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.

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.

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!

Sean Ryan and I reluctantly return from an all-too-short break to talk about some interesting findings about how men and women suffer differently from breakups.

We discuss my recent success as a damn bass pro, Sean’s first Father’s Day, “Injustice” in video games, and I get another insulting message from someone on OKC – must be a day that ends in “Y.”

We play another round of One, True, Three, where I won’t tell you who wins…only that she’s also incredibly good-looking, and tables get flipped over parking lot etiquette and gold diggers plaguing our streets.

Sean Ryan of Alpha Counter joins me in my sick, weakened state for another jam-packed episode of Mating Habits.

This episode, we discuss the act of “Catfishing,” an internet phenomenon that happened to me a couple of weeks ago, and we’re lucky enough to have listener-submitted emails sharing their catfish sagas, and we even snag an interview with our own Paris who comes clean in Paris’s Catfish Confessions – she’s been a bad girl…

We also discuss our recent ventures into film making with Bottom Shelf Films, delve into the Walking Dead Finale for some quick speculations, and I caught a Zeff Cold from my friends at the Die Antwoord concert.

Things are looking up for our hero in this edition of My Fair Andrew – but let’s not jinx it 😉

We flip tables over “Innocents” in the comment sections, and folks who don’t like to have fun, especially on April Fool’s Day.

Trigger Warning: Jokes.

We’re back from Spring Break and Paris and The Business, LLC are here to tutor us through a college-level relationship model sent in to us from listener Mark Hayashi.

We compare our experiences with those featured in Knapp’s Relationship Model, and get into the ways people come together, maintain, and come apart. Hold on, because Dr. Knapp’s theories are “Theo-radical!”

We also talk at length about grad school, Destiny, Starbucks fixing racism, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and the infamous Batgirl variant cover.

Hashbrown: No Filter
Trigger Warning: Dragons
Trigger Warning: Dungeons also.

My Fair Andrew has a disappointing time on OKC (really, it happens live on the recording) but we’re here to learn from the struggle. I also answer questions from podcast listener Siegecall about his OKC profile.

This is bullshit.

This is bullshit.

Tables get flipped over the mistrust of women, people stealing your table flips, why scientists can’t communicate, and time-wasting differential diagnoses.

Story of my LIFE!


http://traffic.libsyn.com/matinghabitsofthemoderngeek/Ep60_MHMG.mp3

Em is punching sharks, caring for moms, and riding motorcycles that are on fire!
Dragon Age: Inquisition Multiplayer is Kelley’s new church, even though she can’t get into Arrow, or Flash, or Agent Carter. Em thinks it’s due to the lack of blood and cannibals.

Em wrote a fanfic about all your favorite Alpha Counter Podcast co-hosts (which include most of your favorite Mating Habits c-hosts. All of these accomplishments before she turns 30…this week! Happy Birthday, Em!

We interview Flash Browning from the blog OkCupid Project Awful where a young professional woman in a big city changes her OKC profile to attract a certain type of guy, and then chronicles each date for our scientific enjoyment!

We get into a big discussion about why ladies act the way they do, and how a lot of times it doesn’t make sense to us either, but Em and I have some theories as to what might actually be going on.

We check in with My Fair Andrew to see how his third assignment went, what he’s up to, and what he has to do before the next episode.

Tables get flipped over excruciatingly long waits for tables at restaurants, and the fact that soon there will be no more Jon Stewart in our Daily Show. 

What happens when two people who love to talk are put on the same podcast? Epic-length show!

Andrew from Two Loose Screws stops by to discuss anything and everything, including Andrew’s Vine fame (Look him up – username: M3JCNV), the horrors of working retail during the holidays and returned mince meat pies, and the country song-like ballad of Grandma’s Tiny Christmas Tree.

I’m officially a member of #PodPals, Hooray! I finish Dragon Age: Inquisition, fail at doing so on Twitch, and finally try Destiny, which is pretty fun.

Hackers are bullshit assholes, both at home and abroad.

We go deep with a discussion about the Doctor Who Christmas Special, The Last Christmas. It’s a Mating Habits tradition.

New Episode Segment: May Fair Andrew

Andrew plays the Audrey Hepburn to my Rex Harrison (go watch some great classic movies, damn it!) in a new segment called: “My Fair Andrew” where we follow his progress as he builds his self-confidence and gets better at meeting and talking to new people. We’ll be checking in on him as the weeks go by to follow his progress through different challenges that should help him get better at socializing with strangers and building confidence. Wish him luck!

Pro-tip: Don’t ask people questions like, “How much does your skin weigh on its own?”

You won’t get advice of this quality anywhere else – guaranteed.

Tables get flipped over strangers arguing with me on OKC, and Andrew likes to keep it vanilla, and that’s just fine. He has enough personality that he doesn’t need your flashy flavors!

This week, MHMG welcomes the lovely and talented Vane Ryan (Sean’s better half) to the show to join Sean and I in discussing the success story of their relationship. You can chart the progression of their entire meeting, dating, moving in, and getting married if you listen to past episodes of the show 🙂 Vane explains how she narrowly avoided kissing Sean on the first date, mixing well with all of Sean’s crazy friends (i.e. Us!) and making life-altering decisions based on the heart – which is often a scary concept.

I complain about hipster beards at the Barcade, Sean wants a trigger warning for Alien: Isolation – which I finally finished!

Marvel plans your movie schedule for the next five years, and it’s exciting!

For our success story, Sean and Vane discuss being brave, embracing other cultures, and just going for the things that you know in your heart are right, and will make you happy.

Tables are flipped over mystery poo pipes in RTP offices, blatant racism in banks, and folks who don’t take your fears seriously.
