- Is this like, one, two, three?
Or like, one, two, three, go?
(bell chime) - Okay, this isn't working.
- What does that mean?
Will you marry me?
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
- Go to Mexico and do some drugs.
I'm just kidding. (laughs)
- [Producer] Would you go on a second date?
(explosion)
- [Producer] Two singles will experience a
simulation of the first four stages of a
so-called traditional relationship.
Date, move in, marriage, baby.
Each stage comes with a challenge.
If they succeed, they receive an advantage
to help them in the next round.
In the end, they'll decide if a Lifetime of Love
will lead to a second date.
- Hi, I'm Jess.
I am 33 years old and I work in legal cannabis sales.
- My name is Thomas DiMassimo.
I am 26 years old, and I guess I'm a film student.
- I have been single for a little over a year now.
- I've been single about a year.
- I really like musicians and artists.
- Curvy... oh, so sorry, that's my phone.
- Physical type,
my roommate would say that I like guys
who look like lumberjacks.
- Having, like, a good phone voice.
I don't know, that does a lot for me.
Like sounding sexy on the phone.
- Very liberal, maybe a little socialist.
- If you're like a republican or something,
like, yeah, don't even.
- It's really hard to explain,
but y'all should google Hyperianism.
- Yeah, I do believe in God.
- Momma's boys are a big no.
Hard no.
Never, ever, ever, no, ever,
ever, no.
- Yeah, definitely, hardcore.
Moms rock.
- Hot, always.
- Hot. - Summer, always.
- Summer.
- Why not both cats and dogs?
- Dogs.
- I like coffee and tea.
- Tea.
How you doing?
- This would be so awkward if we know each other.
- You know, I had that thought.
- Hello. - Hello.
- I'm Jess.
- I'm Tommy. - Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- He immediately reminded me of my younger brother,
who I adore, but would never date.
- She seemed, like, very wise right away.
Maybe it's 'cause of all the rings and stone and (beep).
Is that like a stone or something?
- This is an arrowhead, I believe it's obsidian.
- [Tommy] Does it do anything?
- [Jess] If you want to believe it does, it does.
- [Producer] The couple is on their first date.
They have 10 minutes to draw a portrait of each other
doing an activity they think their partner enjoys.
If correct, they receive an advantage in the next challenge.
- I just want to go ahead an apologize
for this drawing of you.
- That's okay.
- This is already not going well.
- I apologize if my drawing makes you
feel bad about your drawing.
(couple laughs)
- So, I don't know if you've read the book
on the five love languages.
Do you know what yours are, if you have?
- Probably, like, acts of service.
What's yours?
- I like giving things, quality time is extremely important.
- Do you feel like this is quality time right now?
- Sure, I mean, it's not something I would usually do,
just on a count of I don't drink, but.
- Oh, you don't drink alcohol at all?
- No. (laughs)
- Oh, do you have a problem with alcohol?
- No, I just feel like it just isn't
a healthy drug for people to use.
What kind of sense of humor do you have?
- (beep) terrible.
I don't know, like, videos of people
tripping and falling and stuff like that.
I guess that's pretty lowbrow.
'Cause they just have no idea that it's coming.
- A little cruel.
- Yeah, well, you know.
Life's a little cruel.
- If you look at it that way, I suppose.
- Okay, so this is,
this is an expressionistic
work of you.
This is you digging for obsidian.
And that's meant to symbolize, like, your journey for,
you know, your spiritual self.
You're digging deep into a (laughs)
quarry of obsidian.
- He actually did a lot better than I expected.
It wasn't a stick figure, so he did put some effort into it.
This is Tommy playing video games.
- Does she think I'm like, I don't know, some, like,
dude sitting in his boxers, eating Cheetos,
playing video games all day?
'Cause, like, I'm not.
I feel like that was a little shady.
She made my beard, like, not filled in all the way beards
and my beard's pretty full, so.
I think this is a pretty accurate image of me.
- I'm not against geology.
