[Dave Portnoy]

Yes.

[Josh Richards]

I guess I kind of took it all, didn't I?

[Dave Portnoy]

Let's get into that. Let's go, Josh. I literally had the worst interaction top. Do you know when you just have awkward interactions with people?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, of course.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay, so I have this sweatshirt on, right? I didn't. I just like got it sent to me. Pr. It's like a Midol sweatshirt. Do you know what Midol is?

[Josh Richards]

No. Is it an oil company?

[Dave Portnoy]

No, it's a brand of pills that helps your cramps when you have your period.

[Josh Richards]

Okay, close, close, close.

[Dave Portnoy]

Very close. Very close. Almost.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

So they sent me this sweatshirt and it says. I didn't really know what it says. I honestly just put it on. It says, my boobs hurt. And I was at the bodega and I was getting a smoothie and this girl comes up to me while she's staring at me. And like, in a way where it's like, I don't. You know when you can tell people are staring at you cause they like, want to say hi or take a picture? It wasn't in that way. It was in like a. I don't even Know what type of way? I didn't know if she was gonna kill me or if she was just preparing herself to say something. And she comes up to me, and she goes, my boobs hurt too. And I'm like, what? Cause I don't know what sweatshirt I'm wearing. And I'm like, okay, this is really fucking weird. I go, huh. She's like, we're synced up. I'm on my period, too. I'm not on my period. I just have the sweatshirt on. I was like, huh. Like, I am so lost. And then Boston starts barking at her because she can sense that I'm freaked out. And then the girl's like, your sweatshirt. And I still was like, what are you talking about? And I just had to walk out of the situation.

[Josh Richards]

So when did you figure it out?

[Dave Portnoy]

When I left outside. And I looked down at my sweatshirt, but I can't even read it upside down. Like, I didn't even know what it said. I was so confused. And I just want to say to that girl, if you ever see this, I'm sorry. That was really awkward and the most uncomfortable that was on me.

[Josh Richards]

She was just trying to start her day with a connecting moment.

[Dave Portnoy]

I know.

[Josh Richards]

And kind of just butchered that.

[Dave Portnoy]

I know, but imagine someone coming up to you being like, my boobs hurt, too. And you have no idea what sweatshirt you have.

[Josh Richards]

You got to be aware. You got to be aware of what you're wearing.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Josh Richards]

I guess I got to be aware.

[Dave Portnoy]

Thanks for the sweatshirt, my doll.

[Josh Richards]

That's that. Same thing has happened to me when I've worn your sweatshirt, actually.

[Dave Portnoy]

What did it say?

[Josh Richards]

The how lucky are we? Like, people been like, wouldn't you say we're just the luckiest? And I was like, yeah. And they're like, I mean, life is just good. Like, how lucky are we? I'm like, I guess pretty lucky. Like, we live a pretty good life. Yeah. Yeah, we're lucky. And they just kept going with it. And I was sitting there like, okay, what the fuck is going on? Like, what are we doing, like, confirmations or something right now? And then they eventually were like, the back of your hoodie, dude. And I was like, oh, forgot.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, that one's on the back, so that one's hard. But that's kind of a beautiful conversation. It's like, you know what? Yeah, we. We got our pretty lucky.

[Josh Richards]

Well, there's something beautiful about, you know, two people talking about how their. Their boobs hurt. Yeah, I wish in a sinking of. A sinking of Cycles.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. I wish I was synced up with my sister in the bodega, but I wasn't. And I was confused and it was early, and I apologize to her, but.

[Josh Richards]

You know, she wasn't. She wasn't one of your synced sisters.

[Josh Richards]

All right.

[Dave Portnoy]

Actually, there's one before, but it's like, whatever. Bill Belichick and Jordan are engaged.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, congratulations.

[Dave Portnoy]

Do you think he'll be invited to the wedding?

[Josh Richards]

No, I don't know either of them. Why would I get invited to that?

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't know. I feel like they might want to make it young and hip, have some tiktokers there.

[Josh Richards]

Hey, if they want someone to go, like, you know, cover the event, I got it.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Okay. Josh Richards wants to be invited to your wedding. Jordan and Bill, please.

[Josh Richards]

I'll. I'll livestream the wedding if that's what they want.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, they probably definitely want that.

[Josh Richards]

Seems like it would be a weird thing to want, but I'll do it.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, he'll do it. No problem. Good for them, I guess, if they're happy.

[Josh Richards]

Seven years Love. Love is love.

[Dave Portnoy]

Have you seen Kayla's response? This is the biggest thing ever. I mean, every single video she makes gets like 13 million, like, likes views.

[Josh Richards]

That's a pretty good. Pretty good engagement rate.

[Dave Portnoy]

I mean, it's crazy. Like, the whole. I feel like the whole world is invested in this story. I feel like the response was, here we. I guess we could just go through it for people that don't know. So Kayla finally responded to James's video. He posted his video literally like, one hour after the court case hearing, like, was public. And in the video, she says that she and James are not close friends, but they're acquaintances. And when Kayla became public dating Evan, James DM'd her, responding to videos of her and Evan saying, girl, he's so hot. Kayla said the only time they would ever text it was about how hot Evan was and James was initiating it. So James was at a birthday party that Kayla and Evan were at, and Kayla introduced them. She said that Evan and James talked for a Long time. And Evan told her that James kept telling him that he. He was the hottest guy there. Two months later, James replied to a video of her and Evan in Hawaii together and said, omg, he's so beautiful. And those are the only dms in the past year that she would get from James. So when Kayla and Evan were in Hawaii, James was DMing Evan on Instagram. Evan sent a picture to James and said, you should come to Hawaii with. Hawaii with us. And James responded with a selfie saying, why should I come? So Kayla felt like that was weird. Like you would only say that you want to. Like, why should I come? If you're flirting because you want him to be like, so we could.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's. That is a lead on text.

[Dave Portnoy]

100%. Like, why should I come?

[Josh Richards]

No doubt.

