1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,011
Give it up for your Wings of Voice Top 50

2
00:00:10,095 --> 00:00:13,264
in our Celebration of Genre Medley!

3
00:00:13,390 --> 00:00:18,103
Amazing grace

4
00:00:18,186 --> 00:00:23,274
How sweet the sound

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,029
That saved a wretch

6
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:33,368
Like me

7
00:00:33,451 --> 00:00:38,289
I once was lost but now I'm found

8
00:00:38,415 --> 00:00:40,208
Was blind but

9
00:00:40,458 --> 00:00:43,253
Now I see

10
00:00:43,461 --> 00:00:47,966
Amazing grace

11
00:00:48,049 --> 00:00:50,301
How sweet

12
00:00:50,385 --> 00:00:52,095
Your grace is amazing

13
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:54,472
Sound so sweet I can taste it

14
00:00:54,597 --> 00:00:56,683
Any wretch, he'll catch you, save you

15
00:00:56,766 --> 00:00:58,101
What a sensation

16
00:00:58,184 --> 00:00:59,769
- Man, it's amazing
- Grace!

17
00:01:02,564 --> 00:01:05,442
Amazing grace…

18
00:01:05,567 --> 00:01:09,154
Wings of Voice no longer had
much of a purpose to me.

19
00:01:09,237 --> 00:01:11,489
But I had an obligation to these singers

20
00:01:11,573 --> 00:01:13,366
to see the competition through.

21
00:01:13,533 --> 00:01:17,287
It won't be all celebration today
for our talented singers.

22
00:01:17,370 --> 00:01:22,042
Forty of the faces you see up here
will be going home tonight.

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,379
But I was finding it hard
to stay focused on the competition

24
00:01:26,463 --> 00:01:29,215
with everything I'd been learning
about these pilots.

25
00:01:29,299 --> 00:01:31,301
James E. Barmore Jr.

26
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:35,555
Samouhi.

27
00:01:37,932 --> 00:01:38,933
Quin.

28
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:44,189
Unfortunately, you will not be advancing.

29
00:01:45,273 --> 00:01:47,108
It was sort of shocking to discover

30
00:01:47,233 --> 00:01:50,320
that no matter what a pilot
is going through emotionally,

31
00:01:50,403 --> 00:01:52,322
talking to a therapist about it

32
00:01:52,405 --> 00:01:54,783
might lead to them losing their license.

33
00:01:55,450 --> 00:01:57,869
So, during breaks in the competition,

34
00:01:57,952 --> 00:02:00,914
I brought in actors posing as crew members

35
00:02:00,997 --> 00:02:04,042
to casually engage co-pilots
in conversation.

36
00:02:04,125 --> 00:02:05,710
You look pretty young to be a pilot.

37
00:02:05,794 --> 00:02:07,212
- Twenty-seven. Yeah.
- Twenty-seven? Okay.

38
00:02:07,295 --> 00:02:08,630
I would have guessed younger, actually.

39
00:02:08,838 --> 00:02:11,633
I thought it might be nice
to just give them a release valve,

40
00:02:11,716 --> 00:02:12,842
in case they needed it.

41
00:02:12,926 --> 00:02:14,677
- It's been a year since the breakup?
- Yeah, yeah.

42
00:02:14,761 --> 00:02:16,888
- Maybe a year and a half, yeah.
- Did you guys live together?

43
00:02:16,971 --> 00:02:18,681
- Yeah. For about a year, yeah.
- Oh, wow.

44
00:02:18,765 --> 00:02:21,518
I remember sitting there
in my room, just…

45
00:02:22,352 --> 00:02:23,561
- stunned.
- Yeah.

46
00:02:23,645 --> 00:02:25,480
You know, like, "How could that happen?"

47
00:02:25,563 --> 00:02:28,733
I just want to be clear
in case the FAA is watching.

48
00:02:28,942 --> 00:02:30,902
This is in no way therapy.

49
00:02:31,236 --> 00:02:33,029
This is just two people talking.

50
00:02:33,113 --> 00:02:34,656
- It's not… I'm not unhappy…
- Yeah.

51
00:02:34,739 --> 00:02:36,407
…but am I fulfilled?

52
00:02:36,491 --> 00:02:37,992
Would I like to be doing
something different?

53
00:02:38,118 --> 00:02:39,327
- I don't know.
- You don't know?

54
00:02:39,410 --> 00:02:41,246
What would you do if you could
do something different?

55
00:02:41,371 --> 00:02:42,539
Yeah, that's the thing…

56
00:02:42,664 --> 00:02:45,792
But as I listened in
on these private conversations,

57
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,627
I noticed one co-pilot

58
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:49,921
who was having an especially hard time

59
00:02:50,004 --> 00:02:51,422
talking about stuff.

60
00:02:53,091 --> 00:02:54,217
- No?
- No.

61
00:02:54,884 --> 00:02:56,010
Yep, that's…

62
00:02:57,470 --> 00:03:01,266
Colin is a First Officer
who flies for an air cargo company.

63
00:03:01,391 --> 00:03:05,103
And when his dating life came up,
he was very short on words.

64
00:03:05,228 --> 00:03:07,063
Is that like an issue then,

65
00:03:07,147 --> 00:03:08,940
in piloting?
Where you're not able to like…

66
00:03:09,023 --> 00:03:12,485
It's definitely… Yeah.
It's definitely a common thing.

67
00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:14,445
- Excuse me. Common thing.
- You're good.

68
00:03:14,529 --> 00:03:17,448
- Any dates recently or…
- Nope. Doesn't really work out.

69
00:03:19,534 --> 00:03:22,829
I mean, yeah, that's tough.
That's a tough time to…

70
00:03:22,912 --> 00:03:25,248
And I was curious to find out more.

71
00:03:25,373 --> 00:03:27,125
I couldn't help but overhear you talking

72
00:03:27,208 --> 00:03:30,295
with our boom operator, Lucas,
one of our operators.

73
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:32,839
- Yep, seems like a nice guy.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

74
00:03:32,964 --> 00:03:36,217
You guys were talking
about dating stuff? Or…

75
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:38,928
- A little bit, yeah.
- What was…

76
00:03:39,053 --> 00:03:42,473
Like, "How do you initiate
a con… that conversation

77
00:03:42,557 --> 00:03:44,684
- with total strangers" type thing.
- Oh, yeah.

78
00:03:44,767 --> 00:03:46,436
Like, trying to figure out
the wording of it,

79
00:03:46,519 --> 00:03:49,147
'cause in person you have
that one shot and you just do it.

80
00:03:49,230 --> 00:03:50,440
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I don't know.

81
00:03:50,523 --> 00:03:51,774
Yeah.

82
00:03:53,193 --> 00:03:54,819
Not… It hasn't worked. It didn't work.

83
00:03:56,112 --> 00:03:58,615
But Colin's struggle didn't surprise me.

84
00:04:00,950 --> 00:04:02,452
Whenever I travel now,

85
00:04:02,535 --> 00:04:05,413
I can't help but notice pilots everywhere

86
00:04:05,538 --> 00:04:07,582
just not talking to each other.

87
00:04:10,168 --> 00:04:13,838
Standing in complete silence
moments before flying

88
00:04:13,922 --> 00:04:16,257
hundreds of people through the sky.

89
00:04:19,052 --> 00:04:22,013
Was this really how to start
a healthy relationship

90
00:04:22,096 --> 00:04:23,806
between two strangers?

91
00:04:25,266 --> 00:04:29,938
What if this time was instead used
to understand each other?

92
00:04:32,190 --> 00:04:35,068
To build a relationship
that could withstand

93
00:04:35,151 --> 00:04:37,487
any challenge that comes their way.

94
00:04:40,114 --> 00:04:43,159
But what tools
does a pilot need to do this?

95
00:04:43,243 --> 00:04:45,203
I've tried things like trying
to be someone you're not,

96
00:04:45,286 --> 00:04:48,414
trying to seem more outgoing
or cooler than you are.

