1:42

1:45

I was like, how are we having just

1:47

the family?

1:48

Although sometimes a good a good little

1:50

gentle chankla on the lover doesn't sound too

1:52

bad, you know what I'm saying.

1:54

Then they're done that.

1:55

Yes, all right,

1:57

Alida and our sweet romantic

1:59

listeners, It's time to

2:01

meet Miguel. He's the

2:04

eldest sibling of five kids

2:07

and lives with his tight knit family.

2:09

Miguel heard that our Aulita

2:12

over here has a special touch.

2:14

When it comes to matchmaking and

2:16

decided he give it a try.

2:18

He's got a lot of trust

2:20

in the power of our Elita's already,

2:23

So let's welcome in.

2:24

Miguel.

2:28

Oh, I

2:33

am doing wonderful, especially now after

2:36

meeting you. I'm going to ask you a little question

2:38

that I want to know. You know, why are

2:41

we all here today? Do you

2:43

know? Tell me things that are important to you

2:45

in relationships in your life

2:48

and what you are looking for to cultivate

2:50

in your dating life.

2:52

So you know, I'm twenty three, now, you

2:55

know I'm in school. I'm marking a lot. I definitely

2:57

want to spend time with my special someone, you

2:59

know, to go on trips, do

3:01

little dating stuff, and just you know,

3:04

go to family reunions with so I can finally get

3:06

that weight off my shoulders of oh,

3:08

who's this person? Who's this person?

3:09

You know?

3:10

Have you brought people back home before?

3:12

Yes, I've have.

3:14

And it's funny because my parents they

3:16

get along with every person that I brought home.

3:18

But then after a while, like I'll tell them what happened,

3:21

and they just like, oh, okay, we'll just

3:23

right on the next line.

3:24

I got to start right there. I love

3:26

the fact that we can share with our alitos

3:28

and all that, but not one hundred percent, Miguel,

3:31

not one hundred percent, because you will

3:33

say something and because of our cultural

3:35

differences through the years, we

3:38

tend to judge first, understand

3:40

second. So maybe this Awlita,

3:43

you can tell.

3:43

Everything absolutely,

3:46

so question how long has it been since you've brought someone

3:48

home.

3:49

It's been about two years since I brought

3:51

the last person home.

3:52

That's what's up?

3:52

Okay?

3:53

And you're you said you're twenty three and you're going

3:55

to school.

3:56

Are you school full time?

3:57

Just part time?

3:58

Because I only have classes on Sundays. So

4:00

I'm going to school for emergency medical Technician.

4:03

Oh hell's yeah, that's awesome. I

4:05

have a little question for you. I know that you live with your

4:07

aos. Can you tell

4:09

us a little bit about that.

4:10

Yeah, So I'm staying with my mom's

4:13

dad, so that's where I picked up

4:15

my Spanish from. Both my parents are bilingual,

4:17

but me being the oldest, I used to spend

4:19

more time with them on the weekends and I used

4:21

to go to Churchill when myos and I

4:23

picked them in Spanish there. So me

4:26

being the oldest, I definitely get the one that gets called

4:28

on every time, like like when

4:31

you're gonna come visit me? Like let's go do this. You

4:33

know, I'm just like cool. But I'm very close knit

4:35

with my albolito.

4:36

So well, that's very good to know. And I'm

4:38

going to tell you I am also the oldest

4:41

of five, so I know exactly

4:43

where you're at now.

4:44

The last person that you brought home was you said, two

4:46

years ago. What happened there and

4:49

why did you all break up?

4:50

What was the fallout?

4:51

What were the green flags in that relationship? And the

4:53

right flags that you've noticed that you've processed

4:55

since.

4:56

A couple of green flags that I really paid attention

4:59

to was just like the word of affirmation, because

5:01

my love language is words of affirmation and physical

5:03

touch. So right off the bat, it felt

5:05

like a dream, you know, something that I've always looked

5:07

forward to. And then the red flags

5:10

didn't show up, probably say like a year

5:12

into our relationship.

5:13

It's pretty normal.

5:16

So long yeah that honeymon faces I.

5:17

Come out right away?

5:20

What were they?

5:21

Uh?

