00:00:33may be a little confusing, so let me explain it for you. We recorded this episode last week and
00:00:38we didn't put it out, but I gave an explanation video in the beginning for the boys. And I think
00:00:43for everyone to understand, we're going to replay that video and then it's going to cut back to this
00:00:48week's episode where we talk about everything. Hey guys, I've tried to record this so many times.
00:00:57I sat down for like five hours in the podcast room trying to record it. I haven't slept yet. I
00:01:03guess let's just get into it. And if I do cry, I'm embarrassed too. Like I didn't want to do
00:01:11any of this yet. I just wanted to deal with my breakup privately, but that was robbed from me.
00:01:17So here we are.
00:01:21So pretty much after all set, like everything was done, I was approached by his team and I was
00:01:29offered a lot of money, like a big lump sum of money and a few options. Basically I would have
00:01:39gotten the money over the course of three years. I would have had to sign all of my experiences,
00:01:46everything that I am away to this person. They would have been monitoring everything that I do.
00:01:52And at the end of the three years, I'll receive like that big lump sum of money, like throughout
00:01:59the years. I thought about it for a second and I think they tend to forget. I started to forget
00:02:13that I was someone, I was established, I was successful before him. I'm going to be someone,
00:02:21I'm going to be established, I'm going to be successful after him. Maybe I'm not going to
00:02:27be selling out stadiums and fucking making hundreds of millions of dollars. That is like,
00:02:34I'm all right where I'm at and I don't want blood money. And I don't think you can pay people off
00:02:41that you hurt for them to protect you. I think that in itself, offering millions of dollars
00:02:52to this apparent beautiful relationship to keep it a secret speaks volumes.
00:03:03Yeah, honestly, that's all I'm going to say on that. I did not accept any money. I will not
00:03:08accept any money. I think that's beneath me. I think that is fucked up. I am not previous people.
00:03:18I am me and I will not, I will not just, great guy. I don't want to nitpick everything he's
00:03:27ever done. I don't want to talk about all of the bad shit and get into details. I want to talk
00:03:34about the ending. And I also want to blame myself a lot for this because half the reason
00:03:44this all happened to me is because I let it. And I think this is why it's so important for me.
00:03:51And I think other girls and women that experience the same thing. It's like, I kept showing up
00:03:59when I shouldn't have. And I kept like loving and giving when I shouldn't have. And
00:04:11that comes down to like, that's a me problem. And I think a lot of people do that. If you're not
00:04:18getting the love that you're giving, you have to walk away. And I genuinely think
00:04:27that this is such a blessing because who fucking knows how long I would have stayed and how long
00:04:32I would have dealt with this shit. And like just been a doormat to someone with this big,
00:04:38crazy life that just like seemingly cannot take accountability for the way you treated me.
00:04:46I think this is a learning moment. I think this is a lesson learned. And I learned a lot about
00:04:53myself in this relationship. So I guess let's just get into the ending of our relationship.
00:04:59I've went through this two times. So I obviously went on tour with him and I like gave up myself
00:05:10to do that. And like I said, willingly, we talked about it a lot and it was like a sacrifice for
00:05:16our future. And it was one year we could do it. It would be over. And like, I was just willing
00:05:24to sacrifice for someone that I loved. I didn't think that, I didn't think that it would end like
00:05:30this, obviously. And throughout that, it came a point where I had to plan my tour, the tours that
00:05:40I've been doing for years. And I started planning it and we planned it according to his tour
00:05:49schedule. So it was planned where I could be at everything of his and he had a two month break.
00:05:56I could go on my tour and we could just like relax and take a break because the year was very grueling
00:06:04on obviously him, but me too. I'm living on a bus and traveling every single day and
00:06:09I'm not with anyone that I know. And it was really lonely. So I was going to get off his tour
00:06:18of the year, get off the bus. And I had a couple of days and I'm going to go on tour.
00:06:23He drove me to New York city and dropped me off. And it was kind of abrupt. It was like,
00:06:31he just like got in his car and left. And I'm like, he's like, I'm not ditching you. I'm going
00:06:35to come like on your tour in a couple of days. I'll see you like, I love you. That felt a little
00:06:40weird. I was like, what the hell? I knew he wasn't coming and that's okay because we talked about it.
00:06:50And it was basically that he had just had the hardest year of his life. He just wants to sit
00:06:58still. He wants to be here in Massachusetts, be at home and just be quiet. And I'm like, you know
00:07:06what? That makes total sense. I'll go on my tour. I'm excited. I'm so excited to get back to me and
00:07:12like do what I was doing. It will be nice to have like this time off, you know, away from each other
00:07:19where I'm back doing my thing and he can just relax, recollect himself and get ready to go
00:07:25on the last leg of his tour. And I set off on tour and him and I are fine. And we're talking every
00:07:31day, obviously. And I'm thriving. I'm so happy. I'm back on my element. It's all over social media,
00:07:39obviously, like I'm posting about it. I'm so excited. I'm back with my friends. I'm like doing
00:07:45me. And it's very evident that I'm happy. And all of a sudden there's this shift with him where he
00:07:58suddenly goes to New York City and throws a pop-up show and stops answering me. And
00:08:07just completely is just 180 from, babe, I can't make your tour because I really want to
00:08:14just be home and be here and be present and relax to, okay, I'm not going to come to your tour,
00:08:23but I'm going to go have a pop-up show in New York City. I'm going to stay out all night for
00:08:30all these days and not answer you. And then I'm going to text you when you're on your biggest
00:08:38tour that you've done and say, actually, I can't do this anymore out of nowhere.
