This was a super duper episode. Give Rod and Karen an Emmy right now! Came through with all the fire questions that I was like you reading my mind, I needs to know? Shout-out to Meme Cherry, fantastic guest and what a killer podcast name. That’s just beautiful. You love to see it!
I got catfish plenty stories. The one that always gets me dying was during the lowest moment in my visa struggle days, while in Lagos, I received an email telling me that “she” saw my photo and felt that a handsome guy like would be good to her. She was going to leave her wicked family in Russia and move in with me. I didn’t have my own place, living with my cousin and 4 of his friends, sleeping on the floor. This so called Russian kept wasting beautiful poetry on me. I didn’t know what Catfish was, but we were having a great laugh at this “crazy person ” who after I explained my living conditions still wanted to come be with me. I know my sexiness has a strong effect but C’mon now (I looked like them feed African kids commercial). I got bored before the eventual money request arrived and blocked the email. My cousin was also friends with a few Nigerian Princes, so when in doubt, I asked them “is this you or your rival?”
I mean, why are you so sure it was a catfish situation and not a lady who was really into you? I’m mean, it’s too late now, but maybe it was some sad Russian lady really in love with you or whatever and ( ad some unlikely steps here) this is how we got Putin.
Sweet guest.
The. Cat fish story is really educational. I’m glad she at least didn’t loose money!
Maybe I should watch the social fishing documentary.
Always suspicious when a romantic interest all of the sudden starts talking about crypto, but I get it, you don’t want to believe it in the moment, and that’s their game. It’s good to talk about it and take the shame away.
Gaining weight in the US is real, when I was in school, it was a known fact that exchange students who went to the US for a year came back with at least 30 or 40 pounds more. It was so known, that people ( minding your own business about someone’s body wast not a thing yet, it was the 90 ties)
Like teachers made comments like: oh, you got fat? Fast food every day? I see. Never mind, that’s that US weight gain, it will go away on its own in a few months.
And it was true.
Five Stars for this episode. Thank you MeMeCherry, for sharing your catfish story.
