Relationsh!t

The Critellis

This gay look at traditional relationships and values aims to add to the queer narrative by highlighting examples of positive same-sex couples, discussing common relationship issues, interviewing real people about their real dating or relationship struggles, identifying newsworthy gay content, and answering listener questions. Hosted by a married, monogamous, gay male couple, the Critelli's (Marko and Tony) use humor to show how gay relationships aren't that different from any other.

    Losing My Religion

    Got some sh!t to say?

    Marko and Steve sit down with Auntea Kerel (@iamkerel) of the Minoritea Report Podcast (@minoriteareport) for an honest conversation about religion, faith, and how both collide with LGBTQ+ relationships. Together, they unpack what it’s like to grow up in the church, internalize its teachings, and then later come to terms with your sexuality—especially when those spaces don’t always make room for queer identities. To wrap things up, Kerel joins the guys to tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.

    Body Count

    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 Does your sexual history shape how desirable you are as a partner, or is it just another outdated trope we drag into modern dating?

    The guys break down why body count still comes up in queer conversations, unpack where the idea of being “pure” even comes from, and ask the big question: does being the so-called “pass-around party bottom” actually disqualify anyone from love, commitment, or marriage? (Spoiler: the girls have thoughts.)

    ENCORE: M@sturbation

    Got some sh!t to say?

    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

    Are You Annoying?

    Got some sh!t to say?

    This week, 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 the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.

    Or@l Sex

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

    Exes

    Got some sh!t to say?

    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, the boundaries, and the real talk behind keeping (or cutting) ties. 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.

    ENCORE: Pet Names

    Got some sh!t to say?

    Marko lost his voice during the Halloween festivities, so the guys couldn’t record a new episode for the week. So, in this ENCORE episode, they 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?

    Size Queens

    Got some sh!t to say?

    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 really about the motion of the ocean — or just having a bigger boat? 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.