[Dave Portnoy]

Finger, mouth.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Then Kayla says, pick me. Response.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yes. Yeah, why should I come? Like, do I look good in this dress? Kayla says that was the first time that she was super weirded out at the situation. So then two weeks later, Evan and Kayla were broken up. James texted Kayla asking if her and Evan were be in a commercial for his makeup brand. Kayla responded saying, Evan actually broke up. Her and Evan actually broke up. And the first thing that James responded back was, can I have him now? Just kidding. What happened? That's crazy. Can I have him now? When you just tell your friend we broke up, can I have him now?

[Josh Richards]

Oh, that's so weird.

[Dave Portnoy]

And she said to him, we broke up last night. I just saw your story. It was crashing out. Tune in for the 30 part series of who the did I Marry? And he said, I. What happened? Can I have him now? She said, imagine the worst things a human can do to you. It would take hours to text it, but you'll see the series soon because what the fuck? But thank you so much. So she literally said, like, imagine the worst things a human being could do. And then she used. Kayla also used the word abuse in the text to James. She did not go into depth with him, but she did insinuate that Evan was abusing her. So the day before Kayla went live about Evan, she had her final call with Evan. In the beginning of the phone call, Evan said, are you going to make a 30 part series series? And the only person that Kayla told that to was James in those texts. So immediately after Kayla had texted James, like, I was abused by this guy. I'm making a 30 part series. James ran to Evan and told him that. And then a few weeks later, a video went public from the Be better exposing that James did have Evan at his house. And James frantically texted Kayla because she asked if Evan was at his house, and he lied and said that he wasn't. And so he was, like, homing Evan after he knew everything, and then he freaked out and was like, I just didn't. I want to explain it to you. Like, we need to talk. So the only response from James with him posting all the texts with Evan was, I lied to you. I shouldn't have. I felt guilty for weeks, but I didn't know how to tell you, and I owe you the truth. So just, like, a little too late. And then James posted this story. I watched Kayla's videos last night, and I'm grateful that she did not feed into the lies that she was told by Zach while also expressing how I upset her. I said in my original video, and I'll say it again, Kayla, I'm sorry that I ever involved with this compulsive liar, and I'm even more sorry that my involvement hurt you. She said in her video that she wasn't sure which stories from Evan were true. And there seems to be some confusion about my involvement before their breakup. I want to make it clear absolutely did not pursue Evan or have a secret plot to take him from Kayla. Boy, shut up. You were dming. He's so sexy. I want to come to Hawaii and ride that ass.

[Josh Richards]

Like, can I have him now?

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, what?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. What a. What a liar. Just a pathological liar. If people don't see it, they're dumb.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, that is so, like, so crazy. That's like you. You and Gabby. Or Gabby texting me and being like, actually, we're friends, so not really. But, like, that's like my girlfriend breaking up with her boyfriend and being like, yeah, we broke up. And me saying, can I have him now?

[Josh Richards]

That is weird as fuck.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, that is the most diabolical, craziest thing ever. I just can't. And if people are still on James's side after that, it's just like.

[Josh Richards]

Like I said last time, Team Kayla staying on that team.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, yeah, anyone is.

[Josh Richards]

Will always have my opinion until Kayla tells me to think otherwise. Once. Once she goes, hey, this is what happened, I'd go, yep, all right. That's what happened.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, well, she told us. She was like, fudge James. I don't want. Like, the fact that he could do that as a friend is just. It's just fucked up.

[Josh Richards]

Yep.

[Dave Portnoy]

So. But I don't think anyone we ride for there is Team James. And if they are what the.

[Josh Richards]

Lock them up too. Lock them all up?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, put them all. They all need to go to therapy or something.

[Josh Richards]

Ship them to an island. Start a new Australia.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Where would it be? Make an island for them. Ah, that sounds bad.

[Josh Richards]

No, we can't, like, it can't be like a nice island.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, it has. Yeah, it would have to be somewhere like it. Put them in Antarctica.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, there we go then. They can't take no thought photos either. They'd be in the cold.

[Dave Portnoy]

They'd freeze if they love thought photos in the cold.

[Josh Richards]

Damn it.

[Dave Portnoy]

You know what I mean? The bikini pics.

[Josh Richards]

Those don't get cold. Those don't get cold. They really don't.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, let's. Let's. Okay. Do you have, like. Do you think that James is gonna kind of do what Anna Paul is doing and just continue to post through all of this? Do you think, like, he's gonna actually finally be canceled? Is he? Let's look. Is he, like, posting stuff?

[Josh Richards]

Nothing stopped him before. He just does a classic little, oh, let me take a break.

[Dave Portnoy]

And then comes back with, like, break.

[Josh Richards]

And then just comes back like nothing happened.

[Dave Portnoy]

Makeup. Let's see. What's the last thing he posted? I think the last thing. Yeah, the last thing he posted was his, like, apology video or whatever, I guess. Or saying that he. He doesn't support Evan Johnson.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, the well scripted apology video.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. That was like, perfectly perfect with not one. Like, there was not even an error in it at all.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, baloney.

[Dave Portnoy]

Baloney. We're calling baloney. But I'm very curious to see if he posts through this or what happens. But I also keep seeing. Seeing people being like, he's uncancellable.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I guess it depends what you classify as, like, canceled.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, true. But I guess, like, I don't think. I don't see brands wanting to work with him after this. So, like, he's just gonna have to.

[Josh Richards]

Be just like monetization on every other platform. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

I guess we'll see.

[Josh Richards]

I guess we will.

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't even want to read the next one. All right, guys, quick commercial break. So I just got back from Nashville. The barstool block party. It was a friggin blast. And it was sponsored by Ghost Energy. We had plenty of Ghost Energies. It was amazing. I was drinking little mixes with Ghost Energies. I was drinking in the morning. I was drinking it after. Kept me going for the whole entire time. Everyone set was drinking it. Everyone on stage were drinking it. It was amazing. And Ghost. We love it. We talk about it all the time. There's a bunch of different flavors and it's 200 milligrams of natural caffeine. There's no artificial flavors, zero sugars, fully transparent, fully loaded. Feel good Energy. And the flavor of the summer is here, which is amazing. It's their new flavor. I have it stocked in my apartment. It seemed like it. I was kind of a little hesitant when I first started. Cuz it's iced tea, it's energy iced tea, lemonade. But it's also bubbly. So you're like, what's this going to taste like? Amazing. It tastes like summer in a can. And it also makes you feel good, it makes you focused. And you gotta try it if you haven't yet. We'll be sipping it on the golf course, the pickleball courts, at the beach all summer. It's amazing. And it's now sold nationwide for a limited time only. Don't sleep on this epic new flavor. Make sure to try out Ghost energy iced tea lemonade. It's iconic. Celtics eliminated by the Knicks. And it's my fault, I fear.

