Why Nobody Actually Supports the Underdog (Until It’s Too Late) | Brutally Human

Everyone loves to root for the underdog—until it requires actual effort. We’ll scream at our TVs for a football team that loses every week, but when a real-life friend is grinding to make something happen? Suddenly everyone’s ghosting, “too busy,” or dropping a pity like on Facebook without ever showing up where it actually matters.In this brutally honest (and sarcastic as hell) episode, I’m breaking down: • Why we romanticize underdog stories but rarely support them in real life • The mental toll “fake support” takes on creators, dreamers, and anyone fighting uphill battles • My own story of launching podcasts and live streams with 143 “supporters” who couldn’t bother to hit play • Why people would rather drop hundreds on losing sports teams than give free support to someone they claim to care about • How to actually show up for the underdogs in your life (without spending a dime)This episode of Brutally Human is brought to you by Petty Merch—my unapologetically sarcastic clothing line.
