[Josh Richards]

I was just cheering you off.

[Dave Portnoy]

I thought you said it was too loud. For a second I had my heads down. Just raise the roof.

[Josh Richards]

Raise the roof.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right, I guess we won't start with me with Taylor. We'll get that into first. So did I. I thought that'd be.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

But I guess this is bigger than that.

[Dave Portnoy]

We'll make people wait for it. Yeah, I guess. Maybe bigger. RIP Liam Payne so former One Direction singer Liam Payne died. 31. Super sad, obviously.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, awful.

[Dave Portnoy]

I like One Direction. I. I was never like the most. Like I didn't know who this was. Like which one I know obviously Harry. And I know the guy second to the right there on the photo. Who?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That's Zayn. Right?

[Dave Portnoy]

Zayn. Yeah. Those are the two that would pick out. So I'll leave it to you Guys, I assume more relevant your age, demo and things like that. But shockingly sad, right?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, no, sad for sure. Growing up, everyone.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Were you a One Directioner, Josh?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, I was gonna say, I think everyone in the age of me debris and even like a couple years on both sides, like One Direction was a part of your life in some way, no matter what. They were so big. I mean, for me, in grade four, I had started a band called four for four because four guys for four girls, that was our genius name. And we performed what makes you beautiful by One Direction at our talent show at our school.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, is there any video? Everyone, were you a side singer?

[Josh Richards]

There probably is.

[Dave Portnoy]

There probably is. I'd love to get my hands on this four for four performance.

[Josh Richards]

I. Let me see, let me see what I can do to.

[Dave Portnoy]

What? What did you do? You were a singer, Josh.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, I was the singer. I was the singer. I was the lead of the band, of course. Come on now.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Was it a band or were you guys all just singing?

[Josh Richards]

No, no, no, no, no. I was singing and then we had Logan on guitar, we had Timo on drums, and we had Gavin on another guitar.

[Dave Portnoy]

How old were you at the time? This is going to be like, oh, this was six months ago. Like how old were you?

[Josh Richards]

No, I was in, I was in grade four, so that would have been. I don't know, how old are you in fourth?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, we gotta, we gotta get some video of this.

[Josh Richards]

4.

[Dave Portnoy]

4.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, we. I, I'll see what I can do. I'll try to get something. But to that point, yeah, I think everyone was greatly impacted by One Direction in one way or the other if they're around my age or breeze age. So it's, it's, it's news that hits you and it almost takes a day or two to set in, kind of.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, it's really sad. And he had a son as well, or has a son, so that's really sad. And reading all of their posts, everyone from One Direction's posts made me sob. I just couldn't imagine losing a best buddy like that.

[Dave Portnoy]

It sounds like he was going through some stuff. He was just recently dropped by his music label. His ex fiance began legal proceedings to stop contacting her. So a lot going on. Was that. Did you guys. Were you aware that he was on hard times at all or was it totally out of the blue?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I was aware. I saw a lot of stuff on his ex fiance would talk about like their relationship and I did see, I don't know if it was a recent Clip. But she. It kind of feels wrong if she talked about it right after he died. But I did see a clip of her talking about how he always played with death, and he was always like, I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die soon, or I want to die. And she didn't know what to do about it, and she took it really seriously. So I guess he was really going through it. So people don't know if this was, like, accidental or what.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Always puts things in perspective regardless. Like, never take a day for granted. And, yeah, somebody who seemingly had everything gone far too far too soon. So sad story to start off with. Lots of condolences, like you were saying, which comes with the territory. But, yeah, again, never take a day for granted. Moving on to lighter stuff here. Orange. Andrew Garfield on Chicken Shop Date goes viral. After having many flirty runs in with Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Delmond Lumberg, Andrew Garfield finally went on Chicken Shop Date. And the interview gained over a million views in just five hours. Andrew and Emilia kept up their flirty tension, but fans can't tell if the flirting is real or he's just a great actor. I don't know. Let's see.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Love them so much. I want them to be. I want them to be real flirting.

[Dave Portnoy]

They're not. Something going on?

[Josh Richards]

Do you actually think that, or is this for the.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I do think it's interesting that we.

[Dave Portnoy]

If this wasn't here, do you think.

[Josh Richards]

We'D actually have it on a date?

[Dave Portnoy]

This is fucked up.

[Josh Richards]

The fact that we could have actually.

[Dave Portnoy]

Gone on a date at some point. Maybe.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, I don't know.

[Josh Richards]

Okay, but, like, take out. Take out all the practicalities and the logic. I actually believe maybe we could have. Without all of this. Yeah, but it's this.

[Dave Portnoy]

Because you're afraid of it. I'm a very private person in my private life. Yes.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Going on.

[Josh Richards]

I'm at home.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I'm more private than you.

[Dave Portnoy]

Go on, then. Actually, tell me.

[Josh Richards]

Go on.

[Dave Portnoy]

Have you ever seen me with anyone? No. That doesn't mean that you're privy to me. It just means you're not with anyone. Seemed real to me.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That seems real. He said they could have went on a date.

[Dave Portnoy]

The only thing. So I had a sarcastic, snide remark that I apologized for at first. Right when I saw her. I said no, because I think he's physically. I don't know. Quite a few levels above her pay grade.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

But above Amelia's.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, I think she's really pretty and funny.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't think it's rude to say that. I think you objectively look at the physicality of two people, be like, well, he's a better looking human than she is. And I don't think she take offense, but he did date the witch. The witch dog. Yeah. So I think it's real. You think they're on the same level physically? Brie?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I think, I mean, looking back at that clip, kind of, I think people just have Andrew Garfield as like the hottest guy in the world because he's famous and with Spider man and stuff. But if I saw them walking down the street together holding hands, I wouldn't be like, whoa, she's, she got a good one, Josh. I just, I would just, I actually.

