So, yeah, let's start out. Bachelorette number one, currently residing in the state of Minnesota, as we know.

She's 32 years old, 5'9". She's a nice-looking black lady, good-looking lady. She says she's a 32-year year old black female with an outgoing personality. I am currently experiencing a trying time in my life. You can say that again. You are in prison. That's trying. That's trying as fuck.

I've made some mistakes in my past that have caught up with me. Yeah, I would say we know. Fuck. Yeah, there's a picture of you in a prison uniform leaned up against a brick wall trying to look cute. That is exactly the definition of they caught up to you. They caught me. He says, but I am moving forward with a new outlook on life.

I'm looking for someone who can provide me with knowledge and growth. That sounds like a, I don't know, like a therapist and a professor, but not a fucking. You want them both in one? I guess so. A genuine person who has faith in a girl like me, willing to give me a second chance. Okay. It's the side he won't yet. Yeah, it's the side because I...

Shit, I don't have any chance at this moment. I welcome you to come as you are. Race and age don't matter. I will describe some things about myself and what I enjoy. That's not needed. You just say what you do. Here I will describe some things about myself and what I enjoy. That's not needed. You just say what you do. Here I go describing the things about myself.

I do enjoy that she's not picky. She's just like, anybody that will talk to me. Yeah, whatever. We'll figure it out from there. She says, I'm very spontaneous. Excitement excites me. Okay. That's her quote.

That's why she needs knowledge. She needs the smart one. And growth. Yeah. She says, I'm always down to try new things. I like to travel and I'm interested in all different cultures. I like some of the finer things in life, but I'm learning that sometimes it's the simple things in life that matter the most. I have experience in the fashion industry and I have intentions on receiving my master's degree in business management.

I'd like to open up my own boutique upon release. Well, that's a tall goal there. Aside from that, being one of my main goals, I'm also considering relocation possibilities. I need a fresh start and a new beginning. With that, I'll close and hopefully hear from you soon. As long as my PO allows it. As long as it's allowed by the state of Minnesota. And the title of her, the heading for her whole thing is, quote, Miss West Texas sitting in timeout awaiting a letter from you.

She's calling herself Miss West Texas over here. She sounds lovely. Maybe she was Miss West Texas. Does she remember that West Texas over here. She sounds lovely. Maybe she was Miss West Texas. Does she remember that West Texas sucks? I don't know how much of El Paso she's been through, but I don't know if that's something you want to brag about. Now, our next contestant here from the Paper Dolls, again, we're doing a Paper Dolls. This is excellent. Now, her, this lady here, she's 37. She's five foot eight. She's another tall girl here.

It's good stuff. She says, hers is very short and sweet. Quote, bisexual, adventurous jokester. Hell yeah. Which, you know what? My kind of girl. No one's upset with any of those three things. Good for you.

You are talking my language. Yeah. Keep going. Always laughing and smiling. Carefree, looking for a trusting long friendship beyond release uh looking for someone who is generous funny a gentleman slash gentle woman outgoing honest educated uh who and who wants something real between us and uh yes she can be contacted through the mail everybody wants smart ones so they want a smart one i feel like that

means that they probably have a job and money and can send them fucking money and their shit. Also, maybe you're a lawyer. Yeah, maybe. And can help. Maybe someone who's been to law school. I don't know. We'll see.

Someone like that, I'm thinking, you know. I don't want to reach too far. Well, yeah. Educated, I think, is kind of code for good job, can help me pay for lawyers and put money in my fucking account so i can get honey buns at the commissary so yeah uh he uh here we go here now this next one she is also from minnesota she's 36 years old another five foot nine wow they're all very tall women in prison it's very common uh now she says now hers is she's taking a different approach she's not

just like here i am she's like now i know you're thinking this, now hers is she's taking a different approach. She's not just like, here I am. She's like, now I know you're thinking this, but, you know. She's going to do some psychology on you here. She says, quote, so I know that the majority of women say, quote, I'm not like all the others. When in reality, they're exactly like all the others. Yeah. That's, yeah. Women like to say that all the time.

