- [Dejay] Well hello, JoJo.
- [Nev] I guess you know these guys.
- I guess so. - Hi.
- Hey. - Nice to finally meet you.
- Nice to finally
meet you too. - Uh-huh.
Hello. - What's up?
- [Josiah] Not gon' shake my hand?
- [Dejay] This is gonna be fun.
- In this season five episode,
we encountered a Catfish first.
A love triangle.
Okay, so this is interesting. We got an email from our
casting department. - From the casting
department? - It said, hey guys,
looks like we have a Catfish first.
- Weird. - I have two submissions here
from different guys.
Who live in different states.
Each of them claims to be in a long-term
long-distance relationship with
a guy named Josiah, from Philly.
I mean, we always assume that a Catfish who's
talking to one person,
is probably also talking to
other people too. - Well, they generally are
talking to more than one. - Right.
And, it's just a matter of time before
more than one of the hopefuls
wrote in at the same time.
We were contacted by two guys, separately.
Malik and Dejay.
Who had unknowingly been
talking to the same guy, Josiah, for years.
Here's and email from another guy named Malik.
Why don't you read this,
and we can talk about it.
- My name is Malik,
and I am 20 years old.
For five years, on and off,
I've been in love with a guy named Josiah (laughs).
But, we never video chatted,
or met in person.
When I started to question him about standing me up,
he blocked me on Facebook.
Hmm.
Mmkay.
Wow.
Now, that's funny.
I mean, even from what he says about Josiah.
The things he do when he gets upset.
That sounds exactly like Josiah.
- [Nev] Well then, let's give him a call.
Okay? - Mhm.
(cellphone ringing)
- Hello? - Hey, what's up?
Nev and Max, here.
We saw your email about Josiah.
- [Malik] Right.
- And, we definitely wanna help.
But, we're in a little bit of a unique situation here.
We got another email from another young man, named Dejay.
And... - Uh-huh.
- Both of you told very, very similar stories.
- [Malik] So, this Dejay guy is talkin' to Josiah?
- We actually don't know yet for sure that you're talking
to the same Josiah. - Uh-huh.
- So, I'm gonna introduce you now to Dejay.
He's gonna come on the phone.
- Wow. - Hi, Malik.
How you doin'?
- [Malik] What's up, Dejay?
- Does these numbers sound familiar to you?
267 (beep)?
- [Malik] Yes, it does.
(laughing)
- Does he have a Facebook page, or Instagram?
- [Malik] Facebook.
- [Nev] So, what's his current profile picture?
- [Malik] He's just wearing like,
some band-geek glasses with a collar shirt,
and his cellphone in his hand, in the picture.
- We're definitely talking to the same person.
- Here's what I'm gonna suggest.
If you guys are cool with sort of teaming up,
to work on figuring this out together...
- Mmm.
- We can come meet you in Charlotte,
and then maybe all go find,
and talk to,
Josiah together. - Josiah.
- Mhm.
- So, though Josiah had shared some of the same information
with each of the guys.
A lot had differed significantly.
- He told me he had a child.
- He, what?
- What? - Yes, he told me
he had a child.
Like 2012, he said while he was living in Delaware
he had a baby.
He never told you about that?
- Hell no.
- He told me he had sex with a girl,
and they was drunk,
and he had a baby.
- [Nev] Wow.
- This (beep) up.
- But finally, Josiah did agree to meet up.
Leading to one of the most explosive
Catfish confrontations ever.
No way. (door clacking)
- [Dejay] Oh my God.
Whoa.
Oh wow.
- Hello. - Hello.
- How you doin'? - Good.
- I'm Nev.
- Josiah.
- [Nev] Good to meet you, man.
- [Dejay] Well, hello JoJo.
- [Nev] I guess you know these guys.
- I guess so. - Hi.
- Hey.
- [Dejay] Nice to finally meet you.
- Nice to finally meet
you too. - Uh-huh.