[Josh Richards]

Kind of agree with that. I think that if it was like, you know, they were two random people and I'm walking down a street in LA or New York or whatever and I saw them walking by, I wouldn't.

[Dave Portnoy]

Be like, no, I wouldn't. Yeah, that's really good picture of her.

[Josh Richards]

And it's a really good picture of him, though.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay, maybe I'm wrong. They, well, but then like, this one and I don't know how to do it, this one. But the Reddit, like, no one, I, I don't know, maybe her, like, wet hair does good things for. No, whatever. This is.

[Josh Richards]

Like, I, I, we're getting a little personal here.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, I don't think personal woman, like.

[Josh Richards]

Well, can you get more?

[Dave Portnoy]

I guess it's personal, but I don't like, if somebody's like, hey, Dave, you're not in Kansas. Wayne Pole's physicality. I'd be like, yeah, no shit. I have mirrors.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Like, but I agree, I agree. But he's not like, I don't know, Brad Pitt.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. I thought people thought he was. And to Josh's point, I guess if they're walking on the street, I wouldn't be like, what the fuck's going on here? Yeah, okay, fine. Like, I certainly don't think she's ugly. When I was saying it, I was more giving him a higher compliment than I was knocking her down.

[Josh Richards]

Not giving her a compliment. You were complimenting him, not dissing her.

[Dave Portnoy]

Correct? Yes, if that makes sense.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, it makes sense. I just don't think it's what really happened.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay, fine. I think they were really flirting.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, I know. And now it seems like they're never going to be able to go on a real date because they, that I don't buy. You can see there's a history with them. Every red carpet he like, walks up, he's like, you're so beautiful. Oh, my gosh. Amelia. And they're like, he likes witches. He likes witches. I don't think Amelia is a witch, but.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, but he has quirky taste.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. And she's pretty and got a good personality. So.

[Dave Portnoy]

Demi Lovato goes viral for being frozen. Demi Lovato has now gone viral twice for being frozen while taking paparazzi pictures while a fan now on the red carpet. Okay, let's see the frozen. This is like a damn big cat cats playbook.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, I mean, that's scary.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, she probably. She did. Probably doesn't want a repeat of the poot picture, so she always stays smiling. Do you guys remember the poot meme?

[Dave Portnoy]

No.

[Josh Richards]

The poop meme?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. I think if you've seen it, you. If you see it, you might remember it. Can you pull it up, Austin? Poot meme. Demi Lovato. Poop meme.

[Josh Richards]

Poop with a P. P. Like, she.

[Dave Portnoy]

Has a face like she's pooping.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Like, pooped.

[Dave Portnoy]

The one on the right.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. Do you guys remember that?

[Dave Portnoy]

No, but that's a. That doesn't even. I mean, is that, like, a real photo? Yeah, this. This thing on the left of the cartoon drawing is brutal.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, they called her P. Lovato. So maybe she just always stays trapped with her smile so that she never repeats this.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I have no problem with that. When I take pictures, I do a couple. I, like, try to suck my gut in. So sometimes you'll see my ribcage coming out a little bit because it's like, I'm going in.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

All right, pretend I'm taking a picture of you right now. What would you do?

[Josh Richards]

That was pretty good, Dave. That was pretty good, though.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, that's good.

[Dave Portnoy]

And I'll sometimes go tiptoes up, but, like, people start talking to me, you know? I'm sure you guys have had people ask for pictures, but then when the picture's being snapped, they're, like, asking you. They ask you a question, and you just gotta. It blows my mind. It blows my mind. I'm, like, waiting for it, and they're, like, talking. It's like, buddy, I'm. I'm sucking in. I got my smile on. Like, which My toes are up.

[Josh Richards]

Like, come on.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, yeah, Come on now.

[Josh Richards]

He couldn't see that bottles of baby oil were close to the table. I don't really give a about this, to be honest.

I was going to say. Yeah, there's 100% going to be Halloween costumes. Yeah, no doubt.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. And they're all wearing white so it looks like a legit Diddy themed party. Right? Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

But if you are going to Nobu and you are going out and stuff, like I get like his whole crew I think wears like. They'll dress up and wear matching suits to go out all the time. They'll do that.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That's their ammo.

[Josh Richards]

They kind of. They just. They like to style. They like to style up. Every time I've hung out with Landon, he's wearing something like a suit.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's. I respect you. You gotta own it if you're gonna do it. I don't. I don't hate that. The first woman on the moon will wear Prada. NASA's planning their first trip to the moon since 1972 on the exhibition the first women on the moon will wear. Woman on the moon will wear a Prada designed spacesuit. All right, player.

I don't even know what the that means. Isn't he straight?

I'm pretty sure Troy Savon will like bring out guys and then like oh, that's a guy.

[Dave Portnoy]

Troy Savon Yeah, I got it. Got it.

Troy Sivan has been big for a while though.

[Dave Portnoy]

Never heard of him.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I feel like he's really having his moment right now though.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, but I. I think I've heard about Troy Sivan.

[Dave Portnoy]

Vinny Hacks is always like the most like charismatic looking guy. Very handsome with camera. But I mean, he is straight, so. What do you mean? He looked played too straight. What's he supposed to do? Like suck his dick?

