Special guest, Griffin Johnson, Sway House.
Met him when I met you the original time at the whole house.
You know what's a good sign i'm
starting so i went to like a home run derby thing for charity the other week a lot of people starting
to come up i can always tell what's like starting to make noise because people are coming up saying
they love bffs like a lot of people quickly dude i was i was in um miami and there were like 35-year-old dudes coming up to me,
like 28-year-old guys, like no one in my demographic ever.
And they're like dapsing me up.
First guy came up to me, I thought I was about to get in a fight.
Like that's what I thought was about to happen.
I thought he was coming up, going to talk shit.
Comes up to me, he's like, I love your podcast, BFFs.
Like that shit is amazing.
I'm laughing all the time.
And he like daps me up.
I was like, this is the craziest moment ever.
Yeah, and I'm getting a reverse.. And he'd like, that's what I was like. This is the craziest moment ever. Yeah.
And I'm getting a reverse.
Like I literally,
no joke that we,
so we have a house in Philadelphia that we do like gambling shit.
I had a guy waiting outside the house.
I don't know.
For like four hours. I walked out.
He's like,
Hey,
my daughter's in the car.
Will you FaceTime Josh Richards?
It's like,
uh,
no dude,
I won't.
It was,
it was,
it was fucking crazy.
So it's good. The pressure's on to keep it going I won't. It was fucking crazy. So it's good.
The pressure's on to keep it going.
Last week, it went crazy viral because we had Alex from Call Her Daddy,
and she just trashed half the people.
I wouldn't say Griffin's on.
Griffin really didn't, in the scheme of getting trashed, didn't,
because he was just like, oh, he slid into my DMs.
Now, Alex works for me.
I'm almost afraid of Alex, so I got to keep her on my good side.
Like, Gruen is like, let's get Noah Syndergaard on, her ex-boyfriend.
Oh, yeah.
Noah Syndergaard, by the way, also.
I won't say I dated a girl.
There's like in Barstool Lure, there's like.
So I was married when I ended it.
The first girl I kind of started seeing, I haven't like dated or seen many girls.
But the first one that I did, and there's a long story.
She cheated on me with her SoulCycle instructor.
And I introduced her to Noah Syndergaard, who probably like fucked her.
So there's all sorts of like history with me and Noah Syndergaard.
That's messed up.
All the way around.
So you probably have it out for SoulCyclers.
Dude.
We shut down SoulCycle.
Like SoulCycle had to shut down their social media.
This is probably like five, six years.
I don't even know.
It was a while ago.
But the barstool people, stoolies went nuts.
Like any time.
So I told the whole story.
I told the whole story. I went whole story i went on radio i'm like
yeah this girl fucked her soul cycle instructor dude so anytime somebody was on soul cycle
they'd be like hey come come get 20 off and have a great day at soul cycle the first 100 comments
would be like uh do you get the fuck your soul cycle instructor with that to the point they just
had to shut down they shut down the entire thing and they were like under instructions if they saw somebody from like barstool to call like 9-1-1
it was a big fucking deal so long story short noah syndicard's fucking that girl and also dated
alex so all the way around i doubt he's going to be gone on but i guess they're on alex's good side
you texted me josh you're like
low-key some people are pretty fucking mad about what she said oh yeah dude no no the tension that
was in this house the day the podcast came out was crazy like i mean i'm not gonna lie the boys
they were they were hurt dude some of the boys got yeah their feelings uh no it
wasn't it wasn't kind of like wow like like fuck her it was like they were actually we are gonna
do everything it ruined their day bro like she was rent free up here why like that i said to you
like and me and josh were like oh we're gonna push these clips out it's going viral it's good
it's good for the podcast fuck you what why were they mad like to me
the only thing that alex did that i thought was weird she's like i don't know any of these guys
at all and then she like had backstories for all of them basically for every single one of them
yeah that that was the only thing because she's like nope i don't know any then we put your
picture up first gravis like oh slid in my dms oh the girlfriend's talking to me oh fake relationship so she knew them all dude she was going back back back she and out jake facts
she definitely she definitely watches us for sure i mean i think she i think she watches griff i
think griff wants her to watch dude i'm not even mad like hit me up alex quit playing with me
answer my dms i know you're gonna watch And how old? I don't even know.
It is crazy.
I saw some, like, at first, I think I saw Bryce respond.
Somebody, no, Blake.
He's like, you 30-year-old, like, washed up.
I have the tweet somewhere.
Midlife crisis.
Dude, they look soft.
I'm not going to lie.
I looked a little soft.
And honestly, for what?
She was just like, oh, he's young.
Too many muscles.
Like, he kind of looks like not bad, like insults, right?
It's like if I got told I had too many muscles, I'm probably not waking up in the morning like shit in my pants or upset.
Blake Ray, why is some 30 year old who's going through a midlife crisis trying to feel young again by sexualizing me
and tweeting about my 19 year old relationship yo that's the softest fucking tweet like of all
time dude you dance around without your shirt and like fucking muscles and then you're like
why is this girl sexually that sounded like a little pouty i met it when i met you guys
that was surprising to me like why didn't he just
laugh it off i love the boys man but it was definitely an emotional day i think sometimes
it just hit some different you know maybe they didn't get the workout in the same that morning
maybe they didn't get the muscle milk in you know it throws off their whole day and then when one
thing goes wrong like you know alex coming out and just pointing out they look like sid the sloth or
one of the other things.
Yeah, the Sid the Sloth was a little, it was a little Ruthless, bro.
She went a little in on Bryce for sure. But again, like Bryce is dating like Addison Rae, who even I before I knew that knew who it is.
She's like a gorgeous girl.
