What happens when cosmic threats and dating disasters collide? This week, Matt and Pat dive into the strange world of mysterious space objects and the equally perplexing landscape of modern dating apps.

The conversation kicks off with news of a 12-mile wide object hurtling toward Earth at light speed that has scientists puzzled after it mysteriously changed direction. Is it a comet, an alien spacecraft, or something else entirely? Adding to the cosmic intrigue, the hosts discuss a recently discovered radio signal from deep space that repeats at regular intervals every 22 minutes. Whether you're a believer in extraterrestrial life or a skeptic, the timing of these discoveries has the guys wondering if we're being prepared for first contact.

From outer space to personal space, Pat shares his adventures in the dating app universe as a newly single man in his 40s. His successful connection with Phyllis, a Turkish pharmacy owner with a captivating accent, stands in stark contrast to horror stories of matches who ghost after promising conversations and dates who can barely string together responses beyond "okay." The hosts break down the economics of dating apps, revealing the surprisingly high costs of premium features and the psychological tactics used to keep users swiping and paying.

Throughout their candid conversation, Matt and Pat offer practical advice for dating app users – stop with the excessive filters, be honest about who you are, and for heaven's sake, learn to carry a conversation. Whether you're worried about cosmic invasions or just trying to navigate the treacherous waters of modern romance, this episode delivers equal parts humor, insight, and the occasional profanity-laden truth bomb that might just save your love life before the aliens arrive.