[Josh Richards]

Ah. I mean, you were kind of the token bad luck charm.

[Dave Portnoy]

I really. It was. And I. I'm just a very superstitious person. Like I used to be super superstitious when I like did competitions in high school and in basketball. And it followed. It followed a fucking A pattern. When I watched the games they lost. When I went to the game, Jayson Tatum tore his fucking Achilles. And when I didn't watch, it was a blowout. And they did great. And I watched for two seconds at this last game because someone put it on in the bus. Fucking they were done lost. And I wore jersey. Fuck me, man. I'm blaming it on me. It's not the Celtics fault.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, I put the blame on you as well. I think all of Boston should probably put the blame.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, the whole city blame me, man. It's my fault.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, just the whole city right against you.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh my God. The whole city. My city against me because it was my fault. Josh. When I was wearing. I was wearing a Celtics jersey when the Knicks won and I was in Nashville and I had to like walk through and it was all New York people. Like at this event, I felt. And have you watched Game of Thrones? No. You haven't?

[Josh Richards]

No, I haven't. No, I haven't.

[Dave Portnoy]

The CRC shame walk. I felt like that like people like people from. They were up on a bridge, were just screaming, fuck Boston. Fuck the Celtics. Jason Tatum's a pussy. I've never felt more violated in my life.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No. New York goes crazy. I think I saw a video of, like, the streets of just New York, people just yelling.

[Dave Portnoy]

It was kind of sick.

[Josh Richards]

I like. I like a city that rides for their team.

[Dave Portnoy]

Me too.

[Josh Richards]

That's fun. You see Timmy, see a city, get behind it. It's pretty great. Yeah. That man is Nick's through and through.

[Dave Portnoy]

He's a king of New York.

[Josh Richards]

I fear he might. He. He may be the king of New York.

[Dave Portnoy]

He's literally out the window of his car, people putting him in a headlock. He's like, Nick. So let's go. He's awesome.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, it's. It's wild. It's wild.

[Dave Portnoy]

Do you think he's the most loved white boy right now? Besides you, of course.

[Josh Richards]

No, I'll give it to Timmy. I'll give it to Timmy. I think he's got to be the most loved white boy.

[Dave Portnoy]

You passing the torch.

[Josh Richards]

Who. Who's getting. Who's getting more love as a white boy than Timmy?

[Dave Portnoy]

That's what I mean. I can't even think of another white boy being loved like Timmy. Try to think who's another white. Oh, I'm like, actor or just in general white boy?

[Josh Richards]

I think just in general white boy.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's Timmy. It's Timmy or nothing. I can't even think of one. Jake, Shane.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, Jake, Shane or Timmy.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, role model. But, like, it's not this. It's not to the same level.

[Josh Richards]

Is on a different level than both of them.

[Dave Portnoy]

He's the most A list celebrity right now, I think.

[Josh Richards]

Man. I think it's him. I think. I can't put it. I can't think of one that I put higher.

[Dave Portnoy]

Me either. And also, did you see Dave, like, talking to him?

[Josh Richards]

No.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. There's a picture of them, like, sitting and talking, and I need to know what they talked about so bad.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. What is Dave talking to Timothee Chalamet about?

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't know, but it's kind of funny. Like, Dave's the biggest Celtics fan and he's the biggest Knicks fan, and I'm like, maybe they just got along over that. They just love basketball.

[Josh Richards]

Or they just weren't beefing each other. They were just beefing each other about the team.

[Dave Portnoy]

They were talking each other.

[Josh Richards]

That would have been something.

[Dave Portnoy]

That would have been crazy. Holy. Dude, did you see the Mexican naval ship crash into the Brooklyn Bridge?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. That was terrible.

[Dave Portnoy]

Awful.

[Josh Richards]

First of all, how do they not know the height requirement for that bridge, like, how do they not know? The ship doesn't know. So was like the sea level higher unexpectedly, like what was going on there?

[Dave Portnoy]

No, there was. There was an engine failure. To what? I know that there was an engine failure and they like physically couldn't stop it. So it wasn't like they were trying to go under the bridge because even if they were, they would go through the middle because that's the highest point of the bridge.

[Josh Richards]

So they were going through like the side.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, they essentially just crashed. Like they couldn't stop the boat and there were people.

[Josh Richards]

So why, if they knew there was an engine failure, like were they working to get the people down off the mass.

[Dave Portnoy]

I think it happened all so fast and they were already up there and it. They couldn't. Awful. I didn't. When I first watched it, I didn't realize there were people at the top of it.

[Josh Richards]

I mean, you see them falling off.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's horrible.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, it's. It's a really sad situation.

[Dave Portnoy]

And all the people on the bridge, like imagine if it. The bridge went down.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, the bridge gotta be built pretty strong so that like a, like a mast isn't gonna take it out. But still it, it was just. It was just crazy to see people falling from the top of that ship. I. Yeah, it was. It was a wild video. It was a wild video.

[Dave Portnoy]

And. And the craziest part is like there's 10,000 videos from every different angle of these people falling off.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Awful.

[Josh Richards]

So many people there like just seeing what's going on and taking a video. I mean. Yeah. I just hope all the people like obviously prayers out to the families of the two people that passed away.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Awful. So sad.

[Josh Richards]

And then I just hope everyone makes. Makes a full recovery or, or at least, you know, is able to get better. Cuz I think it was like what, like 20, 20 something injured as well.

[Dave Portnoy]

Critically injured.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Yeah, that's. That's really tough.

[Dave Portnoy]

Prayers up to everyone. That was awful. Sorry that the video is plastered everywhere. Dave is being banned from the wnba.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, I don't. What? What is it? What do you mean? What does that mean? Is this like a petition going around?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, there's a petition on change.org to WNBA games. The petition is now closed and has 1029 supporters.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, that's like not even close to as many as I thought they were going to be. Come on guys, get some more signees. What are you doing?

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm sure you could have got a lot more People to sign that.

