Ep. 116 – Two’s Company, COVID’s a Crowd: Non-Monogamy During a Pandemic

Posted on March 1, 2021 by Kelley

Roger helps me with my unhealthy relationship with Alexa and then lays out his plans for the Love Pyramid, a supplement to his 7-Day Date System.

We do an in-depth review of HBO Max’s There’s No I in Threesome and we get to the actual show topic at the 57-minute mark and then go right back off topic seven minutes later – Success!Tables get flipped over commercials on DVDs (because it’s the ’90s) and we find Hygge in the Space Program.

Ep. 114 – The Friendzone Debate: You’re Incorrect, But I Still Like You…as a friend.

Posted on February 1, 2021 by Kelley

Don’t yell at us — we know it was the Phantom Zone!

Roger is back to debate whether or not the Friend Zone exists. We talk about meeting one of the stars from Aliens, playing an Aliens RPG, and realizing that taking a second to Google the Phantom Zone shouldn’t be an alien concept.

Tables get flipped, Hygge is found, and we get one step closer to turning Roger’s 7-Date Program for Success into a book or something.

Ep. 112 – Dating in 2021: New Year, Same Pandemic

Posted on January 4, 2021 by Kelley

Join the Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/matinghabits

Roger returns to help me leaf through stacks of articles about how dating has changed since the pandemic started.

We tell you what we really think about Wonder Woman 1984 – spoiler alert, we hated it and rail against it from minute mark 12:30 – 46:40. That’s over a half hour of disdain!

Tables are flipped over the vaccine roll-out, and we get warm feelings from Flash Gordon and the local Starbucks Baristas.
