- Let's do it for a while.
Like, I think like,
like five seconds minimum.
And then like a bit of tongue as well.
- What about our hands?
Where do you wanna put our hands?
- Um...
(producer laughing)
(men stuttering)
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- All right let's just go for it.
(upbeat jazz music)
- [Interviewer] What's your name and how old are you?
- I'm Dallas Quick
and I'm 28 years old.
- My name's Wranq Ramon.
I'm 24.
- [Interviewer] What are you here to do today?
- Kiss another dude,
on the lips.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever kissed a man before?
- I have not.
- [Interviewer] What's your sexual orientation?
- Heterosexual.
- [Interviewer] When did you know you were straight?
- I think I still ask myself every once in a while,
but you know, I think it probably came to,
pretty firm decision on that,
as like a teenager.
- I think I watched American Pie and I was like,
damn Tara Reid look so fine.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever questioned your sexuality?
- At one point.
I had to have been like 11 or 12.
This, dude was super cool to me.
I was like, whoa.
He kind of treated me, like a partner.
I was like, that's kind of dope.
- [Interviewer] Why haven't you kissed a man before?
- From where my parents are from.
It's kind of frowned upon.
My dad's from Turkey and my mom's from Iran.
So, at least in the case with Iran,
not the friendliest place
for people who aren't straight.
- I'm Aiden.
- I'm Wranq.
- Nice to meet you.
- Jesse.
- Knee.
- Knee? - Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Why are you doing this?
- When presented with the idea,
my body reacted very reflexively,
with a great deal of discomfort.
I don't respect that part of me.
- [Interviewer] Which is what?
- Internalized prejudice, probably.
- I think often times,
guys kissing is very taboo.
Especially when compared to straight women kissing.
It's important to try to break that down in certain ways.
And I thought this would be a cool opportunity
to try and do that.
- Hey, I'm Don.
- Hey, Omar.
- Are you nervous?
- A little bit now?
Now it's like in the moment.
- Yeah, yeah
So you haven't kissed a guy either?
- I have not kissed a guy either.
- I think low-key is a comfort zone.
You gotta step out the box.
- Yeah.
- So here I am,
way out the box.
- [Interviewer] What are you hoping to get from it?
- I don't know.
Maybe just answer some questions that have been
in the back of my mind.
What if I talked to that dude
when I was 11 or 12 years old?
Who knows?
Maybe this will answer something.
- [Interviewer] Are you ready?
Did you brush your teeth today?
- Oh shit.
I chewed like three packs of gum.
- [Interviewer] Okay, that's fine.
That's good enough.
- Hey.
- Hey, I'm Brian.
- Dallas.
- Nice to meet you, Dallas.
- [Interviewer] Are either of you
in a relationship right now?
- Yeah.
- Me as well.
- [Interviewer] So you two are willing to cheat on camera.
(Brian laughing)
- I have acquired the permission of my partner.
- Yeah. I got permission as well.
- [Interviewer] Is there a physical compliment,
you can give each other right now?
- He's quite handsome.
I like his outfit.
- Yeah. Dude.
- [Interviewer] Talk about what you're comfortable with.
- Do you want to do like,
like a sustained peck, as the first kiss?
- Okay.
- Are you okay with me,
touching your face or your head?
- Yeah. You?
- Okay, yeah.
- I don't know.
Where do girls put their hands usually?
- I'm trying to think.
What if we'd like do the same motions,
so there's like kind of symmetry to that.
So that way it's like, I don't know.
- You know, let's just...
- Let's do it. Yeah
- Let's just do it.
- Let's just be in the moment.
- I would say no tongue.
- Okay.
- I'm not really a big tongue...
Even with girls. I'm not really into tongue.
(Wranq laughing)
- You wanna do, no tongue first one? Tongue second one?
- Right, right, okay.
I think that's good.
I've never like, thought through the logistics
of a kiss before like this.
I just kind of go with my intuition.
- [Interviewer] Do you just want to go with it?
- Right.
- [Interviewer] Are you okay with it, Jesse?
- I'm good, I'm good. Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Okay. Let's just see what happens.
- Cool.
- Dude, let's do it.
(slow jazz music)
- Not bad.
(audience clapping)
- Huh?
(audience clapping)
(Jesse laughing)
- Yeah dude.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, let's fist pound after a kiss.
(Brian laughing)
- That's...couldn't be any more straight.
- Oh God, yeah.
- [Interviewer] How was that?
- Yeah, it a little underwhelming, you know?
- Yeah.
- I feel like I was building it up in my head to be
something scarier than it was in real life.
- Yeah.
- How was it?
- Bro, you taste good.
- I tastes good?
- Yes.
- Thanks.
- You have good teeth too.
So, I'm a very,
I'm pleasantly surprised.
- Yeah. I did feel a little bit of his...
- the stubble? (laughs)
- a little bit of the stubble.
That's that's not something
I've ever felt before in a kiss.
It was just like something poking me,
on like my upper lip a little bit, you know.
- Chemistry is such a big thing for me.
- Yeah.
- And we're just meeting for the first time.
- Yeah.
- So like, we don't exactly how that like...
- Yeah.
- What are you doing? What am I doing?
Where's your tongue going? Yeah.
- It takes some time.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Are you comfortable doing one more kiss?
- Why not?
I mean...
- [Interviewer] Only live once right?
- Yeah.
- Let's do it for a while.
Like I think like, five seconds minimum.
And then like a bit of tongue as well.
Are you feel good with that?
- Yeah. I'm fine with that.
- Okay.
- What about our hands?
Where do you wanna put our hands?
- Um...
(men stuttering)
- All right, let's just...
- Yeah, yeah.
- All right. Let's just go for it.
- All right, Tell us when you're ready.
- [Interviewer] Three, two, one...go!
(slow jazz music)
- [Interviewer] Woo!
- Hell yeah.
- That was nice.
(audience clapping)
Yeah.
You're a good kisser.
- Am I?
- Yeah. You're right.
- How was that kiss?
- Hey, that was a good kiss.
- It was a good kiss.
- Yeah.
- How good of a kisser, am I?
Or how bad?
- I don't know that last one,
I was like, ah...
a little all over the place, but I was like,
it's all good.
- I liked it, dude.
You got a lot of movement
and fluid movement there.
- Appreciate that. (laughs)
- I'm a bit more of a stiff kisser.
- [Interviewer] Did it feel different from kissing a woman?
- Honestly, I'm surprised.
Like for me it felt very similar to kissing girls,
especially when I like, kiss a girl for the first time.
It kind of felt like emotionally, very similar.
- Yeah. I agree.
- [Interviewer] Did you learn anything about yourself?
- I feel like I can start kissing the homies.
Let them know that they're truly loved and appreciated.
- Yeah. That's dope, dude.
- I don't know why I have this idea in my head
that this was gonna be, it's gonna feel different,
but it really just felt like any other kiss, you know?
That was probably my biggest takeaway.
- That kiss was just a kiss.
There was like, no like feelings attached to it.
- Yeah. Like, at least when I've kissed other girls,
I felt like there's like this,
it's this sexual tension that like,
builds up even more after the kiss.
But I think when we ended the kiss,
like I didn't feel like, wanting to seek more.
- Yeah. Yeah. I agree with that.
- [Interviewer] Did it feel competitive?
- That's a great question.
- Low-key on the last one. It did.
- Yeah.
- Who's a better kisser in this situation.
- How stupid is that male instinct, that like
we had to make this thing competitive.
- [Interviewer] Great job, you guys.
Thank you.
