[Brianna Chickenfry]

I would have somehow I would have, like, been, we have to face time or something. I showed up to this episode. Actually, you guys weren't here yet in a Halloween costume. Because I thought today was the Halloween.

[Dave Portnoy]

Costume episode, but they said they were sending us the costumes.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, I got. I got mine.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, I don't have mine.

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, I don't have mine either.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I thought it was costume time, so I should.

[Dave Portnoy]

I wish I saw that.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, it's like next week would be the week.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, I thought, like, we were doing multiple. Remember we talked about.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah, we did. We did.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm also. We'll have to figure out. I'm traveling next Tuesday. All right, let's get into the topics here.

[Rico Bosco]

Wait, can I. Can I do a joke for the moms?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, sure.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. When your morning's so tough, your coffee has to smile for you Mondays.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I liked that.

[Dave Portnoy]

Back into the mug. Things well, it was more just a.

[Rico Bosco]

Joke for the moms. We don't do enough of those. We don't know.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's a huge crowd of ours.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Let's see the support in the chat. Let's see it. I bet you there'll be a few.

[Dave Portnoy]

Kayla Nicole Shays, Tiana Taylor and address his relationship with Travis Kelsey on the Angel Reese's podcast. Unapologetically. Angel. They discuss their former relationships. I'll start. I didn't really get into the Tiana Taylor stuff, so I'll start with my take. I'm glad this is on the sheet. I haven't really talked about it yet. Angel Reese and Kayla Nicole are, like, perfect for each other. They both are people who love to talk and are obsessed about a third party. In this case, Travis Kelsey for Kayla Nicole, Angela Reese loves talking about Caitlin Clark. She slowed down a little bit. But they love talking about these people and then are surprised when they get backlash from the fans of said people. They can't stop talking about. Like, why are the Swifties coming at me? Because, well, Kayla Nicole, you don't shut up talking about Travis and Taylor. So, yeah, they come after you like, no. So they are perfect. That. That is kind of like the angel thing when she was obsessed with Caitlin and then Caitlyn fans, myself included, would keep an eye on angel, be like, what are you gonna say now, Angel? Yeah, very similar. Like, you know how you stop getting the hate from that group? Stop talking about them like, they broke up a long time ago, didn't they?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Do we know why they broke up? Was it a bad breakup?

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, according to this, another part of this was she basically said Travis was cheap. I believe, like, they were like, they split everything 50, 50. And she's like, do I look like a 5050 girl to you, Angel? Do I? Does this face look like a 5050 face? To insinuating I'm so goddamn hot. I don't pay for. And by the way, she is a beautiful woman. But it's still. Like, even if you think that, I wouldn't necessarily say that out loud.

[Rico Bosco]

No. Saying it makes me think you're a 5050 girl.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, right.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

But that was supposedly. She hinted that was cheap either way. Like, to go on the angel podcast.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Now and still talk about it.

[Dave Portnoy]

Still talking about, like, Travis and the Swifties. The Swifties are mean to me. It's because you don't shut up about them and you trash Travis who's now dating. Like, they're moved on your. Your old news, sunshine. Like, get on with your life and keep them off your lips. I wouldn't like it if I had a new girlfriend and the old girlfriend is just constantly talking about the new. Nobody would. So move. That's on.

[Rico Bosco]

It's immature stuff. It doesn't. It's like high school, like, drama. Let me. Let's gossip.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. So. And then you. But you cannot get mad at the Swifties. Be like, they're mean to me.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, no. You're talking about Taylor's man now.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

What did she say about Tiana Taylor? Why is she.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't understand how she's in this at all. I. The headline says Tiana Taylor. Yeah. While Kayla Nicole was coy while talking about Taylor and Travis, she wasn't that. Oh, I think I know this. She was shadier while talking about Tiana Taylor. After Iman Shumpert left Kayla for Tiana, Kayla revealed she dressed up as Tiana for Halloween, who she said was famous. Okay, so I saw this too. So apparently, Kayla Nicole was dating Iman Shumpert. They moved in together. Iman Shumpert dumped Kayla Nicole for Teyana Taylor, and then she dressed up as her for Halloween as Teyana Taylor. That. That is what happened. So Tiana, who is now divorced from Iman, responded on Instagram showing off her upcoming projects to Taylor Swift's Shake It Off. Okay, so she's like, you, Taylor, stole your man. Maybe. Maybe your 5050 thing isn't working with men. Tiana also left a comment under the Shade Room Instagram post about Kayla Nicole saying she had originally showcale love on her Halloween post years ago. First of all, that's a lot of words on this sheet right now. We're supposed to read this entire thing?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. That's the biggest comment I've ever seen.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, my gosh. Wow.

[Rico Bosco]

In my life.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right, let me try to whip through it really quick. It's really crazy that everyone is allowed to bother me and be just. That's a great opening line. It's really crazy that everyone's allowed to bother me. Wow.

[Rico Bosco]

Pedestal.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. It's really crazy that everyone is allowed to bother me and be distasteful. Everybody gets to play while I move with grace always. But now I want to have a little Sagittarius fun, too. And it's a problem. Question mark. Fuck the eman part. I'm divorced and happily so. However, her choice of words were very disfavorable. Uncalled for. She knew exactly what she's doing. That lady said she was famous at the time. Also, Said I don't care who can see it. It's very distasteful and uncalled for. More importantly, she knew people would dig so automatically my name is attached to nonsense. At the point she didn't get at me, that was clearly a quick search. My name was trending without an app before even saying a word. Saying a word. That's how I seen it laugh out loud. On top of that fact, the math wasn't math and the facts weren't facting. However, the level of cringe factor was lol. I'm find out just like the world that her intentions were ill in petty. She pulled the black card when it came to Taylor Swift but in the same circle turned around tried to bully the black woman that was married to the situation ship she claimed dumped there for me dressing up like me for what Crazy part about all this is I actually show love under pick when she posted like I did the 3700 little bit people that dressed up as me for Halloween whole time I even know she was being shady now I do. So in that case petty panties on, sister. I had my little fun. I said what I said. Now I'm done. Headed back to set. I will say that is crazy that Kayla Nicole dressed up as her for Halloween and Tiana was just like thanks honey. And she tried to do it to be mean.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Didn't realize she was like trying to look better than her or something like that as her. She didn't even take it that way. She just thought it was a little fan.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. She's like, what? What? Thanks for being a fan. That's worse when you're trying embarrassing for.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

You're trying to like get at someone. Like, oh, they're petting you on the head. Being like, oh, that's.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Thank you.

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, that was really kind of you. Oh, that's tough. Did you. Did you insinuate the this emoji as sister there? Is that what just happened? Yes. Nice. Nice. I wouldn't have put that together like that. So in that case, petty pennies on sister. I kind of liked it. I liked how you put it together.

[Dave Portnoy]

Listen, Kayla Nicole. And this goes back to my original thing. It's like her. Her MO to stay in the news is talk about her relationships, her exes. Like she's dropping this years after the fact. That's fine. I. Then you don't complain when you get hate in the comments. That's all like you're. You're out here stirring the pot like a witch. So you're Going to get hate.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I just feel like there's no need to talk about your ex. If it seemed like they loved each other so much and then when they break up, all you have is, like, horrible things to say.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Doesn't seem right.

[Dave Portnoy]

More. Jack Daughter Jack Doherty gives his cameraman a Jet Ski.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, for crashing his car.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yep.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

So he can crash the Jet Ski.

[Dave Portnoy]

I mean, whatever that I, I, I, I think you'd rather not get almost murdered. Jack D's brother reacts to Jack's action. Jack Dar's brother Michael, who's also an influencer, spoke with TMZ after his brother's accent said Bing kicked off kick. Hurts his brother because part of his main source of income. No, that after the accident struck Jake Jack a little bit. That he's not invincible. I, I'm curious. Like, do these people have, like, parents? Like, is this kid normal? Is this guy normal?