97
00:04:48,665 --> 00:04:49,958
- You've tried that?
- I've tried that.

98
00:04:50,041 --> 00:04:51,751
- How do you…
- I fell right on my face.

99
00:04:51,834 --> 00:04:53,628
- Oh, really? With a girl?
- Yep. Yep.

100
00:04:53,711 --> 00:04:56,089
It's one of those things
where I was kind of, like,

101
00:04:56,214 --> 00:04:57,674
almost humiliated, so I was like,

102
00:04:57,757 --> 00:04:59,926
"Let's get all that information
out of my head."

103
00:05:00,051 --> 00:05:02,595
Colin had recently messaged a woman.

104
00:05:02,762 --> 00:05:07,267
"Hey, do you have any travel tips
for Greenland and Iceland?"

105
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:09,477
"I saw you've been there a couple times."

106
00:05:11,062 --> 00:05:12,605
- This is just some girl?
- Yeah.

107
00:05:12,689 --> 00:05:13,815
Oh, okay.

108
00:05:16,067 --> 00:05:17,652
You think you'll get a response?

109
00:05:19,028 --> 00:05:21,114
- Maybe.
- Okay.

110
00:05:22,031 --> 00:05:23,032
Cool.

111
00:05:32,125 --> 00:05:33,876
Okay, come on in here.

112
00:05:34,836 --> 00:05:38,298
So this is why I asked you
what you'd be wearing today.

113
00:05:38,339 --> 00:05:39,549
- Okay.
- To send photos.

114
00:05:40,091 --> 00:05:42,385
It's something I've been
working on called The Pack.

115
00:05:42,468 --> 00:05:43,636
- Yep.
- And so I think

116
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,849
it may have the potential to, like,
help change human behavior.

117
00:05:49,684 --> 00:05:52,145
I saw a nature documentary recently

118
00:05:52,228 --> 00:05:55,273
where it said that animals
will hunt in packs…

119
00:05:55,815 --> 00:05:57,066
- Colin.
- Colin.

120
00:05:57,191 --> 00:05:59,652
…'cause it gives each individual animal

121
00:05:59,736 --> 00:06:01,446
the confidence to do things

122
00:06:01,529 --> 00:06:04,115
they'd normally be afraid
to do on their own.

123
00:06:04,198 --> 00:06:06,242
- You wanna get a coffee real quick?
- Wanna get a coffee?

124
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:07,410
- Sure. Yeah.
- All right.

125
00:06:07,493 --> 00:06:10,788
I wondered if that idea applied to humans

126
00:06:10,872 --> 00:06:14,167
would make social interactions
feel less scary.

127
00:06:14,709 --> 00:06:17,211
Rehearsing a date scenario
with an actress,

128
00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:21,215
but now with 15 of you
instead of just one.

129
00:06:21,299 --> 00:06:23,051
Black coffee, that's pretty hardcore.

130
00:06:23,134 --> 00:06:24,635
- It's normal.
- It's normal.

131
00:06:25,636 --> 00:06:27,513
- It's much easier to do.
- It's much easier to do.

132
00:06:27,638 --> 00:06:28,681
I had a theory

133
00:06:28,765 --> 00:06:31,184
that the start of a romantic relationship

134
00:06:31,267 --> 00:06:32,727
is a great parallel

135
00:06:32,852 --> 00:06:35,229
for two pilots meeting before a flight.

136
00:06:35,355 --> 00:06:37,982
What's the longest you could go
without coffee?

137
00:06:38,983 --> 00:06:41,944
I mean, I could probably
just go without it for a day,

138
00:06:42,153 --> 00:06:43,488
but it definitely helps…

139
00:06:43,571 --> 00:06:46,199
You become intimately involved
with a stranger

140
00:06:46,282 --> 00:06:48,117
where both people are desperately trying

141
00:06:48,201 --> 00:06:49,452
to read each other,

142
00:06:49,535 --> 00:06:52,372
but the pressure to show
the best version of yourself

143
00:06:52,663 --> 00:06:55,375
can prevent you from sharing
what you actually feel.

144
00:06:55,458 --> 00:06:56,584
Yeah, so I think I need

145
00:06:56,667 --> 00:06:58,252
to probably get to the airport, so…

146
00:06:58,336 --> 00:06:59,921
Oh! Oh, you're going straight
to the airport.

147
00:07:00,004 --> 00:07:01,172
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

148
00:07:01,214 --> 00:07:02,965
- Best of luck?
- Yeah, thank you. You, too.

149
00:07:03,049 --> 00:07:04,926
Okay. Take it easy.

150
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:10,723
- Safe travels.
- Yeah, you, too.

151
00:07:10,807 --> 00:07:13,101
- Have a great rest of your day.
- Thank you.

152
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,356
You sort of said, "Oh, I gotta go.
I'll see you later."

153
00:07:19,065 --> 00:07:21,234
But did you feel like
you gave the impression

154
00:07:21,317 --> 00:07:23,027
that you would want to see her again?

155
00:07:26,656 --> 00:07:27,657
I don't know.

156
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:30,201
I felt like Colin was gaining confidence

157
00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:31,285
with this Pack.

158
00:07:31,369 --> 00:07:32,995
Yeah, I've had a great time
with you today.

159
00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:36,124
I'd like to do it again sometime
later this week if you're free.

160
00:07:36,207 --> 00:07:38,000
- I'd love that.
- Great.

161
00:07:38,126 --> 00:07:41,546
But of course, this date was all fake.

162
00:07:42,171 --> 00:07:43,881
For me to know if any technique

163
00:07:43,965 --> 00:07:46,801
would actually help
change Colin's behavior,

164
00:07:46,884 --> 00:07:49,887
he would need
to get into a real relationship.

165
00:07:50,054 --> 00:07:51,139
Nope.

166
00:07:51,222 --> 00:07:54,016
He didn't have
any replies yet on his DMs.

167
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:55,143
Well…

168
00:07:55,268 --> 00:07:57,645
Sounds… Seems pretty normal
for just a random person.

169
00:07:57,728 --> 00:07:59,939
- Yeah.
- So after Colin left,

170
00:08:00,106 --> 00:08:03,818
I decided to gather all the actors
with a different idea.

171
00:08:04,235 --> 00:08:06,446
So, who here is into Colin?

172
00:08:07,071 --> 00:08:08,322
Into him how?

173
00:08:08,406 --> 00:08:10,700
- Can you define what that means?
- When I say "into,"

174
00:08:10,783 --> 00:08:14,454
I mean you find him cute,

175
00:08:14,704 --> 00:08:15,997
or are attracted to him.

176
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,540
I mean, I think he's kind of charming.

177
00:08:17,665 --> 00:08:19,584
Okay, raise your hand and keep it up

178
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:21,752
- if you're into him.
- He's kind of cute.

179
00:08:21,836 --> 00:08:25,339
Raise your hand. You? Okay, okay.

180
00:08:25,465 --> 00:08:29,343
So hands…
One, two, three here. Okay.

181
00:08:29,469 --> 00:08:30,761
The rest of you guys can leave.

182
00:08:31,095 --> 00:08:33,514
So what do you guys
like the most about Colin?

183
00:08:35,808 --> 00:08:37,977
He seems like the kind of guy
where once you get to know him,

184
00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:39,103
he's probably funny.

185
00:08:39,187 --> 00:08:40,229
- Yeah.
- But…

186
00:08:40,813 --> 00:08:42,106
He's a little reserved.

187
00:08:42,190 --> 00:08:43,274
I mean, I could be wrong, but…

188
00:08:43,357 --> 00:08:45,276
- He was just really sweet, and…
- Yeah.

189
00:08:45,359 --> 00:08:47,945
He seems to, yeah,
go do a lot of adventures

190
00:08:48,029 --> 00:08:49,739
and things like that, and that's…

191
00:08:49,822 --> 00:08:52,700
You know, I'm not so much
attracted to men physically.

