Yo, what is up, everyone? Welcome back to the BFF's podcast. Make sure you guys tap that bell. Subscribe and like the video. Yes. I guess I kind of took it all, didn't I?
Dave Portnoy
Did. Let's get into that.
Josh Richards
Let's go. All right. Welcome back to BFFs.
Dave Portnoy
Welcome back to BFFs. We're in the stew. We're in New York. It's really. I love the studio this time of year. It's different taste, it's vibrant. Yeah, it tastes a little different, doesn't it?
Josh Richards
Yeah, really clean.
Dave Portnoy
Really clean, really good. How are you feeling after we had a live stream last night?
Josh Richards
Yeah, I think I'm. I think I'm fully recovered.
Dave Portnoy
You doing so. Yeah, I woke up. Well, yeah, because we stopped live streaming so early. I went home. I think I went to bed at.
Josh Richards
9Pm Yeah, I think I fell asleep at like 12.
Dave Portnoy
Probably what you do all night.
Josh Richards
I was just watching tv, but I was just trying to drink a lot of water.
Dave Portnoy
I was drinking so much water.
Josh Richards
I think I drank over a gallon of water last night.
Dave Portnoy
Like actually. Yeah, because you. You threw up in the bathroom or something like that.
Josh Richards
I don't think that happened.
Dave Portnoy
I think I don't. Guys, we did a live stream watch at Your own risk. It's on, it's on the YouTube. But we were supposed to go play. A kick in New York would have been much better. I think it would have been better for everyone involved. Oh, no doubt better for everyone involved. And then it started monsoon pouring out. And the live pack is very expensive and if it, we don't have like the equipment to keep it dry. So I think Josh suggested a case race.
Josh Richards
I don't think I suggested the case.
Dave Portnoy
Who suggested it? Hannah. Hannah suggested it and we were like, oh, yeah, sure, that's a great idea.
Josh Richards
It's a terrible idea.
Dave Portnoy
It was a terrible idea. I mean, we didn't do anything bad. We just got really, really wasted.
Josh Richards
Yeah. And I just don't remember like the last hour of the entire show.
Dave Portnoy
I don't remember anything after the wedgie.
Josh Richards
Nah, that's the last point I remember.
Dave Portnoy
I think I actually only remember the wedgie because I've seen a clip of.
Josh Richards
The wedgie that might also be West Trigger.
Dave Portnoy
I think I. The only thing I actually like, the last thing I remember is doing cartwheels with Rhone. Do you guys.
Tommy Smokes
30 minutes in.
Hannah
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Josh Richards
Did I do cartwheels?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. 30 minutes in, we were doing cartwheels out there.
Josh Richards
I don't remember doing a cartwheel. I don't think I remember doing a cartwheel.
Dave Portnoy
I remember you doing a cartwheel. And then I remember, I like remember Pat Bev coming on and talking about his billionaire girlfriend. And then I remember, at least in my memory, at one point you left the stream. Tommy did you guys went to the bathroom? It was just me and Pet Bev. We've never talked before. I'm a cross eyed drunk on the ground trying to keep this dream going. And I don't, I don't know anything about anything. I'm like, so what's your favorite team? Like, so who is your worst and your least favorite team? Tell me about the NBA. What team are you playing for right now? He's like, actually, I'm not in the NBA right now. I'm like, are you sure? You sure? And I'm just sitting there waiting there like, oh my God, when is Josh coming back? When is Josh coming back? Yeah, but he took it like a champ. He's great.
Josh Richards
We look like, we look like fools. Like fools. I forgot we even had the face paint on Josh.
Dave Portnoy
Me too. And I took a taxi home and I'm talking to the guy, he's like, what's all over your face? I go, what do you mean what's all over my Face. I woke up this morning because I passed out on my couch with Taco Bell in my hand. And I wake up and I look in the mirror, and I'm like, oh, my. I didn't even have makeup on. How do I have black all down my eyes? I had literally. My face was covered in black. Did you wake up with black stuff on your face?
Josh Richards
No, I didn't. No.
Dave Portnoy
Yours was disappearing throughout the street.
Josh Richards
You were weirdly, like, absorbed into my skin or something.
Dave Portnoy
No, because you were dripping sweat. Sweat.
Josh Richards
I was sweating.
Dave Portnoy
You were so sweaty.
Josh Richards
Damn.
Dave Portnoy
It's like 500 degrees in here and all I had was that crazy sweatshirt on. We were stinky. They said that it was really stinky in here.
Josh Richards
I mean, that was Tommy.
Dave Portnoy
That's what I heard. Maybe it was Tommy. Yeah, that's. We're gonna. If we ever do drinking live streams again, we're gonna have to do a paywall. That shouldn't be out there for free.
Josh Richards
That is wrong. I almost want to take it down.
Dave Portnoy
I kind of think maybe we should. Maybe we just, like, cut it at.
Josh Richards
I mean, maybe we just leave it as, like, one of those things that I was like, you got to see it while you were alive.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe we should talk about that after this. Maybe we get it off.
Josh Richards
Yeah, maybe we'll talk about it.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. But otherwise, things are great. I feel recovered now.
Josh Richards
Yeah, I slept till, like, 11:30.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Josh Richards
Awesome.
Dave Portnoy
I woke up and had a fitting that. Nothing. Nothing is good after a fitting. When you had, what, 12 beers and two quesadillas from Taco Bell. And you do a fitting with I black on?
