00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.680
Hey, everyone. Good evening. Good evening. I'm just going to kick us off tonight and

2
00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:15.520
then Jackie's going to be joining us here in just a few moments. We're super excited

3
00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:20.560
to have you joining us tonight. I'm Bethany Cooper. If you all don't know me, I'm one

4
00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:25.680
of the team members in the community, and we're excited to feature several of our single

5
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:29.980
ladies in the community as well as several of our men. I want to also make sure that

6
00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:34.960
you know this week, this weekend, we have Prophetic Ministry Night coming up on Sunday

7
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:41.520
evening at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. We'd love to have you all join us for that time of ministry.

8
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:46.160
We come together as a community, and we have our prayer team and prophetic ministers that

9
00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:52.080
really lean into what is God saying to us for this community in this season. And so

10
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:57.240
we come and minister and really encourage our community on those evenings. And again,

11
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:02.960
that's this Sunday at 8 p.m. We hope that you will join us there. And then also, just

12
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.280
want to give you a heads up that we'll be doing Love Story on Thursday, the week after

13
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.320
that, that first week in April. We'll be putting the calendars out tomorrow, so you all will

14
00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:15.560
see them. But they're already in your events calendar, just so you all know. But the actual

15
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:20.160
screenshot will be coming out tomorrow, so you can make your plans for April. And we're

16
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:24.800
so glad that all of you are here. So I'm super excited tonight to show a couple of

17
00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:31.240
our ladies. I'm going to go ahead and kick off our ladies' section. And I'm not super

18
00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:35.840
familiar with a couple of them. They've been in the community for a while, but some of

19
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:43.120
them came in, I believe, even before I was here. And so I need to find Natalie Benson.

20
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:49.120
Natalie, I'm going to come to you first if you're here. Let me just look in here. Sorry,

21
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:56.880
y'all. I have to find them. And then, okay. Is Natalie here? I don't know why I'm not

22
00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:00.400
finding you. Let me just pin you now that you put your finger, your hand up. That helped

23
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:08.240
me so much. All right. So ladies, just as a reminder, before Natalie starts going, we're

24
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.880
going to keep them short, brief, and powerful. The ladies have two minutes to share. You

25
00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:18.280
want to share your name, your age, where you're from, and then some kind of fun fact about

26
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:23.160
yourself. Something that you think anybody in the community, the ladies and the guys,

27
00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:27.080
to help get to know you. And it's going to be a lot of fun. So Natalie, we would love

28
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.320
to hear from you. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

29
00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:36.680
Yeah. My name is Natalie Benson. I live in Austin, Texas. I am 50 years old and been

30
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:43.720
single five and a half years. Something, what was the last one?

31
00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:48.680
Something interesting about yourself or even just like a fun fact, maybe you've gone and

32
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:53.400
done something or traveled somewhere and you just think that people would enjoy getting

33
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.160
to know that about you. Okay. Yeah. So I've been to England nine

34
00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:05.560
times on missions trips. I work with several different organizations over there to help

35
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:11.880
bring young people back into the churches in England. And so I absolutely love that.

36
00:03:11.880 --> 00:03:16.680
I'm passionate about it. And I also like the ocean and swimming in lakes.

37
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.120
So what was your favorite thing in England? Was it a food or was there a place there that

38
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.640
was your favorite? Honestly, it doesn't matter where I was.

39
00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:34.760
It was the people. Whether I was in Wales or I did go up to Scotland as well. Just the

40
00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:42.360
people and the experiences that they have been through is just absolutely incredible.

41
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:48.360
They're all such overcomers and the history between Scotland and Ireland and England and

42
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.600
the contention that went on there and the wars that went on there. And people still

43
00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:57.640
carry some of that. And so to be able to bring freedom and encouragement to them, and also

44
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:03.800
to bridge the gap between the older generations that are in the churches there and the younger

45
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.680
generation who pretty much are not in the majority of the churches in England is really

46
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.160
amazing. That's so awesome, Natalie. And I can tell that you really love people and

47
00:04:13.160 --> 00:04:18.040
love serving them. One last thing. What's something you love to do for fun? And then

48
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.560
we're going to just so Michelle Stahl can be ready. Michelle, if you can raise your

49
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:26.040
hand so I can spotlight you next, that would be amazing. So what's something fun that you

50
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:33.880
enjoy doing, Natalie? I really love here in Texas walking the trails and

51
00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:45.000
like along the river, going in the river and tubing, driving down to the ocean in Houston

52
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.480
or even down further to South Padre Island. Those are things that I really enjoy doing.

53
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.680
That's so awesome. Natalie, thank you so much for sharing with us. It's been so good to get

54
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.880
to know you a little bit better tonight. All right. Do we have Michelle Stahl? Michelle, are you...

55
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.480
Here, if you are, can you raise your hand for us,

56
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.960
your digital hand?

57
00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:08.560
And then also, Carol Lim, if you can go ahead and put yours

58
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.360
up, Abby Zoe, Swarma, I'm sorry, Swarna,

59
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.040
put yours up for me as well.

60
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:16.680
OK, awesome.

61
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.800
Michelle, we would love to hear from you.

62
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.080
Tell us your name, your age, where you're from,

63
00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:26.000
something fun about yourself.

64
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.080
And then if that's a more serious thing,

65
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.360
what's something you do for fun?

66
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.440
OK, I'm Michelle Stahl.

67
00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:36.040
I live in Atlanta, Georgia, or just north of Atlanta.

68
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.240
I'm 46.

69
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.880
And let's see, something fun, I do a lot of things for fun.

70
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:45.080
I spend a lot of time with friends.

71
00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:46.520
I do like to ride bikes.

72
00:05:46.520 --> 00:05:47.240
I like to travel.

73
00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:55.680
And I guess spiritually, I have a heart for the nations.

74
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.720
I got to go to lunch with some South African friends today.

75
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.400
And on Friday, I'm throwing a dinner party

76
00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:04.760
for some Iranian friends to kind of raise

77
00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:06.120
awareness for their ministry.

78
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.240
So it should be a nice, good, fun time.

79
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.120
So I love doing that.

80
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.080
That's so good.

81
00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:16.320
So what's one of the most adventurous things

82
00:06:16.320 --> 00:06:16.960
you've ever done?

83
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.040
Gosh.

84
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:30.080
I went, I traveled to Honduras by myself.

85
00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:32.520
That was the first time I've ever traveled by myself.

86
00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:37.720
And I decided to do like other people have

87
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.720
shared to stay in a hostel.

88
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.480
So I paid $7 a night, stayed in a hostel,

89
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.120
and got to swim with the dolphins and go snorkeling.

90
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.920
I met people on the flight on the way down

91
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.560
that kind of embraced me and took me in.

92
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.360
So that was a lot of fun.

93
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.120
It was way out of my comfort zone at the time, so.

94
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:57.000
It sounds amazing.

95
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.240
Now, I don't know what it's like to live in a hostel,

96
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.560
but it sounds very adventurous.

97
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.760
And swimming with the dolphins and all of that

98
00:07:03.760 --> 00:07:05.080
sounds amazing as well.

99
00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:08.360
Thank you so much for sharing with us a little bit tonight.

100
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:09.840
We're so glad that you're here.

101
00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:10.960
And you look amazing.

102
00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:14.440
All of you are looking amazing tonight.

103
00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:16.720
Swerna would love to have you share

104
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.680
a little bit about yourself for all of us tonight as well.

105
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.360
Just remember to unmute yourself.

106
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:27.160
Hello.

107
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:27.680
There you go.

108
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.480
Hi.

109
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:29.920
Hi, I'm Swerna.

110
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.560
And I live in New Jersey.

111
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.160
And I'm 56 years old.

112
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.720
And yeah, a fun fact about me is that I've

113
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.680
learned about five to six languages in my lifetime

114
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.840
because of where I've lived.

115
00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:48.040
And I currently speak three languages.

116
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:49.800
And I could understand Spanish.

117
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.840
So languages are just a lot of fun for me.

118
00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:54.640
That's so great.

119
00:07:54.640 --> 00:07:58.000
So where somewhere, like, are you a big traveler?

120
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.120
Are you, you prefer to stay kind of closer to where you are?

121
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:03.520
What's something adventurous?

122
00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:05.320
Or tell us a little bit more about yourself.

123
00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:06.920
Yeah, for sure.

124
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:08.280
I love to travel.

125
00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:10.760
I've lived, I lived in Europe when I was younger.

126
00:08:10.760 --> 00:08:11.960
I'm originally from India.

127
00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:13.080
So I lived in India.

128
00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:14.000
Then we moved here.

129
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:14.960
Then we moved to Europe.

130
00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:19.080
So traveling has been a big part of my life.

131
00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:22.040
I've traveled to Africa.

132
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:27.040
I've been through India, through Europe, Central America,

133
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.520
all over the US.

134
00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:29.600
I've been really blessed.

135
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.040
I've traveled quite a bit.

136
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:32.080
Yeah.

137
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:32.679
So good.

138
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.600
So did you share your age already for us?

139
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.559
Yes, I'm 56.

140
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:38.480
She's 56.

141
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.080
Look at her amazing 56.

142
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.559
I would have never guessed that in a million years.

143
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.880
Praise God.

144
00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:45.160
Yeah, you look great.

145
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.720
So what is your favorite food?

146
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.640
Maybe somewhere, your favorite type of restaurant

147
00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:51.840
or somewhere you love to go.

148
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.600
Yes, I actually love all kinds of ethnic foods.

149
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:59.400
But I love Mediterranean food, Indian food, Thai food.

150
00:08:59.400 --> 00:09:02.400
Yeah, those are some of my favorites.

151
00:09:02.400 --> 00:09:03.880
So very diverse.

152
00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:04.400
I love it.

153
00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:06.040
Yes, absolutely.

154
00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:07.720
The more diverse, the better.

155
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:08.240
Awesome.

156
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:08.960
That's so awesome.

157
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.080
Hey, guys.

158
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:10.760
Hey, everybody.

159
00:09:10.760 --> 00:09:11.240
Hi.

160
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:11.760
Hi.

161
00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:12.280
How are you?

162
00:09:12.280 --> 00:09:12.800
I'm good.

163
00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:13.280
I'm good.

164
00:09:13.280 --> 00:09:13.800
How are you?

165
00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:14.280
I'm good.

166
00:09:14.280 --> 00:09:14.800
Hi, everybody.

167
00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:15.680
Hi.

168
00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:18.000
Now, I just saw Swarna in person.

169
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.920
And I can attest that that's not a filter.

170
00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:22.400
She looks amazing.

171
00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:24.480
She's at the Jersey Conference.

172
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.600
Raise your hand if you were at the Jersey Conference

173
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.960
or you watched it online.

174
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.240
I'm just now getting back, you guys, in town.

175
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.080
So that's why I have a hat on.

176
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.440
I haven't washed my hair in like three days.

177
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.360
And so God is good.

178
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.240
We made it back.

179
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.160
We are exhausted but full of all kinds

180
00:09:43.160 --> 00:09:45.240
of supernatural stuff.

181
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:45.720
OK.

182
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:46.720
Let me see your hands.

183
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.680
Just a handful of you.

184
00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:48.960
OK.

185
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:49.720
All right.

186
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.400
Awesome.

187
00:09:50.400 --> 00:09:51.360
OK.

188
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:55.720
What other ladies do we have to spotlight tonight, Bethany?

189
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.960
Abby has her hand up.

190
00:09:57.960 --> 00:09:59.560
So Abby still needs to go.

191
00:09:59.560 --> 00:10:01.120
And then.

192
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:12.040
And I'm Carol limb. I don't know. I asked her if she could put her hand up, but I'm not sure if maybe she's not here yet. Oh, there she is. So Abby and Carol Carol, put your hand back up for us. Okay, there you go.

193
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.400
All right, I got it.

194
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:14.520
Awesome. Right.

195
00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:22.560
Thank you so much, Bethany appreciate it. Bethany was covering for me until I got here and I am home. Now I just got home.

196
00:10:23.560 --> 00:10:35.240
Just like 10 minutes ago. All right, so let's go ahead and spotlight. Abby, who has her hand up, you guys make sure that you have your cameras on Carol and Abby.

197
00:10:36.680 --> 00:10:37.600
Hi, Abby.

198
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.280
Hello, Jackie. Hello, everyone.

199
00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:48.400
So what we want to know is just a few details about you few bio details and then something fun about you a little fun fact.

200
00:10:49.040 --> 00:11:04.360
Okay, sure. Um, so I'm 41 years old, and I'm never married. And I'm living in Columbus, Ohio now. And I'm doing campus ministry for international students. And also, I'm a counselor.

201
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:21.760
So some fun facts about me. I'm a very creative person. So I like to sing. I like to cook. Like if you give me materials, like if I go to your home, open your refrigerator, I probably can't make any food out of that, like the material.

202
00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:23.360
Yeah.

203
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:24.240
And

204
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:31.920
You can just make something just get in there and make something. That's awesome. What's your go to favorite thing to make, like just for yourself.

205
00:11:31.920 --> 00:11:33.840
Food for yourself. What's your go to

206
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.440
Always Chinese food, because I'm Chinese.

207
00:11:36.680 --> 00:11:38.440
What kind of Chinese food to me.

208
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.080
I don't know what that means.

209
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:49.720
Yeah, it's more like sweet and sour ones, not the spicy one because I grew up eating those food. Yeah, like sweet and sour ribs.

210
00:11:51.280 --> 00:11:56.200
My go to is chips with melted cheese in the microwave with sour cream and salsa.

211
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:04.800
Don't judge me, y'all. All right, so she can cook you guys. She can get in your fridge and make anything. What is how many countries have you been to

212
00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:09.400
Oh, I've been to seven countries.

213
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:18.280
Seven. Awesome. Yeah. And what's your favorite thing about working with international students. Do you work on Ohio State campus with international students.

214
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.920
Yeah, I do. I work with them for this is my 11th year.

215
00:12:21.920 --> 00:12:23.280
Yeah, it's been a while.

216
00:12:23.560 --> 00:12:25.400
Are you working with Phil

217
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:27.240
Yeah.

218
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:28.200
Oh my gosh.

219
00:12:28.880 --> 00:12:31.000
Phil introduced me to this program.

220
00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:36.080
Oh my gosh, that's awesome. Yeah, Phil's a good friend of mine. That's great. I love that.

221
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:36.800
Great co-worker.

222
00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:51.840
So for those of you that don't know Phil, Phil has run an international ministry on Ohio State campus for many, many years. They actually realized because Ohio State campus, Ohio State University, so many foreign students have come to Ohio State.

223
00:12:51.920 --> 00:12:57.520
Foreign students come in and then they would just feel lost. It'd be their first time in America, their first time away from home.

224
00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:05.400
Okay, so now they're, you know, they're in a country where they don't really speak the language that well, a lot of times, and they don't have any friends. They don't know anyone.

225
00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:17.360
And so my good friend, Phil started ministry many years ago, him and his beautiful wife of helping them feel at home, like bringing them into their home for dinners and having meetups and parties for the international students.

226
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:29.080
And that is what Abby is involved with. And that is so amazing because that is a life. Not only is that a game changer for those international students to feel at home in America, but a lot of them meet Jesus because of that ministry.

227
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:42.520
Yeah, I really love that because, you know, meeting nations just here and then share the gospel with them, disciple them, send them back. And I got to, I like to visit them in their country too.

228
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:44.520
Oh, that's incredible.

229
00:13:44.520 --> 00:13:52.920
And see how much impact they're making back home. It's really great. I actually just visit some of them in January.

230
00:13:53.840 --> 00:14:03.440
I love that. So you're probably open to an international match. You don't probably really care what nationality God brings your spirit mate in the package of, do you?

231
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:05.800
Yeah, I'm open.

232
00:14:06.040 --> 00:14:21.960
Yes. Awesome. All right. Well, you're beautiful inside and out. Thank you for joining us, Abby. We love what you're doing. And I know that there's people out there that want to know more about all these people that are being spotlighted, the ladies, and then the guys are coming next.

233
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:31.240
We want you to email us. We're going to keep reminding you of this at admin at JackieDorman.com. But only if you really truly think that you have

234
00:14:31.800 --> 00:14:52.680
synergy with that spotlight, like it's a true possibility of a match. Okay. It's important. Sometimes we get people emailing that are 20 years older, you know, that don't live, you know, that the person says they're really interested in a local match. And, you know, you live long distance, but you're just like, you know, wanting to throw your hat in the ring anyway.