[Josh Richards]

Like, you know, I think like Ross lynch went up with him one time, like with Troy Sivan as well. And like maybe Troy and maybe Roz lynch played a better gay.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I mean, I don't know that you can criticize somebody is like too straight when he is straight.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Britney Broski booted for doing the Apple Dance. Britney Broski was among the group chosen to do the Apple dance during Charlie XCX's Apple in LA. During the performance, she was shoved off screen by an unknown man. The Internet quickly discovered the man to be Topher Go Roger, a people writer, producer. He had his privileges.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh my God, that's awful.

[Josh Richards]

I had already seen this video and I thought it was so funny. I'm just, I. I haven't seen Britney say anything about it. She might have been maybe. I just didn't see the clip.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, you would think this would be right up Britney's alley to like say something hilarious right away.

[Josh Richards]

Like you would think she would have been on that coming home from the show, right? Like there was no.

[Dave Portnoy]

She had to have said something.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Had to have. Or she's going to on her podcast or something. Because that's hilarious for her.

[Dave Portnoy]

Hilarious.

[Josh Richards]

It almost is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She like disappeared.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like that's what we want. If you're Britney Broski, like, you root for that to happen. It's like when I said any the Internet's going viral but she hasn't said anything. Yeah. Like when I got arrested at the Super Bowl, I'm like, yes. Like thank God that happened. I know. I have like gold content.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's so funny. Sorry, I had an ice cube in my mouth. Logan Paul KSI Mr. Beast Lunchables spin off his mold Oh.

[Josh Richards]

I mean that's not great.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right, well this is tough because well, many customers have pointed out YouTuber Rosanna Passon who has previously spoken out against Mr. Beast has made this incident go even more viral because lunch lunchily she bought has mold. This isn't their fault. Like I've been in the frozen it is but I've been in the frozen pizza business. You're going to get hit every now and again with a bad package. There's nothing you can do when you're like I'm sure you can but the mass produce production like I would be furious. People would send me like mangled one bite pizzas or mo and I what the. I complain. But then Walmart would be like we're doing like millions. Yeah. Occasionally one doesn't make it from the truck to the freezer or something. So it's I mean I don't know that you can blame those guys. They're not the ones packing all this.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. I wonder if there's a lot of people that are experiencing this vers just this like one person.

[Dave Portnoy]

Right. It's been more than just the one person. But who knows? People are just saying it because it could be a batch. You never know. Man pisses in a bag on Cape Air. A woman flying cape is vlogging her experience on the eight person plane when a man in front of her peed in a paper. That is crazy.

Through it's leak it.

[Dave Portnoy]

Through at least be in a plastic air no less than 50 times like it's a I I have a place in nut I've flown it all the time to pee on a Cape Air flight. It almost makes me feel staged like you happen to be live blogging it and someone does this because there's no room on these flights. There is no room. Let me see it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

At this point just Pee your pants.

[Dave Portnoy]

We're having a live play session going on right now.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Come with me on a very tiny, scary little plane to Maine. Let's go.

[Josh Richards]

I mean that didn't seem that fake to me.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, it's crazy.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That's a wild move. How do you really had to pee?

[Josh Richards]

My question is how are you getting in an angle that 1 is looking non suspicious and 2 is allowing you to whip out your and pee in a bag without other people noticing and seeing especially like a flight attendant or something. Right. How are you getting all this?

[Dave Portnoy]

No, there's no flight more confused. These planes, Josh, are they're eight series, they're tiny. They're like you. It would be hard to even maneuver. It's very like these are tiny, tiny little planes. Like you're on top of everybody in it. Strike crazy. Like there's no way to do it without being seen.

[Josh Richards]

It's just like everyone.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That's a balls guy.

This is. Did you guys watch it?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I did not.

[Josh Richards]

I had like an audition to do while this was going on but I popped in and out. It was like Gabby Super Bowl. She was freaking out for three days before this thing came out.

[Dave Portnoy]

I saw some criticisms of like the.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Outfits and the hair and the floor was uneven so people kept like tripping.

[Dave Portnoy]

This was the scene of one of her old, old school barstool people. A very famous barstool incident. I got in a fight with Christy Tegan during the Victoria's Secret fashion show. This had to be, I don't know, 10, 15 years ago. But this is at the time that I was online 247 hunchback. Like I, we hadn't made it yet. I just was always online. My crush and probably my all time crush is Candace Swanepo. I've mentioned her a couple times. Yeah, this, she was in her prime so she's walking and strutting. And I'm still not good at making anything graphic. I'm like, I'm gonna make a video, a Hell's Bells video. You know, AC dc, Hell's Bells. And I'm gonna cut her walk in. It'll cut to her face or boobs or walk with Hell's Bells playing in the background. This is like maybe an hour, hour and a half project for me on my phone to, like, do it. Like, it's really hard for me to do. So I'm doing it. Which prior to starting that Chrissy Teigen was in the crowd. And I. And I always thought Chrissy tried to be too cool for school. So I was like, obviously, Chrissy Teigen's being cool, girl. Chrissy tweeted it. And then I went on my way of making this Hell's Bells video. Christie, who I never interacted with, saw my tweet and she was like, she tweeted at me, at me. Next time, tough guy. I didn't see the tweet. I was like, doing the Hell's Bells video. The entire Internet barstool. People are like, oh, my God, Chrissy killed Dave. Because I was silent, making a hell. By the time I realized that, it was too late. I was just like, I was making a Hell's Bells video. I actually met Christie multiple times and became, like, friendly with her and laughed about it. But yeah, that was an all time. Like, you can still Google, like, Hell's Bells. Christy Tegan's like, Christy Tegan murdered Dave. Like, it was. It had the Internet going D. So, yeah, very cool, though. Full story. Then I did the victorious. I did the Sports Illustrate swimsuit Party. A decade later, Chrissy Teigen was in it. And they weren't letting, like, normal media do Christie. She was like, superstar. And she's like, the only person I'll talk to is Dave. So that was kind of a cool moment.

