Y’all should do an episode on the “am I the asshole” forums and the audacity involved in some of those stories
Yes!!
YESYES
YES OMG
The podcast "Two Hot Takes" already does that
YES AMAZING IDEA
I am crying listening to Brittany talk about her changed perspective of her body image. That was so so sweet and profound
Dude same! Something I’m still working on as well, hearing her talking about it is so helpful and it’s nice to know that even people I idolize deal with similar issues
I literally came here to type this exact thing, I’ve heard things said like that before but Brittany just put it so clearly I actually cried because it got through to me 😭
seriously, i think brittany just talked me into a breakthrough
Wow this was a MOMENT. I feel like she managed to change something within me aswell. I feel like my perspective has changed on the matter. Look at all of us healing and growing. Love this for us
brittnay lol
never experienced a "get me my usual" but it's even funnier to me when customers tell the 17 year old temporary worker that they just "lost a customer". like we care lmaoo
I've had a few get my usual costumers. It's very 50/50.
Either they're the sweetest and all the long term staff know them well and get to them before all the newer people start looking around confused. Or they're middle aged people with too much time on their hands that get bent out of shape that the 18-20 year old who just started last week doesn't recognize them
I got that at an icecream store too and he was explaining his 'usual' to me in the rudest way like I knew him and was meant to know lmao
Worked at a deli for three years and had a grown man who I've never seen before come in and ask for "the ham my dad gets"
i’m a licensed vet tech and ppl srsly come in and say they’re there for “bella’s usual”. 1. i’ve never helped you before so why do you think i’d know what that means and 2. we have like 200 bella’s a last name is gonna be necessary.
My sister was so horrendously bullied in high school by this dude who would make fake instagrams every day to tell her to harm herself so I catfished him for so long, made him fall in love, and broke his heart. Today I feel bad about it but compared to the things he did to people it feels justified.
honestly?
should have gone harder 🤷🏼🤷🏼
@@jonroth123 you literally justified bullying. i’m sick of seeing your delusional, drug rambling. for the last time, you are not god, you are not special and what you say, especially when you are as aggressive and disgusting as you, doesn’t mean anything. see yourself out.
@@jonroth123 pls let's not use the "he bullied her cuz he liked her" excuse. telling someone to harm themselves isn't a cute way of conveying you like someone. That's genuine desire to hurt someone.
The whole "oh he just likes you" response to boys/men being harmful is extremely dangerous to uphold
Like put it into perspective. You come home to your little sister, niece, cousin, who ever. Crying, hurting, scared to even post online or go to school cuz a guy is making multiple accounts DAILY to harass her. Would you really think "aww how cute he likes you"??
Harassment isn't love.
GIRLBOSS
@@jonroth123 Respectfully, shut up.
I do not miss being berated by entitled customers, cheers to everyone that has survived customer service 🥂
im 2 years in and my soul has been completely shattered
I dont even work in customer service but the amount of entitled strangers i have to deal with is….
every service worker who has been berated by customers for things out of their control deserve financial compensation lol why are you as a grown man yelling at me at 16 years old in a drive thru
Waitress 8 years now it’s roughhhh
Literally me being yelled at because I can't process a return because it's expired and they have no receipt
hearing them talk about how plus sized women are either fetishised or ignored makes me so sad. i’m not plus sized but i’m disabled so some of the things we experience can overlap i think. like the “you’re pretty for a disabled girl” is something plus sized women have heard or about how our partners could obviously never be attracted to us because we’re plus sized or disabled. it’s like our partners are saints because they’re with us. we’re not charity work. we have so many things to offer in a relationship and there are so many things to like. physical properties really mean nothing in these situations. it’s about people seeing plus sized people as inherently unattractive because they don’t fit a societal norm, disabled people as undateable because we’re infantilised or seen as some sort of burden.
if you are struggling with feeling lovable or your self image isn’t great, it’s okay. i understand. it’s hard not to compare yourself to all the perfect airbrushed people we are bombarded with online, but you are so beautiful and you are so worthy of love whether that be romantically, platonically, from parents or family members etc etc. i’m sending my love to anyone and everyone who needs it 💓
TFW im disabled and plus size
@@DeezN00tz99 me too sis 🤝🫂💗 happy disabled pride month !
@@Solarpunkkait thank you you too!
Wait- I’m literally ab to cry hearing Brittany finally accepting herself, I’ve always seen her like one of the prettiest funniest ppl and was just so frustrated that she wouldn’t see it and now hearing her being ok with her body is just so- I’m so happy for you Brittany
I use the term "Kittenfishing" for people who use their own pictures but look NOTHING like them, cause it's technically not full-on _cat_ fish but it's still a lie
like Rebecca from 90 day fiance! she used an extremely edited picture of herself and when zied(?) showed up he had an edited picture on a shirt and almost didn't recognize her 😳
@@bjoink-yh4hr lol i remember that, i feel like people were staring at them in the airport wondering if her face was the same one on his shirt that she got for him lmao
@@fernandaguadian4857 omg that's the most bizarre & funny scenario LMAO
Them saying “who would let someone use their photos” unlocked a memory for me. I remember on Twitter back in like 2014/15 an insta baddie type girl was helping others catfish sugar daddies with her pics. Like they would @ her and be like please I need a pic of you holding a spoon or with 3 fingers up so he thinks it’s really me, and she basically was like get your bag sis here’s your selfie.
Isn't this Cindy Kimberly/wolfiecindy?
Tbh that is super sweet to me and idk why. Just a girl helping other girlies out lol.
