You know that one sandwich you always crave? The one that just hits every single time? For me, it's a simple yet perfect combination. Boar's Head Oven Gold turkey sliced thin, piled high on fresh sourdough with sharp cheddar, crisp lettuce, tomato, a little honey mustard and just a touch of mayo. Simple, but the flavors unreal. And that's the thing. When you start with quality ingredients, you don't need to do much. Boar's Head is my go to because every bite tastes like a was made just for me. Premium cuts, incredible flavor, and that perfect balance of freshness. So next time you're at the deli, do yourself a favor, ask for Boar's Head and build your ultimate sandwich. Trust me, you'll taste the difference. Head to your local Boar's Head deli and experience the craftsmanship behind every bite.
Gabbie Hanna
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?
Alex Earl
Did. Let's get into that.
Gabbie Hanna
Let's go.
Alex Earl
How we're doing?
Dave Portnoy
Good.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Ish.
Alex Earl
You. You had some stuff happen this morning. Did you see it?
Gabbie Hanna
I didn't see anything that happened.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I mean, I'm in the weeds right now.
Gabbie Hanna
Is this with what's going on at the bar?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, the bar that yesterday. Well, must happen Saturday night. But yesterday, bunch of fucking morons had fucked the Jews like as a bottle service sign at our Philly bar. So I've been in the weeds since that happened. In the weeds. Like just in the weeds talking to the idiots who did it, getting everyone's names, putting together a Trip to Poland to go to Auschwitz, talking to everybody. And like everyone wants to interview like local news stations. I had a blow up this morning because like abc so it's just been a hectic morning. It's better than coffee, I'll say that. Or ghost in this because like woke me the up. But it was a interview with abc. They switch reporters. A, they're like, you're doing with this person. Different one showed up, start normal, like, what are you doing? How'd you find out? How can this happen? Answering it. Then she's like, I have to read this quote and it's from some publication I never heard of. And she's like, professors. And she's like, what would you say that barstool sports and you and white men are the reason that this happened at your bar? And I just lost my. On her. It was so out of left field.
Alex Earl
They were like trying to basically say that they did that it was his.
Dave Portnoy
Fault or it was like, first of all, I never heard of even. I'm like, I don't even know where this quote is from. And I. So I was like, what did the quote say?
Gabbie Hanna
Do you remember what the quote like said?
Dave Portnoy
It was that, that barstool sports creates a foster an environment of hate. It was a typical article that has been written by like liberal professors through the years, which I feel like we've kind of shed that. Like I don't hear it nearly as much, but I never heard of it. And she's just saying professors. I'm like, who said it? You're like asking me to react to something. I don't even know where you're getting this. And then it went into. She wouldn't answer my questions. I'm like, well, I'm not gonna respond to you till you tell me what. I don't even know what you're asking me about. Like, I think it's crazy you're saying I'm responsible for this. And then I ended up. She's like, well, I'm a journalist. I'm running the interview. I don't have to answer the question. I'm like, well, I'm a fucking journalist. I run a media thing. And then she's like, you're wasting my time. And I just slammed the computer. So that woke me up. I don't know, 5:30 our time here, but it's the last thing I want to be dealing with right now.
Alex Earl
Is it going to. Do you think they're going to air it?
Dave Portnoy
I don't know. I hope so. Yeah. I always Hope for those things to be aired. I don't.
Gabbie Hanna
Makes them look like it made them look bad.
Dave Portnoy
And this is one of those. It was such out of left field, like, it just. I don't know, it's crazy. So I've been dealing a lot with that. And as I'm sure you guys know, it's just you, you. Once you start. Anytime I try to defend, like, Jewish people, which if. If you said five years ago, this is what I'd be doing a decent amount of, like, you're crazy. I'm not overly religious, but anti Semitism. The last year, year and a half has just gone crazy. Like, I get so much hate. And then once I talk about it, I just get even more hate.
Alex Earl
You get hate because you're Jewish?
Dave Portnoy
Oh, my God.
Alex Earl
Really?
Dave Portnoy
I. I was. I was talking to Austin. I would say a minimum of 100 messages a day. Just being like, you Jew, things like that. It's crazy.
Gabbie Hanna
What? Yeah, it seems like in the last like three years, it's like people just think it's okay the.
Dave Portnoy
That's happened for sure with. In the Middle east with like Hamas and stuff. And I can certainly separate. Like, I don't say I have the answers for what's going on out there. I think Hamas is terrorist group. But, like, that's a political. Like, even if that sign in a bar said Free Palestine, I would have a very different reaction. You're free to think that way. And you, like, intelligent minds can differ on that situation. Just be like, fuck the Jews is crazy.
Alex Earl
When you. When you called them because you talked to the people that wrote it, right? Like the boys.
Dave Portnoy
I went. I was on. I had every name, number, address, because Philly is such a home base for Phil for barstool. So I had it all, you know?
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Sorry I cut you off.
Alex Earl
Favorite bar stool. Bars too. Philly too.
Dave Portnoy
It's a great bar.
Alex Earl
But why did they say they wrote it? What was their meaning behind it?
Dave Portnoy
Which I would expect them to do when they're caught red handed. To be like, we don't hate Jews. We're just blackout drunk. We're trying to be funny. We didn't think the way the bottle service girl would actually do it. I was like, well, terrible excuse. Yeah. And it's like, what else are you gonna say? It's like, it's pretty black and white. I'm like, I don't believe anything you're saying. They're like virtually crying, if not crying on the phone. Parents are on the call of one of them, and they're kind of. The parents are like, on my side, basically. You better fucking tell. Because I'm like, I want names. I want. And they're like, give them everything. It's hard to believe in that. In that situation, obviously. And then I, you know, I was so mad and I calmed down a little bit and I started talking to like, some other people, like the Krafts, who own the Patriots, run a huge anti Semitism, anti hate group, really. And we were talking like, what, what. What to do? And they. They mentioned sending him to Poland. Auschwitz. I didn't know the kids would agree to do it, but they did.
Alex Earl
I see people being mad that they're getting that too.
Dave Portnoy
I'm blocking fucking Jews. Like, I can fight with Jews. I can fight with everybody. They're like, you're sending them, like, they're going to the Caribbean. They're fucking going on a no frills trip to Poland to tour a concentration camp. That's not my version of fun. I don't know. Fun vacation, that is.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And maybe it doesn't help, but guess what? If that doesn't help, nothing will. And they're probably going to drains on society and for the rest of their lives. But I don't know, like, what is what? Like, just post. Their names are already out there. They're getting suspended from temple.
Alex Earl
Like, oh, they are getting suspended from temple?
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I believe so.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Like, one temple announced, one kid is. And I believe the second one, like, the names are out there. So I'm usually put the names out there, drag them, but I don't know, it's like, what does that do? So their lives, it doesn't really help anything. There's all this hate.
Gabbie Hanna
No, I think it's like the constant, like, whenever anyone has, like, you know, someone says the N word and gets caught or someone has some racist thing going on, people are always like, they either just like, cancel them and shut them down and like, just everyone goes at them, but then they don't really have an opportunity to learn. And that's what I thought was cool about this, was like, all right, at least you're giving them an opportunity to learn and, like, get better. Instead of just being like, okay, let's just like, say, like, cut them off. Like, they're the worst.
Dave Portnoy
And I'm sure they're lying to me like that. Oh, we. We're not anti Semitic. And you know, people sending me and it's Philly, so I'm getting all this stuff. Like, these kids are always bad.
Gabbie Hanna
Yep.
Alex Earl
Yeah, we had Someone reach out.
Gabbie Hanna
We had a source reach out to me and Brie and be like, I know these kids personally.
Dave Portnoy
I had a lot of that.
Gabbie Hanna
And this trip will not change.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. So.
Gabbie Hanna
At all.
Dave Portnoy
So, all right. You just put their names and lights and they're still. And. And behind closed doors or what? I mean, you have to be so dumb to do in a public bar as our bottle service girl.
Alex Earl
I couldn't fucking believe.
Dave Portnoy
That's.
Gabbie Hanna
That's the thing I didn't get.
Dave Portnoy
I had the worst conversation with her. She was the one that I was the most like, is this the dance recital girl?
Gabbie Hanna
The girl that was at the dance?
Brianna Chickenfry
Yes.
