Got some sh!t to say?

This week, Marko and Steve sit down with Dr. Thomas Whitfield (@drthomaswhitfield) to unpack one of the most talked-about trauma therapies right now: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). 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 trauma to rejection, internalized shame, and the long tail of growing up feeling unsafe to be fully themselves. The conversation demystifies the process—what a session feels like, whether you have to relive painful memories, and why healing doesn’t mean forgetting, but finally being able to move forward without the emotional weight.

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

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 real—what happens when your real partner isn’t exactly a fan? The guys get into the discomfort, jealousy, and side-eyes that can come with having a work spouse, especially when boundaries start to blur and outsiders (or your significant other) think something more is going on.

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 you get too invested.

They get into the psychology behind why breadcrumbing is so hard to walk away from, and debate whether it might actually be worse than ghosting. Plus, they unpack the blurred lines between genuine interest and inconsistent communication, and why so many of us keep responding even when we know better.

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 swiping and overanalyzing. The guys tackle a major sticking point in app dating: the endless messaging phase. When is it time to stop DM’ing and actually meet in person? And why do so many connections fizzle before they ever leave the chat?

Of course, it wouldn’t be Relationsh!t without asking the big question: is any of this actually worth it? Between ghosting, mixed signals, and swipe fatigue, Marko, Steve, and Eduardo weigh the pros and cons of app dating—and whether the potential payoff justifies the emotional rollercoaster.

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

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. From matches that go nowhere to conversations that mysteriously die mid-sentence, the guys unpack the ongoing struggle of trying to keep someone engaged long enough to actually meet in real life.

They question users' intentions for being on the apps, swap frustrations, mixed signals, and the decision to take an app hiatus . But Marko throws a wrench into the whole conversation by asking an important question: Are these behaviors really unique to app dating… or is this real life behavior acted out on an app?

Together, the trio debate whether the apps are the problem—or if they’re just exposing the way people date now.

Marko and Steve are back, baby! After a two-month winter break following the end of Season 12, your favorite hosts are dusting off the microphones and catching up on everything that’s happened while they were away.

In this episode, the guys share what they’ve been up to during the break—how they spent the holidays, what life looked like off-mic, and what it feels like to be back for a brand new season of Relationsh!t. But of course, the world didn’t stop spinning while they were gone … y’all were busy!

Marko and Steve also take a moment to reflect on the surprising and unfortunate celebrity deaths that have already shaken 2026, sharing memories and pop culture moments tied to the stars we’ve lost.

And because two months away from the mic means a LOT of missed tea, the guys dive into the celebrity and pop culture headlines they didn’t get to cover—from award show drama to entertainment news and everything in between. Let’s just say… they have thoughts.

It’s a little catch-up, a little chaos, and a whole lot of Marko and Steve being exactly who you missed.

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

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.

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?
