- [Button] Fun fact about Dylan:
- Oh.
- [Button] He loves guns.
- Ooh.
- Yeah.
- That's not a fun fact to know.
- [Narrator] Welcome to The Button,
a speed dating show.
When the button lights up red,
either player may press it and swap out their date
for a new person.
- [Button] Get out of here.
- [Narrator] If two people can last on a date
for ten minutes,
they win an all-expenses paid second date.
- [Button] This is The Button.
- Oh, hi.
- What's your name?
- Lex.
- Lex, I'm Farihn.
- Farihn?
- Yeah, friends call me Siderail.
- Okay, so wait, why do they call you Siderail?
- Siderail is something I came up
when I was like in seventh grade
as my username on Instagram.
It's kind of like a gamer tag-ish thing, I dunno.
- [Button] Look at each other, what do you think?
- I like your tattoos, they're very clean.
- Yeah, I like your scorpions.
- Thank you.
- [Button] Rate each other on a scale of 1-10.
- You go first.
- Me first?
No, ladies first, bro.
- No, bro.
I'm gonna give you a hard eight.
- Hard eight?
What does a hard eight mean?
- Only because I don't know how old you are.
- Uh-huh.
- I dunno, I wanna say you're like 24 or 25, maybe.
- 24? - Yeah.
Are you 24?
- I'm 20.
- Oh shit!
- How old are you?
- I'm 28.
- You're 28?
- Yeah.
- That's not bad.
- No, I know it's not bad, it's just you can't drink.
- It's funny 'cause, like,
people always, like, they'll think I'm older
and then some people think I'm like younger.
Like it's weird.
- I mean, you definitely have, like,
nice skin, but you have like a really manly build.
So, I feel like you look pretty grown,
but also I feel weird saying that, so like,
I don't know, it's just like, yeah.
[button chirping]
[button buzzing]
- [Button] Ow!
- Aw, you broke the button.
- [Button] Farihn, why did you reject her?
- Well, 'cause I saw her hand going
and it was the age, too.
- [Button] Thank you so much.
- Thanks, okay.
- Yeah, see you later.
- Have a good-
- No, like, yeah, have a good rest of your day, too.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, what's your name?
- Leah. - Leah?
I'm Farihn.
- What is it?
- Farihn.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- I should probably start off by saying
that like I am hard of hearing, so,
- No, you're good, I kind of am, too,
'cause I used to work at the airport.
- Really?
- Yeah, I didn't really, like,
have my hearing protection on all the time, so,
- Do you also have hearing loss?
- No, maybe, I dunno. - Maybe?
- I'm always like, "Can you say that one more time?"
- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I do read lips and I feel like that kind of like
helps for intimacy sometimes.
- That's crazy, so like, how did you pick that up, like?
- Lip-reading?
- Lip-reading, yeah.
- It's natural.
I started to just like notice that I was reading lips more
and then, now, I can read lips pretty good,
but I got a cochlear implant recently, as well,
that helps so much.
- That's cool, that's good that you got that.
- Say that again.
- That's good that you got that.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
- [Button] Why shouldn't someone date either of you?
- You go first, I need to think about it.
- Ah, shoot.
Why someone shouldn't, I have to be really real with myself.
I dunno, I guess that's something I could say,
I'm pretty real, like blunt.
- I like bluntness.
- Yeah, maybe like, I feel like I could
hurt someone's feelings,
but I'm really like sarcastic and like-
- Oh, same.
- And like funny, so, I dunno.
- I love roasts and I love to like be roasted,
'cause I just think it's like really funny
and I like to make spontaneous Your Mom jokes.
- Yeah, that's good, that's good.
Like The Office, have you seen The Office?
- Yeah, I haven't seen it in awhile,
but, yeah, I like The Office.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(unintelligible mumbling) (button chirping)
(button buzzing)
- No!
Okay, why did you button me?
- Like, I don't feel like we match,
you know what I mean?
- That's okay, yeah, I agree.
- You know, I can't see myself walking down the street
with you.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- What's your name?
- Farihn. - Nice to meet you.
My name's Jasmine.
- Jasmine? - Yeah.
- [Button] Jasmine, is Farihn your type?
- He's one of the types.
He could be one of the types.
- [Button] Fun fact about Farihn: he's Mormon.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- What was like that, growing up?
- Well, I grew up in Utah, so it was like pretty normal,
but, coming here, it was just a big culture shock
and like, I guess it was just like
really controversial to a lot of people.
