00:01What would you do if your entire family and your hometown set you up on three blind dates?
00:15This week, we've got a guy, Larry, who is a man, is about to find out.
00:28This is Small Town Setup, and I'm Ashley Williams.
00:35Larry is a businessman and an athlete, and he's been jet-setting all across the world.
00:41He lives in New York City, but what if love were here waiting for him all along?
00:49Larry's parents want him to find love in Douglasville.
00:52Also, Larry's brother is already engaged, and he's 22.
00:57He's younger than Larry, so the competition is on.
01:03We're about to embark on a romantic adventure filled with heart, hope, and a hefty dose
01:10of small-town charm.
01:12Larry's handsome.
01:13He's a bit dreamy.
01:14Can I say that?
01:33Hi.
01:34Hi, Veronica.
01:35It's a pleasure.
01:36I'm Ashley.
01:37Hi, nice to meet you.
01:38Thank you for coming.
01:39Thank you so much for having me.
01:40It's a pleasure.
01:41I'm Ashley.
01:42Hi, nice to meet you.
01:43Thank you for coming.
01:44Thank you so much for having me in your home.
01:46You're so welcome.
01:47It's beautiful.
01:48Oh, and the air conditioning.
01:49You can't beat it.
01:50Oh, I brought you some, like, oils and vinegars from Farmer's Table in town.
01:54Yeah.
01:55That sounds great.
01:56Thank you so much.
01:57You made my day.
01:58Of course.
01:59Oh, good.
02:00That was easy.
02:01Hello.
02:02Are you Larry?
02:03I'm Larry.
02:04Larry's father.
02:05Thank you so much for having us.
02:07Oh, yeah.
02:08It's gonna be a ball.
02:09Did you raise Larry in this house?
02:10Yes.
02:11Really?
02:13Have you ever set Larry up on a date before?
02:17No.
02:18I mean, this is unusual.
02:20So, tell me a little bit about him.
02:22He is an athlete.
02:23He is very competitive and smart boy.
02:26He's always trying everything new.
02:28He's got his hands in 500 things at the same time, and I think that spilled over into his
02:32social life.
02:33Like, he doesn't want one or two or three lady friends.
02:36He wants 100.
02:37He threw a birthday party in New York.
02:38He rented a venue in Manhattan.
02:41They had standing room only and winding around the street for people to get in.
02:44He just invited basically all of Manhattan to his birthday party.
02:49So, what type of women have you seen resonate with him?
02:52Most of the girls are beautiful, well-mannered, and well-traveled.
02:56Well-educated.
02:57Well-educated.
02:58Tall.
02:59Brunette hair.
03:00What I'm hearing is, like, very social, loves to party, loves to be out.
03:05Do you feel like he gravitates more towards party girls?
03:09I think so.
03:10Really?
03:11I think so, because he likes to party.
03:12He does.
03:13He's a party boy, yeah.
03:14I mean, that sounds really fun.
03:16He's had a fun life.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Tell me your origin story, because the two of you, really solid, loving influence in
03:25his life.
03:26I was 25, and yeah.
03:28Ooh, that's the same age as Larry is right now.
03:32He came to Mexico for work.
03:34I never thought I was going to be dating him.
03:37And now we've been together for 27 years.
03:40So what is the urgency to find somebody for Larry right now?
03:44I'm getting older, and I want those grandkids, you know?
03:47It gets really tough having them that far away.
03:49On the subject of grandkids, I know that you have another son.
03:52Oh, yeah.
03:53Younger son.
03:54And he's engaged, and he's 22.
03:55Tell me his name.
03:56Artie.
03:57Do you think Artie is going to have children pretty soon?
04:00Oh, yeah.
04:01He's the one that is ready.
04:02I have to stop him for a while.
04:05I'm like, just if you want to get married, that's fine, but at least until you're 23.
04:09He has already planned his future life.
04:11You mentioned Larry's a little bit competitive.
04:14So do you think now that Artie is engaged that that could be influencing Larry a little bit?
04:18Oh, yeah.
04:19Right?
04:20Yeah.
04:21So what type of women are you looking for?
04:23Somebody different now.
04:25Maybe not the party girl.
04:27Somebody who is into art, sports, family-oriented.
04:30Loves to travel.
04:31Loves to travel.