@@smolbean9435 sadly it got on sugar daddy reddit and they were found out rip
this is incredible
if it was a blonde girl, then it was Winter from BGC16
dude the woman who got catfished for 9 years has a 7 part podcast and it’s sooooo interesting. her story is wild
What’s it called?
I just commented this too. What a podcast.
Thank you so much for posting this, I went to listen to the podcast after seeing this comment and loved it !
I just finished listening to the podcast, it was so wild. Thank you for the recommendation
"US Government; tearing families apart" has just a certain delightful, post post irony ring to it.
Catfishes just need to get into online roleplay. You make up a character and pretend to be someone else and write as them just the same, but the difference is everyone involved KNOWS it’s fake and is doing the same thing.
Honestly i think the thrill for them is the lying part
they need to write y/n fanfics
i work at a small chain donut shop called 'peace love and little donuts'. they are small, gourmet donuts. DAILY i tell you, DAILY i get the question: "is that the only size?" or "are they really that small?" i desperately wanna say "no! we hide the bigger ones up my ass, but they're unlocked with a special code!"
LOOOLLL
around 5:00 regarding “irl people can’t be that stupid” they 100% are, my dad was working a gas pump and some lady asked for $35 in her tank. it filled up around $25, my dad brought her the change and she fought with him because “she wanted $35 in her tank” no matter how hard my dad tried to explain that her tank was full and wouldn’t hold anymore gas lmao
I've been catfished before and I call it the chicken story. (It will make sense in the end, trust me.)
Back when I was 18 (she also claimed to be 18) I first started the whole online dating thing on an app called Meet Me and I matched with this girl who I thought was pretty cute and she happened to live less than 10 minutes away from me which is unheard of for lesbians as we usually have more luck 1k miles away. We talked for a couple days, and she wanted to meet, and I was like, score! Send me the addy. She sends it and I hop off in my best and pull up to her house. First, she had a really obscure name, and I couldn't pronounce it and I was too embarrassed to ask how to say it at this point, so I was stressing about how I was going to ask for her if she didn't answer the door.
I walk up and knock, nothing. I knock again, and I see the blinds next to the door rustle and open a little bit and shut like someone peeking through. No answer, so I knock ONE last time before I ditch the situation and she answered. First, she told me she was 5"2 and she seemed not very heavy in her pictures. She was easily 6'6" and a big gal. I was trying to not look shocked because I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but she was a Viking of a woman and was unironically wearing a rainbow fur tail. Easily could have broken my skull open if she wanted. I am scared but too polite to do anything. She invites me inside and she had like, barely any furniture? And her house smelled like feet REALLY bad, and I was like oh god help me. I ignore it, we sit on her single couch in the middle of this barren living room and she is showing me her Tumblr edits on her laptop on a broken tv dinner table because she was proud of them, and I was not into it. Then she proceeded to grab my thigh sexually and her sister joined us at this time and sat on the other side of my and started to do the same thing and I PANICKED. I tried to make an excuse to leave but you know those people who follow you to your car and keep talking? Yeah, she was one of those. So, I lied and said I got called into work and she was like, let me show you something first really quick. I have a cool manga collection in my room! Me, naive and wanting to LEAVE said yes. We walk up the stairs to her bedroom and I was not prepared...
Her room was full of chickens.
Full grown, chickens. At least 20 of them. They shat everywhere. Her bed, carpet, table, shoes, EVERYWHERE. No cages, free roaming bedroom chickens. She showed me her bathroom that was in her bedroom, the bathtubs was full of baby chicks, she was actively breeding them in her bedroom.
I AM TERRIFIED OF CHICKENS THIS IS MY WORST NIGHTMARE.
I'm like, so cool wow okay I am leaving now. I am walking out the door and her mom comes home and gave me a hug and said, I have heard so much about you! Which scared me more and then her mom invited me to a Halloween party they were having later that week and my catfish was BEGGING me to go and I said I would so she would let me leave and I blocked her from the front of her house.
She proceeded to stalk me for about 3 years via the internet.
HOLY SHIT THE CHICKENS WTF
that's TERRIFYING. i am so sorry you had to go through that at such a young age. i hope you're doing better now!
@@bjoink-yh4hr At the time it was but the spicy trauma became a great story, lol.
god i followed this from start to end and it only got crazier
This is so funny. Oh Gosh😂😂😂😂
My wife and I met on Tinder. We met up the same day we matched. I always lost interest after about a week of messaging on the app without meeting. Can’t imagine “dating” someone for months or years without knowing they’re a real person.
thats why you facetime lol my husband and i met on tumblr 6 years ago and we talked online for a year. he lived in uk i live in miami and a year after we met he came to visit and never left lol we got married soon after. and here we are now. i guess its different cuz we met as best friends due to common interests and started dating like 5 months into just being good friends. didnt meet with the sole intention to date yk just happened organically
Exactly. If someone can’t at least FaceTime with you, that’s your sign ✌🏻

@@nayi999 ok ok can i tell you a little secret
6 minutes in and I'm already so triggered. I worked at primark in the UK and the amount of women that would try and return used underware, dresses covered in makeup and kids clothing that had been reduced to like £1.50. It was insane.
i worked at marshall’s in the US. the amount of women that would switch out their used, ratted old target bras with sweat and other unidentifiable stains with the new “nicer” bra, their used, biohazard underwear. the destroyed & contaminated makeup?! the sheer volume of random, used shoes put into shoeboxes… don’t even get me started on working @ party city & being threatened over a halloween costume.
