SofhI'll be down. >> You can stop it. All right. All right. We get the idea. We get the idea. That's cool, though. Um, how long you been doing urban climbing for? >> I mean, not that not that long. I mean, when I was young, I would always just be scaling palm trees and climbing, you know, public's rooftops.

Sofh>> You kidding me? >> Oh, god. Sorry. Hearing my own voice like scares me. But it hasn't been too long. I mean, it's only been like a couple years, but it's it's not I'd say my niche, but it's it's accidentally

Sofhwhat got this whole algorithm thing started up. I was just like a small town ranch girl in rural Colorado until what was it, late May, and then I made one little video and then next thing I know,

Sofha couple months later, boom, 200k, boom, I'm in LA. It's weird. I'm not used to it. That's why I don't really know how to act uh put on like a persona. I'm just I'm me on voice memo and right

Sofhhere, you know. What's the uh tallest structure you've ever climbed? >> Um, I think tallest, well, there was a 500 foot that I topped out with my friend that was somewhere in Pennsylvania. Um, there might have been

Brian AtlasI might have hit like a bridge in in Germany that was a little taller. Ooh, I cannot do the conversion right now, but I did hit a 100 meter windmill with my friends. They took me up. >> Are there girls that like other girls that do this? Cuz I feel like it's mostly guys who

Brian Atlas>> It is. It is mostly dudes. >> Urban climbing stuff. It is mostly dudes. But um >> and do you do you is there a fear response in you when you do that stuff? >> Not anymore. I mean

Brian Atlas>> like you you're 500 ft up, no harness, right? You don't you don't hook into anything. >> Not really. >> You're at you're climbing some tower that's sometimes not even meant to be

Sofhclimbed, right? It's just bars, you know, but it's not like a ladder. Um no fear. >> Well, I mean there is the automatic amydala response of like, yo, don't

Brian Atlasfall. you probably will die. But there not is the looking down and getting >> when you look down >> in place of it, there's just like a an adrenaline rush, you know, >> like even me if I watch like a Have you done any free solo stuff?

Sofh>> Uh, a little bit. When I was out in Colorado, I was, you know, driving from stage gig to stage gig and there were there would be some, you know, cliffsides and I'll be like, I don't really have a harness. I'll just I'll just free solo it. >> Like, would you ever What what's his name? Alex Hnold or what? You know who that is?

Sofhmuch rocks growing up, you know? >> It's it's probably a different skill set. >> It is. Yeah. Cuz I guess urban climbing is very mechanical. It's just like peg peg peg peg peg for like a good half hour. >> Like I feel probably for rock climbing

Sofhthe grip is a bit more cuz the bars it's just whatever. >> Yeah. It's mechanic. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. >> But like >> I would love to like truly get into rock climbing and free soloing and just send something crazy

Bri (Matchmaker)>> yeah, just yeah, just to um I don't know, reassess I I guess. And uh I have bigger fish to fry honestly. So um >> what do you mean bigger fish to fry? What do you mean?

Bri (Matchmaker)>> Like as far as like my personal life is concerned. Um romantic love isn't at the forefront of my mind at the moment. So So just taking a little space. I mean

Bri (Matchmaker)yeah but five plus years not my longest relationship. Um my only other relationship has been with um my son's father for seven and a half years. And those are the two relationships I've had. >> Were you ever married?

Brian Atlas>> Never married. >> Okay. Um, >> but definitely plan to be. >> Uh, really quick, just on the your son's father. >> Uh, are you guys co-parenting?

Bri (Matchmaker)>> We are now. Yeah. It took us a really long time to get there, but uh, but we are now. >> Okay. Uh, does he pay you child support? >> Um, no, he doesn't. >> Do you pay him child support?

Bri (Matchmaker)>> No, I don't. >> Okay. Is there has this been litigated in the court or has it been handled informally? >> Informally. It's a long story, but um yeah. No, it's just not worth it to

Bri (Matchmaker)>> Okay. And you said you were 19 when you got pregnant? >> Tech technically. >> And then you had your kid when you were 20. >> Correct. >> So he was also young, >> correct? He was um 24 and I was I think

Bri (Matchmaker)18 19. So not too big of an age difference. My current partner is um 18 years older than me. So quite a quite a bit.

Brian Atlas>> So he's 50 >> three. 53. Okay. And you're 36. Um >> it's complicated though. How long has it been complicated? And how long have you not been wearing your ring?

