it was

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 5>the decision to separate and go our separate ways. But

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 5>me and him have an amazing friendship and relationships still.

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>That's beautiful.

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 2>What are the things that you've learned from that past relationship?

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 5>I learned how much I really do love and a door,

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 5>the romance that comes with the everyday stuff like you know,

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 5>you get home and those little small things that your

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 5>partner does for you that goes a long way, and

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 5>how much I like that.

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 7>And what I learned that I don't want.

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:55.280
<v Speaker 5>I need someone who is secure and super supportive.

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 7>I get a lot of attention in rooms that I am.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 7>I'm a performer, I'm boisterous, loud.

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 5>You know, there's a lot of eyes on me, and

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 5>I need someone secure in that.

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 7>You know, Okay, people are talking to her, taking pictures,

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 7>hugging this.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 5>App but you know I know she's mine, or I

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 5>know we're together, or we go home together.

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 7>Someone who's secure and confident in that way.

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 5>And then another thing I learned, the big takeaway from

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 5>that was how important like having financial discussions are in

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.679
<v Speaker 5>adult dating. You know, I know taboo. That's not something

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 5>you want to talk about on the first date.

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 3>But it is second when it's Okay, you're new to

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 3>La correct.

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 7>Yes, yes, I've been here six months.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Oh my god, welcome to La La Land.

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Well what is it that you find different about La

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 3>in the dating life?

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.479
<v Speaker 5>I don't know why, but I just feel like people

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 5>are a lot more accepting here and embracing. And it's

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.599
<v Speaker 5>weird to say that because as a New Yorker it's

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 5>like the melting pot everything goes. But like just from

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 5>an identity perspective, because I do consider myself gens are

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 5>not unconforming and I used all pronouns, and you know,

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 5>it's not every day that I'm fem presenting. So I

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 5>have my days where I'm maybe more masculine presenting or

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 5>things like that. And so I'm just finding that here

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 5>I don't have to explain so much what it is.

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 5>People are just like go with the flow, whereas I

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 5>felt in New York and in my past, my whole life,

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm constantly having to explain why I woke up with

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 5>a beard tomorrow and why last night, you know, I

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 5>was at the Beyonce the Council looking glamorous.

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, in the name of all the LA listeners, thank

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 3>you very much. That is something very nice to be

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 3>said about our LA peeps. I want to know a

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 3>little bit more fun facts about your life. How did

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 3>you get into the business that you are in. What

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 3>made you who you are?

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 5>I was very much a person who was on the

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.799
<v Speaker 5>straight and narrow. I went to college in three years,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 5>I got my degree and went straight into work through

0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 5>my internship and just was working adult like corporate retail

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.719
<v Speaker 5>life and just straight at it. So before twenty five

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 5>years old, I was just living this life of like

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 5>not a twenty year old person, you know what I mean.

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 5>Like I had the four oh one K and I

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 5>had a retirement plan going and a salary and this

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 5>and that, and it was just like you're painted the

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 5>picture that that's the dream and that's what you're supposed

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 5>to go after. But then you realize in your early

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 5>twenties and you haven't done none of the early twenty shit,

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean, It's like, what is going on?

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 5>So I'm living this straight in our life and I

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 5>think I was just sitting at my desk one day

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 5>realizing this is not what I want to be doing.

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm a creative. I went to art school, so it's

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 5>like I want to be doing my thing. And the

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 5>only thing that was like a creative outlet for me

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 5>was doing drag and performing and creating and acting and

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 5>doing things like that. So I just started kind of

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 5>just jumping in and pursuing it. And I had been

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 5>doing drags since like twenty eleven or something like that.

0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 5>I started in college, so I knew that that was

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 5>a passion for me, but it was like something that

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.679
<v Speaker 5>I buried deep, and I never looked at it as

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 5>like something that could be a profession or make me

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 5>money or pay the bills. And now I'm happy because

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 5>Maria pays the bill, and I say, oh my god,

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 5>how cool. I never thought that I could just work

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 5>for myself and make money off of my own personality

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 5>and who I am and my talents. I was so

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 5>straight and narrow. You got to go work somewhere fifty

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 5>hours a week, now, right.

