Vico. Hi,

0:08

I had a premonition last night,

0:10

and it told me that

0:12

today I'm going to make a match

0:15

made in heathing.

0:17

Ok Okay, that's a

0:19

lot to live up to, but let's

0:21

give.

0:22

It a go.

0:23

Now. I've got my guardian Ane just looking

0:25

out for our friend.

0:27

Here.

0:27

This is date my Hourlita verse for our

0:30

gorgeous Houri dai Le plays.

0:33

Matchmaker for our star Dator and

0:36

three.

0:36

Lucky contestants looking for some grand

0:39

motherly approval. I

0:42

am your host, Vico, This joined

0:45

by our lovely A.

0:48

Are you ready to meet our handsome main Dat.

0:50

Yeah, yes, let's do it. Yes

0:53

me.

0:54

This week's main Dat might have a little

0:56

to teach us about survival

0:59

skills.

1:00

Oh yeah.

1:00

When we asked what makes him the happiest,

1:03

he says bike, beer

1:05

and steak, short and sweet.

1:07

I like it.

1:08

Yeah, he just finished a four thousand

1:10

mile bike ride and lives a pretty

1:12

nomadic lifestyle.

1:14

I think it's time to welcome in Havier.

1:16

Ha yet, come on in Hello?

1:19

Thanks for having me.

1:21

Of course, tell us

1:23

who Javier is, Give us

1:25

your age, what sparks joy,

1:28

what makes you take? Just tell

1:30

us about your adventures? Anything laid on

1:32

us you want to know it all well.

1:34

I'm a first generation Puerto Rican

1:37

and the mainland my mother unfortunately

1:40

took us to Ohio, which was really

1:42

not the best place to go. Gotcha,

1:45

and me and my three brothers

1:47

grew up there, and since a young

1:49

age, my brother's always drode

1:51

it into me and said, you know, your mother's raising

1:54

us. As soon as you turn eighteen, you get out

1:56

of the house, you go to college, and you don't

1:58

make mom work to support you any more. And

2:00

so I was like, yes, I'm going to go to college. I'm going to do

2:02

this whole thing. And I did all that. I got

2:05

tons of scholarships. I ended up traveling

2:07

and studying in different countries, and

2:09

then traveling I just started to

2:11

realize that this whole chasing

2:14

a job that you think will bring you lots

2:16

of money and happiness wasn't doing it. Everywhere

2:19

I went, the happiest people, the people

2:21

who had the most joy, were actually living

2:24

simple lives. I fell in love with

2:26

that, and so traveling by bicycle allowed

2:28

me to travel to communities that people don't

2:30

really visit and meet and

2:33

have wonderful interactions with people.

2:35

So I became obsessed with trying

2:38

new foods and exploring new communities. You

2:40

meet everybody. You're forced to meet everybody,

2:43

so I became very social and

2:46

telling stories with people and

2:48

being invited into homes all the time. So

2:50

now, after eighteen years of cycling around the world,

2:53

I've damn near done most of it.

2:55

And that's what I was going to ask you, if I may interrupt.

2:58

You've done this around the world.

3:00

I've cycled all of North, Central and South America.

3:02

Wow, most of Europe, North

3:05

Africa, some of the Middle East, Southeast

3:08

Asia, and Iceland

3:10

and New Zealand.

3:11

Wow, to name a few.

3:14

You've definitely been everywhere.

3:16

How does your adventuring affect

3:18

your dating life?

3:19

That's the most difficult thing. Really. You

3:22

do meet solo female travelers,

3:25

but I tell you, I keep falling

3:27

for the wrong women because these

3:30

strong, independent women I meet on

3:32

the road, adventurous and

3:34

really mentally mature to be on the road

3:36

in traveling alone. I like them so much,

3:38

but they don't like men. So I'm

3:41

like, oh, anyway, I could change

3:43

your mines really, because you're like everything

3:46

I'm looking for. Nope, Nope, sorry,

3:48

I just don't. I don't like men.

3:49

Hot, damn hot, damn.

3:51

So the incredible women just happened

3:53

to be barking at the wrong tree.

3:56

Dang, that's a bummer.

3:57

There's a few of us everywhere else, are

4:01

Liva, You're putting yourself as a contestine here.

4:02

What's going on? My goodness?

4:05

Now, what exactly are

4:07

you looking for these days?

4:09

I guess those little games that we

4:11

think traditional men and women relationships

4:14

are, like, I don't like that. I

4:16

want a woman that's strong enough that I

4:18

am just not lifting her up. I'm

4:21

just kind of standing next to her.

