You know, was there pressure if 18 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: you didn't have a date, you know, trying to find 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: one or getting asked to one. How are your experiences 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: with date parties? 21 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 4: So I feel like in terms of finding a date, 22 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 4: it was kind of well rounded, which I feel like 23 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 4: isn't very normal at other schools, but at UCLA it 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 4: was kind of like in the Beginning like freshman and 25 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 4: sophomore year, you everybody was like fighting a date because 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 4: everybody wanted to be taking like a cute frat boy 27 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 4: that they just knew of or thought was cute or whatever. 28 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 4: And then as time went on and you get older 29 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 4: into like your junior and your senior year, everybody stops 30 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 4: caring about like who to take because at UCLA Greek 31 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 4: life is so small, So like by the time you 32 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 4: reach your junior and senior year, you kind of already 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 4: know everybody. But there is this one date party that 34 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 4: is pretty crazy that I feel like is very you know, 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 4: to UCLA, which is called Crush. But basically, you get 36 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 4: to choose three dates that you want to invite, and 37 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 4: you like list them from like one to three, of 38 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 4: like one being you want to take them the most 39 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 4: three is like the person you want to take the 40 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: least out of your three options. And then this committee 41 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 4: appointed by this alreaty called the Crush Committee, basically calls 42 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 4: the list of guys and they go from number one 43 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 4: down to number three, and they start with number one 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 4: and they're like a girl as requested for you to 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: be her date. She wants you to come to Crush 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 4: do you accept and you have no idea who invited you? 47 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 2: The guys don't know who have okay, So they don't 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: know who asked them exactly. 49 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 4: Okay, I have no idea who them. 50 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: They just know that somebody asks, okay. 51 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 4: And then every grade addresses to a different theme. So 52 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 4: like like one year or theme was like goes under 53 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 4: and so it was like one grade was under the sheet, 54 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 4: so everybody were like pajamas. One grade was like under 55 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: the sea, so everybody was like c themed and everybody 56 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: had a different grade. So like when they call your date, 57 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 4: they're like, all you get to know is the theme, 58 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 4: So you get to know what grade of the person 59 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 4: that invited you. 60 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 5: That's it? 61 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: Okay, And do they also dress to theme? 62 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: Yes, so they have to. 63 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: So basically, like all the girls all get ready together. 64 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 4: Everybody's like so excited, and like everybody picks out really 65 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 4: cute outfits and whatever, and we all take one bus 66 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 4: and then all the guys have to meet at like 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 4: a set location and they all have to take a 68 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 4: bus together. 69 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: But like they don't know who invited them. 70 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 4: All they know is like the theme of what they're 71 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 4: dressing to. But they just get on this bus with 72 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 4: a bunch of random guys going to a venue that 73 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 4: they don't know to meet a bunch of girls and 74 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: they have no idea who they're like technically going there 75 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 4: to meet. 76 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: That actually sounds like so much much fun. I think 77 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: that's hilarious. Yeah, what happens to the guys that get 78 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: like like two girls had them on the list and 79 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: one is a freshman and one is a sophomore, and 80 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: they have to do under the sea and under the sheet? Like, 81 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: how do you then just the guy get to choose? 82 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: Is there a competitive like that? 83 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 4: I think in that case it would probably go based 84 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 4: off of like seniority, Like whoever is in the higher 85 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 4: grade probably gets a priority of ranking. But I don't 86 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: know how often that happens, but it does happen occasionally, 87 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 4: where like the same guy gets invited by two girls 88 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 4: in the same grade and then the girls don't really 89 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 4: know which of their dates out of like the list 90 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 4: of three get asked, so like both girls could have 91 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 4: ranked a guy number one, and then he shows up 92 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 4: and both girls are like I ranked him number one, 93 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 4: Like I want to hang out with him. 94 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: They all three get invited that you rank no. 95 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 4: So basically your top pick gets invited, but like let's 96 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 4: say you're top pick is already invited by somebody else, 97 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: then your number two pick could get invited. But you 98 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,679 Speaker 4: could have the same number two pick because you chose 99 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 4: like your guy best friend as like four other girls 100 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 4: who also picked him because he. 101 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: Was Oh my god, I'm getting such a any day.