Like, why do you fucking care?
You're like a celebrity.
So someone said you look like fucking doing fucking ice from pretty good.
Sid from ice age.
Who fucking cares?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
I think Griff played at the best cause he was shooting out memes,
like tweeting back at Alex,
like telling him to answer.
I was trying to game bro.
Like I was trying to game,
but to say that we have a whole different thing and you are,
you were deleting tick tocks, Griffin, not in this thing, but you got into a fight with somebody thing and you are you are deleting tiktoks griffin not in this thing
but you got into a fight with somebody else and you went soft so what the fuck is going on because
you had this whole thing that i see that you're like dude who are you going back and forth with
and you deleted shit bro hear me out i was just trying to defend bryson addison because i was
tired of seeing this girl just post the same shit over and over and over.
It was just annoying.
Like, I wasn't mad.
I wasn't upset.
I was just annoyed.
And then, like, after I made my point, I knew if I deleted the video, it would go viral.
In the sense of, like, TikTok or whatever.
Yeah, and all of that.
So I was like, I already made my message.
So you're saying you're a super genius. I didn't want already made my message so you're saying you're super on my page you're you're saying you're super like you intentionally deleted it to be
like oh he doesn't want to be seen so it'll be seen yeah that's exactly what i did i was like
i i delete josh i know you know him better than me is he a super genius that he's saying right
now he's saying like he's a super genius griff that is some super genius no it's not it's it's
like the same it's like a meta dude you can do it every single time, except we were all just messing up.
Because if you leave it up, then they can do edit back and then whatever.
It was kind of like I sent my message, I deleted it,
so she couldn't respond to my direct video,
which was going to make her less likely to keep responding.
But that's not what you just said the opposite.
Originally, you're like, I deleted it to throw like the bait in the ocean.
Be like, this thing's going to go viral.
But now you said you wanted it to end.
Well, it's like I wanted it to end as far as like the duets back and forth.
But like I knew if I did that, then it would like make everyone be like, oh, he deleted it.
Oh, and like it was like whatever.
And then I knew that if I mean, it is true.
It does go a little more viral when you delete things.
Yeah, because people think you care.
Yeah, Bryce and I were dancing, doing a TikTok dance.
We had stripper poles at the house, right?
So, like, we were standing on the stage with the stripper poles in the background.
We thought it'd be kind of funny.
And I deleted it because his mom was coming.
So, his mom couldn't see it until she got here yet.
And then it started getting posted on shade rooms.
People were like, oh, why are they deleting it?
Are they like wrecking their relationships?
Like what's going on?
Like dude,
we're freaking out.
If you want to get people like talking about just post something and delete it.
Cause if you delete it,
they instantly think it's bad.
And it instantly is like,
they think you can.
I agree with that philosophy.
I never delete anything because I think people will,
what you say,
I guess I fall into the trap.
They don't want it. Speaking of, I didn't know when we're going to play. Can we put it? I saw this video. I'm people, what you say, I guess I fall into the trap. They don't want it.
Speaking of, I didn't know when we were going to play.
Can we put it?
I saw this video.
I'm sure you saw it, Josh.
I laughed out loud.
Someone's trying to come at you.
And they did come at you.
But this video is fucking hilarious.
Dude.
I haven't seen this.
This is so good.
Here's a PSA to all you little bitches out there.
My mama don't like me.
She likes everyone.
And I've never liked anyone
that I would know.
Nothing so far.
I mean, that.
Josh is over here.
He's like.
People tag me in it.
They're like,
why does he act so hard?
And I saw it
and you're just crooning
the little Bieber.
Okay, let's be for real, though.
That singing absolutely fucked.
You know how many girls in elementary school I got the next day
when I went to school after posting that video?
Yeah, yeah.
I hope you guys all know that.
Every single girl was in my Snapchat, in my kick messenger, like,
bro, you can sing?
And I was like, yeah.
You were definitely like a freshman in high school.
Don't lie.
No way.
I think I would have been in eighth grade.
All I know.
Have you seen that, Griffin?
Have you seen that?
Yeah, I saw that exact video.
And he's still friends with you.
Oh, so have you seen that?
Already.
I knew that video was out on the internet.
Fuck.
Dude, this guy.
It was like so long ago.
I was with a manager and he pretty much like tell me what I could and could not post.
Like he approved every single one of my videos. And I was like young was with a manager, and he pretty much, like, tell me what I could and could not post. Like, he approved every single one of my videos,
and I was, like, young, signing to a manager,
so I thought that's what I needed to do to be successful.
So, like, it was all clean content.
I couldn't be myself.
He was like, you're going to be an actor and a singer.
So he made me post, like, a singing video like that.
Made you post it, huh?
And, well, I remember, like, obviously,
I'm the one that clicked the button at the end of the day.
I wish we could pull up a picture of when i met this kid bro his merch like he was the softest kid i had ever seen in my life
like he had merch with a teddy bear on it i'm like that is that's not even fucking true i actually
don't i just wore a shirt that had a teddy bear josh richardson teddy bear oh it would probably
fly it was like this teddy bear hoodie bro that's That's, that's. Let me put it this way. I saw guys running up to me being like, hey, can you FaceTime Josh Ritter?
It's like young girls running up being like, hey, old man, can you fucking text Josh Ritter?
Bro, he's been, he has been dogging out on this podcast, though.
I'm not going to lie.
Dogging out?
Like, with who?
Not like with girls.
Oh, okay.
Like with the barstool fans and shit.
I see them.
Yeah.
