Welcome to Part 2 of Ptolemy and Shelly, buckle your seatbelts! In Part 2, we discuss the challenges of staying connected to your partner after having a child, as well as how to move past the darkest times in a relationship, whether or not it’s strictly necessary to totally let go of resentments, and the importance of having a physical space that is comfortable and safe for both people. We also discuss what movies and TV shows approach capturing what it’s like to be in a happy relationship that requires work.

The Darkest Time (Shelly & Ptolemy - Part 2)

Julia Meltzer interviews real couples about their fights: how, why, whose fault is it, do you still love each other - the JUICY stuff. At times hilarious, at times painful, at times full of heartbreakingly raw honesty, these conversations expose truths about love, human beings, and the concept of partnership.

Keylee and Micah return to Honey! They have now been married for seven years, and they are awesome. They are amazing filmmakers who work together so they have lots of experience navigating conflict. Micah’s currently a news junkie and Keylee is taking in very little news and focusing on the positive. Julia talks to them about their religious background and evolution, Micah’s frustration with Keeley leaving the door open when she goes outside, whether or not they should decamp to rural Texas, and Julia’s new bidet. We also hear a little more about Julia’s relationship and their (shameful) lack of fighting.

Steady Eddy (Brooke & Wilhelm)

Sydney and Noah are LA-based comedians who have been together for two and a half years. They got together when Noah simply refused to be a rebound hookup and now live together! While quarantining and preparing to quarantine, they have had some grocery-related conflicts - but that doesn't count as a fight. A fight involves storming out of the car and into a 7-11 due to the stresses of LA real estate. Their advice for quarantined couples: FaceTime your friends from separate rooms, eat edibles at night, and remember to ~stay intimate~.

Introducing My Dead Parents

Courtney Arnett and Brian Kelly are Chicago transplants to LA who used to live together and once went to a 1920's themed engagement party that sounds really insufferable. Courtney told me she would come on the show with her ex and tell the story of a fight that ended with makeup sex in the bathroom of said engagement party. THAT IS WHAT SHE TOLD ME, OKAY? Nobody had any idea that this one would end up going where it did. Buckle your seatbelt around your frail little heart, because this is a doozy.