235
00:14:52.920 --> 00:14:59.640
Guys, let's not do that because there's plenty of spotlights. We're going to be doing spotlights every month. And I'm going to start doing spotlights on my Instagram.

236
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.920
as well. And we started doing interviews with singles on my Instagram. And of course,

237
00:15:03.920 --> 00:15:08.720
everyone in last year single will have first dibs at introductions, even if it's on social media.

238
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:14.880
Okay. It doesn't matter where it happens. If you are in my program, you will be on Jackie's list,

239
00:15:14.880 --> 00:15:21.760
so to speak. And you will have first dibs on intros for people who you have compatibility

240
00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:28.240
with. But so you don't have to put your hat in the ring if it's really not an ideal situation.

241
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.600
But if you also feel your heart burning within you, that you really just need to meet that

242
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.200
person, even though you don't really fit what they said they're looking for, but you really

243
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:41.200
feel your heart burning. That's the criteria. Then yeah, you can go ahead and send us an email too,

244
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:46.400
because God sometimes does crazy stuff. In fact, God a lot of times does crazy stuff because God's

245
00:15:46.400 --> 00:15:52.240
a little crazy. All right. So thank you so much, Abby. We appreciate you. All right. Next and final

246
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:59.200
lady tonight, another lady that I have met in person many times, and actually I was going to

247
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:04.400
wear my hat tonight, Carol. I was going to wear my hat tonight, but I already had this hat on.

248
00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:12.320
Carol works for NBC, 30 Rock. She works for NBC and she got me an SNL 50 hat. She brought it to

249
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:18.080
the conference because SNL turned 50. It was born in 1975. Saturday Night Live is what I'm talking

250
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:24.720
about. And I was born in 1975. So she got me an SNL because we both turned 50, me and Saturday

251
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.840
Night Live. So Carol, I'm going to wear my hat. I'm going to rock it. Thank you so much.

252
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.040
I should have worn mine tonight.

253
00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:30.640
You should. We could have been twinning.

254
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.120
I know. It would have been great. All right. So tell the folks a little bit about yourself and

255
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:35.760
then something fun.

256
00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:43.760
So my name is Carol. I'm from New York. I'm 56. A fun fact is I tried out for the U.S. Open

257
00:16:43.760 --> 00:16:50.000
ball girl, but I didn't make it. It's not really fun. But so now I thought, well, I was competing

258
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:56.640
with much younger people. So, yeah, but it was, you know, it was interesting. So I wind up instead

259
00:16:56.640 --> 00:17:02.240
of not being a ball girl, I wind up going playing tennis. I play pickleball. Sometimes I go on

260
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:08.480
vacations. Like my theme is tennis. I went to the French Open with my friends and we went to the

261
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:15.359
Open, the tournament. I've been to three of the four Grand Slams. So Australia, France and U.S.

262
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:20.640
So wow. I'm missing the one in London, the Wimbledon. Yeah, I haven't gone to that one yet,

263
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.400
but that's my bucket list.

264
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:27.359
All right. So who wants to go to Wimbledon with Carol? Because that is the next stop for this.

265
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.720
I know that because you work in the 30 Rock building and you work for NBC,

266
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.400
everyone wants to know, like, what's who's the most famous person you've ever met?

267
00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:40.960
Absolutely. I see a lot of news people. It's hard to meet like the celebrities from SNL,

268
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:47.360
but I did see, was it Kenny G, the saxophone player? Getting in the elevator and, you know,

269
00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:53.360
he has that curly hair. Yeah, he does. But I see a lot of news people because I guess they work

270
00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:56.960
during the day. And when I, you know, sometimes you'll see some in the cafeteria because we share

271
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:03.200
the same cafeteria. Yeah, yeah. Have you ever seen Jimmy Fallon? Not yet. I'm hoping.

272
00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:12.960
Run right into him. Run right into him. Yeah. Okay. All right. So tell us how old you are.

273
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.080
And obviously you live in New York city. What borough do you live in?

274
00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:20.880
Well, I live in Staten Island, but I'm in the area all the time because I work in Midtown.

275
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:25.120
Right. You work in Midtown and how old are you? 56.

276
00:18:25.120 --> 00:18:31.280
And have you ever been married? No. All right. And what are some besides tennis?

277
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:37.520
What else do you love? I love to travel too as well. I love to travel to like the famous

278
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.920
Rocky mountains. I like anything mountains, anything rocks. I've been to the Rocky mountains,

279
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:47.680
the Blue Ridge mountain. I think what was the other mountain? I can't think of the mountain.

280
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:54.000
Appalachian mountains? Not yet. That's my next one. But I love just the nature, right? And what

281
00:18:54.000 --> 00:19:01.040
God created. Yeah. Just amazing. Yeah. So that's what I like to do. Just travel anywhere. Like,

282
00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:06.080
all those landmarks. That's what I want to hit. I want to basically hit all of the USA right now.

283
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:11.200
All of the USA. How many States do you have left? I've been to a lot of States. I think I've been

284
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:17.520
to like 40 States at least. Yeah. Think about 40. So maybe I have like 10 left. So yeah. Yeah.

285
00:19:17.520 --> 00:19:22.000
Like you same similar. I have some rando States that I don't know that I'm ever going to get to,

286
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.160
though. Like, you know, I mean, I'm not sure if I'm going to get to the Dakotas. I haven't been

287
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:32.560
to either Dakota. So yeah, I haven't been to Idaho. I'm not sure I have a lot to do there.

288
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:36.560
You know, I haven't been to any, you know, where I really want to go.

289
00:19:37.360 --> 00:19:43.200
I, we should do a last trip single to the Northeast, like Vermont and up. So I'd love

290
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:47.920
to go to, I've never been to Massachusetts. I've never been to Maine. I'd love to go to Maine.

291
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.400
Maine is beautiful. I don't know how I've not been there. Like do a lighthouse tour or something.

292
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.600
I think that would be amazing. I mean, of course we'd go in the summer. Cause I don't like cold.

293
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.920
I haven't been to Alaska also the summer, summertime front.

294
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.840
in the cold States, but yeah, no, I'm with you.

295
00:20:03.840 --> 00:20:04.680
All right.

296
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:08.360
So she wants to see all of the U S and that would be super

297
00:20:08.360 --> 00:20:09.360
fun and awesome.

298
00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:10.180
All right.

299
00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:11.560
So Carol, thank you for joining us.

300
00:20:11.560 --> 00:20:13.820
And I think that's it for all of our ladies, ladies.

301
00:20:13.820 --> 00:20:16.880
Thank you so much for coming and being brave.

302
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:21.660
I know that it's a little bit hairy to get put on the spot,

303
00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:22.500
right?

304
00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:23.640
It is, but you know what?

305
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:25.680
It's the love seat, not the hot seat.

306
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:28.040
And so now we have a bunch of guys that we want to spotlight

307
00:20:28.040 --> 00:20:28.880
for you guys tonight.

308
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:30.640
We're going to try to be off by the hour.

309
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:31.480
Okay.

310
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:33.640
I know sometimes single spotlights runs over.

311
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:35.520
So get your questions ready for these guys.

312
00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:38.120
Cause we're going to turn them and burn them tonight

313
00:20:38.120 --> 00:20:38.960
for two reasons.

314
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.800
Number one, last time single spotlights went two hours.

315
00:20:41.800 --> 00:20:44.560
And also I've been traveling all day.

316
00:20:44.560 --> 00:20:45.800
So those are the two reasons.

317
00:20:45.800 --> 00:20:46.960
And those are fun reasons.

318
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.800
I got to tell you guys something.

319
00:20:48.800 --> 00:20:52.800
I, God is on the move.

320
00:20:52.800 --> 00:20:55.200
This singles conference that we're at New York city,

321
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:58.440
New Jersey, that area, God is doing incredible things.

322
00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.960
God has been speaking.

323
00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:01.920
And I just really, I have a word for you guys.

324
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:04.520
So I was, I was seeing one of our success stories

325
00:21:05.840 --> 00:21:07.600
that after I was done with the conference,

326
00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:10.120
I got together with one of our success stories

327
00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:14.240
from the New York city conferences for dinner.

328
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.160
So she came out, had dinner with us.

329
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:19.160
Her name is Megan and she's getting married in June.

330
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.200
And when we were having dinner,

331
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.760
somehow the conversation turned to jury duty.

332
00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:27.200
Raise your hand if you've ever been called for jury duty.

333
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:28.040
Let's see those.

334
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:33.080
Let's see the avatar hands, avatar hands up, up, up, up.

335
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:35.320
Okay.

336
00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:36.720
Quite a few of you.

337
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:37.560
All right.

338
00:21:37.560 --> 00:21:39.440
So anyway, she was talking about,

339
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.080
I don't know how the subject came up.

340
00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:42.920
My daughter and her husband were with us.

341
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.360
And somehow the three of them started talking

342
00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:47.080
about jury duty.

343
00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:50.240
And Megan started talking about some case

344
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:51.600
that she was on for jury duty.

345
00:21:51.600 --> 00:21:53.400
And she's been called more than once.

346
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.440
And when she said that she'd been called more than once,

347
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.360
I said, I've never been called for jury duty.

348
00:21:59.360 --> 00:22:01.480
I said, I've never been chosen for jury duty.

349
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.320
I've never been picked the lottery, whatever.

350
00:22:04.320 --> 00:22:06.080
Not that I want to be, I wasn't saying,

351
00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:07.920
oh, I want to be picked for jury duty.

352
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.200
But I was just saying out loud, oh, that's interesting.

353
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.880
You have had this happen to you more than once

354
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:17.800
and I've never had it happen at all, right?

355
00:22:17.800 --> 00:22:19.720
You guys, I just got home.

356
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:20.960
That was two days ago.

357
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.480
What's in my mailbox, but a call to jury duty.

358
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.040
No, listen, it's really important

359
00:22:26.040 --> 00:22:27.560
that you guys listen up to this

360
00:22:27.560 --> 00:22:29.720
because I felt like the Lord said in my spirit

361
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:31.440
that people that have never been picked

362
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:32.960
are about to get picked.

363
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.560
Now we can all laugh at me actually making it onto a jury

364
00:22:35.560 --> 00:22:37.160
because we know that once they question me,

365
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.440
there's no way they're going to choose me

366
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:39.840
and that's fine with me.

367
00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:41.480
All right, because I'm going to tell the whole truth

368
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:42.480
and nothing but the truth.

369
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:43.440
So help me God.

370
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:46.240
And they're going to be like, oh, no, this one out.

371
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:50.040
So the bottom line is, is that I know this is not an accident.

372
00:22:50.040 --> 00:22:52.880
Literally two days ago, I was saying I've never been picked.

373
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.000
And then two days later, here we are.

374
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:57.840
Woo-hoo, Hunger Games.

375
00:22:57.840 --> 00:23:00.120
I'm not volunteering as tribute for this,

376
00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:02.600
but I just want to let you guys know

377
00:23:02.600 --> 00:23:06.960
that that is something that's shifting in the spirit.

378
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.600
So if you feel left out, if you feel left behind,

379
00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:11.320
if you feel like you've never been chosen,

380
00:23:11.320 --> 00:23:13.520
never been picked, okay?

381
00:23:13.520 --> 00:23:14.960
If you feel like you're invisible,

382
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.920
if you feel like you don't exist,

383
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:18.360
your address is unlisted.

384
00:23:18.360 --> 00:23:20.160
Remember back in the olden days?

385
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:23.280
Raise your hand if you remember when phone numbers

386
00:23:23.280 --> 00:23:26.720
and addresses were in a big book called the phone book

387
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.760
and you could actually pay money to have yours unlisted

388
00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:33.160
so that rando people couldn't just show up at your house

389
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:34.640
or find your phone number.

390
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:37.680
Okay, so we're all that many years old, aren't we?

391
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:40.760
Okay, so if you have felt like your address

392
00:23:40.760 --> 00:23:43.200
or your phone number was unlisted, well, guess what?

393
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.280
You've just become published.

394
00:23:45.280 --> 00:23:46.400
You've just become published.

395
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:48.640
And so we released that in the spirit realm.

396
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.040
The fruition of that word, that is not a coincidence.

397
00:23:51.040 --> 00:23:52.080
That is supernatural.

398
00:23:52.080 --> 00:23:54.040
And God is talking to us and he is telling us,

399
00:23:54.040 --> 00:23:55.640
hey, I know where you live.

400
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.480
I know who you are.

401
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:57.320
I know where you are.

402
00:23:57.320 --> 00:23:58.320
I know what you need.

403
00:23:58.320 --> 00:24:00.520
And I know how to get it to you.

404
00:24:00.520 --> 00:24:03.280
I know how to get it to you in Jesus name.

405
00:24:03.280 --> 00:24:05.400
All right, so we're gonna start spotlighting our guys.

406
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:08.440
If you don't recognize some of these guys from community,

407
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:10.760
it's because they're private clients.

408
00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:13.200
I always tell you all, don't worry about the men.

409
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.600
I know where they live, literally, okay?

410
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:19.120
And so we are going to start tonight

411
00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:21.000
just in my list and go down.

412
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:24.000
I know that one of these gentlemen

413
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.280
needs to get out of here quick

414
00:24:25.280 --> 00:24:27.760
because he's got something else going on tonight.

415
00:24:27.760 --> 00:24:30.840
And so we're gonna see if we can get him up first.

416
00:24:30.840 --> 00:24:32.240
All right.

417
00:24:34.840 --> 00:24:36.640
So get your questions ready, ladies.

418
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.240
All right, George, we need you, not your picture.

419
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:42.080
Hi.

420
00:24:43.840 --> 00:24:45.280
All right, let me figure this out

421
00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:49.880
because I'm not always tech-savvy here, so maybe-

422
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:50.720
Just trying to get there.

423
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:53.800
Oh, well, now you're a picture in a picture.

424
00:24:53.800 --> 00:24:55.440
It's okay, it's good.

425
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:58.040
All right, so George, same thing as the ladies,

426
00:24:58.040 --> 00:24:59.360
just a quick bio.

427
00:24:59.360 --> 00:25:00.200
How are you?

428
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.840
Where do you live?

429
00:25:00.840 --> 00:25:01.800
Have you ever been married?

430
00:25:01.800 --> 00:25:03.080
Do you have any kids?

431
00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:05.040
And a fun fact,

432
00:25:05.040 --> 00:25:07.880
and then we'll let the ladies ask a couple questions.

433
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:09.960
Okay, things are going good.

434
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:13.880
I just got through some transitions recently,

435
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:15.560
but God's been faithful

436
00:25:15.560 --> 00:25:19.000
and has put me in a good place now.

437
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:21.320
And I'm 50 years old

438
00:25:21.320 --> 00:25:25.140
and just moved back to the Portland, Oregon area.

439
00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:28.340
And I am a special education teacher.

440
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:30.960
Right now, currently we're working

441
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.260
in the Salem-Kaiser School District.

442
00:25:33.260 --> 00:25:38.260
And I don't know what else you want me to expand on, Jackie,

443
00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:39.260
but that's it.

444
00:25:39.260 --> 00:25:40.220
What region do you live in?

445
00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:41.300
Can you repeat that?

446
00:25:41.300 --> 00:25:43.520
I'm in Portland, Oregon.

447
00:25:43.520 --> 00:25:45.500
Okay, and how old are you?

448
00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:46.320
50.

449
00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:48.260
And how old are your kids?

450
00:25:48.260 --> 00:25:49.780
16 and 14.

451
00:25:49.780 --> 00:25:50.620
They live with,

452
00:25:51.620 --> 00:25:54.540
but we have a good parenting plan for our distance.

453
00:25:54.540 --> 00:25:55.640
We get along well.

454
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.200
Okay, so George lives in Portland, y'all.

455
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.800
He's 50 years young.

456
00:26:00.800 --> 00:26:03.760
He works in education, all right?

457
00:26:03.760 --> 00:26:06.320
And so what questions do you guys have for George?

458
00:26:06.320 --> 00:26:07.840
George is part of last year's single.

459
00:26:07.840 --> 00:26:09.280
I'm sure you guys have seen him around

460
00:26:09.280 --> 00:26:11.280
at prayer calls and different things.

461
00:26:11.280 --> 00:26:12.120
Someone's saying,

462
00:26:12.120 --> 00:26:14.500
hey, I used to teach and live in Portland as well.

463
00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:15.860
Portland's a cool city.

464
00:26:15.860 --> 00:26:17.400
Guys, the city that David and I come from

465
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:18.880
is Columbus, Ohio.

466
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:20.640
And Columbus and Portland and Austin

467
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:22.360
are often called sister cities

468
00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:24.780
because they have so many of the same elements.