04:32Bilingual.
04:33Of course, he would like somebody tall.
04:36What else?
04:37Not too clingy.
04:38Not too clingy?
04:39Not too clingy.
04:40Clingy.
04:41Not too clingy.
04:42Clingy.
04:43I think we're going to find this girl.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Let's go.
04:46Let's go.
04:47Yeah.
04:48This is a football item?
04:49Yeah.
04:50Well, actually, it's a leather jacket.
04:51Ooh.
04:52Nice.
04:53See?
04:54It was football.
04:55Did you go to all the games?
04:56Yes.
04:57Friday Night Light.
04:58Hi.
04:59Welcome.
05:00This is my son.

16:29I'm not the type of girl who's going to quickly
16:31and desperately try to find a guy
16:32and settle down in the name of babies
16:34because I'm not like that maternally motivated
16:37in the sense that like I would compromise everything else.
16:40But I would love for it to be a conversation
16:43and not an expectation.
16:45Great to meet you.
16:46Thank you so much for the opportunity.
16:49Yeah, thank you guys.
17:00Larry, Larry.
17:01Good to see you.
17:02What's happening, bro?
17:03Good to see you, brother.
17:04Good to see you too, man.
17:05You been all right?
17:05Yeah.
17:06Nice to be back in Douglasville.
17:08There's no place like home.
17:10My parents got me into some stuff.
17:11I thought I was coming down to chill.
17:13My mom like invited a bunch of the people
17:15from the city of Douglasville,
17:17set me up on some dates.
17:19Did you know about this meeting?
17:21I ran into, I see your dad sometimes.
17:23So yeah, I knew.
17:24Yeah.
17:25I want to see you go through with it
17:26and see what happens.
17:27It's time to find a wife.
17:28It's time to find a wife, bro.
17:29I don't know how it is for you.
17:30For me, I got to settle down
17:31before my hairline takes off on me, man.
17:33Right.
17:34Look, brother, dating pool has some waste in it, bro.
17:37Like I said, you find a good one.
17:40Settle down.
17:40Settle it quick.
17:42I mean, like what else are you looking for?
17:44Someone who wakes up in the morning
17:45and like wants to better themselves.
17:46That wants to take advantage of the day.
17:49Someone that really like has that mentality.
17:52Seeing the extent of effort
17:54that my parents put into this experience
17:56and trying to find a partner
17:58definitely makes me reevaluate.
18:00Like maybe I should start to consider to settle down
18:03and really build towards something similar
18:05to what my parents have.
18:07Was your mom like 26 when she had you?
18:10Yeah, she was about my age.
18:12About that age, bro.
18:13I mean, when are you thinking you want kids?
18:15It's a thing.
18:16I don't want to be an old dad.
18:17Like I don't want to be able to grow up with kids.
18:19After you spend enough time in the big city,
18:21at some point, I do think home calls
18:23and it's time to settle down.
18:25Face a little different reality a little bit.
18:27Yeah, I think it's about that time for you, man, you know.
18:31Well, we'll see what my parents put together.
18:32I think we're getting into it tomorrow.
18:34You only live once.
18:35Yeah.
18:36You're next.
18:37You know, maybe there's a woman waiting for me down here.
18:39Who knows?
18:40Yeah.
18:47I think they're all beautiful, but we have to decide.
18:52I really believe Melissa needs to be one of them.
18:55Do you like her?
18:55I like her a lot.
18:56Do you like Latina?
18:57I like Latina.
18:58What can I tell you?
18:59They're married too.
19:00No, it's just, she's so down to earth.
19:02She's just not another New York party girl.
19:04I think she's at a stage where she's ready to get married.
19:09Nadia, I think she's very smart.
19:11Oh, she's incredibly smart.
19:13She comes from a nice family.
19:16And she's thinking about family, and that's good.
19:17She's thinking about family, and I think she's so sweet.
19:22Yeah, she's something else.
19:25I definitely like her.
19:26Oh, sizzling.
19:27I just really love the fact she comes
19:29from a small town farming community.
19:30That's how I grew up, you know.
19:32I like her, for sure.
19:34Plus, she's a great Brace fan.
19:35Come on, that's nice.
19:39She's so lovely.
19:40I think it's so nice, but I think she doesn't-
19:44I think Larry would have fun with her.
