Now that they've talked it out, disagreed, and come to many understandings, it's time for something new. Ellis Ever After, formerly Dead Ass, is what's next. From ironing out the newlywed blues, to being seasoned spouses who know each other inside and out. Each week, the Ellises discuss what they know now about love, sex, marriage, parenting, money, and much much more. And they've invited their team, Tribble, Josh and Matt to add their two cents.