469
00:26:24.780 --> 00:26:26.300
They have colleges.

470
00:26:26.300 --> 00:26:27.680
They have green belts.

471
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:31.780
They have really progressive, creative communities in them.

472
00:26:31.780 --> 00:26:33.460
Willing to relocate, Rachel.

473
00:26:33.460 --> 00:26:35.700
Well, he has children that are minors,

474
00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:37.060
so he cannot relocate.

475
00:26:38.540 --> 00:26:42.940
So his kids are 14 and 16, if you guys missed that.

476
00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:44.520
And he has a shared planning plan,

477
00:26:44.520 --> 00:26:46.420
so we're gonna keep him near his kids

478
00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:48.340
because that's really important.

479
00:26:48.340 --> 00:26:51.460
All right, someone wants to know

480
00:26:51.780 --> 00:26:54.980
what was your favorite place to travel to?

481
00:26:56.260 --> 00:26:59.820
I went on my first cruise this last summer to Alaska

482
00:26:59.820 --> 00:27:01.500
for my 50th, Jackie.

483
00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:02.340
Wow.

484
00:27:02.340 --> 00:27:03.500
Turned 50 as well,

485
00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:07.980
and so it's now that I have the taste of the travel bug,

486
00:27:07.980 --> 00:27:09.460
I wanna go back to Alaska,

487
00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:10.940
but I've been up to Canada.

488
00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:13.060
I haven't really traveled internationally,

489
00:27:13.060 --> 00:27:14.660
but I'd like to.

490
00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:18.060
And with mostly having the summers off,

491
00:27:18.060 --> 00:27:19.780
I'm able to do that.

492
00:27:19.780 --> 00:27:21.100
I just haven't done it.

493
00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:23.660
Okay, yeah, it sounds like you like the beautiful place.

494
00:27:23.660 --> 00:27:25.620
Canada's beautiful, Alaska's beautiful.

495
00:27:25.620 --> 00:27:27.380
Both places, in my opinion, are cold,

496
00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:29.780
but also beautiful, which is good.

497
00:27:29.780 --> 00:27:31.600
And so someone wants to know

498
00:27:31.600 --> 00:27:33.740
what age do you teach right now?

499
00:27:33.740 --> 00:27:36.140
High school, high school special education.

500
00:27:36.140 --> 00:27:38.540
Special education, high school.

501
00:27:38.540 --> 00:27:40.300
And someone else wants to know,

502
00:27:40.300 --> 00:27:41.660
are you open to long distance

503
00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:43.980
until there would be a connection?

504
00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:45.780
I am, yes.

505
00:27:45.780 --> 00:27:48.940
Okay, and then also, what do you do for fun?

506
00:27:49.940 --> 00:27:51.260
I like to hike.

507
00:27:52.020 --> 00:27:53.020
Here in the Pacific Northwest,

508
00:27:53.020 --> 00:27:54.980
we are known for our hiking,

509
00:27:54.980 --> 00:27:56.660
and so I like to get out,

510
00:27:56.660 --> 00:27:57.740
I like to be on the river,

511
00:27:57.740 --> 00:27:59.660
I like to be on the ocean.

512
00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:02.460
And so those, you know,

513
00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:05.380
in terms of just being physical and activities,

514
00:28:05.380 --> 00:28:08.060
hiking has become really a hobby of mine,

515
00:28:08.060 --> 00:28:10.420
and I like to fish.

516
00:28:10.420 --> 00:28:12.500
Okay, what kind of fish?

517
00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:14.140
Do you like fly fishing?

518
00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:15.780
Yeah, I, no.

519
00:28:15.780 --> 00:28:17.020
I tried fly fishing once,

520
00:28:17.020 --> 00:28:20.740
and I never got, I never took to it.

521
00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:24.420
Do you like a woman who likes fly fishing?

522
00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:26.500
Yeah.

523
00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:29.700
It's not a trick question.

524
00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:33.980
Okay, have you ever been to Olympia National Park?

525
00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:36.420
You know, it's, being from the Northwest,

526
00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:38.740
you'd think I'd have gone up there,

527
00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:39.580
and I have not,

528
00:28:39.580 --> 00:28:41.980
but it's just a couple hours up the road from me.

529
00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:44.860
But I know all about it,

530
00:28:44.860 --> 00:28:46.780
I just haven't been there.

531
00:28:46.780 --> 00:28:50.900
Okay, and last question,

532
00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:53.460
are you open to someone who has children as well

533
00:28:53.460 --> 00:28:55.020
that lives locally to you?

534
00:28:55.020 --> 00:28:56.060
Absolutely.

535
00:28:56.060 --> 00:28:57.460
Okay, awesome.

536
00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:59.460
Well, George, thank you so much for joining us.

537
00:28:59.460 --> 00:29:00.780
We appreciate you being spotlighted.

538
00:29:00.780 --> 00:29:02.180
If you guys wanna know more about George,

539
00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:03.980
you think that you have synergy,

540
00:29:03.980 --> 00:29:05.940
that you would be compatible to George

541
00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:07.700
or a possible connection,

542
00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:09.420
introduction, then email us,

543
00:29:09.420 --> 00:29:14.420
and just put George in the subject line of your email.

544
00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:16.340
Now, ladies and gentlemen,

545
00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:18.500
if you email in about a spotlight,

546
00:29:18.500 --> 00:29:20.180
if you do not put the,

547
00:29:20.180 --> 00:29:21.700
if you do not, first of all,

548
00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:24.020
put the person's name in the subject line, all right?

549
00:29:24.020 --> 00:29:25.740
Spotlight in their name.

550
00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:29.220
Also, make sure that you send us your bio

551
00:29:29.220 --> 00:29:31.020
and pictures in that email.

552
00:29:31.020 --> 00:29:34.060
Any emails that come in to request information

553
00:29:34.060 --> 00:29:37.300
about a spotlight that do not contain emails and bios,

554
00:29:37.300 --> 00:29:39.700
we are just gonna put in the trash, okay?

555
00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:42.060
And the reason why is because we do not have the manpower

556
00:29:42.060 --> 00:29:44.460
to go and search you out and find you.

557
00:29:44.460 --> 00:29:46.740
We need you to give us that information ahead of time.

558
00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:47.620
All right?

559
00:29:47.620 --> 00:29:49.460
So if you don't,

560
00:29:49.460 --> 00:29:51.140
and you won't get a response necessarily,

561
00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:52.860
let me remind you of that as well.

562
00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:56.940
If you send in wanting information about a spotlight

563
00:29:56.940 --> 00:29:59.220
and you'll get an initial response saying,

564
00:29:59.220 --> 00:30:00.060
hey, we received-

565
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.840
your information and we'll let you know if there's a possible introduction.

566
00:30:03.840 --> 00:30:06.960
We'll let you know if we can take this the next step to an introduction.

567
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.480
If we do not get back to you, don't keep emailing us about it.

568
00:30:10.520 --> 00:30:10.920
All right.

569
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:12.380
We're trying to make an introduction.

570
00:30:12.380 --> 00:30:14.280
If we can make one, we will make one.

571
00:30:14.280 --> 00:30:14.720
All right.

572
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.680
Promise you, promise you.

573
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:18.000
We want to do that for you.

574
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:19.120
That's why we do this.

575
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:19.920
All right.

576
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:22.200
So if it's possible to do it, then we will do it.

577
00:30:22.560 --> 00:30:22.840
All right.

578
00:30:22.840 --> 00:30:27.240
Next up in the guys, Peter, Peter Hahn.

579
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:28.020
Welcome.

580
00:30:28.040 --> 00:30:28.760
Hi, Peter.

581
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:31.680
Hi, sorry.

582
00:30:31.760 --> 00:30:33.160
Let me try to, all right.

583
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:35.120
Are you in Austin right now?

584
00:30:35.360 --> 00:30:36.520
I am actually.

585
00:30:37.280 --> 00:30:37.680
Awesome.

586
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:38.080
Awesome.

587
00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:38.360
Okay.

588
00:30:38.360 --> 00:30:41.320
So Peter, same, same song and dance.

589
00:30:41.320 --> 00:30:43.600
We're going to ask you a few bio questions.

590
00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:44.760
You know, how old are you?

591
00:30:44.760 --> 00:30:45.680
Where are you from?

592
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.920
Tell us a little bit about your background and a fun fact.

593
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:49.560
Sure.

594
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:50.920
Uh, my name is Peter.

595
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:55.440
I split time between Austin and LA, although I spent half

596
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:56.800
of my time on the plane, honestly.

597
00:30:57.280 --> 00:31:02.640
I am a startup executive and also an angel investor, really focusing

598
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:06.400
more on the investments, both domestic and international.

599
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:09.560
Uh, I am 48 years old, never been married.

600
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.280
Uh, fun fact, geez.

601
00:31:13.040 --> 00:31:16.080
I have lived in 20 plus cities.

602
00:31:16.800 --> 00:31:18.080
I guess that's a fun fact.

603
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:19.520
Yeah, it does.

604
00:31:19.520 --> 00:31:22.840
It doesn't sound that fun, but what's your favorite city that you lived in?

605
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.760
It's not my favorite, but it's home.

606
00:31:25.760 --> 00:31:28.680
I lived in New York for about 12 years.

607
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:33.320
So if you live in one city for that long, it essentially becomes home.

608
00:31:33.320 --> 00:31:35.200
It's the longest I've ever lived in one place.

609
00:31:35.320 --> 00:31:36.760
Did you live in Manhattan?

610
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:37.800
I did.

611
00:31:37.840 --> 00:31:40.320
There was a season where I tried to live in Brooklyn.

612
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:41.160
Wasn't that fun?

613
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:42.280
Okay.

614
00:31:42.360 --> 00:31:42.600
Yeah.

615
00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:43.560
I love hipsters.

616
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:45.080
So I love New York.

617
00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:45.640
I love it.

618
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.360
We just spent most of our time, um, in lower Manhattan.

619
00:31:49.360 --> 00:31:53.800
So places I haven't been before in Soho and in the village in Greenwich.

620
00:31:53.840 --> 00:31:54.680
And I loved it.

621
00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:55.560
It was so fun.

622
00:31:56.280 --> 00:31:58.040
So New York, the New York life.

623
00:31:58.080 --> 00:31:58.440
Okay.

624
00:31:58.440 --> 00:31:59.800
So what else do you do for fun?

625
00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:00.800
People are asking.

626
00:32:01.120 --> 00:32:02.520
Oh, let's see.

627
00:32:02.520 --> 00:32:06.000
I'm a big hiker when I am in Austin, uh, or in California.

628
00:32:06.560 --> 00:32:07.600
I love to ski.

629
00:32:07.840 --> 00:32:09.080
Uh, I read a lot.

630
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:15.920
I am a, well, I am a writer and a musician in my spare time.

631
00:32:16.760 --> 00:32:17.200
All right.

632
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:20.880
Creative writer or creative or nonfiction.

633
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:21.360
Okay.

634
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:23.880
And because you said you're a reader now, people want to

635
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:25.280
know what's your favorite book.

636
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.360
I mean, aside from the Bible,

637
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:35.200
well, geez, there's so many, uh, invisible man, Ralph Ellison is a good one.

638
00:32:35.800 --> 00:32:38.480
Uh, I used to read great Gatsby every year.

639
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:42.760
Uh, anything by Vladimir Novikov, I would say.

640
00:32:42.840 --> 00:32:47.360
And what really pisses me off is English is a second language and he writes in

641
00:32:47.360 --> 00:32:48.720
English better than I could ever write.

642
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:51.280
That's awesome.

643
00:32:51.280 --> 00:32:51.520
Okay.

644
00:32:51.520 --> 00:32:55.360
So you guys, if you knew any of those authors, then you could possibly be a

645
00:32:55.360 --> 00:33:00.160
match for Peter, um, because I have read some of those books, but a lot of people

646
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.000
don't like to read anymore is what I've been told.

647
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:04.000
People are like, Jackie, put your books on audible.

648
00:33:04.040 --> 00:33:05.280
Why we don't like to read.

649
00:33:05.600 --> 00:33:07.200
Um, so Peter likes to read.

650
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.120
Um, so someone's asking something fun.

651
00:33:10.120 --> 00:33:10.600
Let's see.

652
00:33:10.600 --> 00:33:13.280
What's the worst foe hipster thing you've ever noticed.

653
00:33:15.320 --> 00:33:17.160
I wouldn't say it's anything in particular.

654
00:33:17.280 --> 00:33:20.480
The worst thing about the foe hipsters are that they're not actually

655
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.240
creatives, they're imitating the creative.

656
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.280
So what usually happens in neighborhoods is that the artists move in first, they

657
00:33:27.280 --> 00:33:31.160
make it cool and then the bankers, and I am an ex investment banker, so I can say

658
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:37.840
this, uh, move in and try to adopt the mannerisms and the styles of the artists.

659
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.320
So then the neighborhood goes downhill.

660
00:33:40.320 --> 00:33:41.440
That's kind of been the problem.

661
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:44.920
Cause I still have a place in Venice beach and that's essentially what's

662
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:45.960
been happening there as well.

663
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:46.960
Yeah.

664
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:50.680
You know, I heard when I was in New York that, you know, some of the places where

665
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:54.480
creatives were gathering, like Soho house and stuff, that, that is not a thing anymore.

666
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:55.320
That the creative

667
00:33:57.320 --> 00:34:02.120
I mean, that's a longer discussion, but Soho house, once they decide to go

668
00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:06.680
public, it makes no sense because the whole model is around exclusivity and

669
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:10.520
around the arts, but once you're a public company, you actually, in order to grow,

670
00:34:10.520 --> 00:34:11.920
you need to have more members.

671
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:16.040
So you actually reduce the exclusivity and the desire that people really wanted

672
00:34:16.040 --> 00:34:18.239
to be there initially to actually show up.

673
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:20.880
So creative, creative communities are dying.

674
00:34:21.120 --> 00:34:22.639
And so we need to forge some new ones.

675
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:23.320
How about Austin?

676
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:25.080
I know that you've come here for that reason.

677
00:34:25.080 --> 00:34:26.000
And so have I.

678
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:31.600
So Peter has a desire to stoke the fires of entrepreneurialism here in

679
00:34:31.600 --> 00:34:33.560
Austin and creative community.

680
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.960
And so do we, and that's part of the reason why Peter and I know each other.

681
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:42.679
And so Peter, are you, um, are you open to long distance

682
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:44.159
dating until there's connection?

683
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:49.520
Yes, but fully Trent to be fully transparent.

684
00:34:49.520 --> 00:34:50.719
I'm terrible at distance.

685
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:51.639
I'm much better.

686
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.960
Uh, if you're in person, my whole day is spent.

687
00:34:56.520 --> 00:34:59.080
And as soon as I get out of this, I got to hop on another one.

688
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.420
work Zoom call because I got to call Asia.

689
00:35:02.420 --> 00:35:06.620
So my whole day is spent on Zooms and phone conversations.

690
00:35:06.620 --> 00:35:09.780
And honestly, the last thing I want to do at 8 p.m.

691
00:35:09.780 --> 00:35:11.860
9 p.m. is hop on another one.

692
00:35:11.860 --> 00:35:12.700
So.

693
00:35:12.700 --> 00:35:13.800
Oh, that's completely fair.

694
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:15.280
You guys, these are the questions.

695
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.700
This is the transparency that is necessary.

696
00:35:17.700 --> 00:35:20.820
We have to be honest about our capacity.

697
00:35:20.820 --> 00:35:22.700
We have to be honest about our capacity.

698
00:35:22.700 --> 00:35:24.280
So right now Peter's in a season

699
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:26.160
where he's just coming to Austin

700
00:35:26.160 --> 00:35:28.240
and he wants to meet someone local.

701
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.440
So he splits his time between LA and Austin,

702
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:32.120
mostly Austin right now.

703
00:35:32.120 --> 00:35:36.040
And so if you know anyone in the greater Austin area.

704
00:35:37.820 --> 00:35:38.920
Sorry guys, we have.

705
00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:44.840
Make sure you keep your phone muted y'all.

706
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:48.140
Okay, so if you know anyone in the greater Austin area,

707
00:35:48.140 --> 00:35:49.480
that would include San Antonio,

708
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:52.840
anything within just a few hours drive of here,

709
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:54.120
even if it's not you.

710
00:35:54.120 --> 00:35:56.520
And this goes for all of our spotlights.

711
00:35:56.520 --> 00:35:58.320
You guys, what you help make happen for others,

712
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:00.160
God makes happen for you.

