That's good.
B
Yeah.
A
When was the last time you had a girlfriend?
B
It's been about a year and a half.
A
What happened?
B
We. Yeah, we broke up. We're still. We're still okay. Mostly because I was like. Yeah, I was going crazy.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Were you with her for a long time?
B
Yeah, we were friends for a long time, and then like, over 10 years. And then we became intimate with each other. And then. And then we kind of stopped that and just stayed friends. And then we started dating, like, kind of over the pandemic.
A
Yeah.
B
Became like pandemic homies, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Are you a monogamous person?
B
What do you mean? When I'm dating somebody? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, if I have a lady, I got a lady.
A
I don't know if you had, like. Have you ever had an open relationship?
B
I mean, I've been. I've been like, I've dated people that we were open about or just honest about. Yeah, you're not the only person I'm seeing. Yeah, but I've never been in a relationship where like, yo, this is like, we're together, but here's how we're going to do it, you know, I'm saying, yeah, that's. But I've dated girls who were in open relationships also, and I was cool with it. I'm like, all right, you know?
A
Oh, so they were in a relationship with someone else and they told you about that?
B
Yeah, like, yo, I'm in an open relationship. I have a.
A
Do you think they were telling the truth?
B
Like, what do you mean? Like, I feel like, oh, like they're cheat. Actually cheating.
A
Right.
B
You know, I was. I was a little suspect of that, but then, yeah, I don't know. I don't. I don't know. I. I don't know how it works for some people, but I don't know. I think that fools will get jealous eventually or. I don't know.
A
I had a guy tell me that he was in an open relationship once.
B
I think it's a little more suspect when it's the guy.
A
Right.
B
For some reason, I more believed this girl, you know, like, because I'm picturing the guy being like, well, yeah, go do that. Because then that. So I can go do it, you know?
A
Yeah. So crazy.
B
But I don't know, some people are on some spiritual, like, no, our energies need to speak, you know? So it's like, so like, hey, do your thing. But I don't know, when I have a lady, I'm like, nah, nah, that's who I'm ramming. That's who I'm kicking it with, you know? Like.
A
That's who you're ramming?
B
Yeah, like sexual activity. Sorry, I'm not.
A
I just have never heard anyone say it quite so Ramming. I see him ramming. That's hilarious. So when. Where do you meet people? What's your favorite way to meet people that you date?
B
I don't know. You know, if I. I've tried the online thing and that really doesn't really work out for me. But I'm still, like, open to it, obviously, because you got to be these days. But mostly just being out and about. Like, lately I've been more confident of just being like, you know, if you see a cute girl at a coffee shop, Whatever. Just being like, all right, I'm gonna go up to her and talk to her. And it's kind of crazy because a lot of girls are like, surprised by that because it's not happening as much. I feel.
A
Yeah.
B
These days they're like, oh my God. Like, even if they have a boyfriend or something, they're like, oh my God. Like, I haven't had a guy come up to me in person in so long. Like, thank you. I'm flattered. You know, I have a boyfriend, but thank you so much. Seriously. And like, they're. They're still like, appreciative, you know.
A
Yeah.
B
But I have gone on a couple dates of just approaching people in public, you know, or women, you know.
A
I do feel like that's kind of like a lost, A lost act though.
B
Yeah. I feel like. But when you do it though, the women, like, appreciate it that much more now.
A
Yeah.
B
So I've been like, all right, holy. You know, I got my little.
A
Know your radar.
B
Yeah. Cuz before I wouldn't. I wasn't as confident. Before I be, oh, gosh. But now. Yeah, but like. Yeah. So if I like, if like a girl like has an energy or a vibe and I'll be leaving. I've even, I've even like left the place, like driving. I. I gotta go back. I mean, I gotta talk to her.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, just so I like, at least know, you know.
A
Yeah.
B
And so, yeah, I've been getting better at that. Once you do it like a couple times, it's a little easier, you know.
A
Do girls ever come up to you after shows?
B
Yeah, for sure. But you know, and I do usually do a meet and greet when I'm touring and stuff like that. And I always, like, girls will put their number. Not that I'm like this heartthrob dude to do like, I know my lane or whatever. But it's like. But I also don't like to use comedy as like a way to like, I'm gonna get some chicks, you know? Or like.
A
Yeah.
B
Or like, oh, you saw me on stage, huh? Now you have an opportunity to kick it with me one on one. Like, that's pretty cool for you, right? You know, like, I'm not like, you know, I'm not doing all that. I just. But you know, if you have a connection, you have a connection. So. Yeah. Yeah, I don't like, I won't be like, yo, what's up? Like, but if there's like a natural conversation or vibe, you know.
A
Yeah.
B
Then yeah. But overall though, I Don't like to use comedy as a way to, like,
A
hey, like, you know, do you have a type?
B
You know, I. I've dated all, like. I. I like to say I don't have a type, but. But I always end up with, like, definitely shorties because I'm a little homie, too. But I've dated taller hyenas, too, you know, like. Or taller women.
A
Sorry, taller. What?
B
Hyena. So a hyena is like a chick? A girl.

