- So Mark, what do you do for work?
- Currently I am an event planner,
and I do parties and weddings.
In the past I've had different occupations,
one of which was a male exotic dancer
in Berlin, Germany.
- Awesome.
- Okay Brian, so what do you do?
- I'm a talent agent for
independent musicians,
and mechanical engineer.
- And what do you do Garrett?
- So right now I'm a controller
which nobody knows what that is.
So basically I'm like a bookkeeper,
accountant for a couple of small businesses.
- I'm a tour guide.
I do city tours
by bus or boat.
- Mark, what are you passionate about?
- I'm very passionate about animal rescue,
and I tend to donate time as a DJ to boxer rescue
'cause that's my breed of choice.
- [Nathalie] What about your family?
- We're a family of five.
I have two younger siblings so I'm the oldest.
My father was a land surveyor, mechanical engineer,
and now he's doing like a lot of security.
- Okay so you went to mechanical engineer school
because of your father.
- Right, right, that's initially
what led me to even wanna be an engineer,
just kinda follow in his footsteps.
- What are you very passionate about?
- The thing that I love the most is
playing basketball.
Unfortunately I have not played in a year
because
of injury.
- So Nathalie, tell me a little bit about your family.
- My mom is retired, she was an engineer,
building engineer.
- Nice.
And how about your brother?
- He did study physics and astronomy.
- Oh gosh, you guys, you're a pretty smart family.
- Mark, you had mentioned that
you were divorced and remarried.
You're happily remarried this time?
- I am happily remarried.
We took a nice long time to make sure that
we were the right person for each other,
and then having done about 2500 weddings in my career,
I said we're going to do the anti-wedding.
We're not gonna do the standard order of everything.
- What's the special talent you have that
no one would be able to guess by looking at you?
- I don't know, I think it's between
like rollerskating and jazz improv
with a trumpet.
- I picture you
in an
early 50s.
Still you got a good like head of hair on you.
It's like a light brown.
I wanna say maybe he's wearing like a
kinda like rolled up sleeves,
top button unbuttoned, casual shirt,
and
some boat shoes on.
- European woman.
I'm thinking Ukraine.
I'm gonna go with 32.
I think she's wearing heels
and kind of like a collared shirt,
like oxford or something like that.
- I'm assuming he's in his 20s
'cause of the timbre of his voice.
I see the hair as maybe dirty blond, tousled.
I imagine probably a Pendleton with the sleeves rolled up.
He might be wearing shorts,
he might be wearing a light fabric of khaki.
Shoes, probably he's wearing sneakers.
- I think he's Caucasian
because what you said about like
that no one would imagine
that you could play the trumpet.
I think he was born in Alabama.
Yeah maybe around 30 years old.
I think he has
a blue shirt, jeans.
I think he has sneakers.
You.
- So where are you really from?
- Sweden.
- Nice, I got the European a little bit.
- [Nathalie] Yeah exactly.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I didn't get the jeans.
I didn't get boots. - I got the jeans.
- I said kind of like an oxford shirt
like dressy type shirt.
- My first impression was like 30.
- I'm 25.
I said 32.
- Yeah.
I'm that.
- Alright. - Nice to meet you.
- He does have glasses.
- I thought you were in your early 50s.
- I'm in my early 50s, I'm 53.
- Okay. - I'm taking this many meds.
- That's good, that's good.
- I thought he was in his 20s.
- I'm 31.
- 31, okay.
You've surpassed the 20s
but you're still in your young 30s.
- I said like a roll up, buttoned up.
- Right.
- You're in a polo so wrong, wrong on that.
- So wrong on the shirts.
I thought that he might have
a flannel shirt on with the sleeves rolled up.
Oh he's got nice,
what do you call those?
Spectators.
- Yeah.
And I said boat shoots, way off.
- No I'm just, I haven't had boat shoes since high school,
but when I was in high school it was the thing.
- What threw you off about,
I guess, me being jazz improv with the trumpet?
- Because, I mean, when I think of jazz,
I think more of like Black people,
and then when you said that no one would expect,
and I was like, oh, so then he looked like
someone I wouldn't picture playing the trumpet or jazz.
- Got you.
- Because of the way he phrased it
where you said, "I've been doing weddings for a long time,
"but then I was an exotic dancer for two years,"
it just seemed playful, I guess, yeah.
- After it was, I was going to study screenwriting anyway,
and I said, well, this will have a lot interesting material
if I got to go from starving college student
living on tap ramen to living in Berlin, Germany
which at the time I had no way of affording going there.
And they said, "We'll put you up in an apartment,
"we'll set you up with a gym,
"we'll set you up with a tanning salon."
- [Nathalie] Okay.
- That was it, it was a pleasure meeting you.
- [Nathalie] Nice meeting you too.
- You're actually pretty tall.
- Oh I have heels.
- You're like hovering over me.
