(RAPPING) We clubbing and we buzzing.
Yeah, so we gonna get it in to the nightfall.
How are you doing?
I got a table for two.
There's definitely a lot of pressure going
into my first day with Jamala.
I mean, I talk to Jamala almost every day, FaceTime,
regular phone calls.
So seeing her again in person on the one-on-one intimate type
of situation, I felt a lot of pressure.
(RAPPING) It's going down. See my rounds.
I'm out of control.
A lot of groove in my music and alcohol.
Go ahead and take a seat.
Hey.
How are you doing?
- I'm good. - Good to see you.
Good to see you.
We finally gonna date, right?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Are you excited?
No interruptions.
No extra calls.
Yes, none of that, none of that.
Push me in, push me in.
Yay.
I'm smiling extremely wide.
Randall and I have spent a lot of time on the phone.
And now is an opportunity for us to really see what
the interaction is in person.
Do you like my dress?
- Perfect color. - Perfect color.
Perfect color.
You been in my closet?
I picked it for you.
It's perfect.
Thank you.
Happy to finally be on a date.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Yeah. - Are you?
RANDALL: I've been waiting for it.
That's good to hear.
I promise I've been waiting for.
I really enjoy, like, talking with you.
I like how you're positive.
It's encouraging.
And how you look out for me.
Yeah.
Make sure I'm not doing anything crazy.
That's the hard part, right? JAMALA: Right.
It's a two-way street.
I don't think I told you, like,
how much I enjoy you talking about, like, just your life
and what makes you tick and what pushes you
and how like you're so like driven to be better.
I just like seeing that in you, like,
and that you have that motivation,
like self-motivation to want to do that and be more.
My favorite thing is hearing you talk about your mom though.
Whenever you talk about your mom, you get so excited.
I light right up, right?
That's my best friend.
That's all I got, you know, so of course.
No, that's like dope.
Because you light up about like your mom.
And that's how I am about my parents.
Like my dad, I just really appreciate them,
you know, for being them.
And like 35 years of marriage together is no easy feat,
so you know--
35 years.
That's what's up.
I want to be like that, one and done, if I get married.
What do you think? You want to be one and done?
- Yeah, same way. - One and done?
- Yeah, one and done. - OK.
Yeah, so mine is like based on my grandparents.
My grandparents, they were married for, like, 56
years or something like that.
You get what I'm saying?
So, like, that's what I want to remember.
Like, that's what I seen. That's the model that I seen.
So yeah, one and done, for sure. - One and-- I like that.
You stuck with me already, you know, like already.
I'm not stuck.
I'm where I want to be.
Great answer.
Good answer.
That's a great answer.
I love the fact that I can just pretty much say anything
to Jamala at any point in time, and she
makes me feel comfortable.
Anytime you're able to be yourself, that's a win.
You don't have to try to fake it or anything like that.
To be honest, I loved your energy since day one,
if you know what I'm saying.
Our first conversation, you know, it was just upsetting.
It kept getting interrupted.
I've never talked to you without it being interrupted,
but it's fine.
I'll look around, but OK.
I'm not worried about that.
You know, I'll talk to her later.
I'm going to call her on the phone tonight, too, right?
I think once you did that and you called me, you were just
like, look, I'm interested.
That was big for me, how you, like, oh, my personality.
Yeah, all eight of them.
And I feel like that's me.
Like it's so funny that you catch
like all the different personalities too.
But you just think it's funny.
You're not like, whoa, she's crazy.
Well, you say I'm crazy but--
Yeah, yeah, I said every day I'm probably never
going to stop saying that.
You say I'm annoying too.
It's because I like you.
Because you like me?
No, it's not a real-- like I'm not annoyed.
I'm just--
Good.
'Cause I don't want you to tolerate me.
I want you to be happy, right? - I enjoy you.
I love talking to you. - You enjoy me?
Yeah, I've been waiting for this moment.
I like that.
Overall, I'd rate my date a 9 out of 10.
Randall pretty much has said his interests.
He didn't try to hide it.
He didn't try to play it cool.
I feel like I've seen growth with him even in the time frame
that we're talking.
And he just wants to be there.
I appreciate him as a person.
I appreciate the conversation.
Let's see where it goes.
Sometimes, I look up, and you're staring at me.
Yeah, 'cause I just like looking at you.
You know, I can't help it.
I promise it's a good thing.
I just like looking at you.
You always say this. RANDALL: You're beautiful.
- I don't know what that means. - You're beautiful.
JAMALA: Thank you. - You're gorgeous.
There's a lot of similes I can use right now.