And Rammy's not like, it sounds aggressive, but, you know, a girl can rammed me too. You know, she's like, yeah, you know, I rammed them out or whatever.
A
Like, that's aggressive. Yeah.
B
Yeah, that does sound aggressive. So I'll just say, yeah. But.
A
But yeah.
B
Taller, high eyes. I've dated and then. Which is kind of, you know, I kind of like it. I don't know. Maybe I feel like, oh, wow, you're up there. Like, you know, like. But.
A
But it's like climbing a tree, huh?
B
Yeah, you just got to be the koala for a little bit. But. But, you know, I embrace it. Just, hey, hold me. But. But, yeah, I always didn't know. But like, shorter ones usually. And usually it's. These are Latinas or Asians, you know, for some reason. But I've dated, like, white girls and, you know, black girls and. Yeah, let me see.
A
What other kinds of girls? There's Mexican, Latina. Oh, it's the same thing. Yeah.
B
Asian, Hispanics, Latinas, Mexicans,
A

B
I did date a Dominican girl in town. She was a spicy one.
A
Yeah, I bet she was hot, though.
B
She was.
A
But I've seen the girls that come out of Colombia.
B
Oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. Dominicans and Colombians are definitely a little different, but, yeah, Colombia.
A
Oh, Dominican. I'm sorry. I had my heart set on Colombia.
B
Yeah.
A
I have selective hearing.
B
Yeah. It's all good. Yeah. I've dated Colombia, too. Yeah. Yeah.
A
But, yeah, they always win the comp. The modeling competitions, the beauty pageants.
B
Oh.
A
So I just assume they're all pretty. One girl wins in the world, and I'm like, all that country's amazing. It's got talent.
B
So. Yeah. Yeah. I don't. I don't know. I don't really have a type, but I always end up with usually.

Little. Little brown homies. Yeah.
A
What is your biggest fear in A relationship.
B
My biggest fear.
A
Yep.
B
Probably get him getting my heart broken, you know, Or. Yeah.
A
How. What. What breaks your heart? Rejection. Cheating.
B
Yeah. Any of that, I guess if we're like, if I'm all in love and, hey, you know, I'm like, I'm gonna be with this. I know. For the rest of my life. Like, I love her. Yeah. Sorry. Be with this woman for the rest of my life.
A
No, I like Hana. I'm learning. I'm just, like, not used to it.
B
I love hearing you say it.
A
H. I think of Hiney when I say that.
B
Yeah. A lot of people think of hyena, but yes, you know. H, yeah. You'll be like, I'm a down ass. H, you know, women embrace it as an empower thing. Like, I'm a down ass. H, you know?
A
Do women call themselves H?
B
Sometimes they do. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, like, yeah, I'm a. I'm a down ass. H, you know, and then so like a dude they'll call a vato.
A
Okay. I thought that was, like, a rude thing to say.
B
No, a vato's like, that means straight up, like, dude or bro or.
A
Yeah, okay.
B
Or, you know, like, when cholas talk about almost dating this vato, like, he was crazy, but I liked him, you know, like, whatever, you know, like, you
A
know, I just want to see you put on a wig and be like, a Latina.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I do it.
A
I want to see you do this. Okay, so back to being your heartbroken. When was the last time a girl broke your heart?
B
Whoo. It's. It's been a while. I mean, this last. The last relationship I was in, I was pretty heartbroken, but I caused that. So I guess I wouldn't say it was easier, but I was just more like, more, you know, like bummed out or beating myself up about that rather than like, oh, she left me for another dude or something like that. It's been a while, though, so. Man. Perfectly like. Yeah. I don't know. And it was just that, like, we were kind of together and then. But it didn't. Didn't work out, and she just. She wasn't ready for. I was ready, you know, Just the timing wasn't right.
A
Yeah.
B
So. Or I thought I was ready. Looking back on it, obviously, I'm like,
A
oh, yeah, not the right person, but.
B
But yeah, she just wanted to see other dudes and do her thing and. And she even. She had told me, like, you're like, the type of guy I'd want to marry, you know? But this was, like, a long time ago so that we still had, like, a lot of life. But she was like, you're the type of guy I'd want to marry, but I want to go do this right now.
A
What a data.
B
Dudes do my thing. But when she told me, like, you know, you're the type of dude I want to marry, I let it get, you know, homie, I wrote her a poem and shit and brought her, like, flowers like that, like, the next day. Romantic, I know, but it was thirsty, you know? But I was like, she told me that, and I took it as, like, what? I'm the type of guy, so you want to get married? Like, you know, you would marry me. You're saying, you know, but she's saying, like, yeah, but not right now, homie. Like, I want to go grandmother dude first. Grandmother vatos first.
A
I feel like. It's so. I feel like people are always like, I. I only see you as, like, a friend. And then whenever you hear I only see you as a friend, it's like, but don't you want to marry your best friend? You always hear people like, oh, I married my best friend. And it's like, well, the last fucking guy that I dated only saw me as, like, a friend. And then like, you're gonna go marry your best friend. I wasn't a good enough friend. I should have been a better friend.
B
Oh, wow. Yeah. When you say it like that.