Dave Portnoy
Like, she's like, I'll call you back in 20. I'm like, are you fucking out of your mind? Like, now? It's like, now or never. And her original was like. I was confused. I don't know what to make of, like, political statements. That was weird. Like, that's not a political statement. She also circumvented the rules. Like, you're. If it's remotely controversial, you should ask the manager. She didn't do that. She said she, like, yelled across the bar. The manager shrugged because she couldn't hear her. And then she just did it. She built it herself. And then she kind of. I felt bad for the second ish. The second bottle service girl, because she was far more like, I'm so sorry. I said it was bad. I didn't want to do it. They texted me, like, a second before, like, the sign was built. They texted me like, we need help bringing this. The girl said, this dancer girl. And she's like, we can't do this. She's like, we gotta go now. They're yelling at me at the table like, they. Maybe she just want tip. But she's like. I was like, we can't do it. We can't do it. And they're like, just shut up and do it. And she's like, I did it and I regret it. She was, like, in tears as well. So I felt they both got fired, but I felt more like she didn't have time to think. It almost seemed like they got texted, came up like, what the fuck are we doing? And then it happened. The kids at the table also are adamant. It's like, we didn't force the waitress to do anything. We said it and she did it. No problems. And that's the vibe I got from her.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Alex Earl
She was just like, I don't know. I just did it because.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, if you say political on that.
Alex Earl
On fuck The Jews.
Dave Portnoy
That, to me means you kind of have an agenda in your head. And the way she, like, really. Like I asked her, I'm like, what if it said fuck black people or fuck Asians? Would you have done it? She's like, no, that's what we were saying.
Alex Earl
Like, what is the difference? Because people are like, it's free speech. You can say fuck the Jews, but you can't come out and write, fuck black people, Asians.
Dave Portnoy
Free speech thing. You can say whatever the fuck you want. First of all, it's my bar. It's a private bar.
Gabbie Hanna
It's a private bar. So you have the right.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I can do whatever. And you can say things and there can be consequences. Like, yeah, like, somebody sent a random dude today. Every once in a while, they'll get me. It's just like, the Jews, like, first of all, why would you send that to me? Random. What if I post that? You're gonna get fired. And he's like, for what? Like, hate speech. He literally sent me a screenshot. Hate speeches protected. I'm like, no shit. But, like, there's consequences.
Alex Earl
It doesn't take away from the fact that it's hate.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, right.
Alex Earl
Like, you're still being hateful.
Dave Portnoy
You're okay with that being broadcast into the world? It's just. It's tough sometimes. You gotta step outside of social media. And I think people are desensitized to it to a degree, but it's not what I like dealing with. It's really been a shitty 24 hours.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And then people will be like, well, he's doing this for attention. Typical Jew. All this shit. It's. I pretty fit, skinny, but I'll wear.
Gabbie Hanna
A win in this situation.
Dave Portnoy
Wears you down.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. Yeah.
Alex Earl
I never. I've never seen you so upset over something.
Dave Portnoy
I'm not even overly religious. It's like, I tell people. It's like, when you say the Jews, you're talking about my parents, my sister, my family, my grandparents. Like, do you not get that you don't know me. It's. It. It is a really crazy thing, and it's gone up, like a hundred million percent in the last year or two.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Alex Earl
Yeah. It's a lot different than saying Barstool Dave Portnoy.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, totally. And I don't care about that stuff, but, yeah, it's been it. So. I mean, I was shocked when I saw it. It was crazy.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. No, I couldn't. I couldn't believe that.
Alex Earl
Yeah, well, even in the video, everyone was like, no, it looked like, no one wanted to be there or in the video.
Dave Portnoy
A couple of girls. So I talked to the girls. She's like. I was appalled. Like, I. I have a nervous. Like, I didn't know what to. And I kind of get that. It's like, I'm sure very rarely, like, the girl's not ordering what's on the sign. She's at the table. Like, they bring it out in a camera in your face.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Like, what? It's a tough situation. Is that a reason to ruin someone's life? I don't think so.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. And I've been at tables, too, before where I had no idea what someone else, you know, put in for the table order, and it comes over in the sign and it's some, like, joke at me or whatever and whatnot. Like, a lot of times there are people at the table that don't know what's going on too. Right?
Dave Portnoy
Totally. And you're drinking is late. I did one positive video a girl sent me. She screamed at the waitress, like, different table. She's like, does that say, fuck the Jews? What the fuck are you doing? And the waitress just kind of blew it off.
Alex Earl
What an idiot. Waitress.
Dave Portnoy
Idiot waitress.
Alex Earl
Idiot waitress. Oh, my. Did you, like, put her information out there?
Dave Portnoy
I haven't yet. My thought process on that. Total idiot. But she didn't ask for the situation. Like, you go to work, these kids, these morons put it on, and she makes a bad decision. But it, like, wasn't F minus handling it. But it, like, wasn't words. Her who came up with the idea. Yeah, yeah, but we did. We fired her.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. Should be. Should be fired.
Alex Earl
But now we're in Scottsdale for the BET Gala.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, that was a heavy start to the heavy start.
Alex Earl
But that's all I'm seeing. It's all over everywhere.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. KFC could have maybe used a little bit of a better wording for the title of his video.
Dave Portnoy
Nothing he did. I didn't see it, but what did he do?
Alex Earl
He.
Gabbie Hanna
He titled. His video was like, Dave's. Like, just the way it was like, Dave. Dave sends kids to Auschwitz. We were just like, like, I'm. I see this title come up. I'm like, oh, my God.
Dave Portnoy
He probably did that on purpose.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, definitely clickbait. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It could have been worded a little different or use some context, you know what I mean? But, yeah, wild title.
Alex Earl
All right, guys, quick commercial break for Ghost. We love Ghost. We're out here in Scottsdale right now. I didn't get much sleep because the time difference kind of messed me up. We have the back gala, so I'm drinking my Ghost energy. We got orange Creamsicle today. Josh is over there laughing, farting in my face. Really? That's out of control. Farting in my ghost energy. What is wrong with you? Look at this. We got our orange cream. This is amazing. Also, Ghost listened. They're keeping the Straw Bango flavor forever. There will be no farts in it. And it's now sold exclusively at Circle K, so make sure to try it out like all other Ghost Energy. It's fully transparent, fully feel good energy, zero sugars, zero artificial flavors, and 200 milligrams of natural caffeine so it doesn't make you all jittery and crazy feeling. It's now sold nationwide at Circle K stores. I'm here to stay. Yeah. Back to the show. It's thanks. Like ass. When I were in Scottsdale for the BET Gala. Which is a play on the Met Gala.
Dave Portnoy
Correct. So the Met Gala has always been like a dream invite for me. For some odd reason, I find it fascinating. We have a huge deal with DraftKings, and then it's also generally a huge sports day because you have NBA playoffs going, NHL, mnlb. So last year we're like, let's do our own thing where we just dress up and bet and try to get, like, not only barstool, but celebs and stuff involved. It's gonna be a lot of bars, a few celebs, and the bar is gonna be decked out, like, pretty fancy.
Alex Earl
And we, we bet, right?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, you bet.
Alex Earl
We're betting.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, you bet. It's like a red carpet.
Gabbie Hanna
It's the name.
Alex Earl
I know, but, like, have you ever bet before? I bet. I bet on the horses.
Dave Portnoy
Kentucky Derby.
Alex Earl
Yep. I bet on Kentucky Derby. I won.
Dave Portnoy
You had Sovereignty.
Alex Earl
Yep, I had sovereignty.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had Sovereignty as well, which kind of. I had to go both.
Alex Earl
I did Sandman too.
Gabbie Hanna
I pulled Sovereignty from a hat, and I was like, how close?
Dave Portnoy
Griffin.
Gabbie Hanna
At this point, me and Griffin are like, best friends.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. So, I mean, that's celly.
Gabbie Hanna
I saw the money on Sandman.
Dave Portnoy
I saw the celebration. If I'm celebrating either way, my horse and, and, and one of my friends was celebrating like, that. I would have been like, not good.
Gabbie Hanna
I, I texted Griffin right away.
Alex Earl
Griffin's video sobbing.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Alex Earl
And then he's up and dancing, jumping up and down.
Gabbie Hanna
Okay.
Dave Portnoy
I texted Griffin earlier. I, I, I, I don't know if he told you this. I just texted him, stop living My dream.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. I think he did tell me something.