4:23

You were raised by women, Yeah,

4:26

by my grandmother and my mother, And how was

4:28

that up bringing?

4:29

I also went to Catholic school, so there were a bunch of nuns

4:31

in the wish too. So, honestly,

4:33

because I'm the fourth and the youngest boy in

4:36

a Puerto Rican family, my grandmother and mother

4:38

told me, oh, you're going to be the priest.

4:41

They're like, well, traditionally, if

4:43

a woman has many boys, the youngest boy's

4:45

got to be the priest. So in my head when

4:47

I was a little kid, I'm like, I guess I'm going to be a priest.

4:50

I have that in my head for like a good ten years.

4:52

Yeah, that's kind of the family I grew up

4:55

in you know, crucifixes everywhere.

4:57

Oh really, Santos parties,

5:00

Yeah, candles everywhere. Yeah.

5:04

If you are with a partner

5:07

and one of you is going through

5:09

a moment of dysregulation, right,

5:11

and something like jealousy comes up, how do

5:13

you want to handle that, whether it's within yourself or

5:16

the other person.

5:17

Well, in general, I don't like conflict,

5:19

and I don't like to argue.

5:21

Now.

5:21

I do like to debate, you know. I'm

5:24

very opinionated, so I could debate about anything,

5:26

the color of a rock or anything. But

5:29

and in relationships, I walk away,

5:31

take a breather, and then come back and revisit it

5:33

as long as nobody's yelling. I was raised

5:36

by women for a reason because I had a very abusive

5:38

father. So I will not

5:40

do that. And that's a big, big red

5:43

flag for me. If somebody likes to

5:46

push your buttons to make you aggressive, I

5:48

get out of that picture and I walk away jealousy.

5:52

I really try to avoid people who

5:54

get jealoused for little things. That's a big

5:56

red flag for me, and I don't like being situations

5:59

like that.

6:00

How do you communicate your feelings?

6:01

How do you communicate your needs your ones

6:03

around a partner because we are not mind readers, all

6:06

of us, you know, amen to that.

6:07

Yeah, I try. Communication is

6:09

always something that needs to be improved. Part

6:12

of the last relationship was

6:14

because she couldn't communicate to me. We

6:16

had made an agreement. I

6:19

love beer. I'm a big beer drinker.

6:21

And I said, okay, you know what, I love beer, you

6:24

love wheat. How about I give

6:26

up beer and you give up wheat. And

6:28

we made this agreement. I didn't

6:30

know that for a whole year. She was

6:32

smoking up the whole time, and I was I

6:35

gave up beer and we'd go out and I

6:37

was like, oh my god, drinking water,

6:40

drinking water. I looked good. I lost a lot

6:42

of weight. But then one morning I found out

6:44

she was still smoking, and that just crushed me.

6:46

And I'm like, you've been smoking every single day the

6:49

whole time. That relationship ended because of

6:51

that.

6:51

How long were you together before and a half years?

6:53

It's two and a half years. And then because of that

6:56

what drew you to her? Originally?

6:59

Actually I had a friend

7:01

MATCHMAK for us. So it's

7:04

very difficult for me to meet people because

7:07

of my lifestyle. And you know, I like to travel.

7:09

That was the last one ten years ago. Yeah,

7:11

copy that.

7:12

Wow, that's a long time, bro.

7:14

My friend said, I'm sick and tired of you being single.

7:17

You got to meet my friend and then so

7:20

it was kind of like okay, yeah, sure. She lived

7:22

in Colorado and I was living in San Francisco

7:24

at that time, and so after talking

7:27

for a while, I said, you know what, I'm going to ride my bike

7:29

to go on a date with you. And she was

7:31

like, I'm in Denver, what do you mean. I

7:33

go, yeah, I'll be there in two and a half weeks. So

7:35

I left San Francisco and I rode my bike two and

7:37

a half weeks and I got to Denver and went on

7:39

a date with her, and she was blown away that I rode my bike

7:42

a thousand, two hundred miles to see her. And

7:44

then we started dating. But

7:47

I tried to lay it all out there. I told

7:49

her in the beginning, I'll never give you a

7:51

ring, but I will build you a house.

