The internet’s favorite monotone chaos agent, Bobbi Althoff, has just pronounced the end of her podcast, but in true Bobbi fashion, it’s not exactly clear whether we should be mourning, laughing, or preparing for a bait and switch comeback.
In a rambling, half-hearted farewell that felt more like a lo-fi stand-up routine than a professional sign-off, the 26-year-old digital disruptor closed the curtain on The Really Good Podcast, a show that once made waves with viral interviews from Drake to Tyga to Mark Cuban.
And just like that, the girl with a mic, a dream, and deadpan delivery says she’s out.
“She was good… I’m gonna miss her”: Bobbi Says Goodbye
In a final video statement, Bobbi delivered an emotional, albeit slightly unserious, goodbye to her listeners.
“At the end of the day she was uh she was good and I’m going to miss her,” she said, pausing in that signature halting cadence. “I will miss doing this podcast and I will miss the money this podcast brought me.”
The confession was brutally honest and classic Bobbi. From the jump, she made it clear that the podcast wasn’t a passion project born out of creative fulfillment or journalistic ambition. It was about getting paid.
“As you guys know, this podcast started off just with a girl with a dream to make more money,” she said. “I knew when I started that it was going to go places. I didn’t know I would fall off as quickly as I did, to be honest. I did think this was going to last a bit longer.”
The rest of the message was part elegy, part existential rant.
“Everything in life happens for a reason. Or… mostly everything. Kind of not everything. Some things happen in life for a reason. But let’s go down memory lane.”
She hinted at recapping her favorite guests and podcast moments but never quite got there, a fittingly anticlimactic finale to a podcast built on awkward tension and anti-humor.
Twitter Roasts Her Farewell: “Ruined Your Family for a Lil Bit of Fame Is Crazy”
Naturally, the internet was quick to dig its claws into Bobbi’s unexpected curtain call.
One Twitter user didn’t hold back:
“Her shtick got old really quickly and she never did anything new. Couple that with her being detestable in her personal life, kiss those 15 minutes of fame goodbye babygirl.”
Another comment took things from critical to cruel:
“Didn’t this broad destroy her family to get passed around and rawdogged by Africans?”
Yikes.
The viral backlash spiraled from mockery to schadenfreude:
“Damn ruined your family for a lil bit of fame is crazy.”
“I’m crying she really thought she was an exception to the 15 minutes of fame rule lmfaooooooo.”
It’s a brutal fall from grace for a woman who, just last year, was hailed as a comedic disruptor in the podcast space. Her deadpan stare-downs with celebrities went instantly viral, drawing millions of views and a new kind of ironic fandom. But the internet is fickle, and in Bobbi’s case, fame came with a built-in expiration date.
Is She Actually Ending It? Or Is This Classic Bobbi Bait?
While many took her words at face value, longtime fans, or perhaps skeptics, aren’t buying the farewell at all. Some believe the entire announcement was performance art, meant to troll the same people who’ve written her off.
“How are people not realizing that this isn’t serious? If you’ve watched even 10 seconds of Bobbi Althoff you’d know,” tweeted one observer.
“Americans couldn’t sense sarcasm if their life depended on it,” said another.
And in perhaps the most accurate diagnosis of the situation:
“The way she got people to take the bait one last time in the replies.”
It wouldn’t be the first time Althoff blurred the line between sincerity and satire. Her entire brand is built on weaponizing awkwardness and letting the audience fill in the blanks. If this is the end, it’s not just anticlimactic, it’s kind of genius.