192
00:08:52,783 --> 00:08:54,869
- It's more intellectually.
- He's smart.

193
00:08:54,952 --> 00:08:56,829
- I mean, Colin's really smart.
- I know, and I like…

194
00:08:56,913 --> 00:08:58,706
That's what I like.
To me, that's what turns me on.

195
00:08:58,789 --> 00:09:00,333
You're turned on by his intelligence.

196
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:01,876
I'm turned on by intelligence.

197
00:09:01,959 --> 00:09:03,836
Like, when I was a little kid,

198
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,547
Einstein was a guy I thought was so sexy.

199
00:09:06,672 --> 00:09:08,966
- Einstein?
- Einstein, yes.

200
00:09:09,050 --> 00:09:10,885
- Really?
- Yeah, and I read his story

201
00:09:10,968 --> 00:09:12,136
and everything. I was like,

202
00:09:12,220 --> 00:09:14,805
"Oh, yeah, this is the kind of man
I would have loved."

203
00:09:14,889 --> 00:09:15,890
Einstein.

204
00:09:15,973 --> 00:09:17,558
And he had a baby
when he was really young.

205
00:09:17,642 --> 00:09:18,976
- Did you know that?
- No.

206
00:09:19,101 --> 00:09:21,145
Y'all don't know? You know,
just when you have a…

207
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:23,356
I don't want to say that, but…

208
00:09:23,439 --> 00:09:25,274
- What?
- A wet dream, but you know…

209
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,109
- A wet dream?
- Wow.

210
00:09:27,485 --> 00:09:29,320
You had a wet dream about Einstein?

211
00:09:29,403 --> 00:09:31,113
I was turned on to him. Yeah.

212
00:09:31,239 --> 00:09:33,074
What's a wet dream for a woman?

213
00:09:33,157 --> 00:09:35,117
'Cause I know sort of, for…

214
00:09:35,201 --> 00:09:38,663
Well, you can…
Women can get wet, too, you know.

215
00:09:38,746 --> 00:09:39,789
I… I…

216
00:09:39,872 --> 00:09:42,667
But I'm not saying it's a dream.
I was wide awake when I had it.

217
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:44,460
- You were wide awake?
- I was wide awake.

218
00:09:44,544 --> 00:09:45,962
- Yeah.
- Is that a wet dream?

219
00:09:46,045 --> 00:09:47,547
- If you're awake?
- But it wasn't really a…

220
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:48,798
Well, I wasn't asleep…

221
00:09:48,881 --> 00:09:50,299
- Are you saying…
- …but I was wet.

222
00:09:50,383 --> 00:09:51,926
I mean, I was wet and I was awake.

223
00:09:52,176 --> 00:09:54,637
I was reading his book, his biography.

224
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,055
- His biography?
- His biography.

225
00:09:56,138 --> 00:09:57,431
And when I read about him,

226
00:09:57,890 --> 00:10:01,060
and looked at that E equals MC squared,

227
00:10:01,143 --> 00:10:02,728
I don't know, it was just a turn-on.

228
00:10:02,812 --> 00:10:05,022
- I can't really explain it.
- And you got wet in that moment.

229
00:10:05,106 --> 00:10:06,774
Yeah, I literally got wet in the moment.

230
00:10:06,899 --> 00:10:08,693
So you feel like Colin's
kind of an Einstein?

231
00:10:08,776 --> 00:10:11,737
Well, even, you know…
He's got intelligence.

232
00:10:11,821 --> 00:10:13,447
- That's what I'm saying.
- Yeah.

233
00:10:13,823 --> 00:10:17,201
I wouldn't say he's an Einstein.
Einstein is one of a kind.

234
00:10:17,285 --> 00:10:20,121
It was hard to say
the true level of interest

235
00:10:20,204 --> 00:10:22,415
any of these women had in Colin.

236
00:10:22,498 --> 00:10:23,749
Other than like strictly physical,

237
00:10:23,833 --> 00:10:25,376
I mean, just the way
that he holds himself

238
00:10:25,459 --> 00:10:26,460
I think is kind of charming.

239
00:10:26,544 --> 00:10:29,171
But if something real
were to happen here,

240
00:10:29,255 --> 00:10:30,715
I knew I couldn't force it.

241
00:10:30,798 --> 00:10:33,759
Ethically speaking, I can't ask you

242
00:10:33,843 --> 00:10:35,011
to pursue Colin,

243
00:10:35,094 --> 00:10:37,638
but if tomorrow
during any one of your breaks,

244
00:10:37,722 --> 00:10:39,807
- you wanna shoot your shot…
- Yeah.

245
00:10:39,890 --> 00:10:41,934
- Let's just say…
- Give it your best shot.

246
00:10:42,018 --> 00:10:44,604
…I'm not gonna stand
in your way.

247
00:10:45,229 --> 00:10:46,272
Yeah.

248
00:10:46,606 --> 00:10:49,859
The door is open. Walk on in.

249
00:10:51,027 --> 00:10:53,321
- Let the games begin.
- Let the games begin.

250
00:10:57,908 --> 00:11:00,286
Colin said he didn't
have much of a social life

251
00:11:00,369 --> 00:11:01,912
outside of his job,

252
00:11:02,038 --> 00:11:03,539
so I thought it might be helpful

253
00:11:03,623 --> 00:11:07,251
for him to practice expressing
romantic interest to a colleague.

254
00:11:07,418 --> 00:11:09,378
Anything good on any of those magazines?

255
00:11:10,838 --> 00:11:13,257
No. Just usual trashy fare.

256
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:15,968
- Yeah, I bet.
- Yeah, I bet.

257
00:11:16,427 --> 00:11:20,514
But I was most curious to see if
the time he had spent with his Pack

258
00:11:20,598 --> 00:11:23,184
would help Colin form real chemistry

259
00:11:23,267 --> 00:11:25,436
once everyone was off the clock.

260
00:11:38,199 --> 00:11:40,451
Did you go to school in…

261
00:11:42,453 --> 00:11:44,872
- Alabama?
- Yeah. I went to high school

262
00:11:44,955 --> 00:11:46,582
about half an hour south
of Huntsville.

263
00:11:46,666 --> 00:11:48,417
- Oh, okay.
- I was going to go to Ireland,

264
00:11:48,501 --> 00:11:50,711
and then my… One
of my bartender friends said,

265
00:11:50,795 --> 00:11:52,713
"Hey, dummy,
Oktoberfest is happening!"

266
00:11:53,047 --> 00:11:54,632
- So, I changed plans.
- "Go there!" Oh, my God.

267
00:11:54,757 --> 00:11:56,342
Two days later,
I was on the flight to Munich.

268
00:11:56,425 --> 00:11:57,510
- And how was that?
- Awesome.

269
00:11:57,593 --> 00:11:58,761
- That was probably insane.
- Yeah.

270
00:11:58,844 --> 00:12:00,012
So, yeah, I travel places,

271
00:12:00,096 --> 00:12:01,639
but my list never gets any shorter.

272
00:12:01,806 --> 00:12:03,933
See, well, what do you have
on the list, though?

273
00:12:04,016 --> 00:12:07,770
Like, I've got… I do eventually,
like, want to climb Kilimanjaro.

274
00:12:07,853 --> 00:12:09,355
Need to explore more of Europe.

275
00:12:09,438 --> 00:12:10,481
Okay.

276
00:12:11,273 --> 00:12:12,525
Like I said, I need to finish…

277
00:12:12,650 --> 00:12:13,651
Yeah.

278
00:12:14,276 --> 00:12:15,319
No, you're good.

279
00:12:25,996 --> 00:12:27,081
Yeah.

280
00:12:27,164 --> 00:12:29,458
I'm gonna head back,
but yeah. Definitely Seoul.

281
00:12:29,542 --> 00:12:31,043
- Yeah.
- You gotta go there.

