Summary
Nev Schulman joins Bobby to talk about the wild journey from being catfished himself to turning Catfish into a cultural phenomenon. He looks back at the original documentary, the early days of the MTV series, fake stories people tried to get on the show, and why the franchise may not be done yet. Nev also reacts to Bobby’s own MySpace catfish story, shares how he ended up in luxury NYC real estate, and opens up about the bike accident that broke his neck and nearly left him paralyzed. Plus, they get into his time on Dancing with the Stars, why losing may have worked out better for him, guiding athletes with disabilities through marathons, and how his life has changed since becoming a dad.

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:10.8 | Because our show had come out just a few weeks earlier so that when the head coach at Notre Dame |
| 0:16.8 | gave his press conference, he referenced the show. |
| 0:20.1 | He was like, Mandateo was catfished. |
| 0:21.9 | And then he said, and if you don't know what that means, I direct you to the MTV show Catfish. |
| 0:26.9 | It was like, |
| 0:27.8 | Hey, everybody, Bobby here. |
| 0:30.9 | We're going to talk to Neve Schulman, best known as the host of Catfish. |
| 0:34.7 | The show that ran forever on MTV became a cultural phenomenon, but actually |
| 0:39.4 | started from a documentary that I watched back in the day. It was blown away by. And so we even |
| 0:44.4 | talk about where that phrase comes from to be catfished. I was catfished a couple times in my life. |
| 0:49.7 | We talk about that. So we talked to Neve about that show. Also, he works in luxury real estate now, |
| 0:55.5 | so I'm like, how much can he get for $3 million? We do stuff like that. He's a marathon runner |

| 1:08.1 | And he had this really bad accident in 2024 with his spinal cord that left |
| 1:12.8 | him nearly paralyzed. So he made an incredible return. We talked about all of this. I didn't know |
| 1:19.0 | what I was getting, a little Neve Shulman, because I never met him before. I just know that I'd been |
| 1:23.1 | catfished. I like the documentary catfish, and the show Catfish ran forever. But I think you're going to like this. Here he is. Oh, he also finished second on Dancing with the Star, so we talked about that. I finished first. But yeah, hey, potato potato. Here he is. Neve Shulman. Neve, good to see you, man. All right. I appreciate you being here. I feel like we got a lot of stuff to talk about. I would like to go first, though, because I enjoy when someone transitions a career in a big way. And so I believe that is what you've done now. You're doing real estate? Yeah. Like high-end luxury, real estate. Is it called real estate if it's high-end luxury? Yeah. Okay. Real estate's what I |
| 2:02.6 | buy, like to live in a normal house, but like you're doing like the real, like the nice... Well, I mean, |
| 2:07.1 | you know, in New York City, it's hard to find a home that doesn't qualify as sort of high-end |
