Ending the Podcast: Sentiments and Future Possibilities [31:01 – 44:18]

As the episode moves towards its conclusion, the atmosphere shifts towards finality. The hosts engage in a reflective and somewhat humorous discussion about ending the podcast. Dave expresses a desire to distance himself from the ongoing drama:

"I honestly feel like I'm gonna miss nothing. Like, it's been a miserable couple weeks." (39:16)

"We'll have you on as a guest." (43:40) "You have to come back every once in a while." (43:44)

But we're not exactly going out like with Christmas tidings and like with hugs, you know. Happy Holidays everybody. We're all like, everyone's feeling so great, right? We've kind of just been in like turmoil I guess for the last two weeks and I just posted a video. It's like I did a walk and talk and I tried to summarize the, the Brie barstool Grace situation as fairly as I thought I could. I asked Brie, I'm like, what'd you think? She was. She's like, it was all right. It's like there's no, there's no win on this story. I don't even know what, like, whether we should really.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

There's no win on talking about it. Yeah. It's like, it's just awesome without Grace here. Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No point.

[Dave Portnoy]

And she, and she doesn't want to. I, I, last week, like, I get. And I felt it. It's like we had the 30 minutes. No grace and I could see how from an outside perspective, like that's she's not there. I think we all talked about it.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

At the same time. I, I, we had to talk about. It's all anyone wanted to talk about. So what are we supposed to do? Pretend doesn't exist. And I, you know, emotions are high, brutal.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Like last week before the episode, I texted I didn't want to talk about it. But then it's like everyone is fucking screaming at me to talk about it. So I talk about it and then it's like, obviously it's my side because I'm talking about it and I'm, I was clearly so upset and there was so much going. Like, it's just like real life stuff and it's brought online, which is because everyone wants us to talk about it.

[Josh Richards]

I think it probably like, to Dave's point, it just because you were the only one there that was able to talk about it, it came across like, you know, Grace wasn't able to talk about it, but we just hadn't. We asked Grace to come on. What did she say, Dave?

[Dave Portnoy]

She didn't want to like her. I mean, when I talked to Grace about this, it has really been like, I, I don't like talking about serious stuff. Like, I want to just kind of do my comedy and I don't want to be in the middle of it, which I do believe to a degree. But then that's where I go back and as you we just recycle. It's like, yeah, but in my head we're here because you talk like you threw. It was all the planned briefing ending that caused this mess. And I don't want to point finger this, but it's like, and we have to like where I guess Grace, you don't have a podcast. We're going to sit down. Like, we probably want to talk about if BFFs doesn't exist. Like, but it does, and we had to. And I wish she came on. And it wasn't, you know, it wasn't to, like, ambush. It's like, you have final cut. Bree doesn't have to be part of it. It's like, I. I don't know. I said, like, I don't know. Josh. If you've talked to her, it's like, I don't want your relationship with rushes. Like, I feel like you and I still get along enough where you. We're not trying to ambush, but, like, get this. I just want behind. A lot of people have compared it to, like, Call her daddy to me, and it's nothing like, Call her daddy. It's nothing like Call her daddy. Call her daddy was two girls who barely knew each other who met was like, a cash cow, and it was really just, like, ruthless negotiations. Like, how do they get out of working with us so they can make all the money and screw us over?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

And it was like, their stuff was about money, ours, about our relationship.

[Dave Portnoy]

Totally. And that's why. Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Has nothing to do with podcasts. It was a friendship breakup.

[Dave Portnoy]

Totally. It's nothing to do with money on our side. It's like a big money maker. No. And it's like, in the scheme of parcel. But it's like, I've known you now. How long have we done this? Four years?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Three years, I think, like, so, like.

[Unknown]

We'Re legitimate change you.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

So we're legitimately friends. So I don't get the. Now, having said that, I wouldn't say the things I'm saying about Bri when I defend if I didn't believe them. And I think I've been pretty straightforward, like, all along. I understand. I think even the last podcast, like, I may act more like Grace, knowing my personality. So I don't know. It just sucks.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. No, it's too bad. I think, like, it would have. It would have been perceived a lot better if we were able to hear both sides, I think, at. In the one podcast. Because then it doesn't seem or. Or no one can take it as, like, oh, we're silencing Grace in a way. Or, you know, like, we're not letting Grace, like, give her part out. I think it was like Bria had said, so many people are coming down Bree's throat. Pause and asking for, you know, like, the explanation, and then what are we supposed to do? Sit on the podcast and not talk? Then people get angry as well. So it's tough. But I texted Grace after the podcast or after The. The news of her parting with Barstool and was like, hey, congrats on like the new journey on the new step and proud of you and every. And me and Grace are good, I think. Yeah. I just. I just wish it could have all happened. I. I just keep going back to. I just wish it could have happened behind closed doors because a million millions of people aren't supposed to see two lifelong friends talk about their relationships and talk about how they both feel. You know, they've been mistreated in a way because everyone's going to be able to point out like these different. It's all situational. It's all down to one relationship.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Especially when only one side is talking. Of course that side's going to get attacked. There's nothing like there's no two. It's just, just me talking about it. And I felt like we had to talk about it because everyone was like, Bri, you have to talk about. Are you gonna.