282
00:12:31,127 --> 00:12:32,920
- It's on the list.
- Yes, top of the list.

283
00:12:33,003 --> 00:12:34,588
But it was pretty unclear to me

284
00:12:34,672 --> 00:12:37,758
if anything came from these conversations.

285
00:12:38,217 --> 00:12:40,636
So later, I checked in with Colin.

286
00:12:40,886 --> 00:12:42,096
So, how's it going?

287
00:12:43,305 --> 00:12:44,306
Seems to be good.

288
00:12:44,473 --> 00:12:48,060
Did you get any responses
to those messages you sent out?

289
00:12:48,144 --> 00:12:49,145
- Nope.
- Nothing?

290
00:12:49,228 --> 00:12:50,271
Nothing.

291
00:12:52,606 --> 00:12:53,607
Sorry.

292
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:57,278
It is what it is. But…

293
00:12:57,653 --> 00:12:59,321
like…

294
00:13:00,239 --> 00:13:03,826
I got some good travel ideas
from one of the actresses, Emma.

295
00:13:03,909 --> 00:13:06,245
- Oh, yeah?
- So we might try and bounce ideas

296
00:13:06,328 --> 00:13:08,372
off of each other
over a cup of coffee or something.

297
00:13:08,748 --> 00:13:09,915
Bounce ideas?

298
00:13:11,167 --> 00:13:12,334
- Yep.
- Good.

299
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:14,086
You know, she actually told me

300
00:13:14,170 --> 00:13:16,172
that she has a bit of a crush on you.

301
00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:18,549
Interesting.

302
00:13:18,674 --> 00:13:20,468
You ask her out, or she ask you out?

303
00:13:21,427 --> 00:13:23,345
- Little of both.
- Little of both?

304
00:13:24,096 --> 00:13:27,600
Nice. Well,
let the games begin, I guess.

305
00:13:27,683 --> 00:13:28,726
Yeah, we'll see.

306
00:13:29,727 --> 00:13:33,981
I hear you and Colin might be going out

307
00:13:34,064 --> 00:13:35,524
or have a plan?

308
00:13:35,608 --> 00:13:38,319
Yeah, maybe some coffee,
but I don't know where.

309
00:13:38,402 --> 00:13:40,529
And you… You really like him?

310
00:13:40,696 --> 00:13:42,364
I mean, yeah. Like, I…

311
00:13:43,157 --> 00:13:44,158
I…

312
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:46,202
want to get to know him more.

313
00:13:46,327 --> 00:13:48,913
- And your intentions are pure?
- I would say so.

314
00:13:48,996 --> 00:13:50,206
- Yeah.
- I'm not… Trust me, I'm not…

315
00:13:50,289 --> 00:13:52,374
I'm only saying, you know,
Collin is just such a sweet guy.

316
00:13:52,458 --> 00:13:54,668
- Yeah.
- So I would hate if anyone had…

317
00:13:55,294 --> 00:13:57,546
you know, didn't have
the best intentions

318
00:13:57,630 --> 00:14:00,549
in terms of pursuing him, but…

319
00:14:00,633 --> 00:14:03,677
I wouldn't say I'm that person,
and I… because I literally…

320
00:14:04,970 --> 00:14:07,556
This is too hard for me to even do.

321
00:14:08,015 --> 00:14:09,809
It seemed like the foundation

322
00:14:09,892 --> 00:14:11,977
for a genuine connection was there.

323
00:14:12,102 --> 00:14:14,396
But just because you're going
on a first date,

324
00:14:14,605 --> 00:14:18,025
it doesn't mean two people
have truly bonded yet.

325
00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:19,693
- Where are you from, brother?
- Indianapolis.

326
00:14:19,777 --> 00:14:20,986
Oh, sick. You a Colts fan?

327
00:14:21,111 --> 00:14:23,113
I know that in any relationship,

328
00:14:23,197 --> 00:14:27,034
the challenges are specific
to who you are as individuals.

329
00:14:27,117 --> 00:14:29,119
Does your, like, whole family
live out there, too?

330
00:14:29,203 --> 00:14:32,498
Yeah, I live with my grandma
and my family right now.

331
00:14:32,581 --> 00:14:35,125
So before Colin and Emma left that day,

332
00:14:35,292 --> 00:14:38,838
I had five female actors
secretly study her

333
00:14:39,088 --> 00:14:42,341
and also had five male actors study Colin.

334
00:14:42,424 --> 00:14:44,760
When you're not flying,
what do you like to do?

335
00:14:45,678 --> 00:14:47,304
Hiking, trivia.

336
00:14:48,097 --> 00:14:50,140
- Playing Irish folk music.
- Wha… Irish folk music?

337
00:14:50,224 --> 00:14:51,642
- Playing Irish folk music?
- Yeah.

338
00:14:51,767 --> 00:14:53,853
These actors needed to learn everything

339
00:14:53,936 --> 00:14:55,938
about this blossoming couple,

340
00:14:56,021 --> 00:14:58,691
because I had a plan
that was weeks in the making,

341
00:14:58,858 --> 00:15:02,278
designed specifically
to give Colin's new relationship

342
00:15:02,361 --> 00:15:04,405
the best chance of success.

343
00:15:06,282 --> 00:15:09,410
Oh, wow. Yeah, nice.

344
00:15:09,493 --> 00:15:13,455
So, these are saltwater fish,
and the one that looks like…

345
00:15:13,581 --> 00:15:17,459
With five exact replicas
of Colin's studio apartment

346
00:15:17,585 --> 00:15:21,171
and five fake versions
of him and Emma inside of it,

347
00:15:21,463 --> 00:15:24,383
I could use this as a predictive tool

348
00:15:24,466 --> 00:15:27,636
that would hopefully reveal
every possible challenge

349
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,555
a new couple might face,

350
00:15:29,847 --> 00:15:34,059
allowing Colin to have
a sneak peek at his own life.

351
00:15:41,859 --> 00:15:43,110
The actors were able to choose

352
00:15:43,193 --> 00:15:45,654
their own scene partner
for this experiment,

353
00:15:45,738 --> 00:15:48,866
based on who they felt
the most genuine chemistry with

354
00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:50,409
as their real selves.

355
00:15:51,535 --> 00:15:52,620
Oh, yeah?

356
00:15:53,996 --> 00:15:57,374
This was because I wanted them
to decide on their own

357
00:15:57,458 --> 00:16:00,169
how the relationships
would organically evolve.

358
00:16:00,294 --> 00:16:02,212
I actually get a little nervous
sometimes when I fly.

359
00:16:02,296 --> 00:16:03,297
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

360
00:16:03,422 --> 00:16:05,341
- It can be a little nerve-wracking.
- Do you see…

361
00:16:05,466 --> 00:16:08,010
That way, I could observe the challenges

362
00:16:08,093 --> 00:16:10,846
the actors were encountering
and that would tell me

363
00:16:10,930 --> 00:16:13,682
what Colin would
likely encounter with Emma.

364
00:16:13,766 --> 00:16:16,810
- How's it been going?
- I think it's been going good.

365
00:16:16,894 --> 00:16:20,522
I think he's trying to…

366
00:16:21,023 --> 00:16:22,483
I think he's a little nervous.

367
00:16:22,566 --> 00:16:27,529
I tried to give him, like, the eye,
and he wasn't taking the hint.

368
00:16:27,613 --> 00:16:30,324
- Okay. "The eye," you said?
- Yeah, like, "the eye."

369
00:16:30,407 --> 00:16:31,992
You know, when you look at one eye,

370
00:16:32,076 --> 00:16:33,410
look at the lips, look back up.

371
00:16:33,494 --> 00:16:35,204
- You know, the little trick?
- What is that?

372
00:16:35,329 --> 00:16:36,747
It's a little flirty trick women do.

373
00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:38,082
And what's the trick?

374
00:16:38,165 --> 00:16:41,794
It's kind of supposed to be
like a subconscious code

375
00:16:41,877 --> 00:16:43,295
for like, "Hey, you wanna kiss me?"

