Drinking Wine and Talking Shit

S1E6: Sauvignon, Swipes, and Shenanigans: Ghosting, Breadcrumbing, and Modern Dating Drama

AmyandSadie Season 1 Episode 6

Welcome back to Drinking Wine and Talking Shit, where we sip, vent, and laugh our way through life’s chaos. This week, we’re pouring a crisp Sauvignon Blanc and diving headfirst into the wild, messy world of modern dating.

💔 From ghosting to breadcrumbing to orbiting (yes, that's a thing), we’re breaking down the bizarre jargon of dating today. We’ll share real-life horror stories from listeners, unpack the psychological toll of these behaviours, and offer tips on how to survive the dating maze with your sanity intact.

🧀 This week’s pairing: Sauvignon Blanc + assorted bruschetta (because dating, like bruschetta, has its sweet, salty, and surprising moments).

🎭 What you’ll get in this episode:

  • A crash course in modern dating terms
  • Hilarious and cringeworthy listener submissions
  • Pop culture insights like HBO’s Swiped and "Why Modern Dating is Broken"
  • Practical tips to spot red flags, protect your peace, and prioritise self-care

🎤 Interactive fun: We’re reading your dating disasters on air—don’t miss the laughs, the gasps, and the head-shakes of solidarity!

So grab a glass, hit play, and join us as we untangle the madness of today’s dating scene. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to keep the laughs coming every week!

Cheers to surviving modern love, one sip at a time.
