MFM Podcast

Description:
Is it really true that men get bored after 90 days? Why do guys ghost after coffee dates? And what does your phone say about your dating potential? In this episode of the MFM Podcast, Dan, Michele, and guest Mark (aka Apex Android Mark) get real about modern dating, attachment styles, sex, situationships, and why some women are out here sewing AirTags into sneakers.

We talk about:

• Green text bubbles and dating discrimination
• How often men actually want sex in relationships
• The difference between attraction for men vs. women
• Love languages, red flags, and roommate energy
• Why Dan can’t say no (and ends up with dinner dates he didn’t want)
• Mark’s accidental full-blown relationship
• Michele’s keylogger confession (and the IT guy who got caught)

Plus: Do women care more about height than honesty? Is "coffee first" a red flag now? And what's the real reason people don't want to share location?

Raw, funny, and way too real. Hit play.

Shav is back from China—and so is the chaos. In this unfiltered episode, Dan, Michele, and Shav dive into the raw realities of modern dating, retroactive jealousy, social media thirst traps, and why most relationships are doomed from the start.

We break down why nice guys finish last, the viral “early onset obsession” theory, and why therapy might not be helping the way we think it is.

Plus: wild Diddy party stories, the Shannon Sharpe scandal, and why men secretly rate women by how long until they get... disgusted.

What happens when the internet decides to pit 100 men against one silverback gorilla? We dive into the most ridiculous—and viral—debate no one asked for but everyone’s obsessed with.

Could 100 guys really take down an apex predator? Would planning help? Does fearlessness matter? And why is this blowing up in Slack channels and group chats everywhere?

Spoiler: It’s two against one on this debate. You’ll have to decide which side you’re on.

You ever hear a story so messy you don’t even know where to start?

This week on the MFM Mini Pod, we’re diving into the Karen Read case — the trial blowing up the true crime world (and TikTok).Was it drunk rage? A coverup? Or the worst case of “wrong place, wrong time” we’ve ever seen?

We break down all the players:

- John O’Keefe, the off-duty cop found dead in the snow.

- Karen Read, the girlfriend accused of running him over — or maybe just being too convenient to blame.

- Brian and Nicole Albert, who hosted the afterparty at 34 Fairview Road (where things went really sideways).

- Colin Albert, the nephew with the sketchy timeline and some serious temper issues.

- Jen McCabe, the friend with the very suspicious 2:27 AM “how long to die in the cold” Google search.

- Brian Higgins, the flirty fed who tossed his phone at a military base (because why not?).

- Michael Proctor, the lead cop who literally texted about how much he hated Karen — and just got fired.

- Special prosecutor Hank Brennan is running the case now, but Read’s defense team — Alan Jackson and David Yannetti — are coming in hot.

This case has it all: bad vibes, missing evidence, deleted phones, conspiracy theories, and one giant question — did Karen Read even do it?

If you're into true crime, citizen sleuthing, or just wild courtroom drama, you're gonna want to hear this one.