376
00:16:43,379 --> 00:16:44,922
- Oh, really?
- I don't know, I tried to get him

377
00:16:44,964 --> 00:16:46,924
to kiss… I don't know,
I've tried it before and it worked.

378
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:48,968
- I got told that once. Yeah.
- Oh, really?

379
00:16:49,051 --> 00:16:50,803
Can you just show me…
show me what you did?

380
00:16:50,886 --> 00:16:52,179
'Cause I was like…

381
00:16:56,225 --> 00:16:57,226
And the guy's supposed to know

382
00:16:57,309 --> 00:16:58,727
- from that…
- Hopefully they get the hint.

383
00:16:58,894 --> 00:17:00,062
I've talked with girls.

384
00:17:00,312 --> 00:17:02,064
- It's a thing.
- Yeah, yeah.

385
00:17:02,147 --> 00:17:04,024
- Yeah.
- Let me see it again.

386
00:17:08,904 --> 00:17:09,905
All right, yeah.

387
00:17:09,989 --> 00:17:11,448
I sort of see, it's like… Yeah, yeah.

388
00:17:11,532 --> 00:17:13,200
- All right. All right.
- I get it.

389
00:17:13,993 --> 00:17:15,536
Okay. All right, cool.

390
00:17:15,661 --> 00:17:17,579
- I'll let you get back to it.
- All right, cool.

391
00:17:17,663 --> 00:17:18,998
- Thank you.
- Okay. Thanks, yeah.

392
00:17:20,374 --> 00:17:25,421
So, this is so we can predict
any issues that might arise for you.

393
00:17:25,504 --> 00:17:29,425
I felt it was finally time
to show Colin what we'd been up to.

394
00:17:32,428 --> 00:17:33,637
What do you think?

395
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:45,065
Very interesting.

396
00:17:45,149 --> 00:17:46,900
But what I was really curious about

397
00:17:46,984 --> 00:17:49,778
was seeing how things were going
with him and Emma.

398
00:17:49,862 --> 00:17:51,613
So how was your date?

399
00:17:52,698 --> 00:17:53,741
- Good.
- Good?

400
00:17:53,824 --> 00:17:55,826
- It went well.
- Was there any…

401
00:17:57,494 --> 00:17:58,537
Kiss action?

402
00:17:58,620 --> 00:17:59,747
- Nope.
- No.

403
00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:03,876
Did… Do you feel
like she wanted to or…

404
00:18:03,959 --> 00:18:06,503
Didn't notice any hints
that indicated it this time.

405
00:18:06,879 --> 00:18:09,965
- Okay.
- So, if it was, it was very subtle.

406
00:18:10,424 --> 00:18:12,593
Yeah, well, it can be
subtle sometimes, right?

407
00:18:12,718 --> 00:18:14,470
- Yep.
- It's sort of hard to tell.

408
00:18:14,636 --> 00:18:17,306
Did she look… Did she stare
at you for a while ever?

409
00:18:17,848 --> 00:18:18,932
A couple times.

410
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:22,561
How do you know that wasn't it?

411
00:18:23,479 --> 00:18:24,563
Good question.

412
00:18:25,064 --> 00:18:26,565
Did she look at your eyes,

413
00:18:26,690 --> 00:18:28,776
then to your lips,
and then back to your eyes?

414
00:18:28,901 --> 00:18:30,652
If she did, I didn't notice it.

415
00:18:31,904 --> 00:18:33,655
I mean, but it's not a bad thing. Like…

416
00:18:33,781 --> 00:18:35,324
- Yeah.
- …'cause these things are hard

417
00:18:35,407 --> 00:18:37,868
and that's why we have the Pack, right?

418
00:18:38,118 --> 00:18:40,287
- Which was helpful, no?
- Yep.

419
00:18:40,871 --> 00:18:42,873
So maybe let's work on it, huh?

420
00:18:54,718 --> 00:18:55,844
Did you just look at me?

421
00:18:55,969 --> 00:18:57,596
- Oh, I was looking that way.
- Oh, okay.

422
00:18:57,679 --> 00:18:59,598
- I thought you looked over at me.
- I was kind of glancing.

423
00:18:59,681 --> 00:19:00,974
Like kind of scanning the entire thing.

424
00:19:01,058 --> 00:19:02,810
Yeah. Didn't know
if you were looking at my face.

425
00:19:03,185 --> 00:19:04,561
- Wow.
- Welcome.

426
00:19:04,645 --> 00:19:06,814
This is a really nice place.

427
00:19:07,564 --> 00:19:08,607
- Yeah.
- I like it.

428
00:19:08,732 --> 00:19:12,152
- What is that?
- That is a…

429
00:19:12,861 --> 00:19:15,155
like a ceremonial spear from Tanzania.

430
00:19:15,239 --> 00:19:17,241
One great thing about the Pack

431
00:19:17,324 --> 00:19:19,660
is that it can make a co-pilot feel

432
00:19:19,743 --> 00:19:22,621
like his struggles
are everyone's struggles

433
00:19:22,788 --> 00:19:26,500
and that you're not alone
in taking on personal challenges.

434
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:27,960
So what do you want to do?

435
00:19:28,127 --> 00:19:29,837
That's a good question.

436
00:19:31,004 --> 00:19:33,966
I've got the fish tank over there
if you want to learn about fish.

437
00:19:34,550 --> 00:19:36,552
- I can be that nerd.
- Yeah, I…

438
00:19:36,635 --> 00:19:39,179
It looks like those two
were kissing for a second.

439
00:19:39,263 --> 00:19:40,514
Yeah, they definitely…

440
00:19:41,056 --> 00:19:43,851
They tend to pair up
and then do their own thing.

441
00:19:44,852 --> 00:19:46,520
- Kind of funny sometimes.
- Yeah.

442
00:19:46,645 --> 00:19:50,357
But I was starting to notice
that the Pack had limitations.

443
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,317
How's everything going with Colin?

444
00:19:52,734 --> 00:19:54,194
I think, yeah, good.

445
00:19:54,278 --> 00:19:55,487
- Good?
- Yeah, yeah!

446
00:19:55,571 --> 00:19:57,030
Like, he'd tell me about his flying thing.

447
00:19:57,114 --> 00:19:58,991
I'd kind of, like, do a joke or something.

448
00:19:59,074 --> 00:20:01,785
And at least he laughed.
Like, I wasn't just, you know…

449
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:03,162
It went good.

450
00:20:03,245 --> 00:20:05,706
Has he kissed you yet?
Tried to kiss you?

451
00:20:05,789 --> 00:20:07,249
- No.
- Oh, okay.

452
00:20:07,374 --> 00:20:10,043
Is that something you would want?

453
00:20:11,170 --> 00:20:13,547
Yeah. I mean, yeah.

454
00:20:13,797 --> 00:20:15,716
Oh, okay. Sure. Nice.

455
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:20,262
But, like, maybe it's my…
I'm not giving out the right signals.

456
00:20:20,429 --> 00:20:22,472
- You think that's it?
- No, I don't know.

457
00:20:22,556 --> 00:20:23,557
Like, how do you, like…

458
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,475
- How would I signal to him?
- What signals do you give?

459
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:29,354
Like, it's just in the eyes.
Like, you give signals that way.

460
00:20:29,438 --> 00:20:31,023
- You're looking at his eyes?
- Yeah.

461
00:20:31,106 --> 00:20:32,274
I did it multiple times.

462
00:20:32,357 --> 00:20:34,026
Like, "Are you gonna kiss me or what?"

463
00:20:34,109 --> 00:20:36,486
Whatever Colin practiced with his Pack

464
00:20:36,570 --> 00:20:39,907
didn't seem to be changing
his real-world behavior.

465
00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:42,659
But we worked really hard
on this kiss thing.

466
00:20:42,743 --> 00:20:43,994
You know a lot about fish.

