hairs you have on his back and popping pimples, et cetera,
(01:09):

Speaker 6 (01:25):
A lot of shame in my game.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
For you, Mike.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I can ask whatever whatever, and infinitely when I put
it at the age, just to turn it down a
little bit. We okay, okay, okay, okay, I got it.
So obviously the obvious question, how did you guys meet man? Yeah,
on the first day of school orientation.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Waste time.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
He does not waste time.
Speaker 8 (01:50):
I mean, look, look, look it wasn't It wasn't a
relationship at that point. It was three months later when
we actually, like pretty much three months later when we
actually start being together.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Oh so was it like talking nothing?
Speaker 8 (02:06):
Yeah, it was like I met her like the first
day of school. I met her, and then like I
was just without my homie. So it's just like, you know,
like I'll see her again, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Like I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Sing he was stalking. He's not saying it about that.
What's stalking.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
He was talking my Instagram And then I was surprised
because you sent me a snapcheed message like two months later.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
I was like, how did he get my snapcher But yeah, he.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
Was Yeah I did that, But it was it was
more planned and she makes it seem like you feel me.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It was more like, you know, I have to understand
the girl before I went to the girl.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, I definitely understand. I mean you're just going there. Yeah,
I don't have.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
An understanding of where you're going.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I understand that.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I know.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
I know.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
It was being safe, it was.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Being understand you know, make me exciting. So so how
long did it take you to make your first three
months after the three months or.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
I'd say more or less like a month for me
to actually like, you know, understand her and want to
take my shot, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
All right, So how long was the first kiss?
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Too month? No, he said too much.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
It's actually two months, so two months after like like
two weeks after we actually started, you know.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
Talking, So maybe like we started on October twenty eight
so October twenty twenty eighteen, and we've got the time
and place the day you know, you have to be
on that they don't like, you don't know, far my
fellas out there, Please know your it's very important to them.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
You know, we don't care I missed that what you said?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, you know man, that we're good, all right. So
in that period where you guys were talking. Were you
allowed to see you? Could you see other people?
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (04:00):
When we were exclusive, like when we actually said that,
like okay we were talking.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
We were not allowed to We're not allowed.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
But there was a period where you know, you have
to date, you have to make sure that you really
want that person.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So it was more or less on my side, you know.
Speaker 8 (04:15):
I you know, college you come with a whole different
mind frame from when you were younger, so you see
a lot of different people.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You know, you want to explore, you want to do
different things.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
But after a while, you kind of you know, mature
after that first semester and you really take in what
you're thinking.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
You know, that makes sense. So what what was like
the turning point?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Was it like one particular thing that manage was like, yeah,
this is mine I wanted?
Speaker 8 (04:39):
Yeah it was it was for some reason, I just
saw her all over campus, like everywhere I walked, Like
when I would go to the Caps, she was there.
In the library, she was there, and you know, like
I'm a very friendly person, so naturally I was going
to flirt anyway.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Oh, so let's actually talk about that the friendly but
Natalie with a friendly thought, does that what is different
day it bothers you or you guys are on the.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Bat, you mean now or then? Because then.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Then it did bother me because I remember there's a
time I had to tell him that we needed to
stop talking because because I saw him in a car
sitting with two girls and he posted on a snapchat.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
To no, she's exaggerating.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
It is not how she explains it, like she makes
me sound like the worst promise.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Is not how sounds.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
All right, let him fish really, we'll give We'll give
that another ten seconds just to chin.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
But yeah, no, it did bother me, and then we
we had to stop talking.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
But that was my turning point.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
When we stopped talking and it bothered me, That's when
I was like, Okay, I think this is the person,
because why is.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
It bothering me so much that we're not talking anymore?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I might when you say it is exaggerating, let's hear
you said of the story, well these two girls was
where you play in the field or what you just
I was.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
I was just simply you know, like I had friends
coming into college, you know, like we had a group
check before we got to college.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So like those were my first people knowing.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
After a while I was with them a little bit,
and you know, like I'm a I think of myself
as a very good looking man, you know, so like
of course every every girl that I Yeah, but nah,
it was it was nothing major.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It was just actually understood.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
After she tasted me, she really went off radar, you know,
like she made a whole deal. And then after I
explained that, she was like, you know.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Are you still friends these females?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Nahka, are you an athlete?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
This for you? Are you allowed? Is it allowed to
have female friends?
