- Hello, everybody!
Welcome back to the series where I
watch "The Button."
It's like a speed dating show, and...
I hear you.
I see you, I feel you, I'm with you.
You want the gay ones. (laughs)
I've just been over here reacting to "The Button"
willy-nilly, straights and all, when lo and behold,
apparently there are more gay episodes.
And that's all you want from me, is what I'm hearing.
You have shouted at me in the comments enough.
We are going back to react to more Button content,
but we're finding the queers!
I hear you.
And for any of you who are like, "What is happening?
I clicked on this video and now you're shouting at me.
Who even are you?"
Hi, my name is Alayna Joy.
I make videos mostly about the queer community
here on this channel, sex, dating, relationships,
but sometimes I react to speed dating shows,
and sometimes they're with straight people, okay?
I'm sorry!
There's a lot of them! (laughs)
But not today.
Today, we're gonna find the bisexual episode
of "The Button" series.
Apparently it exists.
According to all of you, it's real and not just a phase.
(sad trombone music) (Alayna laughing)
Let's see if we can find it.
Let's try "cut," "button," "bisexual."
I'm seeing "Single Farmers Try to Find Love on The Button."
(laughs) but I'm not seeing a bisexual episode.
Also, why do I feel like I'm saying "bisexual" weird?
Am I putting the emphasis on the wrong syllable?
Bisexual.
Bi, bisexual.
Bisexual?
Some of them are showing men and women,
but does that mean they're bisexual?
I'm just gonna stop saying "bisexual"
and I'm gonna start just saying "bi."
I've been gay now for, like, three years.
Apparently, I'm forgetting my roots.
Remember where you came from, Alayna!
Oh my god, there's a gay men one!
Oh, that's next.
Oh, that's next!
Stay on task, Alayna, focus.
We've got "Women Reject Each Other
with the Click of a Button,"
but that's not bi because they're all women.
It doesn't mean that the women aren't bi,
but the episode isn't bi 'cause it's all women.
I feel deceived.
You all made it sound like there is
a dedicated bi episode and I can't find it!
Okay, I think I might have found it.
Finally. (laughs)
For today's video, I dressed in my old uniform,
fitted crop top with an oversized button up.
That's the bisexual regalia.
Does that word work in that sentence?
(sputters) I have no idea.
But before we get to the rest of the content,
I wanna take a second to thank the sponsor
of this week's video, Love and Pies.
It's not often that I get to work with
a mobile game company, and so I was very excited
when Love and Pies reached out.
This is a free-to-download mobile game
that you can play on your phone, your tablet,
whatever mobile device.
It's a merge-two game where your goal is to build,
like, a bakery business.
So it's cute, and fun, and sweet,
and, like, calm, and relaxing, and nice.
And then they immediately throw you into the deep end
and there's a divorce, and a fire, and a missing mom.
The actual gameplay of, like, merging all of the stuff,
and making all of the baked goods, and collecting coins,
and improving the cafe lulls you into this, like,
cozy sense of security that just gets
continually interrupted by, like, reporters
wanting to know why your mom's a pyromaniac.
The game is multifaceted,
so you meet this whole cast of diverse characters
and new story content is released regularly.
And in honor of Pride Month,
Love and Pies is Love and Pride.
They're having a special two-week collection event
at the end of June where you help the main character's
gay uncle Sven throw a big party,
reach milestone challenges, and decorate the cafe.
So be sure to download the game to take part in that.
You can check out Love and Pies for yourself
using the link in my description.
Again, it's free to download.
I would recommend it.
Okay, let's get to the video.
"The Button!"
Bisexuality!
Let's see it.
- [Narrator] Welcome to "The Button."
A speed dating show.
When the button lights up red,
either player may press it and-
- Pay attention.
These are the rules.
- [Narrator] If two people can last on a date
for 10 minutes, they win an all expenses paid second date.
- 10 minutes. (laughs)
They have to last on the date for 10 minutes.
Maybe for the straights, that's, like, a challenge.
I don't think I've been on a date with a queer person
that has lasted less than two hours.
- Hello.
- What's your name? - Jessi.
- Jessi, I'm Caden. - [Jessi] Hi, Caden.
- [Button] The date begins now.
- Jessi and Caden!
Oh, my God, this is the bisexual episode.
We have confirmed this is the bisexual episode.
Look at them.
- How old are you?
- I'm... (hums)
(laughs) Why don't you guess?
- [Button] Jessi, you neem nervous.
(Jessi and Caden laughing)
- I don't know, 'cause, you know,
Who's supposed to answer that?
