Bobbi Althoff is an influencer who began her content creation journey in 2021 on TikTok, where she would post content centred around pregnancy and motherhood. She is also the host of The Really Good Podcast.

Back in February 2024, Bobbi hosted an episode on her podcast, The Really Good Podcast with Wiz Khalifa, titled 'Wiz Khalifa: ''At least we know the number to the hospital.''' In this episode, Bobbi tried smoking cannabis with Wiz Khalifa, and it was her first time.
Bobbi was then distressed and uncomfortable, and she began experiencing a wave of panic, possibly the effects of cannabis. She described the experience as "anxiety-inducing and overwhelming." Wiz Khalifa, however, handled the moment calmly with his humor. Bobbi then made a statement saying:
"That was genuinely terrifying. I thought I was going to die."
A clip of this particular incident is gaining renewed attention on the internet, and it has quickly come to the attention of netizens. It has also sparked debates on the effects of cannabis, especially for first-time users.
Bobbi, who has over eight million followers on TikTok and over one million subscribers on YouTube, gained massive popularity in 2023 when she started her podcast. Given how her popularity had skyrocketed, there were rumors that she was an industry plant, meaning she was backed by someone in the industry, hence the quick success.
In one of her TikTok videos, she shared how starting her own podcast was her dream. In the video, she said:
''I’ve always dreamed of having my own podcast…So I filmed a pilot episode. “Everyone I showed it to said it was awful..They said I wouldn’t secure celebrity guests anymore…That no one would watch it … But I proved them wrong … It got 6 views and my famous neighbor agreed to do an episode….Don’t give up on your dreams. Ever.''
Her TikTok content earlier was around motherhood and marriage, as she has two children with her ex-husband Cory Althoff. She is also popular for her deadpan humor, and although her content journey began with sharing relatable content, it quickly evolved into comedic skits and interviews with celebrities.
In the podcast episode with Wiz Khalifa, they discussed various topics including Khalifa's journey to stardom, his experiences in the music industry, fatherhood, fun segments, a five-course meal, and Bobbi's trying of cannabis. Overall, the episode was a blend of humor, funny, and vulnerable moments.
