Yes, I'm spreading Fluid across America.
They love you, Rebel.
Ah, hi, guys.
[cheering, applause]
You should do a guest host week.
Oh, I don't know whether I could do what you do.
Sometimes I've done hosting gigs, and they terrify me.
Like, because-- I hosted the British Academy Awards,
the BAFTAs, and it was terrifying.
HASAN MINHAJ: Is it because, like, British actors
take themselves very seriously?
Yeah, yeah.
Like, I made a joke about a male actor,
and then his wife came up to me and was like, you
know he's married, right?
And I'm like, yeah, I wasn't, like, trying
to get with him or anything.
I was just--
HASAN MINHAJ: (LAUGHING) OK.
So it's very hard to host.
Well--
I'm glad you're hosting.
Speaking--
[cheering, applause]
All right.
Speaking of getting with people,
you recently got engaged?
Yes, I did.
Congratulations.
[cheering, applause]
You got engaged at Disneyland!
Yes, I got engaged in Disneyland.
The happiest proposal place on Earth.
Yeah, so basically, it's not like I'm
obsessed with Disneyland. It's just--
Are you--
I go there every weekend.
Oh, my god!
Like, every important holiday and every important
life event.
So I did actually get to sleep inside Disneyland
for my 40th birthday.
So I got to sleep overnight, and I
got those little disability scooters and went
around just by myself.
I was cruising around.
Why sleep in an empty theme park?
That's like a horror movie.
It was really fun.
And then, I tried to break into the churros thing,
and then I couldn't get that many, but it was fun.
Yeah.
You know-- but were the rides open overnight?
No.
They shut 'em, eventually.
There's this whole thing with Disney adults.
You know this, right?
Maybe I'm one of them.
No!
Did you know, Hasan, there's actually gangs at Disneyland.
There are, like, these gangs of adults that
have cool names like the White Rabbits
or Children of Thanos, Coco Locos.
Like, yeah, they have all these gangs,
and sometimes they wear matching vests.
And they walk around and, like, do
gang stuff inside Disneyland.
So there's, like, an initiation
where you have to, like, stab Goofy or something?
It was-- actually, one of the initiations
was you had to steal the apple from the Snow White ride.
And the apple kept getting stolen so many times,
that they had to make it a hologram,
not a physical apple anymore.
But don't ask me how I know about Disneyland gangs,
because I will not say.
Yeah.
It's not like you're wearing gang colors right now at all.
No.
Right.
But I will say, I did get banned from Disneyland for 30
days, because I took a photo in a secret bathroom
inside Disneyland, which is illegal--
at Disneyland.
And I got officially banned for 30 days.
But they called me up and said, Rebel,
what 30 days do you not want to come to Disneyland,
because you're away filming a movie or something?
And I said, oh, June would be fine.
HASAN MINHAJ: That's how I know you're a celebrity.
(LAUGHING) Yeah.
Like, Disneyland has Met Gala rules, where
they're like, no photos here.
And then, you break it, and then they're like, look,
we have to punish you, but looking
at your Google Calendar, what month works for you?
Yeah.
Do you-- as a Disney adult, do you have
beef with quidditch adults?
Because there's adults that play in quidditch leagues.
Oh. (LAUGHING) Do they?
Yeah, yeah.
You're laughing at them?
I mean, I like Harry Potter as well.
You're like, yeah.
Yeah, oh, my god.
Dorks.
No, I don't have beef with everyone.
I'm just, like, spreading love, and you know.
Yeah.
[laughter]
- Can I ask you a question? - OK.
I always wanted to--
I haven't done it yet.
But I heard there is this, like, Disney Illuminati.
It's called Club 33.
Uh-- yeah, I know about this.
HASAN MINHAJ: So--
Because I'm in it.
I'm in it.
HASAN MINHAJ: So what--
this is a private conversation.
Yeah.
I mean, it is-- yeah.
You're not supposed to say you're in it.
You're not supposed to reveal other celebrities who
are in it, or other members.
But yeah, I am in it.
And we do secret cool shit together.
Like, sometimes we go into Disneyland at 5:00
AM in the morning, just run around.
- Oh, my god. - Yeah, we do--
Really?
Yeah.
I have a secret gathering this weekend in Palm Springs.
Because Walt Disney used to go there to find inspiration.
HASAN MINHAJ: I don't know if you're [bleep] with me
right now.
No, this is totally real.
Sometimes I say things that sound like jokes,
but it's totally real.
But it's totally real? OK.
Yeah.
I'll go on a Reddit deep dive and confirm.
