0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:58.559
<v Speaker 1>special relationship with their grandmother before she passed, even getting

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit about what you are all about. What is

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>it that you are looking for today on date Maya Alita?

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.119
<v Speaker 7>First, well, I will I have to say I feel

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 7>like I'm in very good hands, so thank you for

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 7>having me. You're well and I mean tall, dark and handsome. Yes,

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 7>Gender aside, it's that's not a factor for me and

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 7>someone who is connected to themselves. That's the first thing

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 7>that's coming to mind, and lives life boldly, courageously, honestly.

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 7>I think I want a partner's who's ready to face

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 7>the world together.

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 5>You're ready to settle down. I am you are? What

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 5>made you decide on that?

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 7>I actually spent the last year single. It's the longest

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 7>I've been single, and that connected me not only to

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 7>myself but to the world, and like how I want

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 7>to relate to the world and show up who I

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 7>want to show up as. And so I think because

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 7>of that time spent with myself dating myself, I can

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 7>date someone else. Now.

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Now, when you and I were dating, we were

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 4>both exploring polyamory.

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.159
<v Speaker 3>Is that something that you're still inclining to?

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 4>Are you looking for something more monogamous or non monogamish?

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Where are we at?

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 7>We're monogamish, monogamish.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 5>I love that monogamish thing, love it into it. Let

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 5>me ask you about your grandmother.

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I know that you took care of your grandmother during

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic.

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 5>Well she got ill, yes.

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 7>I did. Her caretaker needed to go work in the

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:53.159
<v Speaker 7>hospital during COVID. So I moved in. And it was

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 7>in you know, a single day kind of decision because

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 7>I had to quarantine and all of that stuff. So

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 7>I like dropped everything and and quarantined for a while,

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 7>and then I moved in with her. And she was

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 7>my morning and night, I mean, my first thought in

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 7>the morning, my last thought before I went to bed.

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 7>We had our routines. I would sing to her this

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 7>like morning song in the morning, and I sang her

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 7>to her at night and we watched Grace and Frankie

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 7>together until she fell asleep.

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 5>Oh I love that show.

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 1>What advice that Awilita gave you about life and love

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that you can move on and Carrie always she was.

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 7>So supportive of who I was that I felt, you know,

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 7>through all of the relationships, she supported the mess and

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 7>she was like, I'm here for you. I love you unconditionally.

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 7>You date whoever you want. And then I did ask

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 7>her when you know, it was one of her last nights.

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.479
<v Speaker 7>I remember that because I had pressed record on my

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 7>phone and I was just listening to her talk and

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 7>collecting some things, and I said, Almah, what is the

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 7>meaning of life? And she goes wow, and she like

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 7>looked out at the ocean and she goes to give

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 7>life meaning?

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 5>And I was.

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Damn, absolutely wow. What a beautiful insight on what kind

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of woman she was.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I love, I love.

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 4>Also, we see a tattoo on your arm here, do

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 4>you want to tell us a little bit of your tattoo?

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 7>So my grandma was an artist and she had a

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 7>gorgeous art studio that I was working out of when

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 7>I was living there, and I would go through all

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 7>like her old sketches, and I found this one when

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 7>we were cleaning up her studio after she passed away.

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 7>And it's for those of you who can't see, it's

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 7>the drawing of a woman. She's nude and she looks

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 7>eerily like my aunt.

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 4>Amazing.

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 7>We don't know who modeled for her, but I did

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.159
<v Speaker 7>finish the painting myself. So I have the sketch and

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 7>I watercolored it and it's hanging up in the bedroom.

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 3>That is beautiful.

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 4>Now, going into the dating, are you looking for someone

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 4>who's also an artist or someone that's somewhat aligns and

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 4>compliments your artistry because you are multifaceted.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 3>You're right, You.

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 4>Sing, you draw, you pain? Do you you know all

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 4>the things.

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 8>I see you?

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 7>I know you had to see me never.

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 3>I did it voluntarily.

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I want who.

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 7>Voluntarily sees me as the creative that I am. I

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 7>would love to date a creative I mean an artists

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.880

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 7>makes sense. I'm not like Steadfast. I will say that

<v Speaker 3>Can you share with us and I will lead that.