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And they're like, oh, you were two sizes smaller last week at the fitting. I'm like, oh, yes. Well, I was also two cases of beer less in my belly.
Josh Richards
Yeah. That's too bad. So did you fit into everything?
Dave Portnoy
I got a really stretchy dress. I got a real stretchy dress. That's good. I'm excited about that.
Josh Richards
Sports Illustrated, right?
Dave Portnoy
Sports Illustrated tomorrow. Guess it should be fun.
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. I don't know. How do you feel about carpets?
Josh Richards
I'm, like, half and half on them, I guess. What do you mean? Like, do I have fun, like, walking down the carpet?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Like, do you get nervous? Do you like them? What's the vibe?
Josh Richards
I don't get nervous. I think I just. I'm not a big fan of, like, taking photos and.
Dave Portnoy
Same. Like, I don't get nervous at all, but I'm like, this is actually the worst.
Josh Richards
I would rather just do a Video or, like, be interviewed on the carpet. Than I would, like, have to pose for photos.
Dave Portnoy
Should I ask them? Hey, no pictures. Can you just video me?
Josh Richards
No, you shouldn't ask that.
Dave Portnoy
You should. Hey, listen, listen. I don't want any photo. Just take a video.
Josh Richards
I don't. They're gonna be like, what? That's not like.
Dave Portnoy
I don't even have that button on my phone.
Josh Richards
On my phone. Yeah. The guys on the carpet are gonna have phones. Sports Illustrated. And they're for some reason gonna have phones without video capabilities.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. I'm so stuffed up. You hear that, guys?
Josh Richards
We heard what you just said. Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. No, I'm excited. Why am I crying right now?
Josh Richards
It's been a long.
Dave Portnoy
Honestly, it has. It's like I feel like I'm crashing out a little bit in an energy drink. At 9pm isn't like my. My most favorite thing.
Josh Richards
You don't love chugging a ghost right before bed.
Dave Portnoy
We're chugging a ghost. I don't know why we put them in red solo cups.
Josh Richards
The vibe from yesterday.
Dave Portnoy
I love this red solo cup. Yeah, but we're not drinking again. This is a ghost energy. And it's.
Josh Richards
It's 9pm did have some wine at dinner, though.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I did have three glasses of wine at dinner.
Josh Richards
That's enough to get you there.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Do you also.
Josh Richards
I only had two drinks.
Dave Portnoy
You had a sour whiskey. Whiskey sour, espresso martini sour, and 20 shots on the show you did earlier.
Josh Richards
That's true. That's true. That's true.
Dave Portnoy
So that'll get you there too. But I'm not really there. I'm just like, whoa. I don't even know where I. I don't even know where if I'm here.
Josh Richards
Yeah. Yeah. This almost feels like a dream.
Dave Portnoy
It does. It feels like. Like we're reincarnated through last night a little bit.
Josh Richards
So it kind of feels like I never even left the office from last night.
Dave Portnoy
We should have had an. You know what we should have done?
Josh Richards
Like a sleepover.
Dave Portnoy
A live stream sleepover. But we just like. Or in the. We just slept in the.
Josh Richards
Yeah. Out the case.
Dave Portnoy
Out the case.
Josh Richards
That would have been much better.
Dave Portnoy
Or just like a bottle of wine casually drinking throughout the night. Like a sip. Like a. Like what a normal people folk would do.
Josh Richards
What a normal people folk.
Dave Portnoy
What a normal people folk would do.
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. But we did it, and that's fine. And that's us. And we're removing it from the Internet, so hopefully you'll never see what we're talking About. Yeah, it's going to be the deep dark web.
Josh Richards
That's terrible. Yeah, that's terrible. Well, should we get into some of these segments that we got?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, we kind of have some fun stuff. Stuff to do.
Josh Richards
All right, guys.
Peyton
Game Time. They don't make it easy to buy concert tickets these days. You got to sign up for the pre sale, get in the queue, and by the time you get through, the best seats are gone. Going to a concert should be about the show itself and not waiting in virtual line. Lucky for me, I always use Game Time, the official ticketing partner of Barstool Sports. Game Time makes getting tickets faster and easier. Prices on the app actually go down the closer it gets to showtime. I was looking at some tickets for for the NHL games and I was easily able to find them on Game Time. So what are you guys waiting for? I'm gonna go get those NHL tickets. Take the guesswork out of buying tickets with Game time. Download the GameTime app, create an account and use code BFF for $20 off. Your first purchase terms apply. Again, create an account and Redeem the code BFF for 20 off. Download the Gametime app today. What time is it? Game time.
Dave Portnoy
So we have a game, guys. It's called Guess who. We give three words to describe a celebrity influencer, and we have to guess who it is. We have three chances.
Josh Richards
Celebrity or influencer?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, celebrity or influencer. Slash. And then me and Josh don't know them, so. Oh, should we guess together then?
Josh Richards
Yeah, did. Yeah, we can guess together.
Dave Portnoy
We'll guess together and then Hannah or Peyton is gonna tell us if we get it right or if we get it wrong. Okay, so we'll go. We'll go back and forth.
Josh Richards
All right, sounds good.
Dave Portnoy
Okay, so the first one, Tiny X vlog.

Josh Richards
Nice. That's what I was.
Dave Portnoy
We could do. We should get an award for that.
Josh Richards
That was quick.
