Dating is a Drag 01.07.2026

Got some sh!t to say? To close out Pride Month and the 13th season of Relationsh!t, this week Marko and Steve are joined by the chaos demon herself, drag performer Skye Walker ( @itsskyewalker ), for an honest, hilarious, and heartfelt conversation about dating, drag, and self-worth.

Stay Ready 24.06.2026

Got some sh!t to say? Pride Month is here, and for many gay men that means parades, parties, travel, hookups, and plenty of opportunities for some unforgettable memories. But while everyone is focused on what they're wearing (or not wearing), Marko and Steve are asking a different question: Are you physically ready for all the sex shenanigans that Pride Week can bring? This week, the guys sit...

Gay While Black 17.06.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week, Marko and Steve are joined by Jerrell Owens-Robinson to tackle a topic that doesn't get enough honest conversation in queer spaces: what it's like being Black in predominantly white gay spaces, and how race can shape dating, relationships, friendships, and a sense of belonging. Drawing from their own experiences and observations, the guys discuss everythi...

Love Me, Love My Interests 10.06.2026

Got some sh!t to say? Do couples need to share the same interests to have a successful relationship? In this episode of the Relationsh!t Podcast, Marko and Steve, joined by retired podcast host Tony Critelli ( @thecritellis ), tackle the reality that even the strongest couples won't agree on everything. From hobbies and entertainment to travel preferences and social activities, they discuss h...

No Fats, No Fems 03.06.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week on Relationsh!t, Marko and Steve dive into one of the most uncomfortable—and important—conversations happening in LGBTQ+ spaces today: the prejudice, judgment, and exclusion that can exist within our own community. Inspired by the release of No Fats, No Fems by Max Hovey ( @max_hovey ), the guys sit with Max to unpack the meaning behind one of the most infamous phra...

Cuddle Bug 27.05.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week, Marko and Steve are getting cuddly as they dive into the surprisingly important role cuddling plays in our dating lives and relationships. From casual hookups to long-term partnerships, physical affection can communicate comfort, safety, attraction, and connection in ways words often can't. The guys discuss why cuddling matters so much to our emotional and phy...

Just Checking In pt. 2 20.05.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week on Relationsh!t , Marko and Steve are skipping the research, ditching the structured topic, and just sitting down for a real conversation. No deep dives. No hot takes. No agenda. Just two friends checking in with each other about life as it’s happening right now. From dating and relationships to stress, routines, burnout, the state of the world, and the weird emotio...

Lavender Marriages 13.05.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week, Marko and Steve dive into the fascinating and often misunderstood world of lavender marriages — relationships historically formed to conceal someone’s sexuality in order to protect careers, reputations, family expectations, or personal safety. From Old Hollywood to everyday life decades ago, lavender marriages were often less about romance and more about survival i...

Please and Thank You's 06.05.2026

Got some sh!t to say? Somewhere between the first date and settling into a routine, “please” and “thank you” tend to fall off. This week, Marko and Steve dig into the quiet shift from intentional politeness to comfortable carelessness—and whether that shift is harmless… or actually harmful. They unpack why basic manners aren’t just surface-level niceties, but signals of respect, appreciation, and...

Switching Up Positions 29.04.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week, Marko and Steve are getting real about the quiet pressure many people feel in the bedroom—specifically, the idea that “good sex” means constantly switching things up. Blame it on porn, hookup culture, or just plain insecurity, but somewhere along the line, a lot of us started believing we’re supposed to cycle through multiple positions during any session. But is th...

Value-based Dating 22.04.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week, Marko and Steve are diving into the real foundation of modern relationships: values. Because let’s be honest—chemistry might get you through the first few dates, but alignment is what determines whether something actually lasts. The guys unpack what value-based dating really means and why it’s becoming non-negotiable for so many people. From political beliefs to so...

EMDR Therapy 15.04.2026

Got some sh!t to say?

Dr. Whitfield breaks down what EMDR actually is, how it works in real time, and why it’s especially impactful for LGBTQ+ patients navigating everything from identity-based...

Work Spouses 08.04.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week, Marko and Steve dive into the world of work spouses—the coworker you vent to, laugh with, and probably talk to more than your actual partner during the day. They break down why these relationships feel so essential at work, and why they can make even the worst jobs bearable… but also question when that closeness starts to look a little too close. Because let’s be r...

Breadcrumbing 01.04.2026

Got some sh!t to say? In this episode, Marko and Steve dive into one of the most frustrating modern dating behaviors: breadcrumbing. You know the type—just enough attention to keep you interested, but never enough to actually go anywhere. The guys break down what breadcrumbing really looks like in action, why people do it (and yes, they call themselves out too), and how to spot the signs before yo...

The Swipe Life pt. 2 25.03.2026

Got some sh!t to say? Part two is here, and Marko and Steve are back with Eduardo to continue unpacking the occasionally hopeful world of dating apps.  This week, the trio dives deeper into the psychology of swiping —why we make snap decisions in milliseconds, what we’re really looking for (or avoiding), and how the apps might be shaping our standards more than we realize.  But it’s not all just s...

The Swipe Life pt. 1 18.03.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week, Marko and Steve are joined by their bestie Eduardo to dive headfirst into the wild world of dating on the apps: the good, the bad, and the deeply confusing.

They question...

ENCORE: Are You Annoying? 04.03.2026

Got some sh!t to say? In this week’s ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive into a painfully universal truth: we’re all annoying to someone. The guys ask the question none of us really want to answer — “Are you annoying?” — and break down the everyday habits, quirks, and patterns that might be driving your partner (or that new situationship) a little bit up the wall. To wrap things up, they tackle t...

ENCORE: Or@l Sex 25.02.2026

Got some sh!t to say? This week, Marko and Steve dive mouth-first (yes, we said it) into a topic that’s as fun as it is foundational: the importance of or@l sex in your relationship or situationship. In the ENCORE episode, they unpack why good oral chemistry can make or break intimacy, how to communicate what you like, and why enthusiasm matters just as much as technique. To wrap things up, they t...

ENCORE: Exes 18.02.2026

Got some sh!t to say? In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive into the tricky world of exes — and how they can impact your current relationship. Should you stay in touch with an ex, or is that automatically disrespectful? Does your new partner get a say in whether you keep that connection? And what about when it’s literally impossible to avoid an ex altogether? The guys unpack the gray areas,...

ENCORE: Making Out 11.02.2026

Got some sh!t to say? In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive into the art of making out — why kissing can make or break a connection, and just how much a good (or bad) makeout session can tell you. They’re joined by their best friend and honorary third co-host, Eduardo ( @val_u_ed ), to swap stories, share opinions, and figure out what makes a kiss work . Can you really tell if there’s chemi...

ENCORE: Size Queens 04.02.2026

Got some sh!t to say? In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve are tackling one of gay culture’s longest-standing debates — literally. This week, it’s all about penis size and the ever-fascinating world of size queens. Why are we so obsessed with measurements, and does it actually matter when the lights go out? The guys go deep (pun intended) asking the hard questions: length or girth? And is it re...

ENCORE: S3xuality 28.01.2026
