Alex and Shane chat about getting under each other's skin, and reaching 100,000 followers on TikTok. 

 

Psychotherapist Matthias J. Barker discusses marriage, the positive implications of having kids, why communicating about the little things matters in a relationship, pornography, reconciling different attachment styles, and coping with anxiety.

 

Leslie Bangamba is a safety advocate and mother. She candidly shares her harrowing experience dealing with the medical complications incurred when her young child swallowed a battery, causing life threatening damage. 

 

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like favourite concerts, heading back to work, getting back with exes, Canada's gun issues, and the compatibility of Alex and Shane's star signs.