00:08:46While I'm in Seattle, I'm across the country and I'm like halfway. It's hard to even look back on
00:08:54because I'm halfway through my tour and it's fucking awesome. And like, obviously every day
00:09:01I'm wishing he was there, like how I showed up for him. But I respected that he just wanted to
00:09:10be home because I understood that he had a hard year, but then he just went out and went crazy
00:09:18and threw parties and then tells me he can't do this anymore with me because he needed me
00:09:28during these two weeks that we had planned for me to be on my tour. He needed me there,
00:09:34but we had planned this according to his schedule so that I could go live my life.
00:09:39And I sidebar, I just, I genuinely think he just needs someone that can be that,
00:09:49that can just be the girl and no one should ever just be the girl. And I was
00:09:58so close to just being the girl, but I'm on tour and I'm like, holy shit. I kind of forgot
00:10:07like who I am and what I built and all of these fans that are here and all this, these shows,
00:10:13I'm still touring the fucking West coast. I'm flying all over and I'm doing so well. I'm so
00:10:19happy. I'm finally like feeling like myself again. And I, I just get the, I can't do this anymore.
00:10:29I need you. And it was like, like what we, what, where is this coming from? Why are you breaking
00:10:41up with me when I'm across the country on my tour and what the fuck? So I'm on my tour and
00:10:49my tour documentary is out. You can slowly watch the light fade from my fucking eyes. It's really
00:10:56sad to watch, but you would have never known that. You would have never known that. No one
00:11:02there knew that because I put them first and that tour first. And I wasn't going to let,
00:11:10wasn't going to let for a second, him take that away from me or my team or my friends.
00:11:18And I have three more shows left or two more shows left. And I'm a mess. Like I can't even,
00:11:25I can't even talk. I'm, I'm just in my hotel room. Like, what the fuck? I'm like, do I fly back? Do
00:11:34I like try to talk to him? What, what is happening? It was just so out of nowhere. And for why I don't
00:11:42know, have that thrown on me while I was on tour was awful. And, um, I got through it. I got through
00:11:52the tour, like barely. And I flew home and I'm like, no way this is like, like no way this is
00:12:01happening. Right. Like I'm going to go home and it's going to be like, no, like, no, this isn't
00:12:07what's happening. And I get home from three weeks on the road of nonstop travel. And it's pretty
00:12:16much like, Hey, it's time to move out. I'm like, what can we like talk about this? Um, not even
00:12:26that I want to figure it out. Like, can I have a, can we have a conversation about what's happening?
00:12:33Because I'm fucking lost, bro. I am like, are we on two different planets right now? Did we not just
00:12:44buy, like, did we not just build a life together in my, like where I grew up? Did we not just
00:12:54talk about constantly every day, getting married and kids? Do we not make video diaries
00:13:00for our children every day? I go away for two weeks to, to give myself a little bit of something
00:13:10and I come home and it's pack your bags. I was gutted, like gutted. I
00:13:20drove back to Boston the next morning and still getting nothing. It's just like,
00:13:28I've accepted it. I had to cancel surviving Barstool because I had to look for a place to live.
00:13:35And I had to, um, I don't know, try to comprehend everything that was going on. And I don't think a
00:13:45reality show would have been the best for me, which sucks because I really wanted to do that.
00:13:50Like, and I was really excited for that. And I feel like there was so many things that I
00:13:55like really wanted to do. I was excited for, and I just like, I was made to like hate so many
00:14:03things about myself that like I once loved. And like, I just like started to just do everything
00:14:13with him in the back of my mind. And I don't think that's how any relationship should ever be.
00:14:20Like, of course you think about your significant other, but you shouldn't think about like,
00:14:23is this going to upset them? Or is this gonna like cause a fight when it's things
00:14:31that shouldn't upset people? And, uh, I, I drove home and I like came to terms with it.
00:14:40And I just like surrounded myself with friends and family and like fucking cried to them. Um,
00:14:48and I think like three or four days went by and I get a call from him, like,
00:14:56it was all a mistake. And like, I need you right now. Like he going through his own shit
00:15:04and he's like, I like, I need you. I need you to come back. Like, I'll come to you. Like, I'm
00:15:10sorry. And like, I foolishly was like, okay, like you, okay. I'll, I'll fucking come back. Um,
00:15:25I'm embarrassed of that. But like I said, when you love somebody, right. Um,
00:15:34but that's also why I say this is like partially my fault. Cause I let myself be treated that way.
00:15:40And I don't know why, like, I don't know why I just was in this like crazy cycle
00:15:48with this guy. And, um, I came back and like, he still never apologized for what he did to me.
00:15:58And I kept asking, he'd be like, I'm going to apologize. I just can't do it right now.