Dave Portnoy
Because, like, I've been in horses now forever. I love it. I love gray horses. Like, I. The name of my stable is Go Go Grays. I only want grays. So he gets into it. First horse last year is his first race. Kentucky Derby.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And all of a sudden, I'm seeing him with, like, being like, I own Sandman. And first I've said it on the show, I'm like, there's no way he owns Sandman. Maybe a toenail. Because I know how horses go. The horse costs $1.2 million. Yeah. I can't afford that.
Gabbie Hanna
He has. He has a minority.
Dave Portnoy
2.5, so.
Gabbie Hanna
2.5, exactly.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. And the group is. Is a group that sells shares in a horse, but they gave it to him in exchange for publicity. They got that. Times Infinity has been great.
Gabbie Hanna
He did a phenomenal job.
Dave Portnoy
But still, the odds of that horse that they gave him getting to the Derby and being like, close is insane.
Gabbie Hanna
Insane.
Dave Portnoy
And I was getting questions about it, and he was super nice. He's like, honestly, the reason I started getting interested in horses was because of you. Like, I saw all your stuff. So I did get a little frustrated because people are. I was happy for him. But I saw during the Derby, a lot of the commentators, like, for the first time ever, we can talk to, like, Gen Z. It's like, I. I was on BFFs for, like, 10 years, and I. All I do is horse racing.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And nobody said boo to me. He's getting the run around.
Gabbie Hanna
But yeah. Yeah. He was on, like, the news above, everywhere. My dad was sending videos of Griffin doing interviews and everything like that. Yeah. Yeah. No, I was. I was. I was happy he got that far. It was probably not the end he was hoping for, but it's. How do you, like.
Dave Portnoy
I don't ever have a horse in the Derby. Like, it is so fucking hard to do.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Alex Earl
Very horses do you have?
Dave Portnoy
I have, like, four or five now. But I don't do it like, I want it. Like, I was offered 10% of a horse in the Derby before the Derby. It would have cost me a million bucks. The horse is probably worth 10. He actually scratched. He's tapping Street. He beat Sovereignty. He probably. He could have won the race. I didn't want to do it. Not because of the money, but I like, what. What Griffin did. I want to see the horse as a baby. I want to. Like, I'm not.
Gabbie Hanna
Griff's at the stable with it.
Dave Portnoy
He's feeding it I'm not just doing it. Like, do you really own it if you just bought it right before? So. No, no, I want to buy it as a baby. I want to watch it. That's so hard because I've said it before, people think, like, the money involved in horse racing is just.
Gabbie Hanna
And you don't really make money until they win. And then you sell their semen, Right?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, for the most part. And you really. Nobody makes money in horse racing.
Gabbie Hanna
Nobody.
Alex Earl
For fun.
Dave Portnoy
It's a. It's a very rich person hobby. Like the people who. Like the Mike Rapoles and Godolphin who won. I mean, it's like a billionaire chic.
Alex Earl
When the. When the sovereignty won, how much did the owner win?
Dave Portnoy
5 million. Oh, it's the total pot. I thought the total part was maybe.
Gabbie Hanna
Maybe. Yeah.
Alex Earl
But then they have to split it from everyone that owns the horse.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
For these guys, they own it themselves. Oh, but it's a chic. I mean, it's.
Gabbie Hanna
If 5 mil isn't doing anything, they're.
Dave Portnoy
Probably spending 200 million a year minimum on horses.
Alex Earl
What? Oh. So it's just a little fun.
Dave Portnoy
Rich people, they have so many horses. So it's like if you have 500 horses, one's got to win. You hope one.
Gabbie Hanna
I saw something for this year, like, every single horse in the race was related to Back to the same one horse, Secretariat.
Dave Portnoy
I saw that. I don't know if that's true. I saw that.
Gabbie Hanna
They were all just all coming down from Secretary. Yeah. Because everyone just wants the winning horses. Jeans.
Alex Earl
That's crazy.
Dave Portnoy
Did you like where you were sitting?
Gabbie Hanna
The turf Club?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. I hated your seats.
Gabbie Hanna
Oh, okay. I was pretty happy with them.
Dave Portnoy
I hated them, but I like the seats. Just too much commotion. I don't even know how did you, like, sit there? Because you were with Alex Earl and like, I assume you guys are getting bothered for pictures. Yeah. Every one second there was a.
Gabbie Hanna
There was a lot of photos.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. See that? I can't, like, I'm handicapping. I'm trying to. I. You can't. There's not a second yourself where you were sitting.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, it wasn't. I mean, when we got down into our seats, like, you can't, like, go through those glass doors and come down and hang out with us in those seats.
Dave Portnoy
You were through the glass door.
Gabbie Hanna
We were through the glass door. Down, like at the tables.
Dave Portnoy
Like, oh, maybe you were not where I thought.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. Like, you know how there's like the turf club and that's inside.
Dave Portnoy
Yes.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. So we Would go outside the glass doors, all the way through. Outside the glass doors, sitting down. The only time it was, like, hectic is when we go in and grab.
Dave Portnoy
Food, which, again, shows the ultimate disrespect that I'm given. We were on the other side of the glass doors. We. We. I asked to go through the glass doors because I'm like, I can't.
Gabbie Hanna
Probably didn't have the right wristband.
Dave Portnoy
I don't want to be, like, a dickhead, but, like, I can't sit out here because I'm going to be harassed. And why I say, I usually, I don't care, but I'm trying to pick my horses. They said, nope, you're on the other side. So that makes sense. That's why we didn't go back. That's why we watched it. Miami.
Gabbie Hanna
Oh, okay. Yeah. Because everyone was coming up to me, you know, being like, why isn't Dave here this year? Why isn't Dave here this year?
Alex Earl
I would have assumed you were going to be there.
Gabbie Hanna
I actually had, like, a stoolie fan come up and was like, I sit beside Dave every year.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. That's why he's not here.
Gabbie Hanna
So I'll let that guy know you're the one that drove him away.
Dave Portnoy
All right, that makes sense, because I'm like, how are they sitting there?
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. No. And people gamble like crazy in there.
Alex Earl
How much did Braxton win?
Gabbie Hanna
He won. So everyone's reading the lips from his video, and they think he won 500k on betting? On the winning?
Alex Earl
Yeah. How much did he win?
Gabbie Hanna
He bet $500. Oh, so he won, like, I think it was 4 grand or something like that, but it was like, everyone was like, he won $500,000.
Dave Portnoy
What?
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. You would have to have put down, like, what was it? I think the odds did change before to a little bit more bet. Like, we made more money because the odds changed when it was, like, wet dirt or something like that.
Dave Portnoy
You would have had to bet, like, close to 100k.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Alex Earl
Oh, God. Yeah. No, he only bet 500 bucks.
Gabbie Hanna
I think it was 8x when we bet it.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, it was around 7 to 1, I think.
Gabbie Hanna
Off at so crazy. You would have had to bet a good amount of money, but.
Alex Earl
Yeah. Want to do headlines with Dave?
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, let's do it.
Alex Earl
It's been. It's been a while.
Dave Portnoy
Yep.
Alex Earl
All right, first up, we got Alex Cooper. She has a Hulu docu series. Call her Alex. It's going to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival June 8, Hulu June 10, and predictions like, what do you think? Will it be included? Do we think Sophia F. Will be a part of it? Is Dave in it? Did you know about this?
Dave Portnoy
I knew she was doing the doc because I'm not in it. I don't believe. But she came through the barstool office with a crew and tried to, like, pretend that she was like, buddy, buddy with everybody. Everybody was like, this is the nicest you've ever been to us since we've known you. Like, I heard it was a very awkward. She'd be like, hey, hey. Like, Nate. My buddy Nate's like, what? So I think there will be a part of barstool. I would say it is not a realistic showing interpretation of her career with us. I mean, I get along with her, but she barely acknowledged the existence of anyone else in our company. But I assume that part will be in it. Will Sophia with an F be a part of it? I would be stunned.
Alex Earl
No way in hell. I don't think. Maybe, though, if Alex is smart. She is. It would do better if Sophia, with.
Dave Portnoy
An effort, if they ever came back together for, like, a pod or something, it would be gigantic. But I. I don't see any possible way that's gonna happen.
Alex Earl
Yeah, yeah. No. No way. Now, that would be. I would. I would tune in for that, though.
Gabbie Hanna
So it's just, what, a docu series on her life? It's just.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I think she had that crew following around for quite a bit.
