She's foul-mouthed and tattoo-covered, not pink velour and bubbly. > I am the foul-mouthed, tattoo-covered, teenage-skater-boy, spicy-margarita counterpart to her pink-velour-wearing, champagne-with-strawberries, bubbly sorority girl-ness. ## Strangers tell her everything Mamet says people open up to her instantly. Waiting in line for coffee, someone will start telling her about their divorce within minutes. > I'll be waiting in line to buy a coffee, and all of a sudden, two and a half minutes in, the person in front of me has told me about their divorce. ## Horses were too niche She pitched a podcast about horses, her lifelong obsession, but companies said it was too specific. She gave up on the podcast idea entirely. ## Cat Cohen's brilliant suggestion On a movie set, comedian Cat Cohen suggested Mamet invite guests to share their own extremely specific obsessions instead. Lemonada loved the pitch. ## Deep group chat material OMG Obsessed launches September 16 with guests sharing their persistent fixations. Jeff Hiller, Esther Povitsky, and Kaia Gerber reveal what lives rent-free in their heads. ## Fridgescaping shook her core Guest Esther Povitsky introduced Mamet to fridgescaping, a decorating hobby. Mamet says she will absolutely not be taking it up after learning about it. ## Biking around Wales going whee Filming Industry's final season in Wales, Mamet bikes everywhere with pure enthusiasm. She reverts to being seven years old, feeling the wind in her hair. > I revert back to like seven, eight years old every time I sit on a bike, and I can't help but just go, like, 'Whee.' ## She needs a bell urgently Her bike bell broke and she almost ran over pedestrians. She started making ding ding sounds with her mouth, but nobody heeded her warning. ## Googling Industry scripts constantly Despite filming the show, Mamet doesn't understand financial terms. She reads scripts while googling stock market jargon and can't tell you how the season ends. ## Not ready for Famesick Mamet hasn't read Lena Dunham's new memoir yet. That Girls era is so canonized and precious in her memory that she needs to leave it there longer. > I think that time is so canonized in my memory as something so precious and of that moment. ## Her dad's a big softy David Mamet is a proud father who never thinks before he speaks. When called out, his favorite response is denying he said what just came out of his mouth. ## Forcing people to be friends Mamet books guests she wants to befriend, hoping they'll fall in friend-love with her. It's a selfish, many-tiered approach to podcast hosting. ## The perfect yogurt exists Aris Greek yogurt from Erewhon costs $7.99 and tastes like eating a cloud. Mamet can't find it anywhere else and thinks she deserves a kickback. > It genuinely tastes like you are eating a cloud, and it's just Greek yogurt, but it's so, and I have never been able to find it anywhere else. ## Key takeaway Zosia Mamet's new podcast OMG Obsessed invites guests to share their extremely specific fixations, from fridgescaping to expensive yogurt.