They do. I'm not like other girls. I'm different. No, you're not. We're just like other time they're not i'm not like other girls i'm different no you're not you're not no and we're just like guys always say i'm not like other guys i'm so nice no you're still tickled your dick we're all the same so yeah this is not just not a sex thing so she says i on the other hand and she's using correct punctuation here which i'm impressed with right away i on the other hand love cars tattoos sports motorcycles loud rock music video games mma etc etc uh now she sounds like on family guy when they were burning joan of arc and they were saying that she was like she was like i'm not like

all the other chicks i love strip clubs man they're fun i'll do that i just want to go eat some steak man other chicks are lame they don't want to eat steak chicks. I love strip clubs, man. They're fun. I'll do that. I just want to go eat some steak, man. Other chicks are lame. They don't want to eat steak, but I love steak. Let's go play some Call of Duty, man. This is fucking, this sucks because I'm a cool chick. And they're like, because guys just love me. And they're like, burn her. And they're setting her on fire.

A tip, guys hate that. They hate it when you're like, I'm a cool chick. I like everything guys like. You're like, just be yourself, please. That's what we like. How about you be a girl and I'll go hang with my bros and do that stuff. And then we can do the fun stuff that couples do together or do this shit together but just don't be like i'm cool because i like that like just be like you're you and then we meet and then we like the same shit and then we do it together it's like sarah

likes all the same shit as me but she didn't come up to me like dude i like this because i'm a cool chick and like i'm not like all the other lame girls. She was just like, you like that? I like that, too. Cool. Then we talk about it. You know, like people. Right. Like human beings.

Yeah. She says, quote, not only that, I'm intelligent, good looking, funny, down to earth, and one of the coolest, most laid back person you'll ever meet. Okay. Well, her punctuation's good. So much for smart. But her grammar is not terrific but yeah she is the intelligent good-looking funny down to earth and one of the coolest and most laid-back person you'll ever meet okay so there's that uh so i

think i can honestly say i'm not like most women i'm the best of both worlds. Gotta have my makeup, nail polish, and hair straightener, though. My passion is art, music. I mainly design tattoos and flash, but I can draw almost anything. I'm a total rocker chick with my favorite bands being Tool, Slipknot, Pantera, Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Mudvayne, Avenged Sevenfold, A Perfect Circle. But I listen to everything okay so she likes hardcore she's got good music taste those are those are good bands but they're very popular and mainstream and how about you find something that not everybody knows about but she's i like i like mma she's too much tattoos she's heavy give me the control you've been playing too long she's far too heavy she's just trying too hard maybe she's into that shit maybe she's into that maybe she's all into that i'm sorry but that's that's our automatic

and this is whatever it's automatic a guy's automatic reaction is when you hear that it's like stop trying too hard right it would be like if a guy came up to you and we're like talking about how sensitive they were and how much they cared about women's feelings and equality at first you'd be like oh that's cool but then after the second time they're saying it you're like all right shut the fuck up stop being a tool just be yourself and if we hang out i'm glad i'm glad you're into that shit awesome good for you man that's the that's the same thing that we have going on here then she says she's got more to say oh boy oh boy uh quote i have the uncanny ability to memorize song lyrics and movie quotes uncanny no one memorizes song lyrics and movie quotes

you're the worst she's the most you're no fun i am not picking bachelorette number three she's the most unoriginal fuck she's annoying already uh yeah i can't think of anything of myself so i'm just gonna throw in a quote from a movie yes some favorite movies are fight club boondock states the salt and sea talladega nights reservoir dogs devil's rejects clerks 1 and 2. You know when she went to prison, it sounds like, because she hasn't seen movies since 2002. My son and

family are my world. I couldn't do this without them. My favorite thing in the world is to go snowboarding. Just me, my iPod, and some fresh powder. See, she's still talking about iPods. She's been locked up for a while. My ideal guy would be tall intelligent a great sense of humor tons of ink and can stick around a while uh take the chance

you won't be sorry okay okay well whatever wow i can't stick around because you talk too goddamn much i'm exhausted yeah from that from Imagine. Yeah. I am exhausted from that person. I'm sweating. I can't. Yeah. I'm literally. When I was done, I sat back in my chair and had to pull my mic toward me because I was like, I can't even fucking sit up anymore.