713
00:36:00.160 --> 00:36:01.840
And so if you want to play matchmaker

714
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:03.320
and you want to help us play matchmaker,

715
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:05.240
you want to help God play matchmaker,

716
00:36:05.240 --> 00:36:09.160
then you can also send in inquiry

717
00:36:09.160 --> 00:36:11.100
and give someone else's information,

718
00:36:11.100 --> 00:36:12.960
obviously with their permission.

719
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:14.620
And we would love for you to do that.

720
00:36:14.620 --> 00:36:16.480
All right, any other questions for Peter

721
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:17.840
before we let Peter go?

722
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:18.680
And some of these guys.

723
00:36:18.680 --> 00:36:20.200
I do spend a lot of time in New York as well.

724
00:36:20.200 --> 00:36:21.040
So I am open to that.

725
00:36:21.040 --> 00:36:22.600
New York as well.

726
00:36:22.600 --> 00:36:25.080
New York, LA and Austin.

727
00:36:25.080 --> 00:36:27.120
Okay, so if you are local to any of those places

728
00:36:27.120 --> 00:36:29.120
or you know someone that should meet Peter

729
00:36:29.120 --> 00:36:33.840
in any of those places, please send us a message.

730
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:34.680
Let me see.

731
00:36:34.680 --> 00:36:36.320
Looking, looking, looking, looking.

732
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:39.640
Okay, and also some of these guys like Peter and Wes,

733
00:36:39.640 --> 00:36:41.040
who I'm going to interview next.

734
00:36:41.040 --> 00:36:42.480
So get ready, Wes.

735
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.840
I'm going to be actually doing some IG interviews

736
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:47.920
with them as well on my Insta stories.

737
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:50.440
All right, so you'll get to hear more from them then.

738
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:52.280
All right, Peter, thanks for coming.

739
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:53.120
It was a pleasure.

740
00:36:53.120 --> 00:36:54.720
Hop off and we'll see you soon.

741
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:56.200
Thanks so much.

742
00:36:56.200 --> 00:36:57.040
Take care.

743
00:36:58.160 --> 00:36:59.000
All right.

744
00:37:03.640 --> 00:37:04.840
I don't know if George is still here,

745
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:05.920
but George, if you're still here,

746
00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:07.040
you can also put in the chat

747
00:37:07.040 --> 00:37:10.160
because no one asked you kind of what you're looking for.

748
00:37:10.160 --> 00:37:12.000
I know you said you're open to long distance,

749
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:14.360
but you might give a little bit more information

750
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:18.000
of what kind of connection are you looking for?

751
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:20.840
And we'll make sure that we're asking that, right?

752
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:25.480
So you guys, and opposites, complimentary opposites

753
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:27.480
attract and they're good together.

754
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:30.880
I love, if I'm matchmaking, that's the kind of match I like.

755
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:32.560
And so let's take Peter, for instance.

756
00:37:32.560 --> 00:37:35.880
You know, Peter is, you know, can be a fun guy.

757
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:38.280
He's, you know, all business sometimes

758
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:39.520
when I've talked to him before,

759
00:37:39.520 --> 00:37:41.960
and maybe you're getting that vibe from him right now

760
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:43.160
because that's what he does.

761
00:37:43.160 --> 00:37:44.440
You know, he's got a big job.

762
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:46.640
He's got, you know, something that he's doing

763
00:37:46.640 --> 00:37:50.040
that requires there to be an element of sophistication.

764
00:37:50.040 --> 00:37:52.760
But you know what's gonna be a really good match for Peter

765
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.800
is someone who helps him let his hair down.

766
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:57.960
So if you're fun, you know,

767
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.600
then you're gonna bring out the fun side of Peter, right?

768
00:38:00.600 --> 00:38:02.800
He doesn't necessarily need a boss, babe.

769
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:03.840
He's already a boss.

770
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:05.800
Not that he wouldn't like a strong, powerful woman,

771
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:08.800
but you gotta, you know, have personalities

772
00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:12.280
that go together, that bring out the best in each other

773
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:16.080
and allow each other to really decompress

774
00:38:16.080 --> 00:38:19.560
from whatever it is that we're doing with our lives, right?

775
00:38:19.560 --> 00:38:22.320
Like David, my husband, very funny.

776
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:23.440
I'm funny.

777
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:27.080
You know, we have a lot of fun, a lot of fun,

778
00:38:27.080 --> 00:38:28.240
but we know how to do things

779
00:38:28.240 --> 00:38:29.520
that each other don't know how to do.

780
00:38:29.520 --> 00:38:31.040
I do things that he can't do.

781
00:38:31.040 --> 00:38:32.720
He does things that I can't do.

782
00:38:32.720 --> 00:38:35.200
We do things together that we can't do apart.

783
00:38:35.200 --> 00:38:36.680
These are the kinds of matches

784
00:38:36.680 --> 00:38:38.640
that you're looking for, all right?

785
00:38:38.640 --> 00:38:43.560
And so also as well, I would call Peter a sapiosexual,

786
00:38:43.560 --> 00:38:45.120
which means he's gonna need someone

787
00:38:45.120 --> 00:38:47.120
who can intellectually hang with him.

788
00:38:47.120 --> 00:38:49.600
Someone fun, you know, someone lighthearted,

789
00:38:49.600 --> 00:38:50.440
someone feminine,

790
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:53.000
but also someone who can hang with him, right?

791
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:54.960
He's very intelligent.

792
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:57.360
It's obviously well-read, well-traveled.

793
00:38:57.360 --> 00:38:59.840
And so someone who can hang with him

794
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:02.920
and have conversations that are stimulating.

795
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:06.320
So if you are also a sapiosexual, don't be ashamed of that.

796
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:08.440
That means you need intellectual connection, y'all.

797
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:10.960
That's not a new sexual orientation.

798
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:14.080
It means that you need intellectual connection, okay?

799
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:18.400
Ah, I saw this really funny live

800
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:20.800
where they were like having a prayer meeting live

801
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:21.640
and they were like,

802
00:39:21.640 --> 00:39:23.480
okay, we're gonna have some corporate prayer now.

803
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:26.040
And someone messaged in the chat and said,

804
00:39:26.040 --> 00:39:28.000
I can't have corporate prayer.

805
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:29.080
I don't own a business.

806
00:39:29.080 --> 00:39:31.840
And they're like, no, that's not what that word means.

807
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:34.720
Let's just all laugh together at that.

808
00:39:34.720 --> 00:39:39.440
Okay, so we're gonna spotlight Wes.

809
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:41.240
Hi, Wes.

810
00:39:42.200 --> 00:39:45.040
And we're having the Austin guys party tonight

811
00:39:45.040 --> 00:39:46.800
because Wes is also here in Austin.

812
00:39:47.680 --> 00:39:48.520
That's right.

813
00:39:48.520 --> 00:39:50.240
Austin, Texas, born and raised.

814
00:39:50.240 --> 00:39:53.040
Well, I should say I was raised out in the Hill Country.

815
00:39:54.120 --> 00:39:59.120
Yes, he said, fun fact, age 46, just turned 46.

816
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.040
And fun fact was last year I went to the Olympics in Paris.

817
00:40:04.040 --> 00:40:05.360
So that was awesome.

818
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:06.900
Wow.

819
00:40:06.900 --> 00:40:09.040
Yeah, that was crowded.

820
00:40:09.040 --> 00:40:10.520
Yeah.

821
00:40:10.520 --> 00:40:12.040
You know, it was.

822
00:40:12.040 --> 00:40:15.520
But it's funny because with all the Olympic events going on,

823
00:40:15.520 --> 00:40:17.960
if you wanted to sneak away and go to a museum or something,

824
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:19.280
they were pretty empty.

825
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:20.760
Oh, that's really cool.

826
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:22.480
Yeah, I did it a few times.

827
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.520
And if you were off the beaten path a little bit,

828
00:40:25.520 --> 00:40:28.280
you walked right into a restaurant with no reservations.

829
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:30.600
And so, yeah.

830
00:40:30.600 --> 00:40:33.400
But yeah.

831
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:36.120
I see your wine bottles and your fiddle fig right there.

832
00:40:36.120 --> 00:40:38.320
Your plant's doing pretty good.

833
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:41.000
Yeah, well, I've got two of these.

834
00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:43.200
So I had to split them last year because it was just

835
00:40:43.200 --> 00:40:44.400
getting out of control.

836
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:47.640
And I've got so many plants that they keep breeding.

837
00:40:47.640 --> 00:40:49.880
I keep giving them away, and they keep getting bigger.

838
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:51.880
So I guess that's the whole point.

839
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:56.240
But yeah, I've got an aloe plant that I've got probably

840
00:40:56.240 --> 00:41:00.400
12 aloe plants all over the state of Texas now.

841
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:01.480
Just giving them to people.

842
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:08.080
And so I'm not a father besides the aloe plants that I have.

843
00:41:08.080 --> 00:41:10.960
He has no children except for plant children.

844
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:13.080
He has plant children, ladies.

845
00:41:13.080 --> 00:41:15.640
OK, so did you tell them how old you are and where you live?

846
00:41:15.640 --> 00:41:16.720
I know you live in Austin.

847
00:41:16.720 --> 00:41:18.520
46, Austin.

848
00:41:18.520 --> 00:41:21.080
Yeah, Austin, Texas, born and raised.

849
00:41:21.080 --> 00:41:23.320
What do you do for a living?

850
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:26.120
So I work for an investment company.

851
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:29.960
I do sales, mutual fund sales, work on a sales desk.

852
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:32.520
So it's good.

853
00:41:32.520 --> 00:41:35.800
He works in finance, y'all, OK?

854
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:37.520
The meme, finance.

855
00:41:37.520 --> 00:41:39.560
OK, so he works in finance.

856
00:41:39.560 --> 00:41:40.480
All right.

857
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:42.600
Do you want children, Wes?

858
00:41:42.600 --> 00:41:44.320
Yes.

859
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:45.920
And by the way, I think all, I mean,

860
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:47.360
George already has children.

861
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:50.600
So he said he's open to someone who already has children.

862
00:41:50.600 --> 00:41:52.000
I know that Peter wants children.

863
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.080
Wes wants children.

864
00:41:53.120 --> 00:41:54.680
So I'm going to answer those questions

865
00:41:54.680 --> 00:41:56.360
since I know these guys.

866
00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:56.880
All right.

867
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.480
And then what do you think would make, OK, first of all,

868
00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:01.400
fun fact, and then we'll ask one more,

869
00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:03.400
we'll ask a couple more questions.

870
00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:05.560
The fun fact, I said Paris Olympics.

871
00:42:05.560 --> 00:42:06.520
Oh, that's right.

872
00:42:06.520 --> 00:42:07.760
Yeah.

873
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:09.120
Sorry, guys, I've been traveling all day.

874
00:42:09.120 --> 00:42:10.400
I'm a little off my game today.

875
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:15.800
OK, so what do you think that you need in a connection, OK?

876
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:17.600
You've been thinking about this for a while.

877
00:42:17.600 --> 00:42:19.000
What do you think that you need?

878
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:22.440
What is a non-negotiable from heaven for Wes?

879
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:25.360
What do you got to have in relationship?

880
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:27.680
I think part of it has to, I mean,

881
00:42:27.680 --> 00:42:32.160
has to be somebody that's pretty active because I'm always,

882
00:42:32.160 --> 00:42:37.080
normally I'm always moving and running around and doing,

883
00:42:37.080 --> 00:42:40.480
I did a high rocks competition, which fitness competition

884
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:41.240
last fall.

885
00:42:41.240 --> 00:42:44.120
So I like to do stuff like that.

886
00:42:44.120 --> 00:42:46.400
It doesn't have to be necessarily a crazy workout,

887
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:50.280
but I like to hit a lot of the trailheads in Austin

888
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:53.880
and go out to different coffee shops

889
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:55.520
that we got in different places around.

890
00:42:55.520 --> 00:42:57.520
There's lots of places to hang out here.

891
00:42:57.520 --> 00:43:00.320
It's a pretty great town for that.

892
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:01.000
It really is.

893
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:02.480
Do you have a dog?

894
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:03.280
I do not.

895
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:04.240
I do like dogs.

896
00:43:04.240 --> 00:43:06.960
I'm allergic to some of them, but the other half

897
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:08.680
I'm not allergic to.

898
00:43:08.680 --> 00:43:11.640
What kind of dogs are you allergic to?

899
00:43:11.640 --> 00:43:14.000
The ones that have all like furry,

900
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:15.760
the furry ones that shed.

901
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:18.120
So kind of like your golden doodles

902
00:43:18.120 --> 00:43:20.160
I'm good with because they don't shed.

903
00:43:20.160 --> 00:43:21.160
So like, yeah.

904
00:43:21.160 --> 00:43:23.480
So like more hyper allergenic kind of dogs.

905
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:24.280
That's right.

906
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:24.840
All right.

907
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:25.920
Are you allergic to cats?

908
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:26.720
We have a lot of allergies.

909
00:43:26.720 --> 00:43:27.320
Oh, yeah.

910
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:27.840
Yeah.

911
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:29.600
We have a lot of allergies here in Austin.

912
00:43:29.600 --> 00:43:31.240
So yeah.

913
00:43:31.240 --> 00:43:32.120
Yeah, it's true.

914
00:43:32.120 --> 00:43:32.920
All right, you guys.

915
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:33.440
You heard it.

916
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:34.360
He's allergic to cats.

917
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:36.840
So make sure that you write that down.

918
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:40.240
Someone wants to know if you dance.

919
00:43:40.240 --> 00:43:43.240
What kind of dance are we talking about here?

920
00:43:43.240 --> 00:43:44.720
They didn't say what kind of dance.

921
00:43:44.720 --> 00:43:46.040
Do you like any kind of dancing?

922
00:43:46.040 --> 00:43:48.120
I don't do like country dancing.

923
00:43:48.120 --> 00:43:50.320
I do like to do like club dancing.

924
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:51.960
But I live in Chicago.

925
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.080
I used to go to clubs anyway, a long time ago.

926
00:43:54.080 --> 00:43:55.080
But yeah.

927
00:43:55.080 --> 00:43:56.040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

928
00:43:56.040 --> 00:43:58.200
And you guys, I will tell you, Ida West,

929
00:43:58.200 --> 00:43:59.360
we live in the same city.

930
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:01.840
And he's really up for a lot of stuff.

931
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:02.800
He likes to go.

932
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:04.920
He's social.

933
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.600
He likes to gather with other people.

934
00:44:07.600 --> 00:44:10.240
I would say he's the kind of guy who's

935
00:44:10.240 --> 00:44:14.680
willing to meet new people, try new things, go new places.

936
00:44:14.680 --> 00:44:17.080
And so I think that that's important.

937
00:44:17.080 --> 00:44:19.640
Simone wants to know if you've ever been married.

938
00:44:19.640 --> 00:44:21.120
No.

939
00:44:21.120 --> 00:44:22.240
Never been married?

940
00:44:22.240 --> 00:44:22.840
You know what?

941
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.480
I think it's fun for us to tell them this.

942
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:27.160
West used to be a pastor.

943
00:44:27.160 --> 00:44:29.040
So he's in finance now.

944
00:44:29.040 --> 00:44:31.720
Retired pastor.

945
00:44:31.720 --> 00:44:33.960
Maybe just give a little soundbite about that.

946
00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:36.800
Because these women are like, oh, a pastor.

947
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:37.640
OK.

948
00:44:37.640 --> 00:44:42.040
Yeah, I went to seminary about, it's hard to believe now,

949
00:44:42.040 --> 00:44:43.840
but it's probably 18 years ago now.

950
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:48.840
And so yeah, I was a minister for about five years.

951
00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:51.360
I started a youth group in Chicago.

952
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.640
And then I also worked in Houston.

953
00:44:54.640 --> 00:44:56.800
So kind of polar opposites there, I realized.

954
00:44:56.800 --> 00:44:59.080
But I had a good, strong connection.

955
00:44:59.080 --> 00:45:01.200
So yeah, it was a.

956
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.720
Uh, it was a, it was a really good experience.

957
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:06.880
Um, I still, in some ways I still kind of consider myself a pastor, especially

958
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.680
when, you know, um, I still, I still get a lot of questions.

959
00:45:10.720 --> 00:45:13.560
I still get people always like ask me questions about things.

960
00:45:13.560 --> 00:45:18.040
And I don't know, it's, uh, it's a gift that doesn't go away.

961
00:45:18.040 --> 00:45:19.920
You're just using it in the marketplace, right?

962
00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:20.520
That's right.

963
00:45:20.560 --> 00:45:21.000
That's right.

