  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. We have Warner Wolf on Mondays. You're
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: talking about the Mets and Citi Field?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: It's taking a different turn, gentlemen, because we're not talking
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: necessarily about the Mets. We're talking about what's going on
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: at Citi Field tonight, which is Singles Night Out. OK,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and you guys know that I've been excited to cover
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: this story because the Amazons are teaming up with Hot
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and Social for pregame mixers to get conversation started between
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: people who may be looking for a relationship.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Or something else these days, because that's how it goes.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It's the first time a lot of the time when
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I approach people, it's the first time people on the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: street are hearing about this event.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: That's cool. At a game, get to talk, talk about
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: the game. I would do it if I was single.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: I'm not single.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: That's very innovative. Maybe people could find their significant other there.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: I guess that's a good thing. I don't know.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Singles night?
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I love that. It must be a lot of single
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: people out here in New York City.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Singles night? Oh, I had no idea. I don't know.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: I'd have to ask my husband if I can go.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Look, most people agree that social media... Change the dating game.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That's kind of where our conversations were going after this.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Once I asked about singles nights in the Mets. If
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: there's even a game anymore, right? This idea that guys
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: have game, girls telling me they don't have game anymore
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: because instead of approaching them when they see them on
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the street, they're jumping into their Instagram DMs or they're
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: trying to find them on dating apps. Now, according to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a dating.com survey, 47% of people, that's nearly half, say
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: their relationship started with a direct message of some sort
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: on some social media platform.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: What? 47%.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: That's a lot.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's sad.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I know people who've done it. Now, New Yorkers know
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: this struggle all too well. I don't know how young
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: people meet each other anymore. And you know what?
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: These dating apps... from what I hear, are filled with guys,
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: and gals too, but guys, who ghost a lot, pretend
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: to be somebody that they're not. And I have to
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: tell you, if my daughter was single right now, I
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: think I'd be having a nervous breakdown.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I think everyone's on their phone too much. Everyone's on
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: all the social media too much.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: You know, you have to talk to people in person.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Because a lot of people just meet through social media
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and it can fool a lot of people. Like, you
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: get catfished a lot. People think they dated Brad Pitt
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: or Holly Berry and not dated her. So, yeah, it's
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: changed a lot.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: From what I see, dating seems pretty awful in New
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: York City. I don't think I'd want to be single
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question?
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at the quiet storm here, Chris, who's one
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of these Gen Zers. Yeah. I could see him catfishing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Wait, I don't think you know what the term catfish is.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: He does not need to catfish anyone.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: That's twice now this week, Curtis.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: He does not need to catfish anyone.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Chris is like the nicest guy ever.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I think what happened just there is he just learned
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a new term and used it incorrectly.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I think he doesn't like me because last week he
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: said I had no drift.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: On Friday he said I had no drift.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. What is going on?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Well, anything to get him out of his shell. Notice,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that got him to talk up, didn't it? I'm a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: little defensive.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I watch MTV.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: There's no need for Chris to be a catfish.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: So, I do want to call him.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But let me ask you a question. Why the Mets?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: The Mets, they're losers, right?
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: So are these loser men and loser women or teenagers? Look,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: it makes all the sense in the world because they're
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: not going to watch the game.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Well, look, okay, and maybe there's no need to watch
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the game when you're a losing team, but it seems
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: like the summer of matchmaking here in New York City, though,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: because it's not just the Mets, right? There's a photo
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: booth in lower Manhattan that lets people take photos of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: themselves and then gives you a photo of someone else
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and their first name of the person you're compatible with
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and you got to go find them okay that's one
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: thing there's also another singles mixer coming up at the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: end of september where like 400 people are going to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: be at this in-person mixer but you can fall back
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: on those if you don't hit a home run at
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: city field tonight okay and great question curtis I asked
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: people if they felt the Mets are getting into matchmaking
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: is a little, you know, gimmicky.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Probably. Probably.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's good. They get the money. Some people
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: eat some people. Get a little drunk. Watch a game.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: It is a gimmick.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: It shouldn't be that way.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, you can meet anybody out here.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: They got a losing record.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Hold on.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Let me check.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: He had a check.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: They got a losing record.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: That's the reason why.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: To attract fans and attract money.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the way I see it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Maybe both. Yeah, it's a good time. It's a reason
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: to come out. Another reason to get different people out
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: to the game.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, people who don't care and want to meet singles.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the Mets stink.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: That's the reason they're trying to do anything they can
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: to get people to go to the games.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Chris, as a Mets fan.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Any rebuttal? Because, you know, they had that purple guy.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Grimace?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: That was a gimmicky thing. That ain't doing it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: That ain't doing it. But they won when they had Grimace.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: They made it to the NLCS.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, until they died. didn't win anymore.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they had a great year. I will credit
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the Mets for honoring traditional marriage. They have Mr. Met,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: their mascot, and Mrs.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Met.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Listen, I just want... I got something going for me.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I want Mr. and... I'm not going to be able
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: to go to the game tonight. I want Mr. and Mrs.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Met or anybody in the crowd to let us know
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: if they see people who are single.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And if they're on their phones scrolling through the dating
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: apps rather than turning to.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: The person next to them to meet. How do I
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: know who's single if I go? Oh, there's a wristband system.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Thank you for asking.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: It'll disclose relationship status. Look at the wrist, ladies and gents.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: That's what I was going to say. That's a great question.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: That's how you'll know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: And nobody will be there catfishing? Well, I mean, you can't, right?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: You're looking at the person's face.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Fair game.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: It's all fair game.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You just learned that term.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I know, obviously.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, Natalie Migliore. I'll be back to numb
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you up.