[Josh Richards]

You could have got so many more people. What? Do you guys want to take this seriously or not?

[Dave Portnoy]

I know.

[Josh Richards]

Do you want them Bane at the games? This is fuel in the fire now. All that does is just give him a little bit of fuel. With what, a thousand signature?

[Dave Portnoy]

I know also. Well, it was crazy. So did you see like the. The Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese shit?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like their little beef at the game.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, their little beef, like the one sided beef, which is kind of crazy. But they. They edited a video of Dave. Like Dave is clapping and like just like talking like as he does.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Watches all sports. And they edited like ice monkey sounds over it and wrote Dave Portnoy chanting monkey sounds and like fever fans chanting monkey sounds at Angel Reese. It's like if any person that like has a brain watches the video and they. You can hear the sound switch and like change. So it's obviously fake, but I think that's why the. The petition started.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, that's just stupid people doing stupid shit then.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Just so crazy. And also Dave brings so much, I don't know, I feel like viewership to women's sports.

[Josh Richards]

I mean, he's definitely been somebody that's been a true fan of the WNBA since, you know, it started to get attention like. And he's been somebody that's been like promoting the wnba. So he's just. I don't know. I don't know why you'd want to take away a big fan, but he's also obviously not gonna do something like that.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh my God, obviously not. And the man wore full uniform to the game.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. It looked like he was about to like fill up their water bottles or something. It looks like he was like the water boy.

[Dave Portnoy]

There was a video of him on the sideline in the. In full uniform.

[Josh Richards]

I think I saw this video.

[Dave Portnoy]

The comments were crazy. Yeah, they were like, why? And some people don't know it's Dave and they're like, why is this grown man fully dressed to play dressed?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, it's really good. It was golden. But yeah, Dave is. Dave is not going to be banned. He just won like $300,000 bet on Caitlin Clark.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Yeah, the triple double. It was. It's pretty insane.

[Dave Portnoy]

Pretty crazy. What do we. We got next? Judge strikes down Justin Baldoni claim to Blake Lively tried to extort Taylor Swift. So Justin Baldoni's team is ongoing case against Blake Lively submitted a letter claiming that Lively's lawyers demanded Taylor Swift to release a statement of support for Blake. The Judge on the case granted Lively's request to strike the letter from the case, calling it irrelevant to any issue before the court, and claimed all the letter was attempting to do was to change public opinion. All right. I mean, she never did a public announcement for support, so I don't know if they're still buddies.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, well, no, this was. Wait, I'm confused. Was Justin Baldoni the one that tried to submit a letter from Taylor Swift, or was it Blake Lively?

[Dave Portnoy]

He, like, he submitted a claim that Blake Lively submit or asked Taylor Swift's team to do public support letter online, but they dismissed that from the court case because they were like, this is irrelevant. They were just trying to change public opinion. So Blake asked Taylor to say, like, a statement of support, and Taylor did it.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, fair enough. Okay.

[Dave Portnoy]

That should be enough for the judge to be like, bestie ain't even on her side.

[Josh Richards]

I mean, it just. It just brings you into whole world of, you know, craziness. And if you're Taylor Swift, why do that?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Not a good look for. For T. Swift.

[Josh Richards]

No, no. And it's not really something that involves her.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, it would. Yeah. Why would. Yeah, it is just.

[Josh Richards]

It's just a letter to make like, oh, then Taylor Swift fans are going to be like, okay, we, like, like, you know what I mean? Like, there's no. There's no win for. For Taylor, like, point in doing that. Really.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. It's like, why involve yourself?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Yup. No JB, though, he sold his music catalog for 200 mil. I remember seeing that headline, like, what was it like three years ago, four years ago when he sold his music catalog? And I thought to myself, like, because there was a couple people that sold it around that time as well. And I was just thinking, 200 mil for Justin Bieb.

[Dave Portnoy]

I know the songs, like, should have been so much higher, but now I guess it all makes sense.

[Josh Richards]

I was thinking, like, at least. At least 500. At least 500 million.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

I guess it's because he was in debt. I don't know.

[Dave Portnoy]

I. Man, he. He was really going through it.

[Josh Richards]

Here's the thing, though. That guy can, like, in a second, if he wants to go and make, like, actually a billion dollars.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. If he wanted to, 100 or at.

[Josh Richards]

Least like 500 mil. Like, if he just went like, okay, I'm gonna go do an eras tour.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, easy.

[Josh Richards]

$500 million.

[Dave Portnoy]

Or if just started going to like, like perform for people's weddings like those rich, like Rihanna did for like 10 mil.

[Josh Richards]

10 mil? Show up fees.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Appearance fees. It just starts, hey, people would probably pay for it.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's what I mean.

[Josh Richards]

Would definitely pay for it.

[Dave Portnoy]

Or if he just, like, did. He could do, if he wanted to, just as many brand deals as he could in one year, probably make a billion dollars.

[Josh Richards]

I don't think that much, but I think, you know, I don't know, do some brand deals and make like 40 million.

[Dave Portnoy]

But if he did one every day and he just did it for the most highest price, he wouldn't.

[Josh Richards]

He wouldn't be getting brand deals anymore. If he did one every day, people would be like, okay, something is going really, really wrong.

[Dave Portnoy]

This man needs money. He needs so much money.

[Josh Richards]

What is happening, dude? Did you see? He just should do an aerostore.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's not on here because he just posted it, but this is kind of crazy. So he. He just posted Haley is on the COVID of Vogue. And he posted on Instagram. And this is the caption. He posted the picture of Haley on Vogue. Yo, this reminds me. When Haley and I got into a huge fight, I told Hales that she would never be on the COVID of Vogue. Yikes. I know. So mean. For some reason, because I felt so disrespected, I thought I got to get even. I think we've matured. We realize we're not helping anything by getting even. What the hell, Jay? That is such a me. Like, why would you admit that online? And you know that that's gonna give more to the. To like the fire and the fuel of that. You hate your wife and you know that that's the only thing online. I'm like, I just want to zip his mouth for a second and let Queen Haley enjoy her moment. Because now this is going to be the discourse of the COVID No one's even going to talk about the COVID It's going to be like, your husband said that you would never be on.