Dave Portnoy
That was pretty awesome of us. Oh, my gosh. Okay.
Josh Richards
We have Puzzle Masters.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Josh Richards
All right.
Dave Portnoy
We should have played more. We should have done more riddles. Yeah, but we should get hired for, like. We should be detectives.
Josh Richards
I would love to be a detective. I always watch cop shows, and I'm like, damn, it looks cool, but I know. It's just not the same as it is in the show.
Dave Portnoy
No. No true detective, though. And you know how they do two new. They do two new stars every season.
Josh Richards
Yeah. Me and you, we go in for, like, one of the most critically acclaimed, best TV shows of all time.
Dave Portnoy
Yep. And we crush because we're brave.
Josh Richards
Yep. Brave and funny and stinky. But mostly brave and funny. All right, fan questions. Do we rip into fan questions?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, let's do it.
Josh Richards
Okay. All right, guys. Ghost Energy.
Peyton
You guys probably see me and Brie drinking these on the pod all the time. We're absolutely obsessed with them. The flavor of the summer is here. All new Ghost energy iced tea lemonade. Bursting with lemonade and finishing with a smooth, sweet tea flavor that is a perfect ride along all summer long. I mean, we're going to be drinking this out on the golf course at the beach, playing pickleball maybe, you know, to start a late night off like all other ghost energy. It's fully transparent, fully loaded with feel good energy, zero sugars, no artificial flavors, and 20 milligrams of natural caffeine. Now sold nationwide for a limited now sold nationwide for a limited time only. Don't sleep on the epic new flavors.
Josh Richards
What's the most expensive thing you own that isn't a car?
Dave Portnoy
Oh, most expensive thing.
Josh Richards
My house.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. I don't own my house. I rent my apartment. So yours has to be your house.
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
My boobs. Do you own those? They're mine. Let me think of something else.
Josh Richards
You're not renting them. Are you gonna give them back? Are you gonna return them?
Dave Portnoy
I would say, but more expensive. I'm trying to think like a watch. I have a watch, but I. I think it's less expensive than my boobs. Yeah.
Josh Richards
I don't know what those retail for. So what is your favorite Internet controversy you've been involved in?
Dave Portnoy
Boa Gate. Mine personally.
Josh Richards
Boa gate. Yeah. That was a good one because it.
Dave Portnoy
Was just so silly and like, I didn't steal her boa and there was a crazy lady saying I stole her daughter.
Josh Richards
Yeah. Yeah, that's a good one.
Dave Portnoy
And I just. It was a really fun night. Yeah.
Josh Richards
My favorite.
Dave Portnoy
Well, I'm trying to think of your. Yours.
Josh Richards
There's a few. My favorite one probably. Probably still softish. I think that one's my favorite.
Dave Portnoy
That was good.
Josh Richards
I think smallest man would have been. If it didn't get taken down. It would have been my favorite.
Dave Portnoy
That would have been. Yeah. So you're like diss track boy.
Josh Richards
Yeah. I think those are always fun. They're funny to do.
Dave Portnoy
We should do another meeting. You need to do a diss track.
Josh Richards
Yeah, but they can't just come out of nowhere. Something needs to happen.
Dave Portnoy
Okay. So bring it on.
Josh Richards
Someone challenge us.
Dave Portnoy
Challenge us. We. I was going to say we could have made it to Santos and.
Josh Richards
Yeah, but it's a stupid. Give them attention for no reason. That's like worth it. Cuz, like they need to bring value by their name. Being big enough where the diss track is warranted.
Dave Portnoy
True. You know Peyton.
Josh Richards
Yeah. We can make it on Peyton.
Dave Portnoy
Should make it one against Dave for leaving BFFs.
Josh Richards
We could have done that. That'd be funny.
Dave Portnoy
You still can. Always. Time. And now we're friends with Pat, Bev and Roan.
Josh Richards
Yeah. They can write us up to write us a Dave diss track.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Will he get fired for that? No, no, no.
Josh Richards
Just freedom of speech.
Dave Portnoy
W Ron in the chat.
Josh Richards
W. Roan in the chat. If you weren't influencers, what would you be doing for work? Realistically?
Dave Portnoy
I'd be a social worker, probably.
Josh Richards
I saw comments one time, said I would be a gym teacher, and I didn't really know how to feel about that. I don't think I'd be a gym teacher.
Dave Portnoy
We're bad. I'm creepy.
Josh Richards
Think I'd be a gym teacher.
Dave Portnoy
What do you think you would be, realistically?
Josh Richards
Realistically, I think I would probably be, like, a small business owner.
Dave Portnoy
What would your business be?
Josh Richards
I don't know.
Dave Portnoy
Vape store? No, a vape store in Coburg. Skinny jeans.
Josh Richards
It'd probably be, like.
Dave Portnoy
I know.
Josh Richards
It'd probably be like, some, like, service company or something to do with, like, either, like, roofing or, like, you.
Dave Portnoy
You. Yeah. You would, like, put in. You would install security cameras?
Josh Richards
That's what you think I would do? I would install security cameras, yes.
Dave Portnoy
But you'd, like, creepily.
Josh Richards
What?
Brie
No.
Dave Portnoy
You'd have some creepy motives.
Josh Richards
No, there'd be no creepy motives.
Dave Portnoy
You'd spy on people. It would. Not even in a creepy way. You just be like, oh, check this. Put the TV on.