Gabbie Hanna
So, like, wedding might be included.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, Yeah, I could see that.
Alex Earl
Sure.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.
Alex Earl
Probably, like, all of, like, the unwell styles.
Dave Portnoy
I. I think they'd show too much. Like, I don't know when they stopped feeling like. Stop filming. Like, I don't think they show, like, the Alex, Earl, Alex Cooper split, even if they had the footage.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Alex Earl
That was only, like, what, two weeks? Two months ago?
Gabbie Hanna
Definitely longer than two weeks ago.
Alex Earl
I have no sense of time.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, yeah.
Alex Earl
Travis. Kelsey.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. What did you think about this? Are you following still anything of, like, that Blake Live a little bit.
Dave Portnoy
Obviously a swifty. So.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, Yeah. I see you doing, like, paparazzi interviews. And, like, the comments will be like, gosh, Dave definitely misses bffc. Gave this, like, paparazzi interview. Guys so much time, like, because you're just, like, missing the gossip.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, that guy. That guy hits me. No, I. I'm obviously on Travis. Anything. Travis and Taylor. I'm on their side. I saw the interview with your girlfriend. That was funny. She called Blake a.
Alex Earl
What is she a. Or something?
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, she, like, what Is she a. Yeah.
Alex Earl
Has there been anything. Cuz last time you came on BFFs, you sat down and you had so much to say. Has there been any drama you've been.
Dave Portnoy
Trying to talk about that was more recent than BFFs? That. That last time I was on BFFs was more recent than when I stopped. So my timeline was still BFF focused.
Gabbie Hanna
Effect still had things coming.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. So I'm not seeing anything now. Like I'm on Beagle talk and like Peach Pitbull talk. What else is on my. I'm not seeing. I don't.
Gabbie Hanna
Is not a lot of drama world.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I'm not seeing the drama. So I don't know what's really going on.
Alex Earl
There's a big drama, the James Charles drama again.
Gabbie Hanna
Do you want to run them through this?
Alex Earl
Okay, yeah, I'll run you through it. So there was this girl. You. We've talked. We might have talked about her on BFFs while you were on it before, like watched her videos. But her name is Kayla and she was best friends with James Charles for a while. They did a bunch of videos together. Kayla was dating this guy named Evan for a while and she came forward about like a month ago, a month and a half ago with solid proof crazy videos of her boyfriend Evan, like beating the crap out of her. Like really, really deranged crazy videos. She would have, like there was videos of him like punching her in the head. All this crazy stuff.
Gabbie Hanna
And he's been arrested.
Dave Portnoy
He's been arrested here.
Gabbie Hanna
He's.
Dave Portnoy
He's arrested and awaiting a trial.
Alex Earl
Yeah, they're going. She's flying. I know she's flying into a trial like right now. She might be in LA for court right now. But anyway, James knew that she was being abused by this Evan guy. And after she had come forward with it, she brought it all into the Internet. James Charles reached out to Evan and was like, I understand what you're going through. Like people are always going to try to put you down. You can like stay with me. I'll take care of you. So he like housed him Evan guy and also was like having. Hooking up with him, sending him crazy pictures, going back and forth. This Evan guy was with James Charles all while he knew all of this crazy stuff. He's still getting like sexual harassment allegations against him. And then like people came forward and he housed this Evan dude and like was having sexual relations with them while he knew about the Kayla stuff.
Dave Portnoy
What has James Charles said?
Alex Earl
He's been absolutely silent there Was a video of him on the Hollywood fix. Did you see that?
Gabbie Hanna
No, I didn't.
Dave Portnoy
So Kayla is the one saying James knew about all this.
Alex Earl
Yes.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, they were like, they were like good friends.
Dave Portnoy
But there's no proof or there is proof that he knew.
Alex Earl
I think there is. Like she talks about it in her video when she first came forward, before all of this came out that like all of her friends knew about it. She showed them in Evan also. So there's this one guy who did a sit down interview.
Gabbie Hanna
The guy, the cardigan, I think his name's Zach Zack.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
He's the other friend in this friend group. Zach is like an out. He wasn't involved in any of the sexual.
Alex Earl
He was best friends with Evan and watched all of it unfold between Evan and James Charles. And James Charles. And Evan would talk about what would happen with Kayla. So like James Charles knew about everything.
Dave Portnoy
He can't stay out of trouble. He's been in trouble since we started this thing. Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
I don't understand how it's still. It still goes on.
Dave Portnoy
And I'm not saying it's always true, but if you don't address the like, if you don't hit this head on, be like, this is fucking not true. This is fake. I tend to believe maybe you're guilty because why else would you be quiet?
Gabbie Hanna
And they're not ever light allegations.
Dave Portnoy
No.
Gabbie Hanna
It's like, it's like boys. It's like, you know what I mean.
Dave Portnoy
This guy to fuck.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And that's why. So that's breaking out. He wanted to hook up with this guy. So he kept the allegations so he could pay to have sex. And the other guys were like, money's money. So you just have gay sex for money?
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Wow.
Alex Earl
And he was like, this is the only thing that will keep me relevant because Evan guy wanted to be super famous. And then James Charles was like, I can help you. Just stay quiet. Don't say anything. Pretty insane. But I don't. I don't know if he'll come back from this one. But who knows? We say this.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. He always. He's the bounce back king.
Alex Earl
King, queen. Yeah. Queen, green, whatever. I don't know. Yeah, but he hasn't said anything yet. Chester.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. Because he's a joke. You know the guys that.
Dave Portnoy
Oh.
Gabbie Hanna
Or clown. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man. I don't know. You can't be. Well, maybe you could be. I guess maybe if you're down that bad, you can't really be straight and then accept Gay sex for money. Can you? You'd have to have a little gay in.
Brianna Chickenfry
Yeah.
Alex Earl
You just got to be broke.
Dave Portnoy
But how do you get hard?
Gabbie Hanna
That's what, that's kind of where my point.
Alex Earl
Unless you're taking it.
Dave Portnoy
That's a good point.
Alex Earl
Right. If you're at his bottom.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. Or, or you're just blowing. Maybe you're just blowing.
Alex Earl
Yeah. Blowing and catching. Right? Yeah, I think like.
Gabbie Hanna
And these are the things you've missed, right?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
Right. All right. You gotta. Been following the Bill Belichick. Yeah. And Jordan situation here.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Yeah.
Alex Earl
Is there more to come out of it?
Gabbie Hanna
Well, it's kind of like, I guess she's just a very controlling.
Dave Portnoy
I tried to get her to go on chicks in the office.
Alex Earl
You said. Yeah. You met, you met her.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, yeah, I know. Both.
Alex Earl
Okay, what's it, what's it like behind closed doors? You think.
Dave Portnoy
I've said this? So I met her at a speaking gig. I was speaking at an event, as was Bill. It's the first time I met her. And she was in charge. She was like, if you said this is his PR or like whatever agent or whatever and not his girlfriend, it would make sense. She is in charge of what he's doing.
Gabbie Hanna
How does that happen?
Dave Portnoy
Well, and I heard that before going in.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
That like, if you want to get something done with Bill Belichick, you have to go through Jordan. And that's the truth. And now it's come out. You know, that interview, obviously that went crazy viral, which I think I sparked to go viral because CBS Sunday mornings like my show, like, I watch it every morning.
Gabbie Hanna
Right.
Dave Portnoy
And I was stunned and made a video. It. I don't know how it happened there. You could look at it. There's so many different ways. And I've said this on other shows because I've been interviewed about it. I, I will see them both in Nantucket. I will. They live there. I live there. And I don't want to be carrying a watermelon out of Super Stop and Shop and have Jordan punch my face in because I've like trashed them and have it be like, so awkward.
Gabbie Hanna
Probably drop the water.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Like, so I know I'm going to see them. I don't know. It maybe Bill is just like, I've seen people be like, well, she's using him. Well, what if he's using her? What if they like each other? Like, I don't know that Bill Belichick has Too many like 25 year olds, like attractive girls waiting to.
Gabbie Hanna
Right. So Maybe he's probably line up the door.
Dave Portnoy
Maybe he's like, that's not true.
Alex Earl
Do you know how many attractive 25 year olds would fuck him because he's so rich?
Dave Portnoy
I don't know if that's true.
Alex Earl
I know that's true.
Dave Portnoy
I don't know.
Alex Earl
I have about 25 friends that would totally do that.