A
Do you know what I mean? So when people are like, you're the kind of guy that I'd like to marry, or the kind of girl I'd like to marry, so what? So what about, like, why am I the kind and not the one?
B
Yeah, that's interesting, because I'm like, in my head, I'm like, you say, you told me I'm the type of guy you'd want to marry, but why can't we that, like, you don't want to get down right now?
A
Like, yeah, you're trying to go find someone that you don't want to marry. Like, I'm pretty much. So, like, you're gonna lock it down? You're afraid you're gonna lock it down. You don't want to be locked down.
B
I guess that's what it was. But it led to me being too thirsty, so that pushed her away even farther. And then just me just laying in bed thinking about her ramming other dudes, you know? Or, like, so I would just, like, be the. Being a buster, homie. Like, you know, welcome to the end, everybody. It's a storytelling show.

Well, what's your single life like? What do you do day to day? What's your single life look like?
B
I mean, I'm work is just like, I'm kind of like a workaholic. I get like, I'm pretty busy right now. I'm just like always touring or filming or, you know, I'm at my studio or just busy, busy, busy, you know, and then. Or with my spending time with my God. Children. But, you know, you. You know, gets lonely too. It's just like, oh, man, you know.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, I live alone. I gotta. I got a pad, you know, I'm just like. So obviously, like, on paper, you know, it sounds good to, like, girls, like, oh, he has a job in a house, like, you know, you know, but then it's like, I don't know, just like, finding somebody that I want to put that. Make that time for car. Because, you know, your time gets precious, especially you get older.
A
Yeah.
B
Career stuff and, you know, I'm sure it's like that for you. You got, you know, a lot of stuff on your plate right now, you know, so it's like your time is precious. So. So I don't know. But I want, you know, I want that. I want to meet somebody. I'm like, yes. Like, when can I see you? You know, Like, I want that feeling,
A
you know, what's up?
B
Let's kick it. You know? But it's just like going through the. All the stages and going on that day. Oh, so you like hiking, like, how many siblings you have? And just say, I'm like, fuck, I don't want to do that shit, man. That sounds so. So. Yeah. Yeah. That's where I'm at.
A
There's parts of dating that I miss, and there's so much of dating I don't miss.
B
Yeah.
A
You know, I feel like dating can be fun, just meeting new people in general. But I'm like, but you don't even have to date to meet new people. You can just go out with your friends and meet new friends. All my friends seem to have new friends all the time. So I'm just meeting, like, new people. So I'm like, okay, I guess I don't have to date to meet new people. But when you're single, there's this. There's a lot of freedom in that too, because you don't care really about what anybody else is. You're not on anyone else's schedule.
B
Right, right, right.
A
And now I'm on, like, you know, I'm married and so I'm on someone else's schedule a lot. I'm always asking, like, what's your plan today?
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
What are you doing?
B
I definitely. Yeah. Don't miss that part of it. Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
But I don't know. Sometimes that's good for your life, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
I don't know. I can't speak for you. I'm just saying it's good for me.
A
Yeah, but when you're single and you don't have to do that, you have, like, you have so much freedom to just choose what you want to do throughout the day, and I forgot what that's like.
B
Yeah.
A
Now my life revolves around two other people. I'm constantly, like, looking after. Yeah.
B
Yeah. So you got all sad for me.
A
Pretty. They asked me if I have, like, time to do a podcast. They're like, can you come on Friday? I'm like, yeah, I have something to do for Me podcast. Thank you so much. Very grateful for my job. Okay, well, I have this menu here, and I have appetizer questions, which are, like, basic, kind of like digging into the surface of your dating life. And then I have main course questions, which are deeper, more serious questions. And then I have my dessert questions, which are at the end.
B
Okay.
A
Do you want me to start with the appetizers, or do we go to main course?
B
Yeah, no appetizers. Right.
A
We can ease our way into this.
B
Yeah. I don't know.
A
These are easy questions. These are easy questions. Do you believe in astrology?
B
You know, yes. I was slow going into it, but then fool started gaming me up on it, and then I'm like, oh, I'm a Virgo.
A
I'm a Virgo.
B
What? Girl, shut up.
A
Oh, my God. When were you born?
B
September 5th.
A
Fuck. I was the 15th.
B
Oh, crazy.
A
I am the 15th. I'm still alive.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
So the. So both Virgos. I get along with Virgos really well.
B
Nice. That was best.
A
We would be best friends. So he knows. So which zodiac signs do you not get along with? I want to see if it's the same. Oh.
B
Oh. I don't know if I think it's, like, Capricorn or, like, is it. I don't know that part. I don't know. I know when I start seeing somebody, I'll. I'll look up their sign, but I just kind of started getting into this.
A
Do you look at their sign?
B
I don't know if I don't know off the top of my head, like, no, I don't get along with those. I don't go along. I know. Tauruses are good for me.
A
My husband's a Taurus.
B
Really?
A
Yeah.
B
That's crazy.
A
I know. Scorpios are hard. No.
B
Okay.
A
And Cancers are a hard. No.
B
Scorpio.
A
I mean, I don't have a choice anymore. But those two hard noses.