00:16:02He never did. He never, he never apologized for like doing what he did to me when I was on tour
00:16:09and then like sending me home. And then like, there's, there's a lot of, there's a lot of
00:16:17there's nothing from it. So I guess I'm like staying with him to like, hopefully get some
00:16:22sort of closure. And then we went in to Boston for my live show and a lot of horrible shit happened
00:16:30that night. I don't want to get into details right now. I don't know if I ever want to get
00:16:35into details. Um, but a lot of horrible shit happened that night. And the next day, um,
00:16:45it kind of ended with us wanting to work through it, me willing to work through it and forgiving
00:16:57and, um, like him telling me, like, I can't lose you. I need you. And me being like, okay,
00:17:08all right. All right. Let's do this. Like we can get through this.
00:17:13And then the next morning we wake up and I'm like getting a cold shoulder.
00:17:19I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Like it, it was always so hot and cold. Like I didn't know
00:17:24what version I was going to get ever. And it's just cold shoulder. And he's like, I'm going back
00:17:33to Oklahoma. And I'm like, okay, I've been telling you to go back to Oklahoma all year.
00:17:40Like, I want, I, I want to go back to Oklahoma too. I miss it. And, um, he goes back to Oklahoma
00:17:48and I don't know where we stand at this point. Cause he won't give me anything. I'm asking,
00:17:53like, are we okay? What's going on? And he's just like, I need to go back to Oklahoma. I'm like,
00:17:58okay, cool. But
00:18:03us and, um, he's just, I'm going back. I'm like, okay. I ask, I ask, I go, can I have a hug
00:18:13before you go? This seems like it's going to be the last time we're going to see each other.
00:18:17And he goes, you're being so fucking dramatic. Didn't give me a hug. Okay. So that's the last
00:18:24time I saw him. I knew that was going to be the last time I saw him. Um, he went to Oklahoma
00:18:33and I still never got, like, I never had the breakup conversation. I never had like a phone
00:18:41call about what's going on. I've just had like argumentative words and I, we didn't have the
00:18:47sit down. Like all I wanted was like a kinder goodbye. Um, I'm well aware people break up
00:18:55and things happen, but people break up and things happen in like a normal way that this just was
00:19:02like discard, leave, bye. Me cry. And, um, I talked to him about it a lot. Like talk about,
00:19:16like we finally, like, I guess had our breakup conversation over text. Um, and it was the same
00:19:24day that he made his Raya. And that day we have like our talk and we talk about how moving forward
00:19:34publicly is going to be on me and on my terms. And when I want to say it and I was like, I just need
00:19:39like, um, just give me a week so that I can deal with this before I have to deal with it online in
00:19:46front of everyone. And I, um, get a bunch of DMS that night of like, girl, your man's on Raya.
00:19:56I'm like, what? So I'm like, what the fuck? Obviously it's like, dude, you are the guy right
00:20:05now. Like you are so famous. Everyone is going to immediately post that. Do you not have any
00:20:13like remorse or regard like that you claim to for my feelings? When you know we broke up that day,
00:20:22you make a Raya. Obviously it's going to be the first thing online. Like obviously one that's
00:20:28humiliating too. That's hurtful. Three. It's like, what the fuck? I don't think you need Raya. I think
00:20:34you need therapy. It's fucking beyond me that he did that. And when I called him, Zach, really?
00:20:40You make a dating profile? You know what he says to me? I didn't make a dating profile. I reactivated
00:20:47it. I'm like, okay. Um, if one plus one equals two, like it's the same thing. Um, so that was like,
00:20:57okay, whatever. I hung up and I was like, I just like think we need a week. We can talk about this
00:21:04in a week. And I went off social media and, um, I wake up to all of these texts and calls,
00:21:15like all crazy. I thought something terrible had happened. And I wake up to his Instagram post
00:21:24when we had talked about moving forward was going to be like a mutual thing. He posted
00:21:32the Instagram story of our breakup because he got caught on Raya and to say in the Instagram post,
00:21:41like I'm not perfect and all this shit and then post a truck, the big fucking truck after
00:21:51that cracked me up. I was like, what is this? What is my life? What the fuck? The truck after
00:22:00the breakup black Instagram screen.
00:22:06So I'm like, what the fuck do I do? I didn't even get to tell my mom, my dad, my sisters,
00:22:11my cousins, my best friends, everyone in my life found out about my breakup from his Instagram
00:22:18story because we had broken up the night before all that gets posted. Whatever. I post my YouTube
00:22:25video. I'm crying on my bathroom floor, um, in the house that we moved in together and planned
00:22:32on having kids in and he's on Raya. And at that point it's like, all right, it is what it is. Um,
00:22:42I'm not going to get a goodbye from him. I'm not going to get a talk from him or with him. Um,
00:22:48all I got was his team reaching out to me about settlements. Um, and I got him reaching out to me
00:22:57only when Dave talked about him online. Like there was no, there was no like communication
00:23:06other than like, what are you going to say about me? You, I don't know. You don't have that power
00:23:12over me anymore. Like I defended you countless times online. I had your back always. Um,
00:23:18but you decided to get rid of the person in your corner. Thank God. Thank God. I just,
00:23:26I can't wait to move forward and heal from this and just like be a voice for women that
00:23:34go through the same things because it's unfair. And, um, yeah, I don't know. I don't want your
00:23:42money, bro. Bye. Okay. Uh, BFFs, you're on a chicken fry breakup part two, part two, part two.
00:23:56So I, I don't know where we'll go with it. I guess I'll set the stage. So we missed last week's
00:24:03recording. We did record and it was like a Brianna, uh, chicken fry kind of tell all
00:24:13asking questions, going back and forth. That episode obviously did not air in the course of
00:24:22that week. Brianna was offered, and I'm trying to think the best way to lay out this whole thing.