[Dave Portnoy]

I. I thought that way. Like I. I don't know how we could have sat here unless you're not gonna do it. I wasn't even gonna go in the pod if we weren't going to talk about it now. It went long obviously, but you're upset and I'm sure Grace is upset and like I, you know, nothing. As much as, like, as much as I just try to relay both sides. So it just sucks. It's have had a very long relationship that has turned ugly obviously. So it, it sucks for everybody long. And then the Internet goes crazy. It makes it worse. And I try to tune it out, to be honest, like BFFs and like this side. Like I have so many different. Sometimes you talk to people like I'll talk to Dan or Big Cat. Big Cat, same person. Or Daniella, my assistant. And they don't even know what's going on.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It's. It's really is like it's such a rabbit hole in a certain part of like TikTok because so many people have no idea what's going on.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like right.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

My boys like a lab still sold out. Like it's like there's so. It's just this like rhetoric of the same people spiraling on the Internet and.

[Dave Portnoy]

Then you get caught in that.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

In the algorithm.

[Dave Portnoy]

Algorithm. And you all see. And I go online and I see my ex wife's picture. I wanted. I was so mad about that. Some fucking apps.

[Josh Richards]

I saw this this morning. The comparison of Bri to your ex.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Wife has a private woman. I've never.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, she hasn't been in the public eye for over a decade. And you put her. I. This piece of. Do we have this girls. I had. I have a dirt guy. When I'm in it, it's like, hey, go get me dirt. I'm like, go get me dirt on this piece of. Who is bringing back Renee, who has absolutely, like, the craziest theory I've ever seen.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That. That same woman. She was. She was, like, my biggest hater. And then when I came forward with all the Zach stuff and she started, like, supporting me, and I commented on her tick tock, like, don't support women when it's convenient for you. Like, I still hate you. And none of my comments would go through because she filters them all, but I was like, is it the blonde girl?

[Dave Portnoy]

This girl was blonde. Who started this? There's another one I know who hates you, but there's a blonde girl who started it with me, and then I dug it up, and she had 30 negative tweets about or. Or things about me with, like, the Silvano relationship. So she hates my guts. I don't care. Me and Silvano were in the public eye to bring back Renee. What? That's. You should be like. Everyone's like, oh, it's gossip. It's gossip. Someone shoot that person metaphorically in the brain. That person. But, yeah, you get caught in the algorithm, and then it blows up.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That's the one I'm talking about, that lady.

[Unknown]

And, like, don't write this one, Dave.

[Dave Portnoy]

No. She's gone back and forth on Bri. I've known that.

[Unknown]

This.

[Dave Portnoy]

This, this piece of.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, I don't know this one.

[Dave Portnoy]

Ah, she's the one who started it. At least I saw it first. Yeah, an absolute clown show. Piece of.

[Unknown]

This one, right?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Miss the other one.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, yeah, you piece of. You're a piece of.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

How do they even find her now? I guess probably easy, but now hold.

[Josh Richards]

On for a second though. Brie does kind of look like her a little.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, those pictures. They do.

[Josh Richards]

They do look a little.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

They picked pictures where we would look alike, I would assume.

[Dave Portnoy]

But what's that have to do with anything?

[Josh Richards]

Oh, I'm just pointing out that maybe look alike. They do kind of look.

[Dave Portnoy]

I dated was Colombian Celtics girls, blonde. Like, what are we talking about here?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, you. You don't discriminate, you don't describe.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm just saying to bring in somebody who's totally in the private sector and I don't want those pictures of her online, like, has absolutely nothing to do with anything. And post it. Imagine if she's sitting there like, what the fuck is going on?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She just like scrolling. She's like, what? That's me. What the fuck?

