1:10

running a small business on Amazon, but he recently

1:12

moved to Los Angeles to pursue his

1:14

true passion, which is singing,

1:24

All right, So let's meet Joel.

1:26

He love Joel.

1:28

Hey guys, oh my goodness.

1:31

For those of you listening, Joela's Puerto Rican

1:34

just like me. So I am thrilled

1:36

to find you a glorious match.

1:38

Because Puerto Ricans we have a

1:41

lot of energy. You have to keep

1:43

up with us, otherwise you are off

1:45

the wagon. I'm so sorry.

1:47

Well, I think we need to mention where Awelita is

1:49

from because it also starts

1:51

with a P.

1:53

I am from Peru.

1:56

Yeah, okay, fair

1:59

Peruvians.

2:00

So I get it.

2:01

I get it. Is

2:03

in Latina idiena mortosa. So I'm here

2:06

to make sure that not only I give you a

2:08

little love, but that we find you

2:10

that perfect love if that is what you want.

2:12

Oh, and that means so much to me.

2:14

I love a wilitas and I heard you were

2:16

married. You went around the block five times, so I know

2:19

you got a lot of advice from me.

2:20

Yeah, I traveled quite a few miles.

2:23

I did, I did. But let's

2:25

start. Let me ask you one little thing. What

2:28

would your friends say makes you a hot cat?

2:32

They say that I'm spicy, that I'm sarcastic,

2:35

and sassy. You know, who doesn't want

2:37

a little spice here and there. I'm

2:39

definitely not boring. They

2:41

never know what to expect with me, even my friends

2:43

that have known me for decades now, so

2:46

you know, I like to keep people on their feet, family,

2:48

friends and partners, so they would

2:50

definitely say that.

2:52

Okay, Joelle, tell

2:54

us why you're here? Are you looking

2:56

for love? Are you looking for your next fling? And

3:00

what has dating been.

3:01

Like for you lately?

3:03

So right now? I mean I've

3:05

always had the I'm looking for whatever comes my

3:07

way kind of vibe. You know, I go on energies

3:09

and just whatever the universe wants to present

3:11

to me. I'm always here for a good time. But

3:14

you know, once you start getting up there,

3:16

you're like, okay, well.

3:17

I don't really want to go out that much. You know, I

3:20

don't really have the energy to be

3:22

out at the clouds.

3:23

Been socializing so much, you know,

3:26

so I kind of want to, you know, slow it down and find

3:28

a life partner. Really, I mean, I want to find somebody

3:30

that I can share my days.

3:32

With and grow old with and you know,

3:34

just vibe with. Take some

3:36

of the lower off of me, do something for me.

3:39

You know, I've been independent and thing for a while. So

3:41

yeah, I just I just want a life partner. And what was the

3:43

second part of your.

3:44

Question, How has dating been like

3:46

for you lately?

3:47

It's kind of all over the place.

3:49

I feel like people don't know what they want

3:51

or how to communicate more

3:53

importantly, what they want. And

3:56

that's always been a big strength of mine. If I'm

3:58

upset, I'm going to tell you. If if you did something that

4:00

irritated me, I'm going to tell you. And not

4:03

everybody is liked that. People like to play games,

4:05

people like to not be authentic

4:07

and in their emotions in the moment, and I feel

4:09

like that's been a huge problem with me dating.

4:11

It's just having people just be honest about

4:14

what they want and how they feel.

4:16

I'm curious, when did this last relationship

4:18

end?

4:19

And then what were some things that you enjoyed about the relationship

4:22

and the things that moving forward You're like, actually, now

4:24

that I've seen that, I don't want that.

4:26

Yeah.

4:26

So we dated in two separate occasions for

4:29

a little bit over a year.

4:31

And be able to solve sid answer gorgeous.

4:33

It was Dominicans, and you know, we

4:36

had similar personalities and passions.

4:39

You know, he was very family oriented, which

4:41

I loved. So those were the traits

4:43

that I liked. But the communication was

4:45

just a huge issue for us. You know, he

4:48

shut down when I, as a Puerto Rican, would

4:50

get like a tone or would.

4:51

Get a little bit high in my delivery,

4:54

would get a little bit of set and passionate

4:58

just like Gever. Over hip, he would

5:01

shut down.

5:02

And so that really didn't work for me because

5:04

I'm like, Okay, this is just me showing passion

5:06

and emotion and saying like hey, listen to me,

5:08

and he's like, no.

