    Vertical Soap Operas Are Taking Over Social Media (Billion Dollar Industry) w/ Sarah Moliski

    She throws wine in people's faces, pushes pregnant women down stairs, and steals werewolf sperm for a living. Sarah Moliski is one of the biggest names in vertical soap operas, the micro-dramas blowing up on TikTok and Instagram that you've probably watched at 2am and don't want to admit it. Two years ago, actors wouldn't even put these on their résumés. Sarah's own representation told her not to do it. She did it anyway. Now she's one of the most sought-after actresses AND casting directors in the vertical drama space, a lane she essentially built for herself. In this episode, she gets real about all of it: ✅ What vertical soap operas are and why they're addicting ✅ How much "vertical legends" actually make ✅ The insane production pace (30 pages a day) ✅ Why Disney and Hollywood are investing in this space ✅ Behind-the-scenes drama, hookups, and egos ✅ Her philosophy: "Be cringey until it works"

    How AI Slop, Meta Glasses & Fake Pranks Are Ruining Content (w/ Brad Podray)

    Clout Nine sits down with orthodontist-turned-satirical creator Brad Podray (formerly Scumbag Dad) to tear apart the dark side of influencer culture, fake pranks, and AI-driven content. Brad breaks down how content aggregators steal from creators, why “prank” creators are exploiting workers and vulnerable people, and how meta glasses + AI are pushing us into a creepier, dumber content era. He also shares how being financially independent (thanks to his orthodontics career) lets him say what most creators are too scared to admit about brand deals, burnout, and the pressure to stay “relevant” online. If you care about influencer ethics, creator mental health, or the future of AI content creation, this episode is a must-watch.