7:54

And so that was my kind of hint

7:56

of how I would propose. So

7:59

for my birthday, I flew her

8:01

back to Colorado and I had arranged

8:03

to go see all these properties and

8:05

we found one hundred and twenty acres and

8:08

it was beautiful, and that real estate agent

8:10

took us out there and there's no house. It was

8:12

just property and there was woods and

8:14

hills. And I looked there and I said,

8:17

come over here. And I grabbed her and I said, could

8:19

you envision you and I sitting

8:21

on a porch right here on a

8:23

house that I build, with our children running

8:26

around the yard. And this was her response.

8:29

I guess I was proposed,

8:31

why didn't you buy those hundred and twenty acres and

8:33

build yourself a home?

8:35

Well, you know there's

8:37

something about people living in the woods and

8:39

writing manifestos a load of the

8:41

woods. I really want to become one

8:43

of those guys.

8:45

So it's better if you're own, daid Maya Wilita.

8:49

Yes, I'm here in La.

8:50

I'm like you could do the hard work.

8:52

It maybe make things a little bit easier.

8:56

With that said, I think

8:58

Liliana is definitely ready to

9:00

find that adventurer, that

9:03

down for anything, woman who

9:05

can keep up with you, or

9:07

maybe you'll have to keep up with her. So let's

9:10

bring in the contestants, shall we.

9:12

We'll be back after the break. Welcome

9:18

back today. Malani the first

9:22

and now it's time to bring in our

9:24

contestants.

Hello, Charie, Shannaka and

9:27

II le.

9:30

Hi.

9:31

Hello.

9:31

First up, we have Sari.

9:33

Sari is from Australia

9:35

and has moved around a lot all

9:38

of her life. She credits her upbringing

9:40

with why she is able to be so flexible

9:43

with change. Her red flags

9:45

are people who don't listen and are too

9:47

self involved. Excellent red

9:49

flags. She's a virgo, but she

9:52

says don't hate her for ed. She

9:54

has a lot of variety in her charge. Welcome

9:56

Shari, Yeah.

10:01

Anytime, anytime.

10:02

Who's next?

10:03

Mevi go.

10:03

Next, we have Eileen.

10:05

Eileen is a pattern maker and has

10:07

a strong passion for sustainable

10:10

fashion. She has three passports

10:12

oh and has said if

10:14

she wasn't working at nine to five, she

10:16

would move to a new place.

10:18

Every three months. Hello Eileen.

10:21

Hi, And

10:25

last, but.

10:26

Not least, we have Shaunaka.

10:28

Shannika's friends would say she is either

10:30

one hundred year old grandmother.

10:32

Or she is crazy and wild. She

10:34

prides herself on.

10:35

Being a loyal friend and is a bit of a footy,

10:37

always looking to.

10:39

Try a new restaurant. Meet Shaannaka.

10:41

Hello, Hi, Hello,

10:45

my beautiful Nia. That's I'm really excited

10:47

that you're all here today. So let's get

10:49

playing.

10:49

Eh, Yes, thank you for joining

10:52

us.

10:52

So let's break the ice with you three.

10:55

We are going to ask some

10:58

rapid fire Russians.

11:01

Leanna wanting the first one.

11:03

Yes, let's do this now here

11:05

we go, Ladies, pay attention. What three

11:07

things would you bring with you to a deserted

11:10

island? M m mmm interesting,

11:13

Shanika.

11:15

One of those global phones get my

11:17

call from anywhere. Something

11:19

to start fire with so that I can cook

11:21

some food while i'm there, And

11:24

something a purify water.

11:26

Well, nice, excellent, Chari.

11:29

What are your objects?

11:31

So I am a bit

11:34

of a forest fairy, so I think

11:36

i'd fare pretty well on an island by myself.

11:39

And I often daydream about

11:41

escaping society and living in the jungle, so

11:43

this is a dream to me. That's

11:45

something that I would miss. There would be

11:48

writing. I love writing, so i'd want,

11:50

you know, a never ending pen and

11:53

paper. And I

11:55

guess i'd bring a hat because I tend to

11:57

have a son quota. I get over the sun

11:59

at certain times. Not on an island,

12:01

I think there'd be plenty of it.

12:03

Very very nice, very interesting,

12:05

Eleen, what are your three items.

12:07

I would definitely do a good pair of shoes,

12:11

probably a book to read, big one,

12:14

and plenty of snacks.

12:15

Plenty of snacks, very very nice. All

12:17

right, my time for a rabbit.

12:19

Good question.