Speaker 7 (06:51):
It's it's something that's understood between the both of us
that we don't need those kind of friends that I
don't need the me.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You don't have any female you. You don't have any
guy friends. There's anything more things and if you do.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Not like you cannot talk to people if you see them,
but not on no, like, buddy, buddy, we know.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
Where to draw the line, you know, like there's a
certain limit to things, as there always should be.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
So also you've got just sit to them already. I
like that.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I like that you gotta control. So if there's anything
you would change, Mike about that, there's anything you would
say you would change about that, just like based on
how you guys have been over the time, and Natalie,
you may answer thecation right off this and as he's
done as well.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
I would say I wish she had talked to me
sooner do anything that made the difference.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, it would have could have had more memories.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Hey, okay, believe it wouldn't go to memories on this.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Left you.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
What I would change about him?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yeah, like from how you guys started and et cetera.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
No, nothing, I feel like it flowed as natural as
it should have and it was very organic.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
So yeah, really nothing. I just like it the way
it was.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Okay, So like this person's directive to obviously, you guys
are not say in the United States, United States is
the big place. A lot of fine, beautiful people out there,
is they do you sometimes feel treasure? Like do you
sometimes feel like you know, he's like, no, I got
this would not least you like you know, like sometimes
(08:30):
you feel not I don't want to use the word
term threatens, but that's that that implies in security. But
do you sometimes feel some type of way about the
people around or you.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Just nobody's competition and he.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
No, he has nobody's competition, not by.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
I don't know, just putting it in a secure place
just you know, crosses everything.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Out and I like that. You guys are so cute.
So was it when you found out that you are
from Zimbabwe?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Did that?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
It was there like an additional was that points?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Did that?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Like?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Like was it do you have a curiosity or it
was just more for.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
It was so much in one because like for me
as an American boy, you know, like I've met girls
from various states, Like I know people from literally every state.
So for me to actually meet someone from Africa, you
know here, it's not common to just go to Africa,
you know, right, So it was kind of intriguing, like
(09:34):
it it clicked, like that's an unforgettable thing, you feel me?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
So you can't the difference between the American girls and
this involvement.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Goals most definitely.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Just just touching it on that because I know for
a fact above them girls definitely want to know this.
What are like, name three things that you say stand
out that set apart more Natalie from the regular make.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
I would say attitude for sure, probably the way that
they carry themselves in conversation also, and the last thing
would probably just be get canceled.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I know.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Of cancing people on Twitter.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
I'm not sure you know, I would say, just you know,
like being able to be like here, It's not as
easy to have a person as a friend in your relationship,
right because we we separate friends from relationships, but also
we call out a lot of friendly things in our relationships.
And Zimbabweans y'all have a great way of separating the
(10:37):
two and understanding your person from your relationship and your
person in a friendship while having a relationship within a friendship.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Not as as someone from Zimbabo mentley I am said, Bro,
I'm here.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
All these things for the six Yeah, I want you.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Obviously it's not the regular that people marry.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Wow, look at me just doing it ahead.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Anyway people get involved with with with foreign boys, especially
American boys, a lot Mbob goes is the tent like
fall back.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
So what made you what gravitate towards?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Of course, I'd.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Had bad experiences from back home and coming here was
like just a new chapter, just a big you know,
new beginnings. And yeah, of course he was he he
was different from Zimbabwan boys, but also different from the
rest of the American boys.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Different let's say three things that made him different.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Okay, from from what because I did say.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Like this from like the Zimbabwan boys. They start two
things in and boys. Two things from American boys as quickly.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Okay, so two things from Zimbabwan boys. Just the honesty,
you know, just the transparency. It's that's one thing I
really valued the most. No, it's put on the table
from the.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Jump boys are honest for my viewers, listen, she had
a few bad experiences.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
As a matter of fact.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
When we can smell Cap, I personally have allergic I'm
just saying.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
But and then.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
His I can say, his appreciation of me, you know,
maybe just Moban boys.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
I'm just the usual okay, and but like to him,
it's like he belgues me.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
So I think.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
That's two differences from like American both from the general