[Rico Bosco]

I assume he's gotta have parents, but it might be one of those things where the kids making so much money and paying for stuff for the parents of the parents just kind of like, let it happen.

[Dave Portnoy]

Is it? Do you guys know his brother at all?

[Rico Bosco]

I don't think I do, no.

[Dave Portnoy]

I wonder if he's, like, normal.

[Rico Bosco]

I have no idea. But I mean, hopefully it struck him a little bit. Hopefully it made him realize, yeah, maybe.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It snapped him out of being crazy.

[Dave Portnoy]

Honestly, it's like, tough to have too much sympathy. Be like, yeah, he needs to be on kick. That's how he makes money. Like, wow.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Texan driving almost killed your friend.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Killed other people.

[Dave Portnoy]

I saw this story. Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield never heard cut during their sex scene. While filming their new movie, We Live In Time, Andrew Garfield revealed how he and Florence Pugh never had cut during their sex scene, which was filmed on closed set, meaning it was just Florence, Andrew and that cameraman. Because of this, Andrew and Florence went past their choreography and let the scene progress. Andrew says they could sense it was too long, so they stopped. And when Andrew locked the camera turned to the wall. What does this mean? They were actually fucking?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I think. I mean, everything besides it.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Like, you know, I was going to say no D and V, but I'm sure it's like, you know, a lot of, like, foreplay, a lot of, like, touch and a lot of maybe kissing thighs. A lot of, like, licking.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You know, I do wonder if they ever, like, if it's just them three, maybe, like, are they slipping something in?

[Rico Bosco]

I think there's stories about sex scenes where people actually really had sex. Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

I, I love Florence Pugh. I have a big crush on her since doing.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Big crush on her too. Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like the Dune when I didn't really think much of her, but the end of Dune, I was like, I didn't realize it was even her. I'm like, who is the, who's the queen here? I'm into Queenie and other notes. Andrew Garfield and Dr. Kate Thomas split. I don't think this is related. It would make you think it's related.

[Rico Bosco]

The way it would make you think it's related.

[Dave Portnoy]

Professional witch doctor Kate Thomas confirmed her split with Andrew Garfield through Instagram after a fan asked. They're still dating. The couples originally romantically linked in April. She was criticized because of profession. Well, she was criticized because on an attractive level, if I recall, she didn't really match up with, with Andrew Garfield and they said she, this woman was a witch and could put spells on people. So. Yeah, well, yeah, she put spell on him.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

The spell wore off.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Is Andrew one of the most eligible Hollywood bachelors?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yes. He's such a cutie patootie. Everyone loves him.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay, there you go. I didn't really know that he's spider man. Yeah. Met Gala 2025 theme reveal. The 2025 Met Gala theme is super Fine tailoring Black style, which will draw inspiration from 2009 book Slaves to Fashion, Black dandyism and styling of black dysphoric identity. Well, I'm not going to say anything about this. How do you like that?

[Rico Bosco]

I think that's the right play.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Seems like it would put. I. As I said, I'm not going to say anything.

[Rico Bosco]

I, I think I know where you're going to go with this.

[Dave Portnoy]

Seems like this would put a white person who's going to this in a very peculiar situation on how to dress. Yeah, like you don't want to be like.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, that's stressful. You don't want to.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. You don't want to be like appropriate. Yeah. Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

But then that's the theme. So it's like, am I supposed to. And if I don't do it, does that.

[Dave Portnoy]

How is Kim Kardashian gonna deal with this? Like this is her Super Bowl. Like what is she gonna do? Aiden Ross helps viral Tampa resident Lieutenant Dan. So this is the guy in the hurricane who was on the boat. He's like, I'm not leaving. Went super viral. Aiden Ross said he's gonna buy him a hundred thousand dollar boat, get him a kick deal. Then more information came out about Lieutenant Dan. Seemed like maybe he wasn't the best guy of all time. I think I read he tried to like set a woman on fire even. Yeah. Oh whoa. Oh.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

And he said the N word during the stream.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yes.

[Rico Bosco]

I think on his first live.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. So Anne Ross I think took the offer back. Is he still giving it to him? Seems I don't know. I mean this is always kind of what happens with the Internet. Like you. You fall in love and it's like maybe not the best dude.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

He had like 40 mug shots so he wasn't.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah yeah. He not a good dude. Aiden Ross announced he would sorry. Pay 70000 for someone doing an IRL. What is that? What's an IRL?

[Rico Bosco]

IRL like in person stream like in real life. In real life. Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Throughout The Hurricane Milton 1 streamer Nate Mike Smalls Jr. Attempted when the fun but disappointed when Andrew Ross comment he wasn't paying anyone and told him to evacuate. That's because I think you can probably be arrested if like something bad happens and you're like the one telling like.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm gonna pay you to do this stuff.

[Dave Portnoy]

I would guess. I guess that's why back because what's.

What time is it? Game Time. Beyonce and Jay Z's lawyer shuts down conspiracies since Diddy has been arrested. There's been conspiracy theories around Diddy's longtime friends Beyonce and G somehow involving in Diddy's alleged crimes. Fans online point out how many musicians have thanked Beyonce stage even when their victories are unrelated to her. And now theorizing these musicians did it in order to survive. Some have gone as far as saying that that's the reason Kanye west interrupted Taylor Swift. I'm totally lost. I, I so they think like Diddy.

[Rico Bosco]

Is like the runner of the Illuminati and Jay Z and Beyonce were like right there with them or like Diddy might have been one of their kind of people running the Illuminati. And that's why like all these things happen. That's why everyone has to give their thanks to Beyonce. That's why everyone, because like, they don't want to step on their toes. They'll get you out of the music. That's I think what they're insinuating.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't believe any of that.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Do you guys believe in the Illuminati?

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, you explain to me, Dante the Dawn says I'm in it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You're in the Illuminati? No.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. He's convinced I'm in it or at least been approached or what is it?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I see. This is where I crumble because I don't understand what the Illuminati is.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well then. Right. It's hard for me to answer if I'm in it, if I don't know what it is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

But you would know if you're in it. You get approached like rich, good looking.

[Dave Portnoy]

Guys in Nantucket who watch sunsets, then I'm in it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That is not the Illuminati. You want to say you're in the Illuminati.

[Dave Portnoy]

I think it'll be a cool thing to say. Yeah, yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

But I think that's it sounds like they haven't approached you, Dave, is because they know you'd be like, you put it in the bio, like creator of Illuminati or something, you know, I have.

[Dave Portnoy]

Not been ever asked or approached in a way that I've understood I've been asked or approached to be in the Illuminati. I think I would like to be in it. It strikes me as a good thing to be in. Unless you're saying it's like the Diddy shit. No.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Maybe it would be a good thing to be like involved In. But you don't got to get your, like, feet wet, you know?

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, to me, it's like, hey, I want to be in the VIP of Taylor Swift, like, 1, 800 Illuminati. And I'm in. Like, just go to the VIP. Like, to me is what I'd want to know.

[Rico Bosco]

Like, yo, mass destruction is coming in the sense of, like, a world catastrophe.

[Dave Portnoy]

They know that.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, that's what I think the Illuminati knows. That's what I think they know. Like, they know when.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, that still would be good to know then. Yeah. Why. Why wouldn't you want to be in it?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Because I think it's like.

[Rico Bosco]

Because I feel like they probably. They probably have to have something really dark on you for you to be in it so that they know you won't.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, isn't the whole thing you sell your soul to the Illuminati like you sell your soul to be in it?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, but, like, so that means you're doing.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That means you're doing really, like, bad things. I would assume you would have to do favors for these people, and they, like, hold it over you.

