0:01:58.400 --> 0:01:59.280

<v Speaker 2>Just lay it on us. We want to know it all.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. So I'm thirty three, I'm a Libra and my

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 5>rise in my moon are Scorpio. So I don't play games. Oh,

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 5>I have a really sweet dog named Amara. That's about

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 5>three years old. She's a corky cattle dog. And I

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 5>have a mobile coffee company like that you guys discussed.

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 5>I started it in my yard here in LA and

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 5>then I was working full time. About a year ago

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 5>I got laid off, so I was like, you know what,

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to take this more seriously, and so that's

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 5>what I do now for a living and it's been

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 5>really life changing.

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, the good thing about all that information is that Guffycito,

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 3>along with our Guffecito, is gonna be a hell of

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 3>a day.

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready?

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 5>Let's do it?

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>So what are you looking for, my love?

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 5>I just want people that are deeply kind and kind

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 5>of really live by that and how they move. I'm

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 5>typically into people who are artists or into social justice

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 5>because that's where I typically meet people doing the things

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 5>that I love to do, and somebody usually with our

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 5>spiritual practice, they don't have to be religious. But I

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 5>think self work is extremely important when it comes to intimacy.

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of self work, when's the last time you dated

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 4>somebody and what have you learned from that experience and

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 4>what are the things that you are looking for that

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 4>really align with the previous relationship or previous relationships and

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 4>one of the things that now you've raised awareness around

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.239
<v Speaker 4>that you are going to be more conscientious moving forward

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 4>of like oh if I noticed this, I don't want

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 4>to repeat that, or like whatever pattern I want to break.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I think the thing that came up recently from

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 5>somebody I was dating about a month ago, was around

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 5>boundary work that I lack in. I describe it as

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 5>I feel like there was a door in my bedroom

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 5>that I just covered up with a dresser and I

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 5>convinced myself that there was a wall. And this person

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 5>was like, hey, there's a door in your bedroom, and

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 5>I was like, no, there's not a door. And now

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 5>I've opened the door and I'm just seeing all this

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 5>like clutter of things that I self to work on

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 5>when it comes to boundaries. I think I led a

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 5>lot of things slide because I grew up being uncomfortable.

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm biracial, so you know, I'm like white with my

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 5>mom and then I'm Middle Eastern at my dad's and

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 5>I can't fully be queer in either space. So I

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 5>think recently, yeah, I know when people are rude or mean,

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 5>but I don't know how to advocate when I feel uncomfortable,

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 5>and so since being in that dynamic, I've been reading

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.479
<v Speaker 5>all these boundary books, I've been like confronting. I've confronted

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 5>like fifteen people in the last month. You know, I

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 5>think when you confront people, you actually deepen the connection.

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 5>And I'm really interested in that in my life. And

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.159
<v Speaker 5>so whether it's neighbors. I'm really close to my neighbors,

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 5>like they drop off fapoosa to me and I give

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 5>them coffee, and like we're deeply connected. But there are

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 5>things that are annoying, Right, So how do I communicate that,

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 5>whether it's neighbors or in work or business or intimacy.

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 5>So that's a really thing that I'm grateful for.

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 4>That's fucking beautiful. How does someone woo you? What are

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.720
<v Speaker 4>the things that are like, oh, I see you, thank

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 4>you for making a bit for connection.

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want.

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I mean I love thoughtfulness. So whenever I'm

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 5>vending and people flirted with me by like getting me

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 5>coffee from a trip, that is super sweet. Right, there

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 5>are these like things that you know that I'm into,

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 5>or a toy for my dog, or you bring dinner

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 5>you know that I'm tired or something like that. And

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 5>I think quality time. I think going and doing activities together.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 4>What are some activities that you enjoy doing accompanied I.

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 5>Love comedy shows, I love going to the theater. I

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 5>love figuring out new hikes. I car camp a good amount.

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 5>So I just went to New Mexico with my dog.

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh nice.

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 5>I really like to swim, so I love finding rivers

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 5>and lakes, So those are like fun activities for me.

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 4>Hell was Yeah, you mentioned something earlier about spirituality. How

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 4>does that affect the way in which you seek connection

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 4>from other folks.