964
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:22.840
So that's what he's doing.

965
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:24.960
He's using his pastoring gift in the marketplace.

966
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:27.760
He used to do it traditionally in the church, using it in the church.

967
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.200
And I was using it in the micro the marketplace.

968
00:45:30.640 --> 00:45:35.560
Um, someone wants to know if you are open to long distance.

969
00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:37.520
Uh, yes, yes.

970
00:45:37.560 --> 00:45:42.680
Um, but I would say is like, I'm pretty limited on capacity for, uh, for travel.

971
00:45:42.680 --> 00:45:46.600
I don't have like work from home or work from anywhere flexibility.

972
00:45:46.600 --> 00:45:51.080
So it gets a little bit complicated, but usually within the state

973
00:45:51.080 --> 00:45:52.360
of Texas, it's pretty good.

974
00:45:52.640 --> 00:45:53.440
So, yeah.

975
00:45:53.480 --> 00:45:53.680
Yeah.

976
00:45:53.680 --> 00:45:55.440
And you have been really good about that.

977
00:45:55.440 --> 00:45:59.800
So, um, as far as meeting up with people and reaching out and staying

978
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:01.200
connected, that's great.

979
00:46:01.640 --> 00:46:03.600
And I drive to Dallas a lot for work.

980
00:46:03.600 --> 00:46:05.640
So like, I'm, I'm in Dallas a lot.

981
00:46:05.640 --> 00:46:07.160
So my family's there too.

982
00:46:07.200 --> 00:46:08.520
So, okay.

983
00:46:08.520 --> 00:46:10.320
Ladies, his, his family's in Dallas.

984
00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:13.480
He has family in Dallas and he drives there a lot.

985
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:17.280
Um, he also has entertained connections in Houston.

986
00:46:17.720 --> 00:46:22.280
And so it's important that if you know anyone, and we all know a lot of girls

987
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:26.280
in Dallas, if you know anyone that you want to introduce to Wes or you want to

988
00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:30.320
be introduced to Wes, then not only do you put Wes Austin in the subject line

989
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:32.960
of your email, but you have to give us your bio and pics.

990
00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:34.320
So do not forget to do that.

991
00:46:34.600 --> 00:46:36.760
And Wes, you're going to see him on my IG.

992
00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:38.920
Cause we're going to do some more fun stuff there with him.

993
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:41.680
And then until then, Wes, thanks for joining us tonight.

994
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:42.280
Yeah.

995
00:46:42.600 --> 00:46:42.960
Yeah.

996
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:44.040
Thank you, Jackie.

997
00:46:44.520 --> 00:46:45.040
Thank you.

998
00:46:45.640 --> 00:46:46.200
All right.

999
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:46.640
All right.

1000
00:46:46.680 --> 00:46:49.720
Next up, we are going to go with.

1001
00:46:50.520 --> 00:46:59.800
Um, I have no idea how to spell this or if he's even here, Raphael, are you here?

1002
00:47:01.240 --> 00:47:02.000
Yes.

1003
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:02.960
All right.

1004
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:04.280
What's your zoom name?

1005
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:05.400
So I can find it here.

1006
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:06.040
Oh, I found it.

1007
00:47:06.040 --> 00:47:06.560
Duh.

1008
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:07.480
Raphael.

1009
00:47:08.040 --> 00:47:09.520
You're like, it's my name.

1010
00:47:09.560 --> 00:47:11.080
That's my pretty sure it's my name.

1011
00:47:11.080 --> 00:47:11.600
Yeah.

1012
00:47:12.120 --> 00:47:12.720
Hi.

1013
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:14.520
Hey, how are you?

1014
00:47:15.080 --> 00:47:15.800
I'm doing good.

1015
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:16.640
I'm doing really good.

1016
00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:17.640
All right.

1017
00:47:17.640 --> 00:47:20.600
So tell the ladies some things about yourself.

1018
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:21.880
Okay.

1019
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:26.480
Um, so I live in Northern California right now.

1020
00:47:26.560 --> 00:47:31.320
I was born in the Dominican Republic, grew up in South Jersey, came out

1021
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:34.080
writing, why I should do BSSM like 12 years ago.

1022
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:36.840
Uh, I was a youth pastor for six years.

1023
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:37.600
That was really cool.

1024
00:47:37.640 --> 00:47:43.040
So I know the retired ministry thing for ministry for like 50 years.

1025
00:47:43.040 --> 00:47:44.240
Now they're retired too.

1026
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:45.320
Yeah.

1027
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:49.120
Oh, your parents, your parents were like in ministry for like 50 years.

1028
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:49.880
Yeah.

1029
00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:55.040
My, my father was, my father started becoming like a senior pastor of a

1030
00:47:55.040 --> 00:48:00.080
church when he was like 19 and he's in his seventies now, so they were doing,

1031
00:48:00.200 --> 00:48:01.720
they were pastoring for like ever.

1032
00:48:02.680 --> 00:48:03.200
So funny.

1033
00:48:03.200 --> 00:48:06.200
You're like, I went out to BSSM 12 years ago for school.

1034
00:48:06.200 --> 00:48:07.080
I'm still there.

1035
00:48:07.080 --> 00:48:08.080
That's has happened.

1036
00:48:08.520 --> 00:48:10.000
They like, grab ahold of you.

1037
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:11.000
They don't let you go.

1038
00:48:11.280 --> 00:48:12.400
I'm like, I'm still there.

1039
00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:13.080
I'm still there.

1040
00:48:13.080 --> 00:48:13.720
I'm still there.

1041
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:15.000
They don't let you go.

1042
00:48:16.720 --> 00:48:18.800
Reading is a really good place to live, man.

1043
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:20.600
Everything is like five minutes away.

1044
00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:21.400
It's addictive.

1045
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:22.840
It's so true.

1046
00:48:23.120 --> 00:48:24.560
It's like a little town of Mayberry.

1047
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:26.520
Everything's just right there.

1048
00:48:26.520 --> 00:48:28.640
But if you can live anywhere, you'd like to live in Florida.

1049
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:29.840
Yeah.

1050
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:31.000
We're Orlando.

1051
00:48:31.720 --> 00:48:32.240
Yeah.

1052
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:37.560
Specifically Orlando, but you do not just come a single solo.

1053
00:48:37.560 --> 00:48:40.880
You come, um, as a family set, like my husband.

1054
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:43.320
So tell them, tell them about your child.

1055
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:47.440
So I, I have a three, three and a half year old son.

1056
00:48:47.520 --> 00:48:48.600
His name is Asher.

1057
00:48:48.720 --> 00:48:52.160
He is, he's freaking perfect.

1058
00:48:52.160 --> 00:48:52.600
I don't know.

1059
00:48:52.640 --> 00:48:53.600
I don't know how to explain it.

1060
00:48:53.600 --> 00:48:59.840
He's just happy all the time and he's huge and he's all smiles and he's the best.

1061
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:01.080
He is the best.

1062
00:49:01.240 --> 00:49:04.160
And you also have a really cool, like transformation story.

1063
00:49:04.160 --> 00:49:08.040
I think that, you know, I think that having someone in your life, who's

1064
00:49:08.040 --> 00:49:11.200
really committed to health and wellness is going to be a non-negotiable for you.

1065
00:49:12.120 --> 00:49:12.760
Yeah.

1066
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:16.000
I, so I used to weigh over 300 pounds.

1067
00:49:16.040 --> 00:49:24.960
I used to be 316 pounds and then I lost like 125 pounds and then COVID happened.

1068
00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:26.200
It happened.

1069
00:49:26.240 --> 00:49:29.760
So I kind of changed the way I was working out.

1070
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:34.720
So I put a little bit of weight on, but like gym time is, is big time.

1071
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:35.600
Gym time is important.

1072
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:36.360
Yeah.

1073
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:37.080
And you look great.

1074
00:49:37.120 --> 00:49:39.360
And I'm so proud of what you've accomplished.

1075
00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:40.320
That's so amazing.

1076
00:49:40.600 --> 00:49:44.240
And there's so many people out here that are trying to do that very thing.

1077
00:49:44.600 --> 00:49:47.840
And so get their, get their bodies together, their minds,

1078
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:49.160
their spirits, their bodies.

1079
00:49:49.200 --> 00:49:53.200
And so you guys, if you think that you're going to be an introduction

1080
00:49:53.200 --> 00:49:56.520
for Raphael, you're going to have to be someone who wants to better

1081
00:49:56.520 --> 00:50:00.040
yourself, wants to continue to grow spiritually, mentally.

1082
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:01.600
emotionally and physically.

1083
00:50:01.600 --> 00:50:03.600
All right, tell us a fun fact.

1084
00:50:03.600 --> 00:50:05.120
Ooh, fun fact.

1085
00:50:05.120 --> 00:50:09.760
I, so when I was doing second year,

1086
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:13.520
I did like the ministry trip to China.

1087
00:50:13.520 --> 00:50:16.000
And that was a big, that was a big culture shock

1088
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:20.240
because China is not designed for 300 pound men.

1089
00:50:20.240 --> 00:50:21.520
It's not.

1090
00:50:21.520 --> 00:50:22.960
And like everywhere I went,

1091
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:24.240
everybody was staring at me.

1092
00:50:24.240 --> 00:50:28.720
They were like, it was cool, but it was, it was a lot.

1093
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:30.880
But I've been to China, I've been to Tibet,

1094
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:32.880
I've been to Honduras, obviously Dominican Republic,

1095
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:33.680
been to Canada.

1096
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:38.560
So yeah, so that's, that was really fun.

1097
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:41.760
So true story, David and I have a ministry friend

1098
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:45.840
who also went to China to teach English

1099
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:47.120
as a second language.

1100
00:50:47.120 --> 00:50:49.760
He's really there to do work with the underground church,

1101
00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:52.080
but teach English as a second language.

1102
00:50:52.080 --> 00:50:56.000
And he, I think he probably weighed over 300 pounds

1103
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:57.760
and you guys, people used to stop him on the street

1104
00:50:57.760 --> 00:50:58.880
to take pictures with him.

1105
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:01.040
He became a celebrity in China

1106
00:51:01.040 --> 00:51:03.040
and they actually gave him his own talk show

1107
00:51:03.040 --> 00:51:04.640
just because he was a large man.

1108
00:51:05.680 --> 00:51:08.800
So this is something that really happened to our friend

1109
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:10.800
and continues to happen to him to this day.

1110
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:12.880
I mean, that is what his life looks like now.

1111
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:14.240
And so I think that that's,

1112
00:51:14.240 --> 00:51:15.840
so I understand exactly what you're saying

1113
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:16.560
when you say that,

1114
00:51:16.560 --> 00:51:19.520
cause I know people that have experienced that.

1115
00:51:19.520 --> 00:51:21.840
All right, so someone wants to know,

1116
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:26.240
can you date long distance until there's a connection?

1117
00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:28.160
When do you think that you might move to Florida?

1118
00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:32.400
Sure, so to a certain degree, yes,

1119
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:36.240
because I actually do have quite a bit of time equity

1120
00:51:36.240 --> 00:51:37.760
kind of during the daytime hours.

1121
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:45.280
It's hard for me to build connection electronically

1122
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:49.840
just because I'm much more of a, like I'm Latino.

1123
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:51.600
So for me, I'm very physical touch.

1124
00:51:51.600 --> 00:51:52.720
I'm very interactive.

1125
00:51:52.720 --> 00:51:53.680
I'm affectionate.

1126
00:51:53.680 --> 00:51:55.600
I'm like engaged.

1127
00:51:55.600 --> 00:51:57.680
Like it's a little bit tough to do that

1128
00:51:57.680 --> 00:51:59.840
where I can't smell your breath.

1129
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:00.800
I can't, you know what I mean?

1130
00:52:01.680 --> 00:52:02.800
No, it's hard.

1131
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:03.840
It's hard for everybody.

1132
00:52:05.520 --> 00:52:09.680
That being said, I do feel like for the right person,

1133
00:52:09.680 --> 00:52:12.400
if we're talking, you know, lifelong connection,

1134
00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:15.120
man, whatever you gotta do to find a person

1135
00:52:15.120 --> 00:52:17.680
that got high for you, yo, pay the price, make it happen.

1136
00:52:17.680 --> 00:52:20.160
But that would be tough.

1137
00:52:20.160 --> 00:52:20.880
That'd be really tough.

1138
00:52:21.760 --> 00:52:23.120
Yeah, it is tough.

1139
00:52:23.120 --> 00:52:25.840
But you guys, if God's in it, then, you know,

1140
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:29.120
you can be in it as well, in it to win it for sure.

1141
00:52:29.120 --> 00:52:30.560
But you don't know until you know.

1142
00:52:30.560 --> 00:52:32.240
He said he's open to it.

1143
00:52:32.240 --> 00:52:33.200
It's not his preference.

1144
00:52:33.200 --> 00:52:35.280
It's nobody's preference, but he's open to it.

1145
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:36.320
All right.

1146
00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:38.960
So right now he's in Redding, California,

1147
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:42.240
and he also would like to in the future move to Orlando.

1148
00:52:42.240 --> 00:52:43.920
For those of you that are asking about custody,

1149
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:45.120
he has shared parenting

1150
00:52:45.120 --> 00:52:46.800
and he has an amicable relationship

1151
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:48.400
with his son's mother.

1152
00:52:49.520 --> 00:52:51.840
So that is a healthy relationship.

1153
00:52:51.840 --> 00:52:52.720
And so that's good.

1154
00:52:55.040 --> 00:52:56.960
Someone's saying all kinds of funny things here.

1155
00:52:56.960 --> 00:52:57.200
Okay.

1156
00:52:57.200 --> 00:52:58.160
Do you want more kids?

1157
00:52:58.880 --> 00:52:59.280
Yes.

1158
00:53:00.240 --> 00:53:03.200
I, if I could have at least one more,

1159
00:53:03.200 --> 00:53:04.240
that'll be really cool.

1160
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:12.720
I'm not against 12 more, but like one more would be,

1161
00:53:12.720 --> 00:53:14.880
I feel like I'd be really happy with that.

1162
00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:16.560
And can you remind the ladies how old you are?

1163
00:53:16.560 --> 00:53:17.600
Because people are asking again.

1164
00:53:18.240 --> 00:53:19.200
I'm 37.

1165
00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:20.640
37.

1166
00:53:20.640 --> 00:53:23.520
Just turned 37, February 11th.

1167
00:53:23.520 --> 00:53:24.480
Just turned 37.

1168
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:25.920
Now, sometimes shared parenting,

1169
00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:27.760
custody arrangements can get complicated,

1170
00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:28.880
but would you be open to someone

1171
00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:30.160
who has children already as well?

1172
00:53:31.680 --> 00:53:33.440
Yeah, I would be open to that.

1173
00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:34.720
I feel like fair is fair.

1174
00:53:34.720 --> 00:53:35.520
Like I have one.

1175
00:53:35.520 --> 00:53:36.240
You could have one.

1176
00:53:36.240 --> 00:53:37.040
They could be best friends.

1177
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:38.720
They could be best friends.

1178
00:53:38.720 --> 00:53:39.920
They could be best friends.

1179
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:41.120
All right, you guys.

1180
00:53:41.120 --> 00:53:42.880
All right, you guys, this is Rafael.

1181
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.200
He also is going to be with me on IG soon,

1182
00:53:45.200 --> 00:53:47.040
and I'm going to be spotlighting him more.

1183
00:53:47.040 --> 00:53:48.720
Remember you're on Jackie's list.

1184
00:53:48.720 --> 00:53:49.920
So don't have FOMO like,

1185
00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:51.680
oh no, the public's going to get him.

1186
00:53:51.680 --> 00:53:53.840
No, but if you know someone who should get him,

1187
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:55.680
someone who should know him, meet him,

1188
00:53:55.680 --> 00:53:58.960
if it's you, go ahead and send us a email

1189
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:00.880
with Rafael in the subject line

1190
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:02.960
and your pictures, your bio,

1191
00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:05.360
and also your friend's pictures and bio

1192
00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:06.240
if it's your friend.

1193
00:54:06.240 --> 00:54:08.160
All right, Rafael, thanks for joining us.

1194
00:54:08.160 --> 00:54:09.200
I appreciate you.

1195
00:54:09.200 --> 00:54:09.920
Yeah, absolutely.

1196
00:54:10.720 --> 00:54:12.960
All right, next up, ladies.

1197
00:54:12.960 --> 00:54:14.240
I told you I'm going to bring the heat.

1198
00:54:14.240 --> 00:54:15.760
I told you I'm going to bring the guys.

