Relationsh!t Podcast

Got some sh!t to say?

This week's couple is both a #QueerRelationshipGoals and inspiration ... and we LOVE them.  Dee and Elle (@dee_n_elle) spend so much time bettering others and themselves, and it is no wonder their smiles are so bright and their spirits are so beautiful. We love them and know you will too - check them out and give them some love! The guys sit down to talk about the importance of being healthy and how it can positively or negatively affect your relationship.  Does your partner challenge you to choose healthier options in your everyday life? This week's episode gives you answer that question. The guys are joined at the Virtual Critable by hosts of the Cotton-Pauly Blend Podcast, Paul Conyers (@paulconyers) and Troy Cotton.  They join Marko and Tony to talk about the similarities in straight relationships (Paul is married, Troy is single and has a child), and laugh about their heights and whether or not they think about gay sex. It's a fun episode to listen to!

Check them out on IG and let them know we sent you. Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about Tony's (least) favorite topic: clothing.

Finally, the guys are joined at the Virtual Critable by friends and former partners, Sarah and Alix. The two talk about their respect for one another and their time together. This is a fun interview with two wonderful guests!

To say we are obsessed with this week's #QueerRelationshipGoals would be the understatement of the year.  Jeanette and Lauryn (@4theloveofdillard), are our new favorites!  We love these ladies so much and love the way they love each other.  You can tell there is a genuine connection there, and we are big fans.  Check them out on IG and make sure you tell them we sent you! Then, because Valentine's Day is coming up, Marko and Tony play a game that is said to reignite their love for one another - a way to build intimacy without being physical.  Will this bring the guys closer together?  You'll have to tune in to find out. Finally, Dr. Ian Jenkins (@three_dads_and_a_baby) joins Marko and Tony at the Virtual Critable to talk about his life and very unique relationship.  Queer relationships aren't typically categorized as "normal" to begin with, but Ian and his family prove that as long as there is love, normal can be whatever you make it.

Husbands, Dre B. (@dretheblueprint_) and Will Smith (@willpowers_) are this week's #QueerRelationshipGoals! Based in DC, these beautiful Black men are showing love in a way that is meaningful for any and everyone.  We are obsessed with them and think you will feel the same way.  Follow them on IG and let them know we sent you. Then, the Critelli's sit down to talk about falling in love with someone's potential, instead of falling in love with them. Have you ever built up an image of what you thought someone was supposed to be? How did that work out for you?  Finally, Marko and Tony are joined at the Virtual Critable by educator and author, David Ellison, to talk about his book, Santander: Rambling on Borrowed Time, his decision to ex-patriate, and a colorful story about getting arrested south of the border.  This episode is a nail-biter!

We are starry-eyed about this week's #QueerRelationshipGoals, Kelsey Pearson (@kelseystacypearson) and her partner, H. Pearson (@h.m.pearson).  Not only are they both absolutely STUNNING, but their apparent love and adoration for one another is exactly what relationships are made of.  Check them out on IG and fall in love with them too!  "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter" - EE Cummings.  This week, Marko and Tony talk about the importance of laughter in general and within your relationship.  Does your partner make you laugh?  Is humor important in a partner?  Life should be full of joy and whimsy and this week, @thecritellis help you attain it.  And finally, tune in for the January edition of our Listener Shituations!  Marko and Tony sit down at the Virtual Critable to solve your relationship problems.

Nous aimons this week's #GayRelationshipGoals - Paris lovers, Chris and Sunny (@chris.and.sunny). The admiration for one another is enough to make anybody "oooooh" and "ahhhhh". But beyond that, they look like they truly love one another, and we are all for that.  To love someone in The City of Love is a dream we all don't want to be awakened from, but follow the guys on IG in the meantime and maybe your dreams will come true. Then, the Critellis get together to talk about cooking (a topic Marko hates). The guys talk about differences in cuisine preferences, Tony's lack of seasoning, and ways to make cooking fun for couples.  Finally, Marko and Tony are joined at the Virtual Critable by one-half of the (@extragaysians), Kristine Ebona, to talk about her early days and move from the Philippines to Canada, coming to terms with her queer identity, and her new book, ' My Two Cool Moms'.  It's an interview you'll be glad you were a part of - because we were!

Sh!t to Put on Your Radar:

• February is Black History Month and Marko & Tony want to spend the month highlighting Black love. So, if you know of or admire any queer Black relationships, send them our way so we can make this Black History Month a celebration of queer love.
• Listener Situations will air on next week's episode so make sure to write in to the Critellis ... there's still time!