Josh Richards
Sitting around with my family. I'm like, come on, let's watch the Jeffersons.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, look.
Josh Richards
Yeah, that's not. That wouldn't. No, that wouldn't happen.
Dave Portnoy
I really do wonder, like, if you didn't move to la. I didn't move to New York. We didn't do what we do. What the fuck would we be doing? I wish that we could see an alternate. Don't you wonder all the time, like, in an alternate universe, who you would be?
Josh Richards
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave Portnoy
I think about it a lot.
Josh Richards
Multiverse. Yeah, that'd be cool.
Dave Portnoy
It'd be cool. I just want to know, like, because one little decision, like, if you never made your first viral video, who knows if you would even be doing anything you're doing right now?
Josh Richards
No, that's a fact.
Dave Portnoy
If I never threw up with a blue raspberry colada.
Josh Richards
There you go.
Dave Portnoy
Would we even be in this beautiful studio right now?
Josh Richards
Right.
Dave Portnoy
Would we Even be doing live streams.
Josh Richards
That's deep.
Dave Portnoy
With Pat Bev.
Josh Richards
With Pat Bev.
Dave Portnoy
Would we even be best friends?
Josh Richards
Who knows?
Dave Portnoy
Still up in the air, if we even are.
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. I don't know, actually. I wonder always if I were to stay in school, because I would have finished my undergrad, but I don't think I would have gotten through six more years of school. So I think I would have just taken my undergrad degree and then made no money and been pretty poor, like being a social worker. But I would have been fulfilled.
Josh Richards
Yeah. Helping people.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Josh Richards
So like a rewarding experience.
Dave Portnoy
Pretty rewarding. I would just have to.
Josh Richards
It's not. But yeah, morally, Definitely.
Dave Portnoy
Definitely. What's next?
Josh Richards
What influencers do you have blocked on TikTok?
Dave Portnoy
Can you look?
Josh Richards
Probably right. You can go to a block list, can't you?
Dave Portnoy
I have obviously Zach blocked. Sophia lacourt. Oh, I have Ken Yer's old one blocked. I gotta unblock her because her friends now. But I have her main account. Like, I follow her. Who else? Yeah, I have like a bunch of trolls blocked.
Josh Richards
Yeah, that's. I think that's all mine is some account called spongebob.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I don't have any, like, influencer block besides Sophia La Court and Zach.
Josh Richards
Do I know who Sophie is?
Dave Portnoy
The redhead girl. We've. We talked about the drama.
Josh Richards
Right.
Dave Portnoy

Josh Richards
Okay.

What was it? Plan Brie?
Josh Richards
No, no, no, I said that was second. No, the worst one I said was Haley Welsh's. Oh, like the Hawk Tua podcast.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, that was.
Josh Richards
I did that one. And like, I was like. I think her first or second podcast she ever recorded was the one I went and like, they had to call me back and do it all over again.
Dave Portnoy
Why?
Josh Richards
Because it was like, that bad. Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Did you, like.
Josh Richards
I had to lead the whole page.
Dave Portnoy
I was gonna say. Did you feel like you were the interviewer?
Josh Richards
I was like, yes. Yeah. Like, it got so awkward to the point where I was like, holy. I'm have to just like take race over because this is like, weird.
Dave Portnoy
That's how we felt comfortable. And it was so obvious. Like, she's just having people make her do this podcast. And there was like 10. Were there a million people in the room?
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And she just, like, kept looking for help or like, people kept suggesting things and like, they would pause the pod and be like, ask them this.
Josh Richards
Yeah, it was like a three hour recording as well.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Yeah.
Josh Richards
For like an hour of content.
Dave Portnoy
Whatever happened to her?
Josh Richards
I don't know. Jail, right?
Dave Portnoy
No, I think she's just doing like, celebrity poker. But she's back.
Josh Richards
Hayley Welsh. What happened with the whole.
Dave Portnoy
I still think she's a very, very sweet girl.
Josh Richards
Yeah. I don't think it was her. Like, I don't think she had malice doing the crypto thing. I just think.
Dave Portnoy
But I also think it is up to you. Like, you have to have some accountability for, like, what you're saying and doing on social media.
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
But then again, I also just do just think she's an airhead. Like, in the sweetest way possible. Like, you just didn't really know what was happening.
Josh Richards
No.
Dave Portnoy
I can't believe she's back. Back at it. Good for her.
Josh Richards
Keep crushing Haley, was there ever a possibility that you guys were going to end BFS when Dave left? Well, I guess, maybe.
Dave Portnoy
But Dave was like, you guys can end it.
Josh Richards
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The pot, like, the option was given to us.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. But we didn't ever want to.
Josh Richards
No, no, no. What was the most trouble you got into as a kid? I'm trying to think of something that I haven't already said. What's yours?
Dave Portnoy
I was a pretty good. Pretty good kid. I've told this story before. It was pretty bad. But I didn't tell it on the pot. I just told on TikTok. I pranked my mom pretty bad.
Josh Richards
Okay.
Dave Portnoy
So it was like, I was really into pranks at the time, and it was April Fools. And I was also really into Dexter. It, like, had just kept come out.
Josh Richards
This sounds like it's going to go terrible.
Dave Portnoy
So my mom was real. My mom loved Dexter. And I would stay up late and, like, she'd fall asleep on the couch and I'd stay up and watch Dexter. She wouldn't know. But I became, like, obsessed with Dexter. So at the same time, I'm obsessed with pranking and I'm obsessed with murder. Murder.
