you would say you find yourself really akin to
or that like really have influenced you?
- Uh, Kanye West.

I like that shirt. That's tough.
That's kind of wavy. - Thank you.
Why are you wearing sunglasses inside?
- Honestly, I really don't like people in my eyes,
but I'll take 'em off, though.
I got you.
- Thanks.
- Take em' off. - You've got nice eyes.
- I appreciate that. (Alex laughing)
- [The Button] Fun fact about Alex.
She ripped her butthole freshman year of college
and waited three painful months
before seeing two doctors to repair it.
(both laughing)
- I fully regret putting that in my application.
(laughing)
- Oh, we gotta hear the story.
- Yeah, I mean, just freshman year eating dining hall food,
afraid to like use public bathrooms,
just like didn't go well,
and something bad happened one day,
and that was September, and I had to wait
until I went to my doctor at home, so.
- Oh my God.
- There was a lot of pain for a long time.
(both laughing)
Yeah.
- I love the vulnerability.
I appreciate that. - Thank you.
I was hoping that somebody would. (laughs)
- I, oh.
- [The Button] Elgin let us know
that he peed himself in sixth grade.
- Yeah, that did happen.
- I feel like that's not that bad.
- I didn't really have that much to share, so.
- Nothing embarrassing ever happens to you?
- Not particularly.
I'm a pretty smooth individual,
if I'm not lying to you.
(button beeps)
(button buzzes)
- [The Button] Why did you reject Elgin?
- I feel like you have to
have something more embarrassing. (laughing)
- Mmm. Copy. - Yeah.
I shared the worst story.
- That is fair.
That's fair enough.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- I'm Alex.
- I'm Jamil. - Jamil?
- Yeah, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
I like your earrings a lot.
- Thank you.
And these ones were a gift from a homeless man.
- Oh really?
- (laughing) Yeah. I- - That's cute.
- lit a cigarette, and he was like,
"I just want a light."
And I was like, "Oh, got you."
He's like, "I gotta give you something."
So I was like, "Okay, let me see.
That's for me.
I'll take that." - So you got to take it?
- Yeah. Yeah. - Very cool.
- [The Button] Do you two
have an age range when you're dating?
- I would say like, I don't stray too far out
of my age range.
I'm 25.
- Okay.
- I just, like, I want to go through
the phases of life with the person
that I'm with. - Yeah.
- [The Button] Ask Jamil how old he is.
- How old are you? (laughs)
- Um, I'm 37.
- Okay.
- But, um, it's one of those things where,
for me, I have a very young spirit.
(button beeps)
- I'm sorry. (button buzzes)
No.
- Okay, I respect that. - And I'm too old, so.
(both laughing)
- It was nice to meet you.
- It was nice meeting you too. - Yeah.
- Hello.
- How are you?
- I'm Haley.
- I'm Jamil. - Jamil.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
- I like the tattoos.
- (sighing) Thank you so much.
I just got them.
- Do yours mean something to you?
- The sun and moon that I have,
my mom has a sun and moon tattoo.
- Okay.
- I love astronomy.
- Well, what sign are you?
- (sighing) We're gonna go
(button beeps) straight to it.
- I'm like- (button buzzes)
(sighs) - Sorry.
- Why? (laughing)
- (sighing) Uh-
- And you can be honest. I can handle it.
- I would say I'm not sexually attracted to you.
- [The Button] Do you find Haley attractive?
- Sexually attractive, not really for me.
- Yeah.
- I mean, I think that we could have fun sexually as well.
- Oh, of course.
- But I have fun sex, so.
That's just me. - Same, I feel the same.
(laughing)
- How's it going?
- Good, how are you?
- Good, Bernard.
- Bernard, I'm Haley.
- Haley? It's also Renard.
- Renard? I'm so sorry. - Yeah.
- Uh, it's like the French word fox.
- Oh, that is actually my Patronus.
- Oh, really?
(laughing)
Are you reading "Harry Potter"?
- I used to read, yes, yes. - Okay, same.
Um, I'm definitely excited
for the "Harry Potter" video game, right?
- Oh, is there?
- Yeah.
(button beeps and buzzes)
Was that you or me?
- Definitely me.
- That's okay, yeah.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you, Bernard.
Have a great day.
- You- - Renard. Sorry.
- [Button] Why did you reject Renard?
- Not my type.
- [Button] What is your type?
- Ooh. I really like a tall person.
Hi.

- Nice to meet you.
- Very beautiful.
- Oh my god, thank you.
You're super fuckin' cute.
- (laughs) Thank you.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of small talk.
- Me neither, actually.
Oh my gosh.
You just literally spoke volumes to my heart.
(laughing)
- [Button] What are your dealbreakers?
- Ladies first.
- Oh, how do you know
I identify as a lady? (gasp)
- Uh- (mumbles) - Just kidding.
(squealing) (laughing)
Just puttin' you on the spot!
