- Let's do iMessages.
- Woo.
- Eww.
- Hey y'all, welcome to "Talk Or Unlock"
I'm your host Kayline,
and we are here to watch these fresh faces dig up old dirt.
You already know the deal.
We wanna figure out whether or not these people
are ready for the dating world,
or if they have way too many red flags
by simply unlocking their lives through their phones.
Let's meet the contestants.
(sultry game show music plays)
- I have technically been single my entire life.
- I've been single honestly for so long.
Sometimes, I lose track because I haven't seriously dated
in a very, very long time.
- My ideal partner is really gorgeous.
Broad shoulders are really where its at.
- My ideal partner is someone who is very attractive.
Inside too, I think you need to be attractive on the outside
and the inside, but someone who has a great smile.
Someone who can make me laugh.
I did sign up for this, so I'm not afraid, but I'm nervous.
(laughs)
(bling sound)
- Now let me break down the rules.
We've got three rounds focusing on different categories
we all want answers to on a first date.
Each player will take turns choosing a category question,
then decide if they wanna answer truthfully,
or unlock and reveal a part of their phone at random.
If they choose unlock,
the opposing player gets to choose what app
they would like to search through.
We don't want to find any red flags,
so we can give these lovely singles the green light
to go on a romantic date on us.
If I find at least three things that are deemed red flags
in our playbook, you will get blocked,
and walk away aimlessly single.
Are you ready?
- Yes, I hope we have a connection,
'cause I'm trying to go on a free date on y'all.
(John laughs)
- I hope y'all have a connection, too.
(neon light buzzes)
The categories for this round are future, past and fears.
So Isaiah, we're gonna start with you.
- Yes, okay.
- So what would you like to choose.
- Let's go with fears.
- Now, you must choose if you wanna talk or unlock.
- We're here to unlock, so let's unlock. (whoosh)
- So the twist here is that John Henry now gets to choose
which part of your phone you'll be unlocking.
We have browser history, photos, and Finsta.
- Browser history.
- Oh, you said 100% browser history.
- [Isaiah] Lord, I don't know what's in my browser.
- Okay, so what do we see?
What do we see?
(laughs)
- This is just everything
that's my work related information, events and things.
- The Chaturbate mobile's work related?
- It's a pop up, so yeah. - It's a pop up, so it is...
- That comes on generally when
you've clicked on a porn site.
- Yeah I don't what a clue's Chaturbate.
(John laughs)
- On Snippy's, I've definitely,
met some nice people that I have gone on dates with,
and who have taken me to nice places
and done some nice things for me.
- And then FetLife.
- FetLife is like a kinky fantasy site.
You know, just exploring my kinky side.
- I'm not super fe...
I think you have to be with someone you trust,
and a partner that you trust
and wanna build with to explore fetishes at least,
that's where I'm at, that was interesting to me.
- Now let's bring it right back to John Henry.
Fears, future, past?
- Let's do the past.
- [Kayline] Do you wanna talk or do you wanna unlock?
- Unlock.
- All right, so the choices are Instagram DMs,
dating apps, or notes app.
- I wanna see what your DMs are talking about.
- Let's do into the DMs.
"I just think you're pretty, tasteful nudes?
I don't generally, but I remember taking photos of you naked
and with hickeys and sweaty,
and I must admit, it's still quite sexy."
Explain what's going on here.
- This is someone that I had had sex with in the past.
I remember some really phenomenal nudes,
and we were re-sparking it, and I wanted to know if-
- Developing back?
- If he still had those photos.
That was, like, me being vulnerable
and asking for something for someone,
and I don't like to have people see me be vulnerable.
That was a little embarrassing.
(laughs) - So how do we feel about him
not closing doors on past relationships?
- Kinda interesting 'cause I'm like,
if I were to go on a date with somebody, and you're like,
"Oh hey, we're at a restaurant
and you're like, Oh, that's my ex, but we're friends now."
I'm, like, open door friends?
Back door friends? - Are you, what's going on?
- Are you really friends?
Is it another sweaty night,
and you wanted to take some more sweaty pictures?
(laughs)
What's really happening over here?
- That's fair, I've never been in a relationship,
so I don't feel the need to close the door.
- All right, that's a red flag for you.
- [John] That probably doesn't sound very good.
- That's a red flag for me.
So we're gonna call that a red flag on John Henry.
- Red flag.
- Isaiah, we're going back to you.
- I wanna go with the future.
- So now do you wanna talk, or do you wanna unlock?
- Talk.
- Are you looking for a man with more money than you?
- Oh my God, yes.
(cash register rings)
Yes, I'm very classy, I like nice things.