Dave Portnoy
Because he's old.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And I also want to say something. I've heard a lot of people be like, well, Dave can't comment. It's like their age gap is older than my years alive. So let's like, wait, is he. Yes.
Alex Earl
Oh, my God.
Gabbie Hanna
He's like 80.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. He's mid-70s or late-70s. So it's a little different. I, I, I didn't get the vibe. Like, I got the vibe she really liked him, and, and he really liked her. It's surprising to, as someone who grew up on Belichick and a Patriot fan, just see someone who's always seemingly in control, being control. That is surprising, and it is a crazy story.
Gabbie Hanna
My take last week on it, I was like, maybe the guy's just done being in control. Maybe he's been in control for 60 years of his life and it's just, like, so fucking tired of this. Someone else just. You tell me what to do. I don't want to tell people what.
Dave Portnoy
That'd be wild. I, My mind went wild. I don't. It's like, it gives me the ick a little bit. But imagine she's just, like, dominating him.
Gabbie Hanna
Oh. Like in the bedroom.
Alex Earl
He's like a submissive little bill.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
So that, that's called. That's laughing at me.
Dave Portnoy
That's, like, really hard for me to.
Gabbie Hanna
Swallow as, like, it's probably hard for him to swallow.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Is he, like. He's my guy, so.
Alex Earl

Gabbie Hanna
Right in the middle. What's up? How you doing? Good.
Dave Portnoy
Good.
Gabbie Hanna
How are you?
Dave Portnoy
Gilly, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome.
Gabbie Hanna
Gilly Shock. Sound like Miami Dave right there.
Dave Portnoy
What did they do at the bar, man?
Gabbie Hanna
He tried to do some dumb. Huh?
Dave Portnoy
Wallow. Called me the other day. Yeah, he's like. He's got the manager on the phone real dumb. I've been dealing with now for 24 hours. It's the worst. Yeah. So crazy.
Gabbie Hanna
Thanks for popping by.
Alex Earl
I. I kind of knew that was gonna happen.
Dave Portnoy
I feel the voices. I could.
Gabbie Hanna
I could smell the weed before I saw him.
Alex Earl
Oh, when I came in last night.
Gabbie Hanna
I was like that, though.
Alex Earl
My room smells like.
Gabbie Hanna
We.
Dave Portnoy
When we did Surviving Barstool, he, like, smoked out the whole. The whole office.
Gabbie Hanna
I was actually gonna text you last night because I had nothing. I was like, do you think there's, like, a Barstool person here that has a little J.
Dave Portnoy
Should? Yeah. You should have played the game harder, please.
Alex Earl
What. When did he get out of Surviving Barstool?
Dave Portnoy
Early, but he didn't. He wasn't even trying to make alliances and shit.
Alex Earl
No, he was. He was a vibes guy.
Dave Portnoy
He was. He was baked out of his mind guy.
Alex Earl
Would you ever get. Would you ever. Would you two get high together? Would you smoke weed? If we offered you some weed right now, would you smoke?
Dave Portnoy
No, not right now. Because he's got a big day. I mean, I used to smoke a little bit, but I. I weed me up worse than any drug.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Honestly, like, I used to do ecstasy a lot. Like, going out. Fine. Didn't me up, I'd be tired. Loved it. Weed. Want to go to the hospital?
Gabbie Hanna
I think.
Dave Portnoy
Strange.
Gabbie Hanna
I'm pretty positive the first Time I went out with you. You did ecstasy?
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, if I. Yeah, yeah.
Alex Earl
In Miami, we did.
Dave Portnoy
Actually, if I'm up past 10pm in Miami, I didn't.
Gabbie Hanna
Y' all did.
Dave Portnoy
I don't think I. If I'm up past 10pm in Miami, you can almost guarantee I'm on drugs or else I'd be asleep.
Gabbie Hanna
Right.
Dave Portnoy
Like, there's no shot I'm up. But yeah, like, I mean, I've obviously done it, but I get, like, panic attacks.
Gabbie Hanna
Huh.
Alex Earl
Do you get in your head, like, everyone's talking about you?
Dave Portnoy
My heart just. My heart feels like it's going to explode.
Alex Earl
Oh, that's no fun.
Gabbie Hanna
Right, right, right. You zone in on the heartbeat a little bit.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. And then it's.
Gabbie Hanna
So maybe you just need to go to, like, some like, OG strains. Stuff nowadays is a lot stronger made than it used to be. You just need to find yourself, like, a good OG strain.
Alex Earl
Whatever. I've been hitting Josh's dad pen at one hit and then I crack up. I can only do one hit.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you do.
Dave Portnoy
No, I. I get. My skin gets dry. Like, I feel like my pores are closing.
Alex Earl
Oh.
Dave Portnoy
Like they can't breathe. It's really not fun for me.
Alex Earl
That sounds like a nightmare.
Gabbie Hanna
Sounds like your body is shut.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Not, not. Not my drug of choice.
Gabbie Hanna
Not that shriveling up. Your heart's beating out of your chest.
Dave Portnoy
I'm not really doing any drugs now. Like, I used to be. Adderall, if you can say that. Every day. But I go to bed early. The dogs get me up early, so I'm clean. Living.
Alex Earl
That's good for you.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Alex Earl
Miami living. Oh, this one's awesome. Gigi and Bradley Cooper made it official. IG Official. This is a good hot couple. They launched it. Hard launch. Do we like them?
Dave Portnoy
I thought Gigi looked too skinny last night. I saw her. I don't want to like body shame, but she looked really skinny to me in the video I saw.
Alex Earl
Well, she's like a supermodel, so. Aren't they all like super, super, super tall?
Dave Portnoy
It is a great looking couple. Hard launch. I thought they've been dating for a.
Alex Earl
While, but they never posted anything together. People would always just paparazzi them.
Dave Portnoy
Oh, God.
Alex Earl
So they never said it.
Gabbie Hanna
That's why they call it the hard.
Dave Portnoy
The hard launch.
Gabbie Hanna
They've been soft launch. Good for them quite some time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave Portnoy
You don't hear too much negative shit about Bradley Cooper.
Gabbie Hanna
No, no.
Dave Portnoy
Right.
Alex Earl
No, not. I don't think anything ever.
Gabbie Hanna
I was just out on the streets handing out Philly cheesesteaks.
Dave Portnoy
Well, that's all he does.
Alex Earl
Try this cheesesteak thing. It was kind of.
Gabbie Hanna
And then pops in a movie.
Dave Portnoy
Not that good.
Alex Earl
Did you try it?
Dave Portnoy
Well, first of all, like, that should be my cheesesteak place. But that's. That's crazy. What. What's.
Alex Earl
It was just. It wasn't as good as I thought.
Gabbie Hanna
It was going to be.
Alex Earl
And I waited an hour for it.
Dave Portnoy
I put Angelo's on the map. Like, that's a Philly cheesesteak. And I love the guy. It's the best cheesesteak in Philly. Best pizza. Like, I did a review. Double nine fours. As busy before. That is next level.
Gabbie Hanna
Double nine fours.
Alex Earl
Angelo's is good.
Dave Portnoy
It's the same thing.
Alex Earl
Danny and Coops. Yes, it did, but it wasn't good.
Dave Portnoy
Danny is Angelos.
Alex Earl
Oh. So that's when I went in Philly. I got that because everyone said, you have to go. And then the one in New York, it was, like, soggy. And it was then.
Dave Portnoy
That's disappointing. And maybe I'm glad I didn't have my name on it. But. Yeah, then Bradley Cooper. Philly guy came out. Bradley and Cooper. But it's the same. Like Angelo.
Alex Earl
It was like the buck.
Dave Portnoy
The Cooper cheddar.
Alex Earl
I didn't like the.
Dave Portnoy
That's not good. That's like when it happened with the pizza. With the pizza place in New Haven that they started expanding and the quality went down.
Alex Earl
Well, yeah. I wonder because the line was just. We waited an hour in the rain, so maybe it's just because they're making so much and pushing it out, but it wasn't.
Dave Portnoy
I have connections there. You don't have to wait an hour. Rain for that place.
Alex Earl
I did. Well, I didn't know that.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Angelo's is one of the best. And that is supposed to be Angelo's. It's like the same thing.
Alex Earl
Well, you got to try the New York one and then tell me if you think. Oh, I forgot about Diddy. He's going on trial today. Today?