5:10

He never gave you a reason why he reacted

5:12

that way.

5:13

His parents used to argue when they were

5:15

when he was younger, and it was like a

5:17

trigger for him.

5:18

He would close up right after.

5:20

And those are the little cultural barriers

5:22

that we try and break right little

5:25

by little. But everyone needs to do their

5:27

own therapy before they get into a relationship

5:30

so that everything works out.

5:32

Now, with that, how do you envision

5:34

an ideal conflict management

5:37

and repair in a future relationship?

5:39

Oof, that's a deep one. I

5:41

would say both parties just have to be open

5:44

to be uncomfortable. As much as

5:46

it's my defense mechanism to get

5:48

loud and to get angry and.

5:50

To start not yelling, but just you know,

5:52

like being upset.

5:54

I have to learn that if that trigger somebody, I need

5:56

to bring it down and

5:58

that person needs to learn, Oh hey, he's working

6:00

on not getting so aggravated

6:03

and loud.

6:04

So if he does it once or let

6:06

me just bring him down, let me not shut down.

6:08

It'll compromise.

6:09

Have you, you know, been Puerto Rican and

6:11

being a big family person, like, have you

6:14

received any advice from like your parents or you're alitos,

6:16

you're Alita's you.

6:18

Know, it's it's sad because I haven't been able

6:20

to come out or open up to my Mayaguela,

6:23

which I'm super close with her. We actually took

6:25

a trip right before I moved to La I told her, Alita,

6:27

where do you want to go? Take a place anywhere

6:30

in the world, and she told me Canada. So we went to Canada,

6:32

me and her, just me and Mawalita.

6:33

We went to Canada.

6:35

You know, we have a great relationship. But you

6:37

know she's super Cristiana and

6:39

pente coo style and so.

6:41

You know she's older wife. Put

6:44

that on her heart?

6:45

Is she if you don't mind she turned ninety

6:47

in March, God bless, so she's a pot.

6:50

Does she know in her heart of hearts?

6:53

I don't. That's such a loaded question because everyone's

6:55

like, Oh, she knows, but I don't think she does.

6:58

I don't think she does.

6:59

But she loves you anyway, right, no

7:01

matter what good or bad,

7:04

sad or happy, she always loves you.

7:06

Yeah.

7:06

No, we have.

7:07

The moments we do have together are special. I'm

7:09

gonna go see her soon, so it's.

7:11

A working relationship. But I don't know if I'm gonna dump that

7:13

on her. But you know, my family

7:15

dynamic has been great. My parents have been together thirty

7:18

nine years. Wow, So they've been together

7:20

for a while. I've been a great example of going through

7:22

the ups and downs and learning that

7:24

communication vocabulary.

7:26

You know, They've been a great example.

7:28

Let's talk a little bit about what turns you on,

7:31

and let's also talk about your singing

7:33

career. How has your love of singing

7:35

workdown in your life? And do you

7:37

write love songs?

7:39

I do, so I'm in my sad

7:41

boy emost stage right now, so I'm writing

7:43

a lot about write the absence of love in my

7:46

life and heartbreak and pooling from that it's

7:48

my passion, It's what I will die

7:51

doing. I love it.

7:52

I've been doing it ever since I was young.

7:54

Is that your style like gramantic balader? Are you more

7:57

like you know sadsaa chatam it

7:59

ain't like? What's your style of expressing?

8:02

These love songs and these like heartbreak

8:04

songs?

8:05

So funny enough. I haven't really gone into

8:07

the Spanish too much.

8:08

I did a hook for a Spanish

8:11

song called video and it's like a

8:13

Spanglish song love, but

8:16

no I do pop an R and B in English.

8:18

You okay, let's see.

8:20

You said that you're looking for that one person

8:23

that you growled with, that you grow

8:25

alongside with. What are your thoughts

8:27

on an open relationship dynamic?

8:29

Do you want to stick to monogamy purely? What are

8:32

you open to and what are you like?

8:33

Actually?

8:34

No o, I

8:37

think I would like to have a foundation with one

8:39

person before I open it up for sure,

8:41

just to know what I'm getting into, know what I got just

8:43

with that person. If that person in

8:45

the future, if I in the future want to open it up, feel

8:47

and happy, feel and satisfied through open communication.

8:51

Do you want to have kids.

