One husband. Two wives. Thirty children. And tonight, one of the wives is here to tell it herself. Mykal Coles is a police captain, author, actor, and father of "29 plus one." Jasmine is one of his two wives and the mother of eleven of those children. We didn't want to hear a man explain what having two wives looks like. We wanted to hear it from a woman living it. They start at the beginning. Mykal admits he was a cheater in his first marriage, and that it was his wife Alicia who first brought up plural marriage, years before he was ready for it. Jasmine explains that she was friends with Alicia first, that she said no at the start, and that she left more than once. Mykal stayed present anyway, even while she dated other people. "We don't own people." Then it gets real. A house fire that Jasmine barely made it out of. The PTSD after. The year she stepped away, the friends who used her, and the day she picked her Bible back up, went back to school, and earned a new nursing certification. Mykal took all the children, including three who are not his, so she could breathe. We ask everything. Can the wives have another husband? Do all three share a bed? How do you run a house with that many kids, and who cooks? Is it more work to cheat or to be honest? Mykal talks about driving Lyft on the way home to buy dinner, carrying a 3.8 in film school, and why "the Bible says a man can have more than one wife, that don't mean you should." They also share the hard parts: the pastor who tried to pull his first wife away during counseling, the family wedding that asked "which one is the real wife," the grandfather who gave his blessing before he passed, a backyard boxing match that settled an argument, and why both of them are in therapy. Mykal's therapist asked him one question: if nothing about either wife ever changed, is love enough? His answer is in here. Mykal's book, I Matter, is a self-love guide to being a better spouse, a better parent, and a better you. We are not trying to convince anyone to live one way or another. We ask the uncomfortable questions and listen. Like, follow, share, and subscribe. We love you, Heartthrobs.
Episode 10. A milestone, a birthday, and Beetlejuice in the building. Coop is back in the third chair, in full Beetlejuice, and it's Halloween, which also means it's Lala's birthday. Cake, three candles, then straight into the heavy one. A clip of Dr. Umar and Nick Cannon has been flooding our DMs. The point: white women can go from relationship to relationship in the spotlight and stay "marriage material." A Black woman can have two kids with her college sweetheart, date one person after the divorce, and suddenly she's damaged. We ask who actually gets to love freely, and who gets judged for starting over, for having kids, for dating outside their race, for choosing more than one partner, or for saying marriage was never the goal. Coop goes first on what marriage material even means, why he doesn't believe in a government license for love, and what a life partner looks like when the sex is the easy part. Lala talks about the years she cared about being "wife material" and the day she stopped. We get into the married men in the DMs, the women who don't want kids, postpartum, the village, and how differently a father of six and a mother of six get looked at. It gets personal. Lala's birth story and the white nurse who fought a Black doctor for her. Coop at 18 with a 31-year-old named China, and what his mother said at the door. A 70-year-old client who found out, after 25 years, that her husband had a boyfriend for 18 of them. And the woman who told the side chick "don't tell me nothing, my truck is almost paid off." Word of the Day is autonomy: the freedom to make decisions about your own life, body, relationships, and future without outside control. Then Coop and Koko tell the story of how Beetlejuice won them a Florida trip at a costume contest. Our Open Letter is the whole episode in one message: a 36-year-old divorced mom of two, dating two men who both know about each other, happy, and getting dragged by her mother, her sister, and a brother with three kids by three women, while her cheating ex gets congratulated on his engagement. Signed, Not Marriage Material. We answer her. Your worth is not your relationship status, your past, or how closely your love fits someone else's expectations. Love on who loves on you.

Dating in 2026 is hard enough. Dating apps while polyamorous is a whole different sport. This week Koko and Lala get into the good, the bad, and the downright ridiculous side of swiping while poly. Koko met her last two relationships on apps, including a five-year run that started on Plenty of Fish. Lala is terrified of them, and she has receipts: someone once put her pictures on a fake profile, and a Plenty of Fish date at Jasper's ended with her putting the whole table on his tab. Then it gets wild. Koko and her partner have had their profiles deleted from Tinder and Hinge just for being a couple, and paid for an "ethically non-monogamous" women's event that turned them away at the door and kept the money. Lala tells the story of the gorgeous woman she matched with on HER, who turned out to be the man she was already dating. Koko shares the FaceTime that looked nothing like the pictures, the Dear John letter a rejected match sent to her partner, and a Tagged date from ten years ago that spiraled into mystery dick pics and heavy-breathing phone calls, until a pair of locs gave him away. Along the way: are we in a "poly backlash" after that Cosmo piece about the failed non-monogamy experiment, why friendships end without being failures, and Boochie, the word that keeps crashing our Word of the Day. The real word is "virtuamorous," someone who keeps relationships online only and never meets up, which leads straight into Catfish, Bow Wow, and the Channing Tatum emails. Our Open Letter hits home: a listener got banned from three apps for writing "ethically non-monogamous" in her bio, then matched with a secretly married man on the fourth. The cheater stayed. She got removed. That sends us down the Ashley Madison rabbit hole: an app built for affairs, running since 2002, with 91 million members. We're still not over it. Big news at the end. The Triple Hearts Discord is open. Comment "open" on any of our platforms for the link. We will not ban you for being honest. A Triple Hearts dating app is coming too.