[Josh Richards]

It, away from her moment. I see that. I see that.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, and also, I don't if your husband talks to you like that, though, like, I would never say that to anyone. Would you ever say that to Gabby's.

[Josh Richards]

Trying to be vulnerable and. And. And grow as a man?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, sure.

[Josh Richards]

Spin it in a positive, like, cuz I love jb.

[Dave Portnoy]

I love him to death. He's being honest. I get it. And he probably doesn't talk that way anymore if he's saying that online. But that's his conversation with your therapist, not the millions of people that already destroy your relationship and your wife on the. On the. Every day.

[Josh Richards]

Could I take Like a two minute bathroom break. I gotta go to the bathroom so bad.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah. Maybe that's a. Maybe that's a private thing. Maybe that's a private thing. You share it with like, therapist.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. And congrats. The cover's beautiful.

[Josh Richards]

And cover is beautiful. You know what else I saw talking about celebrities and, and pictures was Jennifer Lopez is getting sued by paparazzi, I believe.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

I think that posting her own photo. Is that on the sheet?

[Dave Portnoy]

I think it's on it. Let's talk about it.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, because that, that has happened to me before as well.

[Dave Portnoy]

Wait, really?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I posted like a picture that paparazzi took and then pretty much I think that they were like threatening to sue me if I didn't like, take it down or like buy the. Buy the rights of the photo and whatnot. And to me, I guess I understand because you took the photo, but like.

[Dave Portnoy]

Was it in a.

[Josh Richards]

It's me, dog, it's me.

[Dave Portnoy]

It's literally.

[Josh Richards]

I didn't ask you to come take the photo. You took it. It's of me. It's my name, image and likeness. Like, how in the hell am I not allowed to post a photo of myself?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, that's actually bizarre when you think about it. And as if what you were probably in public, right? Yeah. So it's like, what the fuck? They just own the picture of you.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, that's what I was saying too. And their logo was like in the bottom of the photo. I was like, bro, I'm pretty much giving you a shout out.

[Dave Portnoy]

I gave you credit, dude, I tagged you.

[Josh Richards]

I mentioned you got credit. It's right there. It's right there. It's in the bottom.

[Dave Portnoy]

What? Yeah, it says that she's being sued for copyright infringement from paparazzi, claiming she used photos of herself on Instagram and Twitter for self promotion promoting her fashion affiliations and brand partnerships. And she's being sued for 150k per photo. That's fucked up.

[Josh Richards]

I just don't. That just don't seem right to me. No, I just me personally, I don't know. I don't know what the, the general public thinks, but to me that's weird.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's a picture. It's you. It's you. It doesn't make any sense.

[Josh Richards]

It's me, dog. What the hell?

[Dave Portnoy]

Damn. J. Lop she. I hope she wins the case.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, beat the case.

[Dave Portnoy]

Beat the case. J. Lo, Kris Jenner has a new face.

[Josh Richards]

Whoa.

[Dave Portnoy]

The Internet's going crazy over her.

[Josh Richards]

How is that? How do you do that?

[Dave Portnoy]

She looks exactly like Kendall. That you crazy 60.

[Josh Richards]

I don't understand how that's even possible.

[Dave Portnoy]

So here's what they do. They do, they chop you open right here like all right here. They chop you open all down here like behind your ears. They chop your neck and they pull it up and they sew it back into the muscle. It's a facelift. And she definitely got a full facelift in a neck lift because I mean she looks like her daughter.

[Josh Richards]

That's crazy. Like so like what is the long term effects of that anything or do you just like kind of lose muscle function?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, like you lose the elasticity and you'll be like a little like you can tell when someone like you'll kind.

[Josh Richards]

Of just always like wide eye. It's.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. And it like makes your lip like so you're kind of just like this. And you probably laugh like damn. But I mean not if you have a Kris Jenner doctor though. Like she's probably.

[Josh Richards]

That's what I'm thinking too. And a. She looks good.

[Dave Portnoy]

She looks phenomenal.

[Josh Richards]

I got to say. She has good hair. She has great hair for a 69 year old woman.

[Dave Portnoy]

You like her new little short bob?

[Josh Richards]

I just think like it looks very full, you know. Usually when you're a 69 year old woman, like your hair starts thin.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

It's just how. Usually what happens. Right. I mean, it happens to everyone. It happens to men, it happens to women.

[Dave Portnoy]

As you age, your hair, her hair is. Hers is thick as. You know what's probably some extensions in there, though.

[Josh Richards]

You think they're a little bit of short extensions?

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, for sure.

[Josh Richards]

All right.

[Dave Portnoy]

I think so. But she does. She looks great and she looks very professional in that suit and tie of hers.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Do you know this? Do you know this guy?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. This is crazy.

[Dave Portnoy]

You take it away, then. I don't know anything about.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, outdoor boys are ending. It's a sad time to see one of the. One of the. You could say one of the goats. You could say one of the good ones. You know, I think that's really what it is. It's one of the good ones that are stepping away from social media and you never want that. But I guess often the bad ones don't really step away, right? Yeah. But, yeah, they had like 15 mil subs. They announced the main guy, the dad, he announced he's retiring because fame was just getting to be a little bit too much like him and his family can have a normal life. You got to respect it. You got to respect it. Because I don't think people realize who they may. But like, I don't know how if a lot of people realize, like what he's stepping away from to go and just be like, I just want to live a normal life with my family. Like, you're talking about probably $200,000 a video he's stepping away from. Yeah, he was getting 10 million views a video. There's no way his CPM is it sitting at the highest point. There's no cussing. It's all like, you know, nature travel. Like, this guy was probably making bank printing cash and steps away to just be with his boys, be with, you know, be with his family, be with his wife. And to me, that's.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's honorable.

[Josh Richards]

Super impressive. Yeah. So honorable. That's just, you know, a dad looking out for his family, which is his number one role. It's not to make YouTube videos. It's to be a dad. And he goes, hey, this isn't letting me be that. So I'm gonna go and just focus on the family. Respect. Respect.

[Dave Portnoy]

I saw everyone freaking out about this, so I, I watched the goodbye video. I didn't really understand it, but he seems so sweet and lovely.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, you got, you got. If you're ever in, like, a mood where you're just like, I need, like, something to cheer me up or I need something just to give me good vibes, go watch one of his videos. They're awesome.