- Oh, Jessi is very nervous. (laughs)
Like, incredibly nervous.
This is gay panic.
Jessi is having gay panic.
I don't know Caden's gender, but Jessi is having gay panic.
- [Button] When was the last time
you were both in a serious relationship?
(Caden humming thoughtfully)
- Go ahead. (laughs)
- Seven or eight months ago now.
How about you? - Oh, that's a long time ago.
Probably 2013.
So it's been-
- Sorry, Jessi's like, "Seven to eight months ago.
Whew, that's a long time.
Me?
Last decade."
That is almost the same as me.
10 years.
- [Jessi] With staying power. (button buzzing)
- No offense!
I'm sorry, you've been a great date.
- [Button] Sorry, Jessi.
- Caden buttoned her. - This is brutal!
- Sorry, Jessi, you seemed lovely.
You're very nervous. (laughs)
The nerves were a lot, which is probably, like,
the worst thing that you can say
to somebody who has nerves.
If it wasn't "The Button,"
we would all love to give Jessi a chance.
Who's next?
- I'm an asshole!
- Hello. - Hi.
- My name's Mikey. - Caden.
- Nice to meet you. - Yes!
Yes, Mikey!
Okay, this is...
This is bi, I'll say it again.
This is bi culture!
That's the word I was looking for before!
Fitted tank top, oversized button up,
That's bi culture!
(sighs) "Regalia."
What?
Who do I think I am?
- [Button] The date begins now.
- So this thing can talk to us.
- Yeah, can you give us a prompt?
- [Button] When was the last time you both cried?
- Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, Mikey.
Oh, the nails.
Oh, no, um...
I'm so sorry to be pointing this out to all of you
who hadn't noticed it before this moment
and now I'm forcing it upon you.
I'm forcing it into your consciousness,
forcing you to perceive it.
The nails are long and scary!
Like, if you've got nails that long,
natural nails that long,
they've gotta be painted, right?
Like, that just seems...
Something about that gives me the heebie-jeebies.
And something about the phrase "heebie-jeebies" feels
racist?
(comical music)
It gives me the creeps.
Sorry, Mikey, but your nails are giving me the creeps.
- Not for a long time.
I'm, like, waiting for it to hit me
and so many moments have passed that it hasn't.
I'm like, "Am I able to cry anymore?"
You know what I mean?
- I hope that cry comes for you, in a good way.
- Thanks, I'm waiting for it.
(both laughing)
(button buzzing)
- I'm gonna call it.
- [Button] You are released, Mikey.
- Just immediately.
Why?
- [Button] Why did you reject them?
- Thank you, Button. - No sparks.
I knew this was gonna be harder than Tinder.
(Caden laughing) (Alayna laughing)
(sped up speech)
- Okay, I'm gonna... (button buzzing)
- All right. - It's great to meet you.
- Yeah, you too. (sped up speech)
- Wait, we just fast-forwarded through
Caden getting buttoned.
We didn't even see any of their conversation.
What?
Rip-off!
This video is only seven minutes long
and you're gonna cut an entire conversation?
The conversation where we lose Caden?
What?
- Sorry.
(button buzzing) - Oh, oh, oh, oh.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you so much. (button buzzing)
- Oh!
- Let's see who the next one is.
- Sorry, I need a moment to recover from that.
That truly was some speed dating!
That truly was a speed round!
I wanted to know every single thing about all of them.
(Alayna sighing)
There's gotta be something juicy coming up.
For them to fast-forward through all of that
to get to here, (beep) about to go down.
- Carter.
- Nice to meet you, Carter. - Nice to meet you.
All right, cool.
What's popping?
What's good? - Not much.
Just worked all day, what about you?
- And I love Carter's entrance.
(hands clapping) (Alayna laughing)
I don't know if I love it for me,
like, I don't know if I would want my date to sit down
and open with "what's popping," but I love it for Carter.
I do.
- Yeah, I worked, too.
Just give people pastries and shit, make coffee.
I'm a barista.
- [Tyson] All right. - What about you?
- I'm a server at Olive Garden.
- Dude, lit.
Do you got free breadsticks, though?
- You don't get free breadsticks.
- [Carter] Okay, okay, okay, that's fair.
(button buzzing)
- [Button] Tyson, you're out.
- All right.
- Carter is an icon.
Can we get Carter's social media?
Can we get Carter a YouTube channel?
Because that's a personality. (laughs)
(Carter laughing)
- [Button] Carter, what is your type?
- You know, honestly, anyone.