00:24:30We'll get into all the subjects we did before, but a lot's changed from the last episode.
00:24:34Brianna was offered basically a payout to sign an NDA, uh, to not talk about the breakup things
00:24:44that happened. And it was a constant over the last week of back and forth. I think in Brianna's
00:24:52mind, should I take the money? And it's a shit ton. 12 million bucks is what it ended up being
00:24:58offering $12 million. So that is life-changing money. And I think for the better half of the
00:25:05week, if you talk to Bri and obviously I'll let Bri say this in all words, uh, one hour,
00:25:13she'd be like, I'm not taking a fuck that I'm not taking it the next hour, too much money have to
00:25:19take it. Like, how can I pass up 12 million? Like what happened to like my career? I don't know.
00:25:26People have turned on me since this relationship. It's been kind of a stalwart, my career,
00:25:31and I was going back and forth with her a lot. And even I was flip-flopping.
00:25:36Like I was like, I think it was a moral battle. It was a moral battle. And I kept calling Dave.
00:25:41Well, I kept calling everyone because I'm like, no one has the answer to this. I'm like,
00:25:45what the fuck do I do? And of course, I mean, from the get-go, from the beginning,
00:25:49from last week's episode, I was like, fuck you. I don't want your money.
00:25:52But then I look at my family who obviously doesn't have money and comes from nothing.
00:25:56And they're like, take the money, take the money. And I'm like, I feel so stupid if I
00:26:00don't take this money. And like you said, the career thing, but then I'm not going to be able
00:26:04to sleep at night if I take this dude's money and we'll get, we'll get into why I didn't take
00:26:08the money. But yeah, it was a back and forth. And I was, I was the same as I was like,
00:26:13take the money. I can't. Well, me and Dave, me and Dave even texted him. It was like, it was like,
00:26:18we can't tell Brie not to like, obviously, you know, we want to go to war, but we can't tell
00:26:23Brie not to take this money. Like this is, this is huge. And Josh and I made the diss track after
00:26:31we recorded nothing from Brie, like no, no information in the diss track that we made
00:26:37was from Brie. It's all readily available, already kind of out there stuff. So this would have
00:26:43nothing. Yes, correct. Nothing to do with her. Um, and again, I was going back and forth because
00:26:50I've my perspective in, in, I don't want to toot my own horn and this is the, the Brie show and
00:26:56Josh's horn. We were going to eat that diss track for a while. Like, I just thought we were going
00:27:00to make it. We spent all day doing it. I'm like, this is just never going to see the light of day.
00:27:05So, and again, I didn't want to, and I still didn't, I think the last conversation I had with
00:27:09Brie, I was like, you know what? I kind of don't think you should take it. I think this sends a
00:27:17message. You're like what you're about and money's money. You've never been about money, but I also
00:27:23don't want to be the person to be like, don't take it because you, in three years, you turned down
00:27:2712 million or whatever it is. And I don't want to be in that spot. So I understood it was only,
00:27:32it was a very personal decision that only Brie could make and right up till
00:27:38what was it? The election day. I thought we were done. I was, and I guess, can I say it now? We
00:27:45haven't really planned. This is a free form thing. Yeah. Like my plan at the end of the year was to
00:27:52be done with BFFs. Um, just because I'm getting older, like nearing 50, talking about teenage
00:27:59drama, a little out of my wheelhouse. So we've known this for months and we're like, what's the
00:28:04best way to announce it? End it. This part came up and complicated like the whole thing a little
00:28:10bit because we recorded the podcast, didn't air it. And the one thing on me, I can't know shit.
00:28:17Like I just can't know it and not say it. So it's like, well, I can't go back on the pod.
00:28:22Um, I, I support Brie's decision. I think I've been, so it was a really murky situation. I thought
00:28:28that's how this was ending. I thought I was going to get on and be like, Hey, like I respect their
00:28:34decision. We're not going to talk about this act thing, but I can't be on it anymore because I have
00:28:39to talk about it if we're going to do it. And then I woke up the next morning and it's like,
00:28:44fuck the money. We're going, going to war. Yeah. That was the most exciting text I've gotten in
00:28:49the last year. I think, I mean, I was on my flight going to Milan and when I leave for my flight,
00:28:56I call Brie and kind of like the last combo I have with Brie was like, it was kind of in the
00:29:01same direction you were talking about Dave, where it's like the pods kind of going to have to come
00:29:06to an end. Like, how can we do this and not talk about it? Like that wouldn't be us doing our due
00:29:10diligence to the fans and the people that have supported this show for three years. Right.
00:29:13And I think Brie, you probably thought about that, right? Like it's because we are a gossip
00:29:17podcast and it's obviously different. Josh has gone through it extreme in the beginning,
00:29:22nothing like what Brie is because Zach's such a huge star, me a tiny bit, but nothing like this.
00:29:28So it's a personal decision. Josh and I certainly can't tell Brie what to do or how to think or
00:29:34what decision, but it's really hard to go along with this pod and pretend this didn't happen.