Bri (Matchmaker)>> Um it's been complicated for for a bit. Um he has a child from a previous marriage. He's been previously married. I have not

Bri (Matchmaker)been married, but you know, long-term relationship and I also have a a kid. So, it's been really hard to do the um

Bri (Matchmaker)the blended family um for us. So, that's been quite a challenge, I would say, among other things. >> And uh

Brian Atlas>> among other things. How >> So, you said you took the ring off cuz you guys are engaged. >> Yeah. I mean, technically. >> So, how long have you had the ring off? >> Um,

Brian Atlasrecently, like a few days ago. >> A few days ago. >> But this is not the first time I've taken it off. So, >> all right. Okay. Not the first time you've taken it off. >> No, it isn't. >> What is there a specific reason you guys

Bri (Matchmaker)are fighting? >> Um, yeah. things are just um they're not they're clashing, you know, and I would

Bri (Matchmaker)say that I don't feel like he necessarily knows how to provide certain things that I've very vocally tried to um you know, get him to provide as far as like emotional support goes, things

Bri (Matchmaker)like that, cuz like I said, my life is at a pretty rocky moment. >> Um and yeah, and he just doesn't get it. And um >> he he doesn't get it. >> He doesn't get it. There there is also a

Bri (Matchmaker)cultural difference. So he's um he's Bulgarian. Um so he's >> okay >> from Bulgaria. So there Yeah, it's a >> what what's the difference?

Bri (Matchmaker)>> Um I think he was just raised very differently. Um >> how so? >> I have a way more traditional understanding of love and

Bri (Matchmaker)relationships based on my you know personal life experience with my parents, my grandparents, etc. um he also has his own kind of version of that and it and it's just very different and it's not necessarily wrong

Bri (Matchmaker)it's just different and so we sort of clash in that in that way I >> just a reminder for everyone please don't read the chats as they come on the screen >> okay

Brian Atlas>> um okay so you say he's not providing you say he's not providing um >> okay Yeah.

Bri (Matchmaker)>> Emotional support. >> What does that mean? >> You know, it's so funny. I think a lot of guys don't necessarily know what that means. Um, it really just means to be present. Like >> present. >> Present. Like emotionally present. Not

Bri (Matchmaker)just there's a there's a very distinct difference between being physically present and actually being emotionally present and saying, "Hey, I recognize and acknowledge, you know, what you're

Bri (Matchmaker)going through in your life. You know, my mom is very sick. um you know very sick and you know my son is also having you know his some of his own personal issues as well >> teenager

Bri (Matchmaker)difficult period >> totally totally so I I just really require a certain level of support and that's what I mean by that and I'm just not receiving it at the moment and I'm

Bri (Matchmaker)at an age where I mean I don't have my biological clock ticking because because once again I already have a child so I'm I'm okay with not having any more children that marriage is impaired. Like

Bri (Matchmaker)that that is very important for me. And so we've been together for long enough where I feel like it's either you do or you don't. And that's that. >> Oh, so he's you guys have been How long

Brian Atlashave you guys been engaged? >> Since February of this year. >> Oh, okay. So, wait, are you saying that he's not wanting to pull the trigger on the actual marriage? >> Correct. >> Okay.

Hannah (NYU)times? >> Part of it was maybe emotional manipulation, honestly. And I >> How did you emotionally manipulate him? >> No, he manipulated me.

Hannah (NYU)>> Did I get that in reverse? I think I think I was very attached and we met when I was very young and I was looking

Hannah (NYU)for marriage and kids and family. Um I took steps towards that and I just felt that he didn't over that time and >> do you have you don't have any kids? >> No. Okay.

Hannah (NYU)>> Physically. Okay. >> It got that way. >> All right. Uh was that reciprocated? >> Um honestly, at the beginning, yes. But

Hannah (NYU)to me at that time, I would consider it more so like fighting back. Like I would yell back at him and then I sort of got to a point where I grew a lot and I

Hannah (NYU)stopped doing that but he sort of continued with what he was doing. So, you know, he treated me badly and I ended the relationship. >> Gotcha. Um, any police intervention at all? Were police ever called for No,

Karinadid way too much and I actually died and I got sent to hell. Um, all I can say to describe what hell was for me, because I do believe that hell is going to be different based on everyone's life here on earth and the way that they sinned

Karinaand their weaknesses and everything. But for me, it was a dark black abyss of nothingness. Um, demons were laughing all around me. I was being tortured. It was like I was being held down and I

Karinacouldn't move. It was just a whole blackness away from conscious. It was consciousness away from God is basically what I would describe it as. Um, and while I was down there being tortured,

Karinait felt like forever. Don't really know how long it was. Um, God's voice came in through the darkness and said, "You can wake up now." And when he spoke, the demons started to tremble. Um, just like

Karinain the Bible it says demons shake at the sound of his voice. Right? So he they started to tremble and I woke up on my bathroom floor. I still thought I was dead. I walked around the house like completely like didn't even know what

Karinawas going on. And then when I got back to the bathroom, I looked into the mirror. I saw blood on my face. I must have like cracked my fa I have a scar actually. I must have cracked my my face open on the on the counter when I went

Brian Atlasout and fell down. But the blood is how I realized I was still alive. >> Damn. >> Yeah. >> Uh so you you ODed basically. Yes. Damn. Crazy. >> Yes.

