- It has been very easy to talk to you.
And for you to seem like a person
who I would have a good day off with.
(intense classical music begins)
- [Narrator] A viral New York Times article
featured 36 questions that could
supposedly make any two people fall in love.
We wanted to see what would happen
if we asked these questions
to two complete strangers on a blind date.
- My name is Audrey.
I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri.
And I am so single.
- [Interviewer] And when was the last time that you did it?
- We're in this app age, so you know
I'll go on dates all the time.
I don't know.
But, a real relationship has been a while.
- My name is Kellyann. I'm from Atlanta.
My relationship status is whatever I want,
so I guess I'm single.
- [Producer] How do you feel?
- I feel great. I had a great breakfast.
It's beautiful outside and I'm ready for a blind date.
Let's do this. - What's about
to happen right now?
- I'm about to go on the weirdest date
I have ever been on. (door opening creakily)
Welcome to the weird date.
- Hello, nice to meet you. - Hi.
I'm Kellyann. - I'm Audrey.
Nice to meet.
I already said that, so I'll say it again.
- Okay, let's do the tea first.
- Okay, cheers. - I'm a little bit thirsty.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
Oh, it's chamomile.
So are we gonna do the questions?
- Oh, the questions.
I've already forgot. - Should we do that?
- Let's do it.
If you are going to become a close friend
with your partner, please share what would be
important for him or her to know.
- Okay, this is one that I'm gonna say
and everybody's going to hear it.
And I'm okay with that, - Okay.
- I think.
Everybody who is my good friend knows
and accepts that I'm very gassy.
- Okay. Hey, that happens.
- Everybody eats, everybody farts.
- It happens, it's a human thing.
- I do a lot of them.
- You're a professional.
- Yes. - That's cool.
- What's the one thing I need to know?
- I lose things constantly.
And, I don't have a wallet and I misplace my keys,
my debit card, and my license all the time.
- Yeah. - I have them all here today.
- Good, good job. - Wow.
- Oh, sorry.
- All good.
- It's the gassy,
oh no. - In action.
What do you value most in a friendship?
- Giggles.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I just wanna giggle.
- Yes. - It's, it doesn't have
to be more complicated than that.
- That's easy. - If you can make me laugh,
let's laugh. - Yeah.
- I wanna like almost pee my pants
when I hang out with people, from laughter.
- Yeah. - Not from incontinence.
Okay, what do you value most?
- Just someone who's chill
with being themselves with you
is so nice. - Yeah.
Honesty and giggles.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Those are two ingredients.
- Yeah, that's all you need.
- How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?
- I love her.
- Yeah! - She's great.
- Good. - She is awesome.
She's so kind and I wish she lived closer.
- Yeah, I know that feeling.
- Yeah. - Okay, I have two moms.
- Yes. - My older mom, Mom B,
she is the kind of person that everybody
loves automatically. - Yeah.
- She's like gregarious and bright.
And then my mom, my younger one is my birth mom.
And- - What is her name?
If she's, if that's not-
- She's just Mom.
- There's Mom and Mom B?
- Mom and Mom B, yeah.
She is like a genius.
- Yeah? - She's really good
at fixing things herself.
And she is the kind of person
who makes a lot of sacrifices for other people,
you know? - How did they meet?
- On a blind date.
- Incredible! What?
Name three things you and your partner
appear to have in common.
- Okay, let's talk about- - I've got the outfit.
- Look at the striped shirts.
- Yeah, you gotta have stripes.
- High-waisted, black pants.
- So outfit is checked off.
- We are in arts industry.
- Yes, true.
- We both would love to relax with coffee
in bed. Yes!
- That's a great one.
- A dream. - That's like
a very solid point. - Yes.
Yeah. - Yeah, good job.
- Yes! - Cool.
All right, next one then.
Oh Lord.
- What?
- What is true love?
- Okay.
- My current understanding of what true love might be
is just finding someone you can be your full self with,
all the goods and the bads. - I totally agree.
It's like having an extension of yourself.
You have to live with all of the good and bads in you.
- Right.
- And when you can fully accept that in somebody else
and be supported by them and support them,
through anything, that's true love.
All right, share a personal problem
and ask your partner's advice
on how she might handle it.
- Okay, huh.
Okay, personal problem, I've got a few.
I guess my biggest issue right now
is sort of finding the balance between working
a super demanding job and also finding time
to simultaneously pursue my own creative projects.
- That's so hard.
- Finding that balance is my problem right now.
- That's a very hard one.
- Yeah. - And I'm supposed
to give you advice, right?
- I guess so.
Give me the answer. - I don't know what to say.
I think you're doing a very normal struggle.
Keep struggling like that.
- Great, keep struggling. - It's only gonna
make you stronger.
- What about you?
- Okay. - Your personal problem.
- Personal problem, ugh you took mine.
- You can add the same problem
and I can relay the same information.
- I feel like it's in the exact same vein.
- Okay. - But my personal problem
is that I'm worried that I don't have
quite enough direction in what I'm doing.
And I'm worried that I'm floundering.
Sometimes it like crosses my mind
that like maybe I'm not working
toward any goal right now.
- I think that's so common for people
pursuing creative paths, in any sort.
- Yes. - But in terms
of not having enough direction, I'm sure that you do.
But I think just finding the thing
that you want to say to the world,
that only you could say, and sharing that through your work.
- Oh, how do you do that?
Teach me. - Teach me.
I'm working on it myself.
But, you of course have things
that are important to you.
And sort of putting those out proudly,
in whatever artistic shape that takes.
And standing by it.
And I know you can do that, yeah.
- Awe, thanks.
It's all about the journey. - I wanna see your work,
and your performances.
I can- - We'll exchange.
- Yes, we will.
- We can make this continue.
- Yes. - It'll work.
- All right, this might be the final question.
- Duh-duh-duh-duh dun-dun.
Oh, would you go on a second date with your partner?
- Yes! - Yeah, sure.
- Sounds good.
- Good. - Like we said,
we'll- - We already
reached this conclusion. - make this a thing.
- I wanna high five you again, but it's like
corny. - We can do it.
Let's do it. - Okay.
- Yes!
- We did two good high fives today.
- That's a good sign.
Were you looking at elbow?
- I was looking for the elbow.
That's the trick. - That's the key.
Good date.
- Good date.
(both chuckling)
- That's a wrap, folks. We did it.
Okay. (both laughing)
- Hey guys, it's Taylor.
- And I'm Toya.