00:29:40Yeah. Well, this episode is going to be really hard for me and that's why I've put it off for
00:29:48so long, because of course, like the diss track was silly and it was funny and that is what it
00:29:54is, but it's so much deeper than that. And like this episode isn't, I honestly feel like I might
00:30:02cry. So this might get awkward, but especially in Minahan studio. I know it's like, what the,

00:31:14taking the money. Like it's not just for me. It's for anyone else that's been emotionally abused.
00:31:20It's for people right now that are being emotionally abused. It's for people that
00:31:24don't have a support system that I was luckily enough to have going through this. And like the
00:31:29last year of my life has been like the hardest year of my life, like dealing with the abuse from
00:31:36this dude. And even on last week's episode, I like, I'm still scared right now. Cause I'm like
00:31:42scared of him still. My brain's rewired. Like I'm scared to make him mad. And last week I didn't want
00:31:48to talk about it because I was scared. So I was like, yeah, we can just talk about this stuff.
00:31:52That's public. And I still said, fuck your money. But it came down to the point of
00:31:59I'm not the people before. And I was someone before you and you made the women before me
00:32:06believe that they had no other choice than to take money from you. Sign their, their experiences
00:32:13away, sign what they went through away. You get to go skip off and sing your little fucking songs
00:32:19on stage. Like you're a good, good dude. You get to treat people around you like shit. Sorry. I'm
00:32:25not them. I don't want your money. I don't want in two years to buy a fucking house and think,
00:32:32Oh, this is the money from the dude that literally fucking destroyed me and broke me for a year.
00:32:38Fuck that. Fuck you. I don't want your money. And I I'm, this isn't me getting on. This isn't
00:32:44like a drama thing for me. This isn't me not signing the NDA or not taking the money because
00:32:48I want to get on here and expose who he is and his secrets and all that shit. I didn't sign the NDA.
00:32:54I didn't take the money because I'm not signing away my experiences and what I went through
00:32:59to protect someone that hurt me. And I'm a lot stronger than a weak man. And I'm not,
00:33:04fuck you. Fuck your money. Fuck you. That that's where I'm at. And that's why I didn't take the
00:33:09money. It didn't have anything to do with the podcast or with anything. I literally for the
00:33:15last, I don't, it feels like it's been months, but I don't know when this like maybe two weeks,
00:33:20I have been so back and forth because the second it happened, the second it happened,
00:33:25I told his team, I have all the texts and everything. The second we broke up,
00:33:29the second he posted that text, I said, fuck you. I don't want your money. Like,
00:33:33I don't want a settlement. I don't like, I don't know who you think I am, but that's not me.
00:33:37And then it was a back and forth, a back and forth. His team would call me.
00:33:40They'd, they gave me all these options. They gave me, they started low. Then they went up
00:33:45to 10 million. Then they went up to 12 million. Then they wanted to give me a house. Then they
00:33:48wanted to give me a New York apartment. Then they wanted to do all these things to make me,
00:33:54I mean that in itself, $12 million to not talk about this relationship that you posted on
00:34:01Instagram that was so beautiful. And you had so much love for me. What the fuck are you hiding,
00:34:04dude? What are you scared of? Like, and also everything that's already on the internet
00:34:09is enough. But I mean, I went through literal narcissistic, emotional abuse for a year
00:34:15and he made me believe everything was my fault. He isolated me for my whole entire life. He
00:34:20wouldn't let me be who I wanted to be. He made me hate everything that I loved about myself.
00:34:24He broke me down and then made me feel like he was all I had left. And he just kept repeatedly
00:34:30beating me down and beating me down even to the point of like yesterday or like when I gave you
00:34:36guys the call when I'm, I'm finally standing up for myself and being like, no, fuck you.
00:34:41I don't want to sign this. It's my fault. I'm the bad guy. This is like,
00:34:46you guys are idiots. Barstool is the worst. What I do is diminishing.
00:34:52Bree sent me a text. He's called us all a retard. He hates my guts. I ended up,
00:34:58I ended up like more in the middle of this than I kind of was anticipating.
00:35:04And which is funny because I texted Dave and was like, you want to do the Dez track on Zach?
00:35:09And then now Dave is the one that Zach is like, what the fuck? Well, yeah, because I was like,
00:35:16I was, I feel like I have pretty good life experience through Barstool, whatever older.
00:35:23So I, I was trying to act as, I guess, Bree's friend and like legal advice when I don't have
00:35:30any real legal advice, but like I was knowing what was going on in the negotiations to a degree.
00:35:35Um, and it was going back and forth with the money. We'll get to, but like at one point,
00:35:41Austin sent me a text and the text, and I wasn't involved at any point on this,
00:35:50but it was something to the effect. You guys kept being brought into it for some reason. I'm like,
00:35:55this is between me and Zach. Like I, you guys kept being brought into it. And I'm like,
00:36:01what the fuck is going on? And honestly, their team is fucking stupid because if I didn't have
00:36:06enough time to take myself out of the situation and really think about this,
00:36:10I would have fucking signed that NDA, but they stalled and they, they fucked up because I could
00:36:16have been stupid. Yeah. It was going super slow, like the back and forth. And when we thought
00:36:23Bree was going to take the money, I'm like, get the money in your account. I don't care about
00:36:26legal shit. I can, they told her at one point they can't wire 5 million bucks or something.
00:36:31I was like, Bree, I can fucking wire you 5 million bucks in 10 minutes. That's bullshit.