Brian Atlas>> You did in the past, but uh you don't do it anymore. So, nobody here does any of that stuff. Okay, cool. Sweet. Nobody on the panel does OF. All right, rock and roll. So, that's everybody's

Brian Atlasrelationship status. We're gonna dive right into the show here. Uh, let's see. Where do we begin? Um, the matchmaking stuff. I want to touch

Brian Atlason that. >> How did I know? Let's see. >> I want to touch on that. So, I think we've had one or two matchmakers on the show before. You said you've been doing matchmaking for 5 years, is it? >> Yes.

Brian Atlas>> And uh you work with quite a variety of clientele. Most of your male is it primarily men or >> it's it's predominantly men. Yes, it is. We do have some female clients as well.

Brian Atlas>> And so basically somebody comes to you, hey, dating apps suck, dating sucks. >> Tell me how. Basically, you know, it's I'd rather be set up. >> Um >> Yep.

Brian Atlas>> Let's see. Hold on. These Okay. I'm just finding your notes here. Um, and you're also a dating coach, too. So, you're a professional matchmaker and a dating coach. >> Yes. >> Um, I mean, my first actually, wait,

Brian Atlasbefore I get into that, >> uh, you actually, no, we'll just dive in. >> Yeah. >> If somebody tells me they're a matchmaker and a dating coach, the

Brian Atlasquestion that it always begets is, >> why aren't you married? >> I know you're engaged, but >> that's a valid question. Um,

Bri (Matchmaker)honestly, I just had a really unconventional start. Um, like like I said, I um you know, I met the father of my son very young. I actually did not

Bri (Matchmaker)date in high school. Um, I was uh a professional I was pursuing professional modeling. I was kind of getting my career going. And then, uh, lo and

Bri (Matchmaker)behold, I met my now ex. And, um, it was kind of a a whirlwind to be honest. And I was young. I was 18, 19 years old. You know, what do you know at at that age? >> Girl, I don't know anything.

Bri (Matchmaker)>> Like, honestly, no, but like honestly, you're just like ignorant. And um I would say that I was raised in like a very extremely like sheltered household. Like my excuse me, my dad was, you know,

Bri (Matchmaker)the bread winner. My mom basically oversaw everything else. And she is Latin, so she was very like present, but almost suffocatingly so. So I didn't

Bri (Matchmaker)>> Puerto Rican, correct? >> Dominican, Puerto Rican. Yeah, both. Both. Um, >> same thing with Eastern European parents, they're suffocating. Yeah, >> they're right at you. My mom's Romanian, Mulovven. >> I mean, God, God love her. And I know

Bri (Matchmaker)she meant like super well by it. But, um, you know, when you're raised in like an extremely sheltered household, um, a lot of times you tend to rebel. And

Bri (Matchmaker)that's kind of what I did. And so I met like the probably worst candidate of a person for me. And um and like I said,

Bri (Matchmaker)it was like this whirlwind. And um yeah, I met him through my best friend at the time who I had known since kindergarten. >> Mhm. >> She was like Yeah. She was like a sister to me. So um

Brian Atlas>> Sure. >> Yeah. And then the rest is history. So >> that's why I'm not married. I It's I just >> I was young and dumb, honestly. >> Okay. Uh you also in your notes you say

Brian Atlasyou've turned down a handful of billionaires and very very wealthy highlevel executives. You say some of them are very down to earth and act like regular people. Money and power only

Brian Atlaschanges people if you allow it to and it certainly doesn't equate to happiness or having an easier time >> yes >> finding love. Um you say some of your clients want and

Brian Atlastry to date you. uh you're flattered, but >> you've always kept things professional, never crossed that boundary. >> Never. >> Um on the billionaires though, so you when you say you've turned down a

Brian Atlashandful of billionaires and they're very wealthy, highlevel executives, you're talking as clients or you're talking as men who were interested in you. >> Both. >> Both. Okay. >> Both. Yeah.