American boys.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
And you know, I really I cannot put a pin
on that one. It's just he's just different. And now
when like you just say, I could just feel the difference.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
All right, I'm just gonna say. You know, when you
stand out, you stand out all the way.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
You know this guy, you know, we should we should
encourage this.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
We need more guys, well we actually have more confidence,
solves and et cetera.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Well, most definitely we appreciate we actually appreciate that. And
then look at it actually got to I mean, Natalie,
you got a good one. We don't do that, I know.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
So you guys have a YouTube channel, yes, or Natlie
has a YouTube channel.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
And then you featured a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, so much. I not.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I saw one of my One of the videos that
stands out to you want to look at it is
the one when you went to small and there was
like a there was like a part in the video
where you say the first time on a plane? Was
that the first time you had been on a plane,
or that was the first time you had left the
continent the.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Conceltate, that's the first time.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
I actually I have traveled to California places like that
for family insteade of place, but that was my first
time leaving the States.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Well, that was the first time leaving the states. All right,
So how was oh how did you like it? That
was the cultural change, etcetera. Like a twenty second summary.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Okay, I can go on forever.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
So I'm just gonna say, like Zimbabwe was just a
different For me, it was a different mindset, Like people
made me feel happy, right, because like here you will
see people with everything in the world and they're never happy.
But in Zimbabwe, I saw people with everything and they
were happy. People with nothing and they were happy. And
it was just like it made me appreciate the things
(14:15):
that I had in life, because if people can appreciate
those things without having anything, you know, it just makes
you feel like wow, like this place is and the
scener is so beautiful and I love the food.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Nice people. Were you nervous, Natalie? Were you nervous to
take him back home?
Speaker 9 (14:32):
I'll be on American I was very nice?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
What what? What were the things you're worried about? What
then made? What?
Speaker 4 (14:46):
What did assure you? What made what?
Speaker 7 (14:50):
I wasn't nervous about how he was going to present
himself because I mean we hadn't been together for that long,
it was just seven months, but I knew him very well,
so I knew he was going to.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Present himself well.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
But then I was just worried, like my mom being
very picky, but at the same time she's very welcoming
of gifts. But at the same time, you know, like
I was just nervous, you know, just like anybody would have.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
And then I also have like.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
The family, like grandparents, you know, very traditional, so of
course I.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Was worried about the grandparents received you like, I just
did you enjoyed the They were lovely.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
They they welcomed me with open arms, like I felt
at home. I really felt at home. So I can
say like I probably had the rarest experience that any
person would have traveling to a different time.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
No, for real different experience. What was what made it different?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
I just wanted to say, don't take it very literally
and like, okay, let me just take my American boy home.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
You know, people are different, and this was a very
weird experience. My mom was very strict, but my mom
press him like you know, that's her son.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
So yeah, that's very sweet. A shout out mine athlete,
my not ke we. I don't know what your action
was about. We're gonna go into a few pop up
questions that I got from my Instagram and et cetera.
They just quick yes or no questions. Number one, have
you guys got in at your clients?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Hoo? The scale was sick.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
That is great, Okay, who keep the film? We beat
the beat.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
The film kind of insinuates, you know, just looking around.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Another one was, do you guys watch explicit video skill?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
No, no, And then you know what.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I'm just gonna stop here because they keep getting wild
and wilder and wilder at the minute.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
But I do have a question that I want to ask.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
With all the challenges that are dropping on Instagram, the past,
the challenge, the the cry baby, they except first of all, Natalie.
When you hear him spuing on his Instagram, then you, oh,
my big what's your first reaction? I don't here, you
don't care, and you don't feel something.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
I don't hear anything like that.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Oh his Instagram he basically scrolls through like sport.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
I've never really heard anything.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
I'm not being on social media like I got bigger
through her, but I'm not a big social media person.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Not impossible to find your account like wow.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Name, But I understand.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
And so when you do so, you don't feel any
kind of preasure because it's not on social media obviously, but.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
You do see them.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
And when you do see them, do you feel like
you like Natalie should be taking part with you or
that that's really something you guys don't even care about you.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
I just kind of scroll through, like you know, like
if I say, it's just like, it is what it is.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
It's a video, you know, like you one one of
the three you mentioned.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, So it was just like, you know, it
is what it is. Like I'm not an insecure person.