00:36:35They're lying. So I'm behind the scenes at some point. And we talked when Josh and I distracted,
00:36:41like, they're going to try to push this to the election. They're going to like delay, delay,
00:36:45delay because getting the news cycle. But Austin sent me a text and we, Josh and I were not
00:36:51involved in this. Bree really hadn't revealed very little. Nothing. I was talking to them and
00:36:56my lawyers. That's it. I was trying to, I was playing always like I always did by their rules,
00:37:01by their playbook. I was trying to make Zach happy. So Austin sends me a text.
00:37:08They're trying to squeeze Bree because of Josh and Josh and you, right? Wasn't that what you
00:37:15pretty much said, Austin? Yeah. Basically they were saying that they were going to squeeze Bree
00:37:19in order to stop you guys from saying anything or releasing the diss track. They're like,
00:37:22we can't get to you. So we'll get to you through Bree. And they found out about the diss track
00:37:27that Josh and I made because of some weird connection between like Warner music or something,
00:37:31like an engineer. Regardless, I think anyone who knows me pretty well, like Bree can make her own
00:37:39decisions. I'm not going to have someone tell me like, I have to shut up. Like, I don't even know
00:37:44anything. I was like, you guys are fucking idiots. Also like me, I would call Dave and talk about
00:37:52this. Like not even about like what really was going on. Just be like, this is a decision I need
00:37:57to make. Is it like money or what? What should I do? But Dave didn't know anything. And I tried
00:38:01to explain to them, like Dave, it's Dave Portnoy. Do you guys not, this is his shtick. This is his
00:38:07thing. If you try to attack him, everything is going to get worse. And they just tried to pin
00:38:12Dave on me. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? So yeah, it was a weird strategy for them to
00:38:17think poking the bear was going to come out positively for them. I keep going back to who
00:38:24the fuck is running this guy's shit because they need to be gone. Not that I want to give Zack
00:38:28advice on his life, but get rid of whoever's running your shit. I had some words with his
00:38:34manager after Austin sent me that must have been Thursday at 432pm. Because at 433. I don't even
00:38:43know how you had. I got the lawyer's number. Who did you have? Yeah, Chris, I can read the text.
00:38:48It's it's kind of funny. I have it. I have the what you said. Chris, Chris must have given it.
00:38:54How did yeah, Chris, I told it. Yeah. So Chris gave I don't know how Chris had the lawyer's
00:38:58number. Because he Chris is like my manager. So my manager, my lawyer, they were working together.
00:39:04So at 432 Austin tells me they're trying to squeeze Bri because of Josh and Dave, we have
00:39:11nothing to do with at this point. A minute later, I sent this to the lawyer. Hey, this is Dave
00:39:17Portnoy. I don't know who the fuck you think you're dealing with. I've been I've been nice so far.
00:39:22Pay Bri ASAP. I'm coming for Zach's throat. Bri won't have a say in it anymore. Josh won't have
00:39:27a say. I can pay Bri myself. I've tried to stay out of it. But stop all caps fucking around.
00:39:33Pay or shut the fuck up. I'm losing patience. So I sent that to the lawyer. Yeah. It's like
00:39:40enough lawyer talk. I know you can fucking pay. They try to turn around and say, I'm extorting
00:39:46Zach. They're like, that's a crime. Somebody tell me. It's so insane. It's like you guys
00:39:53are trying to silence Bri. You're offering her an NDA with all this money. And she's like,
00:40:00at one point, I'm ready to sign. Get me the paperwork. You won't do it. You're just dilly
00:40:04dallying, changing the rules, changing the playing field. Now, Josh and I are involved.
00:40:09It's like either fucking pay it or it's fucking game on. And they tried to say we're extorting
00:40:14him. I've never heard that. We're extorting him. You are trying to bribe her to be quiet with an
00:40:19NDA. It's insane. You would think NDA was in his DNA or something. Yeah. That's a great line. So
00:40:25great line. All that, that's kind of the show. You're wrong. Rone wrote most of my lyrics.
00:40:34The other thing's great. And by the way, also we got, we'll get into the brief stuff.
00:40:38There's the diss track, which we may win a Grammy for Josh. People are fucking
00:40:44loving it, bro. We knew it was a hit. Come on. We knew it was the hit. The second we laid it down,
00:40:49we knew it was a hit. It is basically off all platforms right now because Zach and Warner
00:40:54music group are doing like a takedown DMCA is yeah. We got crybaby Brian and the spineless PR
00:41:00team running around deleting shit off the internet. And guess what? It's still getting
00:41:04millions of views. It's still getting tens of millions of views through Twitter or X tick talk.
00:41:10It's insane that the strategy, the crisis management, like we think it's because of that
00:41:16last, this is the only thing we can think the how lucky is braid. Maybe that's copyright. So
00:41:22just going to cut that last sentence, put it back up. But like, I quite literally have access to
00:41:2810,000 like accounts, like our barstool. So that's great. Like their crisis management,
00:41:33why he cares so much is I guess what we'll get into now with you, Brie. We talked about a little,
00:41:41but for somebody to pay 12 million bucks, that to me indicates there's more than just image.
00:41:48Like everything said, controlling things like that. Well, there's a pattern now developing
00:41:54quite a, quite a pattern developing. Like I will say, Brie, you were talking about it earlier.