Yeah.
I want to talk to you about this amazing dating app
you have, called Fluid. - Thank you.
It's new.
Like, none of the other dating apps have thought of this,
and I was like, well, I thought of it, so trademark that shit.
Yeah, it's called Fluid, and basically, when I was--
I wasn't so lucky in love.
I was kind of like a late bloomer.
And when you joined a dating app,
which I did-- this one called Raya,
and you had to, like, tick--
you had to label yourself, and then label
what you were interested in.
HASAN MINHAJ: OK.
And to me, I kind of, like--
it felt really weird to, like, tick a box
and say, yes, I'm that.
And so I wanted to create a dating app where
you don't have to label yourself,
so it's love without labels.
And to me, it's really important,
because I think sexuality is so much more
nuanced and complex than just labeling yourself like you're
a can of food or something.
And so I wish that Fluid was an app that was available,
like, five years ago, because that would
have really helped me a lot.
HASAN MINHAJ: I was pretty dating apps.
So you've never been on one?
Never been. i'm.
MS-DOS.
I'm like Windows 95.
Old-school chivalry.
My move was, in college, with my wife,
I basically just went to the registrar's office,
and then took all the classes she was taking.
Oh, that's-- yeah.
Until she broke up with her boyfriend.
Ah!
Yeah, yeah, I was laid back in the cut.
You have to respect how long I held my plank.
Because I was premed for two years.
OK?
And I should not be premed.
I should not--
Just, wait.
When you say, plank, what do you mean?
I'm like-- you know when you're, like, exercising,
they're like, hold the plank! - OK, oh, yeah.
Maybe that's just that Barry's Bootcamp that I go to.
Yeah. All right.
OK. Yeah.
But the question that I had was, how
do you initiate conversation?
REBEL WILSON: That's a good question.
Yeah, because people are going to be going on Fluid.
They're going to be matching, and then they're like, ah,
what do I do?
What do I say?
HASAN MINHAJ: How do you-- how do you start?
Do what I do-- koala emoji.
Just put it in, bang.
Like, you match with someone, send them a koala emoji.
It could mean multiple things.
I mean, maybe it particularly worked for me,
because I'm Australian.
Yeah.
But yeah.
I mean, it's interesting what-- some people just do, like,
a wave emoji or something, like,
not even just a sentence. (LAUGHING) Just an emoji.
I was like, what are you supposed to write back
when someone does the hey? HASAN MINHAJ: I have no idea.
Yeah. I mean, it's hard.
HASAN MINHAJ: Well, the hey is kind of just--
do you take it as-- is that too much?
No.
HASAN MINHAJ: Or are you like, oh, they're waving me down,
like hey--
What would be too much-- he's, like, calling you "babe"
in the first message.
You don't get to "babe" until you've been on, like,
five dates at least, I think.
HASAN MINHAJ: Yeah, "babe" is a lot.
Yeah, or like, just saying, what about we
meet at Starbucks at 11:00 AM?
Like, you know--
HASAN MINHAJ: What's wrong with that?
'Cause you wouldn't walk up to somebody in a bar.
HASAN MINHAJ: I love-- I would love--
But then, it wouldn't be your opening line.
You've got to have a bit of banter.
OK, so-- yeah.
So what I recommend to people is
to do a little bit of banter.
And then, get down to business about when and where
you're going to meet up-- in a public place, for
safety, always.
HASAN MINHAJ: Right.
I did one experiment called the Year of Love
in 2019, where I went out with everybody who asked
me out, as an experiment.
So--
HASAN MINHAJ: How is that not a movie?
- Oh, it should be. - It should be.
Yeah, I think I might--
You just yes-and-ed every-- that's, like,
the craziest improv class.
Yeah.
Everybody who said "yes," unless they
were in a federal prison--
OK.
--I went out with. That was the one caveat.
Uh-huh.
And so I did get really good at dating,
because I felt like, in my 20s, I was studying and working,
so I didn't really date much, so I had no experience.
So I spent one year really focusing on dating.
But yeah, I would just say, banter it off, and then set up
a meeting in a public place. HASAN MINHAJ: OK.
Safety.
Yeah.
Can I ask you about that opening "hey"?
OK.
Do you go, capital H-E-Y?
Do you go-- this is serious. - That's shouting.
That's shouting.
What?
Yeah, if you capitalize that.
What about--
It's like saying-- (SHOUTING) Hey!
No, no, no.
And then, you could come off as aggressive.
No, Rebel, all caps--
capital H, capital E, capital Y, exclamation point--
that's-- (SHOUTING) Hey!
