Watch Alec Baldwin give an unsuspecting couple love advice in a cab


"Sex, take-out food, binge-viewing Broad City... what's the glue that holds your relationship together?" asks Alec Baldwin in his new Above Average web series, Love Ride. The series, which launched today, mimics Cash Cab in format, but involves less money and more thinly veiled sexual references.
While the couples in the first two episodes don't seem genuinely surprised to see Alec in the cab they just "happen" to hail, it seems that the the fact that the famous actor is there to counsel them on relationships — and ask about zodiac signs and favorite body parts — is the real twist. Watch the first episode below. --Samantha Rollins
