Internet personality Bobbie Althoff, creator of The Really Good Podcast, blamed a barefooted Mark Cuban for the fact that their interview was conducted on the concrete floor.
“Unfortunately we had to record in a building that I had to rent because he didn’t want us to use his house,” she deadpanned. “So we couldn’t afford chairs and that’s why we’re on the floor of a parking garage, and his feet are dirty because there was oil all over the floor and I did not have time to clean.”
Althoff, who I had previously only seen/heard in 10-second Tik Tok clips, is funny, like a petite, female version of Zach Galifianakis when he does the Between Two Ferns bit (which we’re fans of here at the Advocate).
Althoff introduced the Preston Hollow billionaire and Mavericks owner as “he is on Shark Tank and has some money in his bank account.” The two teased each other about age and debt and discussed their shared birthdays, lactose intolerance and fondness for Target.
A few snippets for Cuban’s bragging montage: I love booze cruises … I love my kids … I own three houses (Preston Hollow, Laguna, Cayman Islands) … I have planes (three including the Mavs plane) … I believe in karma … (on religion/spirituality) if there’s a god he knows what’s in my head and I don’t have to go somewhere and proclaim it.
Althoff has interviewed rappers Drake (conducted, innocently, in a bed) and Lil Yachty, actor Rick Glassman and YouTuber Funny Marco, to name a few. Cuban alludes to being friends with the 26-year-old influencer’s agent.
She says she’s been doing The Really Good Podcast less than a year. She’s become known “for her deadpan humor and for intentionally making her interviewees uncomfortable” according to People. While no means the first to conduct this style of comedic celebrity interview (Galifianakis, Ziwe), she’s good. It takes a special person to maintain composure and a straight face while asking Mark Cuban if LeBron James plays for the Dallas Mavericks or whether he will give you $20,000 to pay off your podcasting investment. She also works in genuinely good questions such as, “Did your wife marry you when you were poor or rich?” “Do you cook your own meals/have a butler?” “Do you have a bed on your plane?”
Althoff, a mother of two, has amassed more than 5 million TikTok followers and 500,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel, where she posts all the podcast episodes.