8:53

I'd love to have kids, but I.

8:54

Feel like I'm getting older and I look at my relationship

8:57

with my dad and him getting on roller coasters

8:59

with me and playing sports with me, and you

9:01

know, just having that bond

9:03

where he was able to move,

9:06

you know, and now he's getting older and now it's

9:08

restricting. I don't know if I want to. I would

9:10

like to offer a lot of.

9:11

That to my children, and when you're getting older, that's just not

9:13

realistic anymore. So I want them if they.

9:16

Love you are thirty two, I

9:19

just say, I know it is done horming.

9:22

No, I'll go and tell you.

9:23

It's open door, open, hard open

9:26

time to find exactly what you want

9:28

in life.

9:29

Of course, we're gonna help you from the beginning. The rest is

9:31

up to you.

9:32

Okay, I'm gonna keep that in mind. Be open, don't

9:34

be so critical.

9:36

No, No, this one over here runs

9:38

every day. It runs more than I do. At this point, I feel

9:40

like.

9:41

I just haven't found a guiy to run after these days.

9:45

But I'm working on he you you know

9:47

you have an uncle or you know, just keep

9:50

that in mind. From your number

9:53

no goes? What is your major? No

9:56

goo?

9:56

Yeah, green flags and red flags, just

9:59

like if.

9:59

You guys are sitting with somebody or talking to somebody.

10:01

And they're boring or they're

10:04

not laughing or smiling, if

10:07

they're too uptight, then that's

10:09

not a thing.

10:10

I need to be able to laugh with somebody.

10:11

I need to be able to banter and just talk about

10:14

random stuff and go off on tangents, because

10:16

I go on a lot of tangents.

10:18

What would be like major turn

10:20

offs, like the thing that it's going to be like, oh,

10:22

this is a deal breaker for me.

10:24

They don't like dogs? Mm hmm, I

10:26

no, no, I mean I get along

10:28

with so many people, so I just need somebody that's funny.

10:31

So if they're not funny, or if they're not they don't have a sense

10:33

of humor, then it's just like I can't

10:35

live that life.

10:36

What would be your type?

10:38

Like physically, I like usually the guys

10:41

that are like eye level or up.

10:43

I like thicker guys honestly, Like I've done

10:45

the whole fit thing, but I like a guy with some meat

10:47

on his bones, even though I'm flak etho. But

10:50

the people that I have dated and that it's worked with aren't

10:52

so body conscious or thick conscious.

10:55

That's a big thing for me. Like if

10:57

you are like a meatthead

10:59

and you need to go like.

11:01

Seven days a week to the gym, and

11:03

you don't eat like chips and

11:05

cookies when you want to because of your

11:07

like I can't.

11:08

That's exhaust m h.

11:10

You mentioned like when you were describing some of

11:12

the people that like you've dated and it worked, Like what

11:14

was that thing that worked?

11:16

What were those moments that you were like, Oh, this really works

11:18

for me.

11:19

I think passive people I get

11:21

along with pretty well, like people that

11:23

aren't so like strong minded like

11:25

me.

11:25

I feel like it balances out, you know what

11:28

I mean?

11:28

Do you want someone who can hold themselves

11:31

like you know, sugar daddy style or like not

11:33

like that that I mean it that's a job, who has a

11:35

job, who has all the things together, Like what's your

11:37

vibe?

11:38

Yeah?

11:38

I want somebody who is just happy with what

11:40

they do but can sustain themselves

11:42

too. That's realistic. That's why I do so many

11:45

things, you know, Like the singing thing is my passion and

11:47

I monetize it, but it doesn't

11:49

pay all my bills, so I'm like, hey, what else do I got

11:51

to do? You know?

11:52

Yeah?

11:52

The crypto stuff is intense.

11:53

I don't even understand it, Like, do you care if someone

11:56

is with you and like doesn't understand crypto?

11:58

No, no, I don't even underst crypto.

12:00

Here is listen, I'm thoroughly

12:03

confused me but like, yay, you know another

12:06

thing we made out and it's like somehow working.

12:08

I don't know.

12:09

I've made some good moves and bad moves, but I don't

12:11

think anyone knows what cryptos or stocks in general.

12:13

We're just going with it, but it's helped me out.

12:16

So Olida, do we have all we need

12:18

to find Joel? Oh, cutie, I

12:20

absolutely think we do.