[Dave Portnoy]

That would be.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You would have to be the king. You would have to be the Illuminati king.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, No, I think you have to work that well. I don't. I hate. I'm not favorite guy. I don't like that.

[Rico Bosco]

So you're out.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

And I don't think they'd be, like, easy favors. I think they'd be, like, quite tedious.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay, then maybe I'm not an Illuminati guy. Yeah, I need, like, a brochure.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, they should have, like. They should give out pamphlets, right? Like, oh, this is what you're gonna get yourself into.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, they should advertise more.

[Rico Bosco]

There's. There's different tiers, maybe.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

JoJo Siwa trolls. Beyonce. Well, accepting award of the 2024 Industry Dance Awards, JoJo Siwa mocked the conspiracies by thanking Beyonce so he can dance community safe. Okay, that. That goes along with what we were just saying.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. I thought for all the JoJo Siwa moments I've seen, I thought this one actually kind of made me laugh a little bit. I thought this one, I was kind of, like, not.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right, let me see it. Let me see.

[Rico Bosco]

Usually I'm laughing at her, and when I saw this, I was like, that's kind of funny.

[Dave Portnoy]

Let's see. JoJo.

[Rico Bosco]

I also have to say thank you to Beyonce. Just keep the dance community safe, everybody. Beyonce, you got great music. We all love to dance to it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

We all love you.

[Rico Bosco]

Anyways, I am up here.

[Fran Mariano]

Someone had to.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I think, like, everyone was shocked that she said that.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think all those people going to those award shows definitely are all in on the drama of, like, yeah, Beyonce and Jay Z. That's the right crowd to hit that.

[Dave Portnoy]

Zandra and Danny and Amidola split after Danny Amidola said him and Zandra just friends. Andre puts a tic tac to tic tac to tick tock to an audio that said, are we dating? Are we. Are we best friends? Are we something? I wish we never. I mean that, but not really. Yeah. I mean, this goes back to the other thing, when Amidola brought Zandra to Dancing with the Stars. And then they're like, we see you brought your girlfriends. Like, that ain't my girlfriend. It was super embarrassing for Sandra.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. And she's, like, awesome. Someone should be proud to call her their girlfriend.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. It was a weird move by Amandola.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

And I'm fishy. Like, he has other girls.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, but I mean, give me a. Like, yes and no. He brought, like, if you're the other girl and you're watching him on Dancing with the Stars and Zandra is sitting with her family, you're gonna be like, oh, I think he's probably Zondra, too. So, like, there was nothing being hidden. Yeah, I know. It was weird. And I like Danny. I. I, like, met him a bunch. I met Sandra. I like her. But, yeah, if I was under, I'd be like, this guy. Like, even if you're not dating. The way he clarified it, like, no, that's just my friend. She's not just your friend. She's sitting with the family. George, just be like, yeah, we're on tv.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, yeah. I don't know if I, like, provoked it when I was, like, with our little clip here. But no, they're very nice. I originally said, Friday, I can't, and then I felt like an idiot.

Thank you. Ishowspeed temporarily paralyzed trying to break world record. Ishowspeed attempted to break the world record Most backflips in 24 hours failed. The current record is 1001. So Speed was aiming to do 42 backflips every hour in order to beat the record. He ended up quitting with a few hours left after doing 660. Speed has since revealed that after going to sleep following the challenge, he woke up temporarily unable to use his legs. Thought he was going to have to go to the hospital. During his attempt, Speed ironically mocked people at chat saying they should train for this. Sounds like he cramped up a little.

[Rico Bosco]

Cramped? Yeah. I mean, 660 backflips in 24 hours is absolutely insane. Is it like, that is so impressive.

[Dave Portnoy]

So you do a backflip.

Conor McGregor pulling a woman back by her hair while attempting to answer it before his wife, who next to him, approaches. I didn't realize his wife. This is very funny. Yeah, well, not funny, but funny.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, my gosh. Oh, he's the worst. That's awful.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, that's tough. Very on brand for him. Like. Yeah, it's not surprising at all. It's also not even a real party. Whatever they were at looked like corporate event. Like, the girl looks like she's a ww. I mean, a ufc. She had, like, a belt on.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Connor.

[Dave Portnoy]

Love Island's Hannah Smith arrested outside a concert. Hannah Smith from the most recent season of Love Island USA was outside. Was arrested outside of Gracie Abrams concert for allegedly threatening a police officer while intoxicated. Hannah was released on bail.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That's a bummer.

[Rico Bosco]

Threats and acts that seems.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I think it's because she. Well, I read it, like, the full police report, and she was saying that she's gonna kill the police officer and his sister or girlfriend. So that is technically, like, an act of terrorism.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I know. It's gonna get arrested. That's for sure.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, definitely arrested for sure. Why would you say that? It's a silly thing.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

And she was, like, kicking and fighting.

[Dave Portnoy]

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, it was like. It was like him turning around.

[Dave Portnoy]

A subway, like, jumper or something. Somebody didn't, like, pay the toll. Weird for that to be the thing. I have no idea.

[Fran Mariano]

Hey, this is Fran from Chicks in the Office. I can't wait to get dressed up for the holidays in Abercrombie's newest party collection.

[Dave Portnoy]

Last week, a woman named Rachel Siegel went viral for being left at the altar while holding a high noon. And the Internet rallied behind her. I didn't see this, but I would have rallied behind her. I would have rally the high news.

[Rico Bosco]

40 million views.

[Dave Portnoy]

How did I not see this?

[Rico Bosco]

I don't know.

[Dave Portnoy]

Let's see it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

How can you leave someone at the altar? Just don't go to the wedding.

[Dave Portnoy]

My name is Rachel Siegel, and my fiance just left me at the altar.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Can't you make that decision the night before? I'm sorry, I'm stuck on the. Leaving someone at the altar.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's crazy.

[Rico Bosco]

God, you can just see the. You can see the pain in her smile when she's trying to, like, crack the joke and still feel, like, okay about herself. That's.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

How do you do that to someone? Just tell them the night before the wedding, we're calling it off. Dress on high noon will make her life.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, you should get her high noons for life.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't know what I thought of the wedding dress, so maybe she gets a do over. But she wearing a cape. Is that a cape?

[Rico Bosco]

Dave? I was kind of going down the route of, like, you know what? This woman's been through enough. You know, I don't need to get on her about dressing like Dracula at a wedding.

[Dave Portnoy]

She's pretty and she's got the high noon. But maybe the guy was like, she's wearing a cape. I'm out of here. But she should have high noon for life.

[Rico Bosco]

Do you think before the wedding she was like, honey, where's my super?

[Dave Portnoy]

I mean, she's theron. You never criticize. You can. You can criticize the wedding dress when it doesn't happen. Like, if she got married, you can't.

[Rico Bosco]

No.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's not.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You'd be like, well, it wasn't meant to be.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, right. You that you. Well can. You'll have another chance.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I think it was fun.

[Rico Bosco]

By the way, I'm team. I am team her all the way.

[Dave Portnoy]

100 team her all the way. Me too. I'm gonna try to look her up and get some high note. We've had another high note moment. Totally different. It was funny. There was like. There was this floating, like, Trump parade. They do it where, like, boats go in Florida. Like, it's just like a rally and a couple people sent me earlier because I said I was voting Trump. Like, this is what you're voting for. And there's like Nazi flags. And. And I'm like, well, yeah, that's awful. But then I got another video sent, and it's somebody in the Trump parade, and they're like, these people aren't like the people in the Nazi mask and flight. They weren't part of the parade. They were trying to get in the parade, take a picture of the parade, be like, see, these are Trump's fans. So here it is.

