Ep. 143 – Game Changers: Good For The Soul

Posted on June 5, 2022 by Kelley

The Business braves COVID to have a calm discussion about new revisions to Dungeons & Dragons 5e, GURPS, Cthulhu, and basically every RPG under the sun. We also talk about the new season of Destiny 2, Horizon Forbidden West, ice cream parlors and bad GMing.

Ep. 128 – Mix it Up: Why Having Your Own Friends Is a Good Idea

Posted on August 22, 2021 by Kelley

Paris and The Business are back! They join me to talk about how toxic codependency can be (even among friends) and how you and your partner should have your own friends and interests.

Tables get flipped, Patrons get mentioned, and here are links to things I actually remembered to post this time:

Ep. 108 – The COVID-19 Episodes – Isolation

Posted on May 20, 2020 by Kelley

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!

Ep.104 – Toxic Masculinity: It hurts everyone.

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.

Mating Habits of the Modern Geek is a comedy advice podcast for geeks, nerds, and the socially niche.

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

Posted on November 9, 2017 by Kelley

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

http://traffic.libsyn.com/matinghabitsofthemoderngeek/Ep101_MHMG.mp3

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.97 – Level 2: “Troll the respawn, Jeremy”

Paris and The Business, LLC help me revisit our first Mating Habits episode together – Episode 2!

We change our minds about a couple of things when it comes to where to meet new people that you might want to date.

We also talk Rise of Iron, Longmire, and new podcasts. Tables get flipped over ghost tour guides, people who don’t like anything, and folks who should know how to act before they leave the house.

Check out my new show State of the Geek with Joe Hogan of Geektitude!

Ep.95 – Millennials Can’t Even with Sex? #WTF?

Posted on August 22, 2016 by Kelley

They’re downloading Mating Habits – can’t blame ’em.

http://traffic.libsyn.com/matinghabitsofthemoderngeek/Ep95_MHMG.mp3

Paris and The Business, LLC are back to help me figure out what’s going on with Millennials and why they’re not getting down like they used to in my day.

We also talk at length about the failures of Suicide Squad and the DC Movie Universe as a whole, beach trips, German DJ obsessions, and my willingness to give Voyager another try.

Tables get flipped, tales get told, get into it.

Ep.85 – Highly Sexual Women: The Legend, The Facts, The Stigma.

Posted on March 14, 2016 by Kelley

http://traffic.libsyn.com/matinghabitsofthemoderngeek/Ep85_MHMG.mp3
Paris and The Business, LLC are back to help me talk about how society treats women who are comfortable with their sexuality, how suggesting that women who have sex “as if they’re men” is inherently sexist, and how just because a woman has sex freely with multiple people doesn’t mean she wants to have sex with you – and that’s okay.

Paris conquers the climate world by volunteering at museums and giving scientific talks on mountain tops; The Business listens to every podcast imaginable; and I discuss everything from 10 Cloverfield Lane (Guaranteed: SPOILER FREE!), to my love of British panel shows and Richard Herring.

We each get to choose a superpower for just one day and tables are flipped over people who are rude to waitstaff, porn addictions, and Millennials telling me to “get informed” at their own peril.

Ep.82 – Creating a Welcoming Environment: No One Likes a Gatekeeper.

Posted on February 1, 2016 by Kelley

The only Gatekeeper we want to be around.

http://traffic.libsyn.com/matinghabitsofthemoderngeek/Ep82_MHMG.mp3

Andrew makes it safely into the Mating Habits Studio to help me discuss problematic friends who may be keeping new people from joining your social circle. We go over some tell-tale signs of “Gatekeeping” and how the lack of new people entering your friend groups might have something to do with the unwelcome environment you’ve unknowingly created.

The problem…

…a possible solution.

Andrew puts the “fun” in work function and becomes a new uncle! I’m doing guest spots, discovering new podcasts, and watching X-Files. Our Meetup Group, Trigger Warning: Geeks! is in danger, girl – and I don’t have a good solution.

We did a Periscope thing! Yet another new game, Who’s Pickup Line is it Anyway? is the perfect game for live audience participation, and we actually had some live audience participation! We may be Periscoping again in the future, so download the free app to your smart phone and follow @MatingHabits – we’ll follow you back, I promise 🙂

Tables are flipped over stupid restaurant policies and folks doing good works for the sole purpose of posting about them on social media.