12:22

We know what he wants.

12:23

Awesome. Well, thank you so much

12:25

for sharing with us, Joelle.

12:26

We are so excited to have you back

12:29

next time as we look for the lucky

12:31

guy who we hope will match

12:33

your perfect pitch

12:36

and personality. Wink

12:38

wankally d that what do you think

12:40

we're looking for in a pitch perfect

12:43

partner?

12:44

The pitch perfect partner.

12:45

We're looking for someone as real as he

12:48

is, as fun as he is, with

12:50

a big, big heart.

12:51

This is all about love at the end of the day, no

12:54

matter what.

12:54

Of course, we have to stay away a little

12:57

bit from those very high powerful

12:59

emotions. You know, no one that is

13:01

too aggressive, because there's gotta

13:03

be a little balance here, you know, in the

13:05

partner that we find him, and I look

13:08

forward to speaking to all three of them.

13:10

When we get back from the break, we'll meet

13:12

the three contestants vying for a

13:14

date with Alita's no Nieto

13:17

Joel. Welcome

13:21

back today, Myeri the first Well,

13:33

let's welcome in Stephen.

13:35

Hello, Oh, my

13:38

gorgeous.

13:40

Gorgeous smile. Stephen, tell

13:42

us about yourself.

13:44

Okay, I'm Stephen. I am

13:46

from Houston, Texas. I

13:48

live in Los Angeles. I moved

13:51

here what like seven years ago.

13:53

I just love LA It's amazing.

13:55

I love the weather.

13:56

Not this year though, because it's so gloomy.

13:59

Stephen, did you move to for a

14:01

specific reason or you just were like, let's

14:03

change.

14:03

Some spaces subconsciously,

14:06

I think I moved for a reason and I figured that out

14:08

like a year ago, and that was to pursue

14:11

acting. I always thought I was going to work in entertainment,

14:13

but I was like, no, I want to beat the talent.

14:15

I love it.

14:17

Lots of competition on that, huh lots.

14:21

It's a tough world.

14:23

Yeah, oh, I know, but Hey, you know what, you

14:25

gotta believe in me.

14:26

Absolutely, I'm the number one.

14:28

Yes, I'm

14:30

gonna go ahead and hand you over for

14:32

a little guffer seat. Those speed day with our Elita

14:35

starting now.

14:37

Oh my goodness, she's tough on that clock. Let

14:39

me tell you so. Listen.

14:41

We have heard that every week you like to host

14:43

dinner parties with your friends.

14:45

I do.

14:46

Oh my god, I have one tonight.

14:48

You do?

14:48

Okay? Where does he live? Okay? But

14:51

the one thing that I want to know is what makes

14:53

you so bossy? What is that about?

14:56

I don't know.

14:57

I think it just comes natural that I

14:59

like the a certain way. And I

15:02

don't think it's just me. I think it's good for everyone.

15:05

So when I'm chopping something, let's

15:08

say broccoli, I want to have

15:10

the perfect bite of my bowl, my mill,

15:12

my plate, whatever I'm eating, so I wanted

15:14

it to be chopped in like the perfect amount

15:17

that I can get all my ingredients into

15:19

one four. So that's why I

15:21

prefer certain chopping styles a

15:23

certain amount of size. And you

15:26

know, I think sometimes my friends think that they should

15:28

be bigger, and I'm like, no, smaller is best.

15:30

That is mighty mighty interesting

15:33

because I truly believe that once you put

15:35

all in your mouth, everything ends up in the tummy anyway,

15:38

and you will have all those flavors. But

15:40

to each their own, absolutely, But

15:43

how is that compared to your daily

15:45

life?

15:46

Are you bossy when it comes to that?

15:48

Not at first?

15:49

Oh wait?

15:50

Am I being honest or am I trying to you?

15:52

Are being honest? Because Awlita can see through it

15:54

anyway, So just it give it to me.

15:56

Okay.

15:57

You know, I think first it's smart to always

16:00

come off really clean, slate, really nice,

16:02

really respectful. I mean, I'm always gonna be respectful,

16:05

but there are certain times

16:07

where you kind of have to be like, hmm,

16:10

I think I don't like that. I think we should

16:12

do it this way. And trust

16:15

me, I'm looking out for my

16:17

partner. I'm trying to steer us

16:19

in the right way.

16:20

So you're into compromise and big

16:23

time communication.