5:21

So the red flags were the lack of communication.

5:24

I know, trust wasn't really there.

5:26

Trust wasn't there both ways?

5:28

Yeah, both ways.

5:30

That's a no note.

5:31

How does it look like for you to trust

5:33

somebody? And how does like ideal communication

5:35

look.

5:35

Like to you?

5:36

It doesn't have to be like twenty four to seven,

5:39

just more of like, hey, like, you know, what do

5:41

you got going on today?

5:42

Okay? Cool?

5:42

If you end up going out, just text

5:45

me, text me once you make it back home.

5:47

Cool. But that's pretty much it.

5:49

So just like check ins really like I'll

5:51

wake up texts and evening texts.

5:53

If you're going to go out, like, let them know so

5:55

in case like they're gone for five hours,

5:57

you're not worried.

5:58

That little consideration.

6:00

Yeah, just let me know who you're with, so if your phone

6:02

dies or something happens, okay, you're with this person

6:05

exactly.

6:05

Are you a jealous person?

6:07

No, I am not. I am not a jealous

6:09

person.

6:10

Good to know. Tell me I heard that your

6:12

own I will eat. I thought that you were coming to a show

6:14

to date and I will lead that. How

6:17

did that happen?

6:19

So?

6:19

I told her what I applied for and I

6:21

just saw the name, like dam Wilita.

6:23

I was like, oh, like it reminded me of the show.

6:27

Oh my goodness, Okay, that's

6:29

so good.

6:30

I was like something like that. My Grandma's like, what,

6:32

like you're gonna be on this show like that? I was like, I don't know,

6:34

Like I still got to get more details, but

6:37

yes.

6:37

I would lead them dating someone fifty years old

6:39

right now?

6:42

No, but yes,

6:45

she was just laughing her but off.

6:47

So how does an ideal date look

6:49

like to you?

6:50

If I was going to plan a date for a

6:53

girl, the first date, I'll definitely

6:55

take her to k one speed.

6:56

I don't know if you guys been go karting.

6:58

Adrenaline Junkie over here, you like adventure

7:00

themed.

7:01

Dates most definitely,

7:03

Yes, I am not afraid of heights, so.

7:05

Adrenaline Junkie like adventure dates.

7:08

You also want someone that you want

7:10

to settle down with. How does intimacy look

7:12

like to you? And how comfortable are you with sharing those

7:14

like really intimate, very human moments.

7:16

When something with that person, I get very comfortable.

7:19

Good and you want that from that person too.

7:21

Yeah, but for other people it definitely takes

7:23

time, of course, because of like you know, from

7:26

their past situation. So you know, however

7:28

long it takes, you know, I'm still going.

7:29

To be there.

7:30

What are some of your grain flags and your

7:32

red flags? What have you been analyzing

7:34

and processing for yourself, the things that you know about

7:37

yourself that you want to work with, and the things that

7:39

you know you can already bring into our relationship.

7:42

So I'll start off with the red flags.

7:43

I know for me growing up speaking up

7:45

for myself and speaking my mind, because

7:47

you know, if I felt like something was off, I'll

7:50

second think about it, you know, and it would be

7:52

mentally draining for me because it's like, I

7:54

definitely want to speak up on this topic, but I

7:57

don't want to make this person mad, you

7:59

know. And so my experiences throughout the

8:01

past, it's definitely something that I've had

8:03

to work on, and a lot of people told me too. It's

8:05

just something that you know, no matter what, you

8:07

definitely have to do it and work on.

8:09

So does it have to do with the fact that it's

8:11

not what you say, but how.

8:13

Yes, correct too, because I know for a

8:15

lot of us, we take the time

8:18

to process what we're going to tell that person,

8:20

and sometimes it might come out good, but

8:22

for that person it might seem wrong.

8:25

So definitely that for sure.

8:27

As someone who also has been working

8:29

through that as well, I can see within

8:31

myself if I don't say anything, I still building

8:34

a resentment and then that eventually

8:36

will hinder the relationship and sabotage the relationship.

8:39

Not only that, you will blow up at the end exact,

8:41

and that's not a good thing. You

8:43

accumulate, you pile up, and you think,

8:46

wow, I'm going to say it now, and at that point

8:48

you better just say goodbye exactly.