467
00:20:45,078 --> 00:20:47,039
- Yeah.
- That's cool.

468
00:20:49,666 --> 00:20:50,959
- Yep.
- Yep.

469
00:20:51,043 --> 00:20:52,502
Well, I mean…

470
00:20:53,003 --> 00:20:56,548
So when I found out where Colin's
next date was with Emma,

471
00:20:56,632 --> 00:20:59,134
I was sure to be watching from afar.

472
00:21:00,802 --> 00:21:03,722
- Yes!
- From what I could see,

473
00:21:03,805 --> 00:21:07,142
that high-five was the only
physical contact they had

474
00:21:07,226 --> 00:21:08,393
while they were playing.

475
00:21:08,477 --> 00:21:11,188
A little more power there, bud.
A little more.

476
00:21:11,521 --> 00:21:12,564
That's my line.

477
00:21:13,148 --> 00:21:16,026
But I knew that the classic moment
for a kiss

478
00:21:16,109 --> 00:21:17,569
is when you say goodbye.

479
00:21:17,653 --> 00:21:20,697
I can do the concertina,
which is using every single finger…

480
00:21:20,781 --> 00:21:22,074
- Yeah, yeah.
- …including the pinkies,

481
00:21:22,199 --> 00:21:23,200
which are useless,

482
00:21:23,283 --> 00:21:25,744
- but can't do string.
- No?

483
00:21:25,869 --> 00:21:28,497
Well, the… I mean, guitar is not too bad.

484
00:21:28,580 --> 00:21:29,915
That's like the only one.

485
00:21:29,998 --> 00:21:33,210
But like I could not do cello. Violin?

486
00:21:33,293 --> 00:21:34,461
- That… No. That's too hard.
- Yeah.

487
00:21:34,544 --> 00:21:36,713
If it has frets, you know where to go.

488
00:21:36,797 --> 00:21:38,757
Yeah, at least
you can play around with it,

489
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,843
but that's like you gotta do, like…
There's such a little window.

490
00:21:41,927 --> 00:21:43,303
- Yeah.
- So, I don't know.

491
00:21:44,054 --> 00:21:45,055
Yeah.

492
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,267
- Is that you? Is that your ride?
- No.

493
00:21:48,350 --> 00:21:50,519
I was about to say, if it is, I'm late.

494
00:21:50,602 --> 00:21:52,562
Yep, there's your Uber. Oh, my God.

495
00:21:52,646 --> 00:21:53,772
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

496
00:21:54,022 --> 00:21:55,065
Very pretty night.

497
00:21:55,148 --> 00:21:57,567
- Well, it was very nice seeing you.
- Yeah, it was nice seeing you, too.

498
00:21:57,693 --> 00:21:59,069
- Thank you, it was fun.
- Yeah.

499
00:21:59,152 --> 00:22:00,487
- Drive safe.
- You too.

500
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:01,655
- And, yeah.
- I'll see you soon.

501
00:22:01,738 --> 00:22:02,823
See you soon.

502
00:22:05,158 --> 00:22:08,704
Maybe a man's Pack
can only get him so far.

503
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:11,873
I can wear my pilot outfit
and be your butler.

504
00:22:11,957 --> 00:22:13,667
- Nice.
- And you can have a bell.

505
00:22:14,084 --> 00:22:15,836
Some of these fake relationships

506
00:22:15,919 --> 00:22:18,672
were so far ahead
of the real Colin and Emma,

507
00:22:18,714 --> 00:22:21,091
they bore almost no resemblance.

508
00:22:23,093 --> 00:22:25,554
But the actor's choice of how and when

509
00:22:25,637 --> 00:22:27,973
to become intimate intrigued me.

510
00:22:28,557 --> 00:22:30,434
Before the experiment began,

511
00:22:30,684 --> 00:22:33,770
I had given the actors the freedom
to not participate

512
00:22:33,854 --> 00:22:36,023
if they felt they had
a conflict of interest.

513
00:22:36,148 --> 00:22:37,524
Yeah, I guess I should ask you guys

514
00:22:38,608 --> 00:22:40,944
if either of you are
in a relationship or anything

515
00:22:41,028 --> 00:22:43,155
and you would want to opt out of this
because of that.

516
00:22:43,238 --> 00:22:45,073
- I don't know if that's something…
- Oh, no…

517
00:22:45,157 --> 00:22:46,533
Are either of you in a relationship?

518
00:22:46,616 --> 00:22:47,826
- I'm not.
- You're not?

519
00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:49,619
- I am. Yeah.
- Oh, you are?

520
00:22:49,703 --> 00:22:51,330
- Okay, is that okay?
- No, but this is…

521
00:22:51,413 --> 00:22:53,373
- Yeah, totally fine. Yeah.
- Okay.

522
00:22:53,498 --> 00:22:56,752
But one of the actresses
said something I couldn't shake.

523
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,879
When I'm like approaching,
like, a love scene,

524
00:22:59,004 --> 00:23:01,089
obviously I know it's not "real" real,

525
00:23:01,298 --> 00:23:02,799
but, like, it was real

526
00:23:02,883 --> 00:23:04,426
for like a minute. You know what I mean?

527
00:23:04,509 --> 00:23:06,595
It's real for you when you're doing it?

528
00:23:06,678 --> 00:23:08,930
Yeah, like it's happening
while it's happening.

529
00:23:09,056 --> 00:23:10,849
- But it's not "real" real.
- Does that make sense? Yeah.

530
00:23:10,932 --> 00:23:12,184
- Like the emotions feel real.
- Yeah.

531
00:23:12,267 --> 00:23:14,353
It feels like it's… I'm like,
"Oh, I really, like…

532
00:23:14,436 --> 00:23:16,229
I feel this way
about this person right now."

533
00:23:16,313 --> 00:23:17,689
- Like feel love?
- Yeah.

534
00:23:17,773 --> 00:23:20,192
And your boyfriend's
like cool with all that?

535
00:23:20,275 --> 00:23:22,027
- Yeah.
- Okay.

536
00:23:22,110 --> 00:23:23,403
- It's good that he understands.
- Yeah.

537
00:23:23,487 --> 00:23:24,613
He would get fired otherwise.

538
00:23:26,615 --> 00:23:28,367
This was confusing to me.

539
00:23:28,492 --> 00:23:33,205
I recently acted in a dramatic series
that aired on Paramount Plus,

540
00:23:33,288 --> 00:23:36,249
a network with some
questionable viewpoints.

541
00:23:36,333 --> 00:23:38,960
In the show,
I had to act as a husband

542
00:23:39,044 --> 00:23:41,213
who was deeply in love with his wife.

543
00:23:41,296 --> 00:23:43,507
- I'm so happy.
- You are.

544
00:23:44,299 --> 00:23:45,550
You are happy.

545
00:23:45,634 --> 00:23:49,721
But even though I was mimicking
the expressions of a man in love,

546
00:23:49,805 --> 00:23:51,056
inside my head,

547
00:23:51,181 --> 00:23:54,768
I didn't feel that at all
for the actress playing my wife.

548
00:23:55,185 --> 00:23:57,646
I was basically
just copying the expressions

549
00:23:57,729 --> 00:24:01,650
of other people in love
that I had seen on TV and movies.

550
00:24:02,734 --> 00:24:06,530
So I didn't understand how an actor
can be feeling real love

551
00:24:06,613 --> 00:24:09,157
in a completely fake relationship.

552
00:24:13,286 --> 00:24:15,789
We had an intimacy coordinator on set

553
00:24:15,872 --> 00:24:18,041
that the actors were free to consult with

554
00:24:18,125 --> 00:24:19,876
before doing anything with each other.

555
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,170
So what did they say they wanted to do?

556
00:24:22,504 --> 00:24:25,298
Well, they said that
they've already kissed a lot,

557
00:24:26,007 --> 00:24:28,301
so that's obviously okay with them.