I want my man to take me to nice places.
I want to fly on a private jet. I want to be in a Bentley.
- Oh, you want Mr. Moneybags.
- I want moneybags.
- I'm right there with you, Isaiah.
I'm trying to get flew out, too.
- I mean, I'm an actor/model.
So the dream is always to blow up.
Get a lot of money.
I think a lot...
When we talk about being rich,
we talk about being rich personally.
But I don't wanna raise anywhere that I can't take
my people and my folks with me.
So I'm more about raising us all up,
and changing all of our circumstances, as opposed to like,
can I get above everyone else around me.
- So last part of this round,
we are sticking with you, John Henry.
So future, past or fears?
- Let's do fears.
- And so, do you wanna talk or do you wanna unlock?
- Unlock.
- Dating app, notes app, or UberEats?
- Imma go with the dating apps.
- Lets pull it up.
Isaiah, do you wanna read the about me?
- I am exploring polyamory at the moment.
I don't know what that is.
- So polyamory in general.
It's the belief that you can be partners
or have relationships with different people,
and you can get your different wants and needs met
by different people.
Loving deeply is a growth edge of mine that I'm, like,
being called into by my partners.
- So you'd be open to a monogamous relationship
if you found the right person?
- Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think that's just...
That's another conversation you have to had.
- He said he's open to monogamy, are you open to polyamory?
- No.
(all laugh)
- You tried to get there.
- I gotta do my research,
but right now, it's just a hard no.
- It's not my person...
It's not who I am,
and I don't think I could ever be like that
in a relationship.
Of course, if I'm single,
I can hook up with whoever I wanna hook up with,
and do whatever I wanna do. But if I was in a relationship,
it's not something that I would consider,
or that I would want my partner to partake in.
(neon sign buzzes)
- Now that we have gotten to know you guys a little better,
we are moving to round two.
So the categories for this round
are family, exes and friends.
Isaiah, which of these would you like to select?
- Let's go with family.
- Now would you like to talk or unlock?
- Let's unlock.
- So the apps that you can unlock
are iMessages, notes app or Finsta.
- Let's do the Finsta.
- Whoa, do you like what you see?
- Yeah, okay.
- That was actually during the pandemic.
This was gonna be my OnlyFans name, SlimThickPapi,
'cause I'm slim thick and I'm a papi.
So these are slimthickpapi.
But then I was just like,
I don't know if I wanna let it all hang out there
and give the world everything, so look at me.
- I mean, we're giving the world a little bit here.
- I love this, yes.
- This open robe moment.
- He looks good, too.
Okay, I see you.
- Now, the real question is would you subscribe?
- Well if things went well here,
I wouldn't have to subscribe.
- Ooh, you are right, you are correct.
Let's swing it on over to John Henry.
We have family, exes, friends.
What would you like to choose?
- Let's do friends.
- And do you wanna talk, or do you wanna unlock?
- I wanna unlock.
- You guys love to unlock.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I am loving the energy with these unlocks.
- Yes, I'm like unlock, unlock, show me what's up in here.
- You said I want you exposed, tell me everything.
- Would you look through someone's phone?
- Yeah, I'm nosy as hell.
I'll be like...
- Okay, but are we gonna ask first?
Or are we really just gonna...
He's in the shower, let me just...
- I don't know, sometimes I feel like I'm a detective.
So I might just look at it.
(laughs)
- You love drama, that's what I'm feeling.
- I don't know if I'm gonna ask.
- Okay, you know what?
Round two red flag on Isaiah.
Because why are we looking through phones without asking?
Please.
- That was, like, a keep your face straight kind of moment.
I really don't like control,
and I don't like being controlled,
and I think if you're in the relationship
where you trust someone, you don't have to do that.
- [Kayline] Okay so Isaiah, you get to choose an app.
Photos, browser history or Grindr?
- Ooh, I love me some photos.
I wanna see what's going on in the photo album.
- So we're in the recently deleted,
and there is a whole lot of blocks,
so I am assuming that is what it might be.
- Yeah. - So why are they deleted?
Were you just like...
- I don't like to keep nudes on my phone.
Sometimes people want to see that, so I send it,
and then I delete it.
- So how often are you sending these eggplants?
- Honestly, only like four or five times a year.
- Okay, so it sounds like Christmas.
Four or five times a year, got it.
Now let's go back to you, Isaiah.
- [Isaiah] Okay, okay.
- So family, exes or friends?
- Let's go to friends.
- Do you wanna talk or do you wanna unlock?
- I want to unlock.
- So we have iMessages, IG DMs or dating apps?
- Let's do dating apps.