00:41:59Hats off to you. Respect for you. You are in a different position. And you were like,
00:42:03I'm in a different position than the people that Zach's been with in the past. So I'm going to be
00:42:06the one that's going to take this on and go and like, share the story and have a voice here because
00:42:11the others weren't in a position where they could necessarily do the same thing you did.
00:42:15And so one hats off. I just think, I just think that's, that's something that, you know,
00:42:20people need to recognize. It's crazy. It's crazy. I don't know what I would have done in a similar
00:42:27situation. I'd like to believe what I would have done, but.
00:42:30I knew from the get-go I wasn't going to take it. I'm really glad they gave me that like extra
00:42:35three days to like, I sat, I sat on the back. You want to know when I made the final decision?
00:42:41I sat on the back porch of the Duxbury house that he bought for us to live in next to my family and
00:42:48like have a family. And I sat on that back porch with my aunt and we looked out at the water and
00:42:53we looked at this fucking $10 million house. And I'm like, for what? I'm going to get all these
00:43:00millions and just to have a backyard to sit in and thank Zach for like, it was never about the
00:43:05money. I was with the dude because I loved the dude. Like everything glamorous, richer, fucking
00:43:11cool about him was the shit that I hated about him or I hated being with him for.
00:43:16So it was just so pointless to take the money to me.

00:43:48your really toxic relationship? And I did ask this on the original episode. Yeah. It sounds like,
00:43:55so you guys broke up prior to the breakup that stuck in. You had really nasty things to say
00:44:03about him. Then you're like, this guy's crazy. He's a psycho. They're going to probably offer
00:44:07me money. Then you got back together and it was kind of like under the radar stuff.
00:44:13This, it's, you're in a cycle of fighting, breaking, getting back. Do you think if he
00:44:19didn't post that message and wasn't caught on Raya, there's a chance you're still with him now?
00:44:26I think 100% if it was like, so I guess let me reverse it a little bit to explain.
00:44:35Yeah. I think we should have a recap basically kind of what she did in the last episode,
00:44:39just so everyone has what we're up to at this point. Yeah. I'll do like a little more insight
00:44:44to the relationship. So obviously I ignored a lot of red flags, but when people tell me
00:44:51they love me or when like, I just believe people because I don't want, I don't assume people are
00:44:56bad. Not liking Dave Portnoy, huge red flag. Yeah. Well, so our relationship started and I
00:45:06also want to make it very clear. People think that he was with his ex-girlfriend when we started
00:45:11dating. He, and it's out there for you guys, things that you have used against me before.
00:45:16He was with multiple other girls, the STD girls after his past relationship. Then I was after that.
00:45:24So I, there was nothing. And I can attest to this. I was at the concert the first night Brie
00:45:29and Zach even met. Like, so I do know. I just shook his hand. Yeah. Brie and him at the concert
00:45:35didn't, they just said hello. What did we say hi to him for three and a half seconds?
00:45:38And then what if we went and hung out with my boyfriend at the time? There's a lot of allegations
00:45:43of that still, which I know you've cleared that like. I mean, the timeline is there for you guys
00:45:49made the timeline. Go fucking check your own facts. If you want to use everything against me,
00:45:53my whole life is on the internet. I've been honest, open about, I'm an open fucking book,
00:45:57go check it. So that like our, we first hung out when I went on this road trip with him. This is
00:46:03the first time we like talked like in person and we were texting a little bit before that.
00:46:10And then he was like, I need to go on a road trip from Philly to Oklahoma. Do you want to come? I'm
00:46:14like, yeah, fuck it. I'm just got out of a relationship. I'm super sad. I didn't think
00:46:19I'm going to end up dating this fucking dude. I'm like, this is a funny story. I'm sitting on a
00:46:24bench with Grace and she's like, yeah, go do it. Like who cares? Who wouldn't you wouldn't shut
00:46:29the fuck up? Yes, you would. So I'm like, this is going to be crazy. I'm going out with Zach
00:46:32Brian on a road trip. We go, I mean, it's immediate after love bombing, which is like,
00:46:39okay, I really am just like, oh, we really hit it off. And he's like, we're soulmates, whatever.
00:46:43After that, I mean, he got me after that weekend, we spent three days together. I think two or three
00:46:52days later, he got me tattooed on his arm. That's when I should have. That's right away, by the way.
00:46:58And I'm pretty sure I brought this up in the past. That's when you shouldn't know.
00:47:03I know. I know. Guys, I know.
00:47:05Getting tattoos for one in a relationship, I think is pretty crazy. Secondly, doing it,
00:47:11but like y'all haven't even started dating yet.
00:47:13Nope. I have to get some tattoos removed.
00:47:17But I'm just a girl. And I was like, I love this dude. This is fun. And I believed him like I
00:47:22didn't. He's telling me constantly, women are always trying to ruin my life online. And like,
00:47:27people just want money from me at like, yada, yada, yada. I'm believing him when he says this,
00:47:31because he's giving me no other reason to not believe it. Like he's a narrative controller.
00:47:36He likes to control narratives.
00:47:37He manipulated the fuck out of me. Like, I truly thought he was this great dude,
00:47:41because in the first four months of our relationship, he was that's who he showed
00:47:45me. That's what like, I thought that's who I fell in love with. I fell in love with this
00:47:49person that doesn't exist, this person that he showed me who he was. So after the four months
00:47:53of the love bombing, the like, affirmation, like just being the loveliest best dude ever,
00:47:59it's just like all of a sudden a switch and he's making excuses, blaming it on shit he's going.
