[upbeat music] You've heard of meet cutes, but have you heard of weird meets? Well, get ready, 'cause this is Weird Meets, the show in which we talk to couples whose first meetings could only be described as weird meets.

Let's meet our first contestants.

It was weird.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Let's roll the video.

Woof.
