00:16:00with you so what's wrong with you what's wrong with you why are you here why love is blind oh
00:16:11man to be brutally honest I just have kind of been an ass to women in my previous dating life
00:16:17I really wanted to confront myself about that I work in medical aesthetics so I'm surrounded by
00:16:23Botox fillers facelifts tummy tucks you know butt lifts hello that has affected me in terms of what
00:16:34a woman should look like I mean it was always about looks right away for me what's your name
00:16:38I'm Dave I'm Lauren there's none of that included in this experiment it's testing me that I am I
00:16:44that guy I guess I still don't know I guess we'll see I'm 32 okay how old are you I'm 30 okay so
00:16:51you're no longer attractive oh my god should this be the first date that I walk out on it might have

00:17:22partner is just like not there it's like the one little missing piece that I haven't really
00:17:26figured out I'm here to like kind of finish the puzzle okay wow that's cool honestly I'm kind of
00:17:32the same way timing is just so important yeah like everything in life totally what do you do I sell
00:17:39social studies curriculum to school district very cool I was a teacher before this I would have
00:17:45stayed in teaching for so much longer yeah if they paid me a livable wage teachers and nurses like

00:18:18very shallow person mm-hmm I used to like try to you know dance around that a little bit but yeah

00:18:35not one way to be a beautiful woman like right there's tons I also do think that physical
00:18:41attraction grows okay lined every guy up that I've dated you'd be like where's the commonality a lot

00:24:54I truly believe it okay you got to speak it into existence you know when I was younger I was
00:24:59actually extremely unattractive and nerdy and weird and people didn't talk to me I had like this big
00:25:06afro I had braces I had really severe acne I wore this big purple sweater every day because I just
00:25:14felt comfortable in it I remember telling a girl that I had a crush on her in high school and she
00:25:20laughed in my face and all of her friends looked over at me and started laughing and so then I went
00:25:27and ate lunch in the bathroom now that I have more attention physically from women it's
00:25:39irrelevant right that same version of me back when I wasn't attractive that's the same person
00:25:45that I am now I really want someone that just loves me for who I am and doesn't really care
00:25:49about what I look like hello who's this this is Alex it's Madison I'm so excited to talk to you
00:26:05okay wait remind me where you're from I grew up in Edina I grew up in Indiana like literally
00:26:14surrounded by cornfields I was never meant for that cookie-cutter marry your high school
00:26:19sweetheart type of life yeah in college I'd be like in 18 credits working like three jobs and
00:26:26then in the summer I moved to Paris and then while I was in Paris I actually met this couple who
00:26:33taught English at a school in Jordan and they were like you should totally come and so then the next
00:26:41summer I went and lived in the Middle East no way and yeah every morning I would go learn Arabic I
00:26:49would come back like eat lunch take a nap do my homework whatever and then at night I would teach
00:26:54English that is one of the coolest things I've ever heard do you like to travel I'd really love
00:26:59seeing different ways of life and yeah that is one of my favorite things ever to do so I really
00:27:05that you like to travel what are you looking for in a partner I just want someone who's kind it's
00:27:11really important to me that like people feel safe with me oh my gosh you're saying all the right
00:27:17things Madison I had a rough childhood I want to hear about that yeah so my parents never got
00:27:28married actually so they had me when they were 19 Wow my mom she was really surrounded by a lot
00:27:34of drugs and and she was in kind of a rehab program when she met my dad and they had me an
00:27:41accident met my stepdad when I was two married him and I also actually lost my stepdad when I
00:27:52was in eighth grade to a drug overdose my relationship with my mother is tough I still
00:27:59talk to her when I can sometimes it gets to be a bit much for me because I've just had to be like
00:28:06a parent to her my whole life but I really love her I have a lot of compassion for her and I think
00:28:16there's a lot of like generational curses that I'm trying to break it's just so many things that
00:28:22I don't want to take into like my family next right and sometimes I get upset about that but
00:28:28I have to remember like the cards that she was dealt she didn't break all the generational curses
00:28:34but she probably broke some so now I would say I'm close with my brother and my sister like I
00:28:42just want to be the person for them that I never had yeah first of all I'm very sorry to hear about
00:28:50all of that that's a lot and I'm sure it has changed you a lot and yeah turned you into the
00:28:57person that you are for sure I've also I had some family issues not anywhere near yours I want to
00:29:06hear about it well I had a rough time in school I was like relentlessly bullied I was beat up in
00:29:14the hallway I remember going into lunch and I try to sit down at a table and people would like push
00:29:19my tray off the table what the fuck and so I'd go like eat alone in the bathroom or like in the
00:29:26practice room and like play piano or something yeah so that was brutal for that makes my heart
00:29:31hurt for you and I have really bad ADHD and so I just I failed high school basically and my whole
00:29:40family's about like school and academia and and so they were really disappointed in me and so I got
00:29:48kicked out of the house and I had to just figure it out on my own basically well and yeah so it
00:29:56was really hard but I think looking back I wouldn't change any of it yeah but when I'm in a
00:30:02room now I can sense like who isn't being included and I really like I want to include them and it
00:30:08makes me happy to include them yeah but yeah no it was brutal I was also bullied uh not as bad I was
00:30:18but I mean I don't know if it's different for like you know girls and guys like before I got
00:30:23braces and stuff like just called the worst names um and yeah just was not very cool like
00:30:32in high school which is you know why I kind of gravitated a lot more towards art
00:30:37yeah um and academics I love that though I like a little nerd you know yeah that's great yes love
00:30:45it yeah well it's all I had and you know after school had a glow up and now not only am I cool