[Dave Portnoy]

And I would be closer to putting Brian O'Malley together in a. A rocket ship and sending them to outer space than I would to having a crush on Bradley. I am just like, how am I in the middle of this? I don't know how that. And by the way, I was like a month from not even having to comment on it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Because this couldn't just happen in like start in January, let you guys deal it.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, just to start off the show. That would have been awesome. I mean, it's kind of still starting off the show anyway, so.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, it's.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It's. Hey, views.

[Josh Richards]

Hey, that's BFFs. That's BFS.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. This is one of those things. And I get it. It's like we're gossip. Josh, you. And I said it's like hard to nav. It's like you can't not talk about it.

[Josh Richards]

And well, when you called me, when you called me Dave, I. I had said like, this is worse. This is worse to navigate than The Brain Zach situation.

[Dave Portnoy]

100.

[Josh Richards]

The Brain Zach situation is easy. It's easy.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yes.

[Josh Richards]

It's like, oh, that guy we got, you know, ride for Brie. And then this situation is re.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Is. It's just weird. It shouldn't be online. The end of the story.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, I agree. That's. That's a fact. So the long and short of it is I. What you said to me, it's like two people. I know you better than Omali, but I've always liked OMalley. OMalley's parents are Dave Portnoy super fans. It's like, yeah. Really?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I would have assumed not.

[Dave Portnoy]

I think they may still like me because I tell the truth. But regardless of whatever it may be, it. It shouldn't. It. This isn't like a. It is a content. I can see how people are interested in the drama, but it's. It's sad. It should be offline. So. I don't know.

[Josh Richards]

You're not supposed to lose, like, a best friend this late in life. I don't think. It's not what's supposed to happen.

[Dave Portnoy]

And I was always convinced, like, you guys will get back to it's just time.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

So I do think in a couple years. I hope it's fine, but this is just all blown out of proportion. But also with Grace quitting and people saying, like, you forced her out or, like, all that stuff, like, me and Grace before all this always talked about her, like, leaving and just doing comedy. So, like, I think, if anything, it just sped it up for her and it was able to get her to do what she wanted to do.

[Dave Portnoy]

I thought she was gonna leave three weeks. Like, when she called me three weeks ago and said she was staying to renew, I thought she was gonna leave. Then this before it blew up.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

This is, like, what she want. Has been wanting comedy.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's all she wants to do, comedy. She is blowing up. Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

And that's why I didn't think bringing the podcast back in some capacity mattered, because she's always only ever wanted to do comedy. So that's why it kind of just all spiraled.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yep. All right. Tana Mojo made tiktoks about situations. She. She may be siding with Grace. Who's not siding with Grace.

[Josh Richards]

She loves to dip her fingers in any chance she gets. Eh.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, yeah. Anyone that talks about me negatively will get a bajillion views. So it's kind of also what you got to remember, why the hate train keeps going.

[Josh Richards]

I thought you and Tana were, like, friends though.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

We are.

[Josh Richards]

So how do you feel about that when you see a post like that?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Like, it's Tana. I don't know. What do you expect?

[Dave Portnoy]

I'd hold that against somebody for life?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. I'm not going to be.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Obviously.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Not a friend.

[Dave Portnoy]

Move, Breeze boy. Boys lie. Collab. I'm not going to lie. I was wondering what they like. Their timing probably. Although you said it sold out.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, did.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's great.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Just had to like that we had to turn the comments off because I'm like, I know like all my actual followers and supporters and people with like, I don't know any. I'm gonna try, actually. I don't know if I lean into being a fucking dick or if I just shut up, but I knew it was gonna be fine and it was fine. We just have to turn off the comments because the Reddit people just attack and.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Did they know? Were they like, yeah, we get it. Or were they like kind of one of the people. It's like, what are you even talking about?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No, they didn't know what was going on. We had to fill them in.

[Dave Portnoy]

Got it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

FT Ball fans believe Barstool doesn't have an HR department. We do.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I don't think we have a PR department, though.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Never do pr.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Me either. Everyone's like, public. I'm like, why am I going to craft a fake? It's. I hate that. I hate that. And that's what every other influencer on the whole entire Internet does. They have pr. They tell them what to say, they tell them how to act, they tell them who to be. We have. I mean, I've never done that. Barstool has never done that either.

[Dave Portnoy]

And I'm probably not the best. Like, hey, maybe we should go on a half an hour rant because it won't look good. It's like, I, I, I'm a firm believer and say what you got to say and like, you can't get in trouble doing that.