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I like your dynamic. I really do, I really do.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I mean the streets obviously you have been a while,
and so to see a young couple, for those young
romantics out there, you see here people that you guys
have want together three years showing one went on three years, Wow,
went on three years before twenty two us. That's that's
that's nineties. That's eighty my longest by four, your longest
(18:22):
by far, Netalie, what what has this been?
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Your longest?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Do you it's about to be my longest.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
It's about it's about the question on everybody obviously, everyone
just dying to know is definitely directed towards Mike, and
that is do you think you guys can make it going?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Do you think she is the one?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Almost? Definitely, I wouldn't be here.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
He said, I wouldn't be here, I mean he said,
And then the follow up question to that would be
are you away of the marriage process that take part
in the bo oh?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, I learned it very early.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
That was a very early conversation, like the first eight
months of our relationship, we had that understood. So I
feel like it was okay at first, just okay, but
me going to Zimbabwe and actually taking part in the
culture and actually observing different things and seeing how things
are it maybe just understand even more to the point
(19:16):
where I feel like I had to pay the bowler.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yeah, these way past calls. Man's really really.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Thenie, this one is to you given that the seriousness
of relationship, and there is the follow up question of
in the if you when you do get older, let's
do with win. It's no longer if at this point,
where would you guys sit, rather where that Matalie will
would you want.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
To set We've been talking about Florida also in the
United States?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
All right, that that is not me speaking, but it's
it's her preference.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
You know.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
It's just kind of.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Going with whatever. I just say, as long as it's
out of here.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Certain, as long as out of Arkansas you find.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, or it takes us. I don't want to take
thiss iss dead for me.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
And with with the with everything going on obviously with
the pandemic and everything. Wow, you guys are keeping the
live together. First start, and then do you how often
do you see each other? Dream anywhere?

Speaker 6 (20:26):
It's not like there's no ski, Yeah, there's no skin,
it's just whenever.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
So obviously you're coming closer to the end of the
interview and we'll where you guys have been great. A
lot of people who who definitely appreciate the insight you're giving.
And I was the fun just rounding out is have

Speaker 4 (20:49):
A lot of make Can you do you think you

you to ask how personal or deep can I get
on a scale of one ten being asking how many
hairs you have on his back and popping pimples, et cetera,
(01:09):
and one just being generic questions.
Speaker 7 (01:12):
We're gonna be like team now, not too personal. So
like I'm saying saving his teams.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
So just get the average, like in the middle of
my game.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
A lot of shame in my game.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
For you, Mike.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I can ask whatever whatever, and infinitely when I put
it at the age, just to turn it down a
little bit. We okay, okay, okay, okay, I got it.
So obviously the obvious question, how did you guys meet man? Yeah,
on the first day of school orientation.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Waste time.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
He does not waste time.
Speaker 8 (01:50):
I mean, look, look, look it wasn't It wasn't a
relationship at that point. It was three months later when
we actually, like pretty much three months later when we
actually start being together.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Oh so was it like talking nothing?
Speaker 8 (02:06):
Yeah, it was like I met her like the first
day of school. I met her, and then like I
was just without my homie. So it's just like, you know,
like I'll see her again, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Like I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Sing he was stalking. He's not saying it about that.
What's stalking.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
He was talking my Instagram And then I was surprised
because you sent me a snapcheed message like two months later.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
I was like, how did he get my snapcher But yeah, he.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
Was Yeah I did that, But it was it was
more planned and she makes it seem like you feel me.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It was more like, you know, I have to understand
the girl before I went to the girl.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, I definitely understand. I mean you're just going there. Yeah,
I don't have.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
An understanding of where you're going.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I understand that.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I know.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
I know.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
It was being safe, it was.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Being understand you know, make me exciting. So so how
long did it take you to make your first three
months after the three months or.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
I'd say more or less like a month for me
to actually like, you know, understand her and want to
take my shot, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
All right, So how long was the first kiss?