My mum worked at matalan someone tried to return clothes that they had clearly shit in
@@sereena827 😭😭
I worked on the dressing room at Primark and had to deal with drug addicts using and pissing in the booths woooo
Also got screamed at and squared up to by a massive man because I wasn't allowed to let him try on a shirt out the packet because they were too hard to put back in
When you all started talking about how plus size girls are essentially treated as non-existent and that guys only go for the sexy skinny girls struck a chord with me. As a plus size gay man, I can say this happens in our community too. I'm young, not ugly, and told all the time that I have a killer personality; however, I never get given a chance by guys that I find attractive bc I'm not the super skinny twink or the super hot athletic guy. They only want to be friends bc I'm not sexually attractive to them bc I'm a bigger guy. It CRUSHES me sometimes when this happens bc I was raised to not take looks into consideration (the old "it's what's on the inside that counts" way) by my parents. It SUCKS LIKE CRAZY to be rejected but bc of superficial stuff that shouldn't matter makes it even worse.
i hate to say it, but maybe you’re looking at the wrong people? i know of famous gay icons that are or are dating someone “plus-sized.” for example, trixie mattel, or brian firkus, is not necessarily a “conventionally attractive” man. his longtime partner is a gay man that would be considered a “bear,” or a larger gay man, usually with body hair but not as a rule. in the male gay community, there is unfortunately a lot of categorizing by body type, whereas women have categorization by style or personality. the plus side to this? there is _ALWAYS_ going to be a demographic of men that are attracted to Bears, sometimes they’re attracted to _only_ bears. it mostly falls under preference when you think about it that way. there _ARE_ men out there that find _YOU_ attractive just as you exist right now, it just may take you a bit of time to find them. your dating pool could be affected by the general culture of the area you live in or other similar things. like in LA, the men will most likely seek out the common WeHo Twink™️. but most, liberal, diverse places will have plenty of places for you to find your man, you just gotta look a little!
sorry for the ramble, really. i just remember when i had the mindset that bc i’m not skinny with a flat stomach, i’m undesirable to everyone. but i’m small/short (which i find for some reason is desirable? probably similar to tallness) and i have other features that the people i’m seeking tend to be attracted to, like bigger eyes, round face, etc. don’t get me wrong, i’m not in the mirror looking for things about myself. but i promise, there is someone, many people, out there that will adore you and want to engage with you intimately bc of what you look like AND bc of the kind of person you are. _YOU ARE WORTHY._
@@jonroth123 using shane dawson as a comparison isn’t a good idea at all. you can have your opinion on him and worship him or whatever, but there _a lot_ of people on the internet that don’t like him, have problems with him and could even be triggered due to his previous actions. as a fan of shane yourself, i think you could potentially understand why it’s important to consider triggers. also, largely blaming OP for their feelings is not the move. you essentially said “sorry, but you’re wrong to feel that way.” i’m sorry, but shane dawson is too famous for his own good so him finding a relationship with a twink bc he had lots of money and fame and maintaining it through everything that’s been exposed about him bc there’s still money and fame isn’t the flex you think it is.
TL:DR - love shane dawson all you want, but don’t force that predator on anyone else. also, you’re not good at pep talks bc you like to victim blame.
@pixie and @TheMany-FacedGod, also, the term bear normally refers to gay men who are plus sized and hairy. I, however, don't have hardly any body hair so I don't fit in that category either. Plus I've lost a significant (100+ lbs) amount of weight so I unfortunately have places that sag badly with extra skin. Even though I cover those spots with my clothes, I still don't get any attention. I've lost weight, I look cute, and I have a good personality but still I might as well be invisible.
@@leesongweaverlipscomb5425 maybe its okay to be alone? Idk I feel you should have one on one with yourself. You dont have too do it but sometimes its nice to enjoy your own company.
I wish you good luck with finding someone though :D
@@jonroth123 don’t watch Shane Dawson. Gross
i’ve literally been posted waiting for this so i can listen to it while i clean 😅
Literally same
Literally same
So this is a universal experience
Bro samee
Currently cleaning my kitchen lol
Not sure if you guys are taking requests, but a future episode idea or an update to a topic that's been covered - e.g. bronies, there's a lot of wild and silly internet drama on r/hobbydrama. Very niche, but very fun reads about MLP, competitive pen spinning, the Sims, fanfinction, etc. Many posts are about communities you've likely never even thought would exist, yet the drama is always entertaining.
They have an episode on fan fiction
@GhostlyXero OP asked for update videos to previous topics
@@jonroth123 bro are you OK??? RELAX LMAO Jesus Christ. They hardly touched the surface of bronies. Ur mad ur community died get over it
@@hayley902 the person you tagged has been going hogwild in this comment section. they’re commenting under everyone saying pretty nasty things. first, i saw them using shane dawson as some sort of statue on a pedestal to be used as example? then he’s tearing someone apart for something they did when they were 14 that had no detriment to anyone but themselves. the fact that they seemingly think they’re a god makes me think they’re actually unhinged and on a rampage.
@@pixie9499 Shane Dawson apologist/fan is all I needed to know lmao sheesh. they need to get off the internet they are too heated
I’m a plus size woman and my husband is more on the slender side and the amount of people that question our relationship because of that sole reason is astonishing.
W…Why??
Huh??