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:39.600

<v Speaker 5>I'm just venting? Just listen?

0:07:59.040 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, no, need to fit.

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>One question for you, Ari, How have your past relationships

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and not naming any names affected the way that you

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>carry yourself?

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 7>Do you mind if you step away for a second.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 4>I know exactly what I did so and we definitely

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 4>talked about it.

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 5>No, I definitely all right, ladies and gentlemen, this is phase.

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 7>The day.

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 4>When we met, I was coming out of my renowned

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 4>fu boy face, but I wanted to earnestly, actually date

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 4>and create an emotional connection.

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 3>But I still had no tools yet to really be

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 3>able to lean in.

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 4>I remember once we were talking when we're still dating

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 4>and I had a moment of like emotion where I

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.839
<v Speaker 4>like cried a little bit and then Ari was like, oh,

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 4>it's nice to see you be.

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Human, and I was like, you've seen too much. I

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 3>gotta get out of here.

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 4>I could see you wanting to connect with me and

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 4>be vulnerable and like, let me be vulnerable, And I

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 4>had no tools yet to be okay with like letting

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 4>you see the threads of my composition.

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 3>So that's the last.

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.679
<v Speaker 7>Mean, honestly why they said it all?

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>So how do you carry yourself into the next relationship?

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:18.719
<v Speaker 5>What are you bringing to it?

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm just really willing to set aside everything I think

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 7>I know about relationships and be so open to learning

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 7>along the way truly. And also we go like I

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 7>am constantly in a process of allowing myself to show

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 7>up messy with all my threads and accept that and

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:41.839
<v Speaker 7>not strive for perfection. I heard recently that perfectionism is

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 7>the pursuit of the worst and yourself.

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a waste of time and energy.

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:50.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>So if you had one specific thing you want, a

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Willita to make sure that it's part of this new relationship.

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 3>What is that?

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 7>Must love dogs here here in therapy, But I feel

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 7>like a lot of people are these days.

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, muscle of dogs.

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 4>And ideally, I mean we can ask about the therapy

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 4>thing because it won't hurt.

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why not.

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 1>You know nowadays everybody's in therapy.

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 3>One can only home. Well, I think we've done it.

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 4>We are going to bring in three contestants for how

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 4>we lead that to connect you with and fingers crossed.

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.199
<v Speaker 4>By the end of this, we'll find you a special someone.

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 4>So uh, let's bring on the contestants.

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 3>We'll be back after the break. Welcome back today, Maya

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 3>In a religious family.

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 4>Her grandfather was a preacher, and it wasn't so easy

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 4>for her to come out.

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 3>But now that she is, she says she wants to

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 3>be come more gay every day.

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 4>She's a once divorced, hopeless romantic who is unfortunately often.

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:13.079
<v Speaker 3>Drawn to people who play hard to get. Welcome Abby, Hi.

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 8>Thank you for having me on the show.

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, a pleasure. And now we have Iris.

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Iris just got out of a long term relationship and

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 4>is looking to reconnect with the community. Their friends have

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 4>described them as sometimes being too sweet and nice. Iris

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 4>dreams of one day buying some land in Maico and

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.839
<v Speaker 4>building a big, beautiful dream home.

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Where's the invite.

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 4>They have trouble flirting, but are not afraid to live

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 4>and try new things as long as it doesn't have

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 4>to do with height.

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 3>Same say hello, Iris, say everyone a pleasure.

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:57.560
<v Speaker 4>And last, but certainly not least, Anthony. Anthony frequently gets

0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 4>mistaken for bat bunny, which I I can see it

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.679
<v Speaker 4>for those of you listening very much looks like that bunny.

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.079
<v Speaker 4>I thought he was my cousin. But it's not the

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 4>ladies who get excited, it's the straight men. Flex I

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 4>love that he's an only child with a very close

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 4>relationship with his mom and his grandma. Anthony is drawn

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 4>to which he's spiritual, astrology loving women, and his self

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 4>described toxic traits are self deprecation and listening to Kanye.

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Hello Anthony, Yeah that Kanye thing.

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we're gonna talk about it.

