Irish comedic duo The 2 Johnnies have released a third episode of their 'GAA Catfish' podcast series, detailing their investigation into an alleged online deception and its fallout. The series follows Johnny 'B' O'Brien's experience of being catfished by a fake Instagram account posing as a woman named 'Cora O'Donovan'. The podcasters uncover potential patterns of deceit involving multiple fake profiles and raise awareness about the prevalence of online impersonation.
The 2 Johnnies have once again set the internet alight with a fresh episode of their ' GAA Catfish' series. The term 'catfishing' refers to the act of luring someone into a relationship using a fake online persona, a concept made famous by the MTV show, Catfish: The TV Show.
He said they hit it off after exchanging messages: "Last year, I became single. It's never easy, no matter what way it goes. And in January, around Christmas time, this girl follows me on Instagram. She's absolutely stunning. Drop-dead gorgeous. She's from Limerick and has 15,000 followers, and it's followed by a few people I know personally," he shared, reports RSVP Live.
After spending some time in the house, having breakfast and waiting for "Cora" without success, Johnny decides it's time to leave, and accepts "Nicky's" offer of a lift from Dublin to Tipperary. They discovered multiple profiles with indicators of being fake, using different names and photos of various women. These profiles interacted with each other, bolstering the illusion of authenticity.
