November 09, 2017 14:47 - 2 hours - 117 MB

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 for...

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 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.

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.

June 22, 2015 13:32 - 1 hour - 96 MB

Sean Ryan of Alpha Counter joins me to continue what might have been one of the best conversations we ever had after two drinks...then we had a third drink and totally forgot what we were talking about.  This episode is the result of that decision.  I watched the EA portion of E3 and share my disapointments and excitements.  I'm in an abusive relationship with Ubisoft and I'm going back to them for Assassin's Creed: Victory.  You just don't understand Ubisoft like I do - and in their defens...
