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?

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 re...

With humor and insight, they share personal stories and listener anecdotes, ultim...
