About this listen

Ever been used as somebody’s “I used to talk to them” flex? That’s not information—that’s currency. In this episode we crack open the clout economy: how people trade names, rumors, and proximity for status—and how that hustle wrecks dating, friendships, church circles, and the wider Chicago scene.


We decode a viral-style post (“I had shorty on stage before—no biggie”) and show what’s really being bought: attention. Then we map where social currency circulates (DMs, group chats, pews, orgs), why humans gossip (bonding, status hunger, algorithm juice), and the bill it leaves behind—privacy violations, misogyny, and relationships fighting ghosts.