16:24

Exactly, working smarter, not

16:26

harder.

16:27

Okay, Okay, now I

16:29

hear that you're all about the neurochemicals.

16:32

Talk to me about that.

16:34

I've been learning a lot about

16:36

the different neurochemicals in our brain,

16:39

because you know, our brain is such a fascinating

16:42

thing. So I've just been learning

16:44

about different ways to like get your brain

16:46

to work better. And some

16:48

of those things include like cold showers

16:51

or cold plunges, or even like

16:53

omega threes and eating a well balanced

16:56

diet.

16:56

So are you working on your heart

16:59

as well as brain opening

17:01

up your heart to a new relationship.

17:03

Are you looking for love?

17:05

Yes, I mean I would say that

17:07

I am. I try to definitely

17:10

be aware of how I'm feeling, and

17:13

I would definitely be aware and like open

17:16

to another partner, and you know, just having

17:18

those heart to hearts and you know, just getting

17:20

to know somebody genuinely.

17:22

Are you a bit jealous?

17:25

I'd say, yeah, I am.

17:27

How has that worked in your previous day in life?

17:30

Well, I would say that it didn't

17:32

work out well, but only because I

17:35

was younger at the time and I let it

17:37

get the best of me. It was kind of a first

17:39

relationship, so I feel like those first

17:41

times, you're navigating everything

17:43

for the first time, and I just remember

17:46

letting my jealousy get the best of me, having

17:49

unnecessary fights, letting insecurity

17:52

take over, and saying mean things sometimes.

17:55

But now that I'm older and wiser

17:57

and grew from that, I feel like

17:59

I can better handle those situations.

18:02

That is very nice.

18:03

Jealousy is not good no matter how you look

18:05

at it. You know, we have to give everyone

18:07

their own rights, their own space comes

18:10

with a lot of respect and admiration

18:13

of what the other person does.

18:14

If you're feeling a little bit insecure,

18:16

a little bit.

18:17

Jealous, talk it out, you know, tell

18:20

them and just open up your heart as much

18:22

as you can. Kindness and humbleness

18:24

and humility. My god, they go a long long

18:26

way and a lot of fun.

18:31

What do you do for fun? What's your best

18:33

date ever?

18:35

I would say start off like at the Century

18:37

City Mall, which is a beautiful outdoor mall, a

18:40

lot of nice shops, there's the movie

18:42

theater, there's a lot of dining. They

18:44

have both like a food court and restaurants

18:47

in it. And also I'm really

18:49

into fashion, so I like to shop too,

18:52

So I think that would be really cute. Like

18:54

there's a lot of conversations to be had when strolling

18:56

through a pretty outdoor mall.

18:58

I don't know about that because I don't have time to

19:00

talk. I have time to shop, So just

19:03

get in, get what you need and what you like.

19:05

Yeah, I'm a fast shoper. I go store to store real

19:07

quick.

19:09

So sorry to interrupt, but that was

19:11

all the time for this gufe seed though.

19:14

Thank you so much, Steven, Thank you, Steven. We'll

19:16

be back with contestant number two.

19:21

Welcome back to day my aunt Wilita. First,

19:26

let's go ahead and meet our next contestant,

19:29

Joshua.

19:30

Well good, how are you? Hello?

19:33

Hey Joshua, Oh what a cutie.

19:36

Go ahead and tell us about yourself. Oh

19:38

wow.

19:39

My name is Joshua Maxwell Jackson.

19:42

I'm twenty five.

19:43

I live in downtown Los Angeles. I'm

19:46

not someone and you can't expect something from because

19:48

I always do like the opposite, like you

19:50

feel me. I'm like very unpredictable, so

19:52

it's kind of just like you don't

19:54

know what you're getting yourself into.

19:56

I love it, I love it.

19:58

I love it.

19:59

Well, I'm gonna go high and send you over

20:01

to Ailita for our little speed

20:03

date starting now.

20:06

When does we go?

20:06

No?

20:10

How are you?

20:11

I'm good? What about you?

20:13

I am

20:16

doing fine? Thank you so much. You're very handsome.

20:19

Thank you, You're very beautiful.

20:22

Okay done. I know who he's gonna

20:24

date. That

20:31

would really change the show, wouldn't it. Let's

20:35

go with one question. I

20:37

hear that you work at a restaurant right

20:39

with a celebrity list of clientele,

20:43

So have they ever hit you up or have you tried?

