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!

Ep. 108 – The COVID-19 Episodes – Isolation

Geneva and Kevin (formerly Paris and The Business, LLC) join me to discuss what they’ve been up to during the quarantine.

We talk way too long about the Netflix show OBX, give valuable information about Mimics, and discuss the Goofy-Pluto Paradox in Animal Crossing.

I don’t know where Bermuda is, Kevin doesn’t want us to play Monsterhearts 2, and if you don’t start taking vaccines, you may fall victim to my blowdarting skills.

We also explain why looking at another player’s character sheet in Roll20 could be considered by some to be a huge gaming faux pas – you’ve been warned!

In this episode* JJ and Mark of Atomic Empire (Comics, Games, Toys, and more!) join me to discuss owning a thriving game store during the pandemic, the future of movies and television, and what’s in store for The Mandalorian Season 2.  I potentially implicate myself in a social-distancing crime; JJ has surprising interactions with loyal customers; and Mark tries to explain to me what’s so cool about Boba Fett.

*FREE W/ DOWNLOAD:  Despite recording in the same house, JJ sometimes sounds like she’s in a cave and Mark sounds like he’s calling in from the Moon – we are truly living in the future, folks!

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?

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.

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

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!!