12:21

What is your favorite cheap

12:23

thrill, for instance a

12:25

crown trap from Taco Bell? And

12:28

what is your favorite thing to splurge on, for instance

12:31

a deep tissue massage. I

12:33

see shore you being like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, do you

12:35

want to answer first?

12:36

Yeah.

12:37

I will absolutely sledge on a message,

12:39

and I consider it a need, It's

12:42

a necessity in life. And what's

12:44

a chape throw?

12:45

Wait?

12:47

My chape throw is I don't pay

12:50

for it, but I will take fruit off the trees.

12:52

I say when I go.

12:53

Walking, incredible, true

12:55

fairy, a true girl

13:00

Shaunago, What are yours?

13:02

A cheap thrill is just a good girl's night, Bring

13:05

a cheap bottle of wine, bring some snacks, and that's

13:07

like an easy six of good

13:10

times and you have to break the bank.

13:12

Splurging is travel.

13:13

I think that there's so much of the world to see,

13:15

and there's so many places to go, and I think it's really important

13:17

to take that time and explore the places.

13:20

Eileen, what are yours cheap

13:22

thrill?

13:23

I would probably just say a spontaneous hike.

13:25

With so much opportunity here in La to you

13:27

know, either do a day trip, go really close,

13:30

or even just drive a little outside the city.

13:32

So that's pretty easy as far as a splurge.

13:35

I often take Shaunaka's

13:37

answer to it's always travel.

13:39

That's always number one.

13:41

Hell's yeah, hellsy, yeah.

13:42

Fun, Helena, what you got, I'm going there with

13:45

these ladies. Okay,

13:47

here we go. If you were to have dinner with anyone

13:49

dead or alive, who would that

13:51

be?

13:53

And I see a lot of wonderful reactions

13:55

with this.

13:57

When do you think I lean?

13:59

My answer is my grandpa, who isn't

14:01

with us anymore, but I miss him. And

14:04

uh yeah, always really good conversation,

14:07

really mind enhancing.

14:09

So beautiful answer, Shania.

14:12

I'll get emotional too. My

14:14

dad passed in twenty twelve, so it'll

14:16

be that I'm about to just like get

14:18

dinner with them again and catch up on the past.

14:20

So yeah, that would be that would be mine.

14:23

Sure, I'm sorry

14:26

to both of you. I've experienced

14:28

a lot of death in my life, so I'd feel

14:30

wrong just choosing one of them. So I'm going to

14:32

go with a world leader, like

14:34

a life world leader, because

14:36

I would just love to know what is

14:39

going through all of your heads, you know, like

14:41

I would just be able to I would just really

14:43

like to question them and maybe influence

14:45

them a.

14:46

Little, you know, that would be good.

14:48

Do you have any world leader that comes to

14:50

mind?

14:50

Give me any of them? I mean, there's

14:53

too many to name. Really.

14:54

I feel that they are many world leaders who

14:56

need a little chunk land.

14:58

They all need a little chang lad talking

15:00

about.

15:01

All right, I had last one.

15:03

Would you rather live in a world

15:05

without music or one

15:08

without internet?

15:10

Wow?

15:11

Shanny, go what is yours?

15:12

This is so hard?

15:14

Is there music on the internet? Like I thought Spotify?

15:19

I see you trying to be like, let me just like do

15:22

it one. Let me break the system here.

15:25

I'm going to do that because music is

15:27

so important to mean, I love music. I

15:29

love going to shows. That's like a big thing for

15:32

me. But I would not be able to get anywhere

15:34

without the Internet. It's my smartphone is my map.

15:36

It's like I always lost. So I'm

15:38

like I need that. I need to stay connected with people.

15:41

So I'd have to say no music. I'd

15:43

have to pick the Internet.

15:45

Okay, very nice, Sure,

15:47

what's yours?

15:49

Fatally a world? Good night Internet. I mean

15:51

I've day dreamed about living in the forest, so yeah,

15:55

I just I love music and I think

15:57

it's such a an essential

15:59

part of souls, you know. So

16:01

yeah, that was an easy choice for Meleen,

16:05

Eileen.

16:05

What's yours?

16:07

I couldn't live in a world without It's a

16:09

tough one, but without internet, because we

16:11

have so much access to information. Also,

16:14

I am by myself here in La, so

16:16

that's how I access my family most of the time.

16:19

So that would just be that alone is the

16:21

sole reason.

16:22

All right, thank you

16:24

all for your ladies rapid fire

16:26

responses.

16:27

Dare I say they were fire?