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh my goodness, what a treat to meet you all.

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Let's get to know you further with our first game.

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 3>So here's the thing.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Our main dater is a musician who loves to pour

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.560
<v Speaker 4>their heart into their songwriting. Today, we'd love to see

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 4>how you might react to certain relationship scenarios while also

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 4>getting a sense of your music taste.

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 3>This game of record reactions is simple.

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 4>We'll give you a scenario and you'll respond with a

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 4>song title that describes how you'd react. For example, if

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 4>the scenario was you run into an X and they

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 4>haven't changed one bit, I might say shallow as sung

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 4>by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper or whatever you wants

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 4>that song? Good, yes, all right, fantastic, Liliana take it

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 4>away with your first scenario.

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, are we ready our first scenario? Your situationship texts

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.959
<v Speaker 1>you that they'd like to start taking things a little

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>more seriously.

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 3>What would be the song that goes with that?

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Iris, take it away.

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 6>I think that the next thing would be kissed Me

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 6>by sixpence, none the richer, Oh Anthony.

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 2>The one that I got was come when you call

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 2>by a TV.

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 4>Girl, Come when you call by TV girl? And then Abby,

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:57.319

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Into it, into it? Okay. I have the next scenario.

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 4>You're hooking up with someone and they ask you to

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.719

<v Speaker 3>Iris. Do you have a song?

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 2>I am just gonna go and be cheesy. Let the

<v Speaker 3>you have another scenario?

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 5>Okay, now here's the final scenario.

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Your mom asks to meet your partner after you've been

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 1>dating them for three months.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Abby, go for it, take us away.

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 6>I would do a Gora Hills by doshakat a Gora

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 6>Hills by do Cat where.

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 8>She's like, I want to show you off.

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I want to show you off? Okay, cute?

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 5>Okay, how about you, Anthony?

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I would do Pila Jones by Frank Oshan.

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh Jos, Reness, it seems like y' all know what's up?

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 5>How about you? Iris?

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 8>It's a little difficult for me to answer that because

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 8>I feel like my mom would not ask.

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 7>To meet my partner.

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Maybe the song reflects that. Absolutely, I would say, like,

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 3>not gonna happen?

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 5>Is that a song?

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 3>No, I can make it up right now, not gonna

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 3>happen now.

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 7>Something like that.

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately, yeah, here, here, here, here noted.

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 4>It's clear to me that you all have impeccable music

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 4>taste and then yeah, sometimes some unquestionable relationship interactions.

0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 3>It all makes sense.

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, you're right, But we.

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Still have so much more to learn about these things,

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>beautiful contests, and so let's play another game.

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 5>Yes we will.

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna play another game before I will eat that

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 4>decides who is not gonna be moving on in the competition.

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 4>We want to know a little bit more about your

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 4>communication style.

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 3>In this game, you'll be given a text.

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 4>From your new partner that you'll need to respond with

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 4>a completely original acronym. So, for example, if I got

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 4>a text that said, I'm running late to our date

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 4>dot dot dot again, can we reschedule? Instead of me

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:46.000
<v Speaker 4>texting NBD, no big deal, would make my own acronym

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 4>and be NTMA, which is never text me again. Maybe

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 4>I'll add a B there and be like bitch anyway,

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 4>just kidding. Do you want to give the first text?

<v Speaker 3>I did hi. I love dimples.

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 1>You know when you were born, God went, what a cutie. Okay,

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>let's talk a little bit about your love life. What

0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 1>is that about what has it been in the past.

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.720
<v Speaker 6>I was in a two committed relationships back to bad so,

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 6>I was in a five year relationship with a woman

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 6>I was not in love with, and then I got married.

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.680
<v Speaker 6>So I'm recently divorced. It was two years, but I

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 6>was in a committed relationship with her for ten years.

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So tell me a little bit about the relationship

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:20.239
<v Speaker 1>with your mom and how how has that affected who

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you are and who you are moving forward into a

0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 1>new relationship.

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 6>My mom, she's the oldest of the preacher's daughter, so

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 6>she grew up really religious and she didn't accept the

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 6>fact that I was queer.

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:33.360
<v Speaker 8>I'm gay.