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 5>My parents split when I was four, so I grew

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.480
<v Speaker 5>up really Christian at my mom's house and very Muslim

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 5>at my dad's. And then in about high school, Islam

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 5>really landed for me. So I identify as Muslim, and

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 5>I think religion and a connection with a higher entity

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 5>is literally pivotal to my essence. I truly don't know

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 5>who I would be without that. I think that's given

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 5>me a really big sense of dedication and service to community.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 5>I think that's why I'm really interested in it. Growing

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 5>up in the Mosque was very about community and about

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 5>deep connection with people that aren't your blood family, and

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 5>I find that really special. It makes me feel like

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 5>somebody has my back, and I really I think you

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 5>have to have that confidence to move in the world

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 5>or like as send to self actualization.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Within the queer spectrum, where do you sort of feel

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 4>a land at and marrying that with your religious practice.

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 5>Growing up, I didn't really have a language around queerness,

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, in the nineties, so I just didn't have

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 5>examples of that. I think as I've gotten older, my

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 5>dad is pretty homophobic, so I had to set a boundary.

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 5>If I don't communicate with you, that is not okay

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 5>to me, just like fundamentally. But my mom is super supportive,

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 5>and it's been a process. My mom would call my

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 5>partners my friends, and I had to be like, you know,

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 5>you need to stop saying that, like that's actually not true.

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 5>And to see her come so far has been so wonderful.

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 5>It's been really cool to see my family on the

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 5>journey with me. I think you can't really do this

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 5>in isolation, and then I think it's so in the

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 5>fabric of my business. My business is homage to myself

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 5>and my family, so it's just very a part of

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 5>everything that I do is letting people, especially queer people

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 5>of color, know that like as a business, as a

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 5>person like I am walking alongside you, and then there's

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.199
<v Speaker 5>a huge niche in Middle eastertain people that follow my company,

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 5>and I think that's really special, especially queer Middle Eastern

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 5>people in LA because we've been so underrepresented because the

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 5>sentences seems us as white. So that's how I would

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 5>answer that.

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 2>That's beautiful, Thank you so much.

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Many things need to change in our society, but we

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 3>are taking it one day at a time. You did

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 3>mention that the candles that you make were inspired by

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 3>your grandmothers. Tell me a little bit about that, and

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:23.440
<v Speaker 3>they are still around.

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Yeah, they're both still around. I just really wanted

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 5>something that made me feel like a kid and made

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 5>me feel really good. And I think scent and scent

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 5>of my grandma's are really that for me. And then

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to share that, right, which is why I

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 5>made them for mass consumption. I wanted other people to

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 5>feel that feeling. And I think, also from a representation piece,

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 5>so many Middle Eastern people that have gotten the one

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 5>that smell like BB that's my Middle Eastern grandma. It

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 5>smells like their grandma. And I think, you know, smelling

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 5>home can bring up so much, especially like good memories

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 5>of being a kid, and I think that's really important.

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 3>And with your grandmothers, how has the process of telling

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 3>them about your love life has been?

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Were they accepting from minute one?

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 5>My Middle Eastern grandma lives in Iraq and I haven't

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 5>been to Iraq, so she's never met anybody but Jojo

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 5>Joanne and Tennessee met my long term partner, ex partner,

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 5>and she loved her. She started asking her to fix

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 5>stuff around the house.

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, how adorable is that? Yeah?

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 5>But then you know when we had one on one time,

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 5>she just felt really really connected to her, which was

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 5>really special.

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I love that that long term partner. How long did

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 2>that relationship last?

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 5>That was active for about five and a half years

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 5>and then we tried to figure that out for probably

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 5>up to seven.

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Wow, and when did that end?

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.679
<v Speaker 5>That ended right at the beginning kind of of COVID.

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's what's up? So hell's yeah, we're looking for

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a long term dynamic. If you could pick like.

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 4>One thing that Awaita Liliana should be looking for in

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 4>these contestants, what would that be?

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:15.680
<v Speaker 5>Someone stable?

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Someone stable? Someone stable?

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that body and mind?

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:23.359
<v Speaker 5>It it all.

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Incredible?

