Relationsh!t Podcast

Got some sh!t to say?

This week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals are an amazing married couple, Ash and Jess (@lez_be_in_love_). These ladies are all smiles and sunshine. We fell in love with them instantly and we are sure you will too. Check them out on IG and let them know the Critellis sent you. Then, Marko and Tony talk about a touchy topic (pun intended): differing levels of libido in a long-term relationship. How do you manage when one of you wants to throw down constantly while the other is fine with less frequent fornication? Finally, the guys chat with Dr. Evan Goldstein (@drevangoldstein): surgeon, founder, and CEO of Bespoke Surgical, co-founder of The Future Method sex care products, one of Crain’s 2020 New York City’s top LGBTQ+ business leaders, and all-around hilarious and informative human being. You are sure you will enjoy this educational but accessible discussion with a queer health thought leader. The conversation is frank, humorous, and so important.

Fiancées, Kurt Moore (@the_kurt_moore) and Emmitt Jackson (@emmitt.jackson), are this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals, and we absolutely love this couple.

Check them out on IG and let them know the Critellis sent you. Then, Marko and Tony get together to talk about the effect your exes may have on your current relationship. Is it possible to be friends with an ex? How do you get over your ex to make room for your new partner? Listen in as the guys try to navigate this challenging issue. Finally, tune in for the March edition of the Listener Shituations, where the guys sit down to solve your relationship issues, Critelli-style.

This week, Atlanta-based partners (@caras_atl) are our #QueerRelationshipGoals.  After coming to her queer identity later in life after marriage and a child, Cara met Cara, and the rest is history.  With so much love and joy within their family, this couple shows us that true love has different plans for us.  Give them a follow on IG - you’ll be glad you did! Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about slowing down.  Too often, one or both parts of a couple move too fast, completely missing the gooey center of a relationship and causing impatience and chaos.  How can you slow down and take your time in a relationship, not whizzing past all the good stuff? Then, the guys are joined at the Virtual Critable by friend of the podcast and good sport, Steven Lowe (@steeeeevn) to talk about a recent night out with Marko, finding love on the subway, and the upcoming trip to Greece.  Get ready for some laughs!

We LOVE love, but we love this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals even more.  Karl and Erry (@sokarlnerry) are giving us every ounce of life we never knew we needed.  Their undeniable love for one another and adorable connection is black love at its best.  We just know you will enjoy them just as much as we do, so make sure you give them a follow.  Then, Marko and Tony sit down to have the same fight, on a different day.  What is with this relationship phenomenon, and how do we stop the endless cycle of arguing about the same topic repeatedly? The guys try to figure it out on this week’s episode.  Finally, Marko and Tony are joined at the Virtual Critable by certified sex and relationship therapist, Dr. Joe Kort as he walks the guys through his methods for treating couples, what it means to be a “side”, and how he and his husband met.

This week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals are the incomparable Daniel (@danifyi) and Gregory (@kiiing_gregory). These gorgeous, successful, happy gents are the perfect pick for Valentine’s Day! We can honestly say that theirs is the embodiment of what we had in mind when we created this segment: an exceptional example that can inspire us all. Then, Marko and Tony discuss the all-too-common problem of getting into a tit-for-tat situation; the vicious cycle that is so easy to fall into. The guys are very honest in providing an example of how this issue pervades their own relationship. And finally, join the guys at the Virtual Critable as they read through the September edition of your Listener Shituations and give ya’ll some guidance … Critelli-style.