- What's the controversial part?
- 'Cause hey think we're like praising either
the prophet Mormon,
or Joseph Smith, the dude that wrote the book.
We're trying to focus on Christ,
so that's why we stray away from it.
- [Button] What's the most sinful thing you've ever done?
- The most sinful thing I've ever done?
I dunno, I'm not really like a bad guy.
(button chirping)
(button buzzing)
- [Button] Oh no.
- [Jasmine] Sorry.
- [Button] Why'd you reject Farihn?
- Kinda sounds like you don't really know
what you're looking for
and it also kinda sounds like you're still exploring
and trying to figure out, like
who you are, like who you want to be.
- Thank you. - [Jasmine] Yeah!
- Yeah, I'll see you later.
- Yeah, see ya.
- Yeah, have a good rest of your day.
- You too.
- What's your name? - Jasmine.
- Ben. - Ben.
- Yes, all right, so.
So, what are some of your hobbies?
- Oh, hobbies, I love to hike.
- Okay, like going on walks, hikes,
I like walking with my friend.
- [Button] Fun fact about Ben: he writes bad raps.
- Oh yeah.
Emphasis on bad, I will say that.
- Okay.
- Would you like to hear? - Yeah, yeah.
- Okay, should I go off the top?
Give me something to rap about.
- The button. - The button?
- Yes, the button.
(button beatboxing)
- See, I'm blanking off the top right now.
Yeah, no, I'm losing it all.
- (laughing)
- It's like on the spot, I'm losing it.
- [Button] Jasmine.
He's a has been.
He can't rap.
But I got you.
'Cause I gotchu.
Not Ben.
- We can talk about something else,
I'm forgetting all my raps right now.
- Are you religious?
- No, I think there's definitely some good viewpoints,
like it's a good focal lens to look through life,
but I'm not personally religious.
What about you?
- I am, I am Christian.
- Okay.
- And that's something that I definitely want to, like
raise my children in.
- Anything for the benefit of the children, right?
(button chirping)
I mean, the whole reason
that I'd like to go and do anything.
(button buzzing)
- All right.
- It's just that's definitely like a deal-breaker,
but you're a really sweet guy
and I would love to hear your raps
when you're more comfortable.
- If I get my phone, I gotchu.
- Yeah. - It was a pleasure.
- How's your week been, what's been like the highlight?
- It's my birthday week.
- Really?
When's your birthday?
- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow, mine is today.
- No way!
- Yeah.
- Happy Birthday!
- Thank you, likewise.
- Are you celebrating?
- Yeah, so I'm doing this.
I'm giving myself the gift of opportunity
to connect with people
and then tonight I'm having a birthday party, as well.
- Oh, okay.
- What are you doing for yours?
- I'm gonna go to church
and then I'll go have lunch with my friends.
- Cool.
- And then finish the night off with my family.
- Oh, I love that, a good family-friend kinda thing.
- Yeah.
- So, do you go to church, you go every Sunday?
- I do, I go every Sunday.
- Cool.
- Do you?
- I do not, I'm Jewish, so um.
- Okay.
- My dad's a rabbi, so I grew up
with a pretty strong religious upbringing and whatnot.
- Yeah, that's really cool.
- How about you?
- I was exposed to a lot of crazy things
that maybe wouldn't be normal in, like,
someone who might not have been raised Pentecostal.
- Oh, Pentecostal!
- Yeah.
- Crazy things indeed, yeah?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Like what?
- Like speaking in tongues and like exorcisms
and just like differentiating good and evil spirits.
I'm really grateful to have, like,
been in that at such a young age.
- Totally.
- And have been able to witness so much.
- Yeah, it's beautiful. (button chirping)
(button buzzing)
I feel like, I'm really enjoying this conversation
and I think it's just not it.
Remind me your name?
- Jasmine. - Jasmine. Jacob.
- Yeah.
- It was a pleasure. - It was nice meeting you.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I love your hair.
- Thank you.
- Oh my god.
- I appreciate it, I grew it myself.
It's just the right balance of water, fertilizer,
and soil, and it just springs out, you know.
- I love it, that's awesome.
- [Button] Ask Jacob what's the kinkiest thing
he's ever done?
- Ooh.
Yes, what would that be?
- I'mma be honest, I've been pretty vanilla
for most of my sexual experiences.
- Ooh, vanilla.
Like how vanilla?
- Like, I've been tied up before.