People think the hardest part about sex is the act. We disagree. The hardest part is the conversation before, during, and after. This week Koko and Lala get into the sex talk: the one most people avoid until they are already in the moment. We start with a TikTok story that stuck with us. A woman quietly took PrEP for two years, found out her partner was cheating and HIV positive, and then got called "deceptive" for protecting herself. From there we ask the real questions. When is it okay to ask someone when they were last tested? Why is a grown person scared of a grown conversation? Does sexual compatibility have to be there from day one, or can you fix it with one honest talk? We also get into the stuff nobody says out loud. The "willing participant" versus the eager one. Why rushing kills the mood. How to tell someone to slow down without crushing their pride. Friend-zoning before and after. Whether sexual chemistry alone can hold a relationship together. And yes, grown men on little kid bikes. We had to. In our Poly Word of the Day we try to pronounce "polyerous" and lose to Google. Then our Open Letter brings a serious one: a listener's nesting partner wants to stop using condoms now that they are fluid bonded, but he has started seeing someone new who will not get tested. Is she the crazy one for saying no? Short answer: no. Fluid bonding is a network decision, not a two-person one. Whether you are monogamous, ethically non-monogamous, or still figuring it out, one thing never changes. Healthy relationships are built on honest conversations. Have the hard ones. They can save your life. If you have a question for Open Letter, send it in. It is always anonymous. Like, follow, share, and subscribe. We love you, Heartthrobs.
Coming out isn't one big announcement. It happens again and again, with family, friends, co-workers, kids, and sometimes yourself. This week Koko and Lala get into living honestly while deciding who actually deserves access to your personal life. It opens with a listener who told her mom she has two partners and got asked, "So which one is the real one?" Koko's answer: both of them, and the question insults them both. They cover the news too: Ne-Yo losing endorsements after going public, and Akon saying the number of his wives is "up to one's imagination." Then the harder stuff. Should poly be protected like marital status? Would you tell your job? (Neither would.) Who in your family would be hardest to tell? Lala says her mom, in a family where her grandparents were married 51 years and her parents 38. Koko tells the Love After Lockup story: a man who had one woman pick him up from jail on the 20th, then went back, put the same clothes on, and had the other pick him up on the 21st. They talk kids: what to say when a child asks why someone looks different, the foster baby adopted by two dads, and the boy in Lala's DC program who cried when she hugged him. Word of the Day: polycurious. Coming out usually starts with coming out to yourself. The Open Letter: a mom who won't let the grandkids visit unless the girlfriend isn't around. Lala's answer is a hard no. You can choose honesty. You can choose privacy. What matters is that the choice is yours.

Dating is already complicated. Now add multiple partners, honesty, boundaries, and a whole lot of communication. This week, Koko and Lala talk about what dating while poly actually looks like, past the myths and the judgment. They start with Ne-Yo going public and the backlash he received for it. Then they get into hierarchy, the thing everyone new to poly worries about. Koko tells the story of a woman who went on two dates with her and her partner and decided the next day that the three of them were in a relationship. Her answer to the hierarchy fear: there's a hierarchy until there isn't. Let us get to know you first. Then it gets personal. Lala was out alone at a bar in DC when one of her partners walked in on a date with someone else. He came over and hugged her, and she says that made her like him more. Koko was with the same guy from 16 to 23 and picked her college because he was going there. Lala enlisted in the military because she was sleeping with her recruiter, then found out he had a wife and kids back home. They also try to figure out what solo poly is (Lala's verdict: that's just single), introduce this week's word, single-ish, debate whether jealousy is normal and whether one partner should meet all of your emotional needs, run through their green and red flags, and answer an Open Letter from a listener with two partners and a third who wants more. How do you tell someone you like them, but you're full? Next week is the sex episode.

You got a serial monogamist and a serial cheater in the same relationship. That was never going to work. Wait. That's not this story. This one starts at a movie set. Koko shows up to do makeup. Coop sees her and tells his boy on the spot: I'm in love with the Koko. She posts something. He slides in. She says he's got to get in line. He says, fuck your line. Three and a half years later, they're building a closed triad, a feature film, and a whole life together. But it didn't start clean. There was a so called girlfriend. A birthday party where Cocoa found out she might be the side piece. A New Year's cruise where he was on the phone with her the whole time while someone else was sitting across the table. A cabin trip that was supposed to be the end, and a Valentine's Day that made it the beginning. Episode whatever number this is, Coop joins Lala and Koko to tell the whole story. When did this actually become a relationship, and do they even agree? The first date that went until 4am. The year of playing around that wasn't really playing. The train ride to New York where they built the blueprint. The moment they sat on the phone for hours and said, if we're doing this, here's how. And the closed triad they've been working toward ever since. Here's what else is in it. The girl who bought Koko flowers on the first date, then said oh you coming too when Coop got up to leave. The one who was gorgeous until she opened her mouth and started whining in the backseat. Why people say they want honesty but really prefer the fantasy. The relationship escalator and why nobody has to ride it. His patience versus her discernment, and why she's usually right. And an open letter from someone who just found out her man slept with someone two months into what she thought was already a relationship. He says they weren't official. She says he knew exactly what they were building. Who gets to decide when it started? One rule we don't break. We challenge bad structures and bad arguments, never people for how they love.

A hug. A jealous partner. A pool party gone sideways. Lala said, “Let’s talk tomorrow.” He insisted on right now. And just like that, the ick moved in. In Episode 4, Lala and Koko unpack the moment attraction turns into “absolutely the fuck not.” Is it intuition, unresolved baggage, or someone finally showing you who they are? And once you get the ick, can you come back? From a surprise kiss that touched Koko’s soul to tequila blackouts, public possessiveness, and hygiene dealbreakers, nothing is off-limits. Plus, an open letter asks: Are you throwing everything away over one bad moment, or did that moment tell you everything? Heartthrobs: What’s the smallest, funniest, or most serious thing that gave you the ick? Did they ever recover? DM us. New episodes every Wednesday. We challenge bad behavior, never people for how they love. Entertainment, not therapy. Licensed only for opinions. It’s complicated. On purpose.
