Episode Description: Once again, ladies, we gents of the Bachelor Pad - The Guillotine, The Biscuit, and Project Everlasting’s Mat Boggs and Jason Miller - got all curious and yanked one of your Cosmo mags from the coffee table to figure out what we don't know that you know that we know that you don't know. *sigh*

This week, Cosmo is trying to say that they know the “Love Questions Every Guy Asks Himself” in each of the three stages of courtship: On a First Date, Before Getting Serious, and Before Getting Married. Some of their claims are dead on, while others are just about as legit as a fortune cookie from McDonalds. Want to know what we REALLY ask when it comes to love?

6/19/08 - Dating Red Flags: What Makes Us Never Call You Again (click to download) with special author guests of Miss Match: A Seriously Funny Look at Dating!

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, blocking up the scenery, breaking up our minds…and, finally, breaking up our little notion that this relationship was something to write home about. When it comes to dating, the signs you collect and the signs you ignore can make the difference between a "Project Everlasting" love story and a Project Nevershouldhavehappened horror story. So we watch – with a microscope – for these dating red flags to alert us: Abandon ship immediately! The big red flags are easy enough to spot: "She blew her nose like a farmer…on her dinner plate." But in this LIVE episode we're talking about those nitty-gritties, the more subtle things women have done to send us running for the hills and WHY!

6/12/08 - Saying Au Revoir to the Bachelor Pad (click to download)

You’ve been dating Charlie for what seems like a decade (really just 10 months) and most of your gear is scattered between his place and yours. You even have your own sock drawer in his dresser (you being so practical). Now, according to our generation’s try-it-before-you-buy-it mentality, this is when you and Charlie start considering: “Gee, wouldn’t it be nice to cut that rent bill in half?” Wait hold up, lassie! Before you go commingling closet space with your man on a full-time basis, let us tell you how we males (secretly) view Cohabitation. Our perspectives may surprise you and, even better, it may save your relationship with dear Charlie, the big man of your dreams. And what other talk radio show has that kind of power and influence on your everlasting love story?

Episode 6/5/08 - F w/Bs: Strictly For the Mentally Ill?

6/5/08 - F w/Bs – Strictly For the Mentally Ill? (click here to download this episode)
“Just this once,” the woman whispers. “Totally,” replies her best guy-friend of ten years, eagerly ignorant. “Friendship first. Forever.” They shake on it, insistently even, and then they continue their impromptu makeout sesh. Tomorrow night, they’ll “accidentally” do it again. Three weeks later, their friendship smells like dead trout in the heating ducts. And so it goes, the old F w/B game, straddling the line between partners-in-crime and partners-in-bed – quite possibly the biggest betrayal of logic and forward-thinking reason in which opposite-sex buddies (who actually value their friendship) can engage. And yet…wait, what’s this? The fellas in The B Pad claim to know THE SECRET to F w/B’ing safely, intelligently, and with an eye for long-term friendship and happiness! It's called “Sex, Lies, and Fairy Tales” and it has everything to do with admitting defeat (because no, Stevie Wonder, no matter how hard you try, you may not have your cake and eat it, too). Tune in!

Episode 5/29/08: THE BREAK UP

5/29/08 - The Break Up (click here to download this episode!)
The tragic moment is always delivered in varied tunes. It could sound like,“I just don’t feel like I’m in love with you anymore,” or it could come out like: “I think I want to start seeing other people.” It could be a blunt blow, “You and I are not working – I’m out,” or something a little gentler: “I like you, but I don’t see myself marrying you.” Then, of course, you have the classic, albeit not-so-classy lines: “I’ve met someone else…better than you,” or “I’m pretty sure I’m gay for now on and I’m also pretty sure that you are the cause.” It’s The Break Up, the moment of disappointment and denial, and though it hurts to revisit these dark realms, we’re donning our ski-masks and waving our white flags because it’s time to surrender the ONE truth about men when it comes to breaking up: We are not so good at it. Oh, you already knew that? Well then, tune in this week as we explain in depth how men’s little hearts and minds process a Bon Voyage for the Disenchanted.

