[TIRES SQUEAL]

- Can I ask you something?

- Hmm?

You know when we kissed?

Yeah, that was f*cking hilarious.

Yeah, it was so funny.

So good.

Um, so, like, when you're dating someone...

- Like, for real, like, not like us...

- Mm-hmm?

You can't, like, ask, like, "How was it?" or, like, "Was I...

Was I good?" Wait, you want to know if your kissing was good?

Yeah.

Is that weird?

You don't...

You don't have to.

Oh, no, I'm definitely going to.

Okay, so, first, I would say, lips like pillows, that's great.

Pillows?

Okay.

Okay, great.

Wow.

Tongue was definitely too hard and muscle-y, like a little jabby.

Okay, I'll...

I'll watch out for that.

Yeah.

Once this guy, like, ran his tongue over my teeth, and at first, I was like, "What the f*ck is this weird Sonicare action?"

And then I was kind of into it.

I don't know.

I wouldn't...

I wouldn't recommend that for you, though.

I would just, like, go in a-a little firm, but not too pushy-push.

Like, that, like...

A little less active.

- Less active?

- Yes.

Okay.

Okay, that's great advice.

Thanks.

Don't ask me to practice with you.

No.

No, no, no, of course not.

Oh, my God.

So you don't want to.

N-No, I mean...

I mean, I-I would love to.

How are you guys?

Are you guys on another one of your sad fake dates?

Creepy, right?

More just sad than anything.

Like, neither of you can date real people, so you just fake-date each other.

She's mad on the home front and coming for us.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I would not even know how to go on a real non-hookup date.

Like, what was your last good date before this?

Bo was your first real date?

Define "date."

And whatever, 'cause we just weren't right for each other.

[VOLUME INCREASES, VOLUME LOWERS]

- How do you know that?

- Because there was zero chemistry.

But, like, I don't know, like, on "Married at First Sight," the wives are always like, "Ew, I hate you.

Don't touch me." But that's just 'cause they're arranged marriages.

Yeah, Jamie and Doug.

Yes, exactly.

Like, at first, she thought he was so ugly and didn't even want to take wedding photos with him.

- He was legit ugly.

- He was so sweet.

No, I know.

He was so genuinely patient and understanding.

So, at the end of six weeks, she's like, "I actually love you a lot, Doug. Let's stay married."
