  • Hello and welcome back to the Lab where we take your questions and turn them into experiments.

  • My name is Mitch. I'm Greg. And what if I told you that there's a list of questions that can make you fall in love with a stranger?

  • Well, it turns out that there was actually a study done where they took a specific thirty-six questions,

  • had two complete strangers ask them to each other and increase the likelihood that they were fall in love.

  • And obviously in general, just doing one experiment doesn't prove anything.

  • We thought it would be awesome to get two strangers in here, force them to do this experiment, and see what happens.

  • So... this is what happend!

  • My name is Cam, and I'm twenty-four.

  • My name is Emily, and I'm twenty-two years old.

  • I'm nervous about today, to be perfectly honest.

  • I really wanna see that if the study works!

  • I think it'll be...you know what if we hate each other, or we don't like what we're saying.

  • I think it'll be cool to see if it's effective.

  • Hey! How's it going?

  • Great! How are you?

  • Emily, right? Yes. Cam.

  • - Cool. - Very nice to meet you.

  • Yeah, nice to meet you, too. Are you nervous at all for this?

  • - Yes. - Yeah, me too. We can just get started.

  • So, the first question...[Of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?]

  • Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

  • - Um, instinctually, I want to say Clint Eastwood. -Nice!

  • I would say...I really like Neil Armstrong or something like that.

  • [Would you like to be famous?] I think I would like to be famous, I guess.

  • Not an A-list celebrity or anything like that. Maybe a D-list one.

  • Or some people will know who you are. You know you'd be that guy.

  • [When did you last sing to yourself?] I sang to myself on the car right over here.

  • I was listening to Taylor Swift.

  • Nice! What's on?

  • The whole album.

  • Oh nice!

  • Like fearless. Not even her new stuff though.

  • [Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?] They're keeping the questions pretty alike as you can see.

  • I used to think I was gonna die very young in high school when I was anxious. Like I'm gonne be...It's gonna happen!

  • But then I hit 18 and I was like forget that Emily. You're gonna live to a hundred. You're making a century club.

  • [If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?] I've always wanted to be a good artist.

  • I'd like to be maybe a bit more...assertive.

  • Nah. Maybe not too much so though.

  • I don't wanna push people in doing things that they don't want to do.

  • [What is your most terrible memory?] My most terrible memory was the morning my sister called me to tell me that my mom had a heart attack.

  • Yeah. She's OK.

  • Ok. That's good to hear she's ok. But I could imagine that is terrifying.

  • Yeah. That was bad memory.

  • She's um...She's doing well? Yeah. She's doing well. She's doing very well..

  • I would say mine would be my grandma's mind just kind of started deteriorating.

  • Cause she lived with us for my whole life.

  • You know to see her forget who I am, call me a different name.

  • And she would wake up seven days. You know, she's a ninety-year old woman, and wonder why she didn't have school.

  • That's pretty terrible. I would say. So, yeah.

  • Yeah. That really hurts.

  • Um-hum.

  • [What roles do love and affection play in your life?] I know people need affection, and I do, too.

  • But I have to more like think about sometimes, my actions.

  • People need validation sometimes and they need to hear that or see, by touch, stuff like that.

  • Romantic love hasn't been a big role in my life for the past a little over years now.

  • I'm trying to be more cautious about who I give and receive that love from.

  • Because it is so important.

  • [Your house catches fire. If you could save any one item what would it be?] I have a stuffed animal called buster. He's a dog.

  • So...I've probably might saved buster.

  • Mine's fluffy. OK. Buster and fluffy should meet one day.

  • [Alternate sharing something consider a positive characteristic of your partner.] I was worried about this coming into it because I can't be a little bit awkward.

  • But you made me feel at ease.

  • You seem very cool and calm and confident at the same time.

  • So I guess thats' three. You definitely have a really good personality.

  • - I also like what you're wearing. - Oh. Thank you. - Those colors really complement to you.

  • And...make you look handsome.

  • - Cool. Thank you. - You're welcome.

  • - Um...I like your face. - Thank you.

  • It's a nice face.

  • - Your face is very symmetrical, ,which is something we subconsciously look for because I know that I can consciously look for. -Nice.

  • I said like a lot. Like like this. Like that.

  • But you're very very well spoken.

  • I actually swear...all time.

  • I am trying very hard. Sh*t, fu*k, alright.

  • Curse like a sailor? Yeah.

  • [Complete this sentence, "I wish I had someone with whom I could share..."] That will be nice to have someone literally say anything and everything,

  • and they will still like you and respect you and not think you're a big weirdo.

  • [Tell your partner something you like about them.] You have very very nice smile.

  • I would definitely make out with you.

  • Okay.

  • Yeah. I was kind of thinking about that like on a break and I was like "Yeah, I definitely make out with him, and...he's pretty attractive."

  • We have a lot of things in common.

  • And I like what I like, so it's a good thing.You know, to have a lot of things in common.

  • [Final Task: stare into each other's eyes for 4 minutes.]

  • I expected to be a lot more awkward, but it was more interesting and exciting.

  • I like you. You're cool.

  • It was interesting getting to know a lot about you,

  • 'cause a lot of those questions aren't necessarily step you'd say right away or even sometimes ever to someone.

  • Would you guys like to see each other again after this?

  • Cam: Yeah Emily: Yeah. I'd like to see him again.

  • And if you guys want to, and there's no pressure, you guys can kiss each other.

  • Sure!

  • Sounds good!