Josh Richards
Yeah. And not a good combo.
Dave Portnoy
Not a good combo. I had to have been. I was still living in South Boston, so I. I couldn't have been older than 10. And so I think at this point I'm like, six or seven. I think the show came out in, like, 2006. It had just come out, though, so it was, like, the big thing.
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And I'm really obsessed with it. And I. At the time, like, my parents couldn't afford aftercare for school, so I would walk home from school, and I was just so mad that I couldn't do any of the things after school. And I would sit home alone, wait for my parents to get home from work. So I'm just sitting there festering. And it's April Fool's Day, and I'm like, how can I get my mother every year for Halloween? I was a witch, but we had the same costume. I would just add more blood every year. So I had, like, a gallon of blood in the basement. I'm like, I'm gonna prank my mom when she comes home for April Fool's Day that I'm dead.
Josh Richards
That's so terrible, Awful, Josh.
Dave Portnoy
Like, not even funny.
Josh Richards
Oh, my God.
Dave Portnoy
Listen to the scene that I Fucking. The massacre that I created for this poor woman. So I'm her only baby. I'm her baby girl. She already is so stressed that she leaves me home alone after work because she can't afford the aftercare.
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And she's like, this is so bad. But I promise, like, just give me three months, and, like, we can afford something. We'll get a babysitter. And I'm home alone. I'm like, all right, this time I. Like, I'm a kid, so I don't know when she's coming home. I do this way too early. I go to the basement. I get the blood. I lived in, like, a townhouse. So, like, you go through the front, and there's like a. You go through the living room to the kitchen, through the dining room to the back. Like, the back exit of the house. There's like, a little towny patio. I pour blood from the front, and I go on my butt, and I scoot. So it's, like, schmeared. Like, I would have been drug out to the. Dragged out to the backyard. So it's just a blood smear out there. Lay down in the back. I get a weapon. I lay it next to me. I cover myself in blood, and I play dead. So I hear. And I leave the back door open. I hear my mom, like, come home. Immediate screams, obviously, like, screaming bloody murder. At that point, I should have stood up and been like, oh, my God. This isn't that.
Josh Richards
It was a prank. It was a Prank.
Dave Portnoy
So I hear her scream bloody murder all the way into the back. I play dead. She's like, I can, like I can hear her screaming and she's just looking at me. I play dead for far too long, like to the point where I hear blood. Like my mom thinks I'm dead. I get up, I'm like, oh, prankshaw. She fucking. I have never been in more trouble. No shit, in my whole entire life. Her makeup was all over her face. She was shaking like a leaf. And I'm like, gotcha, bitch. April fools.
Josh Richards
That's so terrible.
Dave Portnoy
I was locked in my room. Then we got a babysitter and then the babysitter kissed me. Yeah, it was a nightmare. Then the babysitter got fired and then I was home alone. But I never did any more blood pranks.
Josh Richards
Yeah, no, that's a good thing.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, but I was in trouble first for like probably a year. That's the most trouble I ever been.
Josh Richards
Makes sense.
Dave Portnoy
And I never murdered myself again.
Josh Richards
Such a scoring experience.
Dave Portnoy
I felt so friggin like. She tells that story now and I'm like, oh my God, what an idiot. You really thought your baby girl was dead? And I just like play. I just played dead. Yeah, so that was tough.
Josh Richards
Yeah. I've never done anything even remotely close. Like that one time I brought a bin of 20 snakes into my house.
Dave Portnoy
Okay, that's crazy.
Josh Richards
But like, I was like, oh, we can keep them. Like, like I had caught them. I caught them all and put them in like a big plastic bin and I brought them back and I was like, we can have pets. Like pet snakes. All right, guys.

Dave Portnoy
I. We all skipped school one Friday. It was, like, the nicest day of the year. And it was Senior Skip Day. But the seniors, like, I was a junior. The seniors were, like, having their own Senior Skip Day, but they were all my friends, so I was like, I'll throw a party for them, too. So I. They had their Senior Skip Day. I threw a party at my house for my grade, and then all the seniors came after. But I had my lacrosse banquet that night, and we went. So we're pretty. We're drinking at my house.
Josh Richards
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bliss.
Dave Portnoy
And we're just having fun, you know? And, like, not too bad, though. Cause I knew I had to go to my banquet. We go to the banquet, and I'm about to get, like, this award. Like, a very. It was, like, an awesome award. I don't remember it. Cause I was kind of wasting it. But they. She was about to give it to us, and she goes. She, like, starts talking about me, like, describing me to a T. And then she goes, but this person's not getting it because they decided to show up to their senior or to their banquet. When all of the younger kids look up to them. Drunken high. And then turned the lights on, says, brianna and Lindsay, go to the office right now. We were like, oh, my God. We were mortified. And they thought we were just drunk, so our eyes were, like, a little red. But they thought we were on drugs, and they made us get mandatory drug testing. She took my captainship away from the lacrosse team.
Josh Richards
Holy shit.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Never played. I didn't.
Josh Richards
That's crazy that they got up and then, like.
Dave Portnoy
No, it was crazy.
Josh Richards
They kind of got y' all. They kind of pranked you.
Dave Portnoy
Got us bad.
Josh Richards
All right, last question. Who was the last person you DM'd on Instagram? And what did you say?