[Josh Richards]

That's a cool moment.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's fun.

[Josh Richards]

It's so barstool at its beginning was a little pervy, huh? Just like videoing girls walking around.

[Dave Portnoy]

We were young, dumb, and full of come. Like, we're young guys.

[Josh Richards]

Wow. That, yeah. Doubled down on my statement for sure.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. No, it's definitely like guys, like we would say. And that stuff has stuck with us. Like, the Internet was a different, different time.

[Josh Richards]

It was a different place back then. It was a totally different place. Oh, you could say whatever you wanted.

[Dave Portnoy]

And no one cared and we never deleted it. But yeah, you go back and read some of the blogs and I mean, they're. They're very crude. It's like locker room talk, which you couldn't say. Like, I used to call everybody cunts.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, you can't. You can't probably get away with that.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm not even saying women. Men. Sales guy. I used to call. I called like a buffalo. Like, I just. It was a word I use interchangeably. I actually wrote a blog. I want to bring the word back.

[Josh Richards]

I think it's a great word to bring back. I think it's a good word to bring back. Look at the uk. They got a couple things going, right? And one of them is that they use the word cunt.

[Dave Portnoy]

I wrote the main blog. It's like, what is the difference between calling somebody a dick there or a. They're both like, privates, but they're very different words in the meaning. Maybe, Bri, you can try. Like, Larry David actually did an episode on it on Curb youb Enthusiasm, and no one yelled at him. But when I did it, I got. They're like, of course he does. But I was trying to prove a point.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It just sounds so extreme. I don't.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like.

[Josh Richards]

I like it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It just, like, con. I don't know.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, when I watch football to myself, I still do that. If a guy drops a pass, I'll be fucking cunt.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Stub my toe. I'll probably say, like, yeah, playing golf.

[Josh Richards]

Hit a bad shot, top a ball. It's coming out.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, sure. But it's a violent word for some reason. Like, has a different. Even though it's the equal. Like, if you say dick, no one seems to care.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. To me, it's more of, like, power. The word.

[Josh Richards]

To me, it's. It's less, like, grotesque than saying, like. Like, oh. Like, when I hear that word, I'm more, like. Than when I hear cunt. Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Anyways, it was a wild time back there, to be honest. It kind of. I don't want to say shaped how barstool went, but it did because people would go back, man, what they said. It's like, yeah, but kind of everywhere. Like, we had Jenna Marbles doing the exact female version. It was just different times. Tom Holland and Zendaya read early Spider man script.

[Josh Richards]

Like, out loud to people, or they just write to themselves.

[Dave Portnoy]

Is Josh excited for a fourth Spider Man? I don't know why there's. Are you, like, a Spider man guy?

[Josh Richards]

I am a Spider man guy. Love Spider Man. So, yeah, I'm excited. I mean, I didn't. I didn't know I was such A big Spider man guy that I was gonna get the little solo shout out on the sheet. So it feels good to be recognized, but. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm stoked. I'm stoked I got the tattoo. With power comes responsibility. So I'm ready to go.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

All right.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, you. I didn't know you had that.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I mean, that me that gives it.

[Josh Richards]

I mean, it's not like that.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't say I didn't get it.

[Josh Richards]

For Spider man, though. Like, my dad kind of stole it from Spider man and said it to me a lot. And then so it's very d. Like became something that I like always like, would go back to through my life. And like when I moved from la, that's when I got it because I was out here alone and I was like, okay, like, I got a lot of stuff going on. With power comes responsibility. Let's get the tattoo.

[Dave Portnoy]

So that's okay. Fair enough. Dia Zendaya share rock at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame I saw Zendaya. I mean, that is breathtaking. She looks amazing.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I can't even believe she's a real human being.

[Dave Portnoy]

And I. Dia is obviously like super attractive and hot, but I mean, personally, I think Zendaya is putting everybody in a body bag. She looks so good.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, she is like supermodel status, beauty, really everything.

[Dave Portnoy]

She's like just a list of the A list right now. Lifetime releasing Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey holiday movie what's funny is the guy who played Gronk in the Hernandez is playing Travis Kelsey.

Cyrio took to an story to slam the edit saying, it's the most offensive thing I've ever seen. It degrades me. To edit my face and hide my eyes is to erase me. She also slammed commenters who asked, is your green.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, my gosh.

[Dave Portnoy]

Most fans think Cynthia overreacted, but when co star Ariana Grande was asked her opinion. She said AI is conflicting and troublesome. Fans are going to make edits regardless. We have so much respect for her sister Cynthia. But didn't Wicked itself release this? No, that was a fan edit. Oh, the. The one that's edited of is the actual poster, but they edited the witch and the girl is she.

There's an evacuation order, whatever.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I. I knew Alex. I recognized the phone, the. The food guy and the boom guys the most. I didn't. But I like the Alex part.