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I was going to mention something in regards to that.

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 3>There was nothing wrong with that either.

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, nothing wrong because.

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 3>You knew exactly where you were going. You were preparing

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.959
<v Speaker 3>yourself and it's very true that no matter how young

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 3>we are, we need to be prepared for the day

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 3>in which you are a Wilita's age, because hell, life

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 3>moves quick.

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 5>Amen, And it set me up to understand money, understand bills,

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 5>understand all of that.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.959
<v Speaker 3>And more power to you in the fact that you

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 3>return to your creative world and are doing exactly what

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 3>you love the right way.

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 1>But I want to ask you.

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 3>You say that you lost your Awlita when you were young,

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 3>but she's always around you. So what would she think

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 3>of your life right now? And what would she tell

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 3>a dating possibility about what makes you such a great catch?

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 7>That's so interesting. I think she will be blown away

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 7>by who I became. She was a very big queer advocate.

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 5>She used to work and cook food at like the

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 5>LGBT centers.

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 7>And I would go with her and things like that.

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.079
<v Speaker 5>She would help a lot of like people battling HIV

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 5>and AIDS and things like that. So that was something

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 5>she was passionate about that I didn't realize until an

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 5>adult that that's what she was doing because I witnessed

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 5>all of this and her doing it as a kid,

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 5>and so I realized.

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 7>I think she would just be.

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 5>So proud and astonished by just why I become but

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 5>the advice that maybe she would give me.

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 3>He planted a seed because I Willitas know they really do.

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 3>You are so beautiful inside and out. I love you.

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.599
<v Speaker 3>You're gorgeous, gorgeous.

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 2>We will definitely get you off the apps and on

0:09:59.320 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a date.

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>This, this is the goal. We are so happening. You

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 1>have to know it's happening.

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm happy to be at a place where I can

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 5>stay out loud. I am welcoming romance into my life.

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh I love that. I love that.

<v Speaker 8>Well, here we go.

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 10>Recently, in the last months, I went on a blind

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 10>date and everything was going well until the big question

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.320
<v Speaker 10>dropped is like, what's your Instagram?

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 8>So you give him the Instagram and he gives.

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 10>Me his and we finally have somebody in comment, you know,

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 10>a friend in comment? And he goes, oh, how do

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 10>you know this guy? And I was like, oh, we

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 10>kind of like hooked up a while back, you know.

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 10>And he was going like.

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 8>Oh, well, how long ago? And I was like, I

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.840
<v Speaker 8>don't know, like a year or so ago. And I

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 8>was like, why how do you know him?

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.079
<v Speaker 10>He's like, well, that's my ex boyfriend and we were

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 10>together at that time.

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, alrighty, next date. So what was your answer to that?

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>How did you respond?

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I was kind of like obviously shocked.

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 10>So I just said, well, I guess practically we've slept

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 10>together already.

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>And his response, I mean he thought it was funny.

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 3>He thought it was funny.

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh that was cool.

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 8>But again there was not a second date after that.

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I can see why. So what are your red

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 3>flags when it comes to finding someone special? And what

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 3>are you looking for a committed relationship?

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>You're looking for love.

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 8>I'm looking for love, the love of my life.

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 10>You know, I've always known since I was a child

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 10>that there was one person there for me. So it's

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 10>kind of like when I go on dates when you realize, like, Okay,

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 10>they're nice, they're great, but do you really feel that

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 10>like spark that you found your other half? And if

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 10>I don't, I can't really pursue that because you know,

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 10>it's kind of like you're lying to yourself. So red

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 10>flags for me, I guess for people who are serial daters,

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 10>people who date one after another after another after another,

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 10>trying to find something.

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 8>Maybe they don't know what they're looking for.

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 3>You made me cry, Yeah, because you are looking for

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 3>love and aren't well.

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 1>But that's where you're here.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 3>So Awalita can help you now, in looking for that

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 3>special someone in your life. What is the one quality

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 3>that you have to have in that relationship?