[Rico Bosco]

Right, right.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

They. They have the Nazi signs.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, the ones that they just got.

[Rico Bosco]

So.

[Dave Portnoy]

And there's the high new. So that was another good high new movement. Like, the actual people at the rally were like, they. They sprayed them and got them out of there. It's so up how everything. It's like. Because that was going viral, it'd be like, yours. There's this.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I would assume they're Trumpers. Yeah, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

And then you see the video. It's like the Trumpers are trying to get rid of them. So not saying that. I'm sure there are Trumpers who do that. Just like, there's people everywhere, but crazy how everything comes out anyway. Shout out to High Noon again. To the rescue.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, I know. It's just saving the day, everybody.

[Rico Bosco]

For real.

[Dave Portnoy]

Tesla unveiled their new human, like, robot. Don't like it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Scary. Don't like it.

[Dave Portnoy]

Seen enough movies to know eventually they get a mind of their own and kill the human race.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And, like, imagine just having one of those things, like, wander around in your house or something. Like, you have it as, like, a cleaning person or a maid. And then eventually one night, it's standing over your bed, you wake up and it's like, master.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

What is my purpose?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You should watch it. That's what happens.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, there's a lot of movies like that.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, there was one.

[Dave Portnoy]

I watched some. Yeah. Rich guy. Anne Hathaway apologized for old one interview that went viral. This first name's a bear. Kachista Flaw. The reporter recently went viral for a resurfaced awkward interview with Blake Lively. Went viral again for a resurfaced awkward interview with Anne Hathaway from 2012 during her Les Miz press run. Kijurtsky also shared her interviews with other cast members from Les Miz who didn't give her a hard time. Kaczyrski Real revealed that since the interview Clip. Clip went viral. Anne Hathaway apologized for the interview, gave her insight on what she was going through. At the time and offered her interview for upcoming. Upcoming movie. I don't really care about old, awkward interviews.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It was pretty tough. She was kind of being really rude, though.

[Dave Portnoy]

Maybe there's something about this girl because.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That'S what people are saying.

[Rico Bosco]

I was just about to say, you got two now. You got two that are like this, and you're, like, resurfacing it.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

You're trying to, like, get it going again. To me, that. That rubs me the wrong way.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Like, maybe she's rude to them before.

[Rico Bosco]

That's what I'm thinking. What is going on? Or, like, it's really unprofessional. Maybe before, like, the setup. Maybe they're waiting long time. There's got to be something going on. Or it's just maybe rude. Yeah. Yeah. She could have done hundreds and hundreds of interviews, and those are the only two that end up being rude. But sure. Are we not gonna watch it because we don't care?

[Dave Portnoy]

No, we can watch it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Have you seen it, Josh?

[Rico Bosco]

I haven't.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

So I was gonna ask you to do the first question and singing. Can I sing it to you? And you can sing back the answer.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, I won't be doing that, but.

Thank you very much.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's rude.

[Rico Bosco]

She's acting rude.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yes.

[Rico Bosco]

She's short answers. You're doing an interview. You know, you got to bring more than. Yes, but. But it seems like there's tension in the room, right?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It seems like Anna's having a very bad day.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what was going on. Who knows?

[Dave Portnoy]

Heidi Klum and her daughter pose in lingerie. Howdy. Klum and her daughter Lenie are receiving backlash opposing lingerie together. After fans said this was weird, Heidi turned off comments on her Instagram. I do not think this is weird.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, she's 20.

[Dave Portnoy]

What? Like, I assume she's a model. She's got her mother's looks. They're like, Heidi's a supermodel. I. I don't know. I don't. They're like, jobs. Like, in a weird way. What's the difference between, like, LeBron James and Bronnie, like, playing hoop together? Like, these are just.

[Rico Bosco]

They don't have to do it in lingerie, I guess.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, but they're like that. They're supermodels.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, this is her job.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I think people are making it weird. Like.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like they're not overly sexual photos.

[Rico Bosco]

It's not like they're like. Yeah, like, grabbing each other or something.

[Dave Portnoy]

No.

[Rico Bosco]

You know, they're just like, I think.

[Dave Portnoy]

It'S kind of cool. I have no problem with it. I think people you're reading into it. Like, I think it's kind of cool. You have the mother, the daughter. They're both models. So I mean, who cares, right?

[Rico Bosco]

Right. Like, if they were walking a Runway show together, they'd be wearing the same type of thing.

[Dave Portnoy]

Exactly.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying.

[Dave Portnoy]

And, like, I've always gone back on this. Like, Heidi Klum is a supermodel. Like, that's her profession. That's her job. She's modeling here. Like, that's what she's earned, I'm sure. Millions and millions of dollars, maybe more doing so.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah.

All the guys are wearing them. Everyone, weirdly, in Massachusetts is wearing them. I don't know. Everyone hopped on the trend. I went to a concert the other night, actually, and all the hey dude reps were there, but everyone in the crowd was already wearing them. So they were, like, trying to sell them, and people already had them on, which was kind of cool. So everyone's hopping on the. The. The bandwagon. If you haven't tried them yet, make sure to check it out. And like I said, hey dude is the official comfort shoe of barstool. So slip into softness today with the Wendy Wally slipper@hey dude.com. let's get back to the episode.

[Dave Portnoy]

Tick tock internal communication unveiled. Internal tick tock communication have been made public that show execs aren't concerned with the harm. They appose routines that was designed with the express intention to addict young people to the app. No.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

And I don't think they should be held responsible, by the way. I think that's like parents, like, I like.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, Yeah. I mean, I had, like, my. I had rules in my household up until high school. That was Like, I wasn't allowed to be on screens for more than 30 minutes from Monday to Thursday.

[Dave Portnoy]

You made those 30 count, though, Josh?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, but I wasn't doing social media. I wasn't doing social media before. I wasn't doing social media before high school. Like, once I got in high school, I had my own phone. My parents were like, okay, it's a little harder to monitor, you know, like, but up through middle school, I'd come home, my dad would get home 30 minutes after us. Like, he was a teacher. So he'd be like, finishing up, marking, whatever, get home 30 minutes after us. And we had to have all the chores done, and we would fit in our screen time. When my dad came home, he would send us out of the house. He'd be like, get outside. Go play. You know? So it was like, we did that until high school. Really?

[Dave Portnoy]

We didn't have phones back in the day.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No phones?

[Dave Portnoy]

No phones. It was like, you had to. The rotary dial be like, yo, where are you? Like, yeah, that's fun. Yeah, it's like, you couldn't meet if your friend wasn't picking up the phone. You were cooked. It's just like, the we gonna do here. No text, no nothing. It's like, just waiting. It's like, go outside and someone is like, matt, home? Like, no. It's like, yeah. No, when.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I would just kind of, like, ride my bike and knock on my neighbor's doors, you know, I would just kind of ride, go knock in the neighbor's door, be like, yo, can the. Can Dominic and Liam play? Or, you know, can the what?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, a lot of what. That's what we. I kind of. It's like, you. So my town was that big. You, like, know who is out. It's like, let's go see if someone's, like, shooting Hooper, shooting hoops, playing street.

[Rico Bosco]

Hockey, whatever, and you just kind of join in.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. I'd be, like, really loud outside my neighbor's house that had, like, kids my age because my parents had made a rule, like, josh, you got to stop going over to people's houses and ringing the doorbell at, like, 8 in the morning. Just because you're up, that doesn't mean other families are up. You can't be doing. So I just ride my bike and be like, oh, I'm out here chilling if anyone's wanting to come outside. And, like, just wait until people would come out.

[Dave Portnoy]

All the days. Two cast members from School Rock are getting married. Good for them.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, cute. Look how good they look. Wow.