[Josh Richards]

[Dave Portnoy]

Alex is just moving. I. I would love. I wish I was in that. So bad. Such a flex to be like spooked on snl. Bethany. I know Tommy Smokes got. Got spoofed when he was Vape God. Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

God, yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That thing was such a good moment, man. I remember seeing that, like, it was just huge. I remember laughing so hard at the Vape God moment. That's.

[Dave Portnoy]

Remember it.

[Josh Richards]

My top tier Tommy moment.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Like, is that a top. Is that the top Tommy Smokes moment of all time?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Top barstool moment. One of them is so good.

[Dave Portnoy]

I remember when he. He asked me, he's like, hey, Fox wants me to go talk about vaping. But they don't know that it was a spoof. Like, they're asking, like, because Tom was being a vape God spoof in the office.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

As a joke. And then they wanted him as like a legit expert. And he's. He's really good at that. He's very good at that type of stuff, playing the character. So it was great.

[Josh Richards]

He commits to the role.

[Dave Portnoy]

Very committed. BFFs corner. Pete the Beagle. Welcome.

[Josh Richards]

I saw this. Awesome.

[Dave Portnoy]

And he and Ms. Peaches are like best friends. It's crazy how quickly they bonded.

[Josh Richards]

Good. Because at the start, it looked like Ms. Peaches was a little bit like, hey, this is my dad. This is like, what are you doing here? Pete the Beagle. Get off. Get off my.

[Dave Portnoy]

Pete the Beagle is not cut out to be the star that Peaches is. Like, Peaches if you go out in public, anybody says hello, she's right up, grab her face, pet her. Pete is skittish, so if someone like people see us out and they want to go say hello, he. He tries to bolt. So they're very different in that regard. But I'm very happy. Keeps. They keep each other company and keeps me Miss Peaches young.

[Josh Richards]

I mean, this is the cutest photo ever with Pete lying on her. Yeah, that was like day to backside. Oh, so cute. So cute.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

So getting better.

[Dave Portnoy]

What's that?

[Josh Richards]

Is Pete getting better with the people or not?

[Dave Portnoy]

No, not yet. Not strangers, no. Like me, yes, but strangers, no.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It'll come with time. With the fame.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

All right guys, quick commercial break. So I see away luggage a lot when I travel. It's everywhere. Everyone always has away. And as much as I love the looks, the soft side suitcases are great and always wished away made one. Well, guess what? Now they do. So they have their new soft suitcases which you see them all the time. But these ones are like super practical. So the suitcase seriously looks better than any old school. Soft side suitcase I've seen. Is designed lighter than any on the market. Soft Softside comes in four of their best selling sizes in tried and true colors. So there's something for everyone in lineups. They have two carry on sizes, they have two check sizes in four colors, black, blue, pink and gray. And they're made from a high strength nylon. So the bag is tear resistant as well as weather resistant. So you don't have to worry about it being a soft suitcase and then also getting damaged because they have that all under control. The bag is super soft but not sensitive, super durable, flexible and expandable. So bonus points for their compression pad system that helps you pack it all in with the anti tipping stabilizer that holds the bag steady, well expanded. Both of which are propriety to away. So it's the best of all worlds with these new suitcases. You can check out the new soft side luggage from away and head over to awaytravel.com BFFS that's awaytravel.com BFFs to see the new soft side luggage from Away. Awaytravel.com BFFS let's get back to the episode.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right, well now we're into I guess the swifty part of the show. So gone viral. I went to the ERAS tour and I mentioned here, I'm like originally. Well they did reach out or we reached out to try to get like tickets really. VIP got hooked up, went night to Miami. Awesome. I Mean, it was the same exact experience they gave me, really Brie. When I went to Zach, like, park in the back with the trucks. Like, whisk you in, put you in the VIP drinks. They have everything, like, bath. It was awesome. The VIP was myself, Billy Joel, George Stephanopoulos, who's like. I don't know if you guys know him. He's, like, a political guy. Yeah, I saw. And then what? Dixie. Dixie. I saw. Dixie came. Yeah, she was there. She. I don't know where she was. The beginning of the show with Kate. I didn't know. Kate's our publicist, the worldwide public. What's her last name?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Bailey.

[Dave Portnoy]

Kate Bailey. Yeah. Yeah. Still getting on me for. In skinny jeans, like, four years ago. So VIP area. Oh, and Sarah Michelle Geller, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So that was the VIP section. So many, like, Swifties there. I. I got. At one point, I had to change the. The friendship bracelets because they're cutting my circulation off. Tons of, like, beaches. What's that?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Looks like wrist weights you have on.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I had a million. I gave a bunch away. Wore the jacket. But the highlight, clearly, what had to.

[Josh Richards]

Be the letter, it was Austin.

[Dave Portnoy]

So Austin Swift, her brother comes up, and he's like, hey, nice to meet you. Glad we came. Taylor wanted me to give you this. So. It's a letter. I'm kind of freaking out. Like, it's crazy. I have. It's like the little Dave with the star. How cool is this part? Her 13. She has, like, the old school stamp on it.

[Josh Richards]

I mean, that's. That's. That's some big baller right there. You know what I mean? You're doing letters here, doing candle wax, like seals. Oh, come on.