1199
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:17.520
And we are all these, for all of you,

1200
00:54:17.520 --> 00:54:19.120
they're like, there's no single man out there.

1201
00:54:19.120 --> 00:54:20.320
There's no marriage-minded men.

1202
00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:21.360
Hello?

1203
00:54:22.080 --> 00:54:23.120
Yes, there is.

1204
00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:24.880
Yes, there is.

1205
00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:26.720
All right, David.

1206
00:54:27.680 --> 00:54:28.240
Spotlight.

1207
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:30.720
All right, David.

1208
00:54:30.720 --> 00:54:32.480
This is one of our last year single guys.

1209
00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:34.400
You should recognize him from prayer,

1210
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:37.680
from all community like tonight.

1211
00:54:37.680 --> 00:54:40.560
So David, go ahead and give us your bio information

1212
00:54:40.560 --> 00:54:41.360
and a fun fact.

1213
00:54:42.640 --> 00:54:46.640
A U.S. Army veteran, Las Vegas, Nevada.

1214
00:54:47.600 --> 00:54:48.800
Single, never been married.

1215
00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:53.440
Want children, trying to think of a fun fact.

1216
00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:54.800
Oh, 40 years old.

1217
00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:56.320
40 years old.

1218
00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:58.400
And you live in Vegas, but you're about to move.

1219
00:54:58.960 --> 00:54:59.920
Yes, I'm about to move.

1220
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.560
Moved to Iowa to attend chiropractic school.

1221
00:55:03.560 --> 00:55:05.640
OK, what city in Iowa?

1222
00:55:05.640 --> 00:55:06.680
Davenport, Iowa.

1223
00:55:06.680 --> 00:55:10.920
It's Quad Cities, but they're all relatively close together.

1224
00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:12.800
Going to school to be a chiropractor,

1225
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:15.440
so free adjustments for life, OK.

1226
00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:17.520
Oh, yeah, for everyone.

1227
00:55:17.520 --> 00:55:20.160
For everyone in the community, that's good.

1228
00:55:20.160 --> 00:55:21.680
OK, so yeah, what's a fun fact?

1229
00:55:21.680 --> 00:55:25.120
I mean, first of all, thank you for your service.

1230
00:55:25.120 --> 00:55:26.680
Thank you for your support.

1231
00:55:26.680 --> 00:55:27.320
I'm all closed.

1232
00:55:27.320 --> 00:55:29.000
Were you taking classes anywhere overseas?

1233
00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:31.760
I was overseas for a bit, came back stateside,

1234
00:55:31.760 --> 00:55:34.400
worked as a federal investigator,

1235
00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:39.720
mostly spent time as an MP, and then

1236
00:55:39.720 --> 00:55:42.000
got medically retired out.

1237
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:44.560
All right, OK, so yeah, in chiropractic.

1238
00:55:44.560 --> 00:55:47.160
And that's probably some of your love for chiropracting,

1239
00:55:47.160 --> 00:55:49.800
because sounds like you had an injury of some sort.

1240
00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:50.760
Absolutely.

1241
00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:54.160
Yeah, OK, and you've rehabilitated yourself?

1242
00:55:54.160 --> 00:55:58.840
Yeah, I wasn't 316, but I used to be 250 pounds,

1243
00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:03.080
dropped 100 pounds, and then spent the last two years

1244
00:56:03.080 --> 00:56:07.280
bulking and cutting, and now I'm in a good place.

1245
00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:13.200
Lovely, and so it's safe to say that a complimentary match

1246
00:56:13.200 --> 00:56:14.920
to you or a non-negotiable for you

1247
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:17.080
would also be someone who really wants

1248
00:56:17.080 --> 00:56:20.200
to live a healthy lifestyle and does live a healthy lifestyle.

1249
00:56:20.200 --> 00:56:22.200
Absolutely, someone that takes care of the temple

1250
00:56:22.200 --> 00:56:24.000
that houses the Holy Spirit.

1251
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:25.360
All right, cool.

1252
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:28.400
All right, do you have a fun fact?

1253
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:30.800
You up for two truths and a lie?

1254
00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:32.640
Sure, yeah.

1255
00:56:32.640 --> 00:56:35.760
Let's see, I have an ugly Christmas sweater

1256
00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:38.960
for every single day in December.

1257
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:44.480
I have climbed the easy side and the hard side

1258
00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:46.880
of the Great Wall of China, and I

1259
00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:50.480
have shown up to teach a kindergarten class on National

1260
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:54.480
T-Rex Day wearing an 8-foot tall inflatable T-Rex costume.

1261
00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:57.720
Oh my gosh, you guys, which one do you think is the lie?

1262
00:56:57.720 --> 00:56:59.200
Men, you're not allowed to answer.

1263
00:56:59.200 --> 00:56:59.720
Put it out.

1264
00:56:59.720 --> 00:57:00.440
You already know.

1265
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:02.320
Guys, don't answer.

1266
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:03.520
Put it out.

1267
00:57:03.520 --> 00:57:04.240
Put it out.

1268
00:57:04.240 --> 00:57:06.120
Men within the heart work group are not allowed to answer.

1269
00:57:06.120 --> 00:57:07.880
They already know probably which one's.

1270
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:10.680
A lot of people think, some people think it's the sweater,

1271
00:57:10.680 --> 00:57:12.200
and some people think it's the wall.

1272
00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:18.360
And then just a couple, a handful of people

1273
00:57:18.360 --> 00:57:20.600
think it's the, no, the wall.

1274
00:57:20.600 --> 00:57:22.040
A lot of people think it's the wall.

1275
00:57:22.040 --> 00:57:23.720
What is it?

1276
00:57:23.720 --> 00:57:26.680
It's the T-Rex, because there is no National T-Rex Day.

1277
00:57:26.680 --> 00:57:28.600
There's a National Dinosaur Day that does not

1278
00:57:28.600 --> 00:57:30.120
fall during the school year.

1279
00:57:30.120 --> 00:57:33.680
I showed up as a teddy bear on National Teddy Bear Day.

1280
00:57:33.680 --> 00:57:36.560
Oh my gosh, you've been thinking about this.

1281
00:57:36.560 --> 00:57:37.080
OK.

1282
00:57:37.080 --> 00:57:38.440
Oh yeah, just a little planning.

1283
00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:42.960
Is the true story just different costume and different day?

1284
00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:43.920
Wow, OK.

1285
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:48.760
Wait, you have, wait, you have 30 ugly sweaters?

1286
00:57:48.760 --> 00:57:49.880
31.

1287
00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:51.880
31 ugly sweaters?

1288
00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:52.800
Absolutely.

1289
00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:54.920
You guys, he has 31 ugly Christmas sweaters.

1290
00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:55.680
OK, can we answer?

1291
00:57:55.680 --> 00:57:58.480
I used to use them when I was a school teacher.

1292
00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:00.400
Oh, that's why.

1293
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:02.320
OK, what grade did you teach?

1294
00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:04.280
So the first year I taught primary star,

1295
00:58:04.280 --> 00:58:07.320
it was kindergarten, first grade, second grade

1296
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:08.680
for special education.

1297
00:58:08.680 --> 00:58:10.640
And then this past year, I taught kindergarten

1298
00:58:10.640 --> 00:58:12.440
for about two months.

1299
00:58:12.440 --> 00:58:14.560
Oh my gosh.

1300
00:58:14.560 --> 00:58:17.680
I know someone that you should meet.

1301
00:58:17.680 --> 00:58:19.280
I didn't know this about you.

1302
00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:20.080
Oh, sorry.

1303
00:58:20.080 --> 00:58:21.120
OK.

1304
00:58:21.120 --> 00:58:23.320
I'm sure David was spilling the beans on me.

1305
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:24.960
No, he wasn't.

1306
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:28.880
This is important information because I know someone

1307
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:30.320
that you might really click with.

1308
00:58:30.320 --> 00:58:33.400
OK, so ladies, you better snatch him up

1309
00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:35.200
while you can before I get my hands on him

1310
00:58:35.200 --> 00:58:38.920
because I know someone that he should meet that checks

1311
00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:42.200
all of his boxes, including a lot of synergy in the things

1312
00:58:42.200 --> 00:58:43.040
that he just told us.

1313
00:58:43.040 --> 00:58:45.240
OK, so fun, you guys.

1314
00:58:45.240 --> 00:58:47.520
This buff dude that used to serve in the military

1315
00:58:47.520 --> 00:58:49.040
has a soft spot for children.

1316
00:58:49.040 --> 00:58:50.000
It's kindergarten.

1317
00:58:50.000 --> 00:58:51.040
Come on.

1318
00:58:51.040 --> 00:58:52.800
First grade, this crazy stuff.

1319
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:54.400
OK, love that.

1320
00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:57.720
What people want to know, are you open to long distance?

1321
00:58:57.720 --> 00:59:00.080
You're going to be in Iowa.

1322
00:59:00.080 --> 00:59:01.680
Pretty much going to be long distance.

1323
00:59:01.680 --> 00:59:05.000
I was told the first few months, don't try to go anywhere

1324
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:07.120
when I was in school.

1325
00:59:07.120 --> 00:59:09.760
So yeah, it's going to be long distance for a few months.

1326
00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:11.880
And how long does the school last?

1327
00:59:11.880 --> 00:59:13.400
How long?

1328
00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:15.760
School lasts three and a half years.

1329
00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:18.560
The first two years is actually in school at Davenport.

1330
00:59:18.560 --> 00:59:20.760
And then the last year and a half

1331
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:25.160
is doing shadow work behind an actual chiropractor.

1332
00:59:25.160 --> 00:59:29.880
So depending on where I can find an internship,

1333
00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:31.600
I go to a place around the country

1334
00:59:31.600 --> 00:59:35.120
and just stay there for the last year and a half,

1335
00:59:35.120 --> 00:59:37.880
from what I understand from how the school works.

1336
00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:38.880
OK, cool.

1337
00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:41.560
And wow, yeah, that's.

1338
00:59:41.560 --> 00:59:43.960
Ideally, I would love to move back to the Southwest

1339
00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:46.600
because, well, you know, it's warm.

1340
00:59:46.600 --> 00:59:47.480
Yeah, yeah.

1341
00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:48.480
I grew up in the Midwest.

1342
00:59:48.480 --> 00:59:50.000
I don't want to stay there.

1343
00:59:50.720 --> 00:59:51.960
I'm willing to suffer.

1344
00:59:51.960 --> 00:59:53.240
Where'd you grow up again?

1345
00:59:53.240 --> 00:59:56.040
I grew up in Skokie, Illinois on the north side of Chicago.

1346
00:59:56.040 --> 00:59:59.160
Lived in Peoria, Illinois for 10 years.

1347
00:59:59.160 --> 01:00:00.720
And yeah.

1348
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.000
Yeah, joined the army, moved out.

1349
01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:05.080
Three guys tonight with Chicago ties.

1350
01:00:05.080 --> 01:00:07.120
Okay, Illinois, yes.

1351
01:00:07.120 --> 01:00:07.960
I hear what you're saying.

1352
01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:10.040
Southwest from Midwest, for sure.

1353
01:00:10.040 --> 01:00:11.760
No winter, it's all good.

1354
01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:13.360
Do you want kids?

1355
01:00:13.360 --> 01:00:14.680
Absolutely.

1356
01:00:14.680 --> 01:00:15.520
Absolutely.

1357
01:00:15.520 --> 01:00:18.420
Like Raphael said, well, I won't give a number,

1358
01:00:18.420 --> 01:00:20.760
but I'll say however many God decides

1359
01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:22.560
to bless my family with.

1360
01:00:22.560 --> 01:00:24.760
Okay, and then also, are you open

1361
01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:26.560
to someone who already has children?

1362
01:00:27.560 --> 01:00:32.560
So yes, the only caveat is that I have

1363
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:35.760
perception issues with boundaries,

1364
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:39.840
so it would just require grace on someone else's end

1365
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:41.680
and just patience with me.

1366
01:00:41.680 --> 01:00:43.960
Okay, awesome, good to know.

1367
01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:45.960
I'm the type of guy that will totally play tag

1368
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:49.520
in a department store with some random kid.

1369
01:00:50.720 --> 01:00:55.200

No, you can be a Sox fan, you're good.

1376
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:05.280
No, it's all good.

1377
01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:06.880
You guys, this is a fashion statement.

1378
01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:07.840
I'm not a Yankees fan.

1379
01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:09.720
I've never been to a baseball game ever,

1380
01:01:09.720 --> 01:01:10.560
a pro baseball game.

1381
01:01:10.560 --> 01:01:12.000
Well, I've been to an Indians game.

1382
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:13.400
I've Guardians, whatever they're called.

1383
01:01:13.400 --> 01:01:16.400
Okay, all right, so thank you so much, David.

1384
01:01:16.400 --> 01:01:18.400
David is in our community.

1385
01:01:18.400 --> 01:01:22.040
He also will be spotlighted more on IG as well.

1386
01:01:22.040 --> 01:01:23.820
I want to get to the rest of these guys

1387
01:01:23.820 --> 01:01:25.260
because I know they've been waiting

1388
01:01:25.260 --> 01:01:26.940
and I promised you guys

1389
01:01:26.940 --> 01:01:29.420
that we were not going to be here all night tonight.

1390
01:01:29.420 --> 01:01:30.700
And so let's do it

1391
01:01:30.700 --> 01:01:32.940
because we could just get talking and talking.

1392
01:01:32.940 --> 01:01:35.900
All right, Rene, hello.

1393
01:01:35.900 --> 01:01:37.540
Introduce yourself to the ladies.

1394
01:01:38.700 --> 01:01:40.660
Hello, y'all, how's it going?

1395
01:01:40.660 --> 01:01:42.900
Another Austin guy for you tonight.

1396
01:01:43.900 --> 01:01:45.420
Tell us a little bit about yourself.

1397
01:01:45.420 --> 01:01:46.380
Where are you from?

1398
01:01:46.380 --> 01:01:47.380
How old are you?

1399
01:01:47.380 --> 01:01:49.900
Where are you up to in life right now?

1400
01:01:50.700 --> 01:01:54.540
So I am here in Austin, 52 years old.

1401
01:01:54.540 --> 01:01:57.420
Definitely looking to see about starting a family.

1402
01:01:57.420 --> 01:01:58.660
I'm like in medical sales,

1403
01:01:58.660 --> 01:02:00.660
but also have like rental properties,

1404
01:02:00.660 --> 01:02:03.420
got the transition going into private equity.

1405
01:02:03.420 --> 01:02:05.620
So with that, it gives me like the opportunity

1406
01:02:05.620 --> 01:02:08.820
to be able to eventually be able to have like

1407
01:02:08.820 --> 01:02:10.700
that flexibility to be able to work remotely

1408
01:02:10.700 --> 01:02:12.540
by others like running business stuff.

1409
01:02:12.540 --> 01:02:14.940
So that's in the transition happening right now.

1410
01:02:15.900 --> 01:02:17.340
I guess like with travel,

1411
01:02:17.340 --> 01:02:19.540
I definitely like international travel, domestic.

1412
01:02:20.180 --> 01:02:20.980
I grew up by the beach in South Texas,

1413
01:02:20.980 --> 01:02:23.780
so South Padre Island, which is the best Texas beach.

1414
01:02:25.780 --> 01:02:27.900
So yeah, I always like grew up around water.

1415
01:02:27.900 --> 01:02:30.580
So like being out here in the lakes in Austin,

1416
01:02:30.580 --> 01:02:31.940
just definitely like being outdoors

1417
01:02:31.940 --> 01:02:34.620
and just trying different restaurants,

1418
01:02:34.620 --> 01:02:38.780
being spoiled in South Texas where I'm from originally

1419
01:02:38.780 --> 01:02:40.300
with like authentic Mexican food.

1420
01:02:40.300 --> 01:02:42.020
But I mean, there's definitely good places out here,

1421
01:02:42.020 --> 01:02:45.020
but been around like a lot of different places in Texas.

1422
01:02:45.020 --> 01:02:48.580
I've visited with friends in like Dallas, Houston area,

1423
01:02:48.580 --> 01:02:50.140
but also have former roommates,

1424
01:02:50.140 --> 01:02:51.780
which were recently, since we were talking about Florida,

1425
01:02:51.780 --> 01:02:54.820
I was actually out there quite a bit last year,

1426
01:02:54.820 --> 01:02:56.740
like at the beaches since I,

1427
01:02:56.740 --> 01:02:59.220
with my, I guess the current job that I'm at,

1428
01:02:59.220 --> 01:03:01.460
the corporate is out there in Southern Florida.