B
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
A
Cancers Are too fucking sensitive. They take everything personal.
B
Too fucking sensitive. Yeah.
A
Can't do it. I can't do it.
B
But, hey, shout out to the cancers. We love y' all still, you know,
A
can't give any honest feedback to a cancer. They're just. They go, you don't like me? And it's like, no, you just fucking need to do what I'm telling you to do to be a better person.
B
Right?
A
And then Scorpios are these, like, fire signs, and they have all this passion, but they seem to, like, have a general hatred towards okay things.
B
Oh, my God. Dude.
A
Just always mad.
B
Oh, my God. I did. I dated a Scorpio recently. Or we were, you know, engaging in things.
A
Y' all were ramming.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
Okay, but.
A
So you were ramming this highness. Scorpio.
B
Yeah, Rami Scorpio. Haina. And. But it's crazy that you just said those things, because she was. She. She's. She was in an astrology, and she was like, like, I'll be like, oh, like you. We started, like, making out on my couch and stuff, and I got a nice couch. And I'm like, yo, let me put a blanket down. She's like, ah, you're such a Virgo. And I was like, what? Cuz I want to put a blanket down and protect my couch. She's like, yeah, you have to, like,
A
you know, why you trying to protect your things?
B
Like, yeah, yeah, protect my things. I'm like, anyways. But then she would always be like, oh, we're never going to get along. You're too positive. She's like, come on, just be a hater with me. And, dude, she would say that. And I was like, damn, that's like a shirt right there. Like, you're too positive. Just be a hater with me. But that's such a Scorpio thing to
A
say now that you read that 100%, and I can't.
B
She's like, you're too positive to be a hater with me.
A
I thought that was such a positive person. So being around someone who's, like, constantly, like, hating on stuff, just underneath, I'm just like, God, you just complain all the time. Stop complaining.
B
But, dude, I used to talk on Shars. I'm like, it doesn't matter. Like, who cares? Like, you know, now I'm like, oh, it does, dude. It does.
A
It's a thing I can call it with people sometimes when. If it's, like, one of four signs, I can, like, call it and. But it has to be either the Two, I don't like where I'm like, that's cancer.
B
Wow.
A
Or someone. I do like a Virgo. If I get along with someone really well, I'm like, you're a Virgo. You're a Virgo.
B
But my homie, one time that the initial thing that got me into astrology was when I was saying it was all, you know, I was. Wasn't against it. I just was like, yeah, whatever. He was like. He asked me what time I was born, all that. And I got all that information. And then he sent me, like, a full four page breakdown of, like, where the stars were exactly when I was born. And here's your person. And it was like, to a T where I got chills up the back of my neck.
A
Yeah.
B
And I was born in the year the monkey and like, all that stuff. And it was just like, I was like, oh, what the. On me.
A
Isn't that crazy?
B
Ever since then, I've been, like, very open to it, you know, like, all right, yeah, maybe I do got to consider what sign you are if we're gonna, you know, do. Do. Yeah, yeah. Relationship or whatever. Yeah.
A
My son was born on February 17. So this year when he had his birthday, it was the same day as the Chinese New Year.
B
Oh, sick.
A
So. And I have a lot of Asian friends, so I was asking all of them if that meant anything. I'm like, does it mean anything? But my son's birthday just put a
B
blast out in your Asian group chat. Like, hey, y', all, what's up?
A
I literally did. And they were having a huge party, like a Chinese New Year party.
B
Oh, yeah. They get down.
A
Yeah. All this food. They had karaoke. They were playing card games. I mean, it was like going into this illegal gambling ring with food. It was amazing. I go every year, I'm like, I'm invited to this. And they were. I was like, it's his birth. It was his birthday that day. And so everyone's like. I'm like, do we rub his belly? Is he good luck? Like, do you. What do you do? How do we do shake him and his money come out. Like, how does this all work? They have all these red envelopes that they give out and people put money in them. And everyone was having Jack's pull for him. That's my son's name. They were all having him pull the cards for them. And then everyone that he would pull for people would have the more. The most amount of money in them. So he really did have, like. I was like, open it up. I Want to see how much money's in that envelope? And one girl, the first girl he pulled for had a 50. And out of a hundred, one person put a 50 in there. So he pulled the 50.
B
Whoa, Jack.

My favorite food?
A
Your favorite food?

A
Mexican.
B
Yeah, of course.
A
What kind of Mexican?
B
I mean, do you eat Chipotle? I do eat chipotle. Yeah. But that's its own thing. I don't. I don't like when Mexican homies are like, oh, you eat Taco Bell or you eat Chipotle. That's not real Mexican food. I know. It's not real Mexican food. Chipotle is Chipotle.
A
I didn't know that.
B
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's. I guess it's, you know, Mexican food, but it's not like, what is Mexican? When I go to Chipotle, I'm eating Chipotle in my head. I'm not like, oh, I'm eating Mexican food. I'm eating Chipotle.
A
Okay. What's Mexican food?
