Welcome to the Rush Hour, your daily dose of pop culture for your rush hour ride.

Buckle up and enjoy the drive with your host, stand-up comedian Dave Neal.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, today's guest on the Rush Hour podcast was voted a top 10

matchmaker in California and was called the billionaire bachelor's best friend.

It's matchmaker Gina Hendricks. How you doing? Hey, I'm great. How are you? Good. I love talking to

matchmakers here. You've been doing this for a long time since 2008. Is that correct?

16 years. Yes, indeed. Does business pick up before the holiday season or do people wait till after Valentine's Day?

We're in that kind of winter bubble. Yeah, you know, they technically call this cuffing season though.

And cuffing season within our industry is like prime time from Halloween all the way up to Valentine's.

It's sort of when people feel lonely, they, you know, get sentimental.

They don't want to spend the holidays alone. So historically in my business, you know, I, I kind of

don't have like, oh, it gets busier at this time, however saying that. And it might be because I'm

a little more popular in social media than I

happened in the past. But right now, there's lots of men and women. Women are always beating

down my door. But in terms of men showing up interested to be clients, I'm extra busy right now.

Yeah, it seems like it seems like it would be interesting because you cater to higher end male clientele,

but men with money can tend to be in what we call F boys. So how do you know,

like which guys are serious versus which guys are like, I got money to throw out a matchmaker.

Go get me some hot ladies. You know, I don't find that's really ever the case here with my guys.

You know, and probably because of my fee and the level of commitment, I find, you know,

guys that don't have any money can be F boys too. You know what I mean? I don't think it has to do

with money. I really don't. I think money makes a lot of things easier. But certainly, at least just for my experience, I don't find that these guys are necessarily any more of a player than a guy who has no money. There's that. So, but I do look for certain things. You know, there was one guy a few years ago, a couple years ago that showed up.
