The art of verbal 69-ing in relationships. Ep.69
1w ago00:39:27Tap to summarizeWe frame this weeks episode on “verbally 69-ing” your partner. A mutual, two-way encouragement and compliments in relationships. After a quick “Finish the Line” movie-quote game, we reflect on 13 years together, praising Courtney’s growth in confidence, communication, and trust, and unpacking how our different social styles and internal critics balance each other. We discuss respecting each other’s need to recharge alone, Danny’s evolving willingness to give in (especially around sleep), and a major win with Danny taking over structured meal prep to reduce decisions, waste, and takeout while keeping dinners flexible.

Transcribe →Cleaning Confessions: A Comedic Look at Domestic Duties. Ep.68
2w ago00:36:21Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we open up about something every couple deals with but rarely talks about which is the way our cleaning styles collide, overlap, and somehow coexist without turning into a war.You’ll hear how Danny is the “maintainer”, the person who needs a minimalist, tidy space to feel calm while Courtney is the ADHD hyperfocus cleaner who can deep clean a bathroom like a crime scene tech but leave a tornado of chaos everywhere else. Instead of pretending we’ve mastered it, we break down the real friction points of the unrinsed dishes dropped into a perfectly soapy sink, the half‑finished tasks, the beer cans that magically migrate but never disappear, the socks that come out of the dryer still wet because they’re balled up like stress grenades.But the real lesson isn’t about chores. It’s about how couples with totally different brains and habits can build a rhythm that works not by being perfect, but by being honest, curious, and willing to laugh at the absurdity of it all.Send us Fan MailThanks for tuning in! 🎧 Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram: @dialogoverdramaLike and subscribe on YoutubeNew episodes every Friday.

Transcribe →Hoarding Happiness - Filling life's gaps with trinkets. Ep 67
3w ago00:32:25Tap to summarizeIf you’ve ever wondered whether other couples struggle with the same weird habits, emotional gaps, or comfort‑seeking quirks you do… Episode 67 is the one you’ll feel in your chest.We unpack the real reasons people “gap fill”, after we play a little trivia game!• emotional voids (using kids, pets, or caretaking to feel loved)• mental coping (ADHD spirals, insecurity, escapism)• addiction‑like patterns (shopping, substances, sex, anything that numbs)Danny opens up about video games as his go‑to escape. Courtney shares how she spots the patterns before they become problems. We showcase what long‑term communication actually looks like. It's not perfect, not polished, but honest and workable.Send us Fan MailThanks for tuning in! 🎧 Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram: @dialogoverdramaLike and subscribe on YoutubeNew episodes every Friday.

Transcribe →How would you break up with me? Ep.66
4w ago00:32:58Tap to summarizeThis episode dives into how differently people understand divorce depending on the world they grew up in. Courtney’s childhood of stability versus Danny’s upbringing surrounded by breakups and church‑driven shame. Let's unpack how those early experiences shape the way adults view commitment, conflict, and the idea of “forever.” We totally debate whether breakups should be planned or confronted head‑on, exposing deepest fears about how people behave when love ends. Courtney argues for self‑protection and practicality, while Danny pushes for honesty and character even in the hardest moments. What starts as a discussion about divorce becomes a revealing look at communication, denial, and the versions of ourselves that show up when relationships fall apart.Send us Fan MailThanks for tuning in! 🎧 Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram: @dialogoverdramaLike and subscribe on YoutubeNew episodes every Friday.

Transcribe →Meat & Potatoes - Information versus knowledge debate. Ep.65
May 100:30:51Tap to summarizeIn episode 65 of Dialog Over Drama, Danny Dialog and Courtney Drama riff on how “information” (facts and data) differs from “knowledge” (understanding plus lived experience and application), and why confusing the two makes real conversation difficult especially with cocky people who can’t go deeper when questioned. We connect easy internet access and smartphones to weaker learning and retention, debate how schools discourage personal problem-solving methods, and explore how admitting “I don’t know” can read as intelligence. The conversation turns to therapy: some people collect therapy “information” to claim they’re doing the work, while real progress requires breaking points, processing, and applying insights.Send us Fan MailThanks for tuning in! 🎧 Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram: @dialogoverdramaLike and subscribe on YoutubeNew episodes every Friday.

Transcribe →When I'm sixty-four. Ep.64
Apr 2400:33:23Tap to summarizeOdd proverbs and why Courtney struggles with poetic, indirect language while Dan connects deeply to lyrics and metaphor isn't the only good part of this episode. We kick off with a hilariously pathetic “body cam game,” where Courtney tries to guess what drunk suspects were charged with, including a woman arrested after locking a child in a car and another who beat her boyfriend and then punched a cop while insulting him. We sneak in a conversation about accountability, emotional vs logical thinking during arguments, and how we pause hard conversations when emotions spike, or at least try to.Send us Fan MailThanks for tuning in! 🎧 Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram: @dialogoverdramaLike and subscribe on YoutubeNew episodes every Friday.

Transcribe →Independence and Codependency. Ep.63
Apr 1700:31:58Tap to summarizeIn this episode discuss independence versus codependency and how Courtney feels stuck and increasingly dependent on Danny for basic follow-through (laundry, appointments) and bigger life transitions, even though she knows what she needs to do for herself. Danny contrasts his mindset-driven habit changes (stopping nail-biting, letting go of hatred) with Courtney’s tendency to adopt goals for external validation or trends, then drop them. We unpack how worst-case thinking about the future (including kids) clashes with coping styles.Send us Fan MailThanks for tuning in! 🎧 Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram: @dialogoverdramaLike and subscribe on YoutubeNew episodes every Friday.

Transcribe →Your truth keeps changing. Ep.62
Apr 1000:32:07Tap to summarizeAfter celebrating Danny’s birthday with a packed open mic highlighted by the rare return of his band to the stage after nearly a decade, we pivot into a “life catch-up” and admit there are some struggles. Danny describes the strain of living with long-standing ADHD coping mechanisms that still “work” but now take so much effort. Courtney shares feeling stuck, dissociating, avoiding therapy because she doesn’t know her next steps, and noticing codependent patterns where she waits for Danny to make changes before she acts.Send us Fan MailThanks for tuning in! 🎧 Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram: @dialogoverdramaLike and subscribe on YoutubeNew episodes every Friday.

Transcribe →The Situations Where Honesty Gets Complicated. Ep.60
Mar 2700:35:08Tap to summarizeIn this episode we explore real-life scenarios where honesty isn’t always straightforward.Through a series of situations, we unpack when it makes sense to speak up, when it’s better to hold back, and how context, relationships, and timing all play a role in how honesty is received. Because sometimes being honest isn’t the hard part…it’s knowing whether you should be.We also get into the difference of feedback versus fixing. There can be underlying tension coming across like you’re trying to fix your partner.Send us Fan MailThanks for tuning in! 🎧 Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram: @dialogoverdramaLike and subscribe on YoutubeNew episodes every Friday.
