- I wanna travel a lot for sure.
I don't know if I have like a specific purpose in that.
- There's no goal that accompanies it?
(robotic noise) (slap) (buzzer noise)
You don't seem to have any direction in life.
Whereas I know exactly where I'm going and what I want
and I don't want to have to babysit someone.
(laughing)
- [Show Announcer] Welcome to The Button, (upbeat music)
a speed dating show.
When the button lights up red,
(robotic noise)
either player may press it (buzzer noise)
and swap out their date for a new person.
- [Button] Get outta here.
- If two people can last on a date for 10 minutes,
they win an all expenses paid second date.
- This is The Button.
- Hello.
- My name's Serena. - Serena? Nice to meet you.
- What's your name? (chair slides)
- I'm-- I'm Mo.
- Mo? Okay.
What's your like-- what's a big ick for you?
- Ick? Hygiene, oh my god.
- Hygiene?
- [Button] Can he smell your armpits?
- The fuck? No, I barely know him.
(laughing)
- [Button] It's hygiene related though, ya know?
- I don't want like a stranger to touch me.
Like he seems totally chill, but like I don't--
I barely even hug my mom.
- Alright, so physical touch is not your love language.
- It's just like culturally, it's not super common.
(robotic noise)
(slap) (buzzer noise)
- Serena, it was very nice to meet you.
- Nice meet you. Yes, yes.
Oh. Hi!
- [Austin] Hello. Hi. Austin.
- I'm Serena.
- Absolute pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.
- Tell me what you live for, what you plan to die for.
- My cats.
- Do you believe they have souls?
- I mean, I don't know if I believe in souls necessarily
'cause I'm not religious--
- In relative to humans as well?
- Well, I believe there's consciousness, right?
Were you-- were you born Christian?
- I was, but I rejected it majority pretty much--
- Why did you reject it?
- Because I just wasn't really about it.
I didn't want to give--
(robotic noise) (slaps) (buzzer noise)
- Who got it first?
- Me, 100%.
- I-- yeah, I don't believe in God. (chair slides) (laughs)
- I can-- I can tell. - Yeah. (laughs)
- [Mochi] Hello.
- Hey, how you doing?
- How are you doing?
- Good. Austin.
- Mochi. (chair slides) Nice to meet you.
- Absolute pleasure. Yeah.
- So what were you up to this week?
- (scoffs) Nothing really that interesting.
Kind of sat at home, so.
I just got outta the military,
so I'm looking for work and all that.
So in a transition period.
- I tried to get in the military twice
and they did not want my ass.
- How long were you passionate for that?
- Not at all. (laughs)
- Nah? Just came and went?
- It was just-- it was a minor thing.
- So what do you hope to achieve in your life?
- I wanna travel a lot for sure.
I don't know if I have, like, a specific purpose in that.
- There's no goal that a accompanies it?
(robotic noise) (slap) (buzzer noise)
You don't seem to have any direction in life.
Whereas I know exactly where I'm going and what I want.
And granted that's nothing wrong with that, but
because I know where I am at, and where I'm going
I don't want to have to babysit someone to, where I am, so.
- Valid.
- Hello. Pleasure. Austin.
- [Irish] Hi. Austin?
- Yes.
- Nice to meet you.
- What's your name?
- Irish.
- Irish?
- Yeah.
- I like that. How'd you-- how'd you get that name?
- I don't know.
Parents just gave it to you? They didn't--
- Yeah, well they looked at me
and they thought I looked like, Irish.
- Very well.
- What are you into, what are your hobbies?
- I'm a writer, musician, martial arts.
I'm into like, theology.
- Tell me more.
- What more do you want to know?
- The difference between like, Jesus Christ and God.
- Okay, Jesus Christ is God.
But if you want to like go against other religions,
you can see how Islam talks about Muhammad
as a sole prophet.
(robotic noise) (slap) (buzzer noise)
- What was your name?
- Austin.
- I'm Allie.
- It's a very pleasure to meet you.
- Very pleasure to meet you too.
I like your style.
- Thank you.
- You look like you read books. (laughs)
- I try to read, but I'm not really adept at reading
if I'm like completely honest.