[Rico Bosco]

That's awesome. Two great characters in the movie too.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I wonder if they stayed together.

[Dave Portnoy]

No. So 2018, Caitlin, Angela met up after Caitlin moved to Florida for work where Angela lived in. The two became dating. The cast says they have all stayed in touch over the years.

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, that's cool. I wonder if they'll have like a school of. Or if they had like a school of rock wedding.

[Dave Portnoy]

You feel like you got to.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, you gotta have like Jack Black be the officiate guy. Yep. There we go. Thank you.

[Dave Portnoy]

Martha Stewart revealed she cheated on her husband in documentary trailer. That's a good way to get people to watch, I guess. Martha Stewart, the first female self made billionaire America is getting her own Netflix doc. In the trailer, Martha urges young women to leave their husband if they cheat on you. But a producer calls her out for having an affair, which she says she didn't think her husband even knew about.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

What?

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, that is kind of hypocritical.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I mean, yeah, of course. Is she still with this husband? Is he just finding out on the.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, that's a great question actually. Like, is she still with the man?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, it sounds like they are. A producer chimes in asking, didn't you have an affair early on? Stuart response, yeah, but I don't think Andy ever knew about it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, my God, Andy.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, they're not together.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, he's finding out now.

[Dave Portnoy]

She is 100% an icon. Is Martha Stewart an icon? Of course she is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yes, It's Martha Stewart 100%.

[Dave Portnoy]

[Dave Portnoy]

Lot of congrats.

[Rico Bosco]

Thank you.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Congrats, Josh. This is cool.

[Dave Portnoy]

What like, like what Hollywood Reporter named Josh? And 21 other creator at Hollywood's new A list. Now I thought this was very nice and impressive for you. It fell apart a little bit for me because I didn't recognize anybody else on the A list.

[Rico Bosco]

How many do you think you could name Me or Dave?

[Dave Portnoy]

One Dave. Josh Richards. We have the whole list if you want. All right, do it. Let's try it. Yeah, I want to try to name Josh, obviously. Is there. So this is more Brie and Dave.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I mean, I think I got. Yeah, we'll see. Rhett, wait.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Josh, don't name. We have to see if. Me and Dave.

[Dave Portnoy]

No idea who that is.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, but what? You guys are gonna hear me say the name and then lie and be.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Like you don't answer. And we're seeing if we can name any of them.

[Rico Bosco]

All right.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I didn't Know who that was?

[Dave Portnoy]

Who is? So who. Okay. 18 million subscribers. Nope.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No.

[Rico Bosco]

You guys. Okay, so that's Rhett and Link. That's crazy. You guys. They're good. Mythical Morning. They're like, one of the biggest YouTube pages probably for the last, what, 10, 15 years.

[Dave Portnoy]

What are they doing?

[Rico Bosco]

Right?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

So big.

[Rico Bosco]

They. They do. They do, like, they had one series that blew up called Will it, where they would do, like, will it sandwich, right? Or, like, will it deep fry? Will it whatever. And they would try all these different food things. I would say that was one of their biggest series that really took off for them, but it's pretty much two guys, and they just have this YouTube series where they do different.

[Dave Portnoy]

You know what? I'm such an egotistical, and I don't mean it negatively, but, like, I just think I'm more famous than, like, everybody. Like, so if these guys are walking down the street with me, they're getting recognized more than I am. No show.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No way.

[Rico Bosco]

Probably not more than you, Dave, because you're so, like. You're polarizing. These guys aren't polarizing. They've never.

[Dave Portnoy]

This guy's not polarizing. Look at him, Dave.

[Rico Bosco]

He's never done anything that's like. They don't piss people off. You know what I'm saying?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

People just watch them for their food because of the food.

[Rico Bosco]

I think you guys are like, maybe, like, they're in a different audience.

[Dave Portnoy]

I recognize I've 18.9 million YouTubers. Huge. I have no idea who they are. I'm saying I could be wrong because I live in my own world.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. I think they're getting noticed. Like, to me, I knew exactly their audience. I think it's. It's a pretty wide demo. Like, I think people that are, like 30 + love to watch them, but I also think people that are, like, from the age of, like, 10. Like, I know my mom, who does, like, Speech Path stuff. She. When she would go and do this with, like, her clients and whatnot, a lot of the schools or a lot of the places she'd go, they'd play. Good Mythical Morning, too. Like. Like a lot of young kids, but also older people. Watch Good Mythical Morning.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay.

[Rico Bosco]

They're. They're pretty massive A list.

[Dave Portnoy]

Nope.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No. I gotta know one of these people, though.

[Dave Portnoy]

Who's this?

[Rico Bosco]

I. I don't know.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Marco Zamora?

[Dave Portnoy]

No. This is bad for you, Josh. Instagram follower, 1.3 million. He's the A list. I mean, how is that possible?

[Rico Bosco]

Look, I didn't create the list, Dave. You know What? I mean, I got.

[Dave Portnoy]

Were you walking around being like, get this guy out of here. He's. No way. I like, like, let me call buddy.

[Rico Bosco]

Bigger A. I wasn't gonna walk in and start demanding to get people out of there. They can't be in a photo with me.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay? I mean, they're not alphabetically like the other guys.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Even.

[Dave Portnoy]

Even though I don't know the other guys. I respect. 19 million YouTube Instagram follower count 1.3 million. Like, no offense, this guy. A list is the top of the top.

[Rico Bosco]

No, I. I agree with you. I agree with you. This was a lot of what the Twitter comments were saying too, is what you were saying.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No, I know him, Mark. I like, only know him because I know him. Oh, Matt.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, tick tock. 1.1. My grandma can roll out of bed and get 1.1. Come on.

[Rico Bosco]

Matt's. Matt's very. The reason Matt would be invited to this is because he's very associated as well with A listers. Like, he's the one that does all the impressions. He's on every red carpet for every movie, every big event. So he is tied in with the A listers heavily. They all know who he is. They all hear his impressions. That's all his videos, like doing impressions with these A listers in front of them.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't know. All right, fine. Nope. Ayani.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You're thinking Avani?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No, no.

[Dave Portnoy]

Took a shot.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Asia. Asia Jackson. Okay, so she's a YouTuber. See, I don't really know YouTubers. I don't watch much YouTube.

[Dave Portnoy]

I mean, my pizza just. My pizza has like 1.4 million subscriber YouTubes. No offense. Asia.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, Britney Broski.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yes. Recognize her? I didn't recognize her in that thing and I feel like she is a list.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She's above a list. Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay.

[Rico Bosco]

You can't go above a.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, I just think like, she's a. Like what Dave's saying. She's very. In this picture. Not everyone is on Britney Broski level.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, but look who she's beside.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, it's true. Look at that you guys did. You guys.

[Rico Bosco]

Damn.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'll next to you.

[Rico Bosco]

And good for you for waiting this photo.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's how you should dress for an A list photo. Not like some of these other clowns.

[Rico Bosco]

My hair is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I think they all deserve it to be here.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, they don't have to be, but I take it back. No, they don't.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

They're there for a reason.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm Morgan.

[Dave Portnoy]

Drew 5 million.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I love Drew.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, Drew. Drew's a killer. And Brittany's a killer, too. They're both.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

They're great together.

[Rico Bosco]

They're so funny. They're like. I didn't talk to them much at the event. I wasn't having a great morning, if I'm gonna be honest. I was having a bad day. There were a lot of things going on. My house. There was stuff going on that I was gonna have to pay for. I had, like, got something stole.

[Dave Portnoy]

There was.