19:45I don't know.
19:50She's a very smart girl.
19:51She's intelligent and independent.
19:54I think she's beautiful.
19:54She's just at a different maturity level.
19:56She's advanced.
19:57I think so.
19:58I don't think that would be a good match.
20:00But Melissa, she's gotta be one of the three.
20:02And Sicily, there might be a clip there with Larry.
20:05I like the attorney.
20:07Nadia.
20:07She's well-educated.
20:09She likes to travel.
20:11I'm good with it.
20:12Here we go.
20:13Nadia.
20:14Nadia.
20:15Sicily.
20:15And Melissa.
20:16Melissa.
20:17All right, so-
20:18Now it's up to Larry.
20:19What?
20:40Nice tie!
20:41Oh my gosh, hello everybody!
20:44Hey!
20:45Everybody, we are here!
20:46Woo hoo hoo hoo!
20:48Welcome back to those of you
20:50who were with us the other day.
20:51I feel like this family has really come a long way
20:55and Larry's learned a lot about himself.
20:58So right now, we all get the opportunity
21:02to watch the dates live.
21:04Woo!
21:06Now, I need to call up the parents.
21:10Veronica and Larry, come on up.
21:14So can you tell us, who are the people that you chose
21:18for Larry to go on some dates with?
21:19We picked-
21:20Sicily.
21:21Sicily.
21:22Nadia.
21:23Nadia.
21:24And Melissa.
21:25Melissa.
21:26And Melissa, okay.
21:27Yes.
21:27So is everybody ready?
21:28Yes!
21:29Yay!
21:31Okay.
21:33After we watch the dates, we're all gonna vote
21:35on who we think Larry should go on another date with.
21:38Okay, now we're gonna tune in to Larry and Sicily's date.

21:49Sicily, nice to meet you.
21:50Hello.
21:51Nice to meet you.
21:52Oh my gosh.
21:53I was a bit nervous walking up.
21:54She's turned around.
21:55My first impression is just like,
21:56oh, she's got very pretty hair.
21:58I like the color.
21:59I heard that you like active dates.
22:00Yes.
22:01As do I.
22:02All right.
22:03So we're gonna be taking this little vintage paddle boat out.
22:08All right.
22:09Okay, let's do it.

22:23Oh, we're gonna float away.
22:24Don't float away.
22:27So, okay, so where are you living now?
22:28So I'm in New York.
22:29Okay, so in New York, what do you do?
22:31Like, give me a day in the life of Larry.
22:32A day in the life, man.
22:33I mean, I've been working financial services, weekends.
22:36I like to get active, DJing.
22:38Do you?
22:39Yeah.
22:40You do like events and stuff.
22:41Yeah, like I'll be the one to like book the gig,
22:43like book the venue.
22:44Like, it's a fun time.
22:46So have you been dating people in New York?
22:48Or is it just like almost impossible to find somebody?
22:50I've been single for about a year or so.
22:52Just get to know some people here and there.
22:53I feel like New York's such an interesting place.
22:55Like everybody's kind of on their own timeline.
22:57Everybody's just like,
22:57all right, I'm here to do this, this, and this.
22:59And then like, get out.
23:00You know?
23:01Like, I don't think anybody moves there to be like,
23:03let's settle down here.
23:04Let's figure out a home in New York, you know?
23:06Is that what you're trying to do?
23:08Oh man, I don't know.
23:09It might be about that time.
23:11Yeah.
23:12It might be about that time.
23:13Is a lot of your circle here in Georgia?
23:15Yeah.
23:16I've moved around a good bit.
23:17Lived in Colorado, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida.
23:21So I have friends all over,
23:22but my closest friends are all who I grew up with here.
23:27Just slow this down.
23:28I don't want to crash into the cup.
23:32Honestly, not bad.
23:33That wasn't, oh.
23:34Close it up.
23:35I spoke too soon.
23:36Made it end up.
23:38Next thing is a little picnic.
23:40Cute.
23:42Not to be a red flag,
23:43but I am a little scared of ducks.
23:45I was just like, I was trying to be aware of all,
23:48so like know my surroundings.
23:50So we got our little bag of goodies.
23:53Oh, this is awesome.
23:54I'm so excited.
23:56Get a nice little spread going.
23:58I hear tell that your dad is the chef in the family.