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 1>What is the number one?

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 10>They have to be in love with themselves in a sense,

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 10>they have to be secure with themselves, but they also

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 10>have to live life as an adventure. I'm not very

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 10>into like being a cookie cutter by the book. Let's

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 10>do this, Let's be here, and then let's sit around

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 10>and retire together for the rest of our life. I

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 10>want to like live life as a fun adventure with

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 10>that other person.

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 3>And sit on that rocking chair out in the porch

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 3>and just forget about everything else.

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:39.280

<v Speaker 4>when it comes to cooking, I always hold food to

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 4>like such a high expectation, and so every time I

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 4>go to a Michelin Star restaurant, I'm going to be

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.080

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 4>this could have been done.

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Different, not just the food, but the whole experience.

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 4>The whole experience, of course, because anytime someone comes to

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.880

<v Speaker 4>Ten beautiful years. We have the dog, we have the house,

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 4>had the engagement ring. I was ready to commit, but

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 4>then pandemic hit, and you know that's when like the

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 4>whole foundation crumbled, right, Like I think that I opened

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:09.879
<v Speaker 4>up a lot of uglies for a lot of people.

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:14.399
<v Speaker 4>Did Now I'm very single, moved across the country, started

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 4>a new life.

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 3>And I was going to ask you that did your

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:18.400
<v Speaker 3>life change dramatically after that?

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 7>It did?

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 2>It?

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 9>Did?

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.639
<v Speaker 4>I felt in a way that I was like I

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 4>was in a good place and then all of that happened,

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, you know what, it's time to

0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 4>choose me. It's time to do something different. So I

0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 4>got a job in California, and I said, you know what,

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to go and they said when can you

0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 4>be here? And I said, give me two weeks. So

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 4>I packed up my car, packed up my dog, and

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.879
<v Speaker 4>I just drove across the country. No furniture, no nothing,

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.679
<v Speaker 4>Just like you know, I wish to hope a dream

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 4>and my dog and I made it. And I've been

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 4>in California for you know, four years, and I love it.

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:51.439
<v Speaker 4>I love everything about it.

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Now, you tell us that your dream is to have

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 3>a farm full of animals.

0:18:57.800 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>What appeals to you about that?

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, despite living in Los Angeles, the mecca of materialism,

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 4>the mecca of beautiful people, concentrating people, you know, the traffic,

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 4>the amount of people that are constantly flocking to Los Angeles,

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, I just want some peace and quiet. I

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 4>want to have like the farm. I want to have

0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:22.880
<v Speaker 4>no neighbors for miles. I want my neighbors to be chickens, goats,

0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 4>a cow. You know, I want to be best friends

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 4>with Betsy the cow. That's what I.

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Want, Lindo, Helindo.

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.480
<v Speaker 3>There is something to be said about the piece that

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 3>quietness and solitude and animals bring to your life. You know.

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.360
<v Speaker 3>That's why I think in La a lot of us

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 3>most of us have pets because we do want that

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 3>little connection, even if it's just in a little cubicle

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.119
<v Speaker 3>that we live every day. What is it that you

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 3>are looking for right now in a partner? Are you

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 3>looking for love? Are you looking for a long term relationship?

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 4>I think I want that. I've been single for so

0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 4>long that I thought in Los Angeles, where there's ten

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 4>million people, I'd be like, there's bound to be at

0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 4>least one person that likes me. And I've been here

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 4>for four years and I've yet to find that one

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.440
<v Speaker 4>person that like I connect with on a more intimate level.

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 4>I can connect with people on you know, any kind

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 4>of superficial thing, fashion, movies, aesthetic, whatever it is that

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, Californians love, but nobody has been able to

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.199
<v Speaker 4>make a commitment. And that's been the hard part. That

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 4>I want somebody that I can connect with, that I

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.639
<v Speaker 4>can like really just like not have to think about

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:34.200
<v Speaker 4>being more than myself.

