In Episode 7, host Marcus and guest cohost Justice sit down with Christine, a 44-year-old from Texas, to talk raw and unfiltered about dating after divorce, wild rebound phases, and the journey toward self-love.
Christine opens up about two back-to-back marriages, diving straight into relationships without time to heal—and the chaos that followed. From one-night stands and dating apps to therapy, attachment styles, and finally... peace, she shares the messy, hilarious, and healing parts of rebuilding her identity.
🎧 This episode hits if you’ve ever:
-
Jumped from relationship to relationship to avoid loneliness
-
Struggled with anxious or avoidant attachment
-
Said “I’m done with dating apps” (again)
-
Used sex, validation, or distractions to numb heartbreak
-
Wondered how to date with intention after years of doing it wrong
Plus: navigating hookup culture in your 40s, cougar stories, sex toys, narcissists, and why doing the inner work matters before you fall in love again.
Real talk. Zero filters. Tons of laughs.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
