I turned on MTV one day.

just to have on here in the background in the studio, and Catfish was playing.

Now, I'm familiar with the show.

I know exactly how it goes.

Some asshole out there is catfishing some other person, and Nev and Max, the two hosts of the show, at least originally, the two hosts of the show, help them get to the bottom of who exactly is catfishing them.

Usually the story goes like this.

I met him in a Discord server, and now we've been dating for 12 years.

He sent me one picture.

His iPhone never seems to work, so we've never FaceTimed.

And I loaned him $16,000.

But he promised he'd come meet me, and he hasn't shown up yet.

That's usually how the story goes.

It's almost like carbon copy, cut and paste on every single episode.

But it's always fascinating to see how they get to the bottom of who this is.

And then when the eventual confrontation happens between the two people, I would say that 90 percent of the time it is not the person like, you know, it's the profile picture was a catfish.

Their backstory was a cat.

Everything about them was a lie.

But then there's the 10 percent of time when it does happen.

So happened that the iPhone camera was broken.

Yeah.
