Got some sh!t to say?

In this episode, Marko and Steve dive into one of the most frustrating modern dating behaviors: breadcrumbing. You know the type—just enough attention to keep you interested, but never enough to actually go anywhere. The guys break down what breadcrumbing really looks like in action, why people do it (and yes, they call themselves out too), and how to spot the signs before you get too invested.

They get into the psychology behind why breadcrumbing is so hard to walk away from, and debate whether it might actually be worse than ghosting. Plus, they unpack the blurred lines between genuine interest and inconsistent communication, and why so many of us keep responding even when we know better.

To wrap things up, Marko and Steve tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.
