ah finding love probably one of the most
common struggles we all face
at one point in our lives yet as we've
grown more connected online than ever
before and moved into giant cities
a lot of people still seem to struggle
making genuine connections
with each other so that gave us an idea
what if we gave ourselves three days to
create a legit matchmaking business
that could get 40 single people in the
same room and push them to seek
discomfort to get to know each other
faster than they've ever gotten to know
any other stranger
beforehand since we want the challenge
to be turning this into a legitimate
business the event will be paid entry
and the entire operation had to be paid
for with the money we made from the
tickets
so we visited our friends esteban and
jackie who's thrown events like this in
the past
to ask for help
a dance a dude a yes a favorite a yes a
video
that's your girlfriend right yeah this
is yeah
he does that for the boys no really
didn't do that for me so we're starting
a matchmaking business or what jackie
doesn't know
anything about this
i have no idea why you guys are here
well we have a facebook group the yes
fan facebook group
and we've heard stories about different
members like subscribers meeting up and
ending updating we've gotten dms
messages from people being like i've
found the love of my life so we had this
idea
to start a matchmaking business that's a
better pitch than
thomas hey i like to go straight to the
point matchmaking businesses
what we want to do is just figure out a
way to get a twist i guess like the yes
theory discomfort
twist to put people on the spot the
first hour is going to be difficult
because people are
going to be frustrated i meet thomas
it's a connection and then i have to
move
right and it's someone like matt who i'm
like oh what
compared to thomas oh but then i have to
keep going
you know but not like fun to talk to no
no these are dude these were just random
names i chose
and then i go to ammar and i go he's the
best one random example right
what dude and then i fall in love with
darren you guys remember
after spending the rest of the afternoon
planning the most yes theory matchmaking
event we could think of
we had two more things to do before
thursday first
find 40 people who'd be willing to not
only participate but actually
pay to come and second finance set up a
venue all within the budget
from the tickets we had a lot of work
ahead of us so let's just say we were
extremely excited
to get started
what do you do i feel like it's always
the beginning of these things you see
the mountain
and you ask yourself do i want to climb
that it's gonna be really stressful
once we have the venue we can set up the
page and then we're just gonna have to
sell
tonight and tomorrow that's where i find
the most discomfort isn't selling just i
hate selling
i like giving for free that's what it is
right we're starting a business son
this is the ultimate test of are we
creating a service that is interesting
enough for people to want to pay for
oh boy let's jump in and sell tickets to
an event that we don't have a venue for
people who will be potentially creeped
out hopefully not though cause then our
business will be bankrupt
hello hi hello hello hello
are you still single
would you be interested in coming to a
singles event
tomorrow
[Music]
who is super um
[Laughter]
we need some dudes too right that's all
all girls right now dude
if you have the women the men come
they're like little seagulls they flock
[Music]
finding a venue that we could afford
turned out to be a lot harder than we
expected we called our friend mia who
knows a lot of private clubs and venue
owners in los
angeles but they were all outside of our
budget
and then out of nowhere we remembered
someone
so we just remembered that we have a
friend his name's austin that amar
actually met while trying to swap his
room with a stranger for 24 hours
and he has a massive house so maybe we
can call him and ask him if he's down
let us host it there that's one option
that would probably be for free
hello sir yes theory is throwing a
matchmaking event so we're looking for
a place where we can host 40 people and
a bunch of different rooms
[Music]
16 tickets sold so if we include
austin's roommates we have 21 and 10
boom who are these people i've been
dming a bunch of random people
and it's gonna be fine all right did
that venue to go it is
12 20. oh my god we have six hours
the main thing is now we're charging
people so we just gotta make it worth
their time so yeah we're gonna get some
good food get some good guests
and make the venue look like we put
minimum effort
minimum more than minimum effort
make it look like we put our minimum
effort here
no give us twenty dollars moment of
truth
it's one corner this is another one it's
way better than i expected slash
remember
who's here thanks for letting us have
your house thanks for watching this
party dude let us know
where you need help with all right stay
here as long as you want okay
okay we gotta figure out what they're
gonna do when they're here so we need
that
for such a fraud that's not fraud i
would call that uh
false advertising take it till you make
it dude how are we looking on tickets
we have 25 tickets sold and austin's
roommates that's five more people and
what's the what's the revenue right now
revenue is six hundred and three dollars
boom we are making so much money we can
just not even throw the event and just
keep the cash and we'll have you guys
deal with all the people that show up
here just turn off all the lights and
then
matt how you feeling now excited i think