Yo, Josh is pretty cool, man. I like with that with the barstool fans and shit i see them yeah yo josh
is pretty cool man i remember we sat and with the pocket i don't want to lose track of that and by
the way you were very honest when we first met you're like yeah people were like bullying me in
high school because i was on musicals oh that's rude and then i saw the video it's like yeah no
shit you were getting bullied like you're posting like acapella Bieber shit you're gonna live in
the inside of a locker but But remember what I said.
It's like, if I wasn't the kid doing it, I would have probably bullied that kid, too.
You know what I mean?
Like, also, I think, you know, probably good friends bullying me.
Like, if my friends didn't believe me.
They're looking out for you, bro.
Yeah, they just weren't looking out for me.
That's why this podcast works.

NoDaysWasted.co slash BFF bff okay let's get back into it we were talking about before because the barstool myself that's how i talk my friends
like we don't say nice shit to each other everything's kind of just busting balls and
in the sway house that's why when the alex stuff broke i was surprised i'm glad he came on but he
was almost no offense the last one of the group because I knew he wasn't bothered by it.
Like, the guys, it's like, all right, I've met Bryce.
I think he's a nice dude.
He did not strike me as somebody who was going to be mad about that and really get upset for sitting.
Noah Beck was quiet.
And Noah Beck and your ex-girlfriend, which is a whole new thing we got to touch a little bit she did the like in bed with
noah thing being like oh we're not real unreal by what's that that was an unreal response awesome
best response you could have dude yeah that was crazy not gonna so all right did that relationship
and i said this when i met you the first time, Griffin, when it was explained to me like, oh, you used to date not Charlie Dixie.
And now Noah does.
And you guys are standing next to each other.
I'm like, that's fucking weird.
And both of you guys like, no, it's not.
That gives what Alex said to me.
Truthfully, it would be like, oh, that can't be real.
Like, I don't want one of my good friends dating my ex-girlfriend.
But you say you have no problem with it. like you know the show friends yeah and they all date
each other yeah well i mean whenever it first happened uh we definitely had like a weird
tension and like i was pissed um not really like for the fact that it was like i was pissed about
the situation as much as like he didn't tell me like it was like i knew and i was waiting for him to say something but he never did um we kind of talked about that it was it was dude it was
definitely like there was some tension it was a little it was messed up bro like yeah so now
it was just not a guy like again i don't know you guys well enough my vibe actually watching
dixie is like i i would expect her to come on this podcast and sling it.
Like that response is like, okay, yeah, let's have fun with it.
Noah seems like somebody who wouldn't.
Like he was super quiet when I was out there.
Am I right about that?
Yeah, no.
Noah's definitely more of like a shy introvert type of kid.
Like he's really more about like peace and happiness.
He's never going to fight back.
Like even when all the boys are roasting each other back and forth or shitting on each other, he kind of is more of the quiet one.
He just doesn't get into that stuff.
That's just not how he is.
But I love him.
That's just not how he is.
Yeah, Dixie's a lot more outspoken.
She also is not afraid to roast someone.
Trust me, I know.
Oh, I know.
Put them up.
Put them up right now.
I mean, you knew these were coming, right? When we had you on.
Dude.
What do you think?
He has to know what it's about.
Screenshots or some shit.
Maybe it's me singing again.
So she posted.
So you guys broke up because you're sliding everyone's DMs, right?
See, the thing is with this is some of these were real.
Some of them weren't.
That's the problem
like like it was like 50 50 almost but she posted them all right yeah you dude she posted all right
let's go through what's real and what's not we got can you see the screen this is the game hey
Dave this weekend real or not on Griffin's definitely real to me I would vote all real
because why would she post fake, fake ones?
So listen to me though.
This is the only thing that's a little weird is,
is like,
and it's messed up.
This girl is from her hometown.
Like,
so it's almost kind of like,
it was like a,
like a weird plan thing.
It wasn't like,
I obviously like fucked up,
um,
by Snapchatting a girl,
like for sure.
Like it was a little curated.
I'm not going to lie.
So, wait, curated.
And, again, so you Snapchatted somebody from Dixie's hometown.
Yeah, like, I didn't know.
You didn't even do the research, eh?
Well, I.
No background, no, like, oh, same town, same school.
Because it wasn't that deep to me.
It wasn't like she lived in L.A.
and I was, like, trying to, like, meet up with her and stuff.
It was, like, a weird thing because me and Dixie had broken up for, like,
it was, like, a four- or five-day period.
We had broken up, and I'm not going to lie, dude.
I was just kind of sad.
Like, I was just, like, you know.
Let's be honest.
If you're sliding into one girl's DMs, you're sliding into way more.
I mean.
Like 7,000.
It wasn't me.
We got to rifle them off.
It wasn't me sliding in.
It was, like, me answering DMs me sliding in it was like me answering dms
because i knew it was girls that wanted to talk to me yeah that's fair i mean and everyone does
that it's like that that's the world and i've had that exact statement obviously not for you
but being like well yeah it's nothing like if someone slides in dm and i'm just sitting there
bored and i reply that doesn't count i don't have a relationship so let's go through these just wifey so who posted these um like she did these were all the girl was sending them to her got it so like
Dixie's the only one so what you're saying is the girl then some of them that she sent to Dixie were
fake um like the the snapchat itself like some of them were like pictures because I send a lot of
like pictures just my face and people be like why don't you ever talk um so, some of them were, like, pictures. Because I send a lot of, like, pictures just to my face,
and people would be like, why don't you ever talk?
So a few of them, like, it wasn't, like, all of them,
but, like, there was definitely a few of them that were, like.
Okay, so just wifey shit.
Out of it.
Real?
Was that real or not?
That's real.
Okay.
Nice.
One for one here.