Dave Portnoy
Jason Tatum.
Josh Richards
More interesting for you than me. Okay. My last DM was, I think, the last one that I like. Actually.
Dave Portnoy
Mine are just, like, to my friends.
Josh Richards
Yeah, Mine's just, like, a meme I sent Gabby, and it was just of this old couple. See how pretty your hair is? Did you notice it? How pretty your hair is?
Dave Portnoy
You're just being adorable.
Josh Richards
And I think he isn't that hilarious. They're asked to take a photo by their grandson or, like, grandkids. And he's like, all right, pop your dress down. Let's see those boobies.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, my God.
Peyton
They're like, 80.
Josh Richards
I was like, oh, that's kind of awesome. So I sent that to Gabby.
Dave Portnoy
But did you see the meatball guy? I sent you the. I sent you a meatball guy yesterday. It was cracking me up.
Josh Richards
A meatball guy.
Dave Portnoy
It's a meatball. This guy going. He got a DY because he was going to get meatball subs for his kids, but he won't shut up about the meatball subs. And it's really funny. It reminded me of a sketch. You got to watch it. You don't have to watch it now, but you've got.
Josh Richards
Is it a long video? Yeah, it's like a minute and a half.
Dave Portnoy
It's really funny.
Josh Richards
Probably not a right now.
Dave Portnoy
Not a right now.
Josh Richards
Definitely will watch it, though.
Dave Portnoy
I was going to DM Jason Tatum to hope you're okay, but I didn't. Yeah, I didn't want to be creepy.
Josh Richards
I hope you're okay. What's he going to say to that? Thanks.
Dave Portnoy
He's not going to answer it or see.
Josh Richards
Definitely not going to. But they're winning right now. Look at that score.
Dave Portnoy
Because I'm not fudgeing watching. What is it, the fourth quarter?
Josh Richards
Yeah. You are the worst luck. We got to talk about that. You're the worst luck for Boston.
Dave Portnoy
The worst luck. Every game that I watched, they lost. The game that I went to, Jayson Tatum, towards Achilles. The games that I don't watch, they win.
Josh Richards
Yeah. You probably shouldn't watch any more games.
Dave Portnoy
No. I was telling Josh on the way here, I was like, I've had multiple people cuz I posted to get ready with me and I was like, for the game. And I was like, I think I'm a bad luck charm and obviously. Very true. And a bunch of like, Boston, like other players for other teams are like, hey, love you. Love the content. Please don't watch the game tonight. I'm like, dude, really? I'm known as the bad luck charm. That's kind of breaking my heart.
Josh Richards
Yeah. You're going to have to not watch games.
Dave Portnoy
Oh.
Josh Richards
But then you'll be like a reverse bad luck charm where it's like, it's good luck for you not to be watching, so that helps.
Dave Portnoy
But I love watching the big games.
Josh Richards
Would you rather win or would you rather watch?
Dave Portnoy
But I don't care if they win because I'm not watching. I don't get to enjoy with my city.
Josh Richards
You got to wait until they have a safe enough lead for you to turn it on.
Dave Portnoy
That's what I thought. I did that.
Josh Richards
And then they came back.
Dave Portnoy
They come back.
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Celtics and Seven, though.
Josh Richards
You think it's growing three in a.
Dave Portnoy
Row if I stop watching?
Josh Richards
Yeah, I doubt it, but I'd say I'd be happy for you, I guess.
Dave Portnoy
My mole is falling off of my stomach.
Josh Richards
Yeah, that's weird.
Dave Portnoy
I can feel it falling off right now. Guys, I have a mole in my stomach. And Boston jumped up because she was really excited to see me and had this beautiful pink blouse on. It was beautiful. And then all of a sudden, I looked down, covered in blood. I'm like, no freaking way. My mole is hanging off of my stomach.
Josh Richards
Yeah, it is gross.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, the face crew. It's awful.
Josh Richards
It's gross. And she won't stop talking about it either, because it's like the seventh time she's brought up her podcast.
Tommy Smokes
Then show them.
Josh Richards
I don't. I don't know.
Tommy Smokes
It's a visual vlog, but.
Dave Portnoy
The.
Tommy Smokes
You can't talk about it.
Dave Portnoy
Should I show them?
Josh Richards
Yeah, yeah, you can show them.
Dave Portnoy
It's not that bad.
Josh Richards
I said you should just snip it off.
Dave Portnoy
See where it turned black? The black part is where the most.
Josh Richards
Oh, my God. Payton almost just threw up. She gagged. I'm not gonna look. I'm actually not gonna look. No, I'm actually not gonna look.
Dave Portnoy
So that part. What used to be like that and now it's falling off. Any tips and tricks?
Josh Richards
I think just get rid of it. Snip it. Snip the rest of it off.
Dave Portnoy
Can't just snip your mole off. I love that mole.
Josh Richards
It's already hanging. It's not like it's there to stay. Nope, we're not looking. I don't want to see a gross, gross ass mole.
Dave Portnoy
All right, let's put away.
Josh Richards
Because you cut it. I'm just not gonna make direct eye contact.
Dave Portnoy
What do I do about that?
Josh Richards
Guys, I'm telling you, just go get it snipped.
Dave Portnoy
Go.
Tommy Smokes
Who gets.
Dave Portnoy
Who's the mole snipper?
Josh Richards
You can go to the doctors, and.