In terms of, like, the spiritual growth and all that stuff
like the metaphorical level,
I don't know if you kinda just threw that out there or not,
but yeah, that's kinda my shit.
- [Producer] The couple is moving in together.
They have 10 minutes to build a stepstool.
Because they won the last reward,
they're given instructions.
Finish in time and they'll receive
an advantage in the next stage.
- Let's make this Bekvam. - Yeah.
- Are these beveling out or in?
In.
- You knew right where to look.
That would've taken me a long time.
- So, what makes you a bad roommate?
- I like personal space.
I just, after a while am like,
okay, I need to not see your face.
- I am not gonna disagree with it.
If I ever live with someone again, I want my own room.
- I've definitely thought about that, like, separate beds.
- Aw (beep), this is the front.
See, it's got the little hole.
- Aw (beep), okay. (Jess laughs)
So we just need to take this out.
- Ah. (laughs)
- It's okay, it's okay we know what we're doing.
- I have a feeling we are not
gonna get this done in 10 minutes.
- I have faith in us.
What would you do if I was in the shower
and you needed to use the restroom?
- Pee. (laughs)
- Would you go number two?
- Out of politeness and the fact that there would be
humidity and possible stench and
that's just not a good combo, no.
- Yeah, I could do pee, that's not a problem.
- So I was dating a guy once who had the flu
and we were living together and I'm not gonna lie,
he (beep) the bed.
What are you gonna do, you help him, you know?
- That's super nice 'cause I think I would hesitate a lot.
- It's one of those things where, like,
bodily functions, everyone (beep) has them.
- Yeah. - If you can't handle that
then you've got some different maturity issues.
- I thought it was really impressive that she said that
she took care of one of her ex's number two's
'cause I don't think I have the strength.
If that's unconditional love,
I might, I don't know, I might not have it.
Yeah. - [Producer] Two minutes.
- I don't know, oh (beep).
Well, that really escalated pretty quickly.
- Faster, faster. - Yeah.
I am really (beep) trying.
- I believe in you.
- So, uh, have you ever been engaged before?
- Not in my eyes.
- What does that mean?
- So, I had someone I was living with,
we were at a party and we were both really drunk
and he asked me if I would marry him.
And I was standing in line for the bathroom and I was like,
"Uh, sure." (laughs)
And I went in the bathroom and I came back out
and he had told people I was gonna marry him, so.
- Well, to be fair, you did say you were going to marry him.
- Yes, but he was, like, calling friends and family.
(timer dings)
- I think this is fine work.
I think of this more like an installation piece.
Kinda like, we look at this off in the corner of our house
and think about the day we moved in together.
And it's kinda like meaningful in that way.
- Or we just finish it later.
- Do we, though?
That's the question.
- Yes.
- Oh, so you would want to finish this?
- Yes.
- I got you, okay.
- I would, like, even if we had to
be somewhere in five minutes, I'd be like,
"We're fixing this when we get back."
Or even if you went home and passed out,
I'd be in the living room at, like, one in the morning like.
- This is gonna bug you if this is undone.
- Yes, because someone might step in
and then it's an insurance liability.
- [Producer] The couple is getting married.
They have $100,000 to plan a wedding.
If they can't agree on how to spend their money
in 10 minutes, they win no advantage for the final stage.
They lost the last challenge and did not
receive an extra $20,000.
- How much is this worth?
- I think it's just us voting.
- Oh, okay.
- So just to clarify, this is my day.
I'm just kidding. (laughs) - No, I mean, yeah.
- No, I don't, no.
I don't believe that, I think that's super (beep) up.
I initially made a joke that it was my day
and he kinda went with it.
When it came to the marriage, he was kind of a pushover.
I wouldn't want someone to just do
what I want to do just because I wanted it and
because I said something like that.
- Well, I'm gonna let my wife do whatever she wants.
I don't know, I just want my wife to be happy.
- Whatever we're doing, I want it to be well documented.
- Okay, yeah, that's legit.
- I'm gluten-free, so I don't give a (bleep) about cake.
