Rules Of Engagement

Chaining Day

We hit double digits, y’all. Episode 10. That’s 10 whole weeks of oversharing, bad advice, and Marty somehow not getting canceled. To celebrate, Dre went full Oprah and gifted Marty a chain so heavy it comes with back problems and commitment issues. This week we go completely off the rails diving into the friend group bylaws nobody reads but everybody violates: - Is it ever okay to date your friend’s ex? What about their situationship? Their crush? Their ex’s cousin? Dre has a spreadsheet. It’s unhinged. - The “Keep All Your Women To Yourself” Doctrine: Marty’s manifesto on why sharing is NOT caring when it comes to his roster. Gatekeeping? Yes. Toxic? Maybe. Hilarious? Absolutely. Expect chaos, bad takes, unnecessary yelling, and at least one moment where we question why anyone let us have microphones. Drop a comment: Who’s side are you on — Team “Exes Are Off Limits” or Team “Shoot Your Shot”? 👉 Smash subscribe so you don’t miss us getting even messier by Episode 11. New episodes every week, same two idiots.

Unhinged Casual Chaos

This week TSBI goes from e-bike to ER after a knee-scraping crash that has him rethinking helmets and life choices. RIP to my dignity and my left patella. I tell the full story of how an e-bike, gravity, and my own hubris teamed up against me. Then we get into the real joint pain: How much financial/emotional labor is too much to ask from your partner? And finally, Drake said “it’s Iceman season” — but did he bring the heat or just the frostbite? Strap in. I would, but my knee won’t let me.

No Easy Way To Say It

Don’t Get Married To A Jada

This week we’re stirring the pot and dodging subpoenas. • Our Jada Pinkett Smith fatigue: From the table talks to the timeline think pieces, we break down why her brand of oversharing feels like homework. Spoiler: we did not enroll in this class. • Pooh Shiesty vs. Gucci Mane: Is trying to snake out of a contract with “creative” illegal tactics a boss move or a jail move? We debate the difference between getting out the deal and getting into RICO. • Jay-Z interviews: The man can give you 45 minutes of gems that somehow contain zero information. We translate the art of saying a lot while revealing absolutely nothing. • Personal trainers: Do you want burpees or a therapist? We rant about the trainers who think “accountability” means texting you at 6am and charging you for emotional damage... We mix petty with perspective. No PR-approved answers, no media training, just two people with mics, grudges, and Google. If you like your commentary messy, your logic loose, and your laughs frequent, pull up a seat.

Walls Up, Communication Down. Stop Yelling!!! Start Listening

A deep dive into domestic courtroom drama: the sock left on the floor becomes Exhibit A, the volume knob becomes your cardio, and “I’m fine” is legalese for “brace yourself.” We ask whether bad days exist or if we’re just chaining bad moments together, decode waking-up-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-bed science (spoiler: it’s usually the side with cold feet), and audit our protective walls—sarcasm, silence, strategic dishwasher loading. Featuring: accountability when you’re both kind of right, and the emotionally intelligent superpower of stepping out of the room (not the relationship) before you say the thing you’ll rehearse in the shower for a week. For couples who fight, yell, repair, and occasionally apologize to the dog.
