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! 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. - Articles: National Library of Medicine | Preference for Self-Resembling Male Faces in Gay Men in ChinaSupport the show Sh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That’s (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com, or email us at [email protected].

Got some sh!t to say? 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.

Got some sh!t to say? 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?

Got some sh!t to say? 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!

Got some sh!t to say? 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.

Got some sh!t to say? 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.

Got some sh!t to say? 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.

Got some sh!t to say? This week, Marko and Steve are diving into the real foundation of modern relationships: values. Because let’s be honest—chemistry might get you through the first few dates, but alignment is what determines whether something actually lasts. The guys unpack what value-based dating really means and why it’s becoming non-negotiable for so many people. From political beliefs to social awareness, they explore how shared values shape not just attraction—but long-term compatibility, communication, and emotional safety. Marko and Steve also get into the nuance: Can relationships survive fundamental differences in beliefs, or does that create cracks that eventually turn into dealbreakers? 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. - Articles: The Guardian | Swiping Right review – punchy questions about dating across the political divideSupport the show Sh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That’s (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com, or email us at [email protected].

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.

Got some sh!t to say? 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.

Got some sh!t to say? 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. To wrap things up, Marko and Steve tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience. - Articles: Psychology Today | Breadcrumbing Help our friends at Fresco’s Grand Cantina: Follow them on Instagram: @frescosgrandcantinaDonate on GoFundMe: Help Keep Our Inclusive Astoria Restaurant OpenVisit them:https://welovefrescos.com/Support the show Sh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That’s (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com, or email us at [email protected].

Got some sh!t to say? 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. - Articles: The Hollywood Reporter | Oscars: Full List of WinnersVogue.com | See Every Look From the 2026 Oscars Red CarpetPinkNews | One Battle After Another editor kisses partner after Oscars win in viral clipSupport the show Sh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That’s (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com, or email us at [email protected].

Got some sh!t to say? 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. - Articles: Queerty | New study reveals the US states with the biggest d*cksSupport the show Sh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That’s (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com, or email us at [email protected].

Got some sh!t to say? 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.