[Dave Portnoy]

So she wrote me, and I've read it. It's a super nice letter. Dave, I'm so happy to have you at the show tonight. I want to say thank you for always being so supportive, so loyal for having my back when a lot of people didn't. I hope you have a blast tonight. Love, Taylor. Little heart. She got the song, writer, feline, enthusiastic, enthusiast, stationary. So that was super sweet. Didn't have to do it. Concert continues. Austin comes back out, and he's like, hey, is it okay? Like, my mom really wants to meet you. She asked me. I was like, holy. That's like the Gretzky. It's like, yeah, of course. Went over, gives me a big hug, and, like, it was a long hug, and. And she's essentially like, thank you for the support. I feel like you kind of get Some of the stuff she's dealt with because I think implying, like, I've said that people have made up about me and it's like, not true. So she's like, we've seen it. We appreciate it. Like, we're so happy you came. Talk to her for a little bit. So that was also a great moment. Went back to seeing the show. Hugged her again. Walking out. Someone actually got the second hug on video. Like somebody paparazzi it. Like, we basically gave her another hug. Leaving. I also just saw another video. So this is the second hug, and I'm not a hugger, but we had such a big first hug. You had.

[Josh Richards]

We gave you to double down.

[Dave Portnoy]

You got second hug. I did see somebody be like, we're not real swifties because we left early. We.

[Josh Richards]

Someone said you were a performance swifty.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's something different. But somebody paparazzi us. And we'll get to that. Somebody paparazzi us at the show. Is this it?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Dave for his girls.

[Dave Portnoy]

So somebody came up to us in Taylor's camp and. And I don't know if this is true at Zach shows too, but she's like, if you don't leave now, you're going to be stuck here for, like, ever. Like, they shut down that entire area where we were. So they're like, you should leave now. They're like, you could stay, but you're going to be here for hours. So it's like, all right. He bas told us that's when we should walk out if we want to leave. So that's why we did it. It was after the surprise songs. So that's not us leaving early. That was literally someone coming out was like, now's the time to go in this section because they lock it down. Because I guess they let Taylor and everybody in that section leave, and you're just stuck there. So that's why we did that. And then, of course not, of course, the final. So Kelly Kes texted me, being like, the Swifties are coming for you, like, right before the show. And it was this girl who basically said, I was not a real Swifty. This is prior to the Con concert, and I'm performative and this and that. So I had to show the letter. She has since gone private and said, I took the L. I appreciate the grace. Dave Port and I, because I took the Taylor route. I'm like, I preach. Love the Smitty route. But it was.

[Josh Richards]

I could tell you were. You were hoping you. You wanted to go at her a little bit.

[Dave Portnoy]

I thought I proved My point, I thought I'd prove my point being like, oh, I'm not real swifty. Hand handwritten note and handicap. I think the note is better than meeting her for a picture.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It feels personal.

[Josh Richards]

Way more personal.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

A lot of people pictures with how.

[Josh Richards]

Many people are getting letters from her?

[Dave Portnoy]

A letter. There's also some guy, Ross, which I had. I didn't know who he was at the time, but I guess he's like, Travis Kelsey's one of his best friends. People are freaking out that he was there. But overall it was spectacular night. It's crazy how long she performs. I mean it's just crazy. Like three and a half, four hour performance. So overall a great, great time. I have nothing bad to say. And it was insane. It was insane having her brother and her mother like truly be like, thank you. We're very. Not that like appreciation but being like, yeah, thank you for the support. So that was very, very cool.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. So how many times have you read the letter since you've gone in? What is the furthest away it's been from your body? Do you think?

[Dave Portnoy]

Like a foot, like it's been so. All right, the jacket. Yeah, I got the jacket back and it's way cooler than I even imagined. Because people, I didn't realize this, are putting in little notes like of their experience from each night. And you go through the bracelets. It's like Hamburg night one, London night two, like Tokyo. It's everywhere with pictures. So it is kind of giving a little bit of the chills seeing it, the jacket, everywhere. So what I did is I took a picture of the note and wrote like a little thing. And I actually gave KFC's younger daughter. So it's been close. I may frame the note. It's a super cool, super nice thing. Like it's a thoughtful thing to do by her.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

So you have to frame it.

[Josh Richards]

You gotta.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's crazy. Crazy.

[Josh Richards]

You gotta frame it. That's a. It's a cool. It's a really cool note. How much do you think? How much do you think? You know, you talking about it on BFFs has contributed to them seeing this.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

All of it.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's the only place to talk about. I think there's a bunch of factors. I think she's pretty aware of things. BFF for sure.

[Josh Richards]

Nice. That's how I just wanted a little cred. I just want a little credit.

[Dave Portnoy]

I also had mutual for a bit, right? I had a mutual for a bit.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, for sure.

[Dave Portnoy]

I think it's all. I think people Forget how long, like, I've been doing it pre bff. Like, not taking away from bff. No, I have been adamant on her side, and I even told her mother, it's like, you know, it wasn't even the music to begin with. It was like, Kanye stealing the mic is really when I was like, what the was that about? And since then, I've been, like, pretty hardcore. So I think it's all of it, and it's been endless. And I've met Travis before. Like, if I saw Travis, I'd be prior even to. To. To Taylor, I'd be like, what's up, Travis? And I went for. I used to trash him because as a gronk guy. But so I think it's just a lot.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, no, that makes sense. I mean, I remember you talking about, like, the Scooter Braun.

[Dave Portnoy]

Scooter Braun.

[Josh Richards]

That was like. Wait, that was before the podcast. I'd seen that clip before the podcast.

[Dave Portnoy]

And you remember when Kanye was going at her. That was before people just accepted that he was a nutcase.