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Too month? No, he said too much.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
It's actually two months, so two months after like like
two weeks after we actually started, you know.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
Talking, So maybe like we started on October twenty eight
so October twenty twenty eighteen, and we've got the time
and place the day you know, you have to be
on that they don't like, you don't know, far my
fellas out there, Please know your it's very important to them.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
You know, we don't care I missed that what you said?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, you know man, that we're good, all right. So
in that period where you guys were talking. Were you
allowed to see you? Could you see other people?
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (04:00):
When we were exclusive, like when we actually said that,
like okay we were talking.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
We were not allowed to We're not allowed.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
But there was a period where you know, you have
to date, you have to make sure that you really
want that person.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So it was more or less on my side, you know.
Speaker 8 (04:15):
I you know, college you come with a whole different
mind frame from when you were younger, so you see
a lot of different people.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You know, you want to explore, you want to do
different things.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
But after a while, you kind of you know, mature
after that first semester and you really take in what
you're thinking.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
You know, that makes sense. So what what was like
the turning point?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Was it like one particular thing that manage was like, yeah,
this is mine I wanted?
Speaker 8 (04:39):
Yeah it was it was for some reason, I just
saw her all over campus, like everywhere I walked, Like
when I would go to the Caps, she was there.
In the library, she was there, and you know, like
I'm a very friendly person, so naturally I was going
to flirt anyway.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Oh, so let's actually talk about that the friendly but
Natalie with a friendly thought, does that what is different
day it bothers you or you guys are on the.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Bat, you mean now or then? Because then.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Then it did bother me because I remember there's a
time I had to tell him that we needed to
stop talking because because I saw him in a car
sitting with two girls and he posted on a snapchat.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
To no, she's exaggerating.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
It is not how she explains it, like she makes
me sound like the worst promise.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Is not how sounds.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
All right, let him fish really, we'll give We'll give
that another ten seconds just to chin.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
But yeah, no, it did bother me, and then we
we had to stop talking.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
But that was my turning point.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
When we stopped talking and it bothered me, That's when
I was like, Okay, I think this is the person,
because why is.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
It bothering me so much that we're not talking anymore?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I might when you say it is exaggerating, let's hear
you said of the story, well these two girls was
where you play in the field or what you just
I was.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
I was just simply you know, like I had friends
coming into college, you know, like we had a group
check before we got to college.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So like those were my first people knowing.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
After a while I was with them a little bit,
and you know, like I'm a I think of myself
as a very good looking man, you know, so like
of course every every girl that I Yeah, but nah,
it was it was nothing major.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It was just actually understood.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
After she tasted me, she really went off radar, you know,
like she made a whole deal. And then after I
explained that, she was like, you know.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Are you still friends these females?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Nahka, are you an athlete?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
This for you? Are you allowed? Is it allowed to
have female friends?
Speaker 7 (06:51):
It's it's something that's understood between the both of us
that we don't need those kind of friends that I
don't need the me.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You don't have any female you. You don't have any
guy friends. There's anything more things and if you do.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Not like you cannot talk to people if you see them,
but not on no, like, buddy, buddy, we know.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
Where to draw the line, you know, like there's a
certain limit to things, as there always should be.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
So also you've got just sit to them already. I
like that.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I like that you gotta control. So if there's anything
you would change, Mike about that, there's anything you would
say you would change about that, just like based on
how you guys have been over the time, and Natalie,
you may answer thecation right off this and as he's
done as well.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
I would say I wish she had talked to me
sooner do anything that made the difference.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, it would have could have had more memories.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Hey, okay, believe it wouldn't go to memories on this.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Left you.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
What I would change about him?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yeah, like from how you guys started and et cetera.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
No, nothing, I feel like it flowed as natural as
it should have and it was very organic.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
So yeah, really nothing. I just like it the way
it was.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Okay, So like this person's directive to obviously, you guys
are not say in the United States, United States is
the big place. A lot of fine, beautiful people out there,
is they do you sometimes feel treasure? Like do you
sometimes feel like you know, he's like, no, I got
this would not least you like you know, like sometimes
(08:30):
you feel not I don't want to use the word
term threatens, but that's that that implies in security. But
do you sometimes feel some type of way about the
people around or you.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Just nobody's competition and he.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
No, he has nobody's competition, not by.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
I don't know, just putting it in a secure place
just you know, crosses everything.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Out and I like that. You guys are so cute.