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, thank you so much, Hannah. I think it's about

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 4>that time where Awlita will use all of the tools

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 4>in her belt to find a kind, a funny, a thoughtful,

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.959
<v Speaker 4>a plus communicator. So I can't wait to meet these

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.560
<v Speaker 4>contestants and see how they do with the games you've

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 4>made up for them.

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna send you into hiding for a little

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.479
<v Speaker 2>bit as we bring in the contestants.

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.680

<v Speaker 2>a whole moment processing that.

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Then they're done dead.

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.360

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Over here. I'm into it.

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, here we have another one now, our main dater

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 3>loves a little woo energy. Yes, So would you rather

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 3>make potions or read minds?

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Ellen?

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 9>I would love to read minds, but I feel like

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 9>I'm going to get in trouble with that one, So

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 9>I'm going to say potionsm.

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll see you, I see you making potions.

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 8>Lucy, I'm also going to say making potions. I just

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 8>feel like being able to read minds would probably send

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 8>me into a mental breakdown.

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Really quickly understood, understood, Christiana.

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts?

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 7>Oh, I'm a bit of a masochist.

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:34.800
<v Speaker 6>I'm reading minds.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I love that. I love that.

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'd use it for good though, I'd only use

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 6>it for good, you know, I tune out the bad

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 6>stuff and be like it's none of my business.

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 7>Would you have control over it?

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 8>Like?

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 9>Could you decide if you wanted to read people's minds

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 9>or just kind of be like blooding that's the control.

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:56.000
<v Speaker 4>You're just like bloody lighting over the street. It out.

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm putting in music or something. I don't know, but

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 5>I want that power. Need it?

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, last one, last one?

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 4>Would you rather have to have a serious conversation with

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:13.600
<v Speaker 4>someone who spits when they talk? Or have lunch with

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 4>someone who insists on bringing their pet gecko to the restaurant.

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Everyone's reactions, y'all to this question is impeccable.

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Everyone was like, hello, what you want?

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>What you rather? Yeah?

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 7>No, I want to meet a gecko? So hell yeah,

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 7>get out for lunch?

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Actually, yes, Christiana, what do you think?

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:38.840
<v Speaker 5>Do I even like geckos? Like I have to I

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 5>can ask myself that the whole time.

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 6>But if somebody's talking to me while they're spitting, I'm

0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 6>leaving the restaurant, like.

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 5>Send me the check.

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 7>That's so pretty? Why am I soaking legs? This is

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 7>so weird.

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:52.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm just not a big fan of either one.

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Lucy, what do you think?

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.160
<v Speaker 8>Definitely the Gecko. I'm gonna say like, the more the merrier. Yes,

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.159
<v Speaker 8>I can't control my like facial reactions to things a

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 8>lot of the time. So if someone's spitting on me, like,

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 8>I'm just gonna look horrified and I'm probably gonna hurt.

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 3>Their feelings, that's good.

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 1>That's good.

0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Bunch them out.

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, aino, man, spit all those germs.

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:23.880
<v Speaker 3>No violence over here, but doon't get out of here.

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry.

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 4>If we use a chanklaw on you, It'll be a

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 4>gentle chank clap. It's gonna be it's gonna be. Okay,

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 4>it's time to play another game before I will eat.

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 4>That will send one of our lovely contestants home.

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 2>So here's the thing.

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 4>Our main data makes sweet potions of tea and coffee

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:46.280
<v Speaker 4>all around La. So in honor of our main dater,

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna play a little game called truth or drink. Cristiana,

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Lucy and Ella, I'll give you a second to go

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 4>grab your favorite coffee, tea, tequila.

0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll ask you.

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 4>All a question and if you can't answer it, you

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 4>drink all right, So if you answer, you go for it,

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:06.439
<v Speaker 4>but if you don't want to answer it, you take

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.680
<v Speaker 4>a little sippy SIPs.

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, totally okay, Now truth or drink. Why shouldn't someone

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 3>date you, Christiana?

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Take it away.

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm an only child, but not like in a selfish way.

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 7>I'm just like an only child.

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:25.640
<v Speaker 5>Like take that as you will.

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm an only child, noted.