[Dave Portnoy]

Man, I wish I. I wish I found out who he was before he left.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

But I guess I have the years of content to watch.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. You got so much time to catch up.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay, good, good. I'll watch it all.

[Josh Richards]

And I believe he's posting banked videos until the end of 2025. Okay, like, he's done, but he's posting, like, banked up videos. That's so considered this year. And then he's done to announce he's even looking out for the people.

[Dave Portnoy]

Hi, Bobby.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, just a legend. Just a legend. You'll have to see people like that win.

[Dave Portnoy]

Wow. Love him. And another good guy coming right up. Harry Styles. He took a photo of a random couple that he met who were fans of his, and then DM to the fans of the picture on Instagram as prom, as promised. Hope you guys had a great trip.

[Josh Richards]

H that's so. Imagine walking down the street like with your girl, and you're just. And you kind of just like, look for the closest person and be like, hey, can you take a photo? And then it's Harry Styles.

[Dave Portnoy]

Harry Styles. And then they. He DMS you the fucking picture because such a good guy with a big heart.

[Josh Richards]

Damn, this is what a good girlfriend. Not being like, actually, honey, you take the photo. Me and Harry are good to get this photo together right now.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I probably done that.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah. Hey, and how can you blame him? How could you blame him?

[Dave Portnoy]

It's Harry Styles. I've been thinking a lot about Harry lately. I feel like, really?

[Josh Richards]

I wonder if he's ever thought about you.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I was thinking about it because I'm so sad. He was my favorite. And I feel like he's at the point where he did all the touring, he made all the incredible music, and I feel like he's just slipped away into living his best life, running marathons, being rich, being Harry. Do you think he's ever gonna come back?

[Josh Richards]

I think so. I do think so. You see it sometimes our artists just want to take, like a little break. You know, he did so much touring, came out with great music. Like, maybe he just needs to have, like a creative re centering and he's just like, okay, let me live life a little bit so I can write some music about some new stuff. You got to live life to write Music. You got to experience things.

[Dave Portnoy]

But I feel like he's just having so much fun. He's like, why don't I want to go back to being famous, maybe?

[Josh Richards]

I mean, he's still, like, super or.

[Dave Portnoy]

Like, in the spotlight. I mean, like, everyone talking about me.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, I see what you mean. I see what you mean. Yeah. No, I hope he does. I hope he does.

[Dave Portnoy]

Please, Harry, please. Just one more tour. One more tour. Maybe you could do a show with Miley Cyrus. I don't know. I know that probably would never happen, but that would be really cool.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. Please. We already talked about JLO being sued. Josh being sued. So you're pretty much JLO level, huh?

[Josh Richards]

No, I wouldn't say that even close. But. But we relate to each other.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. On a lot of things, huh?

[Josh Richards]

Yep.

[Dave Portnoy]

We got hot takes.

[Josh Richards]

Let's rip them.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay, first one, Morgan Wallen and Tate McCray, 8.

[Josh Richards]

I don't even know what that means.

[Dave Portnoy]

Tate McCray featured on one of Morgan Wallen's songs on his new album. It's actually. Actually good.

[Josh Richards]

All right. I believe it.

[Dave Portnoy]

I love it. What do we got next?

[Josh Richards]

Influencers are actually more a list than normal celebrities, and I like that they go to events.

[Dave Portnoy]

I will say I just did. Name Jake Shane, the most famous. I think that there's.

[Josh Richards]

There's. I think we're at a point now where there are specific influencers that are reaching a list almost.

[Dave Portnoy]

I agree. Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

I wouldn't say all influencers are a list, though.

[Dave Portnoy]

No. But there's definitely some. Like.

[Josh Richards]

Like, no one. No one in the. It's just, like, almost impossible for someone in the creator community to touch, like, Tom Cruise or, like a Brad Pitt. You know what I'm saying? Like, they've just been so solidified for so many years as, like, the highest level of a list. Movie action star like kaisenet or like Mr. Beast, to me, are like, the two biggest people in social media.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, for sure.

[Josh Richards]

And do you think if you went around the world and you asked, do you know Kaisenet, do you know who Brad Pitt is? Or do you know who Tom Cruise is? Who's getting more. I. I think it's still got to be a Tom Cruiser.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, but definitely depending on the demographic.

[Josh Richards]

Like, if you ask kids, I think kids still watch. Kids aren't watching, like, Mission Impossible?

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't think so.

[Josh Richards]

You don't think kids watch Mission Impossible?

[Dave Portnoy]

I think they were more likely to watch a streamer.

[Josh Richards]

I'm not saying that they don't watch the streamer. But I just think like how Many, how many 50 year olds are watching Kaiser Net?

[Dave Portnoy]

I don't know. That's a good question.

[Josh Richards]

We should ask like my parents don't know who Kai Sinette is. You know what, I know like a lot, definitely know who Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise is and everyone their age does. So like everyone that is like 60 years old and younger, they got a good chance of knowing who. I would say like Tom Cruise is the bigger one. But like Tom Cruise.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah. And I guess like it's not Cruise. I don't know if there's.

[Josh Richards]

Do you think an artist, like musicians.

[Dave Portnoy]

Who'S in like a household name yet?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, Mr. Beast.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, I guess, yeah, I guess I don't think of him as an influencer. But he is.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, that's exactly what he is.

[Dave Portnoy]

Is he?

[Josh Richards]

Or yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Would you call him a YouTuber?

[Josh Richards]

That's an influencer.

[Dave Portnoy]

You think so? When I think of influencer, like what?

[Josh Richards]

So your influencer isn't just held to like Tik Tok.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, I know, I know, but would you like consider yourself an influencer?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, this, that's like what I do. I do social media. There's other things that I do. But like you would still, like general public would know me as an influencer.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I guess. I don't know but when I think of influencer, I just think of someone that's like trying to make people buy products.

[Josh Richards]

No, I think it's just like the.

[Dave Portnoy]

Term for like I think Alex Earl influencer. When I think Jake Shane, I don't know what I think of him. Like I don't know. Celebrity.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, but I think, I think they're, they're like, it's just synonyms.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, I guess, I don't know.

[Josh Richards]

That's my thought.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, this one's bad.