8:51

And that's what happened with my past relationship

8:53

because how we fell off was because she did

8:55

it on me, not once, but twice.

8:58

Yeah, like you said, I would like the taking

9:01

time bomb.

9:01

That's how I really felt towards the end because

9:04

I brought up the topic multiple times and you know,

9:06

the evidence, the receipts, whatever you want to

9:08

call it, and this person didn't want to speak

9:10

up. This person didn't want to admit to it, and

9:12

I had all the evidence.

9:14

So yeah, we

9:16

know that you coach youth baseball and are

9:18

also studying towards a career in early childhood

9:20

education. Was there someone that

9:23

inspired you to pursue this and what

9:25

makes working with youth so special

9:27

for you?

9:28

Oh?

9:28

Man?

9:29

So right off the bat, I'm the oldest

9:31

stuff five and you know me growing

9:33

up when it came to family and unions, parties,

9:36

whatever, you know, I'll be typically the one

9:38

to take care of my cousins while everybody else is

9:40

having a good time, you know. And then just

9:42

growing up in high school, I had a chance

9:44

to volunteer at a preschool right across

9:46

the street from my school, you know, to get

9:48

a couple of like hours credits whatever,

9:51

Like it didn't feel like worked to me, and so for

9:53

me, it's just like I'm getting Paige

9:56

and just have fun, you know, And I loved

9:58

it. And then when I eventually graduated high schools,

10:00

like, you know what, I want to at least get my certificate

10:03

in early childhood education.

10:04

You know, that's something that I like.

10:06

And so, you know, ever since then, it's

10:08

just something that I do, and to this day, I

10:10

still volunteer. Right now, we're doing baseball

10:13

season. So Dodger's dream team.

10:14

So I have my love them

10:16

in what ages?

10:18

So I have minors, so I have ages nine

10:20

to ten and eleven soul?

10:22

Yeahito, are you interested

10:25

in marriage down the road?

10:27

Oh yeah, it's definitely.

10:29

Yes, and children the whole.

10:32

Yes, I definitely

10:34

at least want two or three kids, two to three

10:36

or.

10:36

Two times three, it's either way.

10:41

In your ideal situation.

10:43

If there's a conflict in a relationship,

10:45

how do you approach repair?

10:48

Oh yeah, So I'm definitely not going to

10:50

be the one that's going to like just goes to and

10:52

act like nothing's going on. If

10:55

I feel like something's like we're

10:58

having a conflict, give

11:00

you time, you know, give you time to process,

11:02

you know, what you got to say or taken

11:05

about the situation and then eventually we can

11:08

you know, set up a time or we can link

11:10

up and you know, talk it out like grown adults,

11:12

like you know, And

11:15

that's pretty much it is. When it starts

11:17

to come where it's like you're not responding

11:20

to text or calls and just

11:22

leaving me seeing and don't respond until like

11:24

a couple of days later, that's.

11:26

The beginning of the end. Yeah,

11:29

when things begin to unravel.

11:31

How many relationships have you been in that have felt

11:34

serious?

11:35

Two to three?

11:36

And what's been the longest one you've been in?

11:38

About three years?

11:39

But it was on and off though, Megan, And

11:42

when did this start? Because you are twenty

11:44

three?

11:44

Yeah, so this was about like late high school.

11:47

Gotcha.

11:48

Wow, you were also really close to that person's

11:50

family as well.

11:52

Yeah. Correct, I still am to this day

11:54

too, But oh.

11:55

Three, that's nice.

11:57

Yeah, what's been the dating advice you've gotten

11:59

from your parents, your

12:01

siblings, your tas?

12:04

Just keep doing me, do what I gotta do,

12:06

so whether it's school work, just focus

12:08

on myself and then the love will

12:10

come find me. So stop searching

12:12

for love, just let it come find you.

12:14

That's nice, that's cute.

12:16

That's cute.

12:17

That's pretty nice.

12:18

You got put in your.

12:21

12:23

bit, yeah, yes.

12:30

12:32

to be different?

12:33

I am doing great, my love.

14:22

I have a couple of questions for you, so let's

14:24

get started. What kind of people do

14:26

you usually date?