20:46

Well?

20:47

Me and like one of the clientele, we almost

20:49

kissed on accidents?

20:51

How does accidentally kissing happen?

20:54

So like usually when I take orders, I get

20:56

down on my knees and like I get close to them.

20:58

But me and Porsia, it's from

21:00

like Dad, stop embarrassing me on Netflix.

21:03

But like she always gets me to be her servant.

21:05

And I was taking her order and then I lenked

21:07

in a little bit too close to this. She turned around and

21:09

like LinkedIn like on me and I swear to

21:11

God, like our breath like got

21:14

into each other's mouths and we.

21:15

Were like, oh lord, does she grab me

21:17

and I grabbed her? I was like, oh push the wait,

21:19

I'm gay.

21:23

No, But that was a sweet moment. That's

21:25

that's a memory. Those are the beautiful things

21:27

that we create. So tell me

21:29

any other stories anything embarrassing.

21:32

Oh my god, there's like a lot I

21:34

would say, Like my when me and my

21:37

coworker would talk, like it'll be like me an Xavier

21:39

or something. We'll be talking about something

21:41

but Paul, who's like the sixty

21:44

year old manager, will come walking

21:46

by. Feather told we don't even know

21:48

he's coming up, and then we're just like yeah,

21:51

like his dick's so big.

21:52

And then Paul looks at us and he's.

21:54

Like what and I'm like, oh

21:56

my god, Paul, I did.

21:58

Not know you were right there. Just ignor that, like

22:01

please, okay.

22:02

Wilita's question is how did you know this a

22:05

picture?

22:08

And like it was a picture, and like I'll meet

22:10

up, like.

22:13

Can you forward it? Okay?

22:14

Next listen,

22:17

you told our producers you don't mind going out with a

22:19

short guy, which is pretty interesting.

22:22

When did you change your mind about short kings?

22:24

I mean, I feel like I always liked short

22:27

kings because even when I was in college, like I

22:29

was always messing with short dudes. Like I told him,

22:31

I said, I like a little short guy climbing up my

22:34

tree. I'm five eleven and they'd

22:36

be like five five. It's like so nice,

22:38

and usually they be backing to like

22:40

the tall dudes usually like they be packing.

22:42

But the short dudes, to our beautiful listeners,

22:45

we only ask for honesty, and

22:47

they might Wilita first, and you are

22:50

hearing it. But

22:52

listen, my love, what is it that you are looking for?

22:55

What kind of a person tickles your

22:57

little fancy?

22:58

I would say about the bag.

23:01

But they also like to have fun because

23:03

like I don't know in my opinion, like I'm

23:06

not gonna be sexually attracted to you, like

23:08

if you are broke, like if I have to take

23:10

care of you, I'm going to feel like a dad.

23:13

But if we're actually taking care of each other

23:15

and we're not doing stuff because we have to, that

23:18

is what's really a turned on Like a grown.

23:20

Man very well said, my love, time

23:24

is up.

23:25

So sorry, but thank you so much, Joshua,

23:28

Thank you, my love.

23:29

Let's bring on our next contestant, Clinton,

23:32

I mean it.

23:34

Hello, Hello Clinton, tell

23:37

us about yourself.

23:38

So hello, my name is Clinton Anthony

23:40

Haddocks. I am from

23:43

Kentucky but live in Los Angeles.

23:45

Stubborn, hardworking, but also

23:47

good looking.

23:48

I know you don't have to tell me.

23:50

I can confirm all the listeners

23:53

this attractive.

23:56

Fun fact about myself. I can flip

23:58

an entire football field flipper.

24:00

Can you take back handsprings all the way down?

24:03

Wow?

24:03

At the very end, I feel like I

24:06

probably had a whole bottle of tequila, like I

24:08

tipped it upside down, did a handstand on

24:10

a keg, and I feel like I'm going to vomit.

24:12

I was going to ask if you were drunk at the end of it,

24:14

absolutely thoroughly impressed.

24:16

Well, I'm going to go ahead and hand you over with our little cuff

24:18

of seat though, with a lead that's starting. Now.

24:21

How are you, my love?

24:23

I am well, thank you? How are you?

24:25

I am doing fantastic? My heart is

24:27

open and receptive. And let's

24:29

go for a little honesty here. Tell me

24:32

you've told us that you've tried dating

24:34

apps and you've had no success

24:36

with them.