[Rico Bosco]

There was a bunch of stuff going on that was messing with me that day. So I didn't really talk to a lot of people at this event, which I feel bad for. But Drew and Britney, I think, are killers. They're so. I don' I watch their clips all the time. I think they're really great.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I don't know if you would ever come across her and you're like.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. And that is fair. They're talking young Hollywood. I'm nearing. Like, she's still got some time. I'm much older. So this isn't like.

[Rico Bosco]

That's the other thing. This is a. This is a young Hollywood A list.

[Dave Portnoy]

Totally.

[Rico Bosco]

So this isn't like four people that are above a certain age.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's a nice way to say it.

[Rico Bosco]

Thank you. I was trying to.

[Dave Portnoy]

Is that Charlie Jordan? Yeah. Okay, so I know her. This is what I was saying the other day with Charlie Jordan, like, when they want her in that house.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Now I'm surprised she's a list because we were talking what she's even doing last time. Like, she's DJing. But I know who she is.

[Rico Bosco]

I think. I think I want to say the DJ is going good, though. I think she's getting booked a lot.

[Dave Portnoy]

I have no idea who this is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She's traveling the world all the time, which looks sick.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You don't know him.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I don't either. Gotta get fallen.

[Dave Portnoy]

Is that Brooke?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I hate not knowing people. Brooke Schofield?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, who is it, then? Megan.

[Rico Bosco]

Megan Roop.

[Dave Portnoy]

I feel like that name rings a bell.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Megan Roop. It's a cool name. She looks familiar.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm looking up Megan Roop. I feel like I know her.

[Rico Bosco]

God, I know her name. This is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I have no idea.

[Rico Bosco]

You're gonna have to pull it up. I'm not gonna remember. I knew it started with an animal.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That doesn't really look like her in that.

[Rico Bosco]

It's a. It's not like a great angle of her.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Like, it's not her face. I would have known her that.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm saying it's a bad photo of her. What I'm trying to say is, like, the hair kind of comes in.

[Dave Portnoy]

You don't know Megan Roop?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No.

[Dave Portnoy]

Do you, Josh? No. Like, this first video that I clicked on her, she was with Morgan Riddle.

[Rico Bosco]

Morgan Riddle?

[Dave Portnoy]

That's your tennis guy's girlfriend? No.

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, that's bad. Oh, that's gonna be tough.

[Dave Portnoy]

Clip.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't know her eyes. She must be reminding me of somebody. I don't know who that is. I don't know who you are.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, I. I don't remember her name. I thought I would do better at this, honestly.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I didn't.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yes.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yasmin Shadow.

[Rico Bosco]

Yes.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I feel old too.

[Rico Bosco]

Like, we can see Perkins.

[Dave Portnoy]

Nope.

[Rico Bosco]

Slam through these a little quicker.

[Dave Portnoy]

Nope. No, I mean,398 is Zandra.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That's Anna.

[Dave Portnoy]

Anna who? Sitar. What'd she do?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She's. She's great on social media.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's pretty broad.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Just post her life and stuff. I don't know. I like her pictures. I don't know who that is.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, I. I knew her. I know who that is. Only for odd reasons, but I know who that is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

What are your odd reasons?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, this is.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't even know how to go back, but I believe I knew her rate for some gig and I was comparing it when I was trying to like, do the starting up stuff with Silvana influencer. It's like she was very unique. I couldn't, like, I couldn't find another Amy song to compare her to. I was trying to do like business stuff, like figuring out rates for influencers.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, she looks like a singer.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Shayla Mitchell. The name sounds familiar. There's a lot of you guys on this list.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I know.

[Dave Portnoy]

Is that the kid below? We had on tick on him. Do we have him on the podcast?

[Rico Bosco]

No, I think so.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Who do you. Who do you think?

[Dave Portnoy]

61 million. Okay. That. Those are just facts. Like, you can't argue.

[Rico Bosco]

You can't argue with that.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Can't argue. Alan Chicken Chow.

[Dave Portnoy]

I feel like we interviewed a kid from like, Hawaii who was like, yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, no, he can.

[Rico Bosco]

Chow does like a lot of like, like, almost like these. Like, he'll be like if you go to his YouTube channel right now, his recent videos, like, I'm pregnant with a vampire baby. Allen's Universe. I think he does these, like, elaborate, almost like scripted out content kind of, you know.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay.

[Rico Bosco]

It's almost like a TV show production, though. This guy pulls in views. He has like 2312. Check all these people out.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Now.

[Rico Bosco]

There's a lot of sides to social media that I think are like a lot of people watch but aren't necessarily maybe like main pop culture. So people when they saw this list were like, oh, I don't know the name.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, that's the thing.

[Rico Bosco]

62 million subs. Who are you arguing in with?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, who's that?

[Rico Bosco]

I don't know. That was a weird. Who?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

He's adorable.

[Rico Bosco]

Julian. That's who it is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Julian Bernis. Oh, my camera's gone.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yep. Oh, we lost Bri. It's funny because we're getting into her portion of the show.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Why does that always happen? I was sitting there the whole time.

[Dave Portnoy]

Still recording.

[Rico Bosco]

Bri.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. Should I stop recording and turn it on and off?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Yep.

[Rico Bosco]

You would think, Dave. It's almost like it's gotta be planned, right?

[Dave Portnoy]

I mean, I mean.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Guys, shut the up. You're so annoying.

[Dave Portnoy]

It. It, it again. I, I, I can't.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

This happened to me yesterday.

[Dave Portnoy]

No point going on Tik Tok for me anymore because it's just Bri, Bri. Headline news. I keep. It's like I'm. I'm stuck in her algorithm.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. Probably because you liked a video or something. Yeah, it's on.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's your. Every video and recording.

[Rico Bosco]

There's an HDMI coming out of it.

[Dave Portnoy]

Right. You want to just unplug that and plug it back in. Yes, I did not like a video that would be a hate crime against. That would go viral too. Someone would have screenshot. 100%. 100%. Okay, we're back. We're good. Yep.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, we're back. We're good.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right. I don't know why this is on my. My pillow saga.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I saw this. So you had a. What happened? Your neck hurt?

[Dave Portnoy]

I. I'm definitely is asking if I'm high maintenance. I am a high maintenance traveler. Like, anytime, any place, anywhere, I will get up and bolt from a hotel. A.C. don't like it. Pillows up. I'll. I'll go. So I was like, you'll just go.

[Rico Bosco]

To a new hotel.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

So it could be, what, like 10 at night? And you're like, oh, yes.

[Dave Portnoy]

I literally did it like, quarter of 11.

[Rico Bosco]

Have you ever thought maybe you need to bring your own pillows?

[Dave Portnoy]

I. I do. I, I forgot. I do bring my own pillows a lot.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Dave Portnoy]

So I bounced to a different hotel, made a video. Like, I don't like. I. If I hate, like, thick, hard pills that make you crank your neck drives me nuts.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

So whatever someone, what's your ideal pillow?

[Dave Portnoy]

Soft and squishy. I mean I've gone through the whole thing. Like during CO I tested over 100 pillows I use.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I go no pillow.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's crazy.