1429
01:03:01.460 --> 01:03:02.700
So I was able to go there a few times

1430
01:03:02.700 --> 01:03:04.780
to go and visit friends at the same time.

1431
01:03:04.780 --> 01:03:09.780
So I'm not sure of anything else to say right now.

1432
01:03:10.460 --> 01:03:12.740
So you guys, if you didn't catch it right now,

1433
01:03:12.740 --> 01:03:14.780
he is working at a couple different things.

1434
01:03:14.780 --> 01:03:16.460
He also is an entrepreneur.

1435
01:03:16.460 --> 01:03:17.900
He has rental properties.

1436
01:03:17.900 --> 01:03:19.580
So he's in real estate.

1437
01:03:19.580 --> 01:03:22.020
He's working towards being completely remote,

1438
01:03:22.020 --> 01:03:24.540
being able to just own his own business

1439
01:03:24.540 --> 01:03:26.220
and do his own thing.

1440
01:03:26.220 --> 01:03:27.580
But I know him in person.

1441
01:03:27.580 --> 01:03:29.660
Stacey's vouching for him in the comments.

1442
01:03:29.660 --> 01:03:30.500
You know, we-

1443
01:03:30.500 --> 01:03:31.340

We're in community together and he is an awesome guy.

1446
01:03:36.460 --> 01:03:39.180
Loves the Lord, is tall ladies.

1447
01:03:39.180 --> 01:03:42.900
This is a tall one right here and never been married, right?

1448
01:03:42.900 --> 01:03:44.020
Have you ever been married?

1449
01:03:44.020 --> 01:03:44.860
No, I haven't been yet.

1450
01:03:45.260 --> 01:03:48.260
52 years old, but wants to be married, marriage-minded,

1451
01:03:48.260 --> 01:03:51.300
ladies, and really wants to have a family.

1452
01:03:51.300 --> 01:03:52.140
Wants a family.

1453
01:03:52.140 --> 01:03:54.940
Are you open to someone who already has kids?

1454
01:03:54.940 --> 01:03:56.500
Yes, I'm definitely open.

1455
01:03:56.500 --> 01:03:57.340
Yeah.

1456
01:03:57.340 --> 01:03:59.260
All right, what about long distance?

1457
01:03:59.260 --> 01:04:00.740
Yeah.

1458
01:04:00.740 --> 01:04:03.500
Definitely like with travel, I'm definitely open to that.

1459
01:04:03.500 --> 01:04:04.380
Yeah.

1460
01:04:04.380 --> 01:04:05.220
He travels, you know,

1461
01:04:05.220 --> 01:04:07.100
he's been traveling around a little bit

1462
01:04:07.100 --> 01:04:08.580
and so he is open.

1463
01:04:08.580 --> 01:04:09.620
He's open to that.

1464
01:04:09.620 --> 01:04:12.100
Give us something that, you know,

1465
01:04:12.140 --> 01:04:16.060
tell us about what you think you need in a connection

1466
01:04:16.060 --> 01:04:18.660
based on, you know, you've been, you know,

1467
01:04:18.660 --> 01:04:21.500
you have been around last year single for a minute.

1468
01:04:21.500 --> 01:04:24.860
I know you've been thinking about it and, you know,

1469
01:04:24.860 --> 01:04:26.300
meeting people and stuff.

1470
01:04:26.300 --> 01:04:28.860
And so when we meet people, ladies, gentlemen,

1471
01:04:28.860 --> 01:04:30.900
this is why it's important for you to go

1472
01:04:30.900 --> 01:04:32.140
on those low stakes dates,

1473
01:04:32.140 --> 01:04:33.740
because the more you get to know other people,

1474
01:04:33.740 --> 01:04:35.340
the more you're going to get to know yourself

1475
01:04:35.340 --> 01:04:37.140
and the more you're going to really start to figure out

1476
01:04:37.140 --> 01:04:40.060
what you need in a long-term connection.

1477
01:04:40.060 --> 01:04:42.020
And so what have you figured out that you need

1478
01:04:42.900 --> 01:04:44.460
in a long-term connection?

1479
01:04:44.460 --> 01:04:47.660
Well, like with, not only like with chemistry compatibility,

1480
01:04:47.660 --> 01:04:49.580
to something like with,

1481
01:04:49.580 --> 01:04:52.020
to a point like with being like healthy, active,

1482
01:04:52.020 --> 01:04:53.140
I'm definitely like that.

1483
01:04:53.140 --> 01:04:54.180
I always feel like that from playing

1484
01:04:54.180 --> 01:04:55.780
a lot of different sports.

1485
01:04:55.780 --> 01:04:56.620
Yeah.

1486
01:04:56.620 --> 01:04:57.500
But for like longevity,

1487
01:04:57.500 --> 01:04:59.500
just something to be able to have that similarity

1488
01:04:59.500 --> 01:05:00.500
to be able to enjoy.

1489
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:02.700
joy each other's time and company.

1490
01:05:02.700 --> 01:05:03.540
Yeah.

1491
01:05:03.540 --> 01:05:05.740
So someone who's committed to health.

1492
01:05:05.740 --> 01:05:06.580
What's that?

1493
01:05:06.580 --> 01:05:08.380
Someone who's committed to health.

1494
01:05:08.380 --> 01:05:09.280
Yeah.

1495
01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:12.180
What kind of personality type do you think you click with?

1496
01:05:13.060 --> 01:05:15.220
It's like a combination, like whether like,

1497
01:05:15.220 --> 01:05:16.820
I don't know if you want to say like the Myers-Briggs,

1498
01:05:16.820 --> 01:05:18.700
like, I mean, a combination of let's say

1499
01:05:18.700 --> 01:05:22.460
of introvert, extrovert, definitely.

1500
01:05:22.460 --> 01:05:24.620
It's like sometimes very low key in that sense

1501
01:05:24.620 --> 01:05:25.780
and in certain aspects,

1502
01:05:25.780 --> 01:05:28.820
but then when it's like more business or work stuff,

1503
01:05:28.820 --> 01:05:30.680
they'll definitely like kick in a little bit more

1504
01:05:30.680 --> 01:05:32.040
of that extrovert.

1505
01:05:32.040 --> 01:05:32.880
Yeah, yeah.

1506
01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:33.700
It's a combination.

1507
01:05:33.700 --> 01:05:35.320
So, I mean, if it's something where just having that,

1508
01:05:35.320 --> 01:05:37.300
that, I don't know if you want to say like sassiness

1509
01:05:37.300 --> 01:05:40.720
or whatnot, or just like, just having that good balance

1510
01:05:40.720 --> 01:05:42.720
of having fun at the same time,

1511
01:05:42.720 --> 01:05:43.920
you know how to have that good time.

1512
01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:46.080
Hey, there's like things to talk about as well.

1513
01:05:46.080 --> 01:05:47.560
It's just having that, I don't know,

1514
01:05:47.560 --> 01:05:50.920
it's just that natural thing to be able to know how to,

1515
01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:53.160
I guess, be able to gel with each other

1516
01:05:53.160 --> 01:05:56.080
and just having that, I guess, commonalities.

1517
01:05:56.080 --> 01:05:58.120
Okay, because I know him, you guys, I'm going to tell you,

1518
01:05:58.120 --> 01:05:59.260
he is very friendly.

1519
01:05:59.260 --> 01:06:01.020
Like he said, he's kind of an ambivert.

1520
01:06:01.020 --> 01:06:02.220
He's an introverted extra.

1521
01:06:02.220 --> 01:06:03.980
He's an extroverted introvert.

1522
01:06:03.980 --> 01:06:05.980
So when he's around people, really friendly,

1523
01:06:05.980 --> 01:06:07.740
all the things, but he's gonna,

1524
01:06:07.740 --> 01:06:11.740
a woman who is fun, a little sassy,

1525
01:06:11.740 --> 01:06:13.480
she's going to bring him out of his, you know,

1526
01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:17.460
bring him out into that fun side of him real quick, right?

1527
01:06:17.460 --> 01:06:18.740
That's what's going to happen.

1528
01:06:18.740 --> 01:06:19.740
He likes to laugh.

1529
01:06:19.740 --> 01:06:21.580
He likes to smile, as you can see.

1530
01:06:21.580 --> 01:06:23.940
Guys, he throws parties at his house for singles.

1531
01:06:23.940 --> 01:06:26.060
He cares about singles in the community.

1532
01:06:26.060 --> 01:06:27.260
He does.

1533
01:06:27.260 --> 01:06:30.440
We have, you know, collaborated with last year

1534
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:33.960
with Single City Austin with a Christmas party

1535
01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:35.520
that he has every year.

1536
01:06:35.520 --> 01:06:36.960
And, or is it Halloween?

1537
01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:37.800
Christmas?

1538
01:06:37.800 --> 01:06:38.620
Christmas.

1539
01:06:38.620 --> 01:06:39.460
Christmas.

1540
01:06:39.460 --> 01:06:40.300
Christmas.

1541
01:06:40.300 --> 01:06:41.120
No Halloween.

1542
01:06:41.120 --> 01:06:41.960
Is it Christmas?

1543
01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:42.800
No Halloween.

1544
01:06:42.800 --> 01:06:45.080
Some people do, whatever, we're not going to get into that.

1545
01:06:45.080 --> 01:06:48.520
Okay, so adoption or birth kids only.

1546
01:06:48.520 --> 01:06:50.900
He wants to have, he wants to have kids if he can.

1547
01:06:50.900 --> 01:06:54.380
He wants to, he wants to father some children if he can.

1548
01:06:54.380 --> 01:06:56.260
Are you open to adopting as well?

1549
01:06:57.680 --> 01:06:59.840
That's like a possibility, like to talk with that.

1550
01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:03.700
I mean, definitely something to consider, absolutely.

1551
01:07:03.700 --> 01:07:04.880
Absolutely.

1552
01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:07.760
52, Rachel, for those of you that are asking the age.

1553
01:07:07.760 --> 01:07:10.240
All right, well, thank you for joining us tonight.

1554
01:07:10.240 --> 01:07:11.840
And you guys will see more of him

1555
01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:12.920
because I'm going to be spotlighting him

1556
01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:14.760
over on Instagram as well.

1557
01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:15.840
So we appreciate it.

1558
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:16.960
Thank you for joining us.

1559
01:07:16.960 --> 01:07:18.000
Thank you.

1560
01:07:18.000 --> 01:07:20.560
All right, and we just have a couple more.

1561
01:07:20.560 --> 01:07:23.460
You guys, this is like the Austin show tonight.

1562
01:07:23.460 --> 01:07:25.280
This is the Austin show.

1563
01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:26.680
All right, let's see.

1564
01:07:27.500 --> 01:07:29.540
I'm going to go ahead and do a quick Q&A

1565
01:07:29.540 --> 01:07:32.420
because I have so many guys on here from Austin.

1566
01:07:33.780 --> 01:07:36.700
Okay, let me make sure.

1567
01:07:36.700 --> 01:07:40.740
I think I only have, Chad, are you here?

1568
01:07:43.900 --> 01:07:44.740
Chad?

1569
01:07:46.940 --> 01:07:47.980
Chad, Chad, Chad.

1570
01:07:49.580 --> 01:07:51.540
All right, I might have,

1571
01:07:51.540 --> 01:07:53.580
was supposed to do Chad at the beginning

1572
01:07:53.580 --> 01:07:55.900
because I know that he had some ministry thing going on.

1573
01:07:56.080 --> 01:07:57.440
And we will get him next time.

1574
01:07:57.440 --> 01:07:58.560
He's phenomenal too.

1575
01:07:58.560 --> 01:08:00.360
He goes to Bethel Austin here.

1576
01:08:00.360 --> 01:08:03.560
He's incredible and available.

1577
01:08:03.560 --> 01:08:05.400
And you guys will meet him soon.

1578
01:08:05.400 --> 01:08:07.720
I will also be spotlighting him

1579
01:08:07.720 --> 01:08:10.600
over on my Instagram as well.

1580
01:08:10.600 --> 01:08:12.720
I'm going to be spotlighting all these guys on my Instagram

1581
01:08:12.720 --> 01:08:14.040
and I'm spotlighting you ladies.

1582
01:08:14.040 --> 01:08:15.160
I don't know if you've noticed,

1583
01:08:15.160 --> 01:08:17.160
some of you don't notice when I spotlight you,

1584
01:08:17.160 --> 01:08:18.720
but I do spotlight those of you

1585
01:08:18.720 --> 01:08:20.880
that have given me permission in phase three

1586
01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:22.200
to spotlight you.

1587
01:08:22.200 --> 01:08:23.080
There is a post,

1588
01:08:23.080 --> 01:08:25.560
it's tagged to the featured section of the Facebook

1589
01:08:26.220 --> 01:08:27.819
and it asks if you can be spotlighted.

1590
01:08:27.819 --> 01:08:29.859
It has a little permission blurb

1591
01:08:29.859 --> 01:08:32.660
that you have to repost in the comments.

1592
01:08:32.660 --> 01:08:33.939
And so go find that

1593
01:08:33.939 --> 01:08:35.859
and make sure that you give me new pictures.

1594
01:08:35.859 --> 01:08:38.060
Otherwise, I'm just going to take whatever picture

1595
01:08:38.060 --> 01:08:40.740
I think is cute from your Facebook.

1596
01:08:40.740 --> 01:08:41.859
That's what I'm going to do.

1597
01:08:41.859 --> 01:08:43.460
I'm just going to go to your Facebook page

1598
01:08:43.460 --> 01:08:45.460
and I'm going to take whatever picture I like.

1599
01:08:45.460 --> 01:08:47.140
And so if you like something,

1600
01:08:47.140 --> 01:08:51.060
then make sure you post it in the comments of that as well.

1601
01:08:51.060 --> 01:08:51.899
And I just remembered,

1602
01:08:51.899 --> 01:08:54.100
we have another one of our own here.

1603
01:08:54.120 --> 01:08:55.880
One of my favorites here, Clayton.

1604
01:08:55.880 --> 01:09:00.520
Hey, hi, I almost missed you, but here we are.

1605
01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:02.040
How's it going?

1606
01:09:02.040 --> 01:09:04.399
All right, you guys, this is Clayton.

1607
01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:07.880
He has been hanging out with me for a while now.

1608
01:09:07.880 --> 01:09:11.399
He is a tried and true member of Last Year Single.

1609
01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:14.600
And some of you may have seen him or not seen him

1610
01:09:14.600 --> 01:09:18.520
because he was gone for a little while and now he's back.

1611
01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:21.040
So Clayton, give us a little bio of yourself.

1612
01:09:21.040 --> 01:09:21.880
Where are you from?

1613
01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:22.720
How old are you?

1614
01:09:22.720 --> 01:09:23.640
Have you ever been married?

1615
01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:25.319
And what are you up to?

1616
01:09:26.700 --> 01:09:29.380
Well, since everybody's from Austin,

1617
01:09:29.380 --> 01:09:31.620
I'm actually from Amarillo, Texas,

1618
01:09:31.620 --> 01:09:35.040
where the wind and the dust live.

1619
01:09:36.180 --> 01:09:41.020
I come from a cattle ranching background right now,

1620
01:09:41.020 --> 01:09:42.260
but I work as a,

1621
01:09:43.220 --> 01:09:45.460
what's known as an instrument electrical tech,

1622
01:09:45.460 --> 01:09:47.060
which is basically an electrician

1623
01:09:47.060 --> 01:09:49.779
and an electrical engineer all in one.

1624
01:09:50.819 --> 01:09:51.700
Oh, wow.

1625
01:09:51.700 --> 01:09:52.819
Yeah.

1626
01:09:52.840 --> 01:09:54.640
But you're a pilot.

1627
01:09:54.640 --> 01:09:56.880
Yeah, so that's the fun thing about me

1628
01:09:56.880 --> 01:10:00.120
is that I'm learning how to be a flight instructor.

1629
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:02.340
I'm a flight instructor right now.

1630
01:10:02.340 --> 01:10:03.340
Wow.

1631
01:10:03.340 --> 01:10:04.340
Okay.

1632
01:10:04.340 --> 01:10:11.260
Now my, my daughter's husband, Trevor, his sister is also at the point in her, you know,

1633
01:10:11.260 --> 01:10:16.020
her journey towards being a commercial pilot as she's a flight instructor as well, Karen

1634
01:10:16.020 --> 01:10:17.020
Austin.

1635
01:10:17.020 --> 01:10:20.500
So she's learning how to, you know, she's already passed her flight school.

1636
01:10:20.500 --> 01:10:25.100
Now she's instructing others to get her hours in to be a commercial pilot.