[Josh Richards]

But I feel like Barstool is, you could say, built off of Rants.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

You need the rant.

[Dave Portnoy]

So that's us not talking about it. I guess we kind of talked about. Yeah, I. We already know. There's nothing. We know this. There's very little. Like, the people don't like what we're saying or whatever. This isn't a Turn them or anything.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No, there's nothing, Nothing I could say or we could say to change anything. That's life, man.

[Dave Portnoy]

It will go away. The Internet always moves quick. And I mean, you guys hopefully just continue to be. Be successful, so. And I didn't get it, to be honest. Like, Bri, you, you started the. Before Grace told me she wanted to leave, you were hinting, like, I, I may have to leave Barstool. I didn't get it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I'm like, why I felt pushed out of Barstool. Yeah. I texted Dave. What? I don't know. Last week, I was like, I. I have to leave. I think I have to leave Barstool. I can't do this anymore.

[Dave Portnoy]

And I'm just sitting there like, both you and Grace. It's like, I don't. All right. You got to do what you do. I don't know what to. It's like we're just caught in the middle. Like, I, I don't. There's no right answer for us. So. All right. So that's that. We'll see. It just sucks. What a sad way for me to go out.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Not you.

[Dave Portnoy]

You guys.

[Josh Richards]

See, I think that's the only girl I could ever even make a, you know, little joke or say something like that about where I'd be like, maybe jealous because Gabby loves Selena Gomez so much that she'd be like, understood.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She got to it.

[Dave Portnoy]

We. The BFF account. I get. I don't even know what comment, but it was a negative Grace comment. And bff the account liked the post.

[Josh Richards]

You idiots.

[Dave Portnoy]

[Josh Richards]

Oh, that's bad.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Wait, I just noticed you have the OG BFFs hoodie on the last episode. I should have wore that. Wow.

[Josh Richards]

Just muddying up the BFF's name to end it up.

[Josh Richards]

Let me, like, Let me, like a bunch of shitty comments.

[Dave Portnoy]

Just. What the.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Pin it on Josh and Bri.

[Dave Portnoy]

I. I will say, I have no comeback for the people who are like, Dave keeps saying, stop talking about gossip while running a gossip podcast. I have no comeback for that. I just pretend I Don't hear it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

But we don't like, do the. Like, we just do headlines like Selena's married. It's like, I don't know.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't know. If two, if two people had a very public.

[Unknown]

Oh, we would.

[Dave Portnoy]

We would be in it.

[Josh Richards]

We would be in every. Yeah. I was gonna say we would be so in deep there, we couldn't get.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, that's why we talked about it for the people.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. The problem is we know to like, we, we know. Right. So it's like you're just speculating, but that's what these people are doing. They're just speculating.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

And yeah, I'm almost like, do we need to. Should I just lay it all out there? And then I'm like, no, don't do.

[Dave Portnoy]

That Sophia Rich Richie dance. I I this to me. I, I did my Sophia Richie dance. Couple Millie on Tick Tock. No big deal. I saw this and I'm like, this is the easiest cheat code. Like, it's a nothing dance. He did. She did it with like platypus guy and like all she did was like.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Octopus, Octopus.

[Dave Portnoy]

And all she did was like, oh, boy. And people like bananas.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I think she just like, effortlessly has swag and people couldn't believe it. You. Are you saying you have effortlessly have swag?

[Dave Portnoy]

I. That didn't prove dick to me. Yeah, I effortlessly had swag in that video if she did.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Okay.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. You had a lot less effort, though. Maybe a little. But maybe a little more sweat. A little less swag came with that is what I'm saying. Dave.

[Dave Portnoy]

I like Sophia Richie, but I don't know why people went nuts. Drones in Jersey. Who the knows what's going on with this?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah. You guys have getting chased to the bus with by a drone. It's got to be scary getting chased by a drone.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Wait, they're getting chased by drones?

[Josh Richards]

Maybe not like really really with malice. Maybe more of like a game of tag.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, that's kind of fun.

[Dave Portnoy]

I, I'm trying to ignore it. I mean, I've seen the super scary theory, which is like nuclear weapons are like loose on the east coast and the drones are like searching their high tech, like CIA searching for them. I hope that's not true.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, that would suck because I would blow up.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

It is crazy.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Damn.

[Dave Portnoy]

Caitlin Clark got invited to watch a chiefs game with Taylor Swift. Power couple. I am jealous.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Who wouldn't be jealous of that?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Okay. How could you not be this?

