Social media moves fast, so this story has come and gone on social media, but it still gives us the same response, "DA FUQ?" This week we discuss age gaps in relationships, but specifically a story we found where a 40 something year old man has married an 18 year old woman, but...that's not the end of things. Find out why Dre clutched her pearls and twisted her face when hearing about this.

We are ONE week from the ONE YEAR mark. Can you believe it? Your #favepodcastpair has been with you every week and we've loved every moment of it. We are also just a hop, skip and a jump away from Dre's nuptials to "Hashtag Boo" and this week she and Barz talk about everything from becoming abstinent just before marriage to crucial conversations that many people fail to have, or flat out avoid, before "I do".

The past week has been interesting. Netflix released the fifth (and final?) Dave Chappelle comedy special on its platform where Dave speaks candidly to the LGBTQIA+ community with reference to his previous specials and commentary he’s been under attack for. Less than a few days later, former Raiders Head Coach Jon Gruden comes under fire for racist rhetoric in leaked emails...but the fire really turned up when additional email was leaked with misogynistic and homophobic comments. Join your #favepodcastpair, Barzini and Dre Renee for this serious conversation...after we check in on Dre’s wedding countdown!

Very recently, a video went viral of a woman slapping a man at a football game. What happened afterward could only be imagined. Barz and Dre examine the situation.
Many boys are taught not to hit girls under any circumstances. But what happens when boys and/or men are physically threatened or harmed by girls/women that weaponize their gender? Is it ever okay to defend yourself as a man? Do women choose physical force assuming all men will refrain from returning physicality?

Social media is full of memes asking, "are women still fill in the blank for grown ass, able bodied men in 2021?" Are there things that our mates should/shouldn't expect from us? And how do our parents contribute to these thoughts?
You get to see us make a blooper and it didn't get edited. Can you catch it? Oh, and watch til the end to hear from our special guests...

**Last week, #Netflix rolled out its series, #Untold and started it with an examination of the infamous Malice at the Palace, the brawl between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons in 2004.
As sports fans, Barz and Dre walk through the moments they remember, and consider how a split second upended several lives unfairly and without all of the facts.**

In Episode 11, part 1 of Socially Distant, we tackled social media and its effect on relationships. For part 2, we take a peek at the experience of social media, relationships and CELEBRITY.
This week we watched Olympic Gold Medalist Simone Biles withdraw from the gymnastics team finals during the Tokyo Olympic Games for mental health concerns. And our favorite Awkward Black Girl, Issa Rae got married in a “surprise” pop-up announcement via People Magazine photoshoot shoot. In both instances, the internet lost its mind. Listen in on the conversation between Barz & Dre, then share your comments.

If there’s ever a topic that gets people going, it’s sex. And we understand that a lot of people got their understanding of sexual morality (and immorality) based around religion. Unfortunately, many kids (turned adults) made their decisions about sex shrouded in fear, shame and worry of disappointing God. As adults, is it practical to “save yourself” when you are otherwise getting to know someone and measuring their characteristics as a husband or wife? Listen in on the conversation between Barz & Dre, then share your comments.

WE MADE IT TO EPISODE 30!!! We've had a few 2-parters, but this is officially the 30th episode! Barz has set an audacious 10,000 subscriber goal and we want YOUR HELP to reach it. If you're not currently subscribed, make it happen and tell a friend.
Now onto today's episode. Validation is one of the ways that we learn what's right and wrong, as well as what we do well and what we can improve on. These confirming (or conflicting) messages guide us throughout our lives and can become somewhat of a warm blanket that shields us from responsibility and accountability.

We made it to 20 EPISODES! Even though we've had a few 2-parters, we are celebrating this as a DUB!
Safe spaces can be few and far between in relationships. Women complain that men don't share their feelings, but are men allowed to truly feel and express their genuine experience? Barzini says no, and breaks down the conundrum for Dre while she strives to understand why (generally) men don't fully express themselves.

Each week, Dre and Barz tackle a discussion. Sometimes there's agreement, sometimes there's disagreement. At the end of the day, they HEAR one another because they speak one another's language...even when it's not their "native tongue".

When this episode was recorded, the only thing known at the time was that "relationship guru" #DerrickJaxn had cheated on his wife multiple times, while being a self love advocate that appealed to women and held the feet of men to the fire regarding their conduct in relationships. The day after, we could not have anticipated what would happen next.
Listen in as your #favepodcastpair breaks down the importance of being careful who you place on a pedestal and open yourself to for advice. Then, join Barz & Dre LIVE on Thursday at 6pm Pacific/8pm Central at www.facebook.com/thexrossroadz to talk about the aftermath, including the Jaxn's going live...plus #bonnetgate.

Relationships can be hard enough...without the input and opinions of family members, not to mention the strain it causes when they don't get along with a spouse or significant other.

When you find yourself in a toxic space or breathing toxic air, sometimes it can be unbeknownst to you. People outside can see it, but they can't get to you (or save you) because you're isolated, in a chamber. Even once you've left the situation, you may still have effects that render positive things foreign or even frightening to you.
In this episode, the focus is on toxicity in relationships and where it can begin in the lives of those who find themselves breathing the poison. Listen to the discussion on how to recognize, overcome and heal from toxic trauma.