Bri (Matchmaker)>> Um really quick though, so for from the client angle, just why would you turn someone down? Are they like they smell bad or something or >> No, not at all. No, honestly, most of um the clients that I've worked with have

Bri (Matchmaker)actually been a pleasure to work with for the most part. Of course, you always have, you know, the stragglers. There's always the exceptions to the rule, but to be honest, I've had really really good um relationships with my clients.

Brian AtlasIt's just it's just ethics as far as I go. I just don't ethically >> Oh, no. Sorry. When I say uh like you've turned down a client, not for dating, but >> Oh. >> as your client. Oh, >> you turn them down. >> No, no,

Brian Atlas>> I I don't want to work with you. That's what I'm I keep them as clients. I just Yeah, I see. Okay. So, moving Sure Sure. Sure. Sure. Moving off of the clients then. Uh just purely romantically, not even clients. You've turned down a

Bri (Matchmaker)handful of billionaires. I wouldn't say there's been at least two and then and then there have been extremely highlevel executives

Bri (Matchmaker)for like billiondoll industries that I have also turned down. Yes, I have. >> Okay. Gotcha. >> Yeah. >> You turned down a billionaire. >> I swear. Yeah, I have the proof. Yeah, I have. >> [ __ ]

Brian Atlas>> Yeah. >> I feel like I would like what? Why? you know, just that, you know, wasn't feeling it. >> It's not as >> I would if a if a girl billionaire was like hitting me up, you know, I' I'd probably feel it. >> I'd say go for it.

Brian Atlas>> I'd probably feel it, you know, >> although there are all the female billionaires are bit on the older side, you know. Well, I guess the male billionaires are too. So,

Bri (Matchmaker)>> for me, um, it's not about money, status, power. Um, >> it's not. >> No, it's it's honestly not. No, I really I really truly care about like

Bri (Matchmaker)>> like how like how the person is like their values, their morals, like where they come from, how they grew up. Can we have, you know, long intimate conversations, things like that. Like I

Brian AtlasI And I care about looks as well, not going to lie. >> Looks important. >> Looks are very important to me. Yeah. Yeah. >> Assuming they're a good person. Let's say they're a billionaire. They're a good person. >> Yeah. >> But you don't like they're not abusive.

Brian AtlasThey're not going to mistreat you. Yeah, >> but you mentioned you want to have those long, deep, deep convos. >> Yeah. >> What if everything else about them, I'm not saying they're perfect, but they're good. >> Okay.

Brian Atlas>> But they you can't have long deep convos with them, but they're a billionaire. Do you take the trade? >> It really depends on the the person.

Brian Atlas>> A good person, but you're never going to have some deep philosophical convo, you know? >> Can I tell you something? Sure. >> My current partner, I don't have deep philosophical conversations. >> Oh, okay. Is he a billionaire? >> He's not.

Brian Atlas>> Oh, well, [ __ ] Okay, then there you go. Okay. So, so to be clear then, if you can't have those, you would you would date a billionaire? >> Yeah, of course. Yeah, I would. I would. >> Cuz I don't know. Some people say, >> "Yeah, no, I would make the trade." Sure. >> Okay. I'd do that trade.

Brian Atlas>> Like, I'm dating. >> I'm literally currently experiencing it. So, yeah. dating a female billionaire. But >> although he's not a billionaire, >> although truth be told, >> sorry, >> even if she worked at Chick-fil-A and

Brian Atlasthere was a lack of capacity for really deep convos, I think I'd be okay. I think I'd be fine. But all right. Um, so, uh, how does that go when you turn down a billionaire? Is it on their private jet or in

Bri (Matchmaker)>> No. No. >> Where where do you typically turn them down? >> Literally via >> Oh, text. >> Text or Yeah. you know, I just politely

Bri (Matchmaker)decline. I'm never I'm never um disrespectful. I always maintain a level of respect and professionalism. I mean, that's very important in in anything you do. But ultimately, yeah, you just have

Bri (Matchmaker)to sort of set the set the line in the boundary and that's that. So, and my partner knows all about this. Just ask. >> Wait, question. The billionaires that you did >> Yeah. >> reject. >> Yeah. >> Were they like terrible people?

Brian Atlas>> No, not at all. >> They were chill. Yeah. Yeah. >> And they were like trying to like date you for real. For real. Z's. >> I swear. Yes. >> No. No. I believe you. I'm just saying

Brian Atlaslike they were Okay. >> Yes. >> And you turn down a billionaire. There's like >> Yes. >> That's rare though. >> I literally I can show you this. >> That's like >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You You marry a billionaire.
