Hosts: C.L., Doc G, Khori, & Yusuf 

This week on the Relationship Status Podcast, Yusuf is joined by Gaylord Fockerer (yes, that Gaylord) break down one of the wildest relationship stories to ever hit the group chat. A woman asks for a “break” to fight temptation, gets dumped, walks into a spider web, quits her job, and is SHOCKED when her man moves on. Girl, is it crack?!

We’re talking:

The difference between a break and a breakup (spoiler: one ends in a gas bill).

Why comparing yourself to Instagram models is hazardous to your healing.

“Rich Zaddy” and the dangers of transactional love.

The horizontal hokey pokey and its lasting consequences.

Spider Gwen, Charlotte’s Web, and how NOT to quit your job.

Plus, we crown some of the most savage listener comments, including the now-iconic: “A wet coochie and an empty purse don’t make no sense.”

And don’t forget: first person to email us where the name Gaylord Focker comes from wins a free t-shirt AND a gas card—because we support good decisions and full tanks.

Yusuf and Fraronda are back with another episode packed with real talk, deep feels, and just enough laughs to keep you from ugly crying (well, maybe). Inspired by a poem that basically says “we’re all just five bucks away from asking for fries,” they get into how life can flip on a dime — and how mental health, bad days, and tough choices sneak up on everyone.

They break down the movie Straw (spoiler: it’s heavy), but don’t worry, they sprinkle in some jokes about being totally done with school drama and daycare nonsense. Then they jump into The Pursuit of Happyness, because who doesn’t love a dad trying to keep his kid safe while living like it’s an episode of Survivor? Bonus points for the heartbreaking lipstick moment that got them all choked up.

If you thought this was just a serious vibe, nah — these two keep it real with some hilarious “what I would’ve done” moments (spoiler: probably more yelling and a lot less patience). And heads up — next episode they’re diving into Forever, so buckle up for more feels, laughs, and probably some more weird analogies.

So grab your favorite drink (fries optional) and join Yusuf and Fraronda for the kind of chat that makes you think, cry, and laugh all at once.

Imagine this: Your partner’s best friend starts acting like they’re auditioning for a rom-com... and you’re stuck playing the jealous, confused sidekick. Yeah, it’s THAT kind of episode. On this week’s Relationship Status, we dive headfirst into the wild world of “Who’s crossing the line?” and “How many hugs did I NOT get as a kid?”

We break down the unspoken “male best friend goes missing” rule (yep, it’s a thing), and why sometimes the best way to handle your feelings is... therapy. Because, let’s be honest, $80 a week to unpack all your emotional baggage? Sounds cheaper than a breakup!

Plus, we get real about love languages, awkward childhood love deficits (hug anyone?), and why showing feelings feels like trying to do cardio when you’d rather nap. Spoiler alert: Everyone needs therapy. Yes, even you.

So buckle up for some hilarious truths, awkward confessions, and a whole lot of “OMG, same!” moments. If your relationship ever made you say, “Wait, what just happened?” — this episode is your new best friend.

Popcorn recommended. Side-eyes from your partner optional.

Tune in for the laughs, stay for the insight.

Y’all ready for some realness? In this episode of Relationship Status, your boy Yusuf chats it up with the one and only Khori Syn — a writer, dancer, and all-around mystery wrapped in 18 different personalities. They get into everything from social media habits (“You don’t post? No, you don’t!”), to juggling multiple alter egos (wait till you hear about Raylene, Carol, and Brother Lewis), and the messy, hilarious, sometimes messy realities of relationships today.

Khori keeps it , saying things like, “I feel like being… who do I feel like being today?” while Yusuf’s just trying to keep up. If you love deep convos sprinkled with laughs, awkward moments, and that “who even is Khori Syn?” energy, this episode’s got you covered. Whether you’re into relationship drama, social media tea, or just want to vibe with some real talk — hit play and enjoy!

Tune in for the laughs, stay for the insight.

Hosts: C.L., Doc G, & Yusuf 

In this heartfelt and humorous episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, Yusuf and Faronda dive deep into the complexities of modern relationships—romantic, platonic, and everything in between. From navigating the evolving dynamics of co-parenting and closure to wrestling with the innocence we lose as adults, they explore how missed opportunities and fear of vulnerability can cost us meaningful connections. The duo unpacks how childhood simplicity once made relationships more honest and questions how adulthood often complicates that clarity.

They also discuss emotional responsibility, navigating uncomfortable truths, and the challenge of realigning relationships when expectations don’t meet reality. And in true RSP fashion, the episode is peppered with laughter, accountability (yes, hot dogs were involved), and a blooper-worthy struggle to remember the “Question of the Week.”

This week’s question: Your partner never posts you, but always posts food, pets, and shoes—red flag or no big deal?

Tune in for the laughs, stay for the insight.

In this vulnerable and thought-provoking episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, hosts Yusuf and Fraronda dive deep into the often-blurred lines between love, lust, and emotional safety. From deciphering the real intentions behind DMs to discussing how past traumas shape our approach to vulnerability, they explore what it means to "lean in" versus "chase" in modern relationships. The duo unpacks the importance of emotional discernment, how both men and women carry walls into new connections, and why mutual safety is essential for true intimacy. With real talk, laughter, and a few live reactions to dating app antics, this episode invites listeners to reflect on whether they’ve ever pushed away someone who genuinely leaned in. They also get into an advice letter from a husband who is at hos whits end! Tune in, share your thoughts, and join the ongoing conversation about building relationships that are both safe and soulful.

Question of the Week:
Have you ever pushed away someone who leaned into loving you? Why?

Recorded live at The Up On The Roof Restaurant — thank you for hosting us!

In this episode, the crew dives deep into the realities of change, balance, and emotional growth in relationships. They explore how childhood experiences shape adult behavior, the challenges of balancing work and love, and the importance of building a strong "trust bank" with your partner. Can people really change for a relationship? Should you expect your partner to be your everything — best friend, lover, therapist, and cheerleader?

The conversation gets real as personal experiences, hard truths, and a few laughs are shared. Plus, the team tackles whether it's fair to use your past as a crutch in current relationships — and what it really means to show up for the people you love.

You won't want to miss the heartfelt advice, a few spicy moments, and a surprising takeaway about keeping your job to keep your relationship strong!
