Date My Abuelita, First!

Welcome to Date My Vico, First! Today, Vico is grabbing the episode by the balls and the ovaries! And Abuelita is getting a surprise. Is it a steaming hot plate of veggie lomo saltado, a day of peace and quiet…or is it three handsome men?  We couldn’t end this season without giving Abuelita a taste of her own medicine. On this episode, Vico sorts through three eligible bachelors as they each try for a tryst with our beloved Abuelita. The contestants prove they don’t have two left feet by saying their smoothest pick up lines in honor of the most beautiful girl on the dance floor. Vico has some salacious cafecitos con Vico and listens to the contestant’s best and worst dating advice— telenovela style of course. We hear Liliana’s outrageous commentary along the way, and you already know she doesn’t hold back. Will one of these contestants emerge as a potential husband number six? Or will Vico have to come back for another round of Date My Vico, First!   Music Credit: Nargo - "Rhythm of Samba" via Jamendo.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we are going on a ride… a scooter ride, of course. We meet our main dater, loveable Sonia, who runs with a pack of free-wheelin’ lesbians every Sunday, taking over the streets on their scooters and calling themselves the lesbian little rascals. She has that “old school spirit” – opening doors, paying for dates – that Abuelita Liliana can appreciate, and she considers herself a gentlewoman.  Sonia is defying lesbian stereotypes – she wants to take things slow (no U-hauls here!) and is honing her ability to notice red flags as they pop up.  We meet three contestants, a heartthrob jewelry maker, a Long Beach Baby who likes to be wined and dined, and a well traveled physician looking for companionship. The contestants play a game of “Ride or Die” and “Chivalry isn’t Dead” in honor of our gentlewoman main dater. Will Abuelita Liliana find someone who can go slow with Sonia?    Music Credit: Nargo - "Rhythm of Samba" via Jamendo.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