So was it when you found out that you are
from Zimbabwe?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Did that?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
It was there like an additional was that points?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Did that?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Like?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Like was it do you have a curiosity or it
was just more for.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
It was so much in one because like for me
as an American boy, you know, like I've met girls
from various states, Like I know people from literally every state.
So for me to actually meet someone from Africa, you
know here, it's not common to just go to Africa,
you know, right, So it was kind of intriguing, like
(09:34):
it it clicked, like that's an unforgettable thing, you feel me?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
So you can't the difference between the American girls and
this involvement.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Goals most definitely.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Just just touching it on that because I know for
a fact above them girls definitely want to know this.
What are like, name three things that you say stand
out that set apart more Natalie from the regular make.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
I would say attitude for sure, probably the way that
they carry themselves in conversation also, and the last thing
would probably just be get canceled.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I know.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Of cancing people on Twitter.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
I'm not sure you know, I would say, just you know,
like being able to be like here, It's not as
easy to have a person as a friend in your relationship,
right because we we separate friends from relationships, but also
we call out a lot of friendly things in our relationships.
And Zimbabweans y'all have a great way of separating the
(10:37):
two and understanding your person from your relationship and your
person in a friendship while having a relationship within a friendship.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Not as as someone from Zimbabo mentley I am said, Bro,
I'm here.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
All these things for the six Yeah, I want you.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Obviously it's not the regular that people marry.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Wow, look at me just doing it ahead.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Anyway people get involved with with with foreign boys, especially
American boys, a lot Mbob goes is the tent like
fall back.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
So what made you what gravitate towards?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Of course, I'd.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Had bad experiences from back home and coming here was
like just a new chapter, just a big you know,
new beginnings. And yeah, of course he was he he
was different from Zimbabwan boys, but also different from the
rest of the American boys.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Different let's say three things that made him different.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Okay, from from what because I did say.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Like this from like the Zimbabwan boys. They start two
things in and boys. Two things from American boys as quickly.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Okay, so two things from Zimbabwan boys. Just the honesty,
you know, just the transparency. It's that's one thing I
really valued the most. No, it's put on the table
from the.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Jump boys are honest for my viewers, listen, she had
a few bad experiences.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
As a matter of fact.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
When we can smell Cap, I personally have allergic I'm
just saying.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
But and then.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
His I can say, his appreciation of me, you know,
maybe just Moban boys.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
I'm just the usual okay, and but like to him,
it's like he belgues me.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
So I think.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
That's two differences from like American both from the general
American boys.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
And you know, I really I cannot put a pin
on that one. It's just he's just different. And now
when like you just say, I could just feel the difference.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
All right, I'm just gonna say. You know, when you
stand out, you stand out all the way.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
You know this guy, you know, we should we should
encourage this.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
We need more guys, well we actually have more confidence,
solves and et cetera.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Well, most definitely we appreciate we actually appreciate that. And
then look at it actually got to I mean, Natalie,
you got a good one. We don't do that, I know.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
So you guys have a YouTube channel, yes, or Natlie
has a YouTube channel.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
And then you featured a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, so much. I not.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I saw one of my One of the videos that
stands out to you want to look at it is
the one when you went to small and there was
like a there was like a part in the video
where you say the first time on a plane? Was
that the first time you had been on a plane,
or that was the first time you had left the
continent the.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Conceltate, that's the first time.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
I actually I have traveled to California places like that
for family insteade of place, but that was my first
time leaving the States.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Well, that was the first time leaving the states. All right,
So how was oh how did you like it? That
was the cultural change, etcetera. Like a twenty second summary.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Okay, I can go on forever.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
So I'm just gonna say, like Zimbabwe was just a
different For me, it was a different mindset, Like people
made me feel happy, right, because like here you will
see people with everything in the world and they're never happy.
But in Zimbabwe, I saw people with everything and they
were happy. People with nothing and they were happy. And
it was just like it made me appreciate the things
(14:15):
that I had in life, because if people can appreciate
those things without having anything, you know, it just makes
you feel like wow, like this place is and the
scener is so beautiful and I love the food.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Nice people. Were you nervous, Natalie? Were you nervous to
take him back home?
