Also: the myth of monogamy, the internet and physical dating industries, and love advice books.''''Special Guest Experts include:''''Dr. Julia Hare (Psychologist)''Dr. Trish McDermott (V.P. of Romance, Match.com)''Dr. Helen Fisher (Anthropologist / Author)''Sherrie Schneider (Author)''Dr. David Barash (Professor of Psychology, University of Washington)''John Gray (Author)moreless

      • Penn: [on John Gray's bedroom advice] This "love machine"'s top 20 sexual turn-on lines include such originals as...[monotone] "You are so beautiful", "I love sharing my life with you", "Your breasts are perfect". And, our favorite, "You are so wet". Edit
      • Gray: ...I went on to study psychology, I became a Ph.D in psychology... Penn: He got that Ph.D from Columbia Pacific University. An internet DIPLOMA MILL. That was forced to shut down under accusations of fraud. But that doesn't mean DOCTOR Gray doesn't have good tips for men... Edit
      • Penn: [as John Gray comes on screen the first time] Enter THIS a**hole. You know, we've used that intro in half our shows...and it still makes us laugh. Edit
