You’ll laugh and gain insights into how any situationship or relationship can go sour.  Catch new episodes on Mondays & Wednesdays!

    Lisa was dating Derek, a man 4 years her senior. She met him through some friends of hers and they dropped L-bombs within a few weeks! Huge red flag! After reeling her in, Derek started lying about EVERYTHING. He was probably addicted to lying so he could escape his reality by becoming someone else, essentially, in someone else's eyes. Lisa, don't say you should never trust men again! You won't meet another idiot like Derek. He's one of one.

    Our very first email submission episode is pure insanity. Dirty John 2.0 expands on what the definition of a loser is. He was 10 years older than his girlfriend Laura and he brought nothing but chaos to the table. It all began with Dirty John 2.0 sniffing Laura and her roommate's underwear. Things took a turn from there y'all. Trust me. And the Tweet I reference in this episode can be found here. LOLs!

    Tyler Francis was sleeping with his baby mama Bri, allegedly, while he was engaged to another woman. He also used to have threesomes with his ex-fiance and baby mama. Allegedly. Tyler is a freak and his Love is Blind wife Ashley believes that Tyler was only a sperm donor. Social media pics and videos prove that Tyler loved spending time with his kids. I think he's going to leave Ashley so he can be with his children. I also think Tyler is pulling a long con. Tyler is clearly "too good to be true" because he is FAKE! Run from anyone pretending to be perfect. It's often a facade.

    Tim is known for dumping his fiance Alex because she took a nap. In reality, he dumped her because he never forgave her for calling him "out [his] God given name." I explain the definition of toxic masculinity and how Tim exhibits toxic traits. I also discuss how ill equipped Alex is to marry anyone right now. She doesn't know how to be a partner. She acted like she was single. Tim makes my skin crawl though and I explain why he's terrible. Avoid men like Timothy! Please.

    Netflix's Love is Blind season 7 had some of the worst men in the show's history. I'm dragging Ramses for dumping his fiance Marissa TWO DAYS before their wedding because her "energy is off." Marissa wasn't having sex with Ramses as often as she was when they were in Mexico - you know that's the reason. I also talk about how blaming "energy" is a cheap excuse that doesn't explain the truth. Blaming energy is another way of saying you only care about yourself and you don't want to work it out with someone else because we all know that no one can defend themself when someone says their "energy is off." Don't dump your fiance like this. SMH.

    Maddie was in a relationship with her boyfriend Renzo for three years when she got a DM on Instagram asking her: "Do you know your boyfriend is cheating on you?" After Maddie learned about Renzo's extracurricular activities, her cleaning lady spilled all the tea about Renzo's cheating! Emotional abuse and complex trauma aren't talked about nearly enough and friends don't want to listen to you talk about relationship drama. Maddie has learned more about addicts and trauma bonding. She says "do some inner work" to avoid finding yourself in an emotionally abusive and unhealthy relationship with someone who utilizes DARVO tactics: Defend, Attack, Reverse, Victim, Offender. We've learned some new red flags from our interview with Maddie! Thankfully, she's come out on the other side better than ever.

Renzo was a master manipulator whose alcohol addiction was exposed after he moved into Maddie's apartment. He got into rehab but wasn't serious about his sobriety, so Maddie went on a sex strike. Genius move? You decide. Personally, I would have done the same. Then one random Tuesday Maddie receives a shocking DM on Instagram. Yes, it gets worse.

    In Part 1 of "Maddie & Renzo," Maddie met Renzo at a parade and they had a great time. Next, Renzo said he couldn't pay for their first date (during their first date)! We talk about who should pay on a first date in heterosexual, gay, and bi relationships. More importantly, the mind games begin when Renzo makes sure to get Maddie emotionally invested. After he mentions being exclusive and tells Maddie he loves her, Renzo ghosts Maddie after she was nothing but kind, thoughtful, and generous to him. Gasp. I'm still shaking my head.  We'll have more of Maddie's story next week. What a wild ride.