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 3>I hear a lot of people say, oh, yeah, it's

0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:41.399
<v Speaker 3>Los Angeles, It's what California is all about. But I

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 3>think that as human beings, we are different everywhere we go,

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 3>and it's just a matter of who we surround ourselves

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.440
<v Speaker 3>with who we open our hearts to and who is

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 3>able to do that for us. So I think a

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Wilita is going to try and do that for you.

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Let's see what happens. Okay, thank you, thank you, Juny.

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 2>And that's the time we have for this. So let's

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:10.520
<v Speaker 2>kick off your third and final CAO. Let's meet Florentino,

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Mida Florentino. Before I send you over with the little.

0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Give us like a little intro to.

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 2>You, your name, where you're from? What do you do

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 2>a fun?

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 6>Facts Florentino, the tropical experience, Rico slashes Dominica Republic and

0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:34.200
<v Speaker 6>I am just a fabulous experience for to have some fun.

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Then really I love it. Well, thank you so much, Farentino.

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to hand you over for a little.

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Alita. Trig it away, take it away.

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:51.479
<v Speaker 3>How are you me florentinot I have an espresso already

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 3>right now. The first thing that I read is that

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 3>you say that alitas are the true test.

0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:57.959
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean by that?

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 11>As the person that was race by my grandma, they

0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:06.439
<v Speaker 11>always have great insight and their best intentions for your

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.359
<v Speaker 11>in mind, so they're always the toughest critics. So I

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 11>feel like if you can get thrown out Waalita, you're

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 11>most likely to get to the heart of the person

0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 11>you want. Because if the a Walita approves like, it's

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:17.679
<v Speaker 11>a yes for the family.

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:17.919
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I'm crying again, all right, Phoenix, Is your Awalita

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:24.200
<v Speaker 3>still with us?

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 11>Yes, thankfully she is. She's about to turn eighty, so

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.119
<v Speaker 11>I am the blessed to have her around. That's the

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 11>tough woman, the toughest woman I know.

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 8>I love that woman.

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Does she give you dating advice?

0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 11>Time has changed, orientations have changed, mentalities are a little

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 11>bit different. So Mayawalita has like an overall idea, but

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 11>going to deep, especially being a gay man, it's a

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 11>little harder getting super deep into details and emotions with

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.880
<v Speaker 11>an Aa. So Maalita gives me like a broad view

0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:00.720
<v Speaker 11>of how you approach things, you know, like my mom

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 11>is really good at giving me advice. I go to

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 11>her to like the deeper questions, you know.

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 3>But you would be surprised sometimes how I Willitas have

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:11.439
<v Speaker 3>a better understanding than you think we do because we

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:12.679
<v Speaker 3>love you so much.

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.639
<v Speaker 11>They do. Maa actually surprised me with a lot of

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 11>love and acceptance throughout the years and having difficult conversations.

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 11>So I definitely cherish that woman's opinion deeply in it's

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.639
<v Speaker 11>nice to see her evolve and accept me more and

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 11>embrace me more, and it's made for us to have

0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 11>like even more special relationship through out time.

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.879
<v Speaker 3>It's the ultimate love. So, speaking of love, are we

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 3>looking for love in a relationship?

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 11>I'm always looking for love.

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:41.639
<v Speaker 3>I love love, You love love? So has that gotten

0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 3>you into trouble? Because sometimes it's kind of hard to

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 3>see all the red flags if you're in love with love, Yes.

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:51.280
<v Speaker 11>That has gotten me answer trouble. That has got to

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:54.160
<v Speaker 11>be out of trouble. I mean, I am just a lover.

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 11>I use a lot of that love for inspiration. I

0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 11>feel like love is one of the most powerful process

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 11>and that keeps me alive as a writer, as a musician,

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:07.159
<v Speaker 11>love is like my biggest inspiration in life. So I

0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:11.240
<v Speaker 11>often find myself pulling from love for different sorts of inspiration.

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, so you also are a hard worker and

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:16.200
<v Speaker 3>you have a lot of hustles going on out there.

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:17.439
<v Speaker 1>What is that all about?

