Head First
18/06/2025 Duración: 01h17minGot some sh!t to say?Marko and Steve talk about diving headfirst into dating — and even marriage — without knowing what lies ahead. Is it bold and freeing, or just reckless? They explore the thrill (and risk) of saying "yes" to love without all the facts. Then, they’re joined by special guest Stefano Reginato Rivelli (@chechoreginato) of Josh and Stefano on Instagram and TikTok (@joshandstefano), who went viral for marrying a stranger on social media. He gives the guys behind-the-scenes insight into what it was really like to say "I do" before ever saying "hello." Would Marko and Steve ever do the same?

23/04/2025 Duración: 01h27minGot some sh!t to say?In this episode, Marko and Steve dive into the nuanced ways that external influences—like friends, family, societal norms, and even aspects of queer culture—can shape who we date and how we approach relationships.

Moving at Different Speeds
16/04/2025 Duración: 01h36minGot some sh!t to say?In this heartfelt and candid conversation, Marko and Steve dive deep into the emotional terrain of relationships where one person is moving faster than the other—whether that means falling in love quicker, being ready for commitment sooner, or simply wanting more clarity and definition early on.

Ultimately, the episode is a reflective take on how relationships can falter not from lack of care, but from a difference in timing—and how that can be just as painful and real as any other kind of ending.-Articles:Marriage.com | 6 Stages in Your Gay RelationshipSupport the showSh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.

Unrealistic Expectations
09/04/2025 Duración: 01h33minGot some sh!t to say?In this real and refreshingly honest episode, Marko and Steve get into the heart of why so many relationships struggle: unrealistic expectations and the lack of clear, consistent communication.

Then they dive into the fix: communication. Not just the deep, dramatic talks, but the everyday stuff — the little check-ins, the honest “I feel” moments, and the courage to say what you actually need without playing games.