24:02Yeah.
24:03So quite the expectation to live up to, but.
24:06I mean, knows how to throw down some good Cajun food.
24:08Yeah.
24:09Your mom was like straight to it.
24:11She was kind of talking about you
24:12and she was kind of explaining
24:14you being in New York
24:15and then them trying to kind of find somebody for you.
24:19I want to know why they're so involved in your love life.
24:21I know why my parents are.
24:23She's getting right to it.
24:25I feel like my past dating has just been like,
24:27I don't know.
24:28I never really took it that serious
24:29at the end of the day.
24:30I think my parents could pick up on that
24:31and I think they're like, all right, like.
24:33They're like, chop, chop the onions.
24:34Yeah, you know, like.
24:35My brother is getting married next year.
24:38Like he's already in Caj and he's younger, you know.
24:41He digs her.
24:42He digs her.
24:44Do you do a lot of traveling to other countries?
24:45I like to, I like to travel.
24:47Latin America, Europe specifically,
24:50France, Spain, Barcelona.
24:52Have you ever been?
24:53I have not.
24:53I've always wanted to though.
24:55I would love to do like a European backpacking trip
24:58or something.
24:59I'm looking for a best friend
25:01that you also want to do life with and yeah.
25:03Like I definitely want to go out
25:05and keep doing things with like a partner.
25:07As opposed to just, you know, hiding away.
25:10Yeah.
25:11Yeah.
25:12Well, I mean, I would love to,
25:13I would love to hang out with you again
25:14if you ever have any free time.
25:17Yeah, absolutely.
25:23Cool.
25:24Well, it was great meeting you.
25:25Thanks for spending time.
25:26Yeah, absolutely.
25:27Likewise.

25:29Oh my gosh.
25:30Shout out to your parents, right?
25:30Oh my gosh.
25:31For real.
25:35I love it.
25:39Let's go ahead and we're going to watch Larry and Nadia.
25:43Let's go.
25:56Hello.
25:57Hi.
25:58All right.
25:59Nice to meet you.
26:00Nice to meet you as well.
26:01What's your name?
26:02Nadia.
26:03Nadia, I'm Larry.
26:03Nice to meet you.
26:04It's a pleasure.
26:05All right.
26:06What are we getting into here?
26:07Candle making.
26:08This looks like fun.
26:09All right.
26:10Do you have a favorite scent?
26:11Generally, I think like tobacco
26:12or like the stronger style scents.
26:15I like those.
26:16I do like lavender.
26:18Flirty has a scent.
26:19Put this one on real quick.
26:27You're like from Georgia?
26:29I was born in Saudi Arabia, but yeah.
26:33I've lived in Georgia most of my life.
26:35Like what brought your family to Saudi Arabia?
26:37My dad worked there.
26:39So my dad's actually from Ghana.
26:42And my mom's from Decatur.
26:44So that's why we came back here.
26:45Are you closer with like your mom or your dad?
26:47So I grew up being a daddy's girl,
26:49but I feel like the more I've been getting into womanhood,
26:51starting to get really close with my mom.
26:53I feel like sometimes she calls me for advice.
26:56Oh really?
26:57Yeah, it's kind of weird.
26:58You're getting to that point.
26:59Yeah.
27:00Like, I don't know what to do.
27:00I've had that here and there now too.
27:02Oh really?
27:03Like my parents ask me like,
27:04I don't necessarily, I'm like, I don't know.
27:05You're supposed to tell me.
27:07Yeah, I'm like, why are you telling me about this?
27:09Yeah, right?
27:10How's dating been for you?
27:14It's been kind of horrible.
27:17Yeah, it's actually been kind of horrible.
27:19I love how honest she's been.
27:20I've been single for two years now.
27:23I'm 28.
27:23So like my plan is to be married by 30.
27:27Is that going to happen?
27:28I'm not sure.
27:29But.
27:32So are you ready like for a relationship?
27:34Cause you're 25.
27:37Oops.
27:38Oops.
27:41Yeah.
27:42Yeah.
27:43I think so.
27:44I think dating around with intent is kind of where I'm at.
27:48You get to that age, a younger brother just got engaged.
27:50So family's kind of like, what's going on here?
27:53And so maybe I should start taking this
27:55a little bit more serious.