It's more like, hey.
Yeah, you want to do, like, more like a Hamilton
"hey," which is like, hey.
You know?
Oh, you're so cool.
You know what I realized do?
So I would do lowercase.
When you text, do you use punctuation?
Do you capital-H-E-Y, or do you do all lowercase?
Are you like, "hey"?
I do punctuation.
Maybe it's because I'm a law school graduate.
HASAN MINHAJ: Yeah, me, too.
But I didn't know--
I didn't know that's corny now.
Like, now, it's all ironic detachment.
I think that's a sign of good education.
Yeah. OK, thank you.
Thank you.
[applause]
I wanted to ask you, what is an instant red flag
for a dating profile?
OK, there's some things--
a man holding a fish.
[laughter]
(LAUGHING) Why?
He loves nature!
No, something weird about it.
Also, girl on a horse.
No.
Horse girls?
They're a bit--
What about Machu Picchu-- what about Machu Picchu guy?
I have a lot of guy friends that are like,
sunglasses, Machu Picchu.
- Oh, what is Machu-- - It's in Peru.
It's like a--
Oh, and they're near the pyramids or something--
It's kind of like-- it's not the pyramid.
That's in Egypt, but-- - Oh, OK.
Yeah.
But it is like a civilization built into a mountain,
but they'll be, like, at the top of it,
and they're just like, "I'm Mike," you know?
And it's just like, sunglasses and--
Like, they're saying they've climbed this,
and they might climb you?
HASAN MINHAJ: I think what they're--
well, OK. - Is that--
- I thought it-- - That could be hot.
That could be hot.
I think it was more like, I'm well-traveled,
and I'm interesting.
Oh, OK, OK.
Yeah, well, you can read lots of things.
I mean, I definitely-- when I was on the apps,
I would look at people's phones and try to, like,
work out things about them.
And if I thought they were, like, cool--
HASAN MINHAJ: Really? - Yeah.
Yeah, but sometimes you can never tell, and some of them
do have a criminal record.
[laughter]
HASAN MINHAJ: How many criminals have you dated?
A couple.
(LAUGHING) Oh, my god.
I do have the number of the FBI.
What?
Because they volunteered to check people out for me.
Yeah.
HASAN MINHAJ: OK, we're putting Fluid, the app, here.
Wait, what?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know whether they do this for all actors,
but they're like, if you ever want
a background-check somebody, you let us know
their name and their number.
And so I did.
It turns out that guy had an assault charge from Chicago.
And yeah, and then-- and then, I said, how bad is that?
Because he was quite hot.
And then, they go, oh, I wouldn't
let my daughter date him.
So I said, OK, and I ended it.
So the FBI has really helped me.
HASAN MINHAJ: OK.
(LAUGHING) I can't believe I'm saying that.
[applause]
I do love the FBI.
The peaks and valleys of that story
is kind of like Machu Picchu.
Yeah, OK.
HASAN MINHAJ: OK.
Obviously, you founded this amazing app.
And--
Not many females in tech.
Yeah.
So I was like, let me get in there.
It's an amazing-- Yeah, OK.
That's an amazing accomplishment.
[cheering, applause]
How do you think this app would have changed
your life five years ago?
Um, I think it would have--
I was someone who, like--
I was kind of dating guys, but I didn't
think I was 100% straight.
But I just-- I grew up in a very conservative
Christian background, and so I never quite explored
that area, whereas the cool thing with Fluid is, like,
maybe a woman would have popped up,
and I would have been like, oh, yeah.
And there's no judgments to, like, chat
to someone on Fluid, and you would have just chatted
to them, and maybe I would have, like, gotten
to know somebody quicker.
Yeah, so I kind of wish it was around earlier,
and that's why I wanted to make it and put it
out there, and have it be a free app
that people could download.
And hopefully, it will help lots of people find love.
And you could be, like, totally straight on it.
You could be gay.
You could be, like, in any of the intersectional queerness
that's out there, and find love on this.
And it actually just widens the dating pool.
And sure, some people you won't be interested
in, and then the algorithm will learn not to send
you too many of those people.
But they might show you a wild card.
It's like when you're shopping for, like, a cheesecake,
and you might not know what flavor you want until you
see it in front of you. HASAN MINHAJ: Right.
And then, yeah--
[cheering, applause]
And you're like, oh, yeah--
That's amazing.
That's tasty.
Everyone, please be sure to check
out the Fluid dating app.
Rebel Wilson, thank you so much.
Thank you.