00:31:01yeah I love the confidence yeah Madison um which I'm sure you feel the same way yes I do
00:31:09the irony right is that you want to say like well screw you you're the worst but we've learned to

00:31:21well it's okay I'll hold it against them for you oh I love that so you can be the nice person and

00:34:20you close with your family I'm close with my siblings my brother Roman who's 10 years younger
00:34:26than me and then my sister Sophia who's 12 my brother Brett who's four years younger than me
00:34:33um was named after Brett Favre I don't know if you're familiar with the Packers
00:34:39pause I am a huge Packers fan are you yeah that's a huge green flag for me because I love
00:34:46the green flag for you pun intended literally okay I'm writing that down yeah I am too let's do
00:34:53it um so actually you know I lost my brother to a car accident um in 2020 I'm so sorry so he was
00:35:02named after Brett Favre and my stepdad he had a Brett Favre jersey it was passed down to my brother
00:35:09when my stepdad passed and now I have it um and he never got to go to a Packers game so this past
00:35:20New Year's Eve I wore my brother's jersey to that game so like I got to be like a big sister and
00:35:26like take them to like the Vikings Packers game you're gonna make me cry because we destroyed
00:35:31the Viking that is such a good story I know right that's awesome that you were able to
00:35:39commemorate him yeah wait that's really really cool of you thank you yeah I really miss him
00:35:46um I just have you know lost a lot of people um oh I'm sorry and I I hate talking about it
00:35:54sometimes but it's like one of those things that you have to talk about yeah no I I totally
00:36:00understand I think having tough times and rough dynamics makes you a stronger person yeah I mean
00:36:10at this point though I just feel tired of like always having to be resilient and strong and
00:36:17I'm not orphaned obviously but I feel that way as much as I I love my mom and I have
00:36:23compassion for my mom like I can't go to her about things yeah um that's or you know like
00:36:33my dad is just a super distant dude like family is still so important to me though yeah and so
00:36:39I think just like in a partner like that is like something that I'm really looking for is someone
00:36:44who's like still really close with their family someone who has like a really good family dynamic
00:36:48especially like further down the line if I'm having like kids with this person like
00:36:53I want them to have a really good sense of a family too I'm still very close with my mom and
00:36:58my dad and um my sister if you ever need a little bit more family let me know I can yeah I can
00:37:04extend the invitation you could definitely benefit from a support system yes someone who could be
00:37:11and you know be shoulder to cry on and I love to yeah be there for my partner
00:37:19I've been single for two years now and I think that's why I was really drawn to this experiment
00:37:26the emotional and intellectual part for me is really important for that physical attraction
00:37:31to be there as well yeah I really like that we got really deep here yeah thank you so much for
00:37:37opening up and sharing that means a lot to me I mean thank you for being a safe space yeah

00:37:46of your dates are not as good as this one well it's gonna be tough to beat that's for sure I'd
00:37:53love to hear it being in the pods it's kind of like creating someone who doesn't exist you can
00:38:01figure out if they're outdoorsy if they like to cook and you kind of assemble that in your brain
00:38:06you get to see all the pieces that make that person into who they are and the fact that I'm