[Dave Portnoy]

I saw Travis Hunter, who won the Heisman, his fiance Stirs up controversy after Heisman win. She didn't stand up. Dion, friend of the program, big fan of his. Like, basically had to tell his girlfriend to stand up. Now, I think they've tried to defend this.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, maybe she. I don't. Maybe she just didn't know. I don't know. Was everyone else standing up? Was.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I was. She. Did she say she tried. She didn't want to steal attention.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, she.

[Dave Portnoy]

And then Travis defended her. I thought now he's like, lay off. It's like, my girl, like, you don't know anything about things. We. Well, here it is. You ain't never had no girl. So what are you all talking about? Me said, find someone else to talk about. Go talk about your girl. Go find a girl. Go find a life. Stop worry about what I going on. I know what I got. My girl been with me for five years. Y'all just not now. Starting to talk about me. You got to go find something else to talk about. Clickbait pages. Stop. Y'all better stop. I'm telling you, something bad is gonna happen to you, you keep doing that. Yeah, better stop with that. I ain't playing good for him defending his girl. I don't know why she didn't stand.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. I don't know. I. I certainly hope it was just, like, blank space or something, you know, like just a little brain fart. Just in the moment, looking at your man.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, maybe she want, like, you've seen the opposite where girls hog too much of the spotlight. Maybe she's like, this is his moment. I don't want to be involved.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Y. Also is kind of like, when you see them, like, you know, grabbing the. The. The trophy maybe a little too much there, taking the photo with it, you're like, ah, yeah. So, yeah, let's. Let's hope for the best.

This was a story that rocked. I feel like tick tock in the Internet. Olivia Pontoon was allegedly at Joe Barrow's house when it was burglized. I don't think the word allegedly has to be in here anymore. She was at his house and called 91 1, so nobody knew they were even dating. He was engaged, but I think they broke up a a recent A decent amount of time ago. Joe Burrow, who I like, said his privacy was violated. People also thought Olivia Pontoon was gay, I think. But I, I, I think we knew she was not. Or at least by cool couple.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Hot couple.

[Dave Portnoy]

Very hot.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Very hot. Smoking hot couple.

[Dave Portnoy]

I feel like Joe Barrow is like, a number one. Like, girls fucking love Joe Burrow.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Oh, God. Yeah. Big crush.

[Dave Portnoy]

Madeline, rg, Central C are back together.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

What question mark is this real?

[Dave Portnoy]

Question mark.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Okay, there's a question mark. Madeline, Argie, and Central C are back together. She. There's no way because she keeps reposting. There was like, a clip of her on a plane or her on quote, in quote marks on a plane, and she responded like, that is not me. I would never go back to that guy. So that. Now that there's more, do you think.

[Dave Portnoy]

It'S Mads in the video? Oh, that's Madeline.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I feel like Central Cee could be just getting girls that look like her in the back of the head to get people talking about him again.

[Dave Portnoy]

Ooh, interesting.

[Josh Richards]

I also feel like they get back together every five months, so I wouldn't put it past them.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

But she, like, I don't. I think it was more so not like, as anywhere near me in Zach's situation, but, like, it was like, a bad situation and she came forward that he was, like, awful.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, I like jacket three.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It's a good jacket, right?

[Dave Portnoy]

Cool.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Thank you.

[Dave Portnoy]

I just kind of was, like, looking at. I like it.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

It kind of looks like you have no arms for me with the chair. Yeah. You're blending.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I blend in. I know.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

It just kind of looks like, I.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Don'T know, it's like a floating bow tie situation.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Yeah. It's nice still.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Thanks. I don't think they're back together.

[Dave Portnoy]

Kyle from Nelk cheats on Overtime. Megan, Kyle and Nelk and Overtime Megan, who are first linked together at the beginning of 2024, have split. Feel like they were together longer than that. I saw them together at UFC. Megan posted TikTok calling him out for cheating after spotting him with his arm around other women. I don't think that means cheating. Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

It's not a great look, though, Dave. You gotta think, like, why are you. Why are you nestled in that close?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I guess. But, like, at the same time, if I'm gonna play Kyle From Nelk defense, Mr. Lawyer, do you think I'm that stupid to be, like, publicly posing like this as a public figure?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, he didn't. He.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, but that was like. That's like a gaslight comment, Dave. That's a gaslight comment right there. Oh, what, you think I'm stupid enough to cheat because I'm famous and people will catch me? So I would never do. That's a gas like comment.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Was he just, like, in the back of this Tick Tock? That's.