- Hello. - What's up?
- [Josiah] Not gon' shake my hand?
- This is gonna be fun.
- I just can't believe you're you.
- [Max] Yeah, that's the
big surprise. - That's the big surprise.
Wow. - That never happens.
- Wow.
Seven years, huh?
It took seven years
for you to get here. - Five years.
- Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to deal
with both of them at one time.
- Are you scared?
- No, I'm not scared. - Are you scared?
- It's just, it's both of y'all.
- Yeah, I mean, we've never had a situation
like this, so... - Right.
So, it's like, that's a lot. - We're all trying
to figure it out.
What was the problem?
I don't understand, like...
- I mean, it's two different people.
It's two completely
different stories. - But, why not like,
video chat with them,
or meet up with them?
- I mean, because at that time,
I had a lot goin' on.
- We all got things goin' on, JoJo.
- If you're gonna let me talk,
then you know, I'll talk.
But, don't-- - If it makes sense.
- Don't jump down my throat.
- Are there other guys,
aside from Dejay and Malik,
that you've been talking to for a long time on the internet?
- No.
- They're the only two?
- The only two.
- [Max] Do you have a kid?
- Yes I do have a son.
- You do have a son. - 12 years old.
(laughing)
- Are you in a relationship with the mother?
- No, I'm not in a relationship with the mother.
- [Max] Great.
- What other sort of bigger details about your life
that we don't know,
or maybe we think we know?
- Well, right now I'm currently in a relationship.
We've been together for two years.
- Wow. - Two years?
- In real life? - Yes.
(laughing)
That's why I haven't been able to use Skype or,
you know, meet.
When I'm on the phone with Malik,
my boyfriend is not around.
If I'm texting Malik, or Dejay,
you know, even if I'm laying in bed with him,
I'll turn to the side.
You know, so he don't see. - Oh, wow.
- Oh, you smart.
You smart.
Okay. - I mean, y'all have every
right to be upset.
- Upset is the... - I mean--
- Is a understatement.
- It's nothing, I mean,
only thing I really can say is sorry,
and try to give you guys answers.
But, it's nothing else I can really do.
I never told you me and you were in a relationship.
- Okay.
- So, I mean,
I don't even understand like,
where all the attitude is coming from.
We were never together.
- Right, how you tried to make it seem was
even though we wasn't together right now,
in the future time,
it was gonna be something else.
- You had your opportunity to come see me,
and I had my opportunity to come see you,
- And, you didn't do that. - And, we both (beep)
each other at the end.
There has been several times
you was supposed to come to see me, and you didn't.
- When did you do that? - And, there was several
times that I was supposed to come and see you,
and I didn't. - Yeah.
Can you listen? - Name one time.
- Can you listen?
- Don't talk to me like that. - Then, be quiet then.
- Stop raising your voice-- - 'Cause you're lying.
- You are lying.
All them people that you talk to,
are you serious?
Leave the bull (beep) for somebody else,
because it's not gonna work on me.
I know the truth.
- Can you lower down? - And, I can't wait to
get on Facebook... - Can you simmer down?
Just simmer down.
All the way down. - What is that?
- [Malik] Simmer it down.
- Talk to me with English.
English. - English.
English. - Simmer is something
you do when you cook.
Get it together. - Okay.
- Get it together. - Okay.
- Okay, I'm done talking to you.
You're not gonna say
nothing else to me. - No!
- You're dismissed.
- No, I told you (mumbles). - Sit here, and act like,
(beep) outta here.
Man, (beep) outta here. - This the thing.
No, you need to listen.
- No, I don't need to listen. - (mumbles) Tryna get out.
- I don't need to listen.
Shut the (beep) up.
Dumb ass bitch.
Don't follow me.
Don't (beep). - You running?
- Get out my (beep) - Why running?
- Then you just put your hands in my face.
Now, if I smack the (beep) out you
it's gon' get (beep) problems.
