In Season 2, Episode 2 of the Situationships Podcast, we sit down with the Cork Bros - Atlanta-based filmmakers, photographers, and creative storytellers entering a bold new era with original vertical dramas and documentaries.

Dating today feels flipped. Traditional roles are blurring, expectations are colliding, and nobody seems sure who’s supposed to do what anymore. So we brought in the guys for a real, unfiltered perspective.

We get into:

- “Bare minimum” vs. “princess treatment” vs. “prince treatment”

- Love languages and reciprocity

- Why some men want to be pursued and some women feel pressure to lead

- Effort, energy, and power dynamics — who initiates, plans, and pays today?

The Cork Bros also share their journey from event filmmaking to betting on themselves as creators of emotionally driven vertical storytelling, including their upcoming project Mama’s House.

Plus, we put everyone on the spot with our game “Who’s Supposed to Do That?” If you’ve ever wondered why modern dating feels confusing — or political instead of personal — this episode is for you.

🎧 Tap in for honest male perspective, creative insight, and real talk about love in 2026.

In the Season 2 premiere of the Situationships Podcast, we’re kicking things off with actress, entrepreneur, and content creator Atika Greene - and trust, she came to tell the truth.

From truecasting (showing up as your real self from day one) to AI dating to transparency about intentions, Atika breaks down why clarity is the real flex in dating - and how pretending your way into a relationship only leads to confusion later.

She opens up about surviving a six-year situationship, the emotional toll of “almost love,” and how learning self-respect changed the way she dates now. Plus, Atika shares how her career as an actress has shaped the way she communicates in love.

And of course, we put her in the hot seat with our game “Situationship or Nah?”—where everyday dating scenarios get sorted into situationship, soft launch relationship, or absolutely not (delusion).

If you’re done tricking people into relationships, tired of vague energy, or ready to date with intention in 2026 - this episode is for you!