[Dave Portnoy]

Wait, is that.

[Unknown]

Who.

[Dave Portnoy]

Who's he goes arm around there on the left. Is that Megan or someone else?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Overtime Megan. This is sad, because on the left in the stripes.

[Josh Richards]

No. Oh, oh, you mean in the top picture or the bottom picture?

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, I was talking about everything I said. Made no sense.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, made no sense. Okay. All right.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, because I thought that was the picture.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Dave was looking at the picture.

[Unknown]

Yeah, it'll be in the edit. It's the. It's the one of the Tick tock, the bottom one that she saw.

[Dave Portnoy]

So now I'm not gaslighting. Right. Do you see what I'm saying?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yes.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Unknown]

If that was the top one, I understand what you're saying. That's just like, a part.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. It could have just been the fan taking a photo. Okay.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I was talking about. I didn't realize that was her.

[Josh Richards]

That's. Yeah, that's his girlfriend. The other girl in the video is the girl.

[Dave Portnoy]

Wait, can I see the video then? Do we not have the video?

[Unknown]

It's a. It's a still.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, that still of him in the.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Back, he probably got it probably got screenshotted from a Snapchat or something and.

[Dave Portnoy]

Wait a minute, but how can you infer anything from that?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

What? Because it's a. He's in the back of a video with his arm around another girl, not thinking he's being filmed or anything. That's cheating.

[Dave Portnoy]

All right. Trash. Overtime, Megan.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Well, I. You think she's trash?

[Dave Portnoy]

Wait, no, she said trash. I'm looking at what she said. She said trash. Lmao.

[Josh Richards]

We should just have Kyle or overtime Megan on Bri.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. This makes me sad because I like them both, but obviously I'm team Megan in this situation.

[Dave Portnoy]

Megan Fox, ex husband tells MGK to grow up. I saw this. Brian Austin Green because he left her. Did MGK leave her when she was pregnant? So he's like, grow up?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. I mean, she probably shouldn't leave her when you're pregnant or leave. Yeah, that's. But people are also saying. Didn't Ray say that she thought they broke up because Megan was cheating with her co star?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, who was the one that had told us in person that Megan Fox was getting really, you know, buddy. Buddy with her co star? Someone told us that Ray right on.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Last episode just said that.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, yeah. Never mind. Okay, I zoned out for half a second. Maybe. I don't know. I. Sorry, guys. My brain's not working. We're getting close to holidays. I'm in holiday brain mode.

[Dave Portnoy]

I just. I just got a text. Drama accounts are coming for Austin now. Crying emoji. It's about time. Austin is dragged.

[Unknown]

Who's. Who's texting you that?

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm not. You think I reveal my sources?

[Unknown]

I know exactly who. Dax said do that.

[Josh Richards]

Austin made it four good years without getting dragged.

[Unknown]

My last episode.

[Josh Richards]

On the last episode.

[Dave Portnoy]

Liking posts from bff.

[Unknown]

I didn't.

[Josh Richards]

But yeah, that's.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Austin would never. If you remember the narrative of Austin and Grace, they were dating.

[Unknown]

I like Grace. This is a shitty situation.

[Dave Portnoy]

I like the Internet calls.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Austin hates me now.

[Dave Portnoy]

The Internet calls Sydney Sweeney mid. These bikini pictures. I mean, she's not mid. I've never been the biggest fan, though. I've said that from the beginning. She's not my cup of tea. But I'm not a. I'm not a boob guy.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Not a boob guy. Wasn't she, like, gaining a bunch of weight for this role anyways?

[Dave Portnoy]

She was.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. And, like, who cares if she gained.

[Dave Portnoy]

And by the way, the people calling her mid would melt if they saw her in person and, like, swallow their tongues.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. And she wouldn't even look in their direction.

[Dave Portnoy]

I mean, I tried to slide into her dms, got nowhere, if you recall.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, yeah, I do recall. The dog didn't even work.

[Dave Portnoy]

No.

[Josh Richards]

Which is tough.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, dude, by the way, did you see I use Peach's surgery yesterday?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Get a little extra, you know, heartstrings.

[Dave Portnoy]

She did have surgery and I'm, like, dealing with that when people come from my throat, it's like Ms. Peaches just had surgery. Layoff.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Is she okay?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, she's doing it. It sucks because you really got to watch her. And Pete the beagle doesn't realize she can't play and he's constantly trying to play.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

We had to when Boston got surgery. You have to separate them somewhere else.

[Dave Portnoy]

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, it is.

