In this episode of Internet Friendsy, we dive deep into four jaw-dropping Reddit stories centered around manipulation. We're joined by Dr. Tanner Goodman and his wife Daniela. Tanner is a dentist in our area by day and a real life rockstar by night. Daniela is a ft mom and esthetician. We had a blast with them!

First, an entitled adult son brings his wife and five kids into his mom’s two-bedroom apartment and leaves chaos in their wake, blaming everyone but himself. Next, we hear from a frantic mother who is questioning everything as her husband stands up for his brother despite the brothers catastrophic mistakes. Then, we meet a young teenager who fakes a life-threatening illness to distract his parents from their looming divorce, even claiming essential oils saved his life. Finally, an exhausted son shares how his mother constantly turns him into her therapist, leaving him drained and unsupported.

As always, 3 of these stories come directly from the internet, and one of them has been fabricated using AI. Can you spot the fake?


Ever find yourself scrolling through a late-night Reddit rabbit hole or falling into a bizarre TikTok thread and thinking, "someone else needs to hear this"? That's the exact energy Joe and Whitney Sykes bring to their Internet Friendsy podcast. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with two friends who have done the weirdest digital digging for you, sifting through stories, confessions, and chaotic experiences pulled from every corner of social media. They don't just read posts; they dive into them, debating, laughing, and trying to untangle the human logic behind the most viral and obscure online moments. From unbelievable Facebook rants to AI-generated oddities and true crime forums that make you question everything, the gang covers it. They even play a version of 'two truths and a lie' with internet tales, challenging you to spot the fabrication before they reveal the truth. It’s a comedy and culture show at heart, rooted in the personal journals of strangers and our collective societal obsession with sharing online. The Internet Friendsy podcast, from The Friendsy Gang, is your audio companion for those moments when the internet feels too strange to experience alone. You’ll find yourself listening and mentally comparing your own detective skills against theirs, all while getting a hearty dose of reality from our very unreal digital world.
