Show transcript
00:00
We are here with Matt Paris and Joel de Leon who just
00:03
dropped their song Diamante and we're going to chat about how we
00:07
can find our diamond because girl,
00:10
it's rough out here.
00:12
It is rough. So,
00:15
hey, guys, can you tell me about your newest single
00:18
Diamante? Yeah,
00:20
Diamante basically is a song that I,
00:24
I feel like it's really refreshing to everything that's going on in
00:27
the Latin world right now for this specific case.
00:31
you know, Diosa a tempo,
00:34
you know, de La Nele Studio.
00:38
I, I was producing the song and I kind of
00:40
like I, I heard him in my,
00:42
in my, in my mind d here.
00:44
OK, Arpiza from there.
00:46
He went on Juntos IP de Man.
00:56
So we wanted to ask you guys some questions on like dating
01:00
advice. Like, do you guys think it's OK for a
01:04
girl to shoot her shot first or like,
01:07
how do you guys see that?
01:08
Like if a girl like reaches out to you,
01:10
do you see that as weird or what do you think?
01:13
No, definitely not.
01:14
No, I think that I think that's cool.
01:16
If anything I feel like it's like breaking the stigma,
01:20
you know, of how it's typically done.
01:22
So, I think it's pretty cool.
01:23
It's actually pretty attractive to be honest.
01:25
So, I don't think,
01:26
I think that's weird if anything,
01:30
pretty attractive.
01:32
Yeah, I agree.
01:32
I agree with, I agree 100%.
01:34
I mean, we're not magicians or at least not all of
01:37
us. You know,
01:38
if you, if you feel some type of way that make
01:40
it known, you know what I'm saying?
01:41
That's true. That's true.
01:43
So you guys don't see it like because people say,
01:45
oh well, men like,
01:46
you know, a woman like that,
01:48
he has to chase like don't,
01:49
don't be so available or don't be so direct.
01:52
So you guys feel the opposite,
01:54
right? You like straightforward.
01:57
I don't know, I just feel like this generation has gotten
01:59
used to like that like that toxic route of relationships of oh
02:03
I want to get what I can't get,
02:05
you know what I don't feel that's too easy.
02:07
But nah, I don't think,
02:09
I mean, not me,
02:10
at least, I mean,
02:11
it's nice to have a little chase sometimes,
02:12
you know, but not to the point where it's like I
02:15
have to always chase you all the time in order for me
02:17
to feel like, oh I really want you,
02:19
you know, so I have permission to slide in guys D
02:22
MS first. Is that what I'm hearing?
02:25
100% girl? Go do your thing.
02:28
Shoot your shot girl because I will,
02:31
I got a few in mind.
02:34
So. Ok, tell me what are green and red flags
02:38
on a dating app profile because I feel like I have a
02:40
few but I want to hear what you guys think.
02:43
I don't know, I never thought I never really thought about
02:45
this. But if I see like pictures of like some,
02:49
you know, like a girl with like animals or dogs or
02:55
you know, anything has to do with,
02:56
with animals. I think that's definitely a green flag because for
02:59
me, like, I love animals,
03:00
I, I'm always gonna wanna have animals around me at least
03:03
you know,
03:04
when, when I,
03:05
when I end up having a wife or a girlfriend.
03:07
So that's definitely a green flag because some,
03:10
some people just don't like animals.
03:11
But you know, that has to be 100% thing for me
03:14
I don't know.
03:14
That's the first thing I thought out of the top of my
03:16
head. No, I always look for furry friends.
03:18
Like if they're good with animals,
03:20
then they can show me some love or the familia to their
03:23
family a lot to it.
03:24
Very important because orientated.
03:28
Yeah, because if they're,
03:29
they're strapping too much.
03:30
It's a red flag girl.
03:33
Too much facts. So tell me what makes someone,
03:38
girlfriend, material versus situationship,
03:44
girlfriend, material versus situation.
03:47
I feel like every situation is different.
03:51
Like it also depends on what you're seeking at the moment,
03:53
you know, because you might have an emotional bond with somebody
03:56
but maybe you're not prepared to have a,
04:00
a fully committed relationship.
04:01
You know, I'm a musician and I am a Gemini.
04:05
So I'm really emotional.
04:06
So when I love,
04:07
I love super hard,
04:09
like I'm super romantic and everything.
04:11
So I've learned over the years that I have to be mindful
04:14
because I give away my heart sometimes too quick.
04:16
You know, I get that for me.
04:19
If this person is my best friend,
04:22
I feel like that's definitely like,
04:25
like girlfriend material,
04:26
you know, if,
04:26
if they can be a friend before or even after,
04:30
you know,
04:30
getting to meet someone,
04:31
I think that's very,
04:33
you know,
04:34
it's, it's nice to be able to feel like you can
04:36
also talk to the person instead of just having like that physical
04:39
attraction. Yeah, I love that.
04:40
So, really appreciate like that natural friendship connection first.
04:45
I, I agree.
04:46
I think that's crucial in a healthy and sustainable relationship.
04:50
Exactly. Yeah. Well,
04:52
