Mating Habits of the Modern GeekEp.101 - We're Back! Oh, what a difference a year makes.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...
