Okay, you’re not all villanous scum…sorry about that.
Last call for all those burning questions you’ve been wanting to ask me and Sean about geeky dating, relationships, recipes, and secret passwords to get you into all the cool room parties at conventions.
We’ve got a good number of questions so far, but I wanted to give everyone until Tuesday, April 8th to get them to us.
Leave them in the comments, or email them to moderngeekcast@gmail.com
We’re still collecting questions for Episode 41’s Ask Us Anything edition of the podcast. These questions can be about dating and relationships, general information/opinions about geeky things, or just general queries.
Keep sending them in – Sean and I will have a lot of time to fill 🙂
“I’m jealous…my earrings would be so much happier with that dress” *snif*
Paris and The Business are back! We wade through some of the things that might ruin your relationship, or things that might be holding you back from finding a relationship of your own.
We cover wide-ranging topics from the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle trailer to Puzzles and Dragons; and Attack on Titan to dishwasher meth. Paris spells out her plans to become a YouTube sensation (which gets edited out for patent reasons) and defends her obvious and blatant racism.
Tables are flipped over Facebook quizzes, Weather-wrongs, and people trying too hard to be different.
Also, Pro-Tip: Bud Lite Straw-Ber-Rita…NOT EVEN ONCE!
I bet an equal playing field never hurt the chemistry between these two!
This week, Michael and I explore sexual dimorphism and how our differences make us more attractive to one another. In doing so, I work out some of my own “Alpha Male” shit from before; we talk about the benefits and downfalls of “peer relationships” versus traditional marriages, and why the sex you’re having may not be as good or as often as you’d like.
Michael christens my new indy rock band. “Herbs Around the Edges!”
My new friend, “Julie,” might be sending me OKC messages from the lost Malaysia Airlines Flight 370! Or it’s just spam. Also, I lose a fight with a bookshelf.
We give you all the details on the now-famous Duke University Porn Star, and flip tables over the co-opting of certain words by certain minority groups, and parties with no snacks – both of these are equally important topics.

Come inside my little castle!
Hello Sexy Goldfish!
William gets deep about his cosplay, we discuss a new way to figure out which pictures are working for you on OKC, and I bribe friends with beer and pizza to come to my house and build stuff.
Thankfully, William followed a link called “How Understanding Goldfish Can Get You Laid,” and discovered one of the absolute worst examples of how marketing and assholery can take advantage of those of us marooned on Lonely Geek Island. They’re lying to you when they tell you there’s something wrong with you – I promise.
This sort of marketing preys on guys with low self-esteem, and reinforces the resentment against women that is prevalent in our society (see Cracked.com link below). It’s not going to get you what you ultimately want, which is love and acceptance.
We flip tables over the misunderstood high-fashion magazine and the photoshop found therein, and the tragedy of Irrational Games closing shop – also, WTF, Sochi?
Propinquity!

Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer
Alpha Counter’s Sean Ryan braves “Snowmaggedon” to join me for this episode where we record against the odds and before the power goes out. We’re national heroes, really.
We discuss surviving being single – especially during this romantic time of year, reveal our ignorance about Americanized Mexican Holidays, and discuss some of the overlooked benefits to being single.
There’s a new segment called, “You Ain’t Gonna Believe This Shit – the Kelley Hightower Story,” where I discuss the weird shit that happens to me because of reasons – often it’ll be about dating.
We discuss the dangers of going too far with virtual relationships, I reveal my embarrassing affair with an AppleCareBot, and when the tables get flipped this episode, they’re all sports-related.
So, pull your drowning pony out of that sinking Swamp of Sadness, and ride off into this Neverending Story of dating!*
*See what I did there? You’re welcome.

William and I get detailed when we explain the difference between showing interest and being over-eager after that first date. Ignore all the rules and bad messages from movies like Swingers and learn how to make sure that special someone knows that you’re interested, without seeming desperate.
I give big props to Wicked Radio Network for their support and affiliation, and we get a timeslot on Radio FUBAR!
There’s talk of the final episode of Sherlock, William shares his adventures at Ichibancon 2014, and I reveal another terrible OKC message in this episode’s installment of Dating Horror Story: Online.
Tables are flipped over the reaction to NC’s new Amazon.com sales tax, and I rage over the misunderstood Alpha Male and why you might be one and just not know it.
We’ll be back on Feb 17th with new episodes chock full of helpful advice, dating blunders, and geek rage over things that don’t actually matter.

Kicking off 2014, Paris and The Business, LLC, help me dig our way out from under the Polar Vortex to wish you all a very Happy New Year!
Sharing between us 2 colds, not enough sleep, and some University-Issued Sudafed, we spend the first hour and a half of this epic podcast discussing Beyond: Two Souls, eating the Peacekeeper Guards in Catching Fire, saying a tearful goodbye to Doctor Who and a squee-filled hello to Sherlock, Season 3.
I issue a heart-felt apology to the Brony Community, and finally understand why friendship really is magic, and Kevin gives his own online dating tips for all the geeky ladies out there, and informs me that “Cat hair is lonely-people glitter. I may have cried a little.
At time marker 1:30, we finally get into the main topic about tackling the big issues in a relationship. When’s the right time to discuss moving in together, marriage, introducing kinks, religion – you know, the awkward conversations where timing is half the battle.
Tables are flipped in regards to the weather, the people who get crazy about said weather, and the people who get crazy about the people who get crazy about it. Also, why you can’t use tornados for ratings.