[Josh Richards]

That was when she was really getting the hate for some reason. Yeah, they hadn't. Yeah, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Because he was crafting a story and he has crazy fans. It wasn't true. And he really hadn't revealed his true colors yet, so.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

It was a. It was an unbelievable night. I couldn't believe she did that. That was like.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It's monumental.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's monumental. I mean, she's arguably the biggest star on the planet.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She is the biggest star.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

I don't know. I don't know if there's much arguing to that, actually. I'm pretty sure that's just the statement. And it is what it is. Who's bigger than her?

[Dave Portnoy]

Nobody. Decisions, decisions. Wait a minute.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Are you still looking for cars on Carvana?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Decisions, decisions.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

When I use Carvana, I found the exact car I was looking for in minutes. Bought it on the spot.

[Josh Richards]

Electric or full diesel? Decisions.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Come on, you've been at it for weeks.

[Dave Portnoy]

Just buy it already. You're right.

[Josh Richards]

Crossover it is decisions decided whether you.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Know exactly what you want or like to take your time. Buy your car the convenient way with carvana.

[Dave Portnoy]

Moms love the pod. After Joff gave shout out to the moms who listen to BLFs, they came out in droves to prove they listen. Well, that was. I guess they do.

[Josh Richards]

Like, hey, I had a feeling, you know, there was something inside of me that was like, I gotta just. I gotta give a shout out to the moms today, you know? And I'm glad I did, because did they ever turn out? We had thousands turned out thousands.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Hell, yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Like, I'm a mom.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm a mom.

[Josh Richards]

I'm a mom. Love to moms. Love to moms.

[Dave Portnoy]

One last story from the Taylor concert. I threw a joke that didn't really land to Billy Joel.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, no? What'd you say?

[Dave Portnoy]

I wouldn't mind if you played a quick scenes from an Italian restaurant tonight. He. He didn't. He. He didn't give me the response. I thought that was like, my entry, like, hey, Billy, I'm a big fan. Which I am a gigantic Billy Joel fan. But it didn't. It didn't.

[Josh Richards]

You've talked about him on the pod, too.

[Dave Portnoy]

I love.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Did he just. Did he just not respond? He was just like, oh, that hurts. That hurts.

[Josh Richards]

The sympathy laugh is.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I didn't. Maybe the worst of the night. Let him be honest.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you do if you say something else and it also isn't like, the biggest hit ever? It's like you've now solidified yourself as that weird guy that tried to talk to him at The Taylor Swift.

[Dave Portnoy]

100%. I just walked back. First thing I say, go, that. That didn't land at all. Oh, the High Noon bride who's left the altar. Response doesn't like the capes. Lander. Dave, my man. My day was hard enough. I don't need any cape slander. But thank you for the hard new High Noon. Save my day, Dave. Someone else. Last thing you should do is criticize her cape after being left at the altar, but definitely give her High noon for life. P.S. the Cape is iconic. It's okay. Just say you don't have fashion sense. Just kidding. Love you. That's fine. I think it's a good thing. I think it's a good thing you don't wear that. But the cape, it doesn't even count.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, it doesn't matter. It doesn't count. You didn't go. You did get married.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. I like this comment. I like. I. I like. I actually clicked the like button on her comment. I like to show her some love. How to show her some love. And she's taking it in the right way. You know what I mean? She's still joking back with us. It's all fun. I mean, I don't understand. Someone's got to wipe this girl up. She seems like she's got a good sense of humor. Seems like she's got the banter. Someone bring that girl.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She'll find her true love.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Maybe next time she'll just, like, fly away from the altar. You know what I mean?

[Dave Portnoy]

I mean, you, maybe. I don't. No one's ever accused me of being the best fashion guy. Like I said, Kate Bailey quite literally has just smashed me for wearing skinny jeans, like, for years. That's all she does. Like, I didn't even wear them. I improved on the jeans. Last one. Is there a plan? Brie update?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Brie plan, Brie update. Right now, we're on a mental health hiatus. Seems to be everything I say on that podcast is wrong. So we were like, let's just stop it for a little bit. We have our tour documentary coming out October 27th, though, so updated.

[Dave Portnoy]

So do we want to do the. Read the comments? A few of them?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, we can do that.

[Dave Portnoy]

By the way, I was going to try to wait to unveil the letter on BFFs, and I just couldn't. Too many people are like, we gotta know how it went.

[Josh Richards]

I mean, I couldn't sit on that. I appreciate you thinking of us, but I didn't expect that from.

[Dave Portnoy]

Also, it was in the KFC video before you even put that out. So I was like, at some point, you're gonna have to talk about it. Anyway, so many people and I mean.

[Josh Richards]

Did KFC go to this, too?

[Dave Portnoy]

No, no. It was his ex with their family and kids.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I actually saw it. I was out. What. What date was the concert? Saturday?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yes.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I saw Gaz out that night, and he told me about the letter, and I was going to pretend I didn't know on bffs because I wanted it to be a big surprise. Yeah, you already put it everywhere.

[Dave Portnoy]

I, I, I was going to wait, and that was just. People are just like, how was it? How was it? How was it? I knew I had this other video of me being called a fake Swifty out there, so it's like, all right, I have to do. And by the way, Flavor Flav people try to do. He was there, I think, the other night. The King of the Swifties. I don't care. That was like. That was. I was just trying to reply to a video so that, that me versus Flav flavor has been totally blown out of proportion. Kanye and Dave are definitely the same height. If not, Kanye is taller. Be so for real, Dave. I would bet my life this is untrue.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Was this an argument?

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't know. You call.

[Josh Richards]

I think Dave just made a comment about calling him. Yeah, five foot.

[Dave Portnoy]

How tall does it say he is? Kanye height.

[Josh Richards]

I mean, He's. There's no way he's five eight.