If you're into me, I'm into you.
Are we vibing, Button?
- [Button] Wow, I think so.
- Carter's hitting on the button!
Carter's kissing the button!
- Hi, I'm Carter. - I'm Jane.
- [Both] Nice to meet you.
- How's your day going? - Oh!
Oh, hello, Jane.
I think Carter is also saying, "Hello, Jane."
(Alayna laughing)
Carter with that previous guy,
"Hey, what's poppin'?
Yeah, I'm a barista, too.
No free breadsticks for me?
Boom, buttoned."
Carter with Jane, "Oh, hello.
What's your name?
Nice to meet you, Jane." (laughs)
As you should.
- It's going, honestly, really great.
- Yeah? - Yeah, how is yours?
- It's good now.
(both laughing)
- What do you do for your hobbies?
- I need a pause for that line from Carter.
Can we get a round of applause
for that line from Carter? (hands clapping)
"How's your day?"
"Better now that I'm talking to you."
I mean, correct.
Look at her.
- [Button] How would you describe your brand?
- Maybe, like, 2000's cartoon.
Did you watch, like, Cartoon Network at all or anything?
- Oh yeah, absolutely, in the 2000's!
(automatic feeder whirring)
Like "Ed, Edd, and Eddy."
- Did you hear that?
That's Bugs's auto feeder.
She'll sit there up to an hour
before it's supposed to go off.
She'll just, like, sit there and watch it.
As if she's hunting, but instead of needing to stalk,
catch, and kill something, she just, like,
looks at a screen.
Bugs is a modern woman.
- [Carter] Yeah, exactly, exactly.
I'm trying to get all of those characters
tattooed on me, bro.
- Oh, really?
Do you have any tattoos at all?
- Yeah, yeah, I've got, like, a clown right there.
- [Jane] Oh, I like it!
- [Carter] But these are all stick-and-pokes.
My friend does 'em.
- Oh, if you don't mind.
- No, go ahead, yeah.
- I'm sorry.
- The asking before she touches.
Like... (hearts popping)
The gays just do it better.
Queer people just do it better.
- [Carter] I'm serious about color-blocking on my body,
So I have, like-
(button buzzing) - I'm sorry!
- Hey, you catfished me, bro.
You catfished me so hard.
It's your loss, though.
- I know, I'm sorry!
- [Button] Jane, why did you reject Carter?
- [Carter] Yeah, I'd like to know.
- Why?
Why?
- In general, like, I could see us being
really good friends, but I can't see, like,
a romantic relationship in it.
- Yeah, no romantic connection, no spark.
That's fair.
But... (sighs)
Carter was in it.
Carter was in that for the long run.
Carter was about to call the U-Haul. (laughs)
- Hey, I'm Scott.
- Nice to meet you. - [Scott] Good to meet you.
- You have beautiful eyes.
- Scott. - I love your lashes.
- Thank you. - You have a good look.
- Thanks, so do you, I like your beard.
- [Button] Scott has ADD.
- You have ADD? - I do.
- Me, too!
- What? - Yeah!
Fucking crazy- - [Button] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(Alayna laughing) - [Jane] Did I, like, ruin it?
- No, you're fine.
- [Button] Thank you, Isabelle.
- Ooh, Isabelle's cute, too!
Let's get Isabelle in here!
Does Isabelle get a turn?
- What's your experience?
I know with ADD, for me, it feels like everything's
moving through my head a million miles an hour.
- Yeah.
- I get embarrassed by things easily
because I think that I'm saying things wrong.
Like, this would be- (button buzzing)
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry! - [Button] Goodbye, Scott.
- Jane!
Jane, ruthless!
Jane is one of those people, when you're talking to her,
you would feel like the only person in the world.
She does the active listening to a 10.
She's leaning in, she's making contact,
she's engaged with what the other person is saying,
and then the button goes red, bam, blindsided.
What is Jane's type?
I need to know.
- [Button] Why did you reject him?
- He's really cute, but, like, I don't wanna talk
about, like, my ADD and stuff with someone else.
- What?
(Alayna laughing)
She buttoned him because she didn't like
having something in common!
(Alayna laughing)
She's like, "We both have ADD?
We have a shared experience
we can both relate to each other on?
We can talk about the difficulties
that ADD brings up in our life together?
Not into it, not for me." (laughs)
Sorry, my nose is running.
Also, my hair is dirty.
Usually I would film when my hair is clean.
Couldn't be assed today.
Little dry shampoo action should do it.
