Breaking news from the world of Barstool drama: Dave Portnoy, the podcast kingpin who made dissecting Gen Z chaos his side hustle, is officially leaving the BFFs podcast—and he’s taking his dad jokes with him. But don’t worry, Josh Richards and Brianna Chickenfry are staying put to keep the ship afloat.
During the November 13 episode, Dave dropped the news like a boomer trying to explain TikTok:
“People were confused last time. I said I was leaving BFFs. It’s continuing with Bri and Josh, and I think the plan is to, uh, change it up a bit?”
Brianna, never one to shy away from a mic drop, confirmed that a podcast revamp is brewing.
“Yeah, it’s definitely going to be a new pod. A little bit more personal life involved in it.”
Translation: Prepare for a front-row seat to their chaotic lives, featuring potential hangovers, influencer beef, and possibly a deep dive into what actually happens at TikTok parties.
Josh chimed in, clearly jazzed about the glow-up:
“Yeah, definitely a new feel. You’re going to see me and Bri in person a lot more. And maybe some guests too.”
So basically, it’s BFFs 2.0: part therapy session, part celebrity gossip, with a sprinkle of chaos for flavor.
Dave, however, is ready to retire from discussing teenage drama and return to his natural habitat: yelling about pizza reviews and pretending to care about sports.
“I’m getting older—like, nearing 50. Talking about teenage drama is, uh, a little out of my wheelhouse,” he admitted, probably while Googling “TikTok slang 2024” one last time.
The plan? Dave’s exit is set for the end of 2024, so he can leave the Gen Z gossip to the professionals (aka Bri and Josh). As for BFFs, it’s not just surviving—it’s thriving.
Stay tuned, because if anyone can make “personal lives” entertaining, it’s the duo who turned TikTok scandals into a weekly must-listen.