[Rico Bosco]

I think so psychotic.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Like I like when I sleep I move the pillow so I just lay. But when I'm getting comfy I'll put a pillow behind.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I wish I could do that. Like that's when I have the big pillow. That's what I ended up doing. So I am a high maintenance guy. Shout out pillow bar. They sent me pillows, I went and bought some pillows. But I am a light sleeper and if I don't sleep I'm cooked. NASCAR Homestead Miami offers a one of a kind racing experience. The racetrack is located in between the vibrancy of south beach and the calm of the Keys. Drivers will be leaving it all on the track October 26th and 27th as they compete to make it on the championship four for a chance to win the NASCAR Cup Series championship in Phoenix. Witness the best drivers in motorsports battle it out on this 1.5 mile oval track featuring 18 to 20 degree variable banking designed to deliver high speed action, unpredictable finishes. I'm going to this right near where I'm going to be. Purchase your tickets today for two back to back days. A thrilling NASCAR action in the Florida sunshine at Homestead Miami Speedway. And then maybe I will cruise to the Keys after SUS update looks like Josh maybe we two things, the milk update and the SUS update. Seems like maybe people are more on Josh's side than we would have thought. Now the SUS update both the word had changed but more people like milk.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, no, the sus people were getting me but milk yo, run it up. Yeah, take a clap. All us people that love our milk man. And and I saw another thing that said one of the reasons why and I do remember these commercials so much so it makes sense but one of the reasons why people were saying like people my age or like especially like people from Ontario really are into just drinking milk plane is because there was like a bunch of campaigns for like Ontario dairy farmers like pushing like drink milk, drink milk, drink milk. So it was like a big like ad run thing that like people were all like into and then I guess maybe I'm a byproduct of that but I don't care. I love milk and I stand by it.

[Dave Portnoy]

I already talked about Taylor Swift. I don't think I get a meter. I don't even know where the tickets are but I'm excited to see it Saturday. Now we got two pages left. So Brie, you're talking about having. I'm trying to get Kamala. Kamala. Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

The way to remember is just comma and then la.

[Dave Portnoy]

I mean I'm never gonna get right. It's not meant to be respectful. Correct. And it's how I pronounce it. Have you decided? Is that happening?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I think. Well, I asked everyone and so she wants to come on the podcast but I got a lot of mixed feedback.

[Dave Portnoy]

And it's politics that's going to be.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I know, like not even in a political way, just like stay away from it. So I don't know, I think. What do you guys think?

[Dave Portnoy]

It's a tough thing to do. It depends what you're going to interview. Like I've done the Trump thing. I've been offered due to the Trump thing many times. Again, I've been offered to. Well, Kamala said she would come on bff. I want. I wouldn't do that with you two there for me because like I would be interested in my own point of view, which isn't your. Either of yours. Responsibility. My issue. All with. With those. It depends how you're gonna do it. If I'm gonna try to get political, I feel like you need such a wealth of back knowledge so like you kind of know what they're answering. It's like, is that real? Like you don't have enough almost to be like, well, that's bullshit or that' for either of them. So I've stayed away but depends what kind of interview you're going to try to do with her.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, we have to tell them by the end of today.

[Rico Bosco]

So that's tough. Just I feel like for me I couldn't. I, I don't have enough knowledge on the situation to give a good interview. Like I would have to prep for like a week before going and it's.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like they're both doing everything now. So what is. What like what are you going to get? That's kind of different then.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Because they're, they're both doing the full scale media tours.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. Isn't Trump is going on a barstool podcast.

[Dave Portnoy]

He was on Busting with the boys. He was on Nelk. He's supposedly going on Rogan and Kamal. Obviously they call her daddy and, and like doing.

[Rico Bosco]

See, the only way, the only way I would like to get them on is to do like an in between two Ferns type of style pod or to do like an Eric Andre kind of podcast. Those are the Only two. I. They. The zoom was agreeing with me. They said it'd be a party.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's a tough Grace, but that was.

[Rico Bosco]

How I would do it. That's how I would have to stay away.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I wish I could make it funny and do things like that, but I don't think that's what she's.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. And I wouldn't be able to do that. I have, like, questions that I need answers to. I'd be respectful, but, like, I. All the questions I have, I'd ask, and I don't think they want those.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. And I think it would have to be very much formulated before. Like you said. Said the call her daddy thing.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

There's no way she doesn't. She's gonna want to see every question before you.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

You would think so.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I think. Yeah. 100.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

But it would be cool.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right, here's the. There's the last thing on the sheet. It's the only. The only thing I saw.

[Rico Bosco]

This even made it on Tick Tock. This even made it through all my football and golf kind of like coverage that I get. You know, it kind of blocks out all the noise from the pop culture world, but somehow this one slipped through.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It squiggled its way. I don' know if it's not even.

[Dave Portnoy]

Or bad, but you have that thing right now where you just open your mouth and you go viral.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I know. And here's the thing. Like, I can't. People have already made up their mind and, like, took things out of context and have a narrative. So there's nothing I can say that are going to, like, change anyone's mind. You know what I mean?

[Dave Portnoy]

So there's two components of it. You watched the Mended Brothers documentary, which I haven't seen. Right. And you commented on it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It's really good. Yeah, I just talked about it for two seconds.

[Rico Bosco]

Can I ask, were you watching, like, the doc or. We were watching the show Monsters. Is that what it is?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yes.

[Rico Bosco]

Yes. Okay.

[Dave Portnoy]

And what did you say that's like, what is the controversy that.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, we both said it.

[Dave Portnoy]

You and Grace.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, we said that what people are mad about is. And I understand why people are mad about it is we were like, just run. Or. I said run away. Why don't you just run away first? And I do stand by that. Like, you should try to before murdering people. I do think there's other courses of action you can take, but I didn't know that they did try to run away. So uneducated. And people are like, you're blaming them. I'm not taking away the fact that they were victims, but when I talked about it, I was like, I just truly think there could maybe be a couple steps before murdering your parents. And also the mom was a victim to the dad. So it's like, I don't know, a standby.

[Dave Portnoy]

Controversial to me. I saw the other clip. Clip with Grace.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, this one. It was completely out of context as well.

[Dave Portnoy]

Right. And if I'm not misunderstanding and everyone's like, she's blaming Grace if I'm not. And I saw the clip. I have heard this story, I believe, multiple times. Right. This is the story that has been told.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

And she talks about it a lot.

[Dave Portnoy]

Correct. And you guys have been fine telling it. Grace has told me. It's like, I don't want to hear the story. But she. She forced it down my throat. Anyways, I heard the story, but what I saw you talking about almost seemed like if you were a parent, you were to tell your kids, like, don't hang out with like, can I explain that one?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Because this one the most.

[Dave Portnoy]

I already knew the story, so. Yeah, I didn't get what. People are mad.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, this one is really frustrating to me.

[Rico Bosco]

I don't even know if I know the story.

[Dave Portnoy]

You do, Josh, because you have to be around when I've heard it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, it's been at like our live show and stuff too, but so it's a story that we talk about a lot. We went on this trip when we were 16 years old to Atlantic City. And this is like, if you've listened to our podcast, you've heard about this before. Like, this trip was crazy. And all of us hung out with a group of 30 year old men. We were 16, which is super fucking weird. Obviously it's their fault for hanging out with us, but we were hanging out with them. We all got fucking. All of us got sexually assaulted by these men. And as we're talking about it on the podcast, I was like, if I can go back in time, don't hang out when you're 16. Hey, little girl. Don't hang out with a 30 year old man because hey, guess what, guys are gonna be creepy. And I'm not blaming us for what happened to us or blaming Grace, but if I can tell a young girl that listens to my podcast, don't hang out with a fucking weirdo. That's 30. No, 30. That's gonna do something wrong to you. I stand by that.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, I didn't get.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That's not victim blaming.

[Dave Portnoy]

I knew I Also knew the backstory. So it's like I don't even know what people are mad about. Because I knew what you were saying. Like, we, you were basically, we were dumb and naive to put ourselves in this situation, but it's not our fault it happened. But like, of course. No, Right.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

So I like, people just run with like, things, a narrative. And that's why I say where it's like even all of this will get clipped and be like, like I'm saying something wrong right now. But no one wants to like, listen to what I was actually saying. And I was trying to be like.

[Rico Bosco]

Assuming I was trying to warn Chris.

