Someone Like You

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 physic...

Go-Go Boyzzz

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 hav...

Rejection

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.

Superficial Much?

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...

Dating with Intention

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?

Steve also opens up about his experience being on a dating show and what that experience taught hi...

ENCORE: M@sturbation

ENCORE: Head First

Got some sh!t to say? Marko and Steve talk about diving headfirst into dating — and even marriage — without knowing what lies ahead. Is it bold and freeing, or just reckless?