14:28

I actually usually date just

14:31

very similar people to me, Like

14:33

I love people that are very positive and

14:36

like to just do anything like adventurous.

14:39

Well I think I've heard that word before. What

14:42

kind of adventurous things?

14:44

Honestly, I like going on a boat,

14:47

rock climbing, going on hikes.

14:50

Like if we get.

14:51

Together, we want to do something, just

14:53

like, do something spectacular, not just like

14:55

regular movie dates or anything.

14:56

Like creating memories.

14:58

Yeah, exactly, creating. Yeah.

15:00

So tell me what are you looking for right now

15:03

in your dating life? Are you looking for a serious

15:05

relationship?

15:06

Yes, I am.

15:07

I feel like I always or

15:09

I used to attract just guys there were just

15:11

one night stands or just like they don't

15:13

really want something serious, and I'm kind

15:16

of like, over it. I don't really want to just talk

15:18

to someone and then forget about them the next week.

15:21

I know that you close with your family, is that correct?

15:24

Yes?

15:24

So have you ever brought home anyone

15:26

that you wanted them to meet?

15:28

Yes?

15:28

I have, and what happened they

15:31

were pretty judgments. So this

15:33

was when I was like my first year

15:35

of college. I was freshman, you know,

15:38

I finally got a boyfriend and everybody

15:40

started finding out.

15:41

But he was just a typical bad

15:43

boy, and my family

15:45

pretty much knew about him because

15:48

he just would cause a lot of drama

15:51

and so it was just horrible. And after that,

15:53

I have never introduced anybody to my family.

15:56

Now, you specifically look for a

15:58

bad boy.

15:59

It's not like I'm looking for it. I think it

16:01

just happens.

16:02

So this was your first year of college,

16:04

and that's the last time that you've dated.

16:06

Since I've dated more

16:08

guys, but I haven't really

16:11

found someone that I'm like, Okay, I want

16:13

to commit it full on.

16:15

Most of the time, they just want to have sex the first night,

16:17

and it's just.

16:18

Like Uh, I'm okay off that.

16:20

So well, I'm glad to know that that hasn't

16:22

changed since I was young.

16:26

Men.

16:27

Women, we all have our ideas of what

16:29

we want on that first date, and some people are

16:31

just not interested in a relationship. So

16:34

you do a lot of content creation. Is that

16:36

your work right now?

16:37

Yes? Yeah, I work at the company

16:39

and I make their TikTok videos.

16:42

And stuff like that. Oh, that's going to

16:44

come in handy.

16:45

Now.

16:45

Would you rather date someone who uses no

16:48

social media or someone who uses

16:50

it more than you do?

16:52

I definitely don't mind if they

16:54

use social media, but I'm the type

16:56

of person that has like the screen time and

16:59

all that, so they.

16:59

Need to have that together too.

17:02

Like, I don't want someone that's like obsessed with social

17:04

media like that, because I know there's people out there

17:06

that'd be on a twenty four to seven and

17:09

I need you to get off your phone

17:11

and come and do some adventure shit

17:13

with me.

17:14

Oh I love that. Do

17:17

you date people who are younger

17:19

or older than you?

17:21

Oh?

17:21

I usually date older?

17:24

Okay. Does it depends on

17:26

how mature they are?

17:28

Yeah?

17:28

I feel like if they have their shit

17:30

together, we can say that because I

17:32

feel like you can definitely have

17:34

like an older mindset, like I feel like I

17:37

have an older mindset.

17:38

At that point, the numbers become irrelevant.

17:41

Yeah, it's just just a number.

17:43

I can say that I do it every day.

17:46

Age is just a number. It totally is

17:48

my love. Now, you mentioned that one of your dreams

17:50

was to travel the world, and if

17:52

you have the chance to leave tomorrow, tell

17:54

me where are you heading? What are you doing

17:57

there?

17:58

I'm going to Dubai and we going be

18:00

on camels.

18:04

I was gonna say one or two humps, but no,

18:06

I won't.

18:08

And that is all the time you have.

18:11

But that was a great way to end this. That

18:13

is your speed day. Thank

18:16

you so much, gott.

