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.

<p>They join us to help discuss ways to keep good geeky relationships strong so that can last; something everyone except me seems to excel at :)</p>
<p>Sean suggests that you look for reasons to high-five each other, finishes Assassin's Creed Syndicate, oh, and announces that HE'S GOING TO BE A FATHER!</p>
<p>I talk about The VVitch, my feels about 10 Cloverfield Lane, and I officially announce Table-Flip Tuesdays with Andrew "M3JCNV" Bartlett, a bi-weekly addition to the blog.</p>
<p>Sean and I play a magical ame of "Would You Rather," where we disagree... and I can't remember that my favorite Dane is from Denmark - sorry Mads.</p>
<p>Tables get flipped over "Walking Billboards" and whether or not The Americas are actually two continents. By Sean's estimation, California is it's own continent, so you're not going to want to miss this!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 :)</p>
<p>Tables are flipped over stupid restaurant policies and folks doing good works for the sole purpose of posting about them on social media.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>*WARNING #1: The sound quality of this recording is ROUGH. Paris's mic is malfunctioning (or off), I'm having a 2-hour long asthma attack, and I didn't check it like I should have. I apologize for the quality, and offer this solution: Imagine that I am sitting really close to you while we're listening to Paris and The Business, LLC over speakerphone...only you don't get to contribute to the conversation because they don't know you're there. If you have a good imagination, you can get through this one!</p>
<p>*Warning #2: We talk about Star Wars: The Force Awakens a lot. If you don't want to be spoiled, please don't listen until after you've seen it.</p>
<p>2015 is almost over, and Paris and The Business join me to say goodbye to an eventful year, talk about Star Wars, The Hateful Eight, brag about our sparrow racing talents in Destiny, and give thanks that Paris is done with classes.</p>
<p>We provide some First-Date Triage for when things go horribly wrong on a first date, and a listener shares a first-date experience with us on which we give some perspective.</p>
<p>We review the major things that happened to us over the year, and flip tables over the inability to let go and the inability to spell a name correctly.</p>
<p>Have a safe and Happy New Year, everyone!</p>

<p>Tables are flipped, as per usual, over cynicism and Apple iMusic functionality, and the racket that is Hulu Plus.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Prepare for our triumphant return with an exciting, interview-packed, super-sized episode of Mating Habits!</p>
<p>Sean Ryan and I discuss the ins and outs (pun intended) of the adult entertainment industry and how it relates to those of us in the geek community. Some of the things we discuss may be illegal or otherwise not allowed where you live, so take everything we say with a grain of salt - we are not suggesting anyone listening to this show engaging in any illegal acts, nor are we suggesting actually following any of the suggestions we do give. We're not actual life coaches :)</p>
<p>I score the interview of the century with everyone's favorite purveyor of all things Japanese, Peter Payne of JList! Peter teaches me about the Japanese attitude of "Shō ga nai," where they've given up on trying to change what people want to do in the privacy of their own homes, and simply say, "It cannot be helped." It's a wonderful philosophy.</p>
<p>While you're listening to the interview, please check out JList and all the things (not just the adult stuff) that you can find to satisfy your Japanese cravings:<br />https://jlist.com<br />And check out Peter Payne's blog about Japanese culture and more at:<br />https://jlist.com/blog</p>
<p>Sean and I also gab about our latest video game obsessions with Transformers: Devastation and Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, how much fun the Supergirl pilot was, and we relive the epic night that was Sean and Vane's Spooky Birthday Party.</p>
<p>Tables get flipped over Campbell's Soup potentially ruining Star Wars, and how the only thing you should ever flip are pancakes, scripts, and tables - never teenagers in their desks at school.</p>