B
Same with Taco Bell. Well, Mexico, you go to the, you know, taqueria, the taquero, you get tacos, homie. You know tacos. I. I like tacos at cabeza, homie. Which is the head. You know what? That's my favorite meat is the cabeza, you know? Oh, it's like the head muscle part, because they do sessos too, which is like the brain.
A
And so you do tongue, too.
B
What's that?
A
Lingua?
B
Tacos and lingua are good, too. But I like that. The head more. I like the head more. Yeah, but. Yeah, so, yeah, so that's. But, you know, then there's more, like, sit down, like, with enchiladas and stuff. Like, my mom make some really good enchiladas, and then.
A
Is that Mexican food? Yeah, okay.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's just Chipotle. It's not Mexican food.

Some people would debate that with you. To me, Chipotle is chipotle.

Mexican food.

A
Oh, it's my new theme song. That's cool.
B
So that's cool.
A
So how'd you learn to do that?
B
You know, I was like, I was in elementary school and I got, I would get in trouble a lot for being like class clown and all that, if you can imagine. And then so I would have to, I got detention. Like I would have to sit on this brick wall during recess for like a couple weeks straight because I was catting off so much in class. But there was a Humpty Dumpty over there. Yeah, we had to sit on this like brick wall that was like, you know, it was low, but it was like that. You sit right there. You don't get to go kick it with the homies for recess. And there was another homie of mine, Justin Cabrera, and I'll never forget his name. And he was on the wall and he was just sitting there and he was beatboxing. Or he could do the thing where he could hum and do a beat at the same time. Like just. And I was like, what homie? How do you do that? So we were just sitting next to each other. We're forced to be right there. So he was like, here, just hum first and then do the beat separate. And then you just try to combine them. It'll take some time, but you do it. And then I just kept doing it from then I was like in fifth grade. So then in the shower and everything I like doing in the shower, it's a water splash. You know, you have your own. You have your own little party, homie, whenever, you know,
A
shower.
B
Yeah. So yeah, yeah, that's doing It. Ever since.
A
So you hum and then you. I guess I need a tune.
B
Try to do one where you're sucking in the. See? See, you could do that. The. The one where you're blowing out one. Zam.
A
Hold on. I'm wearing lip stuff.
B
Oh, and then you go. Oh, see, there you go. Yo. Yay,
A
My. Sounds like a shitty makeout session. I can't do it. Would I make it on the wall? Would I have been a cool wall person to be with?
B
Probably. Maybe.
A
No. Just say no. Probably not.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. I belonged on the monkey bars swinging.
B
We would have been like, yeah. Can you go to the monkey bars?
A
Yeah. Can you just go. Get the fuck away from us. You're not in enough trouble to. Do you like sports?
B
Yes.
A
What kind?
B
I like them all pretty much. But, you know, I love. I love baseball. Baseball's number one. Yeah. Well, soccer, because I'm Mexican, so we all know you love soccer, right?
A
Yeah. That's your fave, huh?
B
Because Mexico. Yeah.
A
But do you know the drama about baseball lately now what? So I'm gonna fuck this up. Every time I try to tell a story like this, I somewhat fuck it up. Cause I only read headlines and then like, a blip of the news. So there was some. Is it called a five in baseball? No. No one knows. Okay, so in baseball, there's, like. It happens every four years. There's a big competition, and all the best players in the world get together.
B
Yeah. The World Baseball Classic.
A
Is that what it is? It's every four years?
B
Yeah.
A
I don't know. I told you. We're gonna know pieces of this story, and then you're gonna fill in the blanks. So. Big, big thing. The coach for America goes on. He thought that America had advanced, but we hadn't advanced yet. So he was saying who the starters were gonna be, but he was speaking out of line because America hadn't advanced yet. So they played. It was either. I think Italy and Mexico were playing. And if Mexico would have beat Italy, then America wouldn't have advanced. But if Italy beat Mexico, then America did advance. And it was this huge deal because it was the coach's fault for kind of spilling all this information about. Yeah. And Italy beats Mexico in baseball. You're the one that likes baseball.
B
Yeah.
A
You don't know the story.
B
No, no, no, I do. I am aware of this. So you know that I knew that. I knew that the coach of the U. S, like, spoke out of line, like, ahead of something, and they.
A
You're repeating what I just said.
B
No, I know that he jinxed something, but I didn't know the whole details. I didn't know. I didn't know why it was or something like that, but I heard that he jinxed.
A
Yeah.
B
The thing.
A
Well, anyway, Mexico lost.
B
Fuck.
A
By the way, when I asked you if you like sports and you were like. Yeah, yeah, baseball.
B
Baseball, yeah. Yeah.
A
I thought I was about to like, really be barking up your tree.
B
Well, no, I mean, to be honest. I mean, I like watching World Baseball Classic ones, but that's not really like. It's kind of like it's not as important as the Major league season. You know what I'm saying?
A
It's. I thought it was. So I guess that's my problem. I thought that this was like a bigger deal.
B
They're trying to. I mean, it's been building up over the last. But it's kind of new, you know, the World Baseball Classic, it hasn't been around that long. I mean, in the big picture of things. But the, like, you know, the major league. Major league season, like the playoffs, the World Series, That's. That's the.
