‐ They must really have a match for you.

I've never had a dating app.

I've never‐‐I've never had a smartphone, my man.

You got a flip phone? ‐ Mm‐hmm.

‐ If you pull out a Nokia right now, I'm gonna lose it.

‐ Are you‐‐are you serious right now?

‐ Flip‐‐ ‐ Holy [bleep].

‐ Bennett, I'm right with you, bro.

Mm, yes! Bennett is the guy, man.

Ever since I met Bennett,

I knew that he was a guy that I would like.

Kinda nerdy, quirky guy, but he's very genuine,

very real, very authentic, and hopefully,

his wife is just as quirky and awkward,

because I think that'd be really cool to see.

‐ If there's nothing physical there, there's no point.

‐ [sighs] ‐ It's‐‐it's over.

I'm not saying that attraction can't grow.

‐ It can. ‐ I am saying that, like,

if she's walking down the aisle, dressed to the nines,

and there's no attraction there,

what possible hope can there be?

‐ Say when you see her initially, it's not it,

but say, like, your conversation

is where you want it to be.

What does that do for you? ‐ Everything else.

‐ If there's nothing going on, if there's no spark,

no nothing‐‐oh, my gosh. She is the best.

[clicks tongue]

All right, well, just...

‐ Brett's a pretty confident guy.

I can't tell if that's confidence to, like,

overcome something else.

I don't think we're necessarily aligned

in terms of, like, our values

and how we would approach specific situations,

but that might work for some women,

and I'm interested to see, like, how he is as a husband.

‐ Who's to say, like, you standing at the aisle,

she's not attracted to you? Then what?

‐ I mean, she'd be crazy if she's not attracted to me.

To be fair. No, to be fair.

‐ Are you guys gonna kiss your husband at the altar?

‐ I hope so. I mean, I want to.

‐ Are you? ‐ I don't feel like I wouldn't.

‐ Do you plan on kissing your wife on wedding day?

‐ Yes. ‐ Of course.

‐ Yes. ‐ Absolutely.

‐ Do you consummate the marriage the night of?

a "consummate the marriage the night of" type of guy.

‐ I'm not going to. ‐ You crazy as [bleep].

‐ Unless the chemistry is just, like off the charts‐‐

‐ Even then.

‐ So if you plan on kissing her,

then how do you not plan on, like‐‐

if she wants to consummate the night, like, how do you not?

‐ You're right, there‐‐

there is no difference between a kiss and sex.

‐ A kiss is intimate.

A kiss is more intimate than even having sex.

Like, you can have sex‐‐ ‐ That's not true, bro.

‐ That's‐‐that's freaking‐‐ ‐ You freaking kidding me?

‐ A kiss is more intimate than sex.

‐ That is not‐‐ that is not true.

‐ He is right. When you're kissing properly,

you are looking in the eyes. ‐ Exactly!

‐ You're biting lips‐‐ ‐ Uh...

‐ There are several moments when Brett and Woody

are talking, and I just go somewhere else.

And I'm not even listening,

and it doesn't matter if I'm listening.

‐ Kissing is very intimate. ‐ Bro‐‐

‐ 'Cause you have to physically‐‐

you gotta think about breath.

‐ They love the sound of their own voice

probably more than anything else.

‐ So, like, are you gonna consummate your marriage?

‐ I don't even know if I'm gonna wanna kiss him, so...

I'll see how the kiss goes. ‐ See how the kiss goes.

‐ Hour by hour, see how it goes.

‐ Baby steps.

‐ My main thing was, "Can I really do this?"

That‐‐that's been my main thought.

Like, I'm taking it literally day by day,

'cause I'm, like, I'm gonna freak myself out if I think,

like, too far ahead, so it's‐‐it's day by day for me.