Dumb ass bitch.
Get the (beep) outta here.
- Come on. - You wanna see who (beep).
- She a (beep) hoe. - You're the hoe.
- (beep) Hoe. - What you gon' do?
Dumb ass bitch. (beep)
- [Nev] Hold on, let me take that. (beep)
- [Josiah] Dejay, can I start by saying one thing to you?
- Yes.
- I am sorry.
(stammers) Like, dead-ass serious.
I'm sorry.
- So then, why even do it in the first place then?
- Because, it's just something there.
It's not... My intentions-- - What you mean
it's something there?
- My intentions-- - Where?
- I still have feelings like that now.
- So, how am I supposed to - I give you that--
- Sit here, in my head,
to believe the fact that you're still
so strongly feeling these feelings toward me,
if you bull (beep) the whole having a relationship?
- Listen, if you don't believe me,
then you just don't believe.
It's nothing I can say to you that's gonna
make you believe me. - Yes it is.
- We're stuck on (beep) that happened five years ago.
Seven years ago.
That is your whole issue with me.
- That's not the only one.
- What else?
- You got a baby! - That's not something
I like to talk about. - So, it's like we--
What?
- It's just something I don't like to talk about
It's complicated-- - I don't understand that.
I will never understand - Listen to me--
- A father not wanting
to talk about their child. - Hold, hold, hold, pause.
Now, that's what I won't let you do.
Last time I seen my son,
he was seven months old.
Listen-- - But, still.
At the end of the day - Hold on--
- Whether you saw your son-- - You asking me a question.
- Bring it down. - No.
You bring it down. - Bring it down.
- Because you're asking me a question--
- Because, it's not really that deep.
You scootin' up in your chair.
- [Josiah] Stop talkin' to me like that.
- I can't talk however the (beep) I want.
I'm a grown ass man.
It's my mouth.
- Okay, that's the end of that.
- You are full of (beep).
- I refuse to sit around people that's not gonna listen.
Only thing they're gonna do,
open up their (beep) mouth,
and just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
And you don't know - (mumbles) See them?
the situation. - They don't.
- [Josiah] And, you don't know the situation.
- Josiah, one second. - I don't care.
- One sec-- - That's clear!
That's been clear for seven (beep) years.
- Just now peepin'?
- Don't test me.
- I'm disgusted. - No, no, no.
Let me tell you something.
I'm not the one sittin' in there.
You know me.
- [Nev] Dejay, Dejay.
Can you just chill out? (muffled shouting)
Can you just chill out for a second?
- Do you see me sweatin'? - Don't, don't--
Yeah, let me step out.
'Cause, (stammers). - You said you
wanna test me-- - You funny.
Shut the (beep) up.
- Who do you think-- - Shut the (beep) up, Jo.
- Who do you you are? - Shut the (beep) up, Jo.
Grow some little hair - I'm scared.
- On your balls,
and act like a (beep) - But, I'm sittin'--
- Grown ass man.
Bitch, I keep tellin' you.
I'm not the right,
I'm not the right one! - Aright.
- And, you think your ass is mother (beep) 22,
'bout time--
(beep), (beep), (beep)
- You are. - What's up?
What's up? - It ain't gon' be no problem.
- What's the problem? - We got all the space
and opportunity mother (beep).
- [Dejay] That's right. (beep)
I don't (beep) with you.
- For real, for real. - I will.
- How'd that happen? - Know that, know that.
Because, number one,
if you're gonna talk about my child,
talk about it correctly.
I haven't seen my son since he was seven months.
- That mother (beep) needs psychological help.
- I don't talk about it.
I don't talk about it because
it's a touchy (beep) situation.
(beep) Them.
I'm done.
I have came here.
I have done what I,
what I set out to do. - You have.
- And, I'm not doin'
nothing else. - Aright, hold on.
Before you leave. - I don't even wanna
be on camera no more. - I understand.
We'll get you a ride, okay?
