I really enjoyed Meme. I hope you have her on again. She was so fun and I know she would be a hilarious playing all the regular show games. When you guys talked about scams I remember there was a time I’d fuck with scammers when I was bored. One particular time some guy messaged me on Instagram to tell me I was cute. I usually block those types of messages instantly but I was bored and looked up his profile and noticed he was a middle age white guy and he only followed women and his boo said single father in England. And there were just random pics on his account. I knew this guy was a scammer and I had time that day. I told him thanks and I noticed his profile said he had a kid. I told him that I don’t like kids and if he wants to be with me he has to get rid of the kid. He immediately said okay. I also told him that I don’t like broke men and he said he would take care of me. Basically I made all these weird conditions he kept agreeing to and finally i told him he’d have to send me 1000 dollars to finish the conversation. He blocked me. But I had a great laugh.
MeMe Cherry was such a fun guest! I remember Rod posting on the socials a clip that he was a guest on her show and in my head, I was thinking, who is this host with her girls sitting out on the front porch for all of us to see?
I thank God that I wasn’t catfished when I put myself out in the universe to date, but I came across alot of fake profiles. You can pick up on some context clues when they are talking. One time, I was talking to a guy pretending to be from New Orleans. I asked him his favorite foods and he said, pizza, hamburgers, Chinese food and fries. That gave me some pause because you’re saying that you are from New Orleans and you’re not talking about any crawfish, your granny’s e’toufee, gumbo or Chickory coffee?? Or the guy that tried to convince me that there was an Army base in Anderson SC. I was like, I’m a Army mom and there is no Army base in Anderson. He really tried it, LOL!
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.
