Funny Cuz It's True with Elyse Myers

by Lemonada Media

Hello, and welcome to my podcast. I first went viral on TikTok after telling the story of how I got stuck buying 100 tacos on a first date. Since then, it’s been a wild and crazy ride. I now have millions of eyeballs watching my videos on a daily basis (which is just a terrifying number of eyeballs, honestly). Each week on my podcast Funny Cuz It’s True, I’ll be sitting down with my favorite creators, friends and comedians to find the stories that have stuck with them and changed their lives in small ways. Not so funny moments that have become funny over time. I want to know how they handled these situations and learned to laugh about them years later. How do they do it? Great question, I’d love to tell you (but you have to listen to find out).

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Elyse Myers makes me feel like life is worth living despite all of the awfulness in the world. Love her content and authenticity, it’s contagious

Tinypants2 · Apr 2024

Elyse is, hands-down, the best human…so honest, so loving, so funny; she says what many think, but never say, and normalizes the neurotypical. For the first time in almost 5 years on earth, I don’t feel “alone” in my quirky thoughts.

PA-Kate · Feb 2024

I love Elyse Myers. She is so funny and I’ve been watching her on Insta and now I get to listen to her pod!!! I’m so excited and can’t wait to go through them all! She’s so wonderfully authentic and lets herself just be who she is. It’s quite inspiring. I love her awkward stories, they are callbacks to all of my own awkward moments. It’s just lovely.

Jwilliams90 · Oct 2023

Elyse is your best friend. Period. No ands, ifs, or buts. She is funny and entertaining, but what I truly love about her and her content is her ability to be humbling and open about her internal struggles. I wouldn’t have had the courage to make light over my overthinking brain if I hadn’t watched/ listened to how she turns it positive and light. Thank you for sharing your stories and all of the wonderful interviews