- Flowers important to you?
- Yeah, decor matters.
Can we have weed-infused buffet?
- Yeah, whatever you want.
50 person guest wedding or 150?
- I'm one of seven kids.
- So, 150? - Yeah.
So what are we gonna do with our last five grand?
I vote we keep the five grand.
- Yeah, let's do it.
- Lets go to Mexico and do some drugs.
I'm just kidding. (laughs)
Do we just nix the whole wedding and elope?
- See, that's really my energy, if you want--
- Great, I'm more of like, can we just, like, throw it out
and just go to the forest and bring, like,
six people and, like, a weird dude?
- She want to get married in the (beep) woods
and dress up like elves, that's fine.
If that's what you want. - Well, it should be a
group decision, for sure.
- So we're keeping all this, we're gonna--
- Destination, weird wedding - Yeah, destination,
weird wedding - [Jess] In some weird park.
- In a forest of some kind.
- We have 10K to do with afterward for
an ayahuasca ceremony, in which all of our guests
(beep) themselves. (laughs)
- What is it? - [Producer] Ayahuasca.
- I've never heard of that.
That's where I would draw the line with my wife.
We're not inviting our friends to come
(beep) in a forest with us on our wedding day.
(wedding music)
- Sweet.
- So.
I know this is scary, you've been here before.
- No, I haven't. (couple laughs)
Not with a ring.
- Not with a ring, not for real.
Will you marry me?
- Sure, yes, I do.
- Awesome. - [Jess] Sweet.
Oh wait, I'm supposed to give you a ring, too.
Do you accept this token of my never-ending affection?
Will you marry me?
You know that (beep). - Yeah, of course.
- Okay cool. - I got you.
- No sorry, Tommy, didn't want a kiss.
- I'm not gonna lie, proposal was pretty romantic.
Maybe part of me got caught up in the moment there
and I was like, "If that's your wife,
"you should kiss her, right?"
But then I'm like, "It's not your wife, bro." (laughs)
- So, are we gonna have a baby?
- Can we adopt?
- I think we should. - [Jess] I think we should.
- I think that'll become clear
in the next part, why we should.
- [Producer] The couple must name and agree
on how to raise their new child.
Because they received the last advantage, a babysitter
will come take care of the baby for five minutes.
- It's alive, I think.
- Yeah.
- Is it alive?
So my abs have bounced back really well,
but, like-- (baby crying)
- Oh my God.
- Do you want to pick it up or
do you know how to pick up a baby?
- Yeah, I know how to pick up a baby.
- Okay.
- Well now I'm self conscious.
Now I'm like, "Do I know how to pick up a baby?"
Okay.
Please.
- [Jess] You did it. - It's gonna be okay.
My child.
- Do you have any preference on names?
Have you thought about baby names?
- Yeah, I'ma be honest, I'm like a big "Lion King" fan.
Anything from "The Lion King" would be pretty dope.
- He just went from being, like, this kind of dude, dude
to like, all of a sudden, you could just see his inner-child
in him light up and it was really cute and sweet.
- Imagine being five and watching that movie.
You're like, "Holy (beep)."
It's like watching, I don't know,
somebody paint the Sistine Chapel,
like, if you got to be there when it happened.
It could be Nala.
It could be Simba, Kiara.
You know, like, anything like--
- Kiara is a name in "The Lion King"?
- Well, I think it's "Lion King 2" but--
- There's a sequel?
- How 'bout this, you take the first name
and I'll take the middle name.
- Henry.
- Henry
Mufasa.
(baby crying) - [Jess] Here,
do you want me to take it?
- Yeah, of course, I don't think I'm doing a very good job.
- Hey, baby.
Here, suck on my finger, shut up.
Okay, this isn't working. - I'm just like,
"whatever you want, man." - Do we have a bottle?
- No, there's nothing there. - Well, do we give it a toy?
Here, please entertain the child--
- Please, stop crying. - While I slowly bounce it.
- Teddy bear. - Do you want to sing to it?
