#146: Lindsey Fishman: How talking to the walls cured my depression

Lindsay, what does Unc mean?

Old.

Uncle.

Do you know that?

Yeah, but I, but, like, why do people call you Unc?

I don't know.

[laughs]

I don't know.

It, it started happening.

I had, like, three comments, and then I went to a coffee shop in Chicago, and somebody was like, "Good morning, Unc." And then it just, like, kept going.

Like, it started around Chicago, and then it just kept flowing into this new life that I have.

I, I don't...

There's gotta be something.

Every time you put a story up, I see underneath, there's just, "Unc, Unc, Unc, Unc." [laughs]

Yeah, I know.

I, I don't know why that was, like, the, the golden nickname for me.

Like, there's so many other things that you could call me.

Like, a nickname like Fish Boy.

Like, that's what my best friend calls me.

Like, Fisherman, like, Fish Girl, like, anything but Unc.

I have no idea.

It's random.

Mm-hmm.

I- it started from bots, the incels.

It's-

The ones that tell me I'm hideous too.

It started from that, and now you've got all these fanboys that call you Unc.

I guess so, and I, and I...

Trevor's always like, "You should lean into it." And I'm like, "No." Like, I don't identify with being Unc and Chop.

Like, sorry.

Like, that's not me.

[laughs] Do you think it's crazy how much your life has just changed?

Yeah.