1637
01:10:25.100 --> 01:10:26.100
That's what you're doing.

1638
01:10:26.100 --> 01:10:27.100
Yes.

1639
01:10:27.100 --> 01:10:28.100
Yep.

1640
01:10:28.100 --> 01:10:29.100
That's what it is.

1641
01:10:29.100 --> 01:10:31.900
And, and we want you to, because we don't want anyone flying us in commercial airlines

1642
01:10:31.900 --> 01:10:34.300
that don't have the hours and the experience.

1643
01:10:34.300 --> 01:10:35.300
Okay.

1644
01:10:35.300 --> 01:10:36.420
So tell us a fun fact about yourself.

1645
01:10:36.420 --> 01:10:38.740
Well, you know what, you know, what's fun.

1646
01:10:38.740 --> 01:10:39.740
What have you done?

1647
01:10:39.740 --> 01:10:40.740
That's fun.

1648
01:10:40.740 --> 01:10:41.740
Recently?

1649
01:10:41.740 --> 01:10:48.780
Uh, most fun thing recently, um, right now, um, well I'm an avid weightlifter used to

1650
01:10:48.780 --> 01:10:49.780
be a CrossFit coach.

1651
01:10:49.780 --> 01:10:53.740
So I'm prepping for the thousand pound, uh, weight club.

1652
01:10:53.740 --> 01:10:54.740
Whoa.

1653
01:10:54.740 --> 01:10:55.740
Yeah.

1654
01:10:55.740 --> 01:11:01.180
So I'm going to try to get over a thousand pounds, um, with three lifts.

1655
01:11:01.180 --> 01:11:05.980
So, uh, not only that, but I love to, um, I love to golf as well.

1656
01:11:05.980 --> 01:11:07.980
Um, love to hike.

1657
01:11:07.980 --> 01:11:11.740
Um, anybody who wants to go shooting guns with me is more than welcome to

1658
01:11:11.740 --> 01:11:16.340
take you and remind the ladies how old you are.

1659
01:11:16.340 --> 01:11:17.340
Cause they're asking.

1660
01:11:17.340 --> 01:11:19.380
Oh, I'm 31 years old.

1661
01:11:19.380 --> 01:11:22.440
He's 31 years old, but he's a mature 31.

1662
01:11:22.440 --> 01:11:25.560
And so he's not opposed to a lady who's a little older than him.

1663
01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:26.840
Just so y'all know.

1664
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:27.840
Okay.

1665
01:11:27.840 --> 01:11:30.400
Um, he likes his ladies a little bit more on the mature side.

1666
01:11:30.400 --> 01:11:33.360
And so don't worry about that, but you gotta be fun.

1667
01:11:33.360 --> 01:11:34.440
All right.

1668
01:11:34.440 --> 01:11:35.440
You gotta be feminine.

1669
01:11:35.440 --> 01:11:37.380
I've known Clayton for a long time.

1670
01:11:37.380 --> 01:11:39.200
He definitely wants a family.

1671
01:11:39.200 --> 01:11:40.800
Uh, he's open to you.

1672
01:11:40.800 --> 01:11:43.120
If you have children, you just have to do your heartwork.

1673
01:11:43.120 --> 01:11:44.120
All right.

1674
01:11:44.120 --> 01:11:46.800
This is this, this guy right here, he's been raised, right?

1675
01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:48.400
He's a country gentleman.

1676
01:11:48.400 --> 01:11:53.600
And so he wants someone who wants to be, you know, treated like that.

1677
01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:56.560
You know, they want, they want the chivalry cause he can bring it.

1678
01:11:56.560 --> 01:11:57.560
Okay.

1679
01:11:57.560 --> 01:11:59.260
And he, he can also take you to the gun range.

1680
01:11:59.260 --> 01:12:02.640
And then some of the guys are asking if you can go on a mandate with them to the gun range

1681
01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:03.640
as well.

1682
01:12:03.640 --> 01:12:08.840
So he is open to distance cause he's a pilot.

1683
01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:11.240
He can just jump on his plane and fly on over to you guys.

1684
01:12:11.240 --> 01:12:12.240
I'm sorry.

1685
01:12:12.240 --> 01:12:14.080
I'm answering for him, but I know him.

1686
01:12:14.080 --> 01:12:20.240
So, um, let's see, uh, with all the dating that we've done, okay.

1687
01:12:20.240 --> 01:12:24.920
With you in this community and the people that you've met, what is a non-negotiable

1688
01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:27.080
for you now?

1689
01:12:27.080 --> 01:12:29.080
What have you found out?

1690
01:12:29.080 --> 01:12:36.800
Um, I guess obviously somebody who is a very kind and understanding, you know, honestly

1691
01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:42.880
just somebody who I can partner with on the assignment to be a companion with, um, as

1692
01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:48.480
you may, as some of you, y'all may know, like I'm a very driven man, somebody who is

1693
01:12:48.480 --> 01:12:53.840
able to support that, but at the same time, like I want to have, you know, compassion

1694
01:12:53.840 --> 01:12:58.520
for somebody I want to feel, I want to serve somebody as much as they want to serve me

1695
01:12:58.520 --> 01:13:02.320
as well, because, you know, I want to be treated nice.

1696
01:13:02.320 --> 01:13:05.960
I want to be very treated kind and I will love to reciprocate those feelings back as

1697
01:13:05.960 --> 01:13:06.960
well.

1698
01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:07.960
Yes.

1699
01:13:07.960 --> 01:13:08.960
Yes.

1700
01:13:08.960 --> 01:13:10.960
Clayton does not love public speaking.

1701
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:14.480
He might be a little nervous right now, but I'll tell you right now, this guy is salt

1702
01:13:14.480 --> 01:13:15.480
of the earth.

1703
01:13:15.480 --> 01:13:16.480
He's a salt of the earth guy.

1704
01:13:16.480 --> 01:13:17.480
All right.

1705
01:13:17.480 --> 01:13:22.520
And he is looking for someone to partner with someone who wants to be loved into love someone

1706
01:13:22.520 --> 01:13:26.840
who wants to raise a family together and, you know, do amazing things and grow.

1707
01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:27.920
He's very committed to growth.

1708
01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:32.480
I've seen Clayton grow so much spiritually since he's been here, always loved the Lord,

1709
01:13:32.480 --> 01:13:37.920
but just going after more and more and more and more all the time, physically, mentally,

1710
01:13:37.920 --> 01:13:39.720
spiritually, emotionally.

1711
01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:43.120
And so you need to be someone who's committed to growth as well.

1712
01:13:43.120 --> 01:13:44.120
All right.

1713
01:13:44.120 --> 01:13:45.320
Does he have an older uncle?

1714
01:13:45.320 --> 01:13:46.720
I don't think you do.

1715
01:13:46.720 --> 01:13:49.720
No, not a single one.

1716
01:13:49.720 --> 01:13:50.720
All right.

1717
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:51.720
All right.

1718
01:13:51.720 --> 01:13:55.920
Gentlemen and ladies, would you relocate?

1719
01:13:55.920 --> 01:13:57.720
Is Texas home or would you relocate?

1720
01:13:57.720 --> 01:14:04.560
Well, you know, I can say that the panhandle to me is home, but, you know, I'm definitely

1721
01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:06.020
open to relocate.

1722
01:14:06.020 --> 01:14:12.420
And I should mention, like, you know, I have, I'm kind of split because I feel like next

1723
01:14:12.420 --> 01:14:16.940
year will be like a move for me in case if things don't change and I'm looking either

1724
01:14:16.940 --> 01:14:21.700
at the Dallas Fort Worth area or also over at Redding, California.

1725
01:14:21.700 --> 01:14:22.700
Oh, really?

1726
01:14:22.700 --> 01:14:23.700
Okay.

1727
01:14:23.700 --> 01:14:24.700
That's news for me.

1728
01:14:24.700 --> 01:14:25.700
Okay.

1729
01:14:25.700 --> 01:14:26.700
That's good news to know.

1730
01:14:26.700 --> 01:14:27.700
All right.

1731
01:14:27.700 --> 01:14:31.660
So ladies, if you know anyone in Redding that should meet Clayton, if you're in that area,

1732
01:14:31.660 --> 01:14:35.820
if you're in the Dallas area and also if you're in the Amarillo area, really anywhere

1733
01:14:35.820 --> 01:14:37.500
because he really can fly.

1734
01:14:37.500 --> 01:14:41.300
He's not, he is not shy of long distance.

1735
01:14:41.300 --> 01:14:42.300
He's done it before.

1736
01:14:42.300 --> 01:14:43.300
He'll do it again.

1737
01:14:43.300 --> 01:14:46.660
So this is someone who is, is okay with that.

1738
01:14:46.660 --> 01:14:47.660
All right.

1739
01:14:47.660 --> 01:14:53.900
So as long as, you know, you're really, you know, serious, serious about, you know, about

1740
01:14:53.900 --> 01:14:57.300
trying to see whether or not there's something to grow and to build together.

1741
01:14:57.300 --> 01:14:58.300
Yeah.

1742
01:14:58.300 --> 01:14:59.300
There's a lot of young women in Redding.

1743
01:14:59.300 --> 01:15:00.300
That's for sure.

1744
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:01.000
All right, you guys.

1745
01:15:00.300 --> 01:15:00.300


1746
01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:02.000
So this is Clayton.

1747
01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:06.080
He's 31 years old, but he's a mature 31 and he is looking for someone who's ready to settle

1748
01:15:06.080 --> 01:15:11.200
down, have a family, build a life together, grow together and kick butt and take names

1749
01:15:11.200 --> 01:15:12.200
later together.

1750
01:15:12.200 --> 01:15:13.200
All right, Clayton.

1751
01:15:13.200 --> 01:15:14.200
All right.

1752
01:15:14.200 --> 01:15:15.200
Thank you, Clayton.

1753
01:15:15.200 --> 01:15:18.480
You guys, I'm going to be spotlighting all of these guys more and more and more over

1754
01:15:18.480 --> 01:15:19.480
on my Instagram.

1755
01:15:19.480 --> 01:15:21.040
I'll be doing live interviews with them.

1756
01:15:21.040 --> 01:15:23.120
I'll be posting pictures of them.

1757
01:15:23.120 --> 01:15:26.760
If you know anyone who should meet them or you think you should meet them, please make

1758
01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:30.840
sure that you send us that email, put their name in the subject line, and then put your

1759
01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:35.420
bio and your pictures in the body of that email gentlemen, as well, if there's any ladies

1760
01:15:35.420 --> 01:15:38.360
that you want to meet, even someone that we're not spotlighting, someone that you've just

1761
01:15:38.360 --> 01:15:44.120
seen here in the zoom room, someone that you want to get to know better, make sure that

1762
01:15:44.120 --> 01:15:50.680
you send us an email and say, Hey, all I know is that, you know, their, their, uh, name

1763
01:15:50.680 --> 01:15:53.120
on the zoom window was Carissa.

1764
01:15:53.120 --> 01:15:54.120
That's all I know.

1765
01:15:54.120 --> 01:15:57.600
I don't know anything else about them, but we'll find them for you.

1766
01:15:57.600 --> 01:15:58.760
We'll go find them.

1767
01:15:58.760 --> 01:15:59.760
Right?

1768
01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:04.400
All you have to do is make sure you send us your bio and your, and your pictures so that

1769
01:16:04.400 --> 01:16:06.240
we don't have to hunt you down as well.

1770
01:16:06.240 --> 01:16:07.240
Right?

1771
01:16:07.240 --> 01:16:12.080
You guys, this has been our installment of single spotlights for March.

1772
01:16:12.080 --> 01:16:16.080
And I think that we had some really incredible people tonight spotlighted, and we're going

1773
01:16:16.080 --> 01:16:17.840
to continue to do that over social media.

1774
01:16:17.840 --> 01:16:22.680
There's going to be a lot of fun things happening in social media, including an Instagram account

1775
01:16:22.680 --> 01:16:25.080
for single cities.

1776
01:16:25.080 --> 01:16:26.080
So you heard it here.

1777
01:16:26.080 --> 01:16:27.080
We're working on it.

1778
01:16:27.080 --> 01:16:28.280
I used to have an Instagram account.

1779
01:16:28.280 --> 01:16:30.840
It was a private account called single nation.

1780
01:16:30.840 --> 01:16:32.080
And I spotlighted singles.

1781
01:16:32.080 --> 01:16:34.200
Does anyone remember when I did that?

1782
01:16:34.200 --> 01:16:35.200
Raise your hand.

1783
01:16:35.200 --> 01:16:37.240
If you remember that some of you were spotlighted there.

1784
01:16:37.240 --> 01:16:41.280
And a lot of people that were spotlighted, there are married now.

1785
01:16:41.280 --> 01:16:42.280
Okay.

1786
01:16:42.280 --> 01:16:46.480
They got married as a result of those spotlights and the different things that God was doing

1787
01:16:46.480 --> 01:16:49.680
in a, you know, in conjunction with those spotlights.

1788
01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:53.320
And so what we're going to do with that account is we're going to repurpose it for our single

1789
01:16:53.320 --> 01:16:54.320
cities.

1790
01:16:54.320 --> 01:16:55.800
We're growing more and more single cities.

1791
01:16:55.800 --> 01:16:58.040
We're going to start ramping up our Indiana single city.

1792
01:16:58.040 --> 01:17:00.960
We're going to start ramping up some of the ones that are already ramping up.

1793
01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:02.360
They're going to ramp up even more.

1794
01:17:02.360 --> 01:17:03.360
That includes Orlando.

1795
01:17:03.360 --> 01:17:04.360
That includes Dallas.

1796
01:17:04.360 --> 01:17:05.680
That includes Austin.

1797
01:17:05.680 --> 01:17:06.800
That includes New York City.

1798
01:17:06.800 --> 01:17:07.800
That includes LA.

1799
01:17:07.800 --> 01:17:09.000
That includes Reading.

1800
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:14.560
That includes a few new ones that are forming.

1801
01:17:14.560 --> 01:17:17.800
There's one that some of them kind of a little failure to launch, but we're going to ramp

1802
01:17:17.800 --> 01:17:21.000
them up like Atlanta and Nashville.

1803
01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:22.720
Those are going to ramp up more.

1804
01:17:22.720 --> 01:17:26.240
So are the Pacific Northwest ones, but we're going to, what we're going to do is we're

1805
01:17:26.240 --> 01:17:30.800
going to take that Instagram account and we're going to let you guys go over there.

1806
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:32.120
It's going to stay private.

1807
01:17:32.120 --> 01:17:37.520
So we're not going to let all of the crazy spam and bots in, but we're going to list

1808
01:17:37.520 --> 01:17:40.240
the events of those single cities and the highlights.

1809
01:17:40.240 --> 01:17:44.800
Each single city will have a highlight reel on that account.

1810
01:17:44.800 --> 01:17:45.800
And then what are we going to do?

1811
01:17:45.800 --> 01:17:51.080
We're going to, we're going to spotlight singles from those regions on that account.

1812
01:17:51.080 --> 01:17:52.200
Okay.

1813
01:17:52.200 --> 01:17:53.200
So that'll be fun.

1814
01:17:53.200 --> 01:17:58.400
And we're also going to spotlight events that are coming up and happening in your region

1815
01:17:58.400 --> 01:17:59.400
or something.

1816
01:17:59.400 --> 01:18:00.560
Maybe you're going to want to travel to that.

1817
01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:06.080
We're doing as a single nation as last year, single, maybe a trip, a conference, something

1818
01:18:06.080 --> 01:18:12.280
that we're participating in lots of in-person opportunities in 2025.

1819
01:18:12.280 --> 01:18:13.400
You guys excited about that?

1820
01:18:13.400 --> 01:18:14.400
I know that I am.

1821
01:18:14.400 --> 01:18:15.400
I hope you are too.

1822
01:18:15.400 --> 01:18:16.400
All right.

1823
01:18:16.400 --> 01:18:22.480
I'm going to see you on supernatural Saturday, faith Friday, prayer, faith Friday, you guys

Her father passed away.

1826
01:18:27.680 --> 01:18:31.000
It just happened not yesterday, but the day before.

1827
01:18:31.000 --> 01:18:35.120
And so, and then of course you guys know Bethany Cooper's father passed away as well.

1828
01:18:35.120 --> 01:18:39.960
So both of our, two of our main team members lost their fathers here in the last couple

1829
01:18:39.960 --> 01:18:40.960
of weeks.

1830
01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:43.680
So please keep them in prayer, keep their families in prayer.

1831
01:18:43.680 --> 01:18:48.680