558
00:24:28,969 --> 00:24:32,681
Like, physically, they seem like
they're really… comfortable.

559
00:24:32,764 --> 00:24:34,724
You know she has a boyfriend, right?

560
00:24:34,933 --> 00:24:36,476
In real life?

561
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,270
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

562
00:24:38,687 --> 00:24:39,813
She didn't mention it.

563
00:24:39,896 --> 00:24:42,107
Oh, no, but I'm just saying, like…

564
00:24:43,150 --> 00:24:44,276
Yeah.

565
00:24:45,986 --> 00:24:47,362
It's weird, isn't it?

566
00:24:47,446 --> 00:24:51,116
But it's one of those things
that like actors get to do.

567
00:24:54,035 --> 00:24:55,245
I know.

568
00:24:56,538 --> 00:24:59,166
Because this wasn't
a traditional acting role,

569
00:24:59,249 --> 00:25:02,169
in an effort
to maintain full transparency,

570
00:25:02,252 --> 00:25:04,254
I encouraged the actors to invite

571
00:25:04,337 --> 00:25:06,465
any significant others they might have

572
00:25:06,548 --> 00:25:08,800
to come observe everything
we were doing.

573
00:25:08,884 --> 00:25:12,721
- She's pretty talented, huh?
- Yeah. Look at her go.

574
00:25:14,514 --> 00:25:16,016
How long you guys been together?

575
00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:17,559
A year and a half.

576
00:25:17,684 --> 00:25:19,060
- Oh, nice.
- Yeah.

577
00:25:20,353 --> 00:25:22,355
But we've known each other
for longer than that.

578
00:25:22,606 --> 00:25:23,982
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

579
00:25:28,612 --> 00:25:29,946
You cool with all this?

580
00:25:30,697 --> 00:25:32,032
She's an actress.

581
00:25:32,324 --> 00:25:35,577
I was realizing there's
this magical thing that happens

582
00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:37,871
when people say that they're acting.

583
00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:40,499
For these guys…

584
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:45,837
could you ask them how far
they'd be comfortable going

585
00:25:45,921 --> 00:25:48,590
in terms of intimacy?

586
00:25:49,049 --> 00:25:51,885
So part of that is up to you,

587
00:25:52,010 --> 00:25:54,137
like, in terms of…
'cause you're the director, like…

588
00:25:54,596 --> 00:25:57,807
What is the story that you want
to tell through the intimacy?

589
00:25:58,850 --> 00:26:00,727
I'd like to leave it up to them…

590
00:26:01,186 --> 00:26:04,022
- if that's okay.
- Okay. Okay.

591
00:26:08,068 --> 00:26:09,236
Take it off.

592
00:26:15,242 --> 00:26:18,912
I mean, it's not like
my favorite thing to see

593
00:26:18,995 --> 00:26:22,290
but it doesn't feel like I'm watching

594
00:26:22,999 --> 00:26:25,085
my girlfriend get intimate
with another man.

595
00:26:25,168 --> 00:26:30,507
It feels like… I'm watching
the character she's created.

596
00:26:30,924 --> 00:26:35,720
Like, she's assumed a character,
and I assume so has he.

597
00:26:35,804 --> 00:26:36,930
So, it's…

598
00:26:38,056 --> 00:26:41,434
It's in a weird way
like removed from themselves.

599
00:26:41,768 --> 00:26:44,688
It was like the concept of acting itself

600
00:26:44,771 --> 00:26:46,940
disarmed everyone in its presence.

601
00:26:47,023 --> 00:26:49,442
- Oh, hi!
- How's it going?

602
00:26:49,526 --> 00:26:54,114
And the actor gets a free pass
for virtually any behavior.

603
00:26:55,490 --> 00:26:57,492
Everything I'd been trying to do

604
00:26:57,576 --> 00:27:01,079
just comes down
to getting co-pilots and captains

605
00:27:01,162 --> 00:27:03,790
to both act on their true feelings.

606
00:27:04,332 --> 00:27:07,043
Either speaking up about their fears,

607
00:27:07,127 --> 00:27:11,256
or admitting to your co-pilot
that you might not know everything.

608
00:27:11,631 --> 00:27:14,968
These are feelings
that every pilot already has,

609
00:27:15,093 --> 00:27:17,345
but many struggle to act upon

610
00:27:17,429 --> 00:27:19,973
because they fear the consequences.

611
00:27:20,515 --> 00:27:24,185
Could the concept of acting
give pilots a loophole

612
00:27:24,269 --> 00:27:26,813
to do the things they're most afraid of?

613
00:27:26,938 --> 00:27:29,024
So have you ever acted before?

614
00:27:29,899 --> 00:27:30,942
No, I haven't.

615
00:27:31,276 --> 00:27:34,321
Is it something you'd be interested
in giving a try?

616
00:27:36,531 --> 00:27:37,532
Possibly.

617
00:27:38,033 --> 00:27:40,535
So this scene will be mostly improv,

618
00:27:40,619 --> 00:27:42,871
and your character
is named Captain Powers

619
00:27:42,954 --> 00:27:44,205
- in this, okay?
- All right.

620
00:27:44,289 --> 00:27:45,332
- A little funny, right?
- Yeah.

621
00:27:45,415 --> 00:27:48,001
And he's called that
because he actually has a power,

622
00:27:48,126 --> 00:27:50,128
which is that every date he goes on,

623
00:27:50,712 --> 00:27:55,550
he has no problem asking for a kiss
and then doing it. Okay?

624
00:27:56,134 --> 00:27:59,346
And the other character
is named Jennifer Kissme.

625
00:27:59,763 --> 00:28:02,515
And Jennifer will be played by Emma.

626
00:28:02,891 --> 00:28:04,100
- Okay.
- Okay.

627
00:28:04,184 --> 00:28:05,935
- Who's an actress, as you know.
- Yeah.

628
00:28:06,019 --> 00:28:09,022
All right. Well, let me go get
your scene partner then.

629
00:28:09,105 --> 00:28:10,106
Okay.

630
00:28:13,818 --> 00:28:15,528
For your character, just think about

631
00:28:15,612 --> 00:28:16,946
where you're coming from,

632
00:28:17,030 --> 00:28:18,782
what you're doing now,
and where you're going.

633
00:28:19,157 --> 00:28:21,534
Okay, I'm inviting this person
back to my apartment.

634
00:28:21,618 --> 00:28:23,953
Like, how do you feel about me
as the character?

635
00:28:24,037 --> 00:28:25,330
- Like, think about that.
- Yep.

636
00:28:25,413 --> 00:28:26,414
It's not that bad.

637
00:28:26,498 --> 00:28:27,916
It's literally like, it's nothing, dude.

638
00:28:27,999 --> 00:28:29,751
It's… It's… I could not fly a plane.

639
00:28:29,834 --> 00:28:31,670
You can act. Like, anybody can…

640
00:28:32,253 --> 00:28:34,214
- You're just being yourself. So…
- Okay.

641
00:28:34,339 --> 00:28:36,091
Wow. Yeah, it's really nice.

642
00:28:36,174 --> 00:28:37,384
- Thank you.
- Yeah.

643
00:28:37,467 --> 00:28:38,718
A little bit cluttered, but…

644
00:28:39,219 --> 00:28:41,262
- Really good picture.
- Yeah, that was about 9,000 feet

645
00:28:41,346 --> 00:28:43,264
descending into Indianapolis.

646
00:28:43,348 --> 00:28:44,516
What camera do you have?

647
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:46,476
- That was just an iPhone.
- Can I sit down?

648
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:47,936
- Oh yeah, of course.
- Yeah?

649
00:28:48,019 --> 00:28:49,270
Yeah, that's really cool.

650
00:28:50,313 --> 00:28:52,190
Yeah, I don't know
where I got the eye for photography

651
00:28:52,315 --> 00:28:53,817
'cause neither of my parents
are good at it.

652
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:54,901
- Really?
- Yeah.

