He argues this would be a great way to test their chemistry, see if they can play off each other's lies, and ultimately convince the therapist they are in a real, long-term relationship.

Transcript excerpt

Okay. I just came up with the best first date idea of all time. Imagine instead of going to dinner or somewhere basic, you guys go to couples therapy better, and you make up this whole elaborate story as to what's going wrong in your relationship and the problems that you're facing. We'll get to know each other better, and you can see if you have enough chemistry to, like, play off of each other's lies and pretend to get mad at each other in therapy and and convince some poor therapist that you guys are actually in a serious long term relationship, I think this is fucking genius.
