00:00 - You do really well, honestly.
00:02 Any advice to people running the marathon right now?
00:05 You've done it.
00:06 - Marathon advice now is take it easy.
00:08 - Yeah.
00:09 - It's, what is it, a week and a half away?
00:12 Just taper out, you know, like, don't overdo it.
00:16 Training is in, now just stay injury free.
00:20 Try to relax and just enjoy it.
00:22 - Are you doing it this year?
00:23 - Yeah.
00:24 - So, this is, how many times have you done the marathon?
00:25 - This will be my seventh.
00:26 But this year, for the first time,
00:27 I'm running as a guide runner for a visually impaired athlete.
00:31 - That's pretty cool.
00:32 Are you training with that person?
00:33 - I've been talking to him.
00:34 I'm going for a run with him tomorrow, actually.
00:36 Our first physical run together.
00:39 And then we'll run together on the marathon.
00:41 - That's awesome.
00:41 That's pretty cool.
00:42 Gotta get into catfish, AI.
00:43 How is that affecting catfishing right now?
00:45 Should people be more nervous?
00:46 I mean, have you heard any stories
00:48 regarding AI and catfishing kind of correlating?
00:49 - Well, we're hearing lots of stories of, like,
00:51 scams and people using AI to deceive.
00:55 Hasn't trickled down to our show yet,
00:57 but I imagine it's just a matter of time.
00:59 And, selfishly, it's only gonna make more work for me.
01:04 - Yeah.
01:06 How do people get more concerned about it?
01:07 How should they get, just be more careful regarding it?
01:10 - I mean, I think you just have to
01:13 be even more vigilant now in
01:18 fact-checking.
01:22 You know, if someone tells you something,
01:23 or if they're sending you pictures,
01:25 or promising all these things about themselves,
01:28 or describing themselves, do the research.
01:31 Find the LinkedIn.
01:33 You know, reach out to a friend.
01:34 Search the photo.
01:35 Run the number of any guys.
01:37 I mean, we do it on the show, so it's doable.
01:40 And we're not using any special, advanced, exclusive tools.
01:43 You just have to take a few hours.
01:46 And protect yourself.
01:50 - I heard two last questions.
01:51 Your wildest catfish story.
01:53 - Sorry?
01:54 - Your wildest catfish story.
01:55 The one that you're just--
01:56 - Actually, there's an episode that airs tonight
01:57 that is on my mind, 'cause I'm excited for it.
02:00 But it involves someone getting a giant tattoo
02:05 of the wrong name on their neck.
02:07 So, that was pretty wild.
02:09 - Yeah.
02:09 Who's your dream guest host to kind of come up to you
02:12 and your catfish with?
02:13 I mean, kind of do an episode with you.
02:15 - I think I've had my dream host.
02:17 Max and Cammie.
02:18 Who I can do better than that?
02:19 - What's your one select one that you'd be like,
02:20 man, this would be really cool,
02:22 but just 'cause somehow their stories
02:23 correlate with what you do?
02:24 - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:25 I mean, I always sort of thought it'd be fun
02:28 to have someone like a real relationship,
02:31 like a veteran relationship expert.
02:34 Like a Dr. Ruth.
02:35 - Sure.
02:36 - Or, what's the guy's name from--
02:40 - No, like Dr. Drew or--
02:41 - Yeah, Dr. Drew.
02:42 Like, yeah, like someone--
02:43 - I hooked that up, I should know.
02:44 - I think that would be fun to have someone on
02:45 who can really speak a little bit more
02:48 to the emotional relationship aspect
02:51 of why people get into these situations.
02:54 - What do you want to do next?
02:55 I'm sorry, Leslie.
02:56 What do you want to do next, Leslie?
02:58 What do you want to do, Leslie?
02:59 You've been doing it for a long time,
03:01 but what do you want to do next after Catfish?
03:03 - Well--
03:03 - Like, everyone knows you as the Catfish guy,
03:05 but I'm sure you want to do more.
03:07 - I mean, the dream is to open
03:10 like a classic car restoration garage.
03:14 - Really?
03:15 - Yeah.
03:15 - I love it.
03:16 - Maybe that'll happen, we'll see.
03:17 - That's pretty cool.
03:18 Well, hopefully I'll see you and your dad's valet soon.
03:19 - Yeah, there's--