[Josh Richards]

And you know it's going to make money. It's like proven to make money. But still, it's just. Come on.

[Dave Portnoy]

There's rumors of a Barbie sequel. That doesn't seem right. Who cares me?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That movie was awesome.

[Dave Portnoy]

You wanna what? What do you do with a Barbie sequel?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I don't know. Laugh, cry, smile, enjoy.

[Josh Richards]

But what's the. What did they figured it Out.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Maybe. But then another war happens. Or maybe there's a war in Barbie land or something.

[Josh Richards]

A war on women.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yep. Or yeah, a war on women that seems is happening in real life right now.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, in our case it's woman v. Woman. Like.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, I was gonna say. Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

So maybe, maybe it's the Barbies go at each other and then Ken has to step in and be like why are you guys pitted against each other? Why are the women always attacking each other?

[Josh Richards]

Violence.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You're Ken.

[Dave Portnoy]

Ken.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, Morgan.

[Josh Richards]

Well, I'm Ken kinda.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. You kind of look like him.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Everybody's Ken. Hi, Ken. Hi Barbie.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's true.

[Josh Richards]

That's true.

[Dave Portnoy]

Morgan Wall sentence and chair throwing incident. He got like what, seven days or something?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

He got seven days in jail.

[Dave Portnoy]

I think that's what he got.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

No, that's.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Seven days in a DUI education center and be. Maybe not jail. Seven days in a DUI education center. Be under supervised provision for two years for throwing a chair off a six story bar that nearly hit two police officers. Honest. Very lucky because hit somebody different story all day.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Matilda Jerf accused of bullying employees. I don't know who she. Matilda Durf is the founder Durf Avenue. I don't know what that is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It's a clothing brand. She's really a popular influencer. And then she made her own clothing brand and people loved her so much. She's like everyone copies her hair color, her clothing. But I haven't seen this.

[Dave Portnoy]

She allegedly said a plus size model had to reshoot because she looked so fat.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

She said that supposedly and they said that she was a psychological terror.

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm sure. I've had people at barstool describe me as a psychological terrorist. Rico Vasco, I'm sure.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

But it's like the people that describe you as psychological terrors are also psychological terrors.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, some. That's for sure. Luigi Min Joni. That's the guy who killed the healthcare worker and did his lawyer are married. That's weird.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Whoa. That's crazy.

[Josh Richards]

Well, I guess they're in the same line of work. Oh, we have a carpool.

[Dave Portnoy]

We have a goodbye Dave video.

[Unknown]

Yeah, of course.

[Dave Portnoy]

So this is lovely. I wish I was this skinny again in this picture from like when we started.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You're fat now?

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh yeah, big time. It's because my shoulder. I can't do nothing.

[Josh Richards]

I mean we look pretty good there. Dave, you look pretty decent.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, no, that. That's. That was peak Dave shape. Okay.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I've always hated that picture.

[Josh Richards]

What? What A picture.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

It makes me uneasy.

[Josh Richards]

That's what. That's what we do.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yep. It's like we're gonna do this podcast. We had met like for five seconds. Like, let's rip these shirts, go skin, take a ridiculous photo.

[Josh Richards]

Right?

[Dave Portnoy]

All right, let. Let's, I guess, roll. Is this like the outro? I'm not. What am I gonna miss the most about BFFs?

[Josh Richards]

Probably me right now.

[Dave Portnoy]

I honestly feel like I'm gonna miss nothing. Like, it's been a miserable couple weeks and I. I, like, just want not to have to be stressing over this.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

That's good.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Good for you too.

[Josh Richards]

But it couldn't have just ended after the Zach Brian High, eh, that was taken us and soared us into this.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Everyone, every avenue was happy.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, we were so close. Hey, we're so close.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

This too shall pass. We'll be all right.

[Dave Portnoy]

Let's roll the outro video. I guess I'm curious to see what this video is.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Me too.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't think anybody watching this gonna know who the fuck I am.

[Josh Richards]

Well, why don't you introduce yourself real quick?

[Dave Portnoy]

We could. I'm Dave Port, and I started Barstool Sports.

[Josh Richards]

I'm Josh Richards.

[Dave Portnoy]

So we're gonna try this podcast. I don't even know how it came about. It's very odd.

[Josh Richards]

Very, very odd.

[Dave Portnoy]

Guys like Josh take their shirts off and like, wiggle their dicks in front of mirrors. And they're the cool kids now.

[Josh Richards]

How's a five foot eight guy gonna throw me in a locker?