Let's put the shoe on the other foot.
- [Kayline] All right, Ooh.
- Ooh, hey.
- Okay, so the name says a lot in itself.
(both laugh)
- Okay, but also nothing to hide.
Immediately an anonymous profile with no photo.
- Oh, I don't do photos. - Point.
- I'm an influencer.
- John Henry, what would you like to choose?
- Exes.
- But are we talking, or are we unlocking?
- Let's talk.
- Would you get back with any of your exes
if the ball was in your court?
- Yeah, I would.
- Here we go, backsliding again.
You would Immediately, he said...
Immediately yes.
- Which one though?
- Are you thinking of one in particular?
- I'm thinking of two.
One of them I'm hoping would have grown since that time.
- And how long ago was that?
- That was about four or five years.
- Oh, okay.
- I don't like it, not if I was gonna seriously date you.
I feel like that's another red flag.
- It is.
- If we're together and you backslide,
there is no coming back to me.
So that's my take on that.
- All right, Isaiah, family, exes and friends.
So what would you like to choose?
- I would like to go with exes.
- And so do you wanna talk or do you wanna unlock?
- I'm gonna talk.
- What's the most extreme thing that you've ever done
in reaction to an ex wronging you?
- One of my exes.
I let them come live with me.
They moved in with me, and then had some other partners
that I didn't know about.
I found out he went on a trip with another guy.
They hooked up, and he was madly in love with this guy.
(gasps)
He didn't know I knew, 'cause I found out from Instagram.
So he tried to come back to my apartment.
He came back to my apartment
not knowing that I know about this.
I start throwing all his (beep) out the window.
(record scratches)
We had a balcony, we lived on the fifth floor.
So, I'm throwing his suitcases.
I'm throwing his clothes. - Oh my God.
Is that you, Angela Bassett?
- I'm unpredictable, I'm a wild card.
- A wild card.
- You wanna cheat?
Go ahead.
- Well he's not cheating, he's telling you what it is.
- He's telling me, yeah.
I still might get mad.
I might be like, "Yeah, that's cool with me."
Then I'm like, "You know what? (beep) you."
- That's totally different.
- Yeah, I don't know, I'm a Pisces.
We have different sides, the mood swings.
- If I told you, and then you could still flip
and throw my (beep) on the lawn,
even though we had already agreed...
- [Kayline] Yeah, that's the red flag.
- That's, that's a red flag.
- Y'all are making me just dish out these red flags
one by one by one.
All right, so we are finishing up this round
with you John Henry.
- Okay, let's do family.
- Do you wanna talk or do you wanna unlock?
- I wanna talk.
- How in the loop do you keep your family
about your love life and your sex life?
- Not very in the loop at all.
Honestly, I'm a little nervous
for if any of them ever see this.
- Oh, me too, Oh Lord.
My mom would just...
Oh, her head would pop off.
- Some of them would be more okay than others about this,
I think, and about my sex life in general.
- Do they all know that you're polyamorous?
- No, none of them know that I'm polyamorous.
- Oh, okay.
- They all know I'm gay, I'm queer.
But none of them know that I'm polyamorous.
I think at the end of the day, if I'm not shameful about it,
that's what really puts the twist on it.
- There's nothing shameful about sex.
There's nothing shameful about your sexuality,
where you're at in life.
We're all individuals doing our own thing.
Shame on you for trying to shame me.
- Yes. - Exactly.
- Come on, talk about it, I love that.
(neon sign buzzes)
- For this last round,
we're gonna be talking about sex and dating.
The categories for this round are sex, flirting and romance.
Isaiah, go with your gut on this one.
- Flirting.
- Now do you wanna talk or do you wanna unlock?
- I wanna talk.
- What body part that you can see right now on John Henry
gets your attention?
(laughs)
- I would have to say his legs.
His very nice, attractive legs.
I've been kinda checking them out this whole time.
It was definitely fun to, like, check him out.
He's very handsome.
- Isaiah has charm.
I don't think anyone could ever watch a single video
that's Isaiah's in and say that he doesn't have charm.
We love.
- He said jiggle, jiggle, jiggle.
Can we get a closeup on the jiggle?
(laughs)
(beep)
John Henry, so what do you want to select?
- Let's do flirting.
- Do you wanna talk or do you wanna unlock?
- Unlock.
- All right, so we have notes app, IG DMs or iMessage?
- iMessages.
- I think my text flirt game is real strong.
- Ooh. - Ooh.
- Oh, wow. - [Kayline] Ooh.
- Ooh, okay. - Okay.
So you said,
"Good, I'd want you ready to eat me out, give me a sec."
And then a picture with your nice...
