Listen Now: Give It To Me Straight
Give It To Me Straight is like couples therapy— if therapy involved more sarcasm, unsolicited opinions, and two people who keep it way too real. Hosted by husband and wife, Jon and Alex, your favorite married friends who aren’t afraid to air their dirty laundry, and then argue about how it should’ve been folded. This show isn’t here to sugarcoat your problems or each other’s. They’re here to call out the red flags, roast bad decisions, and maybe accidentally start a fight in the process. It’s the podcast equivalent of texting your best friend, “Am I being crazy?” and getting back, “Yes. But here’s why.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