Gabbie Hanna
Yep.
Alex Earl
He'll be starting trial today, May 5th. Being charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty on all of the five counts that he's been accused of. His defense team attempted to delay the trial by two months, but were denied. The trial is not being televised.
Dave Portnoy
That's crazy. It's not been.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, I would have thought for shirts.
Dave Portnoy
I wonder why that is.
Alex Earl
Yeah, I thought 100% it would be televised. Who. Who has a Say in that, like, how do you get to pick if something is public or not?
Gabbie Hanna
I mean. Yeah, I guess you would think, just.
Dave Portnoy
Because the entertainment value of it. I don't mean to be crass, but generally, if there's money to be made, which I'm sure there is, so that's surprising to me.
Gabbie Hanna
Or it's just like, you know, elites trying to not get it televised because names are maybe dropped.
Alex Earl
Yeah. Or maybe like a lot of the people that are going to go against him don't want to be, like, known.
Gabbie Hanna
True, true. That could be a thing. Like, I guess if you're going up on stand, like, you don't want your face out there going up against Diddy. Yeah, yeah, that's a fair point, actually. That seems like it really could be the reason.
Alex Earl
Your boy with Zoe Kravitz.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, they're going strong. It seems good for them.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, Zoe Kravitz is real pretty.
Alex Earl
Oh, she's a smoke show mean.
Dave Portnoy
Her dad is the hottest guy ever.
Alex Earl
Yeah, he's the hottest guy ever.
Dave Portnoy
Bisexual.
Gabbie Hanna
I believe that you were the dad.
Dave Portnoy
The dad. Is he not?
Alex Earl
I think. I think when you're that.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, he. Yeah, everything.
Alex Earl
When you're that beautiful looking, I feel like you're like, pansexual.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, Correct. I agree.
Gabbie Hanna
Okay.
Alex Earl
I mean, it's like, why wouldn't you be? Everyone wants to. You.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Alex Earl
And then you. Only the hottest people.
Dave Portnoy
Yep. I agree.
Gabbie Hanna
You know, I don't.
Dave Portnoy
I. I don't know with that at all. No, I look like.
Gabbie Hanna
No, like, I don't agree with, like, hey, love is love. Go love. But I'm saying, like, I don't think you're just, like, really attractive. And then, like, you know what? I'm so hot. I just. I'm gonna fuck it.
Dave Portnoy
No, I think that's how it works.
Alex Earl
I don't know. I think just when you're at that level of hots, like, I kind of agree. Yeah, it's like Zoolander.
Dave Portnoy
It's like. It's like that scene in Zoo, right?
Gabbie Hanna
No, I know that, that.
Dave Portnoy
That's. That's what happens to those people.
Gabbie Hanna
Do you not think maybe that's just a condition of becoming, like, a sex addict and then regular sex isn't enough for you anymore.
Dave Portnoy
Could be.
Gabbie Hanna
Had so much sex and now you're trying to chase new things to. Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Hard.
Alex Earl
Maybe.
Dave Portnoy
I don't know that's even that. I just think you end up in situations where so many beautiful people and it's like Creed from the office. Like, if a guy Slipped in during, like, you know, he's talking about Woodstock. He's like. It's hard to tell. I just think you're. I honestly think, like, the Zoolander scene, when they're all. Everybody is. What happens with Lenny Kravitz?
Alex Earl
I think so. Especially when you're, like, a rock star like, that. Everyone fair.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
She's gorgeous.
Alex Earl
I talked to Noah. Noah about this. Like, I. I didn't even know this was happening.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, we haven't, like, deep on it.
Alex Earl
I had no. I had no idea.
Dave Portnoy
Publicly rubbing feet on a park bench. Why does he look homeless?
Gabbie Hanna
He just got off. Well, he likes to grow the beard out in between roles. Like, he always does that. He'll always have that, like, burly beard kind of going.
Alex Earl
He looks like Joe from you in this picture.
Gabbie Hanna
I do see that, actually. I think that's who I thought it was before.
Alex Earl
Me too.
Gabbie Hanna
But I also just got off of a. A 24 film, I think, where he had it grown out a little bit. It's a war movie that's coming out.
Alex Earl
Yeah, we were talking about that last time.
Dave Portnoy
I have a question. This is going back. I should ask it. But when I saw it did. Have you. Have you guys cleared up Braxton bailing on you guys like, you. He's, like, your best friend.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, we.
Alex Earl
We've cleared this up, like, so many times.
Dave Portnoy
What did. What. What did he.
Gabbie Hanna
It was his PR team that didn't tell him about it.
Dave Portnoy
Okay. I.
Alex Earl
He was heartbroken about it, I promise you.
Gabbie Hanna
The way he. It didn't even make sense.
Dave Portnoy
Didn't I see me going in on him?
Gabbie Hanna
Oh, definitely.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
But I think he was like. He was like. Like, dave can reach out to me. I'm good to clear. Not in, like, a threatening way. He was more just like, I'm good to clear. Like, I want to be Alex Earl.
Dave Portnoy
For Braxton's number, but I think I had the wrong number.
Gabbie Hanna
Well, I know he, like, definitely did not mean it. It was a. I think it was a PR team thing, or. I. That's what I believe in what I've been told. The way he texted me, being like, hey, are you going to Super Bowl? It was that Super Bowl.
Alex Earl
Yeah, Super Bowl. He.
Gabbie Hanna
He texted me and was like, hey, are you going to Super Bowl? The day we were asking, who asked, are you going to Super Bowl?
Dave Portnoy
Follow up then. Is he still not allowed, like, his PR team was like, he's not allowed to go on barstool.
Alex Earl
Yeah. Nothing. Barstool is what we were told.
Dave Portnoy
Yes.
Alex Earl
Yeah. But then He.
Dave Portnoy
That's great.
Alex Earl
He was just like. I didn't know. It was like a miscommunication, but maybe he didn't want to say, I don't do anything.
Dave Portnoy
But. But that's what I.
Alex Earl
That's what we did.
Dave Portnoy
I'll get his number. I'm gonna be okay. What do you mean? Your PR team, You. They work for you?
Gabbie Hanna
No, I don't think he, like, listened to the team. I don't think the team told him about it.
Dave Portnoy
Okay, well, I. I don't like, not. This is why it's actually refreshing not being on bff because it creates enemies for me that I don't need to have. So I'd like to.
Gabbie Hanna
You shouldn't have it. Like, he shouldn't be on your enemy list. Okay, I'm maybe his PR team, but.
Dave Portnoy
No, I don't buy that.
Gabbie Hanna
I do buy that. You're telling me a PR team wouldn't maybe block something because they are communicating with your agents and.
Dave Portnoy
No, that's fine. That's fine. But if you hear from it, then you'll be like, fuck that, I'm going on.
Gabbie Hanna
No, but I don't think they even communicated it right.
Alex Earl
He didn't even know.
Dave Portnoy
But now he can come on. I keep waiting, of course. Every week I tune in, be like, braxton will be a guest. And then I see him at the derby with you guys, and it's like, when is he going to be?
Alex Earl
Well, now. Maybe he has to come on BFFs now.
Gabbie Hanna
Next week he'll be on BFFs. That's funny. Alright, guys, Game Time. They don't make it easy to buy concert tickets these days. You got to sign up for the presale, 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, not waiting in a 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 the showtime. I was looking at tickets for the Katy Perry concert, so I could see her flying all over that arena. And I saw an amazing deal for great seats at only $40. So what are you waiting for? I'm going to go buy those Katy Perry tickets now. Take the guesswork out of buying tickets with GameTime. 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 code BFF for 20 off Download the Gametime app today. What time is it? Game time.
Alex Earl
Caitlin Clark roasted her. Her new teammate.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, it was a very funny line. Little the two blondes. Little less tan, a little more B ball ladies.
Gabbie Hanna
Because they went at her first right about like not being.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, yeah. I'm. I'm. There's a chance I end up doing a WNBA podcast with Sophie Cunningham.
Alex Earl
No, she was at Barstool.
Dave Portnoy
Yes, she was with Wes. Yes. Yes. We're gonna do with them. That kind of fell through.
Alex Earl
I was talking to him about it the other day. They like they wouldn't give him enough.
Dave Portnoy
There was percentage of it. Like just not between us, but between them too. Yeah. And I would do it because I'm gonna watch every WNBA game. I'm still obsessed with Caitlin. I'm going her home opener.