[Dave Portnoy]

Seem like Grace is on it. And they were making it seem, from what I saw, like, breeze be like, hey, Grace, it's all your fault.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It's your fault.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

And hey, guess what? We all got sexually assaulted that night. I got thrown up against a wall and a 30 year old man stuck his hand up my dress. Like, obviously that's not our fault. And I didn't say it was, but I said, let's not all you little girls hang out with 30 year olds because that's fucking weird.

[Dave Portnoy]

And again, it's a story.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Say it again.

[Dave Portnoy]

I've heard against my will. Not a bad way. But this is a story that if you are remotely familiar with, if you.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Know Grace, you know this story and if you know me, you know this story.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like it has been told a lot. It wasn't like this new thing, so.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, but it's all over thing. Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

You know what's going on here? Not to change the subject, there's some girl who was coming at me. I meant to put it on here, Austin, about my rant that people have to show up at the office and watch sports. It was one of these dumb millennials again, being like, NBA one. The NBA one. Yeah, you said that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta work on Christmas and all. Oh, I, I, it infuriated me, like, making it seem like I pile drive our employees, like, don't let them breathe. It's like we're a sports company. If your team is playing, Come on. But whatever.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I, I, I'm confused. What?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, you kind of gave us like little like spark notes here, but not.

[Dave Portnoy]

So I got mad internally because the Phillies, we're playing the Mets and we do the live stream of sports. So I wrote an email like, hey, if you're fans of these teams, I expect you to be in the office to live stream these games. Because we live stream and clip it and then a couple weren't. People weren't. And I went on a rant to Rico. I'm like, if you were in the NBA, like, you gotta play on Christmas Day. If there's a game, you won't skip it to be with your family. Or like, if you're a camera operator at this game, you have to be there and work. It sucks. But you know that when you do the job. Here's the girl, this girl, she's doing work for this company. Like, if you're. If you're an NBA player, are you skipping your NBA game because it's Christmas?

[Grace O'Malley]

It is giving corporate boomer energy. And I can't say the word corporate boomer in it repeatedly comes onto the Internet and time and time again proves to us how completely and utterly out of touch he is with the entire world. This idiot is out of touch a little bit today. But if you don't know who Dave Portnoy is, all you need to know is that he is the man who founded and owns Barstool Sports, a company that is repeatedly under fire for horrific practices and mis. You're saying it's a horrific practice and Josh Richards. Dave Portnoy just will not allow that. So just to get it out of the way, for starters, here, let me help. The average, not the highest average NBA player salary.

[Dave Portnoy]

Press pause.

[Rico Bosco]

Press pause. What did they say about me and Brie?

[Dave Portnoy]

She said she enjoys the two of you, but Dave doesn't allow her to. Let me ask this. Let me ask this dude. Dumbass fool. When there's an NBA game on Christmas, who do you think is working the cameras to film these players? Who do you think's working the parking lots, the concessions, and all the other that goes along to broadcast this game to millions of people? How much you think they're making you more on. The people working for me are making more than them. And they shut up and work because they know that's the contract they signed. This dummy also, I will say there's.

[Rico Bosco]

Like two sides to look at it. Like one, it's like, damn, there's games on Christmas or time I want to spend with my family. But also, oh, my work gets to be watching sports 100%. A lot of people would like, give up their job of working in an office for a 9 to 5 to be like, well, now I get to talk about my favorite sport all day long and have to watch.

[Dave Portnoy]

Dummy. Does this dummy think people don't travel the country and not get to be with their families because they have to work to earn a living. The, the people who do those type of rants. This who just goes on like social media and criticize this, this person doesn't, she doesn't deserve the same air to breathe that I have. She should have dumb hair. I should have smart air. She gets dumb hair. That, that like these people. I shut up. Shut. I built this company not taking a day off for fucking 10 years. Go, go breathe the dumb air. I don't like that side of tick tock. I wish I didn't see it.

[Rico Bosco]

Is that, is that, did you just make that up? The smart air, dumb air thing?

[Dave Portnoy]

Did you just make that like that dumb air?

[Rico Bosco]

Oh dude, that is awesome.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, the argument, I lost it. I just was listening today.

[Rico Bosco]

Just one with the air comment. God, that's Wow.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I would be really sad if someone.

[Rico Bosco]

Said that about said go breathe on dumb air.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She smart air.

[Dave Portnoy]

She don't deserve my air. Like pull up the NBA. Does she think those, does she think holiday games just magically appear like that? They're the only people doing it are the actual million dollar athletes. How dumb are you?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, my parents work every holiday too. Like that's like a normal thing for people to work holidays.

[Dave Portnoy]

The mall when it's Black Friday and what it's open. You think those people wouldn't replace. This is called earning a real living. Everybody now they just want everything given to. And I'm talking about just asking my people who are paid well to go sit and watch a baseball game in the.

[Rico Bosco]

They're gonna probably watch regardless. Just at home by the way, because it's their favorite team like you said.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, they want to watch it.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Get the out of here.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I feel like, I feel like I, I forget the lady's name. And you know when people are like, oh, I like them, it's hard to like get on her. But it's a bad take. I think people are like brainwashed by the Internet sometimes to think that you're this like almost like Nazi running a business. You know what I mean? Like there's like no say there's like all these like people have to live in the office and are like tenting up or something.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like it's we're fantasy land. Like there 99% of the male population would cut their fingers off to be like well I gotta go watch baseball for a living for work.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I, I, I think you're probably not actually far off of an exaggeration. Like you know how many people would be like if I know I just gotta like cut off one of these fingers. And I'm good. I'm good. Like, I have a set job that's gonna pay me a salary, and I have to watch sports and talk about sports. A lot of people probably are like, yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Were people agreeing with her?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. But we like Ms. Peaches, but she's stuck with an awful owner. Like that type of. Yet that's.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'll teach. Just a bite. She's a pitbull. I'll teach her to bite these. No one can make me like Dave for I. NBA players get three months off. Oh, wait, what?

[Rico Bosco]

So they're trying to say that, like, they get three months off. So it's. Yeah, that's. They're the best athletes in the world.

[Dave Portnoy]

I make more than that at Starbucks. Not a fan of Bria anymore.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I knew she wasn't going to be.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, I'll never give up on verbally accosting Barcelona Rats on Twitter. These targets of all time. Thank you, Jackie. As someone who's worked with sports my whole career, working weekends, holiday nights come with territory. You make the sacrifice to work. Cool job. No, it's the most obvious thing. This. Give her the dumb air. I want her drinking dumb air. Put a bubble over her head. Just dumb air.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. I mean, everyone that does, like, like, how about the people that are doing the social for the Raptors, the social for the Buffalo Bills, the social for all those teams, like, they got to be posted on Christmas. If there's a Christmas Day game, they got to be doing, like, yeah, it comes. Like, that person commented, you work in that industry. It comes with the territory and you know it. When you sign up, it's not a surprise. The schedule has been the same for 100 years. Everyone knows when games are.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It's barstool sports.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yes. If someone's like, hey, I. I want this job day, but I'm sorry, I'm go. I will not work at all on the weekends, even though the NFL is, like, exclusively played on the weekends. Or if my team makes the playoffs and the Mets and the Phillies play for the first time in the history of the franchises and the playoffs. Sorry, I'm out. Then I'd be like, well, this isn't for you. Like, sorry, go have a job that you gotta work 9 to 5 and hate your life. Hate it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

We. We always do get, like, barstool gets time off for holidays, people to do anything.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's like, I honestly, Davis never told.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Me to do anything in the four or five years I've been at barstool. I don't think Dave one time was like, you gotta do. Do this.

[Dave Portnoy]

I send emails like, hey, show up for this once a year, maybe.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. For the company meetings.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's it. Like, hey, we have this. It's like, hey, Phillies, Mets. You guys should be that very infuriating.

[Rico Bosco]

Don't let them work you up.