[Dave Portnoy]

Get the out of here, Emily. Okay. I would bet he's def. Yeah, five eight. Exactly. I just had to look at him. Hey, little man.

[Josh Richards]

Nice, nice. How's the weather down there Kind of thing. That's why Josh is taller than Dave. Because he drinks his milk. I mean, maybe. Yeah, probably. That's a good point. I got strong ass, white bones, man.

[Dave Portnoy]

Growing, growing boy. Maybe I would suspect K and K do not know who Dave is. Is that Kim and Car? I know that to be a 1000% I don't know about Kanye. I know Kim 1000% knows who I am. I have people who are very close.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

To her, like food God.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, he'd be one for sure.

[Josh Richards]

And he's like said like, hey, you got to chill on that.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Richards]

So I mean it's quite my girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Mom hear who has watched every episode because my lover hall passed Dave. But Brie and Josh have grown on me too. So BFF mom squad here.

[Josh Richards]

Okay, let's go shout out the moms, man.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

My lover hall passes Dave.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'll take everyone's always. I guess I probably. I wonder. It's like they can't be Josh. It's too weird maybe so it's like they're like too young.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. Everyone's always mad at Brie, but Brie, just know I love you and you too lit. Oh, I'm too lit. Thank you, Kimberly Duffy.

[Dave Portnoy]

You too lit as a 23 year old girl who works in sports, basketball and hockey. Preach. Dave. We know we have to work holidays, extremely long days and late nights. Dave with wisdom. Thank you. And anybody with a brain knows that.

[Josh Richards]

I saw the clip. I mean the dumb air smart air clip. It got some good traction on TikTok and everyone in the comments was agreeing. They were like, yeah, you get a job, you know when you're going to work.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, it's crazy love when Dave gets fired up. Not the dumb air. Also breed. Just live your life, girl. People hate to see you up. And thanks Josh for the mom joke. Give us more. This person was just handing out cookies.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Handing out.

[Josh Richards]

Has this been the sweetest comment section we've ever read?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, I'm sure it's going to take a turn.

[Josh Richards]

It's making me feel. It makes. It makes me feel like something's coming.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'd give my life to work at Barstool. I seriously can't believe people try to put Dave under fire for times workers show up to work.

[Josh Richards]

Thank you well, this is getting mysterious now.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Mysteriously. Nice.

[Dave Portnoy]

Dave is a Chris Elliott now. It's mean. Okay, do you guys know who Chris Elliott is?

[Josh Richards]

No.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No, but you said it's mean, so he's not. He's not hot.

[Dave Portnoy]

No.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Do you believe it to be true, Dave?

[Dave Portnoy]

No, I don't. Oh, yeah, exactly.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That looks like if you and Gaz had a baby, maybe.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, it looks more like Gaz, to be honest.

[Josh Richards]

It does kind of look like gas.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Gaz and Dave like love child.

[Dave Portnoy]

No. Keep me out of it.

[Josh Richards]

Is that it?

[Dave Portnoy]

No, no, I lost it. Sorry. I don't know where it went.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, it's all good.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

We could end it on a horrible note for Dave, right?

[Dave Portnoy]

We can't get. I like Priscilla too. He's very funny.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

We want a brie backflip during the app. Oh, I never said.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, you were. You were bragging.

[Dave Portnoy]

You were.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I was bragging. Right.

[Josh Richards]

Braggadocious.

[Dave Portnoy]

If you send a video, we'll put it in the pod.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Okay. All right, I got you guys.

[Josh Richards]

I kind of want to live react, though.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right, maybe we'll. Dave is a younger male version of Judge Judy. I thank you.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I like this.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I like Judge Judy.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She's awesome.

[Josh Richards]

Josh, be my date to the Met gala. I have a crush on you. Hotel California. You got tickets to the Met.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, right. I need Dave to not listen to the swifties. The real ones know Taylor wouldn't accept the hate towards Dave. Thank you. I will say I wasn't maybe as distraught as I let on about that girl's comments. I was more like, try and drop a mic a little bit. I really think you would get more attention from her if not for his co host. Loud dislike for her.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, for me?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. I don't. I don't think you ever really loudly.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Hate her or not.

[Josh Richards]

Like, yeah, I was gonna say it's definitely not about me, but I don't.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Say I hate her. I just said I don't really. I'm not a swifty.

[Dave Portnoy]

And to be honest, it's. I've heard that Barcelona part of my take is done, like, dumb jokes. But then you have, like, Taylor watch, like, Kelly and Gia would quite literally die for her. So the thing about barstool is we have people across the spectrum. And then you can, like, say whatever you want, like, whoever you want. Do whatever you want. Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Barstool isn't a biased place. Josh. Try not saying, like, every five seconds. All right, Dangy. My bad, my bad.

[Dave Portnoy]

Dave has got the best superior art complex. It's so funny. Thanks.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Brie and Dave are both waste of air time. Boo.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You just want Josh to talk the whole time.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, I mean, that would be. That would be a lonely podcast dad here with two young boys. Also appreciated the joke. Josh, Shout out from Newfoundland. Okay. Home. The hometown. I mean, not mine, my mother's.

[Dave Portnoy]

But that was a month.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, and the dad liked it. I guess Dad's on here around. I'll think of a dad joke for next week. Give me a beat. I'll get the dads for next shout out. Newfoundland.

[Dave Portnoy]

So that's it. That's the episode. We'll see you guys next week.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Bye, guys.

[Dave Portnoy]

Peace.