I don’t understand people 💀
I’m short but chubby and my boyfriend is tall and very skinny and the amount of people who randomly have asked him “is she just.. too big for you or what” is absolutely ridiculous to me
Switched my therapy sessions to Monday so I can laugh with y’all after getting super emotional and honestly best decision I’ve made in awhile
This episode is by far my favorite. As a fat girl who’s been fat my entire life and has wanted to be skinny so badly for male validation, your views on being plus size and what it means to be a woman in a man’s world was so honest and vulnerable and it really struck a chord with so many people. Love you guys
It’s always wild how society try’s to sell if ur skinny all ur problems will go away, I understand how appealing that is to impressionable young people. Everyone is insecure and commenting on peoples weight is almost always wrong
@@Emmysn0w as someone skinny, that’s always struck me as odd. Let me just assure others that being skinny doesn’t make life magically better or anything… A few things might change but it’s no perfect life or anything..
I also get comments on my weight because I’m more on the bony side.. so many ED comments or assumptions.. people just suck regardless.
(I hope this isn’t seen as hijacking your comment or taking away from the original comment. I just wanted to show I agree and share some of my own experience 😭)
@@KingOfGaymes skinny people, we understand it might be a little bit difficult sometimes, sure you might get a couple comments in your youth and mentally struggle just like all of us. I don’t know many skinny people understand the harm that society causes on plus sized people though… I’ve had to explain this to my boyfriend because we are on the opposite sides of the scale as well. I am a plus size women with lipedema a fat cell disease, he has another auto immune disease and a fast metabolism so he is slim. Sure he’s gotten some comments, but it’s not the same and my constantly bullying even as an adult +medical oppression + physical everyday struggles + mental struggles + historical struggle + financial struggle +equality struggle etc. If you’re ever genuinely curious you should look up a introduction to fat liberation.
My boyfriend got the medical treatment he needed and deserved with adequate timing and care.
It took 22 years of being ignored for me to get diagnosed because the doctorS told me I was just fat my whole life. ( which caused eating disorders, depression and suicidal thoughts all throughout my life of course)
I’m still fighting for my treatments and the medical help I deserve, in fact I’m having to move to another state for it etc. in my adulthood in still fighting for disability, fighting to get my disease recognized, fighting to get marriage equality and of course, fighting so little girls like me won’t have the words “thunder thighs” carved in their minds about them since elementary school. I’m not trying to invalidate you, your feelings are very valid please just understand that the fat struggle is one you don’t know.
@@KingOfGaymes your all good I get comments saying I should eat more and it makes me feel shitty too
@@Solarpunkkait yeah skinnier people telling plus size people about how they still have problems is giving men telling women that their life as a man sucks too so sexism must not be that bad.
This podcast is so, so good for my adhd brain, when a podcast is about one singular thing I get so dissociated so with all the side chat, it makes my brain feel good 😂
i just really really need to say that brittany's whole talk about her body image was super fucking empowering for me. i still need to work out my own issues in therapy one day but even just hearing people talk about it like this is just... very important, idk, she put into words something that i've been thinking about for a while now.
love the lighting this episode
Idk why Brittany looks like she's green screened in 😂
“The thought of seeing myself at a bar” okay but when the bar has a mirror at a weird angle and you catch your reflection thinking it’s someone ugly near you for a second and then REALIZING ITS ACTUALLY YOU
cant relate, never been to a bar, but i still liked cause out of all self deprecation the fact that it was done completely unintentional is funny as fuck
I've literally had this happen to me just not in the same setting but the Is seeing your own reflection and thinking it was someone else And having those immediate judgmental thoughts pop in your head and immediately after realizing it was yourself that's quite the roller coaster
I've recently had to come to terms with being fetishized for my size. Every single guy I've talked to I had to wonder if this was a joke or if I was being catfished. And the few men I have been with told me they specifically only want bigger men. It's weird and I still don't know how I should feel about it, but it is something that people like me have to deal with. Thanks for bringing this up.
@@jonroth123 dude calm down and get out of somebody else's business. 2 people can have 2 wildly different experiences. one does not invalidate the other. go outside.
@@kaemincha bro i've seen this jonroth person get absolutely flamed in these comment section and i always can't find their comments. bro just wants that sweet dopamine from those notificationa
The way I cackled at “turns out war did not soften hew heawt” 😂😂 I can not
So true about the stigma towards plus size women. In high school, my friends would tell me “so and so guy is so nice! he’s so funny!” And that was not my experience at all bc said guy did not treat me with the same respect as he did my skinnier, more conventionally attractive friends.
Just wanted to say I tried holding an ice pack to my chest to help with anxiety and omg Sarah you are a lifesaver for mentioning that a while ago
Brittany always looks beautiful but she’s just glowing in this episode
I'm the fat girl in several friend groups and I totally know that feeling of guys being assholes to just me (or just ignoring) and being suuuuper nice to my hot friends. They're still creeps to my friends so I'm not saying it's worse for me, just obvious who they are. In fact I think this is why I'm scared to talk to "attractive" men because I don't feel like I'll be accepted even as a friend.
I truly believe that it may actually have been easier to date as a plus size girl though, because I wasn't sifting through creeps who just wanted sex or liked me only for my looks. Those are still there, but way less. I'm not ugly, but it is so different than my friend's experiences and what they've told me about. Luckily, I found the perfect man who encourages me to be who I want to be and not care about what others think and I hope everyone who wants that finds it.
i feel this so hard. going out with my friends and they get hit on all the time, never me. ofc i get the random catcall from assholes but nobody actually interested in talking to me. its kind of a weird headspace to be in... obviously i just am who i am and shouldnt seek that kind of validation, but it can still feel bad sometimes. completely agree with you about it being potentially a positive too.