18:21

We'll be right back with contestant

18:24

after the break. Welcome

18:29

back to day mal Walita. First,

18:33

Yes, let's meet

18:36

Teja was Goodja?

18:39

Oh, hello, Tasia, tell us

18:41

about yourself.

18:43

My name is Tasha Brianna. I actually

18:45

have two first names because my.

18:46

Parents were indecisive bless.

18:49

I am in aries, and I would love to say that

18:51

I'm very big on zodiac signs.

18:53

I see in the face.

18:54

I know aries are known to be hot heads, little

18:57

tempered. I'm not gonna lie Yep,

18:59

that's me.

19:02

Right.

19:03

I'm a bartender, but also

19:05

in school for nursing. And

19:08

as far as me, I'm a very spiritual person.

19:11

I did go through a spiritual awakening

19:13

back in twenty twenty, so that's

19:16

about much as me. I love outdoors. I'm an outdoors

19:18

person water. My mom calls

19:20

me a fish and yeah.

19:23

I come from a really big family of ten.

19:25

My mom's a foster mom, and

19:28

I have a cat named Fin and that's about me.

19:30

Oh my, that is precious, Tasia.

19:33

I'm going to hand you over for a little speed

19:35

data deak starting

19:37

now.

19:39

Hello, Tasha Brianne, beautiful

19:41

name or I'll call you fishy like

19:44

your mom. One little question that

19:47

caught my attention. You said you had a spiritual

19:49

awakening in twenty twenty. What did you do

19:51

that.

19:52

We were going through a hard time as a family

19:54

in general, and we actually became

19:57

homeless at the time when my mom was transitioning,

20:00

so I had to move away from home and

20:02

it was just really hard not seeing my family,

20:05

and I can just say I was not

20:07

in the best headspace and I

20:09

was mostly just looking for a way.

20:11

Out of the sadness.

20:13

And I found or actually

20:15

it found me spirituality, and I did learn

20:18

that something that happens is that it finds

20:20

you in a time when you're feeling lost

20:22

and just feeling a little hopeless, and

20:25

it just helped me really discover a

20:28

lot about who I really

20:30

am.

20:31

So I can't see me applauding.

20:33

I'm not making much noise, but I am. And

20:35

you're very right, it's something that comes to us

20:37

at a specific moment. But let's

20:39

get a little bit more into the present now that you made

20:41

me cry, and I hope to God

20:44

that everything is good with your family nowadays.

20:48

What brings you here and what kind of guy are

20:50

you looking to date?

20:51

Honestly, the fun brought me here.

20:53

I love any new experience that can

20:55

bring me and I've never done anything.

20:58

Like this, nor have we.

21:01

But the guy I'm.

21:02

Looking for is someone

21:04

that could be an equal trade of

21:07

energy. And it doesn't feel like they're

21:09

taking too much away from me, as I don't want

21:11

to take too much away from them. And

21:14

I'm mostly looking for someone who

21:16

can make me feel safe and valued

21:19

and protected and really

21:21

helped me to communicate because

21:23

I haven't been the best communicator, but I

21:26

really want to learn to get better and

21:28

someone that's patient with me, because,

21:31

like I said, I'm a little stubborn at

21:33

times, and I try my best. I try to

21:35

catch myself, but you know, I'm

21:37

an Aries.

21:38

We slip up. I was just gonna go there,

21:40

and my Vika's looking at me Aries stubborn.

21:42

Absolutely, Yes, I

21:44

know that. I know that well. I'm saying it from

21:46

experience. My first husband out of

21:49

so many was an airy, so yeah,

21:51

that's why he was number one and moved

21:53

on. But tell me how

21:56

is your dating life right now?

21:58

I have actually been on a cellary journey

22:01

for about six months. I went

22:03

through a really heart breakup almost a

22:05

year ago, and I wanted to do

22:07

it correctly and heal myself and

22:09

not just give

22:12

my energy away to any and everyone.

22:14

So I have been celibate and it's honestly

22:16

been the best time.

