What do building a deep bond with your loving partner of 50 years, establishing boundaries before (or during!) a one night stand, or simply ordering a cup of coffee on the go all have in common? Communication! Probably THE biggest and most important tool we have in life. The skill we use to draw personal lines in the sand, and write the rules we adhere to, and expect others to respect. Easier said than done. Why? Well Problemistas, some people are just full of shit. This week, Jeff and Alex have their Shit-dar at the ready, and help some listeners call BS.