00:40:45it's kind of spooky no it's okay I have to tell you like I don't smoke but I have high thoughts
00:40:51a lot like sober high thoughts I love that okay I like I hope you can follow this but like I
00:40:57listened to a Joe Rogan podcast once okay and he was talking about how people will pour um like
00:41:04some kind of material into like an ant tunnel like an ant home to see like the shape and he said like
00:41:10ant homes are so intricate underground oh my god it's incredible no I just heard about it but in
00:41:17the same podcast the guy was talking to him about how like there's different powers out in the
00:41:22universe yeah and how like you once you reach a certain energy and certain power you can actually
00:41:27control the weather and I was like oh my god I was like what if natural disasters to us are like
00:41:34super superior beings yeah just like experimenting with us like we experiment with ants
00:41:41that's so interesting like we don't know shit like the pyramids like the pyramids like how do
00:41:47they build that yeah do you believe in spirits ghosts I do yes I do too are you religious I'm
00:41:53not oh my god that's the best news I've heard all day are you no my parents are still Christian
00:41:59yeah and it's something that I feel like I've always really disappointed them in because like
00:42:03they truly believe in hell and think I'm going there and I feel so bad that I give them that
00:42:08anxiety that's too bad like they're so sad for me that I'm going to hell and I feel so bad that
00:42:14like I'm doing that to them by my lifestyle choice yeah and it's really emotional for me because I
00:42:20love my parents yeah if they have beliefs about you going to hell then that's that's what they
00:42:26think you should do what makes you happy in the end I was like I really hope I talk to someone
00:42:32who just like gets it like gets me like gets that I'm not religious but I believe in something out
00:42:37there and like all these energies and like a higher power and like no one has knocked me off
00:42:41my balance and I feel like you kind of just did that yeah so I'm like I don't know if I want to
00:42:45like talk to their guys right now like I really love this and I want to keep talking to you
00:42:49yeah at this moment you know the feeling is mutual I'm like I just want to keep going and going yeah
00:42:53well uh just save that energy for me I'll save it I'll be back I promise I got you okay and you to
00:43:00I can't even begin to explain how happy I am
00:43:14wake up and get ready to go let loose hit the streets oh Brad looking sexy yeah I know

00:43:58do you snore by the way if I ever do snore like feel free to smack me
00:44:05don't kill me I know if it happens it happens this is weird but I like to hold pillows and like

