Hosted by comedian Clint Coley (All Def Digital), "Advice From A F*ck Boy" is a romance and relationship-oriented show featuring advice about men, from a man’s perspective.

Comedian Clint Coley has a unique analytical approach to love and romance that’s frankly endearing. He has broken some hearts and is brutally honest about it. The best person to give advice is sometimes the person who's failed at it the most. That’s our host, Clint Coley.