Dave Portnoy
They do that, and I say, just snip it.
Josh Richards
Yeah, just take it off. They'll take it off.
Dave Portnoy
I guess I did get my nose remote removed.
Josh Richards
Exactly. They just zap it.
Dave Portnoy
That's huge mole, though.
Josh Richards
Take a lot of electricity.
Peyton
All right, guys, Roback. You've all heard us talking about roback before, but they just keep coming out with new products that are quality and incredible. So let's get into the demi dress. She's sporty, flirty, made with this buttery performance fabric that somehow hugs you in all the right places. Bonus. It has connected shorts underneath, but they're able to be pulled down. So bathroom trip approved. No awkward situations. We love a thoughtful queen. And this Steffi Active skort. Oh, she's that girl. She's high rise, ridiculously comfy and giving full main character energy. Like you will be running through the parking lot with your iced coffee and looking so unbothered doing it. So even if you've never played pickleball in your life, you'll look like you have a 7am doubles match. And honestly, that's the vibe. This isn't just a cute collection. It's a lifestyle. It's giving. Hot girl on the go.
Josh Richards
It's giving.
Peyton
I have plans even if you don't. From early morning macho runs to chaotic midday, Aaron's rollback has you covered. And don't even get us started on the colors. Obsessed. That'd be an understatement if you haven't checked them out. Girl, this is your sign. You need rollback in your rotation ASAP.

Nice. You just putting rivals together. Is that what this is?
Tommy Smokes
Dave and zucker, rivals?
Peyton
Yeah.
Josh Richards
100%.
Dave Portnoy
Dave would say that that's his rival.
Peyton
Yeah.
Josh Richards
Dave would say that's his next enemy. Yeah. That is me with Tommy Smokes. Hell, yeah.
Dave Portnoy
I hate that. Why does it look like me?
Josh Richards
That looked really scary.
Dave Portnoy
Tommy Smokes and Josh together is Brianna Chicken pie. That's scary.
Tommy Smokes
I did say that. I said, is that Bri and Josh?
Dave Portnoy
That Brie. It literally looks like it.
Josh Richards

Dave Portnoy
Sabrina Carpenter and Kylie Jenner.
Josh Richards

Tommy Smokes
No, for the second time.
Dave Portnoy
Are you sure it's not Anita? Kendall Jenner.
Tommy Smokes
No.
Dave Portnoy
Who is that face? Courtney Kardashian.
Tommy Smokes
Look at. Maybe look closer at, like, the hair.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. It's looking red to me.
Tommy Smokes
Who has red hair?
Dave Portnoy
Who has red hair?
Tommy Smokes
You guys hate her to death.
Dave Portnoy
We hate her.
Tommy Smokes
You hate her?
Josh Richards
Me?
Tommy Smokes
Yeah.
Josh Richards
I hate somebody.
Tommy Smokes
Well, you don't hate her, but you really don't like her.
Dave Portnoy
And she has red hair.
Tommy Smokes
Yeah. You hate her attitude.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, Chapel Round.
Josh Richards
Oh, oh, oh.
Tommy Smokes

Josh Richards
Just Sabrina Carpenter. Nice. Okay.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, me and Taylor Swift. I'm gorgeous with Taylor Swift.
Josh Richards
That is Kylie Jenner and Tana. Yeah.
Tommy Smokes
I'm so tired.
Josh Richards
Kylie Jenner and Timothy Chalamet. That just looks like Kylie Jenner, though.
Dave Portnoy
Are you serious?
Josh Richards
That was like, 0% Timothy.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, there was no Timothy.
Tommy Smokes
You're right. It was Tana.
Josh Richards
It was Tana, though, right? And you just wrote Timothy.
Tommy Smokes
I was thinking about Kylie and Timothy.
Josh Richards
Okay. That's. All right. Harry Styles and.
Dave Portnoy
Benson Boone.
Josh Richards
Nice.
Dave Portnoy
I should do this for a living.
Josh Richards
Good pull.
Dave Portnoy
Who the is that? This is Timothy Chalamet, and it's really hard.
Tommy Smokes
I didn't know either.
Dave Portnoy
Liam Payne. No.
Josh Richards
I don't even have any guesses.
Dave Portnoy
Timothy Chalamet and Tom Holland.
Tommy Smokes
Think in that, like, realm. Like, they're both like Glenn Powell.
Dave Portnoy
Pete Davidson.
Tommy Smokes
No, think like Kardashian realm.
Josh Richards
Scott Disick.
Dave Portnoy
Wow.
Josh Richards
Huh?
Dave Portnoy
I don't know about that one. Who the is that?
Josh Richards
Jesus. This is like. This is like. You almost feel like maybe you should put them down because it's that sad.
Dave Portnoy
Bella Hadid.
Josh Richards
There's so many things wrong with this Selena Gomez.
Dave Portnoy
It's kind of hard. If that's me, put me down.
Tommy Smokes
No, it's. It's hard.
Josh Richards
But there's two very well known bad AI. Charlie d' Amelio and.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, I actually see Charlie a little.
Josh Richards
And Addison Rae.
Dave Portnoy
Okay, let's go.
Josh Richards
Like influencers, you know.
Dave Portnoy
Charlie XCX and Gracie Abrams.
Josh Richards
The hair is.
Dave Portnoy
I like her hair necklace.
Josh Richards
Dude, she got the hair choker on. Nice.
