Ben & Matt Want to Double-Date You

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and you don't have a date. Sure, House of Cards Season 2 is dropping on Netflix, but you're looking for something a bit more physical. No sweat. In the greatest news of the day (week? month?) Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are auctioning off a double-date with them. Like, you get to eat food and talk about things and stare at their eyes for an evening. This is a real thing that is actually happening. Omaze.com is auctioning off the date to support Affleck's Eastern Congo Initiative and Damon's water.org.

The winner gets: to escort Affleck and Damon "as their VIP guests to a private star-studded event," plus hotel and plane accommodations for two. Booyah.

"It'll be like just us hanging out, taking selfies, talking about, how, like, the Sox are going to do," Damon said of what the winner can expect. But Affleck disagreed, saying the winner and them will discuss, "19th century literature, or the current state of politics in the Middle East... meaningful questions like, 'What are your hopes? What are your dreams? What are your fears?'"

Damon countered: "If you don't want to get really weirded out by having existential questions posed to you by Ben Affleck, then maybe we could talk about some other fun stuff, like stories from the set of The Bourne Identity,' or any of the other hit movies I've been in.'"

Watch the boys banter back and forth and tell you more about a date crafted by the cinematic gods.