Gabbie Hanna
Sweet.
Dave Portnoy
She's ready.
Gabbie Hanna
You see that picture?
Dave Portnoy
She's got a like this league on fire.
Alex Earl
Oh my God. She's a beast.
Gabbie Hanna
I wonder what she's benching like.
Alex Earl
Dude.
Dave Portnoy
Infinity pounds. So much so I'm very excited.
Gabbie Hanna
I think she's putting up two plates on the bench.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Alex Earl
You think she can bench more than you?
Dave Portnoy
What?
Gabbie Hanna
Probably do everything sadly enough. Probably.
Alex Earl
Probably.
Gabbie Hanna
She's also a professional athlete, so it's not that sad.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
I've just been not in the gym. I need to get back. Give me one and I'll out bencher.
Alex Earl
Should we do our pop culture hot takes from. From the audience, see if Dave agrees with any of them?
Gabbie Hanna
Sure.
Alex Earl
Okay. Dave, we read these people, send them in and then you tell us if you agree with them or. Or what. First one. BFFs is better. Without Dave.
Dave Portnoy
No shot.
Alex Earl
All right, what do we got next?
Gabbie Hanna
Jay, I think someone needs to rescue Belichick.
Dave Portnoy
Nope. I'm gonna see him in the don't.
Gabbie Hanna
Want any watermelon smashed or faces.
Alex Earl
Taylor Swift shouldn't be nominated or winning awards for albums she's recording. You agree with that?
Gabbie Hanna
I agree with that because it's a re recorded thing. It's. Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. I don't think you should win like twice for an award. Like same album.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
Sabrina Carpenter can't sing.
Dave Portnoy
I disagree with that. I think she can sing.
Alex Earl
Influencers shouldn't be taking over the Kentucky Derby.
Dave Portnoy
Big agree.
Gabbie Hanna
Is this just because you're jealous?
Dave Portnoy
No, I it like cuz we got.
Gabbie Hanna
Better seats than you.
Dave Portnoy
This year I would have gotten. But last year they had Alex Earl do riders up. This year they had Livy Dunn.
Alex Earl
Right.
Dave Portnoy
Ly Dunn. They don't like know what the other I. I've practiced my riders up. Riders up. Like, I practice it.
Alex Earl
Honestly, give it to someone that's practicing, you know, practice.
Dave Portnoy
Like, I. I love horse racing.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Love it. Like, love, love, love. And I am a pretty big audience in that, so.
Gabbie Hanna
Is it typically a girl that does riders two.
Dave Portnoy
I can't. They got great ratings. I would rather Griffin did it, to be honest. Like, Griffin loves horses.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a true love.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. I don't think Alex and. And Livy. No. No disrespect. Them are thinking nanosecond about horses.
Alex Earl
Yeah, that's fair.
Dave Portnoy
But it's an entertainment show.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, every event has influencers out of it.
Dave Portnoy
They've definitely picked it up. I don't remember it being like that. Like, I've probably gone to the Derby 10 years in a row, but for this year, the last couple. Yes. I don't remember, like, it.
Alex Earl
Before that, I only saw influencer stuff from the Derby this year.
Gabbie Hanna
There were that many.
Alex Earl
I saw, like, all the carpets, all the parties. It was all influencers.
Gabbie Hanna
Five influencers, six influencers there.
Dave Portnoy
Well, you, Alex Griffin, Gabby, Tiana, y.
Alex Earl
Adrien, Alex and Isaac. Alex Allison. Sorry, I meant to say I was talking about Alex Earl, though.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. So it's not. It's under 10, but that they're getting.
Alex Earl
All the coverage there.
Dave Portnoy
Totally.
Alex Earl
Like, that's all that you see coming out of the Derby. You don't really see anybody else.
Gabbie Hanna
Well, there weren't maybe. Were there not a lot of celebrities there this year?
Alex Earl
You wouldn't know. It was all about the influencer.
Gabbie Hanna
I saw Mellow there and that was it.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, he was there at Guy Fieri's there. I don't know if Aaron Rodgers.
Gabbie Hanna
Aaron Rodgers was there. Devonte Adams was there.
Dave Portnoy
They go every year. You were sitting on that side of the glass.
Gabbie Hanna
I was like. He was like, two tables down.
Dave Portnoy
That. That. That, to me, is such an unbelievable slap in the face to me. I can't even describe how big of a slap in the face that is. Not because you. But those are specifically the year before. It's like, I need to sit there or else I can't go. And they're like, we don't have the authority to put you there. Do you go to the Brown Ball, Brownston?
Gabbie Hanna
No.
Dave Portnoy
Kentucky Derby's liars. That's fine. They're liars.
Gabbie Hanna
What's the ball?
Dave Portnoy
I was told those tickets are controlled by the Barnstable Brown Ball, which is like a party the night before where, like, Aaron Rogers Does Go and Celebrities go.
Gabbie Hanna
We went to.
Alex Earl
They give you the tickets to Celebrities.
Gabbie Hanna
We went to a Sports Illustrated party before.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. No, not that one.
Gabbie Hanna
Okay.
Dave Portnoy
Who knows? Whatever it is, what it is.
Alex Earl
All right, next. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are already married.
Dave Portnoy
I don't believe that.
Alex Earl
I kind of believe that one.
Gabbie Hanna
Charlie XCX is not talented.
Dave Portnoy
I need to be more familiar with her catalog.
Alex Earl
Boo. That is just, that is not true. She does a one person show.
Gabbie Hanna
You can't have that many bangers and not be talented.
Alex Earl
Yeah. Jordan Hudson is actually a boss and is a victim of sexism and jealousy.
Dave Portnoy
I, I what? If you agree with part of this, I can see her being a boss, but I don't think she's a victim of sexism, jealousy. Like if you reverse this and it was a 25 year old guy dominating a 75 year old woman, it would.
Gabbie Hanna
Be a Nicole Kidman movie.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I think they'd be equal. Correct. Yeah. So I don't, I don't think it's.
Gabbie Hanna
That Taylor Swift picks the worst friends.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. Yes.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Like I should be her best friend.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
You ride or die and then you're never gonna have to worry about. I'm not gonna do skims. I'm not gonna embarrass you. I'm gonna die on the sword for you.
Gabbie Hanna
Right? No, I believe that.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, I would.
Alex Earl
Yeah. Brian of Tarth for Taylor. Blake Lively should divorce Ryan Reynolds.
Dave Portnoy
I don't get it. Isn't Blake the one who's the problem?
Alex Earl
People are coming out being like, actually we think Ryan's the problem.
Dave Portnoy
Then maybe they shouldn't divorce. Maybe they're perfect for each other.
Alex Earl
Yeah, maybe they are Perfect. Last one.
Gabbie Hanna
JoJo Siwa did not do anything wrong on Celebrity Big Brother.
Dave Portnoy
I don't, I have no idea.
Alex Earl
You have no idea. You know how she was.
Gabbie Hanna
Skip that want. Like I feel it's a big rundown. Yeah, essentially. Ah. She was, she was gay at one point.
Dave Portnoy
Okay, good for her.
Gabbie Hanna
And then now point.
Alex Earl
Well, she came out like me.
Gabbie Hanna
That's where we're about to transition.
Alex Earl
Fully lesbian, though.
Dave Portnoy
Did Austin tell you? After we were at the body armor event we went to Body armor event. Very nice event.
Alex Earl
Well, it's a great event.
Gabbie Hanna
Is this the one that I look.
Dave Portnoy
So good in the pictures by the way, that white jacket? I look awesome. I'm like cutting you out brie and just taking the pictures.
Gabbie Hanna
Wait, jacketing again tonight or.
Dave Portnoy
No, no, I have a different day. I forgot. I bought a beautiful horseshoe. Diamond. Gold, not gold horseshoe. Good luck. Diamond pendant. And I forgot it at home because the bar thing happened, and I was late to the airport, so I was dealing with it. When you walked. When you walked out of the event at Body Armor, I asked Austin two things. Is. Yeah. Does that. Does the girl you're with work for us, or is that your girlfriend?
Alex Earl
My little cousin.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
Yikes. Hopefully neither.
Dave Portnoy
I thought. I thought you became lesbian.
Alex Earl
No, I'm just. I'm like, the last few months, like.
Gabbie Hanna
That'S just been the vibe forever.
Dave Portnoy
I thought you made an announcement, and I was seeing it on, like, social media that.