[Josh Richards]

Girls is. Oh wait, is that the right one? Yeah. Girls is overrated. Sorry. Brew, you'll grow to hate. Watch it by the end. What is Girls?

[Dave Portnoy]

Girls is. It's an iconic show that everyone talks about. It's like, everyone says it's like one of the greatest shows ever written and that makes me really sad. I just started it this week so I just finished season one because Jake Shane always talks about. I'm talking a lot about Jake Shane today. But yeah, Jake Shane, he's like my whole for you page right now. But he always talks about girls. So I started it and God, it is so fucking good. You should watch it with Gabby. I think you would like it too. It's really funny.

[Josh Richards]

All right. All Right.

[Dave Portnoy]

But I really hope we don't grow to hate it. I. Everyone does say that. You watch it and then you grow to hate the characters because they just do stuff that is so like, why are you doing that? But it's so like real life where you feel like. I don't know. I guess we'll see. I'll come back to you guys on that. Who would say this Timothy Chalamet is not hot?

[Josh Richards]

It's not hot.

[Dave Portnoy]

You skipped that. He's the hottest white boy on the block.

[Josh Richards]

That's a cold, cold take. Cold take. Morgan Wallen throwing the chair. SNL walk off was staged.

[Dave Portnoy]

No way. He went to jail?

[Josh Richards]

I don't think so.

[Dave Portnoy]

Unless they staged the night in jail.

[Josh Richards]

They think both throwing the chair and SNL walk off were stage. I don't know, man. It doesn't seem like that helped him out.

[Dave Portnoy]

No, it seemed. If anything, it made it a lot his life a lot worse.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, I don't get that.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, wait, what's this? Bryce's post with Mads at her wedding was so weird. What did he post?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, I don't. What are they referring to? I don't.

[Dave Portnoy]

So he posted a video of them from when they were friends a long time ago and then posted a side by side of them at their wedding. Oh, not their wedding. Wait, I don't know if that's weird.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, I don't know why. I don't really understand how that's weird either.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, because the top comment is like, didn't you guys hook up? It's giving first and last episode of a TV show.

[Josh Richards]

That's kind of funny. First and last episode of a TV show.

[Josh Richards]

It was really nice. Like, I mean, the venue was beautiful. It was like a great, great. Sorry, what do you call that?

[Dave Portnoy]

Ceremony?

[Josh Richards]

Ceremony. Thank you. I don't know why I was blanking on that word. Beautiful ceremony. Nice wedding. Yeah, it was great. It was great. It was a good time.

[Dave Portnoy]

Was it good to see everyone back together?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. I mean, it wasn't like they were like, like it was a small wedding. Oh, it was a really small wedding. Like I would have thought going into it, you know, like, oh, this is going to be a 150 to 200 something person wedding. Right. I think there were like 75 people there.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, it was an intimate wedding.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. It wasn't, it wasn't large. It was pretty much all family. And then, you know, you had like the bridesmaids and I think in like one of them was definitely the sister of Mads Riley. And then, you know, maybe like a couple of her friends and then us. Like, it wasn't like there was like a ton of people and the people that, like. I know, it was just like, me, Markel, Curtis, Gabby, Anthony, Blake, Sean, Gavin, Grace, Bryce, Mika. So there was like, there was like 11 of us that were kind of like friends that all, you know, came up together and, like, have known each other through social media. But it wasn't, it wasn't a massive wedding, was it?

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay, so going into it, did you feel a little awkward because you didn't know any of like her family or was it you just stuck with?

[Josh Richards]

Well, I have, I've met like, I've met Mads, his parents, Like, I think both of them I've met maybe once or like twice in the past, like a long time ago. But I met both of them so there was nothing, like weird about it. And we knew like our people and everything. And it's also like a wedding, you know, it's just about the people up top. It's not like we're there to, like, socialize.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, true.

[Josh Richards]

With everybody, like everyone wants to just socialize with them, you know, so it wasn't, it wasn't weird at all. It was a great time.

[Dave Portnoy]

Did you shed a tear?

[Josh Richards]

I. I didn't. I didn't shed a tear. But I was thinking when, like, I looked over at Gabby and, you know, she's kind of, like, letting a tear or two come down, I realized, like, there's a lot of pressure on the groom to cry when they see the bra. I was gonna ask, because I was like, I was. I was kind of sitting there. I'm like, damn. Like, I really gotta cry. And Gabby. As I'm thinking this, Gabby leans over as if she can read my mind, and it's like, you better cry. When I walk down that aisle and I look at her, and I'm like, oh, my God, that's so much. That. Like, that's so much. Of course I'm gonna cry. But now. Now I feel like I have to cry. Like, now I'm. I'm forced to, like, what if I don't cry? And she said, if you don't cry, I'm gonna walk back up the aisle, and we're gonna do it again until you cry. I was like, all right, fair enough. Fair enough, actually. But I. I know I. I know I'd cry.

[Dave Portnoy]

Did Hayden cry?

[Josh Richards]

Yeah. Yeah. You could tell Hayden was nervous. Like, he walked down the aisle, and he kind of, like, it was. It was kind of cute, actually. Like, he's walking down the aisle, and he can't even look at anyone.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

Like, he is. He's like. Like, you can just see it on his face. He's like, holy, holy, holy. Like, this is the biggest day of my life. Like, and just, like, kind of, like, eyes, dad. Like, oh, my goodness. And then got up, and I think as soon as he got up, it was like the moment hit him, you know, like, and you kind of saw it on his face. And Mads walks down, and, like, he starts tearing up, and it was. It was a really nice. A really nice ceremony.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, that's good. And Mads dress was so pretty. I loved it. She looked so beautiful. Congrats to Hayden and Mads.

[Josh Richards]

Yep. Yep. I actually was thinking, like, when. After they walked down. I don't know why my. My head goes to these places, but after they walked down, like, later in the night, I was like, I wonder what, like, the worst things you could say would be on, like, the altar. You know what I mean? What do you think? Like, I don't know. Like, what if your bride came down? Let's play a little game, right? I'll be like, the worst things the groom could say when the Bride comes down and then you give one the worst thing the bride could say when they come down.

[Dave Portnoy]

Okay.