- I don't know why your aesthetic was giving "reads books",
but it was a compliment.
- I-- I take it as such, so I appreciate it.
- [Button] How important is faith?
- How important is faith for you?
- 100%. And at the end of the day
if you reject Christ, The King, it's a no-go.
- So you're a Christian?
- 100%
- Cool. Cool. I'm a Christian too.
- Excellent.
As a-- as a Christian, can you tell me a little bit about
the gospel of Jesus Christ and how that goes?
- Um, yeah, I mean--
like, the gospel is basically that Jesus was here
and died for our sins.
And yeah, his spirit guides us.
- Is that the same Jesus who died
and rose again three days later?
- Yes.
- You believe in the resurrection?
- Yes.
- Excellent.
If that's genuine, I 100% accept that.
- That's-- yeah.
- So I guess my question is growing up in that foundation,
was it kind of like a thing you just kind of swallowed
without challenging it?
Doubt is not (robotic noise) indicative...
(buzzer noise)
(scoffs) Unfortunate.
- It was just a little intense, and that's all.
It felt a little bit like intense.
- Overwhelming?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- I could see that.
- Hello?
- [Michael] Hi.
- Hi! (laughs)
- How's it going?
- Good. - I'm Michael, by the way.
- I'm Allie. - I really like your hair.
- Oh, thank you. - Yeah, I like your nails too.
- Oh-- Ooh. I just cut them short.
Now I'm like kind of being--
- Do you prefer short nails? - I kind of do, yeah.
- (sighs)
- But you like long nails? (laughs)
- I mean...
- Are you gonna press the button because I have short nails?
- No no no no.
Are you gonna-- no.
(laughing)
(robotic noise) What do you do for a living?
- I'm the head of marketing at a product company.
- Oh, you-- she got a real job.
- Yeah, I have a-- I have a big girl job.
- Yeah, you're actually really pretty, but um--
- [Button] So...
- So?
- [Button] Would you say you two are hitting it off?
- More than that, I hope so. (laughing)
You know what I'm saying?
- I think I'm hitting it off with Michael,
but I feel like I don't know a lot about you.
So I've got questions for you.
- Okay. I got answers.
- I feel like you might be a baby--
- A what?
- A baby. Like a little baby...
- A baby?
- (laughing) Yeah.
- Oh.
- Like you might be like younger than me,
like way younger than me.
(robotic noise)
But how older are you?
- I'm 27.
- Oh. Okay. That's not that bad. (laughs)
I thought you could be like, 23.
- Because you said that-- Oh--
- You know-- but no--
- (laughing) It's flattery.
I don't wanna guess your age.
You should never ask a woman their age.
- Oh, I'm 30.
- Yeah! That's what, three years?
- (laughing)
- She's like that senior girl, that popular cheerleader,
that I've always had a crush on.
So yeah. No, that's not a problem.
- Okay.
- Wow. I really like your eyes, you know?
- Ooh, I'm like-- being like struck by your compliments.
Michael!
- I'm a little smitten, I'm not gonna lie so--
- I do have another question. - Uh-huh.
- Okay, say you're having like a super relaxed day,
- Mhm?
- What food are you ordering,
and what show are you comfort re-watching?
- Oh my gosh. Okay so--
- It's a good question.
- It's been like dating reality TV shows.
- Oh!
- Yes.
- Like what? - Oh, Too Hot to Handle?
- That's a good one, yeah. - Yeah um-- I'm getting tacos.
Tacos and french fries.
Or just french fries in general.
- Wait.
- Uh-huh?
- Can you order tacos and french fries from the same place?
- No so--
- Or do you have to-- do you have to double, double?
- Double, double.
- Okay. I heard that was called a bang, bang
- A bang, bang?
- I literally-- (laughs)
- I guess I like to bang, bang.
- [Button] Okay. I'm gonna light it up.
If you don't hit me,
then it looks like you two are going on a second date.
- Yeah
- True.
- [Button] (gasp) Yay!
- You guys are so cute!
- [Button] Congratulations!
- Wait, we got a rainbow! Look at that!
- Oh, okay! Hey, goals!
Highlight of the year, to be honest with you.
