Ep. 110 – The COVID-19 Episodes – Revolution

Posted on June 2, 2020 by Kelley

Joe Hogan from the Geektitude and State of the Geek podcasts joins me on this solemn episode of Mating Habits of the Modern Geek. In light of all the terrible things happening in our country (and the world) at the moment, Joe and I stay in our lane and voice our support for the protests and the Black Lives Matter Movement, and then go on to chat about some lighthearted stuff like streaming shows Never Have I Ever and Upload; table-top games like the Kickstarter-only Hel and To Hunt a Killer; and a couple of true-crime podcasts thrown in for good measure.

Here are some links to resources and information about the protests, how you can help, and some podcasts by people of color to talk more about the subject in a way that Joe and I cannot – stay safe out there!

Kelley and Andrew are here to occupy an hour of your COVID-19 quarantine with a new episode of Mating Habits. There’s no dating advice in this episode, and you can keep your comments about there not being advice in past episodes to yourself, please! We’re all out here just doing the best we can and we don’t need your sass. 😉

Andrew joins me to give us an update on his My Fair Andrew Journey where we get a play-by-play look into his recent dating endeavors.

We chat about the challenges of hiking, getting Lost in Space, and finding A Quiet Place to “Mews” about some Unfortunate Events (see what I did there?).

Tables get flipped, you know, the usual.

Shafts, Rifts, Pipcorn, and Hamster Anime. This plus a rambling discussion on Toxic Masculinity – what more could you ask for?

Paris, The Business, LLC, and I chat about stuff then flip all the tables, as per usual.

Andrew comes in clutch and helps me record an episode at the last minute about living your best life, not just to appear more interesting to others, but to make your life more fulfilling for you.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN HAPPINESS.

We also talk about Black Panther, Destiny, my new obsession with Trailer Park Boys, Pokemon Go, Book Bingo, and a bunch of other stuff.

There are new cats, lonely chickens, and we flip tables over shitty self-published Pick Up Artist dicks, and assholes who talk during complicated Pokemon Go Raids.

Show Links!

What the actual fuck?!

Ep.102 – Do Online-Only Interactions Sabotage the Dating Experience?

Posted on January 15, 2018 by Kelley

Get Episode 102 here!

Roger is back to talk about the New Year’s Eves of our past, his exciting adventures into the world of board game development, and we discuss why some people think it’s so damn cool to hate holidays.

We give a small fan review of The Last Jedi (spoilers abound), The Punisher, and we talk about our love for The Crown.

Also, the Black Mirror episode the USS Callister bothered me so much I couldn’t sleep!

Are online-only interactions killing the excitement and romance of a potential new
date? Do we give ourselves too much of an opportunity to mess things up because we don’t have to follow normal time constraints? Are we missing out on the other biological signals and cues because we’re not occupying the same physical space? Are we being too logical in the absence of the magic of attraction? I don’t know; do you? I’m genuinely asking.

Tables are flipped over too many promotional emails and filthy articles with such foul language!

Ep.101 – We’re Back! Oh, what a difference a year makes.

If only I had more logos to put on this background!

It’s been a whole year since we Mating Habit-ed, but never fear! The show is basically the same as before: We ramble on about geeky things and useless facts well into the first hour, and casually discuss random dating topics eventually. I even fix The Business, LLC’s mic 50 minutes into the recording, so what better way to assure you that we’re still the same lovable, ASMR-style whispering goofballs that you remember from years past!

The show is going to go monthly, and possibly change format multiple times before I make up my mind about how I’d like it to go – much like my real-life dating habits – so please bear with.

Happy to be back with you again, and excited about the future!!

Ep.100 – The World’s End: No really, it’s the fucking apocalypse.

This is it! Episode 100 – the final regularly scheduled episode of Mating Habits of the Modern Geek.

It’s a full house when Em, Andrew Bartlett, Paris, The Business, LLC and Sean Ryan join me to give the show a proper send off. It’s loud, chaotic, the cold open is too long, and as per usual, we barely mention dating – you know, a pretty standard show.

We do all flip a collective table over the probable end of Western Civilization.

As always, we owe everything to the folks who subscribe and listen to the show.

It has been an absolute pleasure, and hope to see you over on State of the Geek, We Don’t STOP for Chests, Colin!, or any of the other half dozen shows I’ll be on.

Please stay subscribed to make sure you don’t miss out on new sporadic Mating Habits Episodes that will be popping up from time to time.

Thank you – Kelley

Ep.99 – Finishing Moves: Score that second date!

Posted on November 4, 2016 by Kelley

It’s our penultimate episode! Sean Ryan takes a break from daddy detail to chat with me about getting that second date.

We spoil the shit out of Walking Dead, talk about Rise of the Tomb Raider, Destiny’s Festival of the Lost, and Sean archives the entirety of AlphaCounter.com for prosperity.

Tables are flipped and the begging begins in earnest for submissions for the last episode of Mating Habits, where all the hosts will be on hand to answer your questions, give your shoutouts, and bid farewell.

Em survives Hurricane Matthew and joins me for our next revisit of episodes 3 and 4 from many moons ago. We talk about how much it sucks to get up the courage to ask someone out on a date, and how bad it feels when they say no.

But on a lighter note, we discuss anime, scary shows on the TV, and all the other podcasts I’m in. We flip tables over terrible Trump-positive memes and price gouging during a natural disaster.
