Bring Back Shame: A Tea Party with Anthony Voulgaris
About this episode
Maddy Carty and Anthony Voulgaris engage in a chaotic conversation about dating, friendships, and the impact of influencer culture on modern relationships.
I’m joined by Anthony Voulgaris for a chaotic, unfiltered conversation about dating, friendship breakdowns, influencer culture, and the psychology behind modern relationships. We get brutally honest about dating icks, red flags, and why confidence is attractive but insecurity is an instant turn-off. Anthony spills on bad dates, performative niceness, disappearing men, fake apologies, and the difference between being “nice” and being genuinely good. We also dive into friendship drama, petty fights that are never actually petty, defensiveness, accountability, gossip, and why some people would rather justify their behaviour than reflect on it. Plus, influencer culture, social climbing, oversharing online, and the controversial idea that maybe shame needs to make a comeback. Expect messiness, strong opinions, hot takes, and a full tea party on dating, friendships, and modern internet culture.
