Clout Goblins: Chic Obsession & Content Farming with Sam Zito

About this episode

Comedian Sam Zito joins Maddy Carty to discuss the nuances of modern dating and influencer culture.

Comedian Sam Zito returns to Mads World for a chaotic chat about dating, modern relationships, social cues, influencer culture and the very fine line between being “obsessed” in a chic way and being actually obsessed. In this episode, Maddy and Sam unpack whether men understand dating language, why saying “I’m obsessed with you” should not be taken literally, the rise and fall of influencers, TikTok brain rot, Love Island drama, red and green flags, low Uber ratings, air fryer recipe books, DJs, voice notes, therapy, cheating, exes and why everyone online wants to be famous for absolutely no reason. Listen to Mads World for more conversations about dating, comedy, relationships, feminism, culture and feelings, with new guests every episode. #dating #podcast #datingadvice #influencers #comedy
