eat too much, but I thought it was okay, would
just be like a nice, you know, experience.

I did like the best I could, And I felt
like I was nice to him. We were I was

not too long ago, and she went back on a
first date after that with Marco and she's wondering what
could have gone wrong. They went to a very nice,
expensive restaurant. She doesn't think that she was being fake
or anything like that. She said she was being real.
So what happened? Was it not a good time? We're
(03:00):

Wait wait wait, so so you're telling wait, so you're
telling you that you are not the kind of girl
that I've interested. That wasn't clear enough, Like I said,
I don't want to be with you, and you assume
that that was ghosting I mean, why would I answer
your constant calls and texts after I clearly told you
that I did not want to see you again?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, okay, first of all, you didn't give me an
actual answer, not one that actually made senser. I was satisfied,
but I asked you why and you didn't even respond,
And I feel like I deserve a.
Speaker 5 (04:29):

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