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>How about you, Lucy.

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:33.679
<v Speaker 8>I have a lot of self confidence. I really like

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.719
<v Speaker 8>myself and that's not for everybody. I would say, like

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.640
<v Speaker 8>that can be construed as a toxic trait by some people.

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 2>So that would be it.

0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:43.439
<v Speaker 1>Ella.

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 9>I would say one of my fatal flaws is that

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 9>I will confidently walk in the wrong direction and doesn't

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 9>really matter if I.

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 7>Know where I'm going or not. But most of the

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:55.919
<v Speaker 7>time I will pick a direction and just start walking,

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 7>so don't follow me anywhere.

0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.640
<v Speaker 2>That is a hilarious thing, and I.

0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.399
<v Speaker 7>Walk with it confidence that like makes people follow me

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 7>to I.

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.719
<v Speaker 4>Have learned to be more assertive in my walk because

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 4>of that. So yeah, no, incredible.

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 2>So here's one.

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 4>It's a little easier since we started a little you know, Harsher,

0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 4>who was your high school crush and would you hook

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:24.200
<v Speaker 4>up with them today, Lucy, I see you smiling, truth

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:24.640
<v Speaker 4>or drink.

<v Speaker 8>I absolutely.

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:34.679
<v Speaker 4>Bless Oh my gosh, noted, Christiana, do you have anything

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 4>to say about that?

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:38.400

<v Speaker 6>She looked at me and I fell down the stairs

0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:01.879

0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:55.719
<v Speaker 8>to have that in common with someone. People who are

0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 8>like ambitious know what they want.

0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, very nice. And what is it that you're looking

0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:02.480

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 8>I have my shit together, and I'm looking for someone

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:09.959
<v Speaker 8>who can compliment that and can be a beautiful addition

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:10.639
<v Speaker 8>to my life.

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 1>So you have your shit together? What does that mean?

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 1>How do you have your shit together?

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:18.120
<v Speaker 8>I have a stable income that was not always a case,

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 8>and I'm proud of that, and I am able to

0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:24.200
<v Speaker 8>do all the things that I love and also maintain

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 8>a stable income. I consider myself someone who like works

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 8>to live as opposed to lives to work. So like

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 8>I prioritize my joy and I do the stuff that

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 8>I love and I'm lucky to have a job that

0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 8>lets me do that, and I live in a house

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 8>that I really love. I mean, I'm a renter because

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 8>it's Los Angeles, but I love the space that I

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 8>live in. And yeah, I just feel like I kind

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:44.159
<v Speaker 8>of like I checked a lot of the boxes that

0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 8>I wanted to have checked.

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 3>So there's one little thing that I saw in your

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 3>bio that I really would like, like, what is that

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:53.440
<v Speaker 3>about your allergy?

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:54.879
<v Speaker 1>How did that come about?

0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:02.679
<v Speaker 8>Straight for the jugular? Okay, yeah, yeah, So I am

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:07.200
<v Speaker 8>allergic to semen. I found out when I was first

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.480
<v Speaker 8>sexually active as like a I think senior in high

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:14.120
<v Speaker 8>school and was like in a long serious relationship with someone,

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.000
<v Speaker 8>so we had unprotected sex and I was like, this

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:20.639
<v Speaker 8>is not how that's supposed to feel. And luckily I'm

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:23.280
<v Speaker 8>very close with my mom, so I talked to her

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:25.879
<v Speaker 8>about it and I saw like seven different doctors and

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 8>finally one of them was like, oh, yeah, I think

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 8>we've seen this before. This is an allergy.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:33.679
<v Speaker 3>So wow, I had never heard that before. That's incredible

0:26:33.680 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 3>that they could be such an allergy.

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:37.719
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you know, I feel like I am a medical

0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 8>marvel a little bit. I'm like chemically gay, like I

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 8>really just don't. I think I'm bisexual, but in practice,

0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:45.440
<v Speaker 8>like there's there's fewer options for me.

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:48.919
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I love it.

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 3>So what else do we need to know about you

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:53.679
<v Speaker 3>in regards to the person that is to be in

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:54.679
<v Speaker 3>your life from now on.