it'll be very fun he was freaking out
this morning
figure out a way
[Music]
101 101.71 cents 5.99
under the budget
[Music]
168.23
it wouldn't be a yes theory episode if
we didn't try to get strangers on the
street tonight we're throwing a
matchmaking event
show up be split up there's a different
group and there's going to be a bunch of
fun ways to get to know new people
and there's food there's drinks there's
20 bucks to show up but it's going to be
freaking worth it and we're trying to
find strangers off the street would be
spontaneous enough to say yes or just
show up maybe yeah
sounds awesome cool send you like the
the details likewise cheers brother i'm
having dinner with my parents tonight
but otherwise i would totally say
all right i'll see you there man with
two hours to make this venue look like a
proper matchmaking venue
feeling it now feeling the nerves why
this is what a drink statement looks
like
ah ceremonies
yes good
good it's good
well hopefully everyone thinks they're
going to be
all right it is actually 6 30. guests
are supposed to get here in 30 minutes
we're still trying to patch up the last
few details
matt esteban and jackie are trying to
figure out the different corners and
what activity is going to be happening
it's going to be a lot of discomfort and
hopefully a lot of matching happening
tonight
doors open in 13 [ __ ] minutes and
we're just running through the agenda
right now
[Music]
man
[Music]
oh my god welcome
i'm glad my wife doesn't know i'm here
all right everybody
welcome to yes theory's first ever
matchmaking event
esteban and jackie right here have
hosted events like this before
they are our official hosts for the
night but before we start this is going
to be a no phones event
turn it off and put it in the bucket
right there this will be the ultimate
way to keep you guys all present
so we're gonna start the night out for
some really easy just like get to know
you
see who's in the room we're just gonna
say a thing like if you're an only child
and if you are you're gonna walk across
this circle so you'll just be like huh
these are my people we're both
broken in the same way walk across the
circle
if in yesterday fashion you've been
skydiving
okay walk across the circle if you've
ever pooped your pants
right now right now right now i am
pooping my pants right now i'm so scared
what we're going to do is men if you
want to form a circle in the middle
women you're going to form a circle on
the outside and try to partner up every
minute and a half we're going to say
stop and then you will switch partners
first one is what is
one good quality and one bad quality
that your ex would say about you
look at these questions baby look at
these questions they're talking so much
it's so hard to stop them
we're gonna do something a little
different you are gonna see
how many times you can smile in 15
seconds it's gonna be intense like it'll
it'll be like
as close to their hands as possible
without touching no one is like the
leader but your hands are going to move
okay now the activities begin what's
gonna happen is there are eight
different sections in the house so
in the line you're gonna pick a number
out of the hat and with that number
you'll know we're gonna go
close their eyes if you go to one raise
your hand
can you see anything no i can't okay
perfect you're gonna sit right here
there's a couch
yep there you go
there's a lot of pieces here the whole
big bang
when do you feel most alive without
music and dancing
probably when i'm traveling like by
myself i went to london so it's your
like hometown
thank you all for coming first thing you
gotta do is
find a partner and start start kissing
[Music]
if you get the same numbers before just
put it back and grab a different one
the world is ending and you can only
save
one person on this elevator to
repopulate the earth with
okay oh it's gonna be you only because
you're the only person i had a
conversation with then you're in the guy
i've had a conversation with properly
that i can repopulate the other side

sense thank you what if i told you my

cooking they like looked at each other
and people doing
eye contact skinning like it's
interesting it's super intense
[Music]
based on what you know of the other
person now would you be interested
in a first kiss with them
[Music]
like every single yes theory event slash
idea it starts
with just something very vague but an
ambition to connect people and
tonight we you know improvised a lot of
it and i think it worked out way better
than we could have expected so thank you
guys a lot for playing along
well so this is the end of the yes
theory matchmaking event yeah
but but there's one last thing
that we're gonna need to do it's very
serious busy
we did it
our first ever matchmaking event turned
out so much better than we could have
ever
expected as goofy as some of the moments
were being vulnerable and uncomfortable
in a controlled environment
can truly be one of the best ways to
connect with someone
you've never met before and so we now
want to end this video with a challenge
to you we want you to take a friend or
if you're brave enough even a crush that
you don't know very well yet on an
adventure to do something you've both
never done before and see if that
affects your connection
let us know how it goes i will see you
next week
we started a match making business
that's what happened absolutely way
better than i ever could have imagined
maybe we should start a real business
into this
why are you talking like that now
because i like to make money
i like to make money go to the bank cash
cash inside