27:56Maybe have a little more intent here.
27:57Yeah.
27:58Do you want to be married?
27:59Yeah, absolutely.
28:00Interesting.
28:01Absolutely.
28:02Do you want some little ones running around?
28:04Yeah.
28:05I feel like that'd be fun.
28:06Yeah.
28:07Wait.
28:08But I'm curious about like your work and whatnot.
28:10So are you going to be like partner of a firm?
28:13Is that who you're trying to make it to?
28:14I don't want to do anything that doesn't have like
28:16the work-life balance that I'm looking for.
28:19My dad would always tell me like
28:20everything in like moderation, you know?
28:22You don't ever take anything like too intense,
28:25too hard, any one direction.
28:26Like as long as you find that balance, like.
28:28Yeah.
28:28You'll be happy.
28:29I think that's some great advice.
28:30Yeah, you know, big Larry got some wisdom.
28:33Yeah.
28:34Like.
28:35We want to find out how this comes out.
28:36Yeah.
28:37I hope you like the scent that goes with it.
28:42I don't know how this one actually came out.
28:44Yeah.
28:45I don't love it as much as I thought I did.
28:47So let me know what you think.
28:49Oh, yours smells good.
28:50Okay.
28:52Yours smells like.
28:53Your face when you smell mine, you're like, oh yeah.
28:54This is hot.
28:55Maybe some cleaning products.
28:55That's a trick.
29:01It does, guys.
29:02It does.
29:03It does.
29:04It does kind of.
29:05Yes.
29:06At least my house was not clean.
29:07Yeah.
29:10Nadia was definitely beautiful.
29:11She had a great smile, personality.
29:13We have similar perspectives on life,
29:15like to have a good time.
29:15My parents definitely saw she had her head on straight,
29:18like very goal-oriented.
29:20I feel like that could be something to explore.
29:24So nice meeting you.
29:25Nice meeting you too.
29:29Eating with intent.
29:31The competition is on.
29:34I am into it.
29:37Is everybody ready for our last date?
29:40All right.
29:41We're going to watch Melissa and Larry's.
29:43Here we go.

30:04He changed.
30:05Curious to know how you met my parents at all.
30:07I know they're trying to get a bit involved in here.
30:10Yeah, I like them.
30:11They kind of remind me of my parents actually.
30:12Really?
30:13My mom's like a small Chilean Hispanic lady
30:14and my dad's like an old white guy.
30:16Oh, yep.
30:17No, wait.
30:18I am familiar with that type.
30:20Yeah.
30:22My first impression of Melissa, she was a little shy.
30:25I could see a little bit of the nervousness.
30:27I thought it was kind of cute, you know,
30:29like not going to lie, I'm attracted to her.
30:30If you want to play a game,
30:33it's a better way to kind of get to know each other
30:34a little bit.
30:35Drink the ice a little, get it going.
30:38Let's see.
30:39Oh, I got one.
30:40Oh my God, I'm scared.
30:41Okay.
30:42Oh, dear.

30:45I haven't heard a knock knock joke.
30:46I'm dead.
30:47Okay, I only know one.
30:49Better than I am.
30:51Okay, so knock knock.
30:53Who's there?

30:59It's either.
31:01Okay.

31:02Who's there?
31:03Orange.
31:04Yeah, I forgot the format, right?
31:05Glad I didn't say banana.
31:08Wait, why is that funny?
31:09I don't know.
31:09Is that funny?
31:10I have better material.
31:11This is my first time playing LOL.

31:15I'll allow it.
31:17Get the juicy slot.
31:18Okay.
31:19It's all about balance.
31:20Yes.

32:25That would be nice.
32:26Oh, so you like to dance?
32:27You've got to have some.
32:28Yeah.
32:30You mentioned your reflex is wants kids
32:33or does not want kids.
32:35The other way around.
32:36I like kids.
32:37But I want to like have a partner
32:38and like experience life with a partner.
32:41And I also want to enjoy my youth.
32:42Yeah, exactly.
32:43But I don't necessarily want to be an old dad either.
32:45So I got to like find that balance, you know,
32:48to be able to like enjoy life with a partner.
32:50Okay.
32:54Well, this was fun, Larry.
32:56Yeah.
32:56I'm glad I met you.
32:58Yeah, this was great.