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 8>I have a little dog who I like to bring

0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 8>with me pretty much everywhere, So I'm looking for somebody

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:02.119
<v Speaker 8>who's gonna be cool with him, maybe even somebody that

0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 8>has a buddy for him. Even if it's a gecko,

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:05.439
<v Speaker 8>he gets along with everyone.

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:09.800

<v Speaker 3>So when was the last time of your serious relationship

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 3>and how long was it?

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:16.880
<v Speaker 6>Maybe four years ago?

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 7>It was like a year.

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:21.440
<v Speaker 1>And since then you've just dated here and there.

0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:26.360
<v Speaker 6>What's I'm a long distance, casual, low commitment girlfriend.

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 7>That's a Poe Barbie.

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 6>Kind of just get to the situationships and then it's

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 6>like till the next one.

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:34.880
<v Speaker 5>I guess.

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Are you looking for a serious relationship? Would you like

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 3>to be committed?

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 7>I could be yeah, yeah.

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 6>I definitely. I know what commitment takes. I just haven't

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:48.120
<v Speaker 6>found that in someone or somebody hasn't found that in

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 6>me either, So I'm always open to it, just haven't

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:52.200
<v Speaker 6>gone there yet.

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:54.840
<v Speaker 1>So how does commitment look like?

0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:56.640
<v Speaker 8>To you, We'll just be honest.

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:58.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean, yeah, if you can't be honest with me,

0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 6>then what in a relationship for you know, to quote Kendrick,

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 6>I'd much rather you trust me than to love me

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 6>like and I vice versa. Trust me. I want to

0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:09.760
<v Speaker 6>trust the person that I'm with. And that's really what

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 6>commitment is. I don't have to worry about you, you

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 6>don't have to worry about me in the sense of

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 6>stepping outside of our commitment.

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 3>I guess you know that's a very good answer. And

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 3>someone who likes to restole, of course, Oh.

<v Speaker 4>dater has been listening this whole time. A Wanita might

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 4>have an idea of who she likes. But let's see

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 4>if we have a unanimous decision. So to both of

<v Speaker 5>Ooh, yeah, I think Lucy is more in alignment with

0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 5>me fundamentally, and Christiana is fun. But you know, they

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 5>seem a little young and that's okay, But I don't

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 5>know if that's in alignment.

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm there with you.

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 4>From the things that Lucy has answered in the way

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 4>that she's expressed herself, I feel that it aligns with

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 4>where you're at as well. Fantastic. All right, So Hannah,

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:34.120

<v Speaker 3>is more Hannah's style, how they think, how they think

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 3>their life is headed towards, while with Christiana we have

<v Speaker 3>a lot more fun, a little more openness, a little

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 3>more risk taking. While on the other side, Hannah and Lucy,

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:05.680

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:33.560
<v Speaker 5>so nice to me and funny. The semn thing made

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:40.800

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:42.280

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:44.240
<v Speaker 5>Really funny.

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:46.720
<v Speaker 8>You know, it was traumatizing when I was seventeen, and

0:33:46.760 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 8>now it's an amazing conversation starter. It's a great joke.

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:53.440
<v Speaker 4>So well, then I'm gonna go ahead and let you

0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 4>all have a little virtual date.

0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:56.560

<v Speaker 5>That was really fun.

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:06.520
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, we're just working the whole time. That's so fun.

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:09.279
<v Speaker 5>I felt awkward, so there was times that I would

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:11.520
<v Speaker 5>just go to the kitchen to give you guys privacy.

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.400
<v Speaker 5>It's because I didn't want to be a surveillance person,

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 5>but I did hear most of it.

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 8>Okay, great, dude, Have you ever done anything like this? No? No,

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:27.360
<v Speaker 8>I mean it definitely not. How do you feel?

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:30.279
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I thought it was so funny. I thought it

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:32.520
<v Speaker 5>was like so silly and funny.

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:32.879
<v Speaker 8>No.

0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:35.440
<v Speaker 5>I did a friend send it to me. I was like,

0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 5>you should do this, and I was like, I don't

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:39.480
<v Speaker 5>know if I want to do this, But then I

0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:40.760
<v Speaker 5>was like, it's kind of funny.

