Complicated
Relationsh!t Podcast
03/06/19 • 82 min
Why is everything with you so complicated?
Why do you make it hard to love you?
FIRST VERSE:
There is nothing better than mature love, and the guys of (@thehouseofbroughton) are the true definition of love and happiness beyond your 20's. Lawrence and Michael have been married since 2017 and have been the dictionary definition of #GayRelationshipGoals. Follow them on IG and make sure to tell them the Critelli's sent you!
CHORUS:
"Sometimes I get you
Sometimes I don't understand
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes it's you I can't stand
Sometimes I wanna hug you
Sometimes I wanna push you away
Most times I wanna kiss you
Other times punch you in the face"
Disagreeing is a normal part of any relationship, but do you and your partner know how to do it in a productive way? This week, Marko and Tony talk about the art of disagreeing in an effective manner.
SECOND VERSE:
As promised, we are joined (once again) with new friends and quick couple, Shawn (@muzishawn) and Wayne (@zj_thehuman). The guys gather once again to dive even further into their relationship, moving in together, and trying to navigate life while managing their love for one another.
BRIDGE:
Are you out at work? This week's Listener Shituation is from a guy that would like to be honest and out at work and needs some help with how to (appropriately and professionally) notify his co-workers.

Gaia (@gaiasynaesthesia) & Valen (@valenmess) are this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals.

This is an episode sure to get your heart rate up! Finally, the guys are joined at the Virtual Critable by healthcare advocate and host of the Queer Late Night Podcast, Ell McCullars (@ell.mccullars).

Work & Play Sh!t
Relationsh!t Podcast
11/30/22 • 121 min
We take a trip around the world with husbands Eric and Arthur (@aeseetheworld), our #QueerRelationshipGoals for the week. This Disney-loving duo has melted our hearts with their apparent love for adventure and each other, and we are huge fans of them and know you will be too. Give them a follow on IG and make sure you let them know the Critellis sent you. Then, Marko and Tony sit down to discuss a very challenging topic: working alongside the person you’re in a relationship with. Is this a relationship “no-no”? And how do you successfully navigate this potentially challenging dynamic and still manage to stay in love? Finally, the guys are joined at the virtual Critable by the hosts of the Bear Back Podcast, Ben and Benja, to talk about trains, how they met, the decision not to get married, and how a pop star led to the creation of their podcast. Give them a follow on IG (@bearbackpodcast) and get ready for a fun chat with these amazing guys!

Staying Attractive Sh!t
Relationsh!t Podcast
12/07/22 • 105 min
We are obsessing over this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals, Raleigh couple, Robb and Ben (@robb_benn). These lovers are absolute perfection - adorable, sweet, and just ... simple - and we love that. True love is quiet and these guys and their relationship is a church mouse (in the best way). We love them and think you will too. Check them out and give them a follow. Then, Marko and Tony get together to talk about staying attractive for your partner ... later in the relationship. Your appearance (and many other qualities) locked the relationship down, but how do you keep yourself attractive to your partner, long-term? Finally, Susan Bratton (@susanbratton) comes back to talk with the guys about any and everything passion and sex-related. How do you two penis-havers insert romance into their bedroom and relationship? And how can guys have better orgasms? All these questions are answered in this week’s episode!

Hot & Cold Sh!t
Relationsh!t Podcast
12/14/22 • 107 min
We are giddy about this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals, Ben Hunte (@beninldn) and Tom Ratcliffe (@tratcliffe15). This London-based couple is beyond adorable and ridiculously sweet on one another and we are here for it. Their love for one another is inspirational and an excellent connection to highlight. Check them out and give them a follow! Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about running hot and cold. When you are always hot and your partner runs cold, how can you make a relationship work? How can a couple that experiences heat and cold differently manage a healthy connection? Finally, Micah Peterson (@micahhasthefloor) joins the guys for an overdue catch-up. They laugh through their recent life updates, talk about the state of gay culture, and explore some sexual fantasies that may be added to their repertoire. Get ready for some Critelli-style laughs and hijinks!

We are taken by them and know you all will be too, so make sure you check them out and let us know what you think! Then, Marko and Tony get together to talk about an often thrown around term or concept of a "Soulmate". Do you believe that one person in the world was crafted or designed to me YOU? To complete YOUR life? That can make YOU happy? A soulmate can be exciting or scary, depending on how you look at it, and the guys have lots to say about it. Finally, the Critelli's gather for the September edition of Listener Shituations. Tune in for this week's amazing episode!
CHORUS:
"Let me put my soul on you, it's only right
Let me pull you up out your body into mine
Let me be your soulmate for the night