33:02No, I'm just kidding.
33:05We'll give you a hug.
33:06Okay.
33:06Yay.
33:07Bye.
33:08So great meeting you.
33:09So great meeting you too.
33:10See you again, maybe.
33:11See what we can make happen.
33:15Wow.
33:17We learned a lot.
33:18We learned a lot.
33:19We want to hear all of your opinions.
33:22So we are actually going to conduct a poll right here.
33:26We have a little ballot.
33:28Take a pen and you're going to write
33:30who you think is the perfect match for Larry.
33:34Come on up.
33:39I pick Nadia because she's very successful at home.
33:44I think Larry should pick Melissa
33:47because they have so much in common.
33:49I'd like to pick Nadia
33:50because I think they were cool together.
33:53I think Cicely.
33:54I hate it's not Charlie, but Cicely.
33:57That's my vote for Cicely.
33:59I think she'd probably be the best for him to settle down
34:01and start that family.
34:12Hi.
34:14Hello.
34:15Great to meet you.
34:16It's so good to meet you.
34:17I've been here helping your parents
34:18look for the right person for you.
34:20Hello, hello.
34:20Hi.
34:21Thank you so much for hanging out with me.
34:23Yeah, absolutely.
34:24This will be great.
34:25This will be great.
34:26Well, I feel like I know you already
34:27because I've hung out with your family.
34:30You got to meet the parents.
34:32There's so much love there for you.
34:33And in the community as well.
34:35Okay, so what was it like
34:36when your brother got engaged before you did?
34:39We kind of saw it coming.
34:40You did?
34:41They'd been together for what, three, four years now.
34:44Did it make you feel like,
34:45okay, I got to get on this a little bit?
34:47It was a little bit of a-
34:48Because I know you guys are a little bit competitive.
34:49A little bit of a kick.
34:50I was just like, you're doing this.
34:52What am I doing, you know?
34:53So let's talk a little bit
34:55about what went on in these dates.
34:57We all watch your dates live.
35:00You got to see them all through and through?
35:02Oh, did I ever.
35:03What has this experience taught you?
35:05Definitely what to look for,
35:07like the right questions to ask,
35:09like how to get to what kind of matters.
35:13I don't think first interaction,
35:14I would get straight to asking the heavy questions like that.
35:18But maybe you would now.
35:18And I learned like, maybe it's not that scary, you know?
35:21That's great.
35:22Like see if we're on the same page.
35:24Like see if-
35:25Like don't waste time.
35:26Yeah, because it's time to start
35:28really thinking about this, considering it.
35:30In New York, it's like building up to it
35:32as to here, the process was almost flipped in reverse.
35:35It's a refreshing feeling.
35:37It was very nice.
35:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:39Do you feel like you learned anything
35:42about what you're looking for?
35:44Like do-
35:45I mean, yeah, if you're going to ask it,
35:46you got to be ready to answer it too.
35:47Right?
35:48I think the main reason why I haven't found love
35:51is not being intentional about what I'm looking for.
35:55This process has definitely helped kind of narrow down
35:58what I care about and what values I want to look for
36:00and what's important to me.
36:02And I think that's a bit of a turning point for me here.
36:05So we're going to head over.
36:06We're going to meet all of your friends and family
36:08who are totally rooting for you
36:10and really, truly love you so much.
36:12And I'm really excited to hear more that will be revealed.
36:16Oh, I'm sure.
36:18It's going to be fun.
36:19Well, let's get to it.
36:20All right, let's do it.
36:29What are you going to do
36:31if he doesn't select the same person that you selected?
36:34As long as he's happy, we'll be happy too.
36:36That is very open-minded of you.
36:39Hi, welcome.
36:40Hey, hello.
36:41So excited you're here.
36:43Come on in.
36:44Thank you for coming.
36:44Front row seat.
36:48Thank you so much.
36:49Did you hear about the giant party
36:51at Veronica and Larry's house tonight afternoon?
36:57All right, we are so happy that you all came back.
37:02I would love to just hear a little bit
37:03from Veronica and Larry.
37:05Have you learned anything new about Larry?
37:08Well, he's very open to change
37:10because I was worried he was going to be mad at us
37:14for setting him up.
37:17He understood, you know, we were trying to help a little bit.