A
That's the big deal.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. Okay. Well, I don't know anything else about baseball. That was it. That was my big story that I knew about sports. I thought I was really. Are we into March Madness at all? Are we into basketball?
B
When it gets to, like, the. Yeah, the Elite Eight or the Final Four, I'm definitely getting in there.
A
Okay.
B
Yeah. Sweet 16, I started.
A
So you're, like, kind of into sports?
B
Yeah, well, you know, I think I'm into it than. More than, you know, more than whatever your average scene. I. I watch, I tune in. But like, usually playoffs and stuff like that. Yeah, but like, baseball. I'll go to any baseball.
A
Do you have a jersey? Do you own a jersey?
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a Fernando Venezuela jersey. I got a. I got a lot of Raiders jerseys.
A
Okay. I'm trying to decide if I feel like that's. That's a fan. That's someone you're invested in. Certain players. Yeah, right. Isn't that what, a jersey?
B
I mean, I go to games, you know. I follow. Yeah, yeah.
A
What is. What's. What's an interesting fact that you know about a sport that you can tell me. Come on.
B
That I know about a sport?
A
Yeah, any sport. Interesting fact.
B
There was a picture. I forget his name. You could probably look it up. That pitch for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he was party. He liked to party and he was on acid and he forgot what day it was, and they Called him and they were like, yo, you're starting today. The starting picture. There's a documentary on it. And he went and pitched. He went. Ended up pitching a no hitter. It wasn't a perfect game by any means. He walked a lot of people. He like, you know, but he didn't give up any hits. And he was.
A
Ellis.
B
Yep. There he is. Doc Ellis.
A
Wow.
B
He looks like he's on acid right there.
A
It does look like he's on acid.
B
Yeah. So, yeah, that's a pretty cool story.
A
That is a cool story. I like that story.
B
Yeah.
A
Okay, we can move on from sports. On your days off, if you had a girl that you were gonna go on a date with, would you rather go out somewhere or stay in?
B
I mean, well, if it's our first date, then obviously we got to go out somewhere. Am I gonna be, hey, come Netflix and chill? You know, Unless I'm just trying to ram. You know, But. But yeah, go out somewhere.
A
Where would you go?
B
Oh, God.
A
Are you fancy? Are you steakhouse or are you the taqueria? Are you gonna take this cholocita to a taqueria?
B
It. It depends because I've had. If it's a first date, I usually try to keep it chill, like meet up for lunch or coffee or something like that. Keep it a, you know, just a check of the vibe is right. But if I already kicked it with this per. Kicked it with this girl and had a cool conversation, and then I might lean into more like, yo, let's go somewhere nice, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
Like, usually my go to is like Italian, because usually people can find something for themselves, whatever, like, they're into. But yeah, I do love a nice steakhouse.
A
I do too.
B
But.
A
But then you get in the problem of what if this. What if you don't like this person? Or like, yeah, yeah.
B
So that, that. So I've gotten that advice from girlfriends of mine, like, yo, yo, don't go in too hard on the first date because. And then.
A
Because you're stuck with them.
B
I mean, I have. Especially when I was like, you know, whatever. When I first started making money and stuff, I, like, went overboard on everything. I would take girls on trips or like, you know, like, yo, let's go to Vegas for a couple nights and da, da, da. And then like within the first couple hours of the trip, I'm like, oh, I don't like this person.
A
Oh, no.
B
And then you're stuck with them, homie, for like the next two days. And I'm just like, oh. But then I'M like, you did this. You chose this. You did this to yourself. And then, like, I remember I took one girl on a trip and she was like. She was just, like, dirty, like, in the hotel. I had a nice hotel room at the Wynn.
A
Yeah.
B
And then.
A
Great hotel.
B
She would leave trash next to the trash can, like, on the floor, like, just. Why aren't you putting it in the truck?
A
Definitely not on the All Star right there. Yeah. She missed every shot.
B
Yeah. And then she was like, burping all. And like, it's fine, like one or two burp. Like, okay. I'm like, hey, that's cool that you're that comfortable in front of me already. But then you keep doing it, like, it's all good. And then like, one time she burped all loud and she was like this pretty, like, you know, petite girl. And I kind of look at her and she's like, what? Like, she started giving me attitude about being upset that she's burping all crazy in front of me.
A
Did she not.
B
What?
A
Did she not. Was she not self aware?
B
I guess not. Or she just, like, didn't give a. Like. I don't know. But it. I don't know. It was. I'm getting upset even thinking about that story. I'm just saying. Yeah. Because I was just like. To be stuck with somebody.
A
Like. Yeah.
B
But I'm like, I. That's why you don't invite people on fucking trips on the.
A
Unless you really know first day. Yeah. I used to. I used to. When I would date guys, they would ask me where I would want to go. And I had, like, a handful of favorite restaurants. And so more or less, I wanted to go eat the kind of food I wanted to go eat, like, at my favorite restaurants. And that really backfired because then I'd go on a date with someone at one of my favorite places. I would have a great meal, but if I didn't like them, they would know where I like to go.
B
Oh, interesting.
A
And I started ruining my plate because I'd run into them later at my favorite places. And I was like, man, that was really stupid. I shouldn't have taken them.