Speaker 9 (14:32):
I'll be on American I was very nice?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
What what? What were the things you're worried about? What
then made? What?
Speaker 4 (14:46):
What did assure you? What made what?
Speaker 7 (14:50):
I wasn't nervous about how he was going to present
himself because I mean we hadn't been together for that long,
it was just seven months, but I knew him very well,
so I knew he was going to.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Present himself well.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
But then I was just worried, like my mom being
very picky, but at the same time she's very welcoming
of gifts. But at the same time, you know, like
I was just nervous, you know, just like anybody would have.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
And then I also have like.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
The family, like grandparents, you know, very traditional, so of
course I.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Was worried about the grandparents received you like, I just
did you enjoyed the They were lovely.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
They they welcomed me with open arms, like I felt
at home. I really felt at home. So I can
say like I probably had the rarest experience that any
person would have traveling to a different time.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
No, for real different experience. What was what made it different?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
I just wanted to say, don't take it very literally
and like, okay, let me just take my American boy home.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
You know, people are different, and this was a very
weird experience. My mom was very strict, but my mom
press him like you know, that's her son.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
So yeah, that's very sweet. A shout out mine athlete,
my not ke we. I don't know what your action
was about. We're gonna go into a few pop up
questions that I got from my Instagram and et cetera.
They just quick yes or no questions. Number one, have
you guys got in at your clients?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Hoo? The scale was sick.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
That is great, Okay, who keep the film? We beat
the beat.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
The film kind of insinuates, you know, just looking around.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Another one was, do you guys watch explicit video skill?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
No, no, And then you know what.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I'm just gonna stop here because they keep getting wild
and wilder and wilder at the minute.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
But I do have a question that I want to ask.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
With all the challenges that are dropping on Instagram, the past,
the challenge, the the cry baby, they except first of all, Natalie.
When you hear him spuing on his Instagram, then you, oh,
my big what's your first reaction? I don't here, you
don't care, and you don't feel something.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
I don't hear anything like that.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Oh his Instagram he basically scrolls through like sport.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
I've never really heard anything.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
I'm not being on social media like I got bigger
through her, but I'm not a big social media person.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Not impossible to find your account like wow.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Name, But I understand.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
And so when you do so, you don't feel any
kind of preasure because it's not on social media obviously, but.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
You do see them.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
And when you do see them, do you feel like
you like Natalie should be taking part with you or
that that's really something you guys don't even care about you.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
I just kind of scroll through, like you know, like
if I say, it's just like, it is what it is.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
It's a video, you know, like you one one of
the three you mentioned.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, So it was just like, you know, it
is what it is. Like I'm not an insecure person.
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I like your dynamic. I really do, I really do.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I mean the streets obviously you have been a while,
and so to see a young couple, for those young
romantics out there, you see here people that you guys
have want together three years showing one went on three years, Wow,
went on three years before twenty two us. That's that's
that's nineties. That's eighty my longest by four, your longest
(18:22):
by far, Netalie, what what has this been?
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Your longest?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Do you it's about to be my longest.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
It's about it's about the question on everybody obviously, everyone
just dying to know is definitely directed towards Mike, and
that is do you think you guys can make it going?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Do you think she is the one?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Almost? Definitely, I wouldn't be here.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
He said, I wouldn't be here, I mean he said,
And then the follow up question to that would be
are you away of the marriage process that take part
in the bo oh?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, I learned it very early.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
That was a very early conversation, like the first eight
months of our relationship, we had that understood. So I
feel like it was okay at first, just okay, but
me going to Zimbabwe and actually taking part in the
culture and actually observing different things and seeing how things
are it maybe just understand even more to the point
(19:16):
where I feel like I had to pay the bowler.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yeah, these way past calls. Man's really really.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Thenie, this one is to you given that the seriousness
of relationship, and there is the follow up question of
in the if you when you do get older, let's
do with win. It's no longer if at this point,
where would you guys sit, rather where that Matalie will
would you want.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
To set We've been talking about Florida also in the
United States?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
All right, that that is not me speaking, but it's
it's her preference.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
You know.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
It's just kind of.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Going with whatever. I just say, as long as it's
out of here.