[Dave Portnoy]

Dave, five'eight I would have had a guy do it. And by the way, so we got Josh, Brianna. Do we have the camera on Briana? So we have Brianna this time on camera. She fits.

[Josh Richards]

I think so too. I think she adds a good, like, female perspective.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Dave is so invested in this. Like, he actually really cares about Josh.

[Dave Portnoy]

He. He loves Nessa.

[Josh Richards]

I really appreciated when he reached out to me like, a couple times just to make sure I was doing okay, like, mentally and everything.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, I know her. Madison beer.

[Josh Richards]

Nope, that is James Charles.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, no, I can't talk right now. I'll call you back. Bye. Tana. Mojo. What? Are you kidding me?

[Josh Richards]

How videos actually work.

[Dave Portnoy]

Intros.

[Josh Richards]

Like, all those things matters.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, are you autistic? Go on. Good for him.

[Josh Richards]

Did you say go? Go on. I think it's go off.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, go on. Talk more. Oh, hi. You can just leave the food right, like, right there. I had to step out. Are you really five? Eight? All right.

[Josh Richards]

Okay.

[Dave Portnoy]

Which is what Zenyatta is Zenyatta. I call her Zenyatta. That's a horse. And you guys are starting a new project called Demelo Brands. You guys.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

What is you with last names?

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm bad at it. The gang's all here with Josh, Bree, and O'Malley.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Some of the gang was missing.

[Dave Portnoy]

I wouldn't have gone anyways. I like to be invited so I can be like, no, thanks, I'm busy. Oh, I mean, it's you. It's the little guy that. The little gay guy. You don't have the right, Kim Kardashian to listen to Taylor Swift's music. How about that?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Am I, like, stupid? What is like this Taylor version?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, you're stupid.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

You sound so stupid right now.

[Dave Portnoy]

I do. Chicha. Chicha. Football. Touchdown. Football. Touchdown. Football. Touchdown.

[Josh Richards]

Haha. I can tell Josh is picking up Dave's mannerisms and voice. Law.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

I'm a lot stronger than a weak man. And I'm not you. Your money. You.

[Dave Portnoy]

I know as a tough decision, but there's no doubt you did the right thing.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah. Thanks, guys.

[Dave Portnoy]

Ah, look at that. Sentimental peaches.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

This almost brought a tear to my eye.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, maybe this will make people like us.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, maybe we'll. We'll pull on their heartstrings a little more with this. Yeah, they'll come back.

[Dave Portnoy]

You people don't like us. You look at this straight four years.

[Josh Richards]

Look at how happy we looked at one point in time.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

What?

[Brianna Chickenfry]

We have one bad. One bad couple weeks and.

[Dave Portnoy]

And more. So, like, why do they defend Brianna? We've had a podcast with her for a hundred years. You all right?

[Josh Richards]

Look at the name title.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's a good ending to the whole.

[Josh Richards]

That is a good ending. That is. That's crazy. That feel. That felt crazy. It doesn't feel like it's been four years time.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

What the hell?

[Josh Richards]

I was so young when we started this show. I was like, actually a boy.

[Dave Portnoy]

I still remember walking into that house. I walked into the Sway house and like, all the Sway Boys had. They were all trying to do podcasts, and it's like, this guy got linked up with this guy. This guy got linked up. And it wasn't really. It was like we were kind of put together and I told Josh, like, you're the only one that you got. You're the luckiest guy in the room. Like, I'm gonna blow them out of the water. Yeah. All these other guys are clowns. Like, are you kidding me?

[Josh Richards]

Everyone thought they were gonna on our podcast too.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

There's no way this combo's stupid. It doesn't make any sense. Why would David Josh have a podcast?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Four or five years later, I'll still be back.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, we'll. We'll do guests. We'll have you on as a guest.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Yeah, yeah, you have to. You have to come back every once in a while.

[Josh Richards]

You can, like, check in, make sure. Still running.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Or maybe when we have crazy stories, we gotta call David and we're like, we need Dave's take.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's lots to say. Maybe. Maybe, like, I don't even know that I'll go on Tick Tock anymore. Like, the only reason this started for me to be on Tick Tock, I. Maybe I'll have so much, I don't even know what's going on. I'll be one of those people. Like, you hear about this drama. I have no clue what you're talking about. So maybe. All right. It's been. Been a great run.

[Brianna Chickenfry]

Bye, Dave.

[Dave Portnoy]

Have a good life, everybody.