37:20Without further ado,
37:21I'm going to bring out the man, the myth, the legend.
37:25Larry the legend.
37:34You guys, this is such a good guy.
37:36Is anybody interested?
37:37Are you interested?
37:39I'm curious what everybody else thought.
37:41Yeah.
37:42The results of the community poll
37:44were that the person that you should get to know
37:47a little bit better is
37:51Cicely.
37:57I'm looking for a best friend
37:58that you also want to do life with.
38:00And yeah.
38:02So next up, the big reveal, mom and dad, right?
38:06A lot of discernment involved here.
38:08Larry went on three dates
38:09with the women that they selected.
38:11So who did you think Larry should get to know
38:14a little bit better?
38:16I think Cicely.
38:17Ooh, okay.
38:20I want to know why they're so involved in your love life.
38:22I know why my parents are.
38:24Talk to us.
38:25Why?
38:26Why do you think Cicely?
38:27She's very charming.
38:28And I saw the chemistry between these two.
38:31What do you think, Larry?
38:32Cicely was pretty true to her thoughts,
38:35both with us and with Larry.
38:37And she's a Braves fan, so.
38:39All right.
38:40Is everybody interested in hearing who Larry chose?
38:42Yeah.
38:46Before getting to this decision,
38:48I kind of want to thank you all
38:49for being a part of this process.
38:51I want to thank you guys specifically.
38:53You know, I think going into it,
38:55I probably wasn't the most enthused
38:57that you were having a role in this,
39:00but I think it played out well.
39:01And I appreciate you guys' judgment
39:03and just willingness to step in
39:05and do what needs to be done.
39:06So thank you all for weighing in on this for me.
39:10Larry, what's it like to hear him say that to you?
39:12Oh, it's special.
39:13Yeah.
39:15I can see the love.
39:17I really can.
39:18I can see the love.
39:19It's so magical to be able to see it and witness that.
39:22But yeah, I think one person did stand out
39:25a little stronger amongst the three.
39:28Breathe, breathe.
39:30So that being said, I did choose
39:35Cicely.
39:35Yeah!
39:36Yes!
39:37Yes!
39:38Yes!
39:39Yes!
39:40Yes!
39:41Yes!
39:41Yes!
39:42Yes!
39:44Long time, no see.
39:45Hey!
39:46Hey!
39:47How are you?
39:48It's so great, baby.
39:50It's great to see you again.
39:51It's so great.
39:52It's so great.
39:53It's so great.
39:54It's so great.
39:54Hello.
39:55It's been a minute.
39:56Hi.
39:57It's so nice to meet you.
39:58Thank you so much for coming.
39:59I'm so happy to be here.
40:00Yeah, we all loved watching your date.
40:03It was very clear that there was
40:05a really fun chemistry between you.
40:07So what is this like for you right now?
40:09You never know if the parents,
40:11when they're talking about their kid,
40:13if it's accurate or not.
40:14Because I know that they always think the world of them.
40:17Lucky for me, you guys were not exaggerating.
40:21I was super excited to be able to
40:23actually meet him in person.
40:26So Larry, what's next for the two of you?
40:28Do you feel like maybe a second date
40:30might be in the works?
40:31Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to getting some dinner,
40:34a glass of wine, actually getting something on the books
40:37and we get to know each other in a little more
40:39intimate setting as opposed to-
40:40Yeah, maybe one where there isn't
40:42a bunch of people watching you in all of America.
40:45Uh-huh.
40:47Congratulations, you two.
40:49I feel like we found some romance in Douglasville.
40:52Yeah.
40:53Nice to meet you.
40:53Nice to meet you.
40:54Nice to meet you.
40:55Nice to meet you.
40:56Nice to meet you.
40:57Nice to meet you.
40:58Nice to meet you.
40:58Nice to meet you.
40:59Nice to meet you.
41:00Bye.
41:01Bye.
41:02Nice to meet you.
41:03Nice to meet you.
41:03The difference between a large city
41:05and a small town is the values.
41:07I feel like with you,
41:08it really shined through in our interaction.
41:11Yes, Irene!
41:13It's my turn to take a little initiative here.
41:15It's time to go get a glass of wine,
41:18debrief this whole experience
41:19in a little more casual setting
41:21and, you know, have some fun with it.
41:23His plans are my plans.