00:44:18kind of a baby are you okay good to know I'll take care of you you will yeah except okay I'm
00:44:24uh if it's a scary movie about exorcism I hate it that could be real yes yeah it freaks me out
00:44:31you know because you went to catholic school like yeah we had to watch the real story about
00:44:35a real exorcism I am not messing with that yeah I saw the exorcism but it was a real priest talking
00:44:42about an exorcism he performed what mm-hmm my religion teacher was very much like you invite
00:44:49a devil or spirit in you could have that happen to you oh my god that's terrifying my catholic
00:44:57school education was wild yeah your voice you sound just like my girlfriend from high school
00:45:07really it's cute oh thanks yeah I can tell you apart from like a lot of the other girls
00:45:13really a lot of them sound the same do they yeah I told some of the girls that I had my own only
00:45:18fans yeah and they believed me I was like nah I'm just playing hey but like just like thoughts on
00:45:26sex like is it really important to you is it I think it's really important if you're in love
00:45:33with someone you should want to like make them happy I like to ask a lot of questions okay
00:45:41because I like to do the best job I can so I need all the information okay um what type of
00:45:49kisser are you and are you like super aggressive kisser kind of like laid back kind of feel it out
00:45:54I think it depends on the vibe of where we're taking things sometimes there's a
00:46:01energy that it needs to be you know intense and quick and sometimes it's more slow and
00:46:06I don't know sexy I guess yeah yeah god okay speaking my language over there molly
00:46:12what about okay do you have anything I don't want to like keep firing questions at you I like it I
00:46:16like you taking charge okay you do yeah so you do it so like you're in that's a good
00:46:21that's a good like segue into it yeah so you like that when the man takes charge um
00:46:27I like alternating okay to begin with I feel like I'm more comfortable following and okay and be
00:46:35once I'm comfortable following I can take charge okay yeah I like that so you feel comfortable
00:46:43leading and then and then letting you boss me around yeah absolutely perfect that's what I like
00:46:50in the bedroom anything like a guy's like into and you're like okay weirdo no I mean I'm like
00:46:58pretty open to trying anything once I am too so if you're into it yeah I'm trainable okay yeah
00:47:07good to know she has the vibes oh my gosh it's so this is like I don't get it like it's so talking
00:47:16about this and like not knowing what you look like I know it is crazy it is because I'm like
00:47:23starting to like try to picture this and I'm just like I can't yeah yeah we're like perfect for
00:47:28each other I didn't yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I apparently say that odd I smile every time you do
00:47:37it oh do you okay I do then I won't stop yeah Molly you're kind of killing me over here I didn't
00:47:45even have to put the pillow over your face hello hello is this David yes this is Lauren Lauren
00:48:00Dave I realize I didn't tell you my dad's name is Dave is it fun fact that is a fun fact very
00:48:05dad-like name now that I think about it is that a good thing I think it's a good thing I like my
00:48:09dad I love my dad like my dad I don't want to marry my dad okay good that's a thing though right
00:48:16what like daddy issues no I'd like to think I don't have those no no no no I mean um it's a
00:48:23thing to be like naturally attracted to people that remind you of your dad totally you learn
00:48:29about love and how to show love in your romantic relationships from how your parents loved you as
00:48:35a kid that's your vision of love and like that's what you're looking for that makes sense yeah so
00:48:40how did your parents show you love Dave oh my god um they were always making sure I wasn't
00:48:46making dumb decisions or like hanging out with the wrong crowd what's your sibling situation
00:48:50I have an older sister okay just me and her okay she is super cool super fun to be around yeah but
00:48:58like also like very motherly yeah benefits of having my older sister I just not to brag but
00:49:04like I just get it I live alone I have my own place and like I put the seat down when I after
00:49:10I use it your sister raised you right her and my mom yep remind me um your siblings can you tell
00:49:18me more about them like yeah so I have an older brother and two younger brothers okay the older
00:49:24brother is he protective of you he would question if I was with someone that wasn't at the standards
00:49:30that he would expect it to be okay but he also at the end of the day he'll want things to be good
00:49:35yeah what was your sister's advice for you coming on this she wasn't super thrilled okay
00:49:43I think she even said that she was just like I don't think any of those girls are good enough
00:49:46for you like yeah but at the end of the day like it's you know it's my life right and I I felt like
00:49:51it was right for me to come right it's your life and it's your marriage yeah yeah and if this is
00:49:57a huge mistake it's a huge mistake yeah it might be I don't I don't know yet it might be yeah so
00:50:04what would I need to do to impress your sister oh god nothing really nothing specific I think
00:50:10what she would appreciate the most would be like forcing me and you to hang out with them more
00:50:16okay that's it yeah hang out or like I know it sounds so simple right where does your sister
00:50:22live she lives in Lakeville oh my god so she's like literally right there kind of I mean it
00:50:28isn't like the funnest drive ever it's pretty boring what would you do would you like listen
00:50:32to podcasts or uh sometimes I'm in a book club with my friends that's so like sometimes I would
00:50:38listen to the audiobook I always get accused of not reading because I can read really well
00:50:45I cannot like comprehend very well okay I have to like read things over and over to like really
00:50:51drive it into my brain as a former sixth grade reading teacher we can work on some reading
00:50:57comprehension strategies oh my god we can do some practice I totally forgot about that
00:51:05oh Lauren I don't think you have like a bad bone in your body
00:51:11today's been really fun with you today's been fun with you too
00:51:14a little something to believe in
00:51:22good luck uh I'm so mad today why why I'm just like very frustrated with my voice you feel okay
00:51:32I feel great I feel 100 except my voice well if it makes you feel any better I barely even
00:51:39notice it anymore I journaled about you last night did you mm-hmm your name may be in my
00:51:46journal as well oh my gosh I'm not dropping any more than that but no I got you I got you
00:51:53like full disclosure I was on a date with someone and I was thinking about our like your and my
00:51:59conversation that happened to me too all I could think about was like being excited to talk to you
00:52:04again and it was like exciting um a little bit nerve-wracking yeah but I was just like man
00:52:13it means something to me that that like you're on my mind same when I imagine like who I'm with
00:52:20and who my wife is and like who I build a family with like a lot of the things that you talk about
00:52:26came across as like very meaningful for me yeah same I like a lot of things about you um
00:52:32particularly your family dynamic yeah the way you talked about your sister how much she loves
00:52:38and regardless of being blind and the things that you know how she's lived her life and how you
00:52:44aspire to be like her is something that like I still think about um when we're not together
00:52:49the way you word things is just so like comforting to me like really the first time we talked if we
00:52:56agreed on something you kept saying I'm right there with you yeah instead of just saying like
00:53:02yeah true that or I agree for some reason the response I'm right there with you is like
00:53:08again so comforting like yeah yeah you're right there yeah but you're not I know I know I like
00:53:16want to sit as close to like the orange I know I feel this weird desire to go through the wall
00:53:22I know I know um then when you talked about like having children one day and being a dad and a
00:53:27family referring to your wife as the mother of your kids those are all like notes that I have
00:53:32written on your page in my book yeah literally in quotations mother of my kids yeah um I feel
00:53:40very at home when I talk to you wow I love that thank you for sharing that yeah a lot of thoughts
00:53:50a lot of thoughts okay
00:53:53I'm moving to the ground oh I'll move to the ground with you okay all right I'm on the ground
00:53:59okay yeah I love that family is a big thing for you yeah I told you about the Christmas cards
00:54:04right I don't think so I didn't talk to you about my Christmas cards no oh my gosh this okay so this
00:54:12is a big part of my life too okay I've made a Christmas card every year for the past six years
00:54:18and each year I've been single on Christmas every year it gets more and more over the top
00:54:23fake snow like wrapping paper all the Christmas stuff uh like a Christmas cat onesie on and I
00:54:29set up like a whole Christmas scene and like got fake Christmas tattoos you're committed I am but
00:54:36I was like the the best thing that I could possibly do is like bring this into like a marriage and
00:54:42have like a Christmas card with my wife and then have like make a ridiculous like a fun Christmas
00:54:47card with our kids and like just keep the tradition going yeah so if you're down to like
00:54:52dress up as Mrs. Claus or something yeah Christmas is my favorite holiday is it I put up four trees
00:54:59in my one bedroom apartment I'm a big fan of Taylor big fan of Taylor I think you're pretty
00:55:09cool it's going really well yeah but I'm a pretty big over thinker especially in relationships
00:55:18if you ever have any questions like if you ever need clarity on something like you can always
00:55:22ask me yeah I don't I haven't felt that way yeah um with you at all okay good but I do really enjoy
00:55:32hearing you say that obviously like my intention is to find my person here and like I hope that
00:55:37they're here and like if you're my person I'm your person like if we move forward with something
00:55:42like something I care about a lot is like making sure that you have clarity on everything you need
00:55:49yeah when it comes to me or like you know our relationship I just want to feel secure yeah
00:55:55in my relationship yeah and then like also for you to feel very secure yeah freaking a yeah I'm
00:56:03really enjoying spending time with you same it's like I've never even met this man I know

