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. When it comes to relationships, most advice comes from women, for women. What about the male perspective? What if a man takes the mic and explains how we really feel and what we think? 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.