Dave Portnoy
That's Charlie xcxo, right?
Tommy Smokes
Yeah. This one's actually gonna be hard because it's like you don't see the head.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Tommy Smokes
Josh, what the hell? That's literally all we got for you.
Dave Portnoy
How'd you do that?
Josh Richards
That's.
Dave Portnoy
I didn't even know you knew who Lord was.
Josh Richards
I've been educated through Charlie, XCX and Lord stuff a little bit.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Josh Richards
Gabby's given me some. I think you've even given them talk.
Dave Portnoy
About it a lot on the pod. Yeah.
Josh Richards
But I think I've. I've had a little bit of lessons in there, and they're beef and now togetherness. So.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, they're not beefing anymore.
Josh Richards
No. Now they're together.
Dave Portnoy
They're together.
Josh Richards
Yeah. Besties, Besties.
Dave Portnoy
They worked it out on the remix.
Josh Richards
How's that song go? Their song. They did.
Dave Portnoy
I'm in. Oh, if you like me sometimes I think you might hate me. Yeah, I might hate you.
Josh Richards
I know that one.
Dave Portnoy
Sweating, huh?
Josh Richards
I'm not sweating. See, this is why I know it wasn't me that was smelly yesterday.
Dave Portnoy
Well, we're all going through menopause in here. Wait. I saw this question on a barstool podcast today, and I was like, oh, that's actually a really interesting question. Has there been a vacation or, like, a travel, destination or experience that changed your viewpoint on, like, just life? Like, somewhere that you've traveled, and you're like, oh, my gosh. That just kind of, like, changed the way I view things.
Josh Richards
I haven't traveled to a lot of places that have made me, I guess, like, I don't know. I think, like, I've more had, like, camping trips or situations where I've went, and just, like, the conversation has made.
Dave Portnoy
Me be like, oh, wow.
Josh Richards
Like, you know, I'm blessed. Like, more than, like, going to specific places and being, like, looking around and being like, damn, I'm blessed. Like, this is, like, you know what I mean? Like, in comparison to where I'm am or, like, what's going on. But I think it, like, I always go back to it, but I think it's like, the camping trip that I had with Noah and the boys at one point, that was, like, a good conversation that kind of led me to spiritual awakening. I don't know if it was a spiritual awakening, but it was, like, a inner reflection kind of thing. Like, more than, like, a spiritual introspective. Sure.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Josh Richards
There's a good word.
Dave Portnoy
What did. That's a big word. Big word for me right there.
Josh Richards
I'll give you that. I'll give you that for sure.
Dave Portnoy
Big word. Count Brie. That's two.
Josh Richards
That's good. That's good.
Dave Portnoy
What'd you guys talk about?
Josh Richards
Just, like, life and, like, talking about, like, the fear of, like, not ever wanting to accept, like, getting older or, like, kind of like death or anything like that. But just knowing, like, you gotta appreciate that's what makes life so valuable. And, like, in a way, Right. Is that it isn't forever. Like, so you need to appreciate every year you have because it's like, you never get to do that year again.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Josh Richards
So instead of looking at it as, like, this daunting thing that's gonna come, it's kind of like the thing that makes everything else beautiful, if that makes sense. But yeah, yeah, yeah. I would say that was. That was just something that I was, like, in my head about for a long time. Was like, yeah, I feel, like, hate to grow old. I'd hate to grow.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Josh Richards
So, yeah. Yeah, I think that was one.
Dave Portnoy
That's mad beautiful.
Josh Richards
That's something.
Dave Portnoy
That is something. I was trying to think of it. I was thinking of mine, too, and I was like, there's been a lot of places that I went. I was like, oh, my gosh, this is gorgeous. This is beautiful. But I don't know if it, like, changed my view on things, but when I went to Ireland a couple weeks ago, it just made me appreciate good people. Because when I was there, when I met all of the Irish people, and just, like, everyone that lived in the small towns that I went to, they were so fucking nice and welcoming. And I feel like I'm so stuck in this, like, I don't know, just wind tunnel of kind of not bad people, but just people that are kind of surface level or don't really care about having, like, a connection or a conversation. It's just, like, so surface level. And that reminded me, oh, my gosh, you have to, like, step outside of your bubble and realize there's so much more to the world. And I'm sure I could have gotten that anywhere. But Irish people are just so nice.
Josh Richards
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave Portnoy
So I think maybe they're so inviting, they just want to eat stew.
Josh Richards
I love a good stew.
Dave Portnoy
It was a great stew. I actually didn't really eat much while I was there. I was starving.
Josh Richards
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
But it was a good time.
Josh Richards
That's. That's awesome.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. I thought that's a good question to ask. That's a good campfire question.
Josh Richards
It is. It is. It is. Yeah. I'm about to piss my pants. So guys, they don't let me go to the bathroom until we record. It's really weird.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Try to make him hold it so he gets more excited and jittery for the episode.
Josh Richards
Yeah. If you notice, I've been twitching. That's just because I've had to pee this whole time.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Josh Richards
So I'm allowed to go.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. It's over.
Tommy Smokes
Say bye. Yes.
Josh Richards
Okay. Thank you so much for watching. I'm gonna go waz.
Dave Portnoy
Bye, guys. Love you.
Tommy Smokes
I'm holding you hostage.
Josh Richards
You kind of are. I'm also not allowed to eat until.