But, like, that's not, like, that sounds like I'm trying to, like, wife this girl.
Like, that's just shit that i say like
just wifey shit like if a girl does something it's like damn that's hard yeah okay like i like
girls who can skateboard it intimidates me i'd be like oh that's wifey shit i love i love bad
bitches they're hard to find i hate pussies that's real okay i would definitely say that like i don't
remember saying those words exactly but that dude that's such a like where did that come up in your conversation i love that what were the words again dave go back to that
shit i love bad bitches they're hard to find i hate pussies actually i don't even know i i might
have sent that like that's definitely something i feel like i would say so i'm not gonna say it's
not true why did she blur out her text though we need to know what the yeah dude that's what i'm
saying like this girl is taking it out of context bro i swear you were set up telling you right now
there's the same thing and she's sending it you were set up she was probably being like i don't
care that you fucking talk to dixie i'll fuck you i mean and then you're like playing right along i
love bad bitches i mean come on i can figure it out to find um dude but but that's part of the
game i mean i've been with plenty of athletes who have like fake accounts just because they
don't want to get, you know, blown up with this.
I'm about to act up if you don't chill.
I don't know what that means.
That's a, that's a little weird.
Um, I don't remember on that one.
I'm not going to lie.
That is a little weird.
Like, uh, like I, I think this one was actually like a picture of just like what you say to someone after they send you like
a hot photo or like yeah like like i don't remember but i don't think i think that was a
picture from my story actually because i remember it's been like what four months so you're saying
that's a fake text on that one yeah i don't know for sure but like that one is like definitely
i i'm gonna be honest these all have to be real because none of them stick out, like, wildly.
And, like, why would she?
She already has you dead to rights.
So why would she start making shit up?
Also, some of these are a little bit weird.
Like, the apology ones.
That's the ones.
Send toes.
I definitely sent that one.
That's, like, a funny joke for me.
And, like, it's been ongoing.
But it just went crazy, dude.
That's like a funny joke for me.
And like, it's, it's been ongoing, but it just went crazy, dude. Like, obviously if there's like, if I could get a picture of an ass or a picture of a
toe, like, let's be honest.
And then the apology one went too.
So where are you?
Like, when, what was the timeframe of this?
When did this all go down?
Um, this actually, those were just a couple of screenshots.
There's like way more, like, there's like a whole like deck of them and like a bunch of the other ones those are like the actual like believable
ones the other ones were just like stupid shit like that didn't even make sense when did it go
down like when were you dating this was like um like when did we break up it was like july the
end of july and then how fast after was she dating noah um publicly or behind the scenes
behind the scenes um probably like a month later and what
is the theory and again I could be wrong on this well the vibe I got like in the house is that Noah
Noah is right now like he's the hottest guy and I don't mean like oh my god looking like he's
blowing up like he he's as you would say the hype guy is that true 100 no it's killing so is there
an element is that why alex is like fake because like okay that could be it too because like noah
came in here became like this blow up on social media had like the hype like almost charlie did
when she first started blowing up and then you go and look who he's dating it's like the biggest
social media girl too who's also the girl that had the hype, the D'Amelio.
So I get how she could say that.
It's not fucking true.
Like, they're dating.
They're with each other all the time.
We want to hang out with Noah more.
We're like, Noah, come to the fucking house, dude.
Stop hanging out with Dixie all the time.
Like, we know that shit's real.
But, yeah, I get how she could totally think it's fake.
Yeah, I mean, dude, I respect Dixie.
She toasted me in that situation. Not going to lie. I could have handled it's fake yeah i mean i dude i respect uh i respect dixie she
she toasted me in that situation not gonna lie i could have handled it like way better
just as like defending myself even got toasted roasted boom and i'm like i'm happy for him now
i'm over it uh i just wish that like i've been all my social media is still like cheater cheater
cheater cheater cheater it's like if the actual real story there was like a
bunch of weird shit going on that never got out well all right well and we need clips for this
show to like get it going you do know like we need like the viral clips right i mean like you
see on tiktok like you know those ones we need some of those like i'm gonna be honest i respect
dixie like if she ever needed anything i would be the first one there. Same for Noah. I'm happy for them now.
But I'm just going to be straight up.
There was a lot of weird shit going on between them the entire time.
Between those two.
So what you're saying is you're getting labeled like the cheater and the sliding in,
but you sensed that they had something going on while you were still doing it.
You're like, fuck this.
I'm going to go do my own thing.
Yeah, and I'm not saying this because I'm mad or I'm trying to throw them under the bus like it's been months now like this shit's over with like i don't care and neither do they
like they moved on or whatever but since you asked me like it was weird dude they had this best
friends group and they were going on trips to mal like whatever malibu or whatever they were do at
night it was like weird stuff like i thought about it and it was like,
this is weird.
But like,
I wasn't,
I didn't like,
I'm not a weird,
like a weird boyfriend.
I'm not going to be like,
no,
you can't go to like,
it's like weird.
And this is the old guy coming in.
Dave here.
I'm going to,
I'm going to give you very,
very honest advice.
If you're dating a girl and she's going on BFF trips to Malibu at night,
your girl's fucking somebody else.
Like, that's just.
Dude.
Yo, that's a fact.
Unless Noah isn't straight, which he clearly is because they're dating,
they were fucking.
I mean, you don't go.
You don't do that.
Dude, I don't know about that.
Do you see what you made Dave do?
Like, you brought this up.
Now Dave's going to capitalize on it.
He's going to say people were fucking.
Now we're going to do a clip on TikTok.
Did you just hear what he said?
Did you know that was going on?
Was anyone, like, elbowing you?
Be like, what's up with this?