0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 8>It's so funny. Well, and it's also like low pressure

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 8>because like we're just on zoom, We're just jacking, you know.

0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:50.200
<v Speaker 8>I feel like it wasn't like like taking into an

0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 8>actual speed dating event because I just think it would

0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 8>be so awkward.

0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:57.280
<v Speaker 5>Oh I, and I think the people that go are weird.

0:34:57.440 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 8>That's what I'm always worried about, which is not fair.

0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:03.160
<v Speaker 8>But I think there's I know, I have so many

0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 8>questions about you.

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:05.920
<v Speaker 5>Oh god, yeah, yeah, please please ask me.

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:09.480
<v Speaker 8>So, Okay, so you run a coffee company. Yes.

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:13.279
<v Speaker 5>So I used to work in diversity and inclusion, like

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:16.239
<v Speaker 5>in corporate America for the last decade and then our

0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:18.640
<v Speaker 5>entire department got laid off. I ended up working at

0:35:18.719 --> 0:35:22.319
<v Speaker 5>Lyft Corporate and I had this coffee company that I

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 5>started in my yard. I was like, oh, I just

0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:28.799
<v Speaker 5>want a like elevated lemonade stand, but for adults. I

0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:30.960
<v Speaker 5>live on a cul de sac. All my neighbors I'm

0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 5>really close to all my neighbors would bring out all

0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:35.040
<v Speaker 5>the chairs and we would just turn the entire cul

0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:37.319
<v Speaker 5>de sac into like a coffee shop. And then it

0:35:37.360 --> 0:35:39.239
<v Speaker 5>just grew every weekend and people were like, can I

0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:41.760
<v Speaker 5>tattoo in your yard? Can I barber? Can I do whatever?

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 5>And then I threw this huge block party. There was

0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 5>like four hundred people that came in my street. My

0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:49.440
<v Speaker 5>friends were like, oh, you should take this seriously. So

0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:52.120
<v Speaker 5>when I got laid off, a friend sent me this

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:55.640
<v Speaker 5>Woman of Color Entrepreneur program through Calca to La. So

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:57.880
<v Speaker 5>I did that and that changed kind of like the

0:35:57.960 --> 0:36:00.040
<v Speaker 5>game of like, oh, I think this is like that

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.720
<v Speaker 5>I want to do full time. So I stopped applying

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:04.800
<v Speaker 5>for jobs and like this is how I pay rent

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:08.799
<v Speaker 5>and wow, Yeah, it's been like crazy and so much

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 5>learning but really addicting. That is so cool and like

0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:15.640
<v Speaker 5>the whole thing is like homage to like my side,

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:18.839
<v Speaker 5>my rageol. My mom's white, my dad's Middle Eastern, so

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 5>it's called Saffron cowboys. Saffron's the Middle Eastern.

0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:22.680
<v Speaker 8>And I've definitely heard of that.

0:36:22.880 --> 0:36:24.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's why comedy.

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 8>Oh my gosh cool, I like any like queer community

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:31.600
<v Speaker 8>building is like not something that I get a chance

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:34.080
<v Speaker 8>to do myself, but it's something I'm so passionate about

0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 8>and like excited.

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:37.680
<v Speaker 5>That's totally just so cool. Well, you should sell flowers

0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:38.920
<v Speaker 5>at a vending event.

0:36:39.040 --> 0:36:40.840
<v Speaker 8>I work in marketing for a flower brand, so I

0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 8>don't get to like actually have the product as much,

0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 8>although I like I know how to do floral arranging

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:47.840
<v Speaker 8>and cell flowers. But if you ever need a copywriter

0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 8>or like any help with brand stuff, that's like my

0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 8>kind of bread and butter.

0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:54.840
<v Speaker 8>I used to work for Tomboyax. I don't know if

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:57.440
<v Speaker 8>you're familiar with them. They're like a queer underwear brand.

0:36:58.120 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 8>Oh I do know them, Yeah, yeah, so I used

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:02.279
<v Speaker 8>to used to work in marketing for them. So, like,

0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:04.439
<v Speaker 8>marketing for queer stuff is.

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:05.880
