I’m joined by comedian Lauren Edwards, aka Live Laugh Lauren, for a chaotic and honest deep dive into the question: should I have kids?

We talk about being happily childfree, motherhood FOMO, r/regretfulparents Reddit, the pressure women feel to become mothers, why parenting has to be an enthusiastic yes, and the reality of choosing freedom, community, disposable income and a quiet house.

We also get into being the fun aunt, building your village, therapy, loneliness, relationships, overstimulation, screen time, sticky toddlers, and why no one is thinking about you as much as you think they are.

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.
