Project Everlasting: The Chemistry of Life-Long Love
Two young bachelors hit the road to discover our country's greatest loves.
Mat: Yeah. She was 88 at the time. She just turned 89. Jason and I were mad at each other for most of the trip. Grandma was our shining example of “be in the moment.”
TANGO: What kinds of moments did you hope to find?
Jason: Well, 30,000 people emailed us, wanting us to interview their grandparents. We had interview forms up to here [Editor’s note: he gestures to his knee.] Really, we were looking for anything dramatic or heartwarming.
TANGO: You said neither of you come from a writing background. How did you know how
to do interviews?
Mat: [laughing] My mom said, “Study Barbara Walters.” In the beginning, we were asking three-part questions that were five minutes long. And these were old people! Finally, one guy looked at me and said: “Son, I’m not really sure what you just asked me…”

I was just wondering, Matt and Jason, how you found these couples to interview? Did you run an ad or just through word of mouth? I am considering writing a book and interviewing people, but it’s not in the same vein/topic as what you have done. But, I was wondering what is the best way to find your subjects to interview? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Congratulations on your outstanding project! Thank you.

Hey guys, you need to do a piece on we women and men in the 40 something years, who are starting over due to divorce or widowhood. PS: If you find a sharp, sexy, chocolate brother in his mid forties out there while ya working, have him “holla” at a Sistah! Be Blessed and stay Safe (I’ll keep you both in my prayers).