Alex Earl
Well, no, everyone clipped it, like, hey.
Dave Portnoy
I've given up on guys. I've turned lesbian.
Gabbie Hanna
I did see that clip.
Dave Portnoy
Shocked me.
Alex Earl
It's not a shocker.
Dave Portnoy
No, no.
Alex Earl
That was my. That's my cousin, not my girlfriend.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, he cleared it up.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And I thought Devin looked different, too, because she had her hair up. So I was like, that's Devin, right?
Alex Earl
That was Devin.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah. And then I didn't know. I'm like, does she work for us? Dating her? I don't know what's going on.
Alex Earl
That's funny.
Gabbie Hanna
You're kind of not like you would date a girl, though.
Dave Portnoy
Yeah, of course.
Alex Earl
You don't think I would?
Gabbie Hanna
No, I don't think.
Alex Earl
I think I'm. My next relationship will probably be with a girl, and it's on BFF's corner right now. I also just fallen in love with gay guys.
Dave Portnoy
What does that mean?
Alex Earl
Yeah, Every guy that I start to like turns out to be gay.
Dave Portnoy
That's not that surprising, because aren't gay guys, like, nicer and dress better and all that?
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alex Earl
But it's just such a bummer because.
Dave Portnoy
They'Re like, how do you not know that? Right.
Gabbie Hanna
Within a second, I feel like I.
Alex Earl
Thought I had a good gaydar.
Gabbie Hanna
Clearly not.
Dave Portnoy
How do you find out? They tell you you, like, going to kiss them and they're like, yo, yo.
Alex Earl
They'll just be like, start talking about boys. They like.
Dave Portnoy
I'm like, oh, I have long minutes, hours, days.
Alex Earl
Like, maybe, like, a couple weeks.
Dave Portnoy
That's crazy.
Gabbie Hanna
That's way too long.
Dave Portnoy
That's insane.
Gabbie Hanna
That is way too.
Alex Earl
And it's like, boys that, like, oh.
Dave Portnoy
It'S just like, are you 100% sure that they're not.
Gabbie Hanna
They're, like, just lying.
Alex Earl
They're not.
Gabbie Hanna
They're just like, oh, by the way, I, like, guys will come up and be like.
Alex Earl
Like, they'll be like, I hooked up with them. And I'm like, what?
Dave Portnoy
I have no Idea nuts.
Alex Earl
Because it would just be the last.
Dave Portnoy
What do you mean? Guys, Guys. Just a random guy will come up, be like, yo, I hooked up with that guy.
Alex Earl
New York is so incestual. Like, everyone's friend group crosses and hooks up. Incestual. Yeah.
Gabbie Hanna
Nice.
Alex Earl
Everyone, like, hooks up with each other. It's. It's. Yeah, but it stinks. Everyone's either gay or awful in New York.
Dave Portnoy
How's. How's the. Brianna, like, when. I kind of feel like we. When I stopped. You're getting a lot of hate. Has that come down?
Alex Earl
Yeah. Everyone thinks Josh hates me, though.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Well, I saw that clip and I asked her if that was real. I couldn't.
Gabbie Hanna
Of course. I don't hate Bri.
Dave Portnoy
It looked real that I couldn't.
Alex Earl
Yeah. Dave was like, is this like the Coachella clip or the last part?
Dave Portnoy
It was Brie being like, do you hate me? Or something. You're being an asshole.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. No, no, we were just kidding.
Alex Earl
Yeah, we were just kidding.
Dave Portnoy
Good. Glad to hear that, Josh.
Alex Earl
Kentucky Derby. We talked about that.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. I feel like we already went through all that outfit.
Dave Portnoy
Josh right on the fringe.
Gabbie Hanna
I mean, it was. I had two outfits every day.
Dave Portnoy
No.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. I accidentally wore the other one first because Gabby wore the other one, so I had to match.
Alex Earl
She was getting canceled for her boobs.
Gabbie Hanna
She was getting canceled.
Dave Portnoy
I saw that.
Alex Earl
So stupid.
Dave Portnoy
A random. I didn't get that.
Gabbie Hanna
No, me neither. Was she gonna take him off and leave him at home?
Dave Portnoy
That made no sense to me. If anyone should have been canceled, it should have been you.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. Being underdressed, now, I'm not gonna blame that on me because I. I had to take what my stylist gave me.
Dave Portnoy
The shoes aren't bad. It's almost.
Alex Earl
I like that outfit, but it's not fancy enough.
Dave Portnoy
No, I felt like that's right on the edge.
Gabbie Hanna
I felt like that, too. I was in there and I was like, this is good. Like, when I put it on, it's giving. Like, I was like, me. Like, the one I wore yesterday would have been fine.
Dave Portnoy
That's a good Friday outfit.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The one I wore on Friday would have been the right one, but.
Dave Portnoy
And Gabby's pretty dressed up.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, no, she.
Alex Earl

Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, I really like that one. Yeah, it just, like, gave, like, a very, like, elevated.
Alex Earl
Her shoes.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah. The polka dotted heels. I like them.
Alex Earl
Yeah. But getting canceled for her boobs was crazy.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
That's nuts.
Alex Earl
Alex Earl had the same neckline. She just doesn't have the same size boobs.
Dave Portnoy
Alex all has huge boobs.
Alex Earl
Not like Gabby's, though.
Dave Portnoy
All right. Okay. I'm not gonna go that deep, but I know.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, yeah, no, that's okay.
Alex Earl
But like, you know what I mean? Like, even all the comments were like, Alex is wearing the same thing, but no one's saying it.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah, no, there were people that like, at the, like. Because it did go pretty viral and obviously it's like Kentucky Derby care.
Dave Portnoy
Did Gabby care?
Gabbie Hanna
She. She really takes hate pretty hard. Like, I think it's just she. She definitely was like worried at the start. She just gets upset and she's like, did I fudge up? Am I, like, doing the work? And I was like, gabby, relax. I said to her, I was like, give it one day and I bet you this will flip flop.
Dave Portnoy
Like, I bet you it will like. And when I was with Silvana, they're not the most blended people generally at like a Kentucky Derby event.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Which is pretty, like white.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
Like, nor like, she doesn't have that look.
Alex Earl
Not so many baddies at the Kentucky.
Dave Portnoy
Right.
Gabbie Hanna
But like, it was just, I think what happened.
Dave Portnoy
I don't like black. At the Derby, Alex Earl was all in that.
Alex Earl
I didn't know what.
Dave Portnoy
Holy.
Gabbie Hanna
Dude, I thought you said something else.
Dave Portnoy
I said, I don't like black. I didn't mean people I met the color black.
Alex Earl
It was just bad times.
Dave Portnoy
Funeral for me. It's funeral esque.
Alex Earl
I like, I like spring.
Gabbie Hanna
So. Yes. The black and white that Gabby had on the second day, you're like, no.
Dave Portnoy
I, I more saw Alex Earl one day, all black.
Alex Earl

Dave Portnoy
Lucky one and portion goes to helping lucky dog. Hopefully we can donate at least a million bucks by the end of the summer. So. Really, really great.
Gabbie Hanna
I see a green tea flavor or something like that.
Dave Portnoy
That's a nice tea.
Alex Earl
Which.
Dave Portnoy
That's my favorite one.
Gabbie Hanna
Okay, I gotta try that.
Alex Earl
There's a new lake back with high noon and it's the tea. The non carbonated ones. And there's two new flavors, half and half. So lemonade and tea and then green tea.

Yeah, so.
Gabbie Hanna
Oh, we.
Dave Portnoy
We're. Which is a huge golf influenza group. I didn't want you to be just be barstool because I wanted people not to be like, why would I just play in your event? So we created a new company with them and we're not even gonna make money. It's all gonna go to the prize pool. But it should be pretty. Pretty fucking awesome. Like the top golf influencer.
Gabbie Hanna
Is it gonna be a pick your own scramble situation?
Dave Portnoy
It's a combo. Teams are gonna. We'll have captains. They'll be like captain's dinner the first night.
Gabbie Hanna
Yeah.
Dave Portnoy
And then it's gonna. The teams will keep rotating. So It'll be like two teams of 16 or 32 and then new captains, new teams, new formats.
Gabbie Hanna
Wow. So that's pretty different than anything. That's very done. Yeah. Because I'm doing the. What is the other one?
Dave Portnoy