Nah, dude.
Date under the fucking moonlight to Malibu.
Like, they're both super cute people.
That's a no-go.
That's a no-go. The moral of the story story is here I did my fair share of wrongs I I never like it wasn't like it was a physical thing
like I should have never messaged the girl at all yeah not gonna lie but like it was like during a
weird breakup like I was just messed up in the head at the time like I was like emotionally just
like I was going through my dm just to find girls that would like talk to me and shit. And is that it was hard when I went out there.
And again, I'm not I think a lot of people just get the wrong impression.
Like if you come on, like I think somebody who said they thought we were going to ambush them back like Noah.
We asked to get him on.
He thought being ambushed like, yeah, I don't feel like we ambush anybody.
We're asking like normal, straightforward questions.
No, I think I think I think we ask normal questions, Dave.
I think we're also good at being shit disturbers.
You know what I mean?
That's why we work well.
So we kind of stir that shit.
He's in there like, what?
We stir that shit a little bit.
When you talk, for example, you let people get away with not necessarily answering the question.
We'll say it, but we don't get the
info here like well you didn't answer that like i'm waiting so when i went to the house i was
gonna say because i don't mean this to be disrespectful but i was getting the breakdown
all right noah's going way up and the thing that i got on griffin was like his star is going down
was that because the the de mello shit that everyone's like oh you cheated is that what
caused the issue uh for for what like he's like like oh, you cheated? Is that what caused the issue? For what?
He's talking like the relevancy.
Like Noah was the hype guy, and then he said like when he came here.
Oh, no, that was kind of like already going on.
He was kind of doing it on his own.
What happened?
A little bit, and then we just accelerated it with Sway.
Like whenever Noah came in, he was like starting to go off,
and then Sway, he just got out of the group.
But when were you at your peak of, like, popularity?
Last summer, for sure.
Like, when Dixie and I had just started dating.
Because we had talked for, like, months.
Like, four months or so.
Five months.
And then we dated.
And it was, like, a month.
And then, like, shit just went crazy.
And then people started turning on you, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, like, dude, they still, like, people, you know, comment today.
And that's the only defense, like, that's the only thing they can attack me for.
Because, like, not, like, I've never done anything, like, any of the racist shit or, like, anything crazy like that.
Nothing homophobic.
Yeah, disrespectful.
Like, the only thing they have against me is they'll be like, cheater.
It's like, do you understand first off like yeah like cheating
cheating is messed up like for sure it messes with people but like 100 it was a snapchat first
off like it wasn't like i was going out i'm not trying to discredit it but like it's not like i
was going out and like banging a bunch of girls and like going crazy here's the thing first of
all i don't believe that second of all like you guys are like young good looking guys with huge fucking
like social media followings if you're actually dating somebody you almost can't be on social
media because there's so much temptation out there and you with both your world you have to be it's
like it is messed up dude i just like putting a fat guy on a diet in a bakery how you how are
you doing that you know what i'm saying that's like putting a fat guy on a diet in a bakery. How are you doing that?
You know what I'm saying?
That's like a really weird analogy.
He's mucking.
He is mucking.
You know what I mean?
Just like if you put a guy that can't get with any girls, you know, the testosterone built up.
It's been a few months maybe.
Maybe you're not in a good place with the girl.
And then you go to your DMC.
Do you hear this shit?
He is right.
Listen, and again, it's apples and oranges.
But I can't even tell.
Honestly, I was doing a pizza review at Villanova, and two groups of sorority girls screeched over and pulled, and all they said was your name, Josh. So being in that world, if you're in, it's difficult.
It's very, very fucking difficult.
If you're on social media and all these pretty girls are like, hey, we meet and you have a girlfriend it's a fucking tough game that's why i don't
believe everything you're saying about oh i slid into one girl's dms and got caught are you kidding
me like i i say are you saying if you're in this game you're in griff's position right you have a
d'amelio or d'amayo as you like to call them and then you know maybe it's not in the best place
are you are you going in the DMs?
Are you lurking in that?
But what makes it difficult for you guys, I would think,
and this is like combining business and like private life and social life,
it's all fucking entangled with you guys.
Like you were saying, dating a DeMello, that like is good for your career,
basically, and kind of vice versa.
But it can turn on you you know
that is a delicate balance the same with you and nessa yeah honest i just want to be clear though
whenever dixie and i first started talking like she was like right at the same size as me if not
a little smaller yeah that's true because they hadn't gotten like the demelios haven't hadn't
blown up at that point and uh we came off of a tour.
We were still, like, started as the Sway Boys.
So we had that. We were definitely way more relevant at the time.
And then they fucking just shit on all of us.
And now are bigger than every single one of us.
Yeah, they're monsters.
Yeah, no.
Dude, I respect them.
Stars.
I respect them.
They run a tight ship.
They're strategic.
Like, if they ever need anything, I don't want to get the wrong image with what i was saying earlier like if they ever needed anything they could still call me
today and i'd i'd be the first one like to help yeah and part part of it also that i get from it
and being obviously older not to keep being you guys are so young so like they're young relationships
that are going to change and things i i won't think you would hold a grudge it's like things
go down you know yeah down before you move on.
Yeah, dude, no way.
It's definitely been bad, though, like been weird.
Like there's still no friendship there at all, like not even a little bit.
With Dixie.
Yeah, but partially it's because I made a fucking diss track on him.
Yeah, well, all right.
Yeah.
What's the deal with the diss track?
Dude, I haven't heard the diss track, so I'm going to hear it right now.
Oh, my God.
Not about a girl, but let's hear the diss track.
You have?
I thought it got taken down.
No, no, no.