[Josh Richards]

You know what I mean? You got it. I think, like, a pretty bad one would be, like, if the bride came down and you were like, that's the dress you went with. Like, that would be a tough one.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, that. I mean, that would be awful.

[Josh Richards]

That would be a tough one to hear. Or like, what if the. What if the bride came down and then you were like, could have went with a bigger veil, you know what I mean? Like, that'd be pretty fucked.

[Dave Portnoy]

Maybe Justin Bieber might have said that.

[Josh Richards]

What if. What if they came down and you were, like, spent so much money on this venue you couldn't afford makeup?

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, my God, you're marrying a horrible person. Or what if the bride comes down, she gets down, she's like, just so you know, I hooked up with your brother before I knew you.

[Josh Richards]

Oh, my God, that'd be gut wrenching, dude.

[Dave Portnoy]

Or I knew you.

[Josh Richards]

That's way worse.

[Dave Portnoy]

At least she's being honest, though, before you guys tie the knot.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess. I guess I would be.

[Dave Portnoy]

That would be crazy. I feel like there's. There's probably so many people that they've, like, hooked up with the brother before, and then they don't like the brother, then they marry the other brother.

[Josh Richards]

So many people. I know it's happening all around the world.

[Dave Portnoy]

I know. Not, like happening at the wedding, but I know a lot of people where the girl used to hook up with, like, the younger brother, and then they stopped, and then, like, years later, they marry the older brother.

[Josh Richards]

Maybe that's just a Boston thing.

[Dave Portnoy]

Maybe that's just a Boston thing. Yeah.

[Josh Richards]

I don't know in the family, really? Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Chat. Do you guys know anyone that's happened to? I feel like Chat might have a couple.

[Josh Richards]

Chad, how about y' all? Oh, that's funny. Titi and Adrian are not real and just reviews. She does not seem happy.

[Dave Portnoy]

I see a lot of people saying this. They were like, really? Yeah. I don't know why. Like, whenever anything is loved so much, they, like, immediately find something to attack. So I feel like everyone loved them and now they're like, they're not real. They hate each other. But I went on the tarte trip with them and they were the, like, cutest, happiest, most lovey cuppy. Lovey cuppy.

[Josh Richards]

Lovey cuppy.

[Dave Portnoy]

They were a lovey cuppy, though. They were lovely. And to what it looked like, they really love each other.

[Josh Richards]

Now I've Went on, like, multiple, like, brand trips with them now. They're great.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, they're great.

[Josh Richards]

They are great. Yeah. Terrible take. Terrible take.

[Dave Portnoy]

Silly, silly, silly take.

[Josh Richards]

All right, Brie. Sports Illustrated launch party.

[Dave Portnoy]

That was a blast. Oh, my gosh, it was so fun.

[Josh Richards]

Hell, yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

Yeah, it was a blast. 50 Cent was performing. We were hanging out with him after, and then we ended up going to. We, like, went out with. I think I might. Might have met my husband. But I didn't answer. I got nervous. So we were supposed to go on a date this week, and he DMed me, and I didn't answer to go on the date. I got nervous. Should I answer?

[Josh Richards]

Maybe. Dude, he's.

[Dave Portnoy]

He's a football player, and he's 6, 7.

[Josh Richards]

It's a big boy.

[Dave Portnoy]

He's so big, and he's so handsome, and he's so sweet.

[Josh Richards]

Well, then give it a go.

[Dave Portnoy]

I know.

[Josh Richards]

We're almost in that June month.

[Dave Portnoy]

I know.

[Josh Richards]

Or was it July? It was June, right?

[Dave Portnoy]

June 21. I will not forget it.

[Josh Richards]

But so you could. You could go on dates and then get the boyfriend by June 21st.

[Dave Portnoy]

True, but I don't know if I want a boyfriend for the summer.

[Josh Richards]

Why? What do you need to be doing in summer?

[Dave Portnoy]

I'm just busy. I'm traveling a lot, and I don't know if I can worry about a boyfriend. Fine, I'll go on the date. I'll DM him back. But maybe. Maybe it's. Maybe it's been too long. We'll see. But it was a blast.

[Josh Richards]

Yeah.

[Dave Portnoy]

And then you went to the wedding. But we kind of are. Josh, this video.

[Josh Richards]

Hilarious, right?

[Dave Portnoy]

Did you. You definitely didn't mean to hit her that hard.

[Josh Richards]

No, it wasn't. It was not even as hard as people think. Also, it was like, I told Gabby what was going on.

[Dave Portnoy]

I know, I know. But it looks like you didn't know the strength of your ass, and you jumped up, and that is the strong booty.

[Josh Richards]

The screen grabbed of Gabby's face is so funny. It's so funny.

[Dave Portnoy]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Richards]

No, she was. She was. She was fine.

[Dave Portnoy]

But I thought you almost knocked her out clean.

[Josh Richards]

No, no, no. I think it was more of just, like, her probably playing into the, like. You know what I mean? Like, head kind of knocking. But it was like we. We had to take multiple attempts because what we were doing is, like, I was going up and I was doing that. Which, by the way, if you ever want to see a true form of athleticism, go watch that video you got. But I got height. When I jumped up the first, like, three times, she kept doing this too early. You know what I mean? Like, she would. She was going like this, like, kind of like. But just before contact. So we were like, okay, like, we gotta time this right? So it, like, looks like it's sending your head to the left. Okay. And then, like, we. We got it probably by, like, the fourth. The fourth attempt.

[Dave Portnoy]

Well, that was incredible. Incredible video. Really made me laugh a lot.

[Josh Richards]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Actually, talking about Gabby, she just texted me a screenshot of the Justin Bieber caption and said, dude, just a congrats, baby would have worked.

[Dave Portnoy]

That's what I'm saying, Gabby. Like, he took away from the moment. Why did he have to fucking say that?

[Josh Richards]

Just a congrats would have worked. Oh, boy.

[Dave Portnoy]

J.B. j. Biebs. Well, yeah, that's it for. We didn't really do much. That was BFF's corner.

[Josh Richards]

Whoo.

[Dave Portnoy]

Whoa. See you. I won't see you. See you on the Zoom next week.

[Josh Richards]

I guess I'll see you on Zoom next week.

[Dave Portnoy]
