Speaker 2: Keeps telling us about.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh where there's a local group called The Next

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Fun Thing and it's a new dating concept here in

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It's the newest way to meet somebody. Basically,

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: go on stage and you pitch your single friend to

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: an audience. Yeah, and you do a presentation about why

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: your friend is so great and why they should not

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: be single.

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: And the audience is all single people as well.

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I saw single people too.

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: So Dre Ramirez she lives in Glendale and she came

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: up with this idea.

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: Hi, Dre, how are you?

16
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 4: Hi? Good? How are you are?

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: Is it working? Are people meeting people?

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 4: I think? So?

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just need to understand, like, uh, okay, let's

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: say my best friend Siciny comes to this event and

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: she is going to pitch me, right, so you're going

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: to do a presentation on me.

23
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: How does it work?

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah? So basically, we spend about a month prior to

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 4: the event searching for submissions. So for each event, we

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 4: get about two hundred submissions of people telling me about

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 4: their single friends. And I go through the list, and

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: I try to find fifteen really interesting singles diverse different backgrounds,

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 4: and we pick the pitches to go on stage. And

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: so basically we also sell tickets based on your gender

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 4: and the gender that you're interested in, so we could

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: make sure we have like a diverse audience of singles

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: as well. And when you're pitched on stage, the audience

34
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 4: has the opportunity to basically scan a QR code and

35
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: then they fill out a form for each single that

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 4: they're interested in. So then the person who pitched the

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: single can then look at the list of submissions of

38
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: people in the audience too were.

39
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: Interested in their friends, and they can pick.

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 4: And then they become the matchmaker because obviously the single

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: person is not doing it right.

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 1: So Tanya is still set with me. When I said

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: my best friend Sistanine didn't say Tanya. I just was

44
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: using it as an example.

45
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: I can.

46
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: Because I even said that I should go to this

47
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 3: and I should pitch you and I would create such

48
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: a wonderful.