It's almost as good as my Justin Bieber single that I did.
Nah.
It's almost as good as that.
Dude, I couldn't speak without getting destroyed, bro.
I just kept getting destroyed on the internet.
Yo, I can't, bro.
Convenient.
Are you serious, dude?
You're really about to do this?
I'm not here to say I'm sorry.
I'm not even gonna ask.
The lyric video
is what just sets it off, bro.
I don't know.
Oh, fuck no.
Yeah.
No, you gotta wait, Daveave you gotta wait for one line
oh yeah just wait no my heart's in the comments uh you can say my heart is but you don't know
what a heart is you don't think i know uh dude that shit's so funny Dude what is that line
You don't think I know
Like Noah Beck
Do you get that shit
Dude the Noah one is like
Alright
I get the point
You know who I'm mad at
I'm mad at you Josh
You're mad at me
You guys are friends
For letting me post it bro Yeah me and griffin did you see
this before we released it i didn't tell anyone really i don't think you really yeah he kind of
just came out with what's going on you want me to be honest bro nothing i'm telling you that
that it has to be i just watched fucking nothing on what dude 45 whenever i did that you got to
put this into context right i had millions of people telling me to kill myself, whatever.
I know I can act hard.
It's like, yeah, dude, I'm a sway boy.
It doesn't affect me.
But everything I put up, my DMs, everything, it was just hate.
Thousands.
I was getting 100,000 comments per video on TikTok of just hate.
Boom, boom, boom, hate like boom boom boom boom
boom yeah he had never gotten that many comments in his life comment comment i didn't even fans
don't boo no yeah no i know nobody wants that i still don't know how you go from it was in my head
bro putting out what may be the worst thing i've ever seen in my life right there
dude who knew i just somebody had to make it somebody you either she either like sabotaged you and had other people working with you,
being like, tell them it's good, tell them it's good, tell them it's good.
Who fucking let you put that out?
Yeah, dude.
Dude, I'm not going to lie.
You know 303?
What's 303?
No.
Like black dress with the tights underneath.
Still don't know.
Okay, whatever.
That's who I made it with.
I thought it was cool.
Didn't end up i mean you did
it in what four hours yeah no the whole song was like in four hours not gonna lie it was more like
it was in my head it was like i know that i messed like like all of this up already like
the whole situation i i played it all wrong and i thought i was being smart but like i was
like maneuvering off my emotions, dude.
And I just made myself look like a clown, dude.
I got destroyed.
For about two and a half months, he was the most hated man.
When did you know, like, oh, fuck, this is the lamest thing that's ever been put out on the internet?
Probably like the next morning when I woke up.
Right.
But I'm not going to lie.
I will say this.
This song is catchy, dude.
Well.
If you actually understand it, it's pretty catchy.
First of all, you're auto-tuned.
I will give it that.
If you're doing a diss track, you have to go fucking play mine.
This is kind of like a fake one, but we got in a fight with a blogger, right?
It's a long story.
So I made one.
And I can't rap.
I can't sing.
But yours sounds like it should be on like american
idol or like some soft like kids ball you need a well shit so you think it's good you need a beat
all right this is you and my lyrics were like no joke no no guys ghostwriter though or did you have
a ghostwriter.
See the difference in the anger?
Yeah, you see the emotion behind that grip?
Like a geek.
That's my favorite one.
All right, we can cut that.
See the difference in the face?
You said, he just said, you skinny, fat fuck.
You skinny, fat fuck.
What's that even mean?
How can you be skinny and a fat fuck?
Because he's like skinny, but his body makes you like throw up.
He's like another blogger.
I know exactly what you mean.
I know exactly what you mean i know exactly what's like
a bag of milk it's like gross yeah yeah like canadian milk it comes in bags that's just like
all like the top it gets a little smaller you know what's bottom you know what's crazy though
this this podcast is so like watered down from what like it would like if you were to talk normal
like actually like you know just chilling with the boys like whatever and it's crazy to me how things just keep getting softer and softer and softer you think
this shit's soft did you not know the song wait you think this podcast is soft no i think it's
watered down compared to like if you were actually sitting like and this is like pretty out there
compared to most shit like this is like on i think we call i can't be more i'm stunned he
said that it's like i i can't be more saying exactly how i dude you you kind of you kind of
have to watch what you say though in in a way well you maybe you are i'm not talking to me neither
you say whatever you want what what haven't you said that you want to say uh i can't think of the
top dude never mind all right whatever griff's
good i don't know i'm not scared i don't want to i don't want to hurt any no i want it i want
egos hurt like say what you're gonna say you're the i'm saying so you're telling me you would say
anything that you would say in in an open room that's been like the number one complaint people
have of me it's like he fucking says whatever he's thinking.
I would say anything.
No, but it's what people love too.
It's what people love.
Because on my TikTok, they started saying like I love that Josh is collabing with Dave because he's one of the only people on the internet that's left with like the full authenticity preaching the truth like he doesn't give a fuck.
And like people appreciate now granted if you're in a situation where you're actually friends with somebody i'm not gonna
say something that i think like will truly make them feel bad but for the most part everyone knows
how i feel about everything like i'm telling you if i thought noah fucked my girlfriend i would be
like i don't like you dude you fucked my girlfriend when i was dating her i don't i don't know i don't
think that happened i'm'm not going to lie.
But it was like, dude, here's what I'll say.
This is for your views.
This is for your views.
I don't think anything happened.
I just think that the full story, it was all pinned on me.
And it still is and has been.
People say get over it.
And it's been four months.
But that's still all I get.
