The most golden retriever couple I have seen 😂
Ugh the addiction question. I've been with my partner for 14 years and the pain and of not only watching your partner go through it, but the loneliness of being the other partner and having to watch your partner struggle. It has been so rough...
John is killing me with those gloves 😂💀
Not a space heater, a radiator, totally quiet & warm 👍
The addiction question, i feel for you. I was with my ex partner for 10 years with countless broken promises, the betrayal because yes they will choose the addiction every single time. After many years I learned I wasn’t selfish for leaving, he was the selfish one for putting me through it. I remember saying what do you think will happen if we continue this way and of course he just shrugged it off every time. The end came when I had enough. No big fight I just said its over when I caught him buying it again. The loneliness, the pain of watching him go through it, i had to let it go. Guess what? There is happiness and peace for you. Also eventually someone out there with a healthy love for you. God knows what you need, just trust that. I now after almost 6 years, I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful amazing kids. Now i see i was emotionally abused, never having peace is not something you should live with. I wish safety, strength, peace and love for you.
I heard somewhere that they are recommending men get colonoscopies at a younger age rather than over 50. Good job, John!
I love all y'all's episodes but this one was BY FAR my favorite!! So funny!
Loving these podcasts. So hilariously and relatable to anyone that is out dating, in a relationship or married.
there is no better way to start a morning than this
THANK YOU ❤️
The fact that this video is 6 months old and they recently posted a reel on the ZOOMIES before going to bed...I can't 😂😂
I can relate to the first quickie. As a woman, it feels like most of the time when I go on dates with men they're waiting for when they can get physically intimate. If the first and second dates go well and you're both interested in taking things further or seeing them as a potential partner, it's best to bring it up. Tell them straight that you're a slow burner or that it takes a while for you to feel comfortable with someone before having sex. Their response is usually quite telling. I'm not sure I'd bring it up out of nowhere but there are usually opportunities for the conversation to go there. Alternatively, you could ask what their thoughts are about sex on the first date or what their approach to intimacy is when dating and take it from there.
Love your podcast and now also watching it on UA-cam! You guys are hilarious
8 minutes in and I’m out of breath. Love this ❤
Omg I LOLED so much thru this lmaooooooo this was good
I love listening to you guys!
Ayyy yooo 😂 this is great 💯 nice chemistry, definitely subscribing ❤
I love the icks but would love to see you guys close on a more positive note. Maybe one ick with one non ick? But what do I know! Love you guys!
Love it, I hope they see this 💛
I would love it they did icks and then Jon says his “phrase of the week” 😂 that would be my fav to look forward to that
I like the icks. It’s human. They start off already asking how each other are etc.
I agree. This is too negative, not constructive at all in a relationship
LOLOLOL the ending icks killed me this week
Thank you for the laughs guys!
Best episode yet 😂 I laughed out loud too many times
Dead claw hand and the “brick” part totally made me laugh. My boyfriend does dead claw head too. It’s ridiculous lmao
only just discovered this pod and loving it; but just thought i should mention regarding jon’s “clumsiness” and destroying things 🤣 the last episode i was listening to, alex mentioned perhaps jon had adhd; a lot of adhders (including myself) also have dyspraxia otherwise known as developmental co-ordination disorder (dcd).. a condition which affects physical co-ordination. around 50% of those with dyspraxia also have adhd! but yeah, poor depth perception (the inability to accurately judge distance or space) which often results in a lot of us being clumsy, dropping / breaking things (oh and my personal favourite: walking into walls!! rip my shoulders 😭) and generally just waking up with new bruises daily 😅
Such a good episode 😂😂😂
You guys are hilarious!! 😂😂😂
Jon your fucking gloves are killing me 😂
Polyp are clumps of tissues (think like a huge skin tag😁😆) use a oil space heater doesn’t make any noise turn it on a couple of hours before the podcast you guys will be good 👍🏼 and thanks for bringing the weather from the east coast 😂
For the toxic relationship with the newly wed couple, feels like she is self sabotaging. Like the proposal made things really real and now she is self sabotaging it because she is insecure and not ready!
video on how you guys met!!!
When Jon mentioned Alex getting the "zoomies" I pictured Alex as a greyhound dog just running around the room 😂 No correlation or disrespect whatsoever! Love you both 🤎
37:56 reminds me of a comedic who said it’s a lesson I can never learn😂😂
I honestly thin you guys are amazing, but I def don't watch for good advice. The banter is where it's at lol
I hate those days John!!!😮💨
52:19, literally me and my wife.
her: rub my back.
me, trying to sleep: dead hand rubbing.
I’ve had 1 done and wait to you get 1 Alex
What’s the name of the all you can eat tacos place??
“How’s that makeup sex” 😂 #StayToxic
I cannot take him seriously with those gloves on hahahha
OMG thank God lol. My husband & I also didn't have sex on our wedding night & I was honestly ashamed to admit that!
The brick conversation 💀💀💀
Colonoscopies should be done at 45 or older if you have a family history & 50 if not every 5 years. :3
Bull in a China shop hahhahaha
Alex cursing does not sound forced at all!
Addiction is a bitch, it is terrible to live with, you have to watch your partner struggle and you have to live with the behaviors that come with alcohol consumption. I was with my husband for 10 years and he finally hit bottom and got sober. They have to decide when they are ready, you have to decide how you want your life to be, and that may include them or it may not.

@jon it's quite likely you are ADHD. Read up on it - i think you'll relate with it!