B
There she is, huh?
A
Yeah. They're like, oh, this is your favorite place, huh?
B
That's really. Yeah.
A
Like, that was.
B
Yeah. But it's also like, I don't. Because I could be indecisive sometimes, but I got better at that because I feel like a girl's like, I'll be. I'll be like, yo, I'll make the plans. You know, here's where I'm gonna go.
A
That's hard.
B
I'll always run it by her, though. Like, is this cool with you?
A
You know, I love when a guy makes.
B
Or I'll just be like, is there anything you don't eat? Or da, da, da.
A
There was a guy when I was dating. When I was dating, there was a guy that had come to town and wanted to take me on a date. And we were friends, like, new friends. And so I was like, also kind of showing him, like, around Austin. And I was like, yeah, let's go to this one place. The food is so good. It's like my favorite restaurant. So we go and the whole time, he must have been a Scorpio. He complained about the lighting. He was like, oh, my God, this is like hospital lighting. It's like fluorescent bulbs. And I'm like, I didn't even realize that it, like, the lighting was bad in here. And then we were eating something and he was like, can you taste this? Can you taste how bad this is? Or do you have Covid and, like. Because you lose your sense of smell or taste when you have like, Covid, dude. The whole time all he did was like, ruin the meal. And this guy was a celebrity, so he kind of felt like, I can be this. He can be that way. He was rude to the waiter. Yuck. So rude. I was just. I was so. I was like, this was the biggest mistake ever to bring you to, like, my favorite restaurant.
B
Yeah, yeah. I can't. I mean.
A
Oh, yeah, you can't do that.
B
Yeah. Or just people, like. And then when you're getting to know somebody and all they do is complain about, it's like, yeah, man. It's just like, yeah, yeah, I can't do it.
A
I'd rather someone just be like, I don't like you.
B
Yeah.
A
Don't waste my time. Just tell me you don't like me. If all you want to do is complain, it's terrible. What is your long term goal? What do you want in a relationship? Do you want to get married and have kids?
B
Yeah, I do.
A
How many kids do you.
B
So, you know, I would go back and forth with that. I used to. I'd be like, you know what? Maybe I'm meant to be, you know, just whatever.
A
You're not meant to be single.
B
Single. Or I'll get married when I'm like, you know, 65 or something. No. You know, at the retirement home or whatever.
A
No, but.
B
But no, no, no. Now I'm like, you have too big
A
of A personality and too much going on.
B
Yeah, no, I wanna. Yeah, I want to get married. I want to have a kid, you know? Yeah, at least one.
A
You have to have two.
B
I know. I don't. I kind of don't want to have an only child, but, like, I'm just.
A
I'm an only child. Yeah, it's coming from an only child. I feel like. I feel like, you know, I saw Chris Rock on an interview, and he was talking about how one kid is really, really hard because you have. You're the one that has to play with them. And, like, you get down in the sandbox and play with them, and you have to go, like, build the blocks and knock and let them knock them down and all this stuff. If you have two kids, then they. You become the usher and you're like, come over and then they can go play with each other. And it's apparently easier to have, too. Now I'm having two boys. Do you have a brother?
B
I have a sister. Oh, she's cool.
A
Do you remember your childhood?
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
I'm nervous about two boys. I don't. I feel like it's gonna be the WWE.
B
Wait, hold your son right now. One.
A
One.
B
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's gonna be WWE, homie.
A
They're gonna be 18 months apart.
B
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's gonna be. They're gonna have their battles for sure.
A
What do I do? Do I let him fight it out?
B
I have a godson, you know, my. My nephew, you know, and he just made it out of the tur. He just turned three last week. But, man, them terrible twos, boy. And then, you know, I have a goddaughter, my niece, Frankie. She's named after me. Oh, she's so adorable and cute and everything.
A
And that's a cute girl name, too. Not that it's not a cute boy name.
B
The difference. Differences between the boy and the girl. The boy and the girl. The boy was definitely more, you know, like, hey, man, I'm shit up right now, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
So there I. Yeah, there's just no way around it. They're gonna get after each other. But it's.
A
Do I let him fight it out or do I break it up?
B
I mean, it depends. If there's blood, then, yeah, you should probably break it up.
A
A part of me is, like, so savage, though, that I'm like, I want to see. May the best kid win.
B
Yeah, well, Abe, you got to let boys be boys, too, at the same time, you know? And you're in Texas, homie. Like, you Know, you got to let them get after it.
A
Yeah, I guess we'll see if they will make it in the UFC or not.
B
Yeah. Right. Well, having a brother will help with that.
A
Yeah, I'm starting to ask for. I'm. I'm big into gift giving. Like, I feel like gifts are my love language. Giving and receiving. So now receiving gifts, I'm shifting my wants to, like, a helmet and shoulder pads. I'm starting to get balls thrown at me.
B
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
So I want protection, and I feel like I just. Eventually I'm gonna need a plastic wall, like, to. Just a shield to walk around and. Did you ever. My son throws things.
