This week's #GayRelationshipGoals is Indian royalty. Manvendra Singh Gohil (@manvendrasinghgohil) came out in 2006, receiving an endless amount of threats and bullying seeing as how the royal family of Rajpipla had never had an out and proud gay Prince in its 600+ year dynasty. Manvendra has since become an advocate for gay rights, working to establish a shelter for LGBTQ+ people and using his platform to bring attention to it. Check out his profile and send him some love. Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about something that shouldn't be a topic ... but obviously is: wearing a mask. Join them and gather their take on this war on masks and (hopefully) learn that they are more helpful than they are harmful. Finally, the guys sit down at the virtual Critable to connect with Michael and Ian (@ilovethatforyou) to find out a little bit more about their pre-covid wedding, quarantined honeymoon, and living out their podcast dreams. This is a fun episode you won't want to miss!

Laurence Van den Keybus (@laurence_lvdk) and his boyfriend Samer Jannan (@sjannan) are this week's #GayRelationshipGoals, and once you look at their IG pages, you will know why! These guys are just about everything we love about a couple: fashion, love, cuteness overload, and a dream relationship. These guys are adorable, so make sure you check them out. Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about some of the best and worst relationship advice they've ever received. Communication is the key? Get under someone to get over someone? Never go to bed angry? There is so much good and bad advice out there - what is some of the best relationship advice you've received? Finally, tune into the July edition of our Listener Shituations!

In a Relationsh!t first, this week's #GayRelationshipGoals is a single dad that we are obsessed with! Matt Switzer (@mswitzer82) is a single dad living in Chicago with twins. Matt stole our hearts when a video of him doing his daughter's hair (and getting really good at it) crossed our paths. You see, Matt's kids are Black and as a white man, this was a very impressive accomplishment. Check out Matt's IG page and make sure you tell him the Critelli's sent you! Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about relationship respect. How important is it to respect your partner, and have them respect you? In a very uncomfortable conversation, the Critelli's sit down and talk about their experience with the topic and how challenging it's been for them. Finally, the guys are joined at the virtual Critable by Vinny (@vincenz_) and Dominic (@thedonkeybear). These guys talk about their similar Italian families, coming out in their twenties, and similar they are. This is an amazing episode that you won't want to miss!