Imagine her like in real life. No. Holy shit. I hope she didn't testify. So, Jesus. So, out of one, two, or three. Yeah. Oh, it's a slam dunk.

Who you got? Number two. You got number two? By far. I'm going number one. I'm going Miss West Texas, I think. Yeah, number two seems like she might be a little out there for me. I like that.

Yeah, you like that. I'm thinking number one seems like, I don't know, something about her seems like she's cool with me. And I'm not even trying to rock a threesome with the bisexual girl. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. Because I'll date a bisexual girl by the way jimmy hasn't there's no pictures involved no we're just going on yeah we're going

on just saying just based on we don't care about looks this isn't real a girl that's bisexual she's in a straight relationship she's still bisexual you know what i mean but yeah she's you don't have to go outside the relationship anymore but uh the point is, I just dig an open-minded, smart girl. Yeah, that's it. I don't know how smart she was. She only had two. Looking for someone who's generous, funny, gentleman, woman, outgoing, honest, educated. I like her.

Something real between us. Yeah, she's looking for something real, man. She's something real. I dig that. Yeah, well, so is Miss West Texas. And she's fucking just short, precise, and to the point. This is me yeah who the hell are you that's that's true that's that's true uh no you're right you're

I'm currently serving a 151 month sentence for a methamphetamine conspiracy.

His release date is June 28th, 2021. So he's coming to the end of this. He's been through a lot. In my past, I have made mistakes. However, the past is the past and my future is bright. At this time, my release date is 6-28-21. However, I will be released in late 2020

to a halfway house. So he's got that. I'm looking forward to meeting my special someone. And if this is you right today, hope to hear from you soon. Rick smiley face. Rick is a charming son of a bitch. Rick's a charm. He's trying to try.

He likes flower and rock art here. And he's trying to get out. He's letting you know. Look, I get it. It's very soon. We start now. By the time I get out, we could be consummating this. We could be fucking.

Yeah. Why? Then by the halfway house, I could. That's what I could be doing. Half the time i get out we could be consummating this shit we could be fucking yeah by then by the halfway house i could that's what i could be doing half the time is banging you and then the other half sleeping in this place here comes this other guy here uh his name is edward b goes by ross um he looks like a dick yeah uh this guy here uh he is born uh in in september of 78 he is seeking quote women comma, women, comma, legal help. Either one of those. Chicks or someone who can help you with my case.

Or both. He lists his race as European-American, which means he's a fucking Nazi. That's what that means. He's a member. He doesn't even put Caucasian, just European-American. He's got H's and H's and lightning bolts. Fuck yeah. Oh my God. There's a picture, Chief. Look at that motherfucker. european american which he has h's and yeah and and lightning bolts fuck yeah oh my god there's

a picture chief look at that motherfucker yeah boy oh boy yeah it's the n-word oh for sure in his picture where he's trying to get women yeah and legal help right he looks like he's threatening someone in this picture he looks like you motherfucker you better help me or i'll kill you that's what he looks like. And he is convicted of kidnapping. So not even a crime where he's convicted of a scary crime, too. Right. Kidnapping. And his release date, though, March 19, 2020.

Right around the corner. Right. So we're going to avoid Minnesota in March of 2020, probably, because after this, he will want to murder both of us here. Now, this is his quote here. This guy, good God, he's an asshole. Okay, let's get going here, shall we? Yes.