B
Yeah, Mom, Charlie's my nephew. He throw. He hits me in the face. And it's hard not to, because I'm like, oh, he's 2. I can't just, like, throw him across the room right now or, you know, punch him back or something, but, like, it's hard to be like, you know, and my sister's like, no. Like, she's trying to, like, break our intergenerational trauma and, you know, all that. And, like, because we used to get our ass whooped. You know what I'm saying? And it was just like. She's like, no, no. No hitting and.
A
Oh, she's gentle.
B
Parenting is the timeouts, you know, and stuff. And it was so. It's crazy for me to see that, because I'm like, what? Like, at least. But anyway, so he hits me in the face. He throws.
A
Yeah, it's.
B
You know, that's what you're gonna probably need some. Yeah.
A
Protection. Football helmet. Okay, well, my dessert question. You said that you gave a girl flowers and some poetry. What is the most romantic thing you've ever done for a girl?
B
Oh, man.
A
Who?
B
I don't know. Probably. I mean, you know, I want to say a trip to Europe would probably be. I did that.
A
Did you know this girl?
B
Yeah, yeah, it was my lady. You know, but at the time.
A
Where'd you go in Europe?
B
You know, went to Paris and went to. Went to London. Yeah, it was cool. I mean, you know, it's hard not to. Any corner in Paris is going to be romantic, you know, that cities just looks like a movie set, you know, but. But I don't know. Just like, I'm trying to think of, like, a regular, like, where it's not. Oh, you went to Paris. You know, I don't know. I guess I had a dinner at my. At my place, like, prepared. Like, I had a homie of mine who's A chef make the food. It was a surprise, too.
A
Okay.
B
And I did the corny ass. Little, like, rose petals.
A
Yeah.
B
On the ground. I had the little candles lit, and then I had a hot bubble bath ready for her when she got there.
A
Wow.
B
Yeah. And so. Yeah. And it all, like, led to that. I had, like, three bouquets of flowers, this cool music playing. And she showed up, and I was like, yo, you go take a bath. Chill out. Have some time for yourself. And then we're gonna have dinner together here. And she was like, you know, was
A
it her birthday or anything?
B
Yeah, it was her birthday.
A
That's cool.
B
And so, wait, was it her birthday or anniversary? Might have been around. No, it was her birthday.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah. But. Yeah. And she went and took a bath, had time for herself, and then, you know, my homie prepared the. The food. By the time she got out the bath and he packed up, left, then she came out, and it was like a romantic dinner.
A
That's great.
B
Living room. Yeah.
A
How long ago was that?
B
Maybe like five years ago.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
That's pretty.
B
I wanted. I want to, like, be into somebody like that again, you know, and do that again. But. Yeah, it's hard dating.
A
Well, maybe someone will slide into your DMs soon.
B
Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the DMs. I get anxiety opening those.
A
Maybe someone will slide into a coffee shop soon.
B
Yeah.
A
And then you can approach them that way. Well, thank you for coming on my show.

No, thanks for having me.

First Date with Lauren Compton
Episode: The Most Romantic Fool w/ Frankie Quiñones
Date: April 7, 2026
Host: Lauren Compton
Guest: Frankie Quiñones
Studio: YMH Studios
Comedian Lauren Compton welcomes fellow comic and viral sensation Frankie Quiñones (creator of "Cholo Fit") for a hilarious and candid "first date." Together, they navigate the complexities of dating, their experiences with relationships, the quirks of meeting people in the modern age, red flags, and what true romance means. Along the way, the discussion is laced with humor, real talk about love and heartbreak, cultural references, and a playful bit of astrological compatibility.
“When I have a lady, I’m like, nah, nah. That’s who I’m ramming. That’s who I’m kicking it with, you know?”
—Frankie, (03:45)
“I don’t like to use comedy as a way to, like, ‘Hey, let’s hook up.’”
—Frankie, (06:22)
“I wrote her a poem and shit and brought her flowers…the next day. Romantic, I know, but it was thirsty, you know?”
—Frankie, (11:30)
“She would always be like, ‘Oh, we’re never going to get along. You’re too positive. Just be a hater with me.’ And dude, she would say that!”
—Frankie, recalling a Scorpio ex (22:09)
Favorite Food: Mexican, specifically tacos de cabeza (beef head), but enjoys Chipotle (“Chipotle is Chipotle, not Mexican food”)(25:33-26:56).
Hidden Talents: Frankie beatboxes, learned as a kid in detention, and demonstrates for Lauren (28:14-30:41).
“There was a pitcher...he liked to party and he was on acid...and ended up pitching a no-hitter.”
—Frankie on Doc Ellis (35:39-36:14)
Date Preferences: First dates should be chill (coffee or lunch) to check for vibes—only go fancier after getting to know the person. Cautions against expensive first dates that can go awkward (36:34-38:03).
Red flags: Shares a horror story about taking a girl on a Vegas trip and regretting it due to her rude, messy habits (38:03-39:07). Lauren relates with her own dating restaurant debacles.
“I had a homie of mine who’s a chef make the food. It was a surprise…did the corny ass little rose petals on the ground…had a bubble bath ready for her when she got there.”
—Frankie, (46:00-47:13)