Paparazzi comes up to me. That's what ask me you know i get on a podcast that's what
they ask me i can't get away from it so i might as well i've been scared to face it not gonna lie
sound like a bitch but like dude i i can't win against the domelios are you kidding me no well
like they can take out the whole sway house like whoa it's true it's true okay that's a little shame i'll give them they got some
fucking power they could probably chop my head off if they want i'm talking about on social media
like on social media like if they want to blast our entire comment section and just like okay so
so i think the thing is though griff like for example like if charlie and dixie tried to
fucking cancel dave nothing's happening to you, right, Dave? Right. At the end of the day, you keep your fans.
You have Barstool fans.
It's a total different fan base.
The D'Amelios still do have a little bit of a different fan base than us.
I think we would lose a good amount.
I get what you're saying.
Younger kids.
You know what I mean.
You know what I mean.
Shit like Barstool.
Everyone on this podcast doesn't give a fuck.
If that watches this, they would not give a shit.
And by the way, I'm going strictly on i charlie
was in our office right when she's blowing up that's almost i didn't even know what tiktok was
when she was in there like some girl who's super popular is in the office i was like who is i don't
know but just judging i think i get along with dixie i think she seems like a cool funny girl
no she's dope no yeah that's the thing thing about her is she doesn't just sit there
and, like, laugh when someone says a joke or, like, roast her.
She will fucking attack you.
Like, she's coming back at you, and it's like, oh, shit.
No, she's cool, dude.
It's dope.
Like, she's definitely dope.
I feel like Noah probably gets bullied by her.
Like, I'm feeling Dixie's wearing the pants.
That's the vibe I get.
I want one of them on the podcast.
I don't know if we'll ever get it. I kind of i don't know how well you know them we can ask i will say
we made a switch i don't know if you saw this josh probably not you got so much so the people
running our social media for like bff's pod were the most cringy fucking like anytime they respond
to somebody i want to throw up i had to make a change here yeah me too i was like who no i was looking at that and it's like oh my god thank you so much i was like the
fuck am i looking at like is my 11 year old brother running the bfs account or what exactly
i literally banned the and by the way he looks like somebody would throw somebody in a unmarked
van i was like who the fuck i called up i'm, who the fuck is running the BFFs social media?
Because I throw up every time it responds because we're not doing it.
And we've made a change on that.
But they were talking directly to fucking Dixie.
And I was like, what the fuck is going on?
She already said no.
And then that's getting thrown on our desk.
Oh, shit.
On TikTok.
Yes, bro. Whoever is doing that, you are a goon. Oh, shit. On TikTok. Yes, bro.
Whoever is doing that, you are a goon.
You are a goon.
Literally, they look like a goof.
The worst.
The worst.
It almost set back my entire life.
Trust me.
Heads rolled here.
The first thing I came back, and I fucking lit people on fire.
I'm like, what the fuck are we doing here?
We got the latest dude of all
time replying to everything it was horrible dude speaking of i got a funny story for you so like
you know how you have like all of those weird like barstool arkansas yeah yeah yeah like for
every school so they made this like my school indiana state like larry burke whatever it's
whatever like i'm not lie, not that lit.
So, whenever they had a barstool page for it, I was like, this is a joke because, like, 10,000 people could follow it.
But, like, I got into it with them because they kept using me basically for views on the thing.
Like, it was just me, me, me, me.
Is this when you were starting to do TikTok?
No, this was, like, in the summer, dude.
Oh.
Like, right, like, this is, like in the summer dude like oh like right like
this is like august area so maybe like three months ago four months ago right but like i
started shitting and like on them and all these barstools like barstool florida barstool this like
there was like 30 accounts are like we are gonna report you we're gonna get you sued like because
i i outed the girls that were running the page, basically. I hate fucking wearing that because we get that all the time.
So you're describing, we call it like our vice.
It's basically our intern program.
Viceroy is the way you call it, like you report to the king.
It's good for us because we have them across every.
So like what you said, Indiana State.
Right.
It's cool.
If you have 10,000 people, you may have 100,000 at University of Florida.
You add them up and it's millions.
But the thing that we deal with makes sense.
They change every year.
We don't always know who they are.
So we'll get someone like, oh, this fucking kid sucks or he's doing something.
It's hard to control it.
But it is.
They really thought that's not unusual of what you're saying.
Yeah, they really thought which is on our fucking name.
Were you going to be like, Josh is the one doing it? I thought I thought you were the one setting that up. yeah they really thought which is on our fucking name were you gonna say something were you gonna
be like josh is the one i thought i thought you were the one setting that up i thought it was
your people so i was like yo i just won't say anything dave wants it to be like some little
like seven-year-old running it i get it i get it that is the funniest shit you need to work on who
runs your stuff because when she said that she was like take it down now or we're going to get you sued from Barstool.
Which is bananas to say that.
And we are always on the reverse.
But that's part of it.
And we're pretty good.
We have good social people.
Who was running the BFFs was not.
And trust me, I started and I was mortified.
I was mortified.
Yeah.
So that's been fixed.
I think we hit most of the one last
question i had he and we could definitely get him on we got to get a list of people on whether it
be tiktok world anything but do you guys see jake paul went like crazy viral yesterday because he
said yeah he basically invented creator houses and boxing so i'm curious for you guys i've i've
met with him i know lo Logan now better than Jake.
But you guys probably grew up on them, right?
A little bit?
Yeah, a little bit.
Yeah.
So, I mean, Jake, 100%.
Like, I'm giving him credit where credit's due.
Kid's a fucking, like, workhorse.
He grinds it out.
Especially back in the Team 10 days.
He wasn't the first house.
There was another creator house. It was called the first house. There was another creator house.
It was called O2L, and it was just before him.