Love that you touched on parents living through their children. When Brittany brought up Toddlers and Tiaras I immediately thought of late Kailia Posey who lost her battle with depression just a few months ago. The cutest gif of her as a child on the show went totally viral for years 🥺 I still see it sometimes and think of her
bro i remember working at starbucks & a family came thru; this grown ass man had the audacity to ask me for a cold hot chocolate... i paused, sighed, and asked “what size for that chocolate milk?”
I was listening to this while at work and that first burp just echoed through the whole lobby 😂😂😂
They legit give me jumpscares 😭
me and this old business man across the lobby made eye contact while the burp just echoed 😂😂 I know he was scared shitless
@@nunpho jump scares? Nah it’s just a spicy surprise ✨
Why is this episode hauntingly dark 😂💀
Nvm it gets fixed ig 💀
I actually have had a Goldfish since September. A lot of fish are capable of living quite some time but die quickly because a lot of people do not know how to take care of them. It takes maybe 5 minutes to talk about it with the person that is selling them to you.
thank you for pointing that out!
not every pet salesperson is knowledgeable about the animals they’re selling. everyone should do their own research when getting a pet
@@miraenofficial this is true. I was lucky enough to have an awesome pet store near my home that had great employees. A simple google search is super helpful as we though. I did that quite a few times for some small questions.
yes! goldfish can live 10-20 years if properly taken care of, and they get huge! people just don’t care enough about them, it’s very sad.
Absolutely! I got a goldfish in early 2018 from the fair (I don't condone my actions, I was like 12) and he's still thriving! Currently in a 20 gallon tank and is about 6-7 inches long now.
when i was in high school a girl i hardly knew used my photos to catfish her boyfriend to see if he was cheating on her, but it grew into something sm worse. i found out about what she was doing because her boyfriend added me on snapchat & told me he has been talking to “me” for about a year. once she found out that i knew what she was doing she started sending threats to people at our high school & random people on the internet while posing as me & she sent nude photos (of herself btw) to everyone at school pretending it was me. sooo for about 3 years after this i received death threats from people because of the things she said to them posing as me, and there’s OF accounts with her photos that are claimed to be me.. high school was great.
wtf ??? i am so sorry this happened to you
If she’s saying the nude pictures are of you, and you were a minor when she claims they were taken- you can report her for possessing and distributing child p.
that's one example of how dangerously the internet can be used. i'm sorry that happened to you but i know you can leave it behind. you're stronger than all of this. ❤️
@@7thCobweb ❤️ thank you
@@thicciesmalls i was 18 at the time unfortunately. i did go to the police for help because the dean & principal wouldn’t do anything & the girl gave the police some sob story i guess, so she got off with a small ticket... i think like $100. my therapist told me to sue, but i was young at the time so the thought of suing her kinda scared me. would have definitely gone down different now though.
omg, i remember years ago there was a model on twitter who would take photos for people using her to catfish, like she'd reply to people asking with photos of her touching her nose or holding up blank signs or certain fingers and tell them to go wild. also the amount of times i let myself get catfished for laughs as a teenager because everyone used the same alex evans photo.
i remember this!!!
That shits hilarious
Wolfie Cindy lol
There's a great podcast about the British woman who was catfished by her cousin, it's called Sweet Bobby. Y'all NEED to listen to it, it's absolutely insane!!!
I honestly have the most insane catfishing story from someone who was in my friendgroup, he told us all he had a gf for 4 years and she had a whole fb profile and long list of friends he created and interacted with. Me and my friend didn't buy it so we dug in and figured out her profile, and all of he facebook friends and family were fake. we found the real girls twitter and found out where she was from, had her message him to stop ect. Once she did that he publicly killed her from the fake brother's account by commenting on her fb wall. The fake brother TAGGED our 'friend' (so he tagged himself) being like 'damn bro, so sorry I knew u loved her' and because he types like an idiot he literally wrote ' she got surgery n her heart stop', I say that often to this day. I mean I wish I could tell u this story in full bc there are so many delicious details and I'm rly good at telling it but not typing it anyway love u and Brittany yes- to everything u said this podcast.
She got surgery n her heart stop 😩😆
1:05:07 there’s been studies done about this, there’s even a phenomenon called GSA (genetic sexual attraction) which describes an intense sexual attraction between two related people who meet for the first time in adulthood after being separated
Even though I'm a gay cis white dude, it broke my heart hearing about both of you talk about how you feel invisible or worthless in the eyes of men when they deem you ugly or unfuckable.
I've been in a slump in my life lately where I'm afraid to make friendships, even platonic ones because I feel like I have nothing to offer. I'm overweight but not even close to obese, but I've just been conditioned to measure worth in terms of physical attractiveness. I don't feel like I have any, so I preemptively decide for other people that they wouldn't like me, or I'm not worth getting to know.
I know I’m just a random stranger on the internet but I’m sure you’re absolutely worth getting to know. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. Your worth is not defined by others, it’s defined by you. I hope things get better soon and you can get through this 🤍
Re: the second part of your comment - Me too. You are worth getting to know, though. we both are
On the topic of people in the real world being stupid, I work at Starbucks and today a guy ordered a double espresso and then said “how many shots of espresso are in that? five, right?”
WHAT!? 😭 as someone who used to work at a coffee place this genuinely made me so mad

I thought my app was being annoying as usual and showing a dot like there’s new content but I’ve already watched last week’s episode, twice. Haha but yasssss here we are on another Monday baby, fuckin it up 🤣👏🏼🤣♥️😘
"Introduced a smaller hamster to the cage, the other hamster ate it then died".... why is that the exact dynamic between brittany and sarah.