24:37

Personally, I do not like dating apps.

24:39

I feel like I'm scrolling through applications

24:43

and I was like, oh, I see you one.

24:45

Send a leg.

24:46

If we match, then we pull in and we

24:48

do the whole interviewing thing of

24:51

like, hey, what do you do for Don't

24:53

ask me what I do for work? Okay, ask me

24:55

questions about me, like what makes

24:57

you happy? So, personally, dating

25:00

apps are not my thing.

25:02

I like organically meeting someone.

25:04

So when was your last date?

25:06

Almost three years ago?

25:07

How come that long you've stayed away from it?

25:10

Yeah, people look at me They're like, oh, Clinton's

25:13

hot, he has a six pack, he's beautiful,

25:15

and they just want to play with my body

25:18

hook up. I satisfied them and they move

25:20

on. But as I get older, I

25:22

was like, how does that leave me feeling? I feel

25:25

gross? I feel used and abused, and

25:28

what if I made a connection with that person? But they're

25:30

all horned up and playing

25:32

this game of like how many guys can.

25:34

I hook up with?

25:36

What can you offer?

25:38

I can offer my company, my

25:40

ear, my open

25:43

arms and cuddles.

25:45

I can have intimate conversation.

25:48

I can open up and share my life with someone.

25:51

You told us that you're close with your grandparents.

25:53

Oh my gosh, yes, I love

25:56

my grandparents. I call them every Friday.

25:58

Oh where are they?

26:00

They're in Michigan and we do

26:02

our little phone call and she

26:05

tells me I'm her favorite grandson

26:07

in California. I was like, Grandma, I'm your only

26:10

grandson in California. She goes, I know, that's

26:12

why you're my favorite.

26:13

I'm like, oh, well, Grandma's

26:15

love to death all of their grandsons

26:17

and granddaughters. But we hear your

26:19

coaching children's gymnastics right now?

26:22

I do, yes, what is your favorite

26:24

thing that you're passing on to the new generation,

26:27

and did you have a good coaching figure

26:29

in your life.

26:31

So I coached the young developmental.

26:34

I love the four and five year old age

26:36

because I have such a big, heartwarming

26:38

personality and sometimes they can't

26:40

even pronounce my name, right, mister Lincoln, And

26:43

I'm like, yes, let's go. When we give each other

26:45

high fives, we always clap for each other.

26:47

We give a round of applause, and we

26:49

scream whoop.

26:51

So me passing on to them

26:54

is a wonderful, exciting

26:56

experience with a

26:58

great role model.

26:59

A year of like, oh my.

27:01

Gosh, I can't wait to see coach Clinton and

27:03

have fun with learning and

27:06

art because gymnastics is

27:08

a form of art that we make with our bodies.

27:10

And my favorite experience I'm

27:13

passing down to them is we are working

27:15

together. That's my favorite thing is

27:17

working together as a mentor

27:20

and a small one. And soon they

27:22

will take my place someday and pass

27:24

it on to the next generation.

27:26

One little question, are you looking forward to having children?

27:30

I am open to having children.

27:31

So that is a conversation that

27:34

I would have with my partner because

27:37

I can go either direction. If

27:40

you want to do a surrogate,

27:42

adopt children, or whatever

27:45

you want to do. If they do not want, then

27:48

see, I work with kids for

27:51

all my life and you can never force them, like

27:53

you can't force them to eat, force them to do something.

27:55

So if I meet a partner, this is

27:57

where my answer can change. So when people out

28:00

ask a lot of these interview questions,

28:02

it confuses my brain because

28:04

if they're not open to children, I'm like, okay,

28:06

well, why aren't you open to it? You know, like

28:09

this that whatever their answer is, I don't know, and

28:12

I'm like, Okay.

28:13

What we are driving with these questions

28:15

and these interviews is because we know a

28:17

little bit what our dater likes and what might

28:19

want in the future.

28:21

So it's always good to ask all those silly questions.

28:23

My love no, I love them, I love thank

28:26

you.

28:31

Well that's that.

28:31

That concludes our cafecito

28:34

Alita, thank you so much.

28:36

Clinton's glacios Clinton.

28:38

Well, for now, that's all

28:41

the heat we could handle. Tune

28:43

in next Thursday when.

28:45

We'll be back to play a few speed

28:47
