What the hell is going on with our tongues?

In Episode 7 of Shit Talk Corner, Kelly and Zane bring another round of completely different topics to the Corner, and somehow it all comes together under one perfectly weird title: Tongue Problems.

From strange facts and questionable conversations to the random side roads we definitely didn’t plan on taking, this episode has plenty of laughs, real talk, and those classic STC moments where we wonder how the conversation got here in the first place.

Grab a drink, get comfortable, and come hang out in the Corner.

Sex, relationships, intimacy, and getting older… because apparently everything changes with age.

In Episode 6, Pile of Love, Kelly and Zane get real about how relationships and intimacy evolve over the years. From changing bodies and shifting priorities to keeping the spark alive, communicating what you want, and figuring out what closeness looks like in different stages of life, we’re putting it all in the Corner.

It’s honest, funny, a little awkward, and probably way more relatable than any of us want to admit.

Because love might change as we get older, sex might change, and relationships definitely change, but there’s still plenty of shit to talk about.

This week on Shit Talk Corner, Kelly and Zane are taking a trip without ever leaving the Corner.

In Episode 5, “Fly to San Francisco to Give It a Try,” we dive into another completely random topic, packed with questionable facts, unexpected twists, plenty of laughs, and the kind of conversations that somehow make perfect sense to us.

So buckle up, grab your headphones, and fly to San Francisco with us to give it a try.