Brittany: “All the PUS in dairy 🤭”
Me, halfway through a bowl of ice cream: 😳
i'm glad you guys had the side rant about being a plus sized woman. I'm over here honestly scared to lose any weight because of scary men (I'm not in therapy at the moment, it's on the to-do list). like, the only reason people would come up to me is if I lost weight. but I think I'm finally getting to the point where like, I'm fine alone. i don't want people who aren't going to be interested now to come up to me later. i do need to get healthier because I can feel my body kinda screaming at me, but I don't really want to lose weight anymore. the same could be said for me not wanting to fix my acne anymore. i'd rather walk around and scare most people off with my face. that's fine - it keeps the people not worth my time away
i love you guys but who tf thought i'd be smart to put a skylight in the studio
throwback to the good ole days as a closeted child when i would make myself a boy on online games so i could date girls
oh my god my experience with stardoll is finally clicking...
meeeee haha
I used to hate Mondays until this podcast I do be so excited to leave work just just listen to this in bed I watch as if I’m sitting down to watch a movie love u guys thanks for this masterpiece with all my favourite topics x
I have a really weird story about catfishing. So I catfished my current S/O at first, we are in our early 20’s now, but we originally met playing online games together when we were 14 and 15. Being 14 on the internet I was SUPER scared and made this entire false identity named Jessica. Fake pic, claimed I was 16, different state, parents, the whole deal. Eventually I got so fearful of my lies catching up with me I just blocked him on everything, at this point I was 15 years old. Flash forward 2 years when we are 17 and 18 and turns out he is friends with one of my friends and we get back in contact. After talking for a while I trust him enough and tell him everything about who I am, show him a picture of me etc. He didn’t care that I cat fished him originally at all, and he just loves me for me. That is an extremely simplified version of this story but thought I’d share, we have been dating for 3 years now! (EDIT: Typos)
omg that's probably the most wholesome story about catfishing i've ever heard
good for u
@@jonroth123 you must be fun at parties
@@jonroth123 That's cool but I ain't reading all that, stopped after you compared the actions of fully grown adults on a tv show to something that happened between minors. As mentioned that is not the full story.
@@jonroth123 she was 14 bruh
Brittany I loved the way you speak about feeling comfortable in your body!!! As I’ve gotten older realising that the things I used to feel unhappy with are actually my best asset in filtering out the creeps who aren’t looking for a human woman has been SO liberating.
My ex husband catfished me. He told me that he bought an apartment that he rented out for someone. But really he was secretly living with another woman in that apartment and for a year he pretended to be a student who was living in the apartment my ex owned. He even send a christmas card to our family from that ”student”.
holy shit?? that’s so elaborate how do people have the energy and time
Love the implication that in the modern age when we get hit by buses and die we can text people and let them know
Absolutely felt my heart glow when you were talking about weight as a woman and how people value you based on it and the pros and cons. I currently enjoy eating more yummy food and being whatever weight and knowing my partner loves me for me as a person not just because i meet a certain beauty standard. I also felt from a gay male friend that because i wasn’t “hot” they didnt value me as a friend as much as others. I felt bad for thinking that but feel so validated hearing this.
I was once catfished for a solid year in high school after meeting my dream British man on IMVU. He always said his camera was broken, and I just accepted that like the boob I was. We talked for months until my parents got a new laptop- YES- and I forgot my Skype info. Never to be seen again was my sweet Sean. 🙃😂
When I worked at Kmart in the clothing dept someone used the changing stalls as a toilet and shit everywhere. Complained there wasn’t any toilet paper. Legit.
The reason why hamsters die so much and eat their babies is really sad actually. They know they don’t have adequate space or care, so they basically abort the babies to save them a life of starvation. Hamster cages are never enough space, hamsters are constantly malnourished and stressed and that’s why they die so easily. We basically abuse these tiny animals to the point of death and making them turn to killing their own offspring for mercy. This whole segment made me really sad while you were laughing about it, I know you didn’t know but it’s really sad.
yea especially when a lot of us have been working so hard to stop misinformation and then someone with a big platform undos all that work
omg
Same I got really upset listening to it cause I’m also someone that’s extremely interested in proper hamster care and working at a pet store I see people that joke about how their past hamsters die and I have to calmly explain that they are very fragile animals that cannot be housed together, the hamster balls are unsafe, and the only suitable “cage” sold at a pet store for them is a 40 gal breeder tank with a minimum of 6”(10” preferred) bedding depth. So many people don’t understand that hamsters are often neglected or down right abused because these companies do not train their employees correctly in the actual care of these animals. I have to constantly educate my coworkers on stuff that’s basic information in hamsters and I’m lucky enough they are accepting to the information! I really wish all pet stores would just ban the unsafe products, small cages, and housing hamsters together……maybe all these sad ass hamster deaths wouldn’t happen😭
I got catfished in middle school by my best friend lmao. I was "in love" with this stupid boy that clearly wasn't good for me but I was naive. She made up these two dudes (one for me and one for her; they were brothers) to try to get me to dump the stupid boy. I would email and text this beautiful dream boy off and on. She would tell me stories about how she hung out with them. (I had strict parents and couldn't do much). I can't remember how long this went on. My friend had an incredible story about these dudes that would be too long to type but I bought into it lol. To summarize, these dream boys were in a band and traveled a lot (LOL). To this day, my friend (we've grown up and move on in our lives) has never admitted that she catfished me. I'm not mad because I didn't get too emotionally invested but its funny to think about now. I think she had good intentions. I haven't built up the courage to ask her about it now that we are adults.
THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO???
When i worked at a walmart a lady asked what cigarettes taste best and i said i dont smoke and got yelled at by her for “not knowing my supply”
My friend and I had to do a report on Prince Edward Island in middle school and all the articles we found were boring so we made a fake profile on a Canadian dating site. Matched with a dude and asked him a bunch of questions about his “hometown” and the island in general because i said I was “planning on moving there this spring”
It always stayed innocent thank goodness because omg I was like 13 but we talked every day after I got home from school. I ghosted him after a week and deleted the profile. Sorry, Jack. Hope you found love.
Brittany: What happened in the world in your lifetime that should be a Netflix special?
Sarah: Well, I’ve had lots of moments that could be interesting.
Brittany: No not about you, just things that happened while you’ve been alive.
Sarah: I guess my journey from conservative Christianity to being queer.
Dead haha. This is the level of confidence I aspire to lol
Brittany mentioning her experience with a homeless person peeing on the wall at Baskin made me think of the time my bartender boyfriend let a homeless lady use the nice hotel/restaurants bathroom he worked at. Later they went to clean the bathrooms and they found one of the stall doors had been ripped off and she had pooped on the floor. Things like this happen all the time.
i had one lady, don’t know if she was homeless to be fair but she shit in her hand and wrote her phone number on the mirror
The Hamster talk :c They die easily because people abuse them…. They don’t market proper care for them.
Exactly!
They should do an episode on urban dictionary, the history of it and who comes up with the slangs that we use every day. I feel like it would be an interesting episode and they would make it so funny by looking up all the different words. Love you guys
I work at Disney World and have soooo many guest stories. Every time I think "there's no way another guest can top this"... another guest comes along and is just more crazy.
PS Hamsters die easily because most are in horrible living conditions and are poorly bred!
My aunt got catfished, the photos they used were of a guy who has consistently been used to catfish people to the point that he got SUED by different women and he won the case bc it wasn't him, he's now deleted all social media but his photos are still being used
As someone who's also worked at a restaurant I can absolutely attest to the stupidity of my fellow humans with one of my favorite lines.
Me: what kind of dressing for your salad?
Customer: Yes
Me: 👁️👄👁️
I had several grown men ask me what avocado was….
I met a person on MovieStarPlanet a few years ago (do not laugh at me please I beg of you) and we started texting, sending pictures. One day his sister texted me that he had slit his wrists and died. Turns out he never existed and I was talking to the sister the entire time 💀 She used some pictures from a non-famous Belgian model and I asked her why she did it and she said she was bored 💀💀
My mom is a beautiful plus size woman in her 50s that is still active with my dad who is half her size and neither of them care. She is ‘my Lizzo’ and I aspire to be her when I am that age. Queen
For the whole “how would you contact someone in the 70’s & 80’s if you weren’t home”. I’ve talked to boomers about this and apparently people would use landlines at the diners/facilities they were at or pay phones. Wild times.
i love that this comment reads as if boomers are a long lost civilization that archeologists are piecing together
This is like the only podcast I ever watch/listen to, these two are just the absolute best & I love all that they do!
Uh oh. I have bad news- I catfished someone I originally met on club penguin for almost a decade. Lol it haunts me to this day. I’m sick and twisted hahahahahahahahahahahah omfg
Came to TH-cam from my podcast app to say this: Y'all just reminded me of high school trauma with the whole plus size conversation. As a teenager (I'm now 25), I had a best friend who was very conventionally attractive, and when we'd go in public people would constantly come up to us to tell her she was so pretty and they wouldn't even acknowledge me standing next to her. A lot of times it was adult women. It was like I was invisible. When she and I talked about it, I learned it made her feel just as bad as it made me feel. She didn't think she deserved the attention and she felt dehumanized by it just as much as I did. When people only treat you a certain way bc of how you look (whether it's for being pretty or not based on their standards), you're being treated as an object either way.
I’ve been 3 forms of catfished thru the years.
In 2010 I was catfished by someone who got close to me, we “dated” and then they killed their fake persona off.
Had photos of myself (when I was a scene queen) used by others. I was just told about this, I had never actually came across the accounts myself.
And actually recently (November 2021 to current) have been ACCUSED of being, a group of not connected people’s, catfish. Although I provided proof I had no connection, and even one of the people talked directly with me for weeks and specifically said I was not the same person and they could tell. One of the ladies (literally 48 year old woman) is still claiming it’s me and stalks me on tiktok.
About the beginning convo and the homeless man pissing on the wall: One time my boss came back shitfaced and vomited all over the bathroom. Next morning at FIVE THIRTY AM a customer found it and my 15 yr old co-worker had to clean it up
I catfished my classmate for a week, but then she was like "is that you?" so i hopped on the catfish account and was like "why would you think that I'm fake? You clearly don't trust me and that's not how people build relationships" and broke up with her. She never brought this up after
Gaslight, Gatekeep, and Girlbossing like a true pro 😩✨
The only reason I know the day of week is because of them posting on mondays
Man, I wish so badly that these episodes were, like, 4 hours long or something! These are literally the perfect background noise while I'm commuting, working, etc. I've literally listened to each episode at least twice. Love love LOVE you guys!