16:31

Anyway, It's

16:33

time to play another game now before

16:36

I will lead that decides who she wants

16:38

to take on a second date. This

16:41

game is going to be a lot by

16:43

see, we are going

16:45

to be looking.

16:46

For your hot takes.

16:49

Maybe it'll win, I will eat this heart, or

16:51

maybe it'll be that hill

16:54

you would die on.

16:56

Give us an example.

16:58

Okay, here's my hot takee It's

17:00

okay to wear socks while you're having

17:02

sex.

17:04

I read like I mean that it's better.

17:05

It definitely is better.

17:07

Because it keeps your feet warm and it makes

17:09

everything feel warmer and

17:12

hell's with better orgasms.

17:14

Anyway, that's my hot.

17:15

Take, My hot takes, hotake sex anyway

17:17

it comes. Which

17:21

time is that happening?

17:22

All right?

17:23

Oh the calendar?

17:25

Well there you go, Shau, I got tell us what

17:28

your hotache is?

17:29

Okay, so I will say bloody Mary's

17:31

at night, order at the bar at night, like

17:33

what's wrong with you? And

17:36

so I think that's kind of a weird thing that people are like not

17:39

the right time the day.

17:40

To drink that it's just like like a spa show but

17:42

with a little vodka.

17:43

I got you salad in a glass.

17:47

Show you what's your hotache?

17:48

I think you should just let spiders live

17:50

in your house. Does that count.

17:53

As they save my little plant babies from

17:55

all these little mosquitos and shit and like and

17:57

flies? So yeah, I'm there with you,

18:00

Eileen. What's your heart take?

18:02

I think we should just skip the election this

18:04

year because.

18:05

There's no good answer anyway.

18:07

Here here we're

18:10

all clapping, We're all

18:12

does Brett Lena, I feel

18:15

like you.

18:15

Have another heart take on your chest.

18:17

Well, something we like talking about on

18:19

the show is astrology

18:23

and we both put a lot of faith in the stars,

18:26

but not everyone does, so

18:29

Hot Tache, is astrology really

18:31

that helpful in the German and relationship compatibility?

18:35

Shari? What do you think?

18:36

I don't buy into it? I

18:38

mean I know a lot about it

18:41

for someone who doesn't buy into it. And

18:43

when I had my chart read by a friend,

18:46

I was kind of blown away by

18:48

how much was in my chart that was relevant to my

18:50

life. It was like, show me where it says that I don't

18:52

believe you. So I

18:54

guess I'm open, but skeptical.

18:57

In true virgo form trying

19:02

to go out. Are your thoughts on that?

19:04

Okay, you're not going to like my answer.

19:07

You never know.

19:08

I don't buy into astrology.

19:11

I think it excuses bad behavior,

19:13

especially can be from an aries, because I don't feel like I

19:16

fit in aries at all. So because I don't

19:18

feel like I fit it, I think a lot of people use

19:20

it as an excuse like, oh, I'm sorry, I

19:22

like acted that way and it was hot headed and crazy.

19:24

It's because I'm an Aries.

19:25

I'm like, no, girl, you're just a bit like.

19:27

It's not because you're astrology sign, like

19:30

you're just not a nice person. So don't

19:32

blame it on like marking retrograde

19:34

or the plans are misaligned.

19:35

No, so it doesn't matter when you were born. You

19:37

are a Taurus.

19:42

Oh, I love that. I love that answer. That's

19:44

fucking great, Eileen, what are your thoughts?

19:47

I agree with the other two ladies.

19:50

When I do kind of read my

19:52

chart, I kind of agree with certain things. But

19:54

I also can't, you know, determine decisions

19:57

in my life based on what I'm reading.

19:59

I'd rather go off of like my emotions and what

20:01

I think is right for me.

20:02

So I think there's something there obviously

20:05

is pretty old and in play system, but it's

20:07

not for me.

20:08

Here here, here, here. I love that.

20:10

That's great, Vico, it is your opinion. I

20:14

knew you were going to have to go there.

20:16

I do enjoy substantially

20:19

astrology, but I don't take just my son's sign

20:21

as a telltale. I'm a Libra, but I'm not

20:23

just a Libra. There's other elements in me that

20:25

like play with each other. I have my sad

20:27

rising, my scorpio moon, my virgo venus.

20:30

Everything communicates to each other and encompasses

20:32

like who I am as a person.

20:34

But again, I similarly do.