It was a YouTube content house,
but Jake brought the mainstream press to the house.
I don't know what the fuck that is.
No one gave a fuck about the houses before,
and then Jake did it, and people started giving a fuck.
And then, I mean, you can go into boxing and say he started it.
I think it was KSI and Joe Weller. But he, I mean, blew it up.
The Paul brothers blew up the boxing scene for sure.
So what is your take on them?
I think they're genius and they work hard.
Are they still hot or still cool?
I think that they're respected more.
Logan has made a comeback that I think is incredible.
I think he worked really, really hard to do that.
He was obviously in a spot that was like he was fucked, right?
Like coming out of the suicide forest thing.
You're not fucking going much.
You're not doing much after that.
That's crazy, dude.
He did.
He did.
He figured it out.
And then Jake is like, I think Jake is just figuring, I don't know what he really wants to do right now.
Yeah, I think he's a little bit lost.
I mean, obviously everything.
I'm sure he has a plan. Like I'm sure he has a plan if it's we just can't rap shit or
if it's his boxing or if it's his social media because he seems to always have a plan that guy
um i just don't know what it is right dude i i have nothing but respect for them dude they're
they grind like you can't take it away from that's the one thing you got to respect about
them is like their fucking work ethic like posting a vlog every single day for over a year is ridiculous.
Like insane.
I don't care.
I struggle to post like three videos a week.
Oh,
it is.
It's hard.
So yeah,
I think that's about everything that we got.
Um,
dude,
I just got to say,
man,
like Alex,
hit me up.
If you're watching this,
like no,
no,
we quit playing with me to set them up with Alex. Like a little, she's in London right now. you're watching this, like, quit. He's still. No, no. Quit playing with me.
Maybe you need to set him up with Alex like a little date.
She's in London right now.
She's going to be living in L.A.
We got to do that.
That's the other thing.
All right, dude.
I'm fine with it.
She doesn't listen to anything I say.
I'm like, our history is long documented.
She's a monster.
Alex, I love that dynamic of a lot of TikTok people being like, who is this girl?
Like, who's this girl?
It's like, you want to talk about crowds
that'll fucking tear your ass down?
The Daddy Gang is one of the most roofless,
easier-faced gangs ever to walk the face of the internet.
No, yeah.
They are definitely just...
I saw the replies to when Blake and Bryce would tweet,
and they'd be like, check the fucking charts on the podcast.
Dude, I didn't know Daddy Gang...
They were just like, they were going in. the like the like photo to like when you went
back.
Oh my.
I think that's why Blake probably didn't come on this podcast because he's like, I still
don't know who you are.
But then the daddy gang dug it up of him liking her in a bikini.
There's no comeback.
Yeah, that's so tough.
That's so tough.'s so tough i'm
not gonna lie like you just gotta you know you win some you lose some i'm not gonna lie though
there's probably some girls that i've like gone through and liked their pictures and i don't
remember who the fuck they are i was like you're just hot and i was like but how old how old is
blake 19 yeah so i think you'd know i mean how old is she daddy gang call her daddy and call i mean every
fucking person listens to it i mean she's yeah i'm not saying she's joe rogan but she's not that
far off in terms of like popularity people fucking know who she is so she has a big and probably like
a 15 year old girl may be like i don't know who joe rogan is either you know like a 13 so
yeah 100 dude i'm just
waiting on her to reply to my dms you just you know it's still replied to any dms how many have
you sent like how many yo's are in that inbox right now well one of them is yo and then she
put me on her story i replied like and then i sent one back and then i said yo again like no i said
not i didn't say yo again i was like i want to do call her daddy
basically listen i don't know like the fact she knew right away that's a good sign because i'm
sure she gets a million cent uh stuff sent to her too she she remembered me that's what i mean i
think that's a good sign and she said you're a good looking yeah but who knows but like no i
she's she's definitely a check maybe maybe you'll be her next London guy for two weeks. Never know.
You know what we got to do also?
Two weeks is enough.
I remember when we were sitting in the first time we met,
and you guys all have podcasts.
Everyone's like launching podcasts, launching podcasts.
I remember growing up, like we have this guy, we have that guy. I'm like, dude, our podcast is going to smoke all the other podcasts.
Oh, absolutely.
Smoking all the other podcasts.
I already know what's coming.
You're like the only one left yeah we actually like still doing very well like we're
way up there last week and looking at the views oh yeah so now it's like all right what we gotta
get guests we gotta also somehow whether you come to new york or i go back to la like because that
always helps we need some in-person shit dude dave come back man i know on the internet you
come in working out shirtless was really good for your brain i get that i get that uh picture of like the bulldog in skinny
jeans everyone like this is what an old man looks like in skinny jeans it's just like a barrel chest
like fat bulldog with like skinny jeans on it's not the best fucking look i will say i'm not going
back in his car he made me fucking puke going like 190 and like a 20 we were going yeah
we were going down like the fucking turns going back to the house and dude dave come come through
i actually want to uh hang out maybe like do a pizza review or some shit man we will we gotta
figure out we're at what five we i don't think either of us knew exactly what was gonna go on
the interesting dynamic now if i come in the house whether, whether Bryce, Blake, and Noah fucking hate me.
They didn't know me before.
Yeah, or, like, maybe beat the fuck out of you or something.
Dude, they'll be fine, man.
Imagine it's, like, a clip.
You see Dave, and he's, like,
Dave's dipping them all.
All right, that's BFF's another episode.
I don't know.
Will we have one before Thanksgiving?
Maybe.
We'll find out.
Yeah, heck yeah.
Peace.
Thanks for doing it.
All right, see you, Dave.