You're mooning over there.
You said, "Let me show you what I got in the back."
Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake.
- This person was flaky.
We tried to meet up a couple times,
but they'd always have an excuse and would cut out.
- I've been in situations too before
where I actually have flaked on people.
I've actually blocked them
within minutes of them arriving to my house.
I've been, like-
- Someone's driving, on the way?
- Yeah, you know what?
You're kinda creepy, block.
- Why'd you give them your address?
- And then I hide under my covers
like they know where I'm at.
Like, oh my God, they're coming for me.
- Red flag.
So Isaiah, we are going to automatically unlock,
'cause you have no more talks. - Oh, I have no choice.
- You don't have a choice.
Meetups, iMessages, or IG DMs?
- Let's do iMessages.
- Oh, damn, what's up?
- Woo, it looks like you just said I came to play.
I am here to stay.
- Yes, ready to swing and hit it out the park.
- So we've got a eggplant image straight down,
and it says thanks.
Come suck him. - Ew.
- Did y'all see that.
John Henry, if you got this picture, how would you respond?
- It's a little forward.
I'd probably say something like,
"Oh, is that really what you want?"
I'm a writer, so especially over text,
I'm like it's playful, it's colorful.
It's push and pull. - [Kayline] You're poetic
in the messages.
- Yes, when this is kinda like...
- Right, you're like okay.
- Cut right through it, which is fine.
- Like, pull up, pop out.
- John Henry, sex, flirting, romance.
- Let's talk about sex.
- Now, do you wanna do talk or unlock
before we talk about it?
- Let's unlock, let's end it with a bang.
- Oh, see I thought we were gonna talk about it.
- Nah. - You wanna unlock.
Notes, IG DMs, or iMessages?
- I wanna see what you're writing in your notes.
- All right, let's pull up those notes.
- Oh, that.
- Oh, that, let's read a sentence or two.
- "Choke me.
The feelings on hands around my throat comforts me.
Maybe its because then,
I can be sure at least somebody cares
whether or not I am breathing.
Knows I'm still here,
drawing labored breaths with drying pens.
Can hold me back from death, or give it to me if they wish."
- This is actually very deep, you are a poet.
- Thank you, it's about submission, and about,
'cause I'm in control of my own life a lot of the time,
and this is about letting someone else do that.
- I mean, choking in the bedroom that's your own business.
(laughs)
But we don't condone that over here.
- I love what you have done here with this poem.
(laughs)
Very, very well spoken and said and yeah choke me.
(laughs)
I'm not really that big into even slapping.
It's just not me, I'm just not that, kinky, I guess.
- These were the end of the three rounds,
and now let's get to the red flag roundup.
(neon sign buzzes)
Red, red, red, red.
Where do I even start?
Number one, with Isaiah.
He was talking about yes,
I will give you permission to go out on these dates,
but I'll also change my mind in the same breath.
That, red flag.
Number two, snooping through the phone.
We've been there, we've done that, I've done it.
It's not the healthiest, and I know that's a red flag
deep down in my heart.
But the fact that John Henry was open to showing the phone,
and still Isaiah was like,
"Oh, even with or without your permission,
I'm gonna snoop through your phone."
Red flag.
Literally you're telling me
you're gonna tell a man to pull up,
and then in the same breath say, "Just kidding, blocked."
Red flag.
John Henry wasn't backsliding, he was skating.
He said I will go to my ex in a heartbeat,
and that is probably the biggest red flag of them all.
With polyamory, John Henry is very stern about that,
and unfortunately for Isaiah,
that's not what he's looking for.
So it's not a red flag,
but it's definitely not something
that they're on the same page about.
They already know it's coming, but let's break it to them.
(neon sign buzzing)
Honestly, with seven to nine red flags,
I think it's safe to say
that we are not paying for your date.
Sorry but not sorry.
You guys can go ahead and get to know each other
on your own time, on your own dime if you want.
(laughs)
But as a consolation prize,
we got you guys some cocoa butter.
(both gasp)
Stay moisturized.
- Oh yes.
- And until you figure yourselves out, stay single.
- So the red flags that Kayline pointed out,
I definitely think are accurate 'cause for me,
I can be a little crazy, chaotic.
- I can be really emotional, I can be really wishy washy.
Backsliding is a problem of mine.
- This was a wonderful episode of "Talk Or Unlock."
Thank you guys so much for tuning in.
I'm your host, Kayline, and see you next time.
- Would I swipe right on John Henry?
- Would I swipe right on Isaiah?
- Yes.
- I think we could get into a lot of chaos.
But I'm not looking for chaos, no.
(bright music plays)