(laughing) (squealing)
Dealbreakers. (sighs)
Someone who
doesn't find drive
or love or passion in life.
- I'm a very passionate person.
- Hot.
- So, I like to do (laughs)
- What are your dealbreakers? - My dealbreakers?
- Yeah.
- Definitely somebody that can't take a joke.
Like, (exhales)
I love talking shit. (laughs)
- Honestly, same.
Like, if you can't take a joke or
if you can't take me poking at you
or like giving you shit,
we're probably not gonna vibe.
- That's what I'm saying.
- [Button] Fun fact bout Haley.
They're poly.
- Oh
- Yeah.
- I'm definitely a monogamous type of person.
- Yeah.
- I just, it felt bad.
(button beeps and buzzes) Yeah.
- This breaks my heart. - You don't like the idea
- I know, I feel like we were vibing.
(laughs) - No, we were super vibing.
Bye! (laughing)
It was gonna come out anyways. - Come on.
- Thank you.
- Hello, I'm Haley.
- Mark. I've heard you've been buzzing
a few people.
- You have some things to say about it?
- No. - No?
- I understand it.
I like picky, so.
- How old are you?
- 23. How old are you?
- I'm 30.
- 30.
I've been with older.
- Do you typically date older?
- I, I don't know.
I just like smart woman.
- Okay.
- Good conversation.
- Like, what can you talk about?
- I don't know, philosophical conversations too.
- Are there any type of philosophers
that you'd say you find yourself really akin to
or that like really have influenced you?
- Uh, Kanye West, Steve Jobs and my father.
- Did you just say Kanye West?
- Yeah.
- He creates culture, he creates conversation.
(sighs)
He changes people's minds and I think-
- But he's anti-Semite and he's against Jew-
- Well, but, but the thing that-
- How is-
- Yeah, I know- - I'm sorry.
- I know, I, I know, but-
(button beeps and buzzes) - As far as-
Oh.
- Kanye West. I'm sorry.
- As far as his comments on like
the anti-Semitic stuff,
like the, "I like Hitler."
I don't, I don't really-
- [Button] Sorry to interrupt.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna end this.
Um, thank you, Mark. - Nice meeting you, Haley.
- Thank you. Nice to meet you too.
(exhales)
Kanye West really shook me y'all.
That was really hard.
Oh my God.
- We're gonna take a break from the men.
Hello. Oh. (squeals)
(laughs)
- Hi.
- Hi. (laughs)
- Oh, this is funny.
- [Button] Why is this funny?
- We were just playing truth or drink
in the dressing room, and Chris just,
um, had a question of,
"Who would you be most sexually compatible with
out of this group?"
And lo and behold it was me. (chuckles)
- [Button] Aww.
(laughing)
- Well, yeah, so I didn't,
you're training to, uh.
- To become a certified sex coach.
Yeah.
- That's so cool.
- I think there's a lot of healing with sex
and there's so much shame
(button beeps and buzzes) behind all of it.
- Aww.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay. (laughs)
- Can I hug you?
Is that okay? - Oh, a hundred percent, yeah.
- You're generally an amazing person.
- Thank you.
- [Button] Why did you reject Chris?
- I am not particularly sexually interested in them.
Oh.
- Hello.
- Hi.
(giggles)
- So what are you into?
- I'm into people.
I'm into their energy.
What about for you?
- Yeah, for me, I don't know.
I've mostly dated men
but I find women immensely attractive.
I, I'm actually more attracted to women
than I am men. - Same.
- They, they understand you more.
- 100%. Question for you.
- Yes.
- And you do not have to answer this
if you don't feel comfortable.
How many sexual experiences have you had with women?
- Probably, I wouldn't say, like six.
- Wow.
- [Button] Do you two find each other attractive?
- I think you're stunning.
(laughs)
- I think you're absolutely gorgeous.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
(button beeps and buzzes)
- Ah
- [Button] You both said you found each other attractive,
but you were both ready to hit the button.
- I feel like I would have more fun with you
as a friend, like,
- "let's go out." - Same, same.
- Liz vibe. - Same, same.
- Same. Just because I'm attracted to you
doesn't mean I wanna fuck you.
- Yeah.
- Am I going to get this person's information?
Absolutely.
- Absolutely.
- Are we gonna fuck?
- I don't know.
- Probably not. - Probably not.
Maybe, you know what, never say never.
- With enough tequila, possibly.
(laughs)
- [Button] Okay, Haley?
- (laughs) Yes.
- [Button] You've rejected men, women.
I don't know that we have someone for you.
- I find that controversial.
How do you know?
- [Button] 'Cause I've already gone
through everybody.
- Well, thank you for a lovely time.
I had so much fun.
- [Button] Aww.
I had a lovely time with you.
(chuckles)
Thank you very much.
- Anytime.
- [Button] I'm poly, Haley, I'm poly.