Just watch, I'm gonna watch this footage back
and I'm gonna have, like, all of my partings
making it look like I've got bald spots all over my head.
It's a personal insecurity of mine.
I look like I'm balding half the time.
If my hair is dirty, I look like I'm balding.
Am I just actually balding?
(hums) We may never know.
Gimme 10 more years. (laughs)
- [Mikey] Hi, how are you?
- I'm good, how are you? - I'm well.
My name's Mikey. - Mikey's back!
(button buzzing) - Sorry!
- That's okay, no! (Jane squealing)
(button buzzing)
- Instant button for Mikey!
It's probably the nails.
(button buzzing) Jessi!
That person!
Jane is ripping through 'em!
- [Jane] Oh my god, I love your glasses.
I love your earrings. - Aw, stop!
- Who's this?
- [Button] Brenna plays the jazz flute.
- Brenna.
Hi, Brenna. - Oh.
- Brenna has a great look.
Brenna has a great look.
Jane has a great look.
- But, like, Ron Burgundy style?
(both laughing)
- Kind of.
I, like, play in a funk and jazz band.
- [Button] When was your last serious relationship?
- Okay, okay.
It went red and Jane didn't button.
Brenna. (sighs)
Brenna, you made it through the first cut.
You made it through the first cut.
This is getting serious!
- Three years ago, and I lived with my ex.
Then there was a really bad breakup
and I ended up, like, having to separate myself
from my entire friend group and, like, kind of restart.
Yeah.
- Mine was, like, two and a half months ago.
- Oh, shit.
- Another!
Brenna made it through another!
Is Brenna gonna go the distance?
(comical music)
- We just, like, weren't right for each other.
- [Button] Do you like to dance?
- Oh, absolutely.
- I fuckin' love dancing. - Hell yeah!
Where do you like to go on the weekends?
- I go to, like, Motown. - Chop Suey?
- Chop Suey, yeah! - Yeah, Chop Suey, yes!
- [Button] Let's see a dance-
- Okay, okay, so maybe this is Jane doing her whole
active listening, touchy thing, but she just reached over
and grabbed Brenna's hands in an excitement about dancing.
Some would call it a shared interest.
Dancing?
Acceptable shared interest.
ADD?
Absolutely not. (laughs)
- Can we have music?
- [Button] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la.
That was actually really good.
This seems to be going well.
Brenna, are you attracted to Jane?
- I am, yeah.
- I'm, like, very attracted to you, as well.
- Ooh!
- [Button] Hold hands for 10 seconds
and stare deeply into each other's eyes.
- I'm so down with it. (Alayna gasping)
Hi. - Hi.
Should I take off my glasses?
- No, it's fine.
I can see your beautiful, like, jade eyes.
- Aww! - They're so nice.
- This is the gayest thing I've ever seen.
(Alayna laughing)
They're 30 seconds into their date,
and they're holding hands
and staring deeply into each other's eyes.
Gay!
- Hi. - Hi.
- [Button] Okay, okay, that's enough.
- Wait, give us, like, 10 more seconds.
(Brenna laughing)
- Jane loves it!
- [Button] Would you like to go on a second date
with each other?
- I would love to. - Fuck yeah!
- [Button] Congratulations, you have won "The Button."
- We won "The Button!" (Jane squealing)
Hell yeah! - Wow!
- I'm so happy! - I know!
- [Button] Now say, "I love you."
- Oh, too soon, Button.
- [Both] Too soon. - [Button] I tried.
- Okay, they're not gonna say they love each other.
They won't say, "I love you,"
they're like, "We gotta draw the line
at gay stereotypes somewhere."
Do we get to see an after clip?
With their second date?
No.
Shoot. (laughs)
Oh, every time I take that headphone out
after I film one of these videos, I'm like,
"I have been screaming." (laughs)
With all of these videos,
I wish that they would do a follow-up!
That series would be so good, Cut, come on!
Like, watching them on their second date,
or even doing, like, an interview,
one of your "Truth or Drink" or something
after the second date.
Come on!
We gotta know more!
The people are asking for it!
That was good, I get it,
I see why you were all shouting at me.
It's fair, it's fine, you were right.
The gay "Button" is just better.
And that is it for today.
Follow me on Instagram if you don't already,
because that's where the magic happens.
And, like, a lot of climbing.
A lot of climbing content over there.

Bye! (lips smacking)
Fitted crop top with, like, an oversized button up.
What's the word I'm looking for, other than uniform?
What's a synonym for uniform?
Ensemble?
Regalia?
What does that mean?
Regalia, I like it.
I'm using that one.