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 6>We kind of had a rocky relationship growing up only

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:37.440
<v Speaker 6>because of the fact that I'm gay.

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 8>But we're really good now, so.

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 6>She's changed her mindset about how she views LGBTQ plus community.

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:49.399
<v Speaker 1>A little difficult when you're that religious, when you have

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:53.399
<v Speaker 1>so much of the religion itself just telling you, oh no,

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:57.119
<v Speaker 1>that's bad, that's wrong. But with the times change, and

0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, parents and grandparents, we all have to be

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 1>so much more open minded and open hearted. So after

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.720
<v Speaker 1>these two relationships, what did you learn about them.

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:08.239
<v Speaker 5>And what are you looking for now.

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 6>I learned that you should not date someone that you're

0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 6>not in love with or planning and telling up the

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 6>second one.

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 8>I mean, it wasn't a mistake. We just grew apart.

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 5>What made you marry that person?

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:23.920
<v Speaker 6>She was my best friend, so you know, we dated

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 6>for that long and then we decided to get married.

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:29.400
<v Speaker 8>But then and we were like, nah, it's not gonna work.

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 1>So okay, So what is the qualities that you're looking

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>for in your new partner.

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:38.560
<v Speaker 6>I like someone who's motivated, who's talented, honest, clear communication.

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And you're ready to settle down into one relationship. Yes,

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and you've tried all the dating naps and all those

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 1>things too.

0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:47.680
<v Speaker 6>I'm fairly new to it, so I'm just on bumble's

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:52.320
<v Speaker 6>I honestly, I'm exhausted from uploading like profiles and swiping.

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:55.879
<v Speaker 8>So I was like, yeah, let me come on this

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 8>dating show.

0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:59.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, let's see what we can do.

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so so much, Abby. We are going to

0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:08.640
<v Speaker 3>welcome back Anthony.

0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:10.879
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to go ahead and hand you over to

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 4>Awilita for a little CAFFERSI the one on one Ailita.

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 5>They get away, Anthony. You know where I'm going? What

0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 5>is this thing with Kanye.

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:26.200
<v Speaker 9>Well, as someone who has made music, especially it's the

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 9>similar kind of music. I just really relate to him

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 9>on like that level. So like the music that he

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 9>made and like how he got to where he is

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 9>like just inspires me. So like I kind of like

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 9>grew up with him. So it's mainly just the music side.

0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 9>I know, like outside that he's batshit crazy.

0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:48.159
<v Speaker 5>So you know, what instruments do you play? What do

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 5>you do?

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:54.439
<v Speaker 2>So I mainly do like producing and like singing, rapping.

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 9>I'm trying to learn the piano, attempted the guitar kind

0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:01.680
<v Speaker 9>of just like gave up, but I'm starting to get

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 9>back into it, and then i have like a synthesizer,

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 9>so that's like the only actual instrument I play.

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 1>So what are the qualities you're looking for in a

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:12.480
<v Speaker 1>partner besides being interested in music?

0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Communication? Number one?

0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:17.880
<v Speaker 9>Just because like it's taking me a while to get

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 9>better at communicating, so like now that I'm like kind

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 9>of getting there, I also need someone to be really

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:28.200
<v Speaker 9>good at communicating, and honestly, that's kind of like pretty

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 9>much it.

0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 2>And just not to be like a shitty person.

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Well you are a very nice person, but tell me

0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:39.119
<v Speaker 1>if your date right now was listening to what you

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:43.320
<v Speaker 1>have to say, how would you work that very first date,

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 1>that very first time when you meet?

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 5>What do you have to offer?

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:52.120
<v Speaker 2>I think what I have to offer is honesty.

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:55.200
<v Speaker 9>I'm not somebody that's going to lie about anything, you know,

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 9>whether I'm like struggling with like money or like, like

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 9>if I have like a lot, you know, I'd be

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 9>like pretty honest about anything and everything that I do. Like,

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 9>I don't lie and I don't like liars. So I

0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 9>think honestly would be like the best thing I could offer.

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:16.879
<v Speaker 1>And you are fully ready for a relationship, Yeah, definitely. Okay,

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:19.480