22:18

I like exactly what you are saying, but

22:20

what I like the most is that you said that you look

22:22

for your healing before you moved on to another

22:25

person, and that is the best thing that we can

22:27

do, so we don't carry that same baggage

22:29

with us everywhere we go. Yeah, you're

22:31

very close to your mom, I am, Yet your

22:33

mom was a foster mom. I mean,

22:35

my heart goes out to her. There

22:38

are so many children in this world that need affection,

22:40

and being a foster mom is I just applaud

22:42

her. But what have you learned,

22:44

if anything, about dating from your

22:46

mom.

22:48

My mom in the past has never

22:50

had the best dating history, So

22:53

I did learn a lot up front with

22:55

my standards of what I will accept and what

22:57

I won't write off the bat. It's

23:01

mostly about the way you speak to each other.

23:03

There's going to be arguments and disagreements,

23:05

but there never needs to be a way of degrading

23:08

each other. And what I've

23:10

learned from my mom is my

23:12

mom is a very She's an incredible

23:14

woman. I got to say. When I was about fourteen,

23:18

my aunt passed away and my mom took

23:20

in all of.

23:20

Her four girls, which they were

23:22

as.

23:23

Young as five, and my aunt had just had twins

23:25

when she passed away, so my mom

23:28

asked me if I would.

23:30

Help her raise them because it was

23:32

just me.

23:33

I was the oldest, and my mom did not have a

23:35

significant other and she still hasn't till

23:37

we've had those kids. So she

23:40

did ask me if I would

23:42

be willing while she was in school, and

23:44

I was. I gave up a lot of my high school and

23:46

a lot of my fun activities to now

23:48

raise my siblings.

23:50

And my mom gave.

23:51

Us the best life she could as

23:53

a result to just me helping her out

23:56

a little bit.

23:56

So, Taisha Brianne, what is your mother's

23:59

name? Crystal?

24:01

My heart goes to Crystal, give her

24:03

all my love. She is my hero

24:06

absolutely to take on

24:09

such big responsibility and for you

24:11

to also take it at the young age

24:13

while in high school. My heart goes out

24:15

to you too. You're a beautiful person.

24:18

Thank you.

24:20

I am so sorry, but I've got to interrupt.

24:22

That's all the guffescitoa

24:25

can drink for now. Thank

24:27

you for that, Tajia, And in

24:29

just a moment, Alida will have her third

24:32

and final guffes Sito. It's

24:34

time to meet our final

24:36

contestant. For the last SIPs

24:39

of your little guffes selmost

24:42

gone, Let's meet Jasmine.

24:46

What's good, Hill,

24:51

Jasmine, tell us all about who you are.

24:54

Okay, So my name is Jasmine.

24:56

I'm from Colorado. I moved to

24:59

La eight months ago. Oh she's my

25:01

twin sister, which is the cool fact

25:03

that, as I say, is that I'm a twin I'm twenty

25:05

three years old. I graduated college a

25:07

year ago and moved out here and

25:10

then right now I'm trying.

25:11

To navigate myself here in LA.

25:14

That's what's up.

25:15

No, gay, that's a lot of freeways.

25:17

Yeah, you, thank

25:19

you for that. I'm going to hand you over now to our

25:21

litail. Enough for our little cafe. See those

25:23

speed.

25:24

Dates starting now,

25:27

let's do it. How are you

25:29

beautiful?

25:30

I'm good in you.

25:31

I'm doing really well. I'm going to ask

25:33

you a couple of little personal questions and see how

25:35

it goes here. Okay, let's talk

25:37

about your dating life. What kind of

25:39

people do you date?

25:40

Well, the last time I dated

25:43

somebody, I had a boyfriend.

25:44

I was eighteen.

25:46

But what I do look in somebody is,

25:49

first of all, is for them to have a good personality.

25:51

It's okay if they're you know, like shy or quiet, but

25:53

as long as you know they have manners are kind.

25:56

I do like to go for ones that

25:58

are, you know, kind of goofy and funny.

26:00

But I like shy guys too. I don't

26:02

know why.

26:04

They have something to share too.

26:06

I'm not shy, so I'm like, you know, opposite

26:08

a track because I'm a very loud person.

26:10

I'm an extrovert, So I'm like, I like those shy

26:13

ones.

26:14

Did you mention to us your sign? I

26:16

know Vika would love to know I'm capricorn.

