On this episode of Conversate After Dark, Tay and Marv get into it starting with the icebreaker: the sexual thing you tried once and never needed to do again.

From there the conversation goes deep — arranged marriages and whether you'd trust your parents to pick your spouse, matchmakers vs. dating coaches, the "traditional man" trap on Married at First Sight, solo trips and ownership in marriage, Pinky Cole and Slutty Vegan's "friendly competition," MC Hammer's bankruptcy and what it actually means, family members who keep score, and a "would you or wouldn't you" celebrity crush round with Lorenz Tate, Idris Elba, Mary J. Blige, and Tocarra Jones.

Grown and unfiltered. On this episode of Conversate After Dark, Marv and Tay get into the honest stuff most people will not say out loud. They open with a wild icebreaker, then get into exhibitionist versus voyeur, how trust and comfort unlock real intimacy, and the difference between jealousy and intuition. From there it turns into astrology, overthinking, and why everybody has a tell, before the debate everyone has an opinion on: the work wife and work husband, and whether there is always a hierarchy in relationships.

They close with the fun stuff, celebrities pulling fans on stage and where the line is, a hilarious Tank meet and greet story, celebrity crushes that get a pass, and the ultimate would you or wouldn't you: could you date someone who cannot stand your favorite artist.

Mature audiences only. This episode contains explicit language and adult themes.

On this episode of Conversate After Dark, we get into the stuff people feel but don't always say out loud. We open with doing nice things for yourself, why it's so hard for the dependable one to set a boundary, and the difference between saying no and just backing away from people.

Then it gets fun. We trade our worst date stories: the drunk date who got tossed from a Charlie Wilson show, the night a date pulled over to confront her other man, and the lunch-on-the-beach that turned out to be a married man holding checks hostage. Plus the question everybody has an answer to: would you wait if your person had to do a bid, and what does holding somebody down actually mean?

We also get into crazy-chick red flags, why "good guys finish last" is a choosing problem, and the line between hood and street.

Once trust is broken, can you ever really get it back? Mar B and Tay go deep on rebuilding trust, lying in relationships, what it means to be equally yoked, dating someone without a strong male role model, and whether asking your partner to cut off opposite-sex friends is controlling or just smart.
