IN LOVE... with Michael Rosenbaum & Chris Sullivan

Shan Boodram, sex educator, sexologist, and author of The Game of Desire, joins us this week and drops knowledge on how to successfully navigate a healthy sexual relationship. We discuss the impact of modern technology on this generation’s view of sex... plus, how people can avoid letting the addiction of stimulation blind them from the reality of a disastrous relationship. Listen as Shan breaks down the 5 secrets to dating with dominance, her take on “‘twinkie relationships,’ and exactly what ‘vabbing’ is.

Elan Gale (The Bachelor) & Molly Quinn (Castle) join us this week to share their perspective on being open and honest in a relationship with the things that the majority of people nowadays avoid. They discuss how they’ve been able to sustain a successful relationship while not avoiding the bad things in life like sadness or self doubt, but rather, addressing these things head-on to help remove the stigma and be able to deal with them. We also get into how the two of them met, how they’re able to handle their differences in age, and what’s it like navigating their emotions in different ways both proactively vs. reactively.

Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn (Tigerbelly) join us this week to talk about all the ups and downs of their six year relationship: from their origin story through Tinder, to dealing with each other’s unique quirks and habits that make them who they are, and even discussing how they’re working on their own personal issues to avoid lulls in this long term partnership. We also talk about dealing with loss and the different ways people react in these types of group situations, specifically with Bobby in the recent passing of his father. We dove real deep this week into self understanding with friends, family, and partners. Hope this can help some of ya… Shout out to the Slept King and his Princess

Our engineer/editor Mia Marchant (Cynical Cartoons) joins us as a guest this week to talk about her recent experience coming out as a trans woman. Mia opens up to us about the process of coming into her own authenticity, the scared feeling in anticipation of how certain family and friends would react, and the differences she encountered between her expectations and the reality of the entire experience. She also talks about how difficult this process would have been in her intolerant home town in comparison to here in L.A. and her take on the emotional intelligence of children in making gender identity based decisions. Great episode… couldn’t be happier to have Mia onboard here.

Chris Hardwick (Talking Dead, @midnight) and Lydia Hearst (Z Nation, South of Hell) join us this week to talk about the wild back-and-forth origin story of their relationship/marriage and how they were able to connect early on with their shared eccentric interests and recent losses of each of their fathers. They talk about the importance of transparent communication within a relationship, while sharing how their long-distance honeymoon phase forced them to develop a strong emotional bond before getting intimate. These two just get it… love em.

Rosey’s Ex, Andrea Bogart (General Hospital, The Odd Couple) stops by the show this week to share a behind the scenes look at her relationship with Michael. The two share stories from their past, discuss the positive and negative aspects they saw in each other as partners, and explain how they’ve been able to grow a strong friendship even after an emotionally tolling breakup. Andrea goes on to share how with a little self care and transformation through yoga, she was able to flip her negative mindstate and manifest the relationship and beautiful family she is building now.

Seth Green (Austin Powers, Robot Chicken) and Clare Grant (Walk the Line, Changeland) stop by to share their perspectives on working closely with your significant other, being with a partner who shares the exact same interests, and how they managed to craft a successful marriage out of a friendship. Seth and Clare share stories working together on the film Changeland, talking about how they both felt about having romantic scenes with other cast members, aside from themselves. All the while, they talk about how they’ve been able to maintain a positive and productive relationship all this time, after recently celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary.

Chrissy Metz (This Is Us) and Donnie Berry (This Is Us) stop by to share their experiences and insights from a successful 17+ year friendship and newly founded working relationship. The two breakdown times where they’ve overcome petty disputes, also sharing their individual perspectives on navigating the line between close friend and employee/employer... all coming from a place of love and wanting to help each other grow and succeed.

In a world full of cynicism, sarcasm and irony; Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville) and Chris Sullivan (This is Us) discuss the things in their lives that bring them joy, fulfillment and gratitude.
