This is the Fitsy and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
How's this? We're talking about catfish stories quite a bit
on the show, but my god, this is a pretty
full on one. What's happened? It involves one of our
very good mates of the show, Dr Chris Brown. Now
Brownie has been putting up quite a bit lately and
this has been happening. We've seen it quite a bit.
I think it happened to Hamish Koshie. It happens to
quite a bit where they use their identity and try
(00:25):
to suck people in.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
That's right, certain gummies. It was a big thing around gummies.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Wasn't that to hand over money? And obviously Brownie is
a big target for this because he's a good looking man, single,
he's on television, he's well known, and you know, women
at home can get a message from who they think
is doctor Chris Brown and unfortunately they're not and fall
in love with him. Oh no, this we try to
(00:49):
get Brownie on this morning and obviously it's pretty sensitive.
It's very sensitive for Brownie, so he didn't really want
to talk about it too much. But this video went
up last night. This woman wants to know the truth
about her internet boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
He's a well known celebrity vat I'm TV presenter in
Australia and I'm looking well maintained guy, very muscular. This
is have you a date? And I said no, I
just live at my home with my mom, my, dad
and Matuka. He asked me to marry him. You know,
really took a loss with persuader to do it. When
I decided what I'll say yes.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Chris was wealthy, successful and handsome. He even shared Lisa's
love for animals. There was just one problem.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
He was sick in Africa. He had really bad insect bites.
It was said that he got kidnapped and they asked
for twenty million dollars. His management wanted it in the
form our quip pow and didn't have that fund of money.
We're not mere nailes. We used celebrity like you say
you are. You should be loaded the money.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's so full on.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Make fun of it because it's really tragedy.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's so full on that someone would actually think that
Brownie is in Africa and he's been covered in in
sick bites and kidnapped and his management want twenty million
in crypto and you still think I need to help
him like it's but this is the thing, Whip. It
happens regularly. I suppose it's.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Hard to understand at times because you practically think, why
would a good looking, successful vet based in Bondai, Sydney,
Australia be interested in starting a relationship with someone on
the other side of the world.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But see this episode, it's.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
The logic has gone from the situation. But it does
happen because I think people are desperate for escapism and hope,
and that's what probably she might be lonely has found
herself believing Brownie must have made a fortune from this.
I don't think he's going to he doesn't, right, Okay,
sorry him promoting it taking twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
We're not saying that at all. But there's a serious
side to this, and he must because he quite shattered
that people are putting money into this and losing it
and then he's involved with that.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But you do hear these stories where people continue to
pass money to people on the other side of the
world for an operation for their grandmother and they're in
light like they're actually in love and emotionally connected to
someone they've never met.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Brownie put up last night. I reckon six or seven
scam accounts with his face on it that he that
he just had. There'd be more out there. Get me
out of here, because he would. I mean, if he
popped up in your feed, you would be instantly drawn
to it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'd transfer a couple of crypto to Brownie just for
a hug, maybe a couple of questions about.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
The dog too, if he's a vet though, and he's
I mean, you need twenty million dollars for insect bites.
I mean that's where you've got to start asking questions.
I'm sorry that it was the kidnapping.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It was the insect bites that got you, was it?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I mean, when alarm bells would go off for me, Mum,
can you have a look at this insect bites? W'd
you get that much?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Of?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You got?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Mum?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Twenty mil? Give me some stingos and twenty mil?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Mom? Well, can we tell when he feels comfortable talking
about it?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Tommy, he does look like about relationships at the best
of time.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That's true. So I've just transferred five thousand bitcoin. I'm
just hoping to get it back at some stage any day.