My stories include an in-date level-up and being held hostage at a farmer's market - and strange dating customs from around the world.</p>
<p>The universe hates Sean's new car - a lot, and he has Last of Us frustrations...still. We can't get drunk, even at my birthday party; and Wil Wheaton ruins EVERYTHING! Destiny: The Taken King has come out, so basically, my life is suddenly too busy to get a podcast out on time.</p>
<p>Tables get flipped over literal "Party Poopers," and how no one on Last of Us has any muscle memory after years of surviving in the clicker-filled post apocalypse.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Join Andrew and I (and his new whiney-voiced character which is basically what it sounds like in my head 24/7) as we tackle another relationship-ish topic:  Sex Ed.</p>
<p>Andrew's Uncle Duties will soon double, and now that Target has blended the genders in their toy departments, he's basically screwed.  His recent job interview has him in a suit and puts him in view of an elderly woman - and she likes what she sees.</p>
<p>I talk at length about the Ashley Maddison hack that has me rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off at hypocrites like Josh Duggar and Sam Rader, and what a Bro-deo that website must have been.</p>
<p>I also have an adorable boyfriend now.  He's the best.  It's no big deal.  *squeeeee* </p>
<p>Sex Education in the US is all over the damn place.  Andrew and I are from the same decade and the same area, and had vastly different public school sex education experiences.  We discuss what subjects worked and didn't work for us as we share how we learned about the birds and the bees.</p>
<p>Tables get flipped when Andrew wishes folks would just mind their own damn business, and I just want you to stop yelling at me so I can figure out how to help you.</p>

<p>The Business almost ruins a budding friendship by drunk live tweeting Justice League episodes, and tries to salvage things by inviting his new friend on a beat 'em up side scroller.  This is why we can't have nice things.</p>
<p>Sean gets sunburned at a crowded bdsm-themed bungalow at the beach and meets a beautiful man named Ram Gabriel.</p>
<p>While they were sunning and funning at the beach, I stayed home and had a yard sale - don't be too jealous.  And my copies of Exploding Kittens finally got here!!</p>
<p>We tackle the idea of enthusiastic and affirmative consent:  What is it?  Why do we need it?  What's with the double standard?  What does it say about you, as a person, if the concept of affirmative consent is unacceptable to you? (HINT:  If it bothers you too much, you might be part of the problem.)</p>
<p>We flip new tables about bad communicators, the impregnable login guards at Steam, and how Trigger Warnings have gotten out of damn hand.</p>

While they were sunning and funning at the beach, I stayed home and had a yard sale - don't be too jealous.  And my copies of Exploding Kittens finally got here!! We tackle the idea of enthusiastic and affirmative consent:  What is it?  Why do we need it?  What's with the double standard?  What does it say about you, as a person, if the concept of affirmative consent is unacceptable to you? (HINT:  If it bothers you too much, you might be part of the problem.) We flip new tables about bad communicators, the impregnable login guards at Steam, and how Trigger Warnings have gotten out of damn hand.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>We made it to Episode 70!  It's our 3rd anniversary, and 70 episodes later we're still going strong.</p>
<p>We ramble on about Batman: Arkham Knight, my haunted second bedroom, and my dead grandma's new Twitter account.  Paris and The Business, LLC talk about their wedding and show unmarried listeners what they have to look forward to when they finally find their true loves.</p>
<p>The Business, LLC thinks kids who've lost their hair due to chemotherapy are just Airbenders. and he has concerns about the recently bankrupt 50 Cent.  Paris has got all the latest Reddit news and shares her concerns, and we come up with a new teen magazine for Star Wars nerds:  PalpaTEEN!</p>
<p>For the main topic, we focus specifically on what's been happening in my dating life over the past month and why guys who I'm chatting with seem so aloof and uninterested after the initial online connection.  The Business shares some interesting insights as to what might actually be happening, Paris is concerned with why it's always up to the girl to steer the conversation, and I give some advice to guys in the dating world who are striking out and don't know why -- is it because you're doing the things we're talking about?</p>
<p>Tables are flipped over smug guys I went out with once or twice two years ago who think I owe them sexting, and Paris is furious about internet trolls who just don't get it.</p>
<p>Were taking a small summer break and will return with Episode 71 in three weeks.  In the meantime, check out what's shaking over at Alpha Counter, any of the #PodPals podcasts, and please listen to the first episode of Room 173 with M3JCNV - My Fair Andrew's new solo show!</p>
