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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

They question...

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.

To wrap things up, they tackle t...

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...

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.

Got some sh!t to say?

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...

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...

Got some sh!t to say? In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive into the big leap of moving for love . Is love alone enough to justify packing up your life? What should your future together actually look like once you make the move? And—maybe the most important question—should you get your own place first or move straight in with your partner? The guys unpack the challenges, the risks, and the...

Got some sh!t to say? In this episode, Marko and Steve dive headfirst into the messy, loud-whispered, and oh-so-queer conversation around “body count.” Does your sexual history shape how desirable you are as a partner, or is it just another outdated trope we drag into modern dating?