- What do we sing? - Sing to Henry.
- You have such a lovely singing voice, remember when--
- How do you know?
- Remember when you sang at our wedding?
That was so beautiful. - I did?
- Yeah, you should sing some more.
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you, ♪ ♪ Happy birthday to you, ♪
♪ Happy birthday ♪ ♪ Happy birthday, Henry Mufasa ♪
(Jess laughs)
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
- [Producer] What do you guys think of
electronics at the dinner table?
- Electronics at the dinner table is a no-go.
- I don't know.
I think I might be on my phone a little bit.
When we started disagreeing on that and the baby was crying,
that was probably the most real part of the whole (beep).
Like we're really in this, like, we're stuck.
If I see a funny video while I'm sitting at the
dinner table, you just want me to wait till after?
- Well, you wouldn't see the funny video
if your focus is on us.
- Well, my focus would mostly be on you guys
but I'd probably just have my phone, like, down to the side
a little bit and just kinda, like, checking.
If I'm scrolling through my phone and I find a video that's
really funny and I show you a funny video,
you're not gonna be like, "How dare you check your
"phone at the table", you're gonna be like,
"Oh wow, that's a funny video.
"I'm glad you showed that to me."
- You're at a dinner table where you're with people
you supposedly love, that you have a family with, that's--
- I don't think my love is measured by me
checking my phone or not checking my phone.
- Ah, but my love language is quality time.
- Okay. - Well, how would you feel
if you were having a special dinner with your kid
and he's pulling out his phone while you're talking to him
about some important life thing.
- You know-- - And then he'd be like,
"Well you do it, dad."
- Maybe, in a way, I'd be proud because I'd be seeing him
mirror some of my own qualities.
- Are those qualities that you want him to repeat?
Cats in The Cradle.
(baby crying) - Okay, listen.
- Baby does not like us arguing.
- I am so sorry.
I will never check my phone during dinner.
- Oh, hello, babysitter. - Oh, thank God.
- Thank you for this.
Wow, I can't believe it's been 17 years
and little Henry Mufasa went to college early.
- He went to Harvard at the age of 14.
I'm so proud of him.
- You raised an amazing, brilliant child.
- I mean, you did help, so it was a team effort.
- A lot. (laughs) - A team effort.
- [Producer] How was your first date?
- That was intense, I'm not gonna lie.
I guess it is weird, I guess I'm sort of
emotionally recoiling now and realizing like,
how much I just learned about you in a short period of time.
- [Producer] Would you go on a second date?
Three,
two,
one.
- No. - Probably not.
- But we can hang out as friends.
- Oh, hardcore, yeah.
- I'm glad we didn't have sex.
It would've ruined it.
- [Tommy] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can be friends.
- We can be friends.
We realized we have stuff in common,
but it's just not marriage material.
- Right, right, right. - Yeah.
- My dating plans now?
I'm going with the flow.
Like a spec of dust in the wind.
- If you're down to start a cult, I'm quite single. (laughs)
- I don't think you need to know everything
about a person on the first date.
- [Producer] But don't you feel like this
would save you time, you know?
It's like, it's good to know upfront
that you're not a match?
- But people change.
I don't want to be beholden to something I thought I was
or believed in on the first date.
Who knows, by the end of it, maybe
I would be open to ayahuasca.
Maybe I'm just being, I don't know,
weird about it right now and it's actually the thing
holding me back from true happiness.
- Are you Italian?
- I am. - I am, too!
- Oh my God.
- [Jess] Wow, okay, cool. - [Tommy] Yeah, yeah.
That makes sense.
Well, it was really dope.
- [Jess] It was nice meeting you.
- [Tommy] Having a lifetime of love.
- [Jess] I'm gonna add you on Instagram.
- [Tommy] Oh yeah, for sure, definitely.
- Then you're gonna find out how weird I really am. (laughs)
- [Tommy] I'm with it, yeah, for sure.
(piano tune)
- Which way?
- [Tommy] Separate ways.