Lindsay Lioz's Cosmo Mag Follow Up

Lindsay Lioz, the Naughty partner of a new relationship blog called Naughty and Nice Advice, wanted to set a few things straight with that Cosmo article we discussed in our last episode, "Bachelors Reading Cosmo: How Men Fall in Love" (click on link to listen in).

Here's Lindsay's further advice for women:

1) On: Give him a job-- Better be careful how you "ask". Don't order! Don't be lazy; you know how to change a lightbulb. Make sure to say thank you. I recommend thank you sex.
2) On: Ask his opinion-- Men get mad when you don't take the given opinion. So be careful. They feel they're not talking for fun so you better take their advice.
3) On: Don his clothes--Button down workshirt, nothing underneath = gauranteed victory.
4) On: Blow him off--Don't pretend to be busy. Actually be busy--have a life!
5) On: Share fears--Don't pretend you're not baby marriage hungry if you are. You'd be wasting your time
6) On: Respect his privacy--If you feel the need to snoop, then he's prob up to no good, and you shouldn't be in the relationship
7) On: Let him see you primp--No on the makeup, YES on the moisturize!
8) On: Cook together--That's fine, but even better to cook for him. If you don't like to cook, just learn one meal he's crazy about and make it on occasion.

Episode: "What Makes Men Fall In Love?" (5/22)

Show Title: Guys Analyzing Cosmo: What Makes Men Fall In Love?

Show Description: Ok, we couldn’t resist…we were bored and fidgety and…we stole a Cosmo mag from your bathroom stack. (What! Barbara Walters in a nightie on the cover? What the heck would you do?) Then we caught a glimpse of a little gem of an article called “What Makes Men Fall in Love?” At that point you called out from the living room, asking if we were all right, to which we sturdily replied, “Ah, yep! Just shaving my back! No worries!” And you bought that, so we read the whole exposé. We laughed, we cried, we pissed, we moaned, and – most importantly – we learned why you women read this filthy trash – it’s frickin’ stellar!! Now it’s our turn to dish. We, the loverboys of The Bachelor Pad, are gonna give you a live report on what’s on and what’s off about Cosmo’s “What Makes Men Fall in Love?”

(you can click on that link to download the podcast!)

Show Description: Woman: "I'm thinking about getting a movie – anything you want to watch, babe?" Man: "Uhhuhrrhhegh." Ladies, did you get that? Ah, but listen to your lovable lil Chewbaca say it again: "Uhhuhrrhhegh." You see, if you were really paying attention, then you would've noticed that this particular grunt has an intonation that says (poignantly), "Yes, darling, I would like a peanut butter sandwich with a dainty pile of sliced apples on the side if you don't mind. And yes, I agree, I would like to have sex right now, too." Still confused, Ms. User-of-Way-Too-Many-Words? Well then, it's time for you to slow your roll and listen up as Mat, Jason, The Biscuit, and The Apple-Bottom-Jeans-Lovin' Guillotine classify the intricate grunts and primal sounds that make up Manspeak.

Episode 6 / May 8th / How to Pick Up on a Woman

Lest you think "picking up on a woman" is a discussion reserved only for the mouth and mind of a caveman, let us remind you that behind every Project Everlasting love story is a first glance across the room, a beckoning smile, and an awkward salutation, such as: "I like your gym shorts. I like you."
And so it is with great curiosity that we love-seeking men search for secrets to approaching women in a style that makes both parties feel warm and cuddly in the long run. In today's episode, How to Pick Up On a Woman, we also introduce one of the nation's great dating coaches into The Pad, Katerine Scott, so that we can finally figure out how to talk to the cutie on the treadmill without getting blasted with the "I hate men and I hate you for making me remove my headphones" death stare. Listen in rightio here: EPISODE 5/8 PODCAST

The Bachelor Pad is NOT a place for the cold-hearted male

Need proof? Mat, Jason, The Biscuit, and The Guillotine were seen together last Friday night NOT at the bars, NOT reading The Game, and NOT texting 50 women at the same time with the generic "Hey, what's up with you tonight?"

No, they were watching Jerry Maguire, searching for ways to walk the path of Tom Cruise, hoping to one day utter those totally uncheesy, totally realistic words to their soulmates: You complete me.

Serious.