20:36

Agree that people that are always using

20:39

these things as a crutch to excuse their

20:41

own behavior, that's never okay. So

20:44

like, I very much sympathize

20:46

with these things, and I also love

20:49

to just, you know, lean a little bit. And I'm like,

20:51

oh, I'm a flirt because I'm a libra, but

20:53

I'm just.

20:53

A fuck a

20:56

great description of a libra.

20:59

And well, I think we've come to that point.

21:03

This part is always hard, but thankfully,

21:05

I don't know.

21:08

It Isa's duty

21:11

to send one of these cuts

21:14

down the road.

21:16

You are each so adorable.

21:19

However, at the end of the day, Alita

21:21

has to look at what our main

21:23

data is interested in and which

21:26

of the three of you, which two of

21:28

the three of you will be a little more compatible.

21:31

And we still have a lot more questions to ask before

21:33

the end of today's show. Anyway,

21:36

and for that reason alone, the

21:38

one person that will be leaving us today

21:41

is Shanic.

21:44

My goodness, thank you, think you,

21:46

think you, thank you, thank you so much.

21:49

We have such a wonderful energy. We

21:51

really appreciate you.

21:53

Than bye

21:57

so much.

22:00

We'll be back after the break. Welcome

22:06

back today, my holy the first.

22:10

Well, here we are, the two of you now

22:12

are going to have a nice little one on one a

22:14

little so all

22:17

right, Suri, welcome to.

22:21

Take it away.

22:23

Hi, my love, how are you today?

22:24

Oh?

22:25

Good?

22:25

Thanks?

22:25

This is fun. How are you?

22:27

I'm doing good, so glad to see you. I'm

22:29

gonna ask you a couple of questions. Just open

22:32

up your heart in your mind and tell me how it is.

22:34

Okay, what kind of people

22:36

do you usually date?

22:38

I usually date people

22:40

who don't have homes. It's

22:42

not intentional, but I've dated a

22:44

guy who lived in his van, a guy who lived

22:46

in his car, another guy who

22:49

was traveling well, didn't have a heart like

22:51

it just seems to be a pattern.

22:52

Okay, And that didn't bother you?

22:54

No, why? What

22:56

is the reason?

22:57

Money can change in a heartbeat? So it's

23:00

not the reason that I would be going for

23:02

someone. And it was, I guess because I'm

23:04

such a free spirited

23:06

person myself. I understood the hippie

23:08

lifestyle and the nomad lifestyle.

23:11

Tell me about your cooking

23:13

expertise.

23:14

Yeah, I love to cook. I

23:17

enjoy it a lot. I will say, though,

23:20

that I don't cook meat because I don't

23:22

eat meat. So that can be a deal

23:24

breakup for some people.

23:26

But Let's say that you are with your

23:28

partner at home and you're making dinner

23:30

and he would like to have a steak. It's

23:33

okay if he makes it himself.

23:34

He has to do it himself.

23:35

Yeah, okay, all right. So

23:38

when was your last romantic experience

23:41

and how long was it it ended?

23:43

I'd say two years ago. We

23:45

were very incompatible and so

23:48

it was a bit of a painful breakup. It's

23:50

funny because I'm such an easy going,

23:53

will accept everyone and anyone

23:55

kind of person. I have so many friends

23:57

that I maybe disagree with on very

23:59

fundamental things, also some that

24:01

I agree with. But I've never ever thought

24:04

when it comes to relationships and maybe I should take a

24:06

different approach. It's only since that relationship

24:09

that I've realized, oh, maybe certain

24:11

things do need to be the same. You do need

24:13

to look for things that are compatible or it's

24:15

just never going to work.

24:17

What are you specifically looking for in a man?

24:20

I want someone who we can make each

24:22

other laugh. That's really important to me. I

24:25

want honesty, and I want

24:27

someone who is, you know, compassionate

24:29

and kind and empathetic.

24:31

Are you willing to go on adventures,

24:33

travel, do all kinds of things?

24:35

Yeah, I love adventures. I love travel. I

24:38

am speaking of adventures like I've done

24:40

stunt school. I learnt a paraglide

24:43

solo. I love hiking.

24:46

I've jumped off clifts into oceans.

24:48

My mother and I a deal when I was young

24:51

that I had to stop telling her before the fact.

24:53

I had to tell her after I was safe,

24:56

so that she didn't have to worry.

24:58

That is so sweet. Well, thank you,

25:00

Shari. That's really sweet of you. We enjoy

25:03

your answers and let's see what happens.