I could listen to people talk about their service jobs ALL DAY, that was my fave part of the episode lmaoo
As a plus size woman and an ED survivor thank you for that lil part bout body image and being plus size it made me feel seen. Much love!
My husband's friends thought I was catfishing him after refusing to do phone calls, vid chat, and a meet up for 4 years. I have severe social anxiety and body dysmorphia. After we did start seeing eachother his friends were shocked to find out I was a real person. We've been together for 12 years.
Ahh my weekly garage smoke session can finally have the background noise it deserves🥰
My best friend in high school was catfished by this guy on Facebook and then YEARS later they reconnected and she ended up cheating on her bf with him and now they’re engaged with two kids living down in Florida lmao
I've been following Sarah for like over a year and JUST realized she was the waitress girl smh
in elementary school my brother used the local library computers to catflish a woman on Christian mingle and told her to meet him in Seattle on the top of the space needle and never showed up and i always think of that lady and feel so bad
I got catfished a few months back and it turned out to be this creepy old guy that sent me his pics when he was 30 (I’m 25) so I left the date and blocked him after he proceeded to BLOW up my phone asking why I left, and now about once a week I get a text from him from a new number each time with either pictures of my car that he’s taken or him telling me he found out where I work and that he’s coming to see me. So yay for catfish stalkers 😄 it’s not a hot girl summer without a stalker
Be safe out there girl!!!
The fact that police won’t do anything about the pictures and texts is wild, too.
For anyone interested, there is a podcast series about the "how could you be strung along for nine years?" radio host person that goes in depth about how she was a victim of emotional abuse along with being catfished: Sweet Bobby. I felt the need to come to her defence a little when one of you said something like "that must be a seriously lonely person." Prolonged emotional abuse can really mess with your sense of reality; it's extra bewildering and scary to think that abusers can find targets at a distance and/or through a screen. Not to mention there is virtually no legal protection for that type of abuse. I recommend checking out the podcast series to learn more about how this person was so deeply taken advantage of. Thank you for this episode and for generally being awesome people! x
when i was like 10 i “pretended” to be a boy on google+ and had this whole fake background and shit. yeah turns out i’m trans
I had a super strong edible last night and thought that nothing was real. My mum was so good with keeping me calm and happy, she listened to me babble about everything. I’m still a bit buzzy but this is a good way to end my day. Thank you
I too had hamsters growing up, and I will say as a child, I should not have been in charge of a small life form. BUT when my brother and I were 6-7. We watched Stewart little and we wanted pet mice so badly. My mother took us to the pet store and got each of us one mouse. We housed them together, and they were fine for a little while.
Then one day, my mom was cleaning the cage while my brother and I were at school. And she found one of the mice had no head, blood everywhere in the cage, and the other mouse, covered in blood still eating the head of the dead mouse. The one mouse had killed the other, decapitated it, and started eating the evidence. My mom ended up cleaning up the mess, and took the mouse to the pet store and returned them all before we got home from school. My mom never told us till years later.
What did she say??? Better not be that they “ran away”.
56:39 once i went in to get my sprained ankle checked on and they sent me to “PT”, i had thought they meant physical therapy. nope, they meant a personal trainer😭🤚🏼
Brittany's serving yassified Lucius Malfoy💅✨😼

I'm so glad for this conversation about body image and weight. For me it's been very interesting to see how I'm starting to care less and less about thinness the more I accept that I'm fully just GAY. Like, when i still thought I was bi i wanted to get muscular but there was always this clinging self hatred at the idea of not being also very lean. Now that I'm finally accepting the idea that i just don't like men like that, im also acclimating to the concept of being someone's big beefy wife. Muscles and fat and all. And it's such a relief
When I was in high school, one of my best friends at the time used to catfish people frequently. One day, she told me she got caught by one of the girls whose pictures she used and acted like they were in contact. She showed me the girls profile, then that girl added me. I thought she was really pretty and she was super nice to me. Very naive 15 year old me thought she was actually real and we started flirting.
This friend and I are hanging out one day and I’m texting the girl, only to realize my friend is getting notifications from me. She pretended to be a girl she was already pretending to be.
In a surprising twist, this friend and I started dating because she was one of the few other queer girls in my town and I was very desperate for sapphic love. Not surprisingly it lasted a week or two and we broke up. Oh, and we had both dated the same guy months before and both broke up with him, so when this girl and I were dating he spread nasty rumors about us both to the football team to try to heal his bruised ego. Anyways yeah there’s one of my many catfishing stories 😅
i was in a kik group chat with a bunch of online friends and two of them started online dating for two years, but the guy would be really sketchy never want to facetime or meet etc. they did end up facetiming a few times so everyone thought he was real. the girl took a trip from PA to florida with her family to meet him and when she got there to meet, he never showed up and claimed he was on the way and then his phone died and didnt have the address so he turned around and went home. i forget how we eventually figured it out but turns out he was a lesbian woman who had been catfishing us for several years using pics of her friends brother. and the times they facetimed she got the brother to do it (i remember her saying how he acted so weird on the phone and thats cuz he had never spoken to her before or knew who she was) they exchanged nudes and everything . and my friend was college age at this time. the sad part is i stayed friends with the catfisher after this happened beacause i still liked our long online friendship loll a couple other peoepl stayed friends with her too...
God I literally love you guys. Y’all and Tom holland are my escapes from reality
These two and Tom holland are so different, love that
i HATE when people come in as regulars and expect u to know their order, like a. why would I care enough about u to memorize that? + I see so many people every day u aint special b. they're usually the rudest and most self centered customers like gtfo