She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go for it. This is a perfume commercial. She started out with an 80s pantyhose commercial. The European guy. This is European American. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go for it she likes her man to be a man but still but still able to show his emotions balance is important to her she works hard enough but the job doesn't consume all of her energy this is

literally an 80s pantyhose commercial or like one of those 18 hour bras they used to fucking advertise runs got you down runs got you down now you can run you show some chick running in her heels right trying to get back to work on time at lunch no runs and she's like grabbing her cap trying to hide it because it's an ugly run but the other chicks just running free because she's wearing legs that came in that little egg thing that your mom bought right then your mom washes them and hangs them over the shower curtain and it's disgusting i remember hating that if my mom needed that you have to go and i'm getting pantyhose and they'd be in those egg things and she's picking them up i'm like just pick one the fuck out let's go i'm like seven years old all i want is they're all just tan stop it jesus christ man yeah they're all tan this one

is taupe and this one is nude they're the same fucking thing mom mom. Jesus. Okay. So doesn't consume all her energy. She enjoys the nice things in life, but is also spiritual and doesn't get caught up in a quest for material goods. She wants a man in her life, but doesn't need one. She knows that her and her man will be worth more together than apart. She knows the simple things in life can also be spontaneous. She likes to travel to far off places, relax on sandy beaches under the hot sun then cool off on the sea but she also likes the hustle and bustle of the busy city calvin klein for ladies right it's like she also

likes to knife people of other races yeah she also likes to fucking yeah she also likes to attack a synagogue on a weekend she also likes a nice saturday synagogue bombing you know that goes jesus fuck god do i hate him this guy that right there's another paragraph but that part right there is just the biggest asshole commercial voiceover i feel like he heard that in a commercial and just was writing it down. Hold on, pause that. I'm going to keep... Fucking idiot.

This contrast and balance are part of her character. This guy's a dick. She is centered and content. This guy's a dick. This guy's a dick. But being with people she cares about is important to her. She's kind and considerate and would like

to have i would like to be her naturally caring self with people who have earned her trust like a convicted kidnapper who's also a white supremacist and currently incarcerated you know who else i earned their trust was the fucking probably person that i kid unless it was by force which is worse jesus christ oh my god she wants a man who understands her uh one she doesn't need to tell what she wants but who just knows when she wants a beating so that's what he'll give her somewhere there's a kidnap victim that's heard this whole thing they've heard this spiel and they're like dude oh my god flashback he's like i'm practicing i know you don't matter because i kidnapped you but i'm fucking practicing for someone who i'm going to allow it to be voluntary oh jesus uh yeah uh a man who can be a man who

can be the closest person to her to help her make her decisions and always be there and offer her strength when she needs it she doesn't expect to meet him right away, but she'll know when she does. There's a man that has no confidence in women at all. No. No. To help her make decisions? Help her make decisions. She'll be all right, dickhead.

Jesus Christ. There's a P.S. on this. No. P.S. Ladies, be careful. I'm trouble. Smiley face. You're a convicted fucking kidnapper.

You don't get to put a smiley face. I'm trouble as in your mother would never let me. You come near me because I'm a convicted kidnapper who's also a white supremacist and writes creepy posts for chicks. So, Bachelor. Okay, let's read. Jimmy. Yeah, you have to be a gay man for me right now real quickly one two or three first one is probably the nicest guy he's probably a sweetheart the

second one is working really hard and i like that i like that third one can fucking get the electric chair for all i care he will be back in prison in a month certainly will absolutely he will get out have no ride anywhere, steal a car and go right the fuck back while he's stealing the car, though. He'll be calling the driver the N word

while he fucking pulls him out of it. It'll be a race motivated carjacking for Christ's sake. This guy's a fucking asshole. But I think number one is the most deserving

of affection from anybody. I feel I feel the same way. You know what? Because he's so nice. I feel like number one would be genuine and would be thankful yeah for for your companionship i'll bet you he was selling weed or coke there's no way that dude was selling that he might have been selling coke or some heroin or some shit but i mean fuck he's slinging man the other guy had a meth conspiracy which

probably meant a fucking lab which probably meant he's probably smart anyway. He's probably a decent businessman. But this guy up here, I feel like he's just a guy who was bad circumstances. Bachelor number one. He got taken in at a bad time. And he's a hard worker. You just want somebody to appreciate him. Best of luck, Richard. I think if you got him a job somewhere, I don't think he would have any problem.

I think he would be fine. I think he'd be the guy that'd be like, he was in prison? Really? That's how I feel like that. So Richard, you are the winner. So Richard and our bachelorette number two should go out on a date now. I feel like that would be beautiful and everything will be fine. So we have played the prisoner dating game.
