We get into the overall landscape of dating reality shows, the giant blow up between Carlton and Diamond, (should he have disclosed that he was bisexual sooner?) the love triangle between Jessica, Barnett and Lauren and much, much more!

Happy Valentine's Day! We're back for Season 3 with Ryan and Philip, who met on Tinder 5 years ago. Ryan tells Pierre and Iman about what he *didn't* want: an actor and a smoker. The love of his life, Philip, turned out to be both. Funny how life works! They discuss their first date, a botched first attempt at a trip to Dia:Beacon in Upstate New York and navigating a sometimes-open relationship.

This week, Iman and Pierre are tackling the TLC reality TV franchise "90 Day Fiancé!" The show is chock full of drama (real and manufactured) and of course it ties right into the theme of How'd U Meet? The reality series also gets into issues of race, immigration, xenophobia, cultural differences and current political moment. To discuss, we brought on friend to the show Kyshia Smith (who was on with her partner last season) and Pierre's partner, Claude.

Iman and Pierre decided to try something new this week! They integrated their love of pop culture with the subject they discuss each week — relationships. From Ciara "leveling up" from Future, and our gendered ideas around spousal support (Wendy Williams was the inspiration for that) to Ayesha Curry's desire to feel wanted by men other than her husband, they tackled your favorite Twitter topics. Journalist/on-air personality, Paulana Lamonier also returned to the show to help them discuss. Tune in!

This week Iman and Pierre discuss two of their favorite 90s sitcoms — Living Single and Martin! How do those shows succeed and fall short? How did each show tackle race, dating, sex and friendship?
Also: where did all the black working-class sitcoms go? Sheneneh: was she progressive or a stereotype? Why do so many millennial women love Maxine Shaw? Could Martin’s jokes about Pam fly in today’s climate? We also touch on how 90s sitcoms influenced Issa Rae and much more.