00:57:40everyone loves it my family I've watched the sound of music probably 5 000 times
00:57:50literally my great my grandma was so obsessed with the sound of music like stop both my
00:57:57grandmas like took care of me quite often because I had to go over to their houses a lot when my
00:58:03sister was in and out of hospitals she had cerebral palsy did I tell you that I think
00:58:07you told me that you you lost one which I'm so so sorry thank you monica and all the time
00:58:15the sound of music was freaking on at my grandma's house all the time I had that movie memorized and
00:58:23I was so sick of it this is insane and they're on that hill singing doe a deer a female deer
00:58:31high on the hill is a lowly goat herd okay
00:58:34okay
00:58:38god I can't I can't I was just like this innocent kid that grew up with nothing but sisters oh my
00:58:47god and I like wore the most ridiculous clothing oh and I went from homeschooling to going to
00:58:55public school and at first I was made fun of because I knew nothing I was such a nerd when
00:59:02I went to school like baggy shorts like these weird ass shirts yeah and I like got there and
00:59:09I'll never forget it I'm like what am I wearing compared to everyone else but football football
00:59:18like saved me because then I was able to like like prove to the like the guys that I was like
00:59:24good and they wanted me on their team luckily I was just good at it yeah
00:59:29yeah when I was 18 I got a lot of offers from some d1 schools oh yeah but I chose to
00:59:39decline the d1 offers and stay at home go to college nearby I was like I don't want to leave
00:59:47my like younger sister alone because of my like parents divorce yeah and I had to like help my mom
00:59:55and help my younger sister so I chose to stay basically to help them yeah and that was tough
01:00:05oh my god once you meet my mom this will make more sense to you okay she's smart but she's
01:00:13very naive and terrible with money how are you with money very very good okay it's something I'm
01:00:20pretty proud of because I like kind of had to help my family out and pay for my college
01:00:27when I was done with grad school literally I had like 200 dollars in my bank account yeah and
01:00:34taught myself how to like invest wow trade and I bought my first property when I was 27
01:00:40wow because I knew that I had to be prepared for my mom at some point to not have a place to live
01:00:46and I like had to start like a separate retirement account for her too oh my god
01:00:51that's fantastic thank you that's fantastic ah everything happens for a reason it's meant to
01:00:57happen I'm so conflicted you have how many tonight two two and like every time we talk it's been

01:04:01little bit to like go there because I was like I literally watched my mom die here like this is
01:04:06yeah um don't be too hard on yourself looking back at that as a mistake like there's obviously

01:08:06I don't know I'm like are you confused about this person or are you no like I'm not confused but
01:08:11being reminded that he had other dates today that just didn't feel good you can't let other