- That's not that vanilla.
- But like, it was, yeah, okay.
Sure.
So, that, I would say, then.
- Okay.
I like nibbling.
- Nibbling?
- Yeah, not like full-on bite,
but I do like nibbling on the neck area.
- Yeah.
- Definitely a little bit of choking,
but not like to dead, obviously.
- Sure.
- You want to live through it, you know.
- Right.
That would be pretty intensely kinky
if it was to the death.
Jeez Louise.
(button chirping)
(button buzzing)
- Yeah.
I feel it.
- Intimacy-wise, that energy just wasn't there.
- Thank you.
- I'd love it, yeah.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- (laughing)
- [Button] Was he not kinky enough for you?
- Not quite.
- I'm Dylan, nice to meet you.
- Dylan, nice to meet you.
- All right. - How are you?
- Pretty good. - Good.
- [Button] Fun fact about Dylan:
he loves guns.
- Yeah, I do. - Ooh.
- That's not a fun fact to know.
- Just to like put the record out there,
not a Republican, not an NRA member.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- So you have a, what is it?
A gun license or whatever that's called you have to have?
- So, fun fact: you don't actually need a gun license
in Washington state.
- Fun fact: I don't like that.
Do you shoot animals?
- Oh, fuck no.
- Okay.
- I'm a big history buff.
I have a gun from,
two from World War I.
(button chirping)
(button buzzing)
- Thank you.
How are you?
- I'm doing great.
- Good.
- How about yourself?
- I'm good.
Brittany.

- John, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.
- I like your necklaces and your,
so you're into jewelry,
you're into expression, it looks like.
- Yes, so I just like picking out unique things
that I like and going from there.
- Okay, yeah.
I like it.
- [Button] So, Brittany loves R&B music.
- Yes, yes I do, Button.
You are correct.
- Okay, what's your favorite song right now?
- Uh, I wouldn't say it's like a new song,
it's Jamie Foxx.

What do you like?
- Well, mostly R&B.
- Okay, okay.

- Yeah, okay.
- [Button] John's really kinky.
- Oh, are you?
- There's almost no limit to what I would try.
- Yeah, oh, no.
I mean, I think there's probably limits
that I can't think of-
- That's why I said "almost", 'cause there's-
- Almost, it depends.
(button chirping)
- Not going into like pain and hitting.
- I mean, with the right person in the situation.
(button chirping)
- Yeah, when you're in the moment.
- Yeah, it changes a little bit.
- Oh, yeah.
- [Button] Are you two attracted to each other?
- Yes.
- Oh yeah, she's very pretty.
- Oh, thank you, you're pretty, too.
- Oh, I'll take that.
(both laughing)
I'll take that.
Yeah, I like your smile.
- Oh, thank you.
- That was the first thing I noticed.
You make a lot of eye contact.
- I do?
Oh god.
- It shows confidence.
- I like your eyes.
- Oh, okay.
I'll take that.
- And I like your smile, too.
And like your jawline when you smile, it's nice.
- Oh, I'll take it, thank you.
- It's like muscular.
- Oh, really?
- But in a, that sounds weird 'cause it's your face, but.
(button chirping)
(both laughing)
- I think you are just fun to talk to.
- Thank you.
I can ramble, so.
- That's fine, I love listening, so.
(button chirping)
I like learning. - Me too.
- And, so, that's a huge thing.
I feel like, if I'm talking, which I'm not,
I'm totally comfortable doing, but I'm not learning
when I do.
- True.
- But I do like your energy, I like your aura
as you said, but you're fun.
- Thank you, I appreciate it.
- [Button] I'm gonna go red one more time,
and if you're feeling it, don't press me.
- Gotcha.
- It's been nice talking to you, red button.
- (laughing)
- [Button] Woohoo!
- Woohoo!
(crew celebrating, clapping)
- [Narrator] All right, you two matched.
- Yes we did.
- What was the moment you knew
"I'm not pushing the button"?
- He was just easy to talk to.
- For me it was just, she's,
you're funny.
- Really?
- Yes, you are funny, I like that.
- Thank you, I appreciate it.
- And then just, some of the things you said
that you're attracted to were right in with mine,
especially the order that you listed them.
- Oh, okay.
- So, that was huge.
And then, she's fine, that was a big thing, too.
- Oh, thank you.
- [Narrator] Hell yeah, well, good luck on this next date.
Have fun tonight.
- Yeah. - We shall.