25:05

Yes, thank you, SCHERI, thank

25:07

you, thank you.

25:10

Fantastic a Walita, take it away

25:12

with your gofen.

25:16

How are you, my love?

25:18

I'm great?

25:18

How are you, a Belita?

25:19

I am doing great. This is getting tougher

25:22

by the second. So just open

25:24

up your heart in your mind and be honest about your answers

25:26

and let's see where all this goes. Okay, now

25:29

you were you were born in Germany.

25:32

I was born in Germany.

25:33

Yeah?

25:33

Did you live there for any period of time?

25:37

Yes?

25:37

So.

25:38

My mom's German, my dad's Canadian Americans.

25:40

I kind of grew up with all three. We

25:42

moved around a lot as a kid, so I lived

25:45

on three different continents before I was like three,

25:49

so yeah,

25:51

but I grew up in Germany.

25:52

That's my hometown.

25:54

Most of my you know, my mom's side of the family is all

25:56

there, but that's kind of what I consider my hometown is in Germany.

25:58

So I speak fluent German.

26:00

Have you ever dated a German Man?

26:03

I have, but it's been a while. I've been here

26:05

for thirteen years, so okay.

26:07

So what is it that you're looking for in a relationship.

26:10

I think just a partner,

26:13

like an equal, someone who likes to have

26:15

fun. I definitely do love my downtime,

26:17

but I also really like to make

26:20

the most out of every day. So I really would

26:22

like a partner who kind of feels the same way.

26:24

You know, you wake up in the more it's like what can

26:27

we do today or how can we make the most of our

26:29

time?

26:29

Okay, so you are ready for a relationship,

26:32

absolutely? What is love to you?

26:35

I'm kind of rational when it comes to love.

26:37

I try to be a little bit more down to her, so you know, I'm not

26:39

the kind of person who gets swept away.

26:41

Give me two qualities you're looking for in a

26:43

man, a.

26:44

Good sense of humor and

26:48

someone who can be honest.

26:50

That's very important, isn't it. Well,

26:52

thank you so much, sweetheart, it's very nice

26:54

answers. And let's see where we go from here,

26:57

Okay, perfect I

26:59

wanted to Yeah.

27:00

Is it time for us to let them know our

27:02

secret?

27:03

God, I've been waiting forever. I

27:05

know, I know them, let's tell them.

27:09

Well, so a little did you know that

27:11

our main data has been listening

27:14

this whole time. He's been lurking

27:16

in their shadows, looking at everything

27:18

and listening to all.

27:20

Here's the thing, though, Alita might.

27:21

Have an idea of who she likes for

27:23

him, but we're gonna have you step out for a second

27:25

to see we have.

27:26

A unanimous decision.

27:27

In the meantime, muchisimas

27:29

grasias to the both of you, Bess,

27:33

truly, it's been so much fun.

27:35

Thank you so much for playing. We'll deliberate and

27:37

then we'll bring you back in into the damn thing. Yes

27:42

havit, come on in for a hot second.

27:44

And first impressions

27:46

about these two now that we

27:49

have gotten to know them a little bit more.

27:51

Shari has that nomad lifestyle

27:53

she mentioned certain key words. She is

27:56

really free flowing and is kind

27:58

of creative. I think the biggest thing is

28:01

this vegan thing. I actually

28:03

do hunt and on

28:05

the island I would definitely be grabbing animals.

28:09

But she's willing to let you cook your own meat.

28:11

Yeah that's true.

28:12

And since you are very much in the strong

28:14

belief that you each stand on your own

28:16

and you share whatever lifestyle

28:19

you each have, well then good we can do that, right

28:21

Yeah.

28:21

Yeah, I mean I did it brings before

28:24

Eileen. I actually really like Germany.

28:27

I go to Germany often for the beer festivals.

28:30

That's cool, that's interesting, And that she has

28:32

different passports that's actually really

28:34

nice. If I'm looking forward to like children

28:37

and a family, Canada and Germany

28:39

those are great places to live. Actually, those are the key

28:41

things I've jotted down.

28:43

All right, Well, thank you.

28:45

Me and I would are going to process

28:47

everything that's happened, and we're going to bring

28:50

them both and make a choice.

28:51

Yeah yeah, let you know, soon.

28:56

Will leave that talk to me.

28:58

My opinion would be, what

29:00

is yours?

29:02

It's a tough one. It's a tough one.