26:19

Are we doing good here, Vico?

26:24

So what are you looking for? Are you looking

26:26

for a serious relationship?

26:28

Before when I was in college, I really wasn't

26:30

because I wanted to focus on my education.

26:33

But now that I've adulted, sadly,

26:37

I am looking for something more serious.

26:39

Just because you know, I feel like I'm ready for it.

26:41

I focus on what I wanted to during

26:43

college, which is my education, and now

26:45

I'm like, well, you know.

26:46

What, it wouldn't be that bad to have somebody

26:48

to go on dates with and hang out with.

26:50

Oh, and you are a twin,

26:53

grew up in a small town. What

26:55

is the name of the town?

26:57

Alamos?

26:59

Yes, Mimosa. I can only think of that.

27:01

But yeah, okay, so we're curious

27:04

what kind of twin trouble did you guys get

27:06

into, especially when you started dating,

27:10

well.

27:10

With the boyfriend thing.

27:11

A lot of people think that we would,

27:13

you know, switch off and go on dates for each

27:15

other. We never really did that because

27:18

we have different taste I would definitely

27:20

not date the person that she dated, and she would

27:22

probably not date the.

27:23

Guy that I dated.

27:25

But I mean, I guess when we were in middle school,

27:27

if there was guys that would try to like flirt

27:29

with us and my sister didn't

27:31

want him. For example, there's this kid

27:33

from a different school that was in love

27:36

with my sister.

27:36

He'd go to all our basketball games and watch us

27:38

play.

27:39

Oh you're a basketball player.

27:42

I mean I in high school, I was. I played lacrosse

27:45

in college.

27:46

Check you out your

27:49

sister? Are you fraternal or identical?

27:51

Identical?

27:52

Oh my goodness, so

27:55

a picture and you said that

27:57

you did not like the same kind of guy.

28:00

Now no, I mean, if we see

28:02

somebody that were like, oh he's cute, well, Okasha.

28:04

Were like, do you want him er?

28:06

Or do you want me to go after him? We're like, yeah,

28:08

you got in. So then we're like, okay, go

28:10

go up to him.

28:12

And is she with you here in LA Yes?

28:14

She is just just me and her out here.

28:16

Oh my goodness, the two of you came to

28:19

l A. Well, good luck to the both of you. I

28:21

tell you, now, tell me. You said

28:24

to our producers that your

28:26

biggest dream is providing for your mom.

28:29

Tell us a little bit about your mom.

28:32

So, my mom, we're Mexican. She's

28:34

from Chihuahua. She came to the US,

28:36

you know, for me and my sisters,

28:40

and like everyone they're

28:43

like that is a shia.

28:45

Like she got shoelas

28:48

I.

28:53

Guess.

28:56

So tell us she was a cultural

28:59

worker for a long time.

29:01

Yeah, she's in agriculture right now.

29:03

So she drives semi trucks.

29:05

So I'm from We're a very big potato producing

29:07

agriculture towns, So she hauls potatoes

29:09

from one town to another. Being

29:12

younger, she worked in the fields, like picking carrots,

29:15

lettuce, potatoes. And

29:17

then as we got older, my mom

29:19

really loved just driving semi so that's

29:21

what she tried to focus on.

29:23

And her my dad got their own company.

29:25

So they drive, you know, multiple semi trucks

29:27

to help farmers, you know, take

29:29

their potatoes wherever it is that they want to take them.

29:32

That is so amazing what

29:34

she's doing now. Tell us what kind of

29:36

an influence was she? Kind of dating advice

29:38

did she give you?

29:39

She always gave us advice that you

29:41

know, like it doesn't matter, you know what they

29:43

look like, what matters is how

29:45

they treat us, and she never wants

29:48

us to go after somebody that's like not good influence

29:50

or is not around the same path that

29:52

we're wanting to. But I think my

29:54

mom's biggest advice was she would always

29:56

say in Spanish. I think she's like,

29:58

no kind of bad to say.

30:03

I think with that advice, I think that

30:05

we know where that goes.

30:06

I think with that advice, that is the speed

30:08

date.

30:10

Grass yess Jasmine, we are looking

30:12