653
00:28:55,026 --> 00:28:56,945
And then I can use the tipper here and…

654
00:29:02,409 --> 00:29:05,328
They are very well known
for their red wines.

655
00:29:05,412 --> 00:29:06,913
- Okay.
- Like the Malbecs.

656
00:29:07,288 --> 00:29:09,040
Well, what's the best one,
have you noticed?

657
00:29:09,124 --> 00:29:12,001
I think overall my favorites
are from Portugal.

658
00:29:12,085 --> 00:29:13,253
- Yeah?
- For such a small country,

659
00:29:13,336 --> 00:29:16,297
they've got a pretty wide variety
of climates to grow.

660
00:29:16,339 --> 00:29:18,550
So you get subtle differences
depending on where you get it.

661
00:29:18,633 --> 00:29:21,177
If you get it from the north side
or from the south side.

662
00:29:21,803 --> 00:29:23,012
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

663
00:29:27,434 --> 00:29:28,768
Yeah.

664
00:29:31,438 --> 00:29:32,439
Can I kiss you?

665
00:29:43,366 --> 00:29:44,492
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

666
00:29:46,911 --> 00:29:47,954
I don't know.

667
00:29:48,538 --> 00:29:49,664
You don't know?

668
00:29:49,748 --> 00:29:52,208
We could open up one of
those bottles of wine, if you like.

669
00:29:52,417 --> 00:29:53,460
Sure.

670
00:29:54,794 --> 00:29:58,381
Maybe we all need
an excuse to be our true selves,

671
00:29:58,465 --> 00:30:00,383
and we're just looking for permission.

672
00:30:00,467 --> 00:30:02,177
I'm trying to be like, "Portugal,"

673
00:30:02,260 --> 00:30:03,803
- or like, "Yeah, yeah."
- No.

674
00:30:04,012 --> 00:30:05,138
Yeah, it's good.

675
00:30:05,221 --> 00:30:06,347
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

676
00:30:09,642 --> 00:30:10,727
Yeah.

677
00:30:12,061 --> 00:30:14,731
It was hard to know
the meaning of a single kiss

678
00:30:14,814 --> 00:30:16,357
on someone's cheek.

679
00:30:17,192 --> 00:30:21,029
But if this allowed a co-pilot to act
on how they really feel,

680
00:30:21,696 --> 00:30:24,199
maybe I was actually onto something.

681
00:30:24,407 --> 00:30:25,575
You actually did really good.

682
00:30:25,658 --> 00:30:27,160
- I didn't think… I mean, I was…
- Thank you.

683
00:30:27,243 --> 00:30:29,579
Yeah, that tip you gave me
about figuring out where…

684
00:30:29,662 --> 00:30:32,415
like, where we came from
rather than just, you show up…

685
00:30:32,499 --> 00:30:34,083
- Yeah.
- …was very helpful.

686
00:30:36,753 --> 00:30:37,837
Oh, wow.

687
00:30:38,338 --> 00:30:40,548
So HBO is paying for all this,

688
00:30:40,632 --> 00:30:43,510
and they basically gave me,
you know, a blank check

689
00:30:43,593 --> 00:30:45,220
as long as I don't go over budget.

690
00:30:45,386 --> 00:30:46,387
Wow.

691
00:30:46,638 --> 00:30:48,890
Yeah, the only requirement is that…

692
00:30:49,766 --> 00:30:52,477
everything I'm doing
related to aviation safety

693
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,730
has to be
somewhat entertaining, I guess.

694
00:30:55,939 --> 00:30:58,024
Right. That's what sells.

695
00:31:05,156 --> 00:31:06,783
- You recognize this?
- Yeah, I do.

696
00:31:07,367 --> 00:31:08,910
I knew that the only place

697
00:31:08,993 --> 00:31:13,248
to make real change happen
in aviation is through Congress.

698
00:31:13,414 --> 00:31:17,210
That's what former NTSB member
John Goglia told me.

699
00:31:17,502 --> 00:31:20,088
And he said
that if I ever had a solution

700
00:31:20,171 --> 00:31:23,424
to this cockpit communication issue
I've been exploring,

701
00:31:23,508 --> 00:31:25,885
we could work together
to get it on the radar

702
00:31:25,969 --> 00:31:28,263
of lawmakers in Washington, D.C.

703
00:31:28,346 --> 00:31:30,890
This is some footage I've captured.

704
00:31:31,933 --> 00:31:33,768
These are real pilots.

705
00:31:33,893 --> 00:31:37,146
They're not saying
a single word to each other.

706
00:31:37,230 --> 00:31:38,439
Right. I see it all over.

707
00:31:38,523 --> 00:31:39,691
- You see it?
- Yeah.

708
00:31:39,774 --> 00:31:42,610
In my research, I'm finding out
all these pilots…

709
00:31:42,735 --> 00:31:44,404
there's all this time before the flight

710
00:31:44,487 --> 00:31:45,864
where they're hanging out

711
00:31:45,947 --> 00:31:48,449
in the pilot's lounge
or in different situations,

712
00:31:48,533 --> 00:31:50,034
and they're just sitting apart.

713
00:31:50,118 --> 00:31:51,995
Yep, I see that, too.

714
00:31:52,245 --> 00:31:53,454
- You do?
- Yes.

715
00:31:53,538 --> 00:31:57,917
So, I'm thinking it's less about,
you know, this critical moment

716
00:31:58,001 --> 00:31:59,752
where you might need
to take over the controls

717
00:31:59,836 --> 00:32:00,962
and assert yourself,

718
00:32:01,045 --> 00:32:04,340
and more about trying
to establish a relationship

719
00:32:04,674 --> 00:32:07,927
from the very start so there's no friction

720
00:32:08,219 --> 00:32:10,138
when an emergency actually happens.

721
00:32:10,221 --> 00:32:11,848
- Right, right.
- Does that make sense?

722
00:32:11,931 --> 00:32:13,057
That does make sense.

723
00:32:13,433 --> 00:32:17,145
I don't think anybody's focused in
on that part of it. The…

724
00:32:17,687 --> 00:32:20,315
Most of the programs
have been focused in the cockpit,

725
00:32:20,899 --> 00:32:23,776
and they're not looking
outside the cockpit.

726
00:32:23,860 --> 00:32:25,445
And I think there's some low-hanging fruit

727
00:32:25,528 --> 00:32:26,613
outside the cockpit.

728
00:32:27,238 --> 00:32:29,324
Why am I the only one talking about this?

729
00:32:29,407 --> 00:32:31,826
I don't think the airlines
are focused in on it.

730
00:32:32,493 --> 00:32:34,162
Congress can be motivated,

731
00:32:34,329 --> 00:32:40,001
but Congress is a difficult place
to drive change.

732
00:32:40,627 --> 00:32:42,170
But I think you're onto something.

733
00:32:42,712 --> 00:32:44,964
Sorry, give me one sec here.

734
00:32:53,681 --> 00:32:55,475
Chairs don't move that easily, I guess.

735
00:33:05,777 --> 00:33:07,946
Amazing grace!

736
00:33:08,029 --> 00:33:12,659
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!

737
00:33:12,825 --> 00:33:14,160
Amazing grace!

738
00:33:14,243 --> 00:33:17,413
I once was lost but now I'm found

739
00:33:17,497 --> 00:33:19,749
Was blind but now I see

740
00:33:19,832 --> 00:33:21,709
Amazing grace!

741
00:33:21,793 --> 00:33:24,087
I once was lost

742
00:33:24,212 --> 00:33:27,840
But now I'm found

743
00:33:27,966 --> 00:33:34,097
Was blind but now I see

744
00:33:34,263 --> 00:33:37,558
Amazing grace

745
00:33:37,684 --> 00:33:40,478
How sweet the sound

746
00:33:40,603 --> 00:33:45,233
That saved a wretch like me

747
00:33:45,358 --> 00:33:46,734
- Me
- Me