29:03

I feel like I know that he says he wants someone

29:05

has independent, someone that's like in

29:07

doing their own and all that does. But there's always that like

29:10

mentioned of, like I want to build a home, right. I

29:12

think Eileen has a bit more of that, right,

29:14

But she's also independent, is doing her

29:16

own thing. So I think that Shari is

29:19

wonderful, is amazing. I do

29:21

think that like they're both so independent that they're

29:23

just gonna not really.

29:26

Be independent of each other.

29:27

Yeah, it might be fun for a couple

29:29

of trips here and there, absolutely, but then

29:31

when it comes to like building home and building

29:33

house, I think that's not something that might.

29:36

Yeah, but I think they're both great truly dumb for

29:38

either.

29:39

Oh so let me think about it for another

29:41

thirty seconds.

29:42

Sounds good.

29:43

Let's do that.

29:47

Okay, So the

29:50

jury has a verdict.

29:52

Thank you both so much for your wonderful answers,

29:54

for being so candid and earnest and really

29:56

putting it out there.

29:58

That listen, ladies, you

30:00

are both amazing, fantastic,

30:02

out of this world a little different.

30:05

But in this case, I needed to look at

30:07

what our main data wants, needs

30:09

and is looking forward to, and for

30:12

that reason alone, the

30:14

person who will be with our main

30:16

data today is Eileen.

30:21

Wow.

30:22

Yes, sorry, I

30:24

had a lot of fun. Thank you so much.

30:26

Oh, thank you thank you so much.

30:28

You bye b bye.

30:31

Well without further

30:33

ado, Eileen neat

30:36

Havierer javierre come on and

30:38

turn your camera Hellovier,

30:43

Hello Javier.

30:44

What were your first impressions?

30:46

I love that you're German and Canadian.

30:49

I go to Octoberfest a lot.

30:51

I've worked Octoberfest, so I think that's

30:54

kind of cool.

30:55

Wow, can you carry all the beers?

30:57

I can only carry six more than I can carry.

31:00

I actually have leto housin right here in La

31:02

and I.

31:02

Haven't done this.

31:04

Yeah. Oh, okay, yeah,

31:06

you seemed adventurous and willing to

31:08

be spontaneous and creative. So

31:10

that's what I noticed.

31:12

Okay, you too.

31:14

We know there's a lot to talk about,

31:17

so we're going to send you off on.

31:18

Your little virtual date.

31:22

We're going to turn it on to Eeps's drums.

31:24

So hard.

31:27

So I moved to La. I've only been here a

31:30

month. No way, I moved from San Francisco.

31:32

Okay, I love San Francisco.

31:34

My parents lived in San Jose for years,

31:36

so I'm very familiar.

31:38

I'm still learning the area. I'm

31:41

a really big cyclist, so

31:43

I actually ride my bicycle around the world.

31:45

No Way, I

31:47

have a bicycle.

31:48

You do good.

31:49

I bought it off an old lady in twenty twenty when

31:51

the pandemic hit and it has a basket.

31:53

But I do love my bike well.

31:55

On social media, I'm hungry guy

31:57

on a bicyclea you

31:59

can see tons of my photos of traveling.

32:02

I do love to eat and I love to cook.

32:04

I love to eat.

32:06

I do hunt too, to eat it not

32:08

for the trophy.

32:09

Oh wow. My family in Germany

32:11

they're butchers. My cousins they're

32:13

butchers.

32:14

Yeah, and so they hunt and stuff and then

32:16

like the meat was provided by my mom's

32:18

best friend's farm.

32:19

Great. You can check out my Instagram

32:22

profile I just added to I've just

32:24

been adding tons of pictures of my travels and

32:26

food that I eat or things that I

32:28

yeah, I do.

32:30

Cool.

32:30

Yeah, that pretty much tells my whole life story since twenty

32:33

seventeen.

32:33

Nice. That sounds cool. Welcome

32:37

to La Yeah.

32:38

It's it's uh, there's

32:40

so much to see. It's there's a lot of driving around here.

32:42

So but yeah, I'm definitely up for like

32:44

going on parking, taking the bikes out, and then

32:46

cycling a trail. If you're down for that,

32:49

that'd be kind of cool.

32:50

I'm definitely down for that.

32:51

Yeah.

32:51

So my bike it's an older it's like nineties,

32:53

but it's a mountain bike hybrid.

32:55

It's not like a road bike or anything.

32:57

I may have a bike that you could use.

33:05

Ah Okay, that is all

33:07

the heat we could handle this week.

33:09