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:20.879
<v Speaker 11>Well, living in la is not an ec city, and

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 11>being a freelance artist, you need to stay on top

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 11>of your game all the time. So I'm being very

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 11>blessed to live off of art here since simum to La.

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 11>So I'm constantly working in production, using my body as

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:41.480
<v Speaker 11>my vessel for modeling, acting and doing all the things

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:43.720
<v Speaker 11>that I as the child thought were a dream. And

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:47.959
<v Speaker 11>I'm here living off of ghost little things. Honestly, I'm

0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:50.840
<v Speaker 11>having the best time. Hustling very hard because it's tough

0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:53.159
<v Speaker 11>out here. But if you're doing what you love, I

0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.080
<v Speaker 11>feel like no hustle is hard enough.

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 1>No, and you have to.

0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Life has changed completely for all of us, no matter

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 3>how old we are. Life is a hustle. And do

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 3>you hustle to find that right person?

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 11>Also, I feel like I have a lot of open doors.

0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 11>I am on the dating apps. I'm very open so

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.760
<v Speaker 11>like going out and meeting people. I'm very open to

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 11>giving people chances. Like I said, I'm an open door

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 11>for love, and I love love and I always welcome

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 11>it in whichever way it comes.

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 3>That you are also looking for commitment, yes.

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.360
<v Speaker 11>And that is so hard to find here in La.

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 11>I guess I don't know the culture. Everything moves so quick,

0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 11>everybody's looking so like the person that's gonna give them

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 11>their next moment or taking them more and like finding

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 11>a person that's willing to commit.

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 8>I feel like it's so hard.

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I hate cutting off coup of seat those because I

0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 2>always want to like keep hearing, But unfortunately I have

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:44.399
<v Speaker 2>to stop this because we will be getting to know

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 2>each other more with games and challenges, So do not worry. So,

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 2>thank you so so much for Lentino. Ah so aut

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:59.280

<v Speaker 2>all seem to have great, big hearts and just exactly

0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:03.640

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:09.600
<v Speaker 3>So and do you think's something little different to offer? Absolutely,

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 3>it's harder for Awilita, but very interesting.

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you think it's going to be possible to find someone? Yeah?

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:18.159
<v Speaker 1>I think so. We always do, Veico.

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, Maria, come on in for a hot second

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.560
<v Speaker 2>and tell us what have been your first impressions.

<v Speaker 5>I'm freaking out because I love like everyone's answers, and

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 5>I agree with you Awlita that they are like bringing

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 5>something different and unique that all seems like hard to

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:38.640
<v Speaker 5>like if I had to make a choice, like, oh

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.560
<v Speaker 5>my gosh, they all bring something else so different.

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 7>I liked all the contestants I thought their answers.

0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 5>Were great, and most of all, I love that it

0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:50.080
<v Speaker 5>seems like everybody's on the same page about looking for

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 5>something serious currently, which like I love the most and

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:57.199
<v Speaker 5>like full transparency between us and whatever.

0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:59.400
<v Speaker 7>I'm just like really nervous right.

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 5>Now because I'm wondering if these daters or contestants are

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:08.639
<v Speaker 5>quote unquote like transamorous, or if they're interested in someone

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 5>who does drag or looks so female presenting, because I'm

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:15.480
<v Speaker 5>not presenting as a boy today, but that does exist,

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 5>you know what I So, I just don't want to

0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 5>seem like I'm like cat fishing or doing like a

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 5>bait and switch or something. So that's just that's one

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 5>thing that keeps running through my mind.

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:27.119
<v Speaker 7>Is all this guy's great, he's cool, Like I'm lik

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:28.880
<v Speaker 7>in theses, but I wonder, like.

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:32.280
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean, don't question, Okay.

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Go with it, Okay, let us do all the questions.

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Like I said, they each bring something different and special,

0:27:39.800 --> 0:27:42.240
<v Speaker 3>but in the way that they speak, they've opened their

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:45.600
<v Speaker 3>heart and their mind to being in a format like this,

0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 3>So we are accepting of everything. This is a program
