- I haven't had any great romances yet.
I'm sort of perpetually chronically single
I suppose you could say, but I will admit
I have fallen for a lot of dancers
because dancers tend to have really just amazing butts.
- I've been in two serious relationships
they were both like 2 1/2, three years.
I'm just like ready to like,
I think make number three like, the one.
- Your name is Alex and this is your story.
You're 25 years old, you work in tech,
grew up New York City, and are Hispanic.
- All right, so my name is Peter,
I'm 28 years old, I work for a fragrance company in sales.
I grew up on Long Island, New York, and I'm Italian.
So your name is Harry, and this is your story.
You're 40 years old, you're a business man,
you grew up in Missouri, and your cultural
or ethnic background is German.
- My name's Dave. - Okay.
- I'm 38, not 40 yet, I work in digital marketing.
I grew up near Syracuse, and my cultural
ethnic background Russian, Ukrainian some Jewish,
but mostly over there.
- Okay, cool.
- You're not the first person who's like says like
you look like a Harry.
- You know what, I just looked at you and I was like
the first thing that came to my mind,
you thought I work in tech?
- I don't know, you kinda just have like this
tech, business sort of vibe going.
- I'm definitely not go with tech so,
I think that as a compliment actually.
- People think and assume that like,
I'm a Italian Guido type, maybe I could come off
as a little like, high maintenance and diva-ish sometimes
but I mean I'm a really sweet person deep down .
- Assumptions people make about me tend to be
that I am in charge or something and that I voted
for Trump, but I was on a train
and some of the school kids were on the subway car
which is like, betcha he voted for Trump.
It's like, yeah, look at that asshole.
I'm like, Uh, I just took my Hilary button
off my briefcase yesterday.
I thought maybe you got to bed a little early,
like 9:00 p.m. ish.
Unexpected skill or talent you possess?
I don't know, I feel like maybe, interior decorating maybe.
You seem like a smart kinda guy
so I thought maybe you would, maybe try to take on learning
Chinese or something like that, you know,
like a hard language.
- Not entirely off. - Okay.
- I actually get to bed around midnight
sometimes even later.
Unexpected skill or talent, I forget what you said.
- I said like maybe like interior decorating.
You seem like you would have like a very neat home.
- I'm probably okay at it, but most people
are surprised to either find out that
I'm really handy with tools,
doing everything from like, computer repair
to like building furniture.
- That's unexpected, I wouldn't have guessed that.
- If I want to speak another language
I've always been like, fascinated with Japan
and really want to go visit there.
For you, go to bed around midnight.
Unexpected skill or talent you possess might be singing.
If you could speak another language
you would wanna speak Italian if you don't already.
- I go to be around midnight, may
be a little later depends you know, depending if I take,
like, NyQuil or something.
What did you say unexpected skill, singing?
Yes that's actually true .
I would definitely like to speak Italian
I don't right now but my dad is from Sicily
so he speaks it.
I heard it my whole life basically,
and I took it in school too, but I don't
speak it fluently so I would definitely like to learn it.
- That's cool.
I was raised by two godless pinko atheists
although since part of my father's side of the family
is Jewish we did go to Temples,
I could learn about that part of my heritage,
but in terms of primary cultural influences,
I'd say Star Trek, The Next Generation was a pretty big one.
Maybe followed by Seinfeld and The Simpsons.
- I come from a big Italian family.
I grew up eating like a huge bowl of pasta
every night for dinner, like that was normal to me.
And I was like chubby my whole life.
So like after high school I just like really buckled down
and so like this is not how I imagine myself looking
for the rest of my life,
so I lost like 70 pounds like altogether.
You know, it's something to work at every day.
Being of service to others means a lot to you.
I said you didn't grow up practicing religion.
Your current relationship with god or creator
is close I think.
- Being of service to others, it definitely
is important to me, especially
if they're people I care about.
Trying to support people emotionally
and occasionally brutally criticize them
and hope that they don't hate me for it.
Don't believe in a god or creator,
raised that way,
but I said like, no empirically, like there's
absolutely no way, I'm like, no, just 'cause it's not
a reality that I've felt or experienced.
Doesn't mean it isn't true
and isn't real for other peoples' hearts.
Current relationship status with god
or creator is single I guess.
For you, being of service to others means
helping them in what they do.
You were raised catholic and I think
you have an okay relationship with god or creator.
- Being of service to others, I mean,
I think at the end of the day I just wanna make people
believe in themselves you know.
Maybe what they can't see.
I did grow up Catholic,
I mean I used to go to church
every Sunday as kid, you know,
Me and my brother we didn't enjoy it
but I go to church like, you know, for Christmas
and Easter now, you know,, the important things.
I think I have like a okay relationship
with god or whoever it may be.
Like I just went on a trip and flew on a plane
so I was definitely saying prayers before that.
- You mentioned you have a brother?
- I have two brothers-- - Two brothers.
- And a sister, my older brother and sister
are actually almost 50.
- Wow, big gap between like the two batches of kids.
Yeah.
I mean my mom had my older brother when she was like 19,
and she had my younger brother when she was like 42.
- Wow.
- She's a fertile woman I guess you can say.
Do you have siblings?
- No, only child. - How was that?
- Now that my parents are a lot older
and I have to help them out with a lot of stuff
sometimes it's like, I really wish that it's like
I had siblings that's like I could share what with.
I'm close with like friends I made back
when I was like six, seven years old, so--
- Awesome.
- So they're almost like brothers, yeah.
- It's like like friends that turn into family you know.
- Yeah.
- Sometimes you need those to the most you know.
It's gotta be a good mix I think.
- Okay so at the beginning of this little sit down
that we just had, I said that
I wouldn't go on a date with you.
But then after like, we sat and we chatted
a little bit I said the same thing.
I don't want you to take offense,
but I think you're really cool,
maybe we could be friends.
- Yeah.
- [Peter] What did you think?
- Well when I first saw you I thought
not my usual type but I love getting to know new people
so I said, I would go out with you.
- That's cool.
- After our conversation there was
nothing that came up that would particularly
dissuade me from that, so I stuck with that.
- That's really sweet.
You're a real friendly guy, I think you're easy to talk to.
You have really nice skin.
- Oh, thank you.
- You see I have plenty of nice things to say but--
- No offense taken. - All right.
- Absolutely. - All right, cool.
- No but it was really cool getting to know you.
- Yeah I'm glad, I'm glad I got to meet you.
- And maybe I can-- - Chill.
- Go chill with ya out on the Island sometime--
- Why not?
- When the beaches aren't crazy.
- You're familiar with the Islands, so there you go.
- Exactly.
- It was a pleasure meeting you.
- [Dave] It was a pleasure meeting you too.
