Got some sh!t to say?

The guys get into creative date-night ideas, how to build a genuine connection beyond the usual small talk, and why putting effort into dating shouldn't stop just because you've landed a boyfriend. From keeping the spark alive in a long-term relationship to avoiding the dreaded routine of takeout, Netflix, and scrolling on your phones, Marko and Steve discuss what it really takes to keep romance, intimacy, and excitement going. 

Whether you're single and navigating the dating circus or partnered up and in need of a little romantic CPR, this episode is your reminder that dating takes effort—and sometimes, you just need to put the damn phone down and look at the person across from you.

To wrap things up, the guys  tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.

Got some sh!t to say?

Is it love, lust, or are you just really into yourself? 😂 This week, Marko and Steve are talking about a phenomenon we've all seen in the gay community: men dating men who look almost identical to them. Same beard, same body, same haircut… at this point, are you dating your type or your own damn twin?

But is it really that deep? Is it simply a matter of attraction and personal preference, or does it say something bigger about gay dating culture, our obsession with physical appearance, and the pressure to fit a certain mold? When does having a type become narrow-minded, limiting, or even discriminatory? And are we allowed to question those preferences, or should we just mind our business and let people love who they love? The guys get into it all!

Thought we covered everything there is to say about dating with intention? Well, not so fast. Marko and Steve are revisiting the topic, and this time they're bringing in Dr. Matthew Brinkley (@dr.brinkley) to help unpack the deeper layers of what it really means to date intentionally, communicate what you want, and make sure you and the person you're dating are actually on the same page.

Because dating with intention isn't about having your entire romantic future mapped out. It's about knowing yourself, being honest with other people, and understanding that you can't build something meaningful with someone if you're not even agreeing on what you're building.

To wrap things up, the guys are joined by Dr. Matthew Brinkley to tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.

For a lot of gay men, gogo dancers are just… part of the scenery. They're at the bars, the clubs, Pride parties, circuit events—and we watch, we flirt, we tip, and sometimes we do a whole lot more. But when you're in a relationship, does that change the rules? And if you're single and LOVE a gogo boy, does that make you a pervert—or just a gay man with eyes?

Marko and Steve get into the complicated relationship between gay culture, sex, attraction, and nightlife. Why have we normalized such a sex-forward part of the gay experience? Is it sexual liberation, harmless fun, or have we become so accustomed to sexualizing everything that we don't even question it anymore?

Nobody likes being rejected. Whether it’s getting ghosted after what you thought was a great date, being told “you’re just not my type,” getting turned down for sex, or realizing the person you really like just doesn’t feel the same way — rejection can hit your ego, your confidence, and sometimes your entire sense of self.

In this episode, Marko and Steve get into the complicated world of giving and receiving rejection, especially within gay dating. How do you tell someone you’re just not interested without being cruel? Is ghosting ever acceptable? How honest should you be about why you don't want to date someone? And when does “letting someone down gently” actually become giving someone false hope? The guys talk about it all!

Let’s be honest… looks matter. We can all say we’re looking for someone who’s funny, kind, emotionally available, and has a good heart—but somebody still has to make you want to swipe right or approach them. Before getting fully  into this week’s topic, the guys review all the looks from this week’s Emmy’s. They use a Vanity Fair article to rate and review their faves and flops.

Marko and Steve get into the complicated world of superficiality in dating—what it means, when it’s perfectly reasonable, and when it might be keeping us from finding something real.

Plus, the guys look at whether dating outside your usual “type” can actually open you up to something you didn't know you were looking for.

What does it actually mean to date with intention? Do you need to know exactly what you want before you start dating, or is “let’s just see where it goes” a perfectly reasonable approach? Marko and Steve get into the messy middle of dating, expectations, communication, and the very real consequences of two people thinking they're having two completely different experiences.

Steve also opens up about his experience being on a dating show and what that experience taught him about dating, expectations, and being intentional about what you want from another person. Because when you're literally dating with an audience watching, you might learn a few things about yourself that you weren't expecting.

After a much-needed summer break, Marko and Steve are back for Season 14 of the Relationsh!t Podcast — and, apparently, the world decided not to wait for them to return before getting messy.

For the first episode of the new season, the guys aren't coming in with a carefully planned topic or a guest. They're just sitting down to catch up. Because after being away for the summer, there’s a LOT to talk about.

The guys take a moment to reflect on the people we've lost and the deaths that have saddened us over the break, before turning their attention to some of the absolute nonsense happening in Washington, D.C. From the latest chaos coming out of the White House to the never-ending political circus, the guys unpack what has been happening while they've been gone.

In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive into the quirky world of relationship pet names, debating whether they're adorably affectionate or cringingly cliché. From "snuggle muffin" to "baby bear," they explore the emotional reactions these nicknames provoke—both positive and negative. 

The duo also examines whether using pet names actually deepens emotional intimacy or creates a barrier of artificial closeness. With humor and insight, they share personal stories and listener anecdotes, ultimately asking: Do pet names bring couples closer or just make others gag?

In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive into the often-taboo topic of masturbation within committed relationships. They explore how self-pleasure can be a healthy, personal form of sexual expression, even when one has an available and willing partner. 

The conversation navigates questions like: Should your partner fulfill all your sexual needs? Or is it reasonable—and even beneficial—for individuals to maintain a solo sexual practice? They address common misconceptions, emotional impacts, and how open communication plays a key role in balancing intimacy with personal autonomy. 

To wrap things up, they tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.

Marko and Steve dive into the complex world of cheating and explore how different people—and relationships—define it, in this ENCORE episode. Is following someone on social media a betrayal? What about innocent (or not-so-innocent) flirting at the bar? And where does kissing fall on the cheating spectrum? The guys unpack it all, sharing personal insights and challenging listeners to reflect on their own boundaries, expectations, and definitions of fidelity. 

There are no Listener Sh!tuations this week, but continue to send them for next season's episodes!