00:48:05There was always another excuse as to why he was treating me so poorly and why I'm crying myself
00:48:08to sleep every night, why he's screaming at me like, and then you wake up, it's the apology.
00:48:13It's the I'm going to be better. Like I need you in my life. But if you've been through this,
00:48:18I don't know. Like, I don't expect people to understand emotional abuse if you haven't been
00:48:23through it. And I hope you never have to go through it. But if you've been there,
00:48:27you know what I'm talking about. And it was just this constant cycle of like, build you up,
00:48:33beat you down, apologize over and over and over. So I like, was just rewired to be like, when we
00:48:41fought, he's gonna apologize, and it's gonna be okay. And I'm gonna feel better because he
00:48:46like, you like crave that validation from the person because you're like, holding on to this
00:48:51person that you thought they were in the beginning. And it was just this crazy, awful cycle.
00:48:55So fast forward, like, I also I broke up with him last October, because I still fucking knew who I
00:49:00was before I lost myself. And I wish to God, I just stuck with my guns last October. But I lost
00:49:08myself throughout this whole relationship. It's very evident, you can see it throughout social
00:49:12media, I don't even recognize myself anymore. Like, I lost 15 pounds, I didn't have to lose in
00:49:18the relationship. I didn't sleep, like, I was completely isolated from my family, from my
00:49:23friends from work, like, he just took me out of my life. It was awful. And I stayed because I was
00:49:30just like stuck. And I loved the dude. And it was, I don't know, I kind of blame myself. I'm like,
00:49:35why did I stay? There's no answer. I don't know why I stayed it. It's crazy. And then
00:49:41you hear that from victims a lot. I mean, because ostensibly, someone listening,
00:49:47it's like, yeah, why? Why would you say stay so awful, but that's emotional abuse. And I mean,
00:49:52you you mentioned a few things. So I, the first salvo that I shot at Zach was when I was actually
00:50:01on the unnamed show. And I'm like, told two quick stories. Like I never liked Zach. Here's a little
00:50:07story. And I told the Golden Globes story, which a lot of people are asking about when Zach
00:50:12unfollowed us unfollowed you for a second. And I sort of had that story wrong. Yeah. And
00:50:19you clarified it. I thought it was because you were on the red carpet and said Jacob Elordi
00:50:25was hot, like a famous actor, and he got mad. He was unhappy with the dress you are wearing.
00:50:33And then you told more, which I never dreamed. Like he's controlling your social media as a
00:50:39team. Do you want to like speak to that? Because to me, that was like a crazy red flag.
00:50:44Yeah, well, that that that was fucking crazy. That was the first time like he had really tried
00:50:50to control what I wore or like what I posted. So I went to the Golden Globes and I posted like a
00:50:58carousel of pictures and he didn't like my dress. He said he didn't want to like date someone that
00:51:06like presents themselves that way. And he unfollowed me. He unfollowed everyone. And I
00:51:12when I flew home, like I flew home after the Golden Globes. He ruined my night. Everything
00:51:17good. Anything good I did for me. He made sure to ruin it for me. He ruined my birthday. He ruined
00:51:25my tour. He ruined the Golden Globes. Anything Brianna did for Brianna. He had to ruin it.
00:51:31So the Golden Globes night was going so great. And I'm like sending him pictures.
00:51:35And he's like happy in the beginning. And then all of a sudden it turns to like,
00:51:38I can't believe you're wearing this blah, blah, blah, ruins the night. I'm crying to grace the
00:51:42whole fucking night. And he unfollows me because of the dress. He tells me all the Instagram
00:51:47pictures that I have that I have to delete. And I'm like, okay, yeah, I guess like he makes me
00:51:54believe that like I have to change my image to like keep up with his or something. So like I
00:52:00was twisted in the head like, okay, yeah, he doesn't want he doesn't want to be with a girl
00:52:04that I don't know, has cleavage. So let me fucking whatever. But do you know what the crazy part?
00:52:10It wasn't like, oh, the thing is, I don't like we will probably show a photo in the podcast,
00:52:15obviously of this dress. But it wasn't like it was like some like, super unmodest like,
00:52:22no, it was like horrid. I loved it. I read the Golden Globes. Yeah, the Golden Globes,
00:52:27it's like a high level Hollywood event that people go to and show out in crazy outfits.
00:52:34You know what I mean? Like, I've worn more revealing stuff. I've worn more revealing
00:52:38stuff to the fucking Golden Globes than Brie has. I don't know if that's fair.
00:52:43I don't know if that's a point, but I don't like I'm not that's not me. I'm not out here with like
00:52:48my nipples and my coochie out like that is never been me and he was trying to paint me as this.
00:52:52But the cherry on the top of all of that was he reposted that picture of me on his story and was
00:53:00like, you are so beautiful while freaking out behind the scenes while freaking out behind
00:53:04the scenes on following all of us and on following me. So like, oh, man, it was just such a tug of
00:53:11war, like with my emotions in my head, like that was obviously crazy. And God, I don't know. There's
00:53:19so much I what do we want to talk about? Well, did that continue at all, Brie? Like, was there
00:53:24was there a continuation of the post controlling and like, like, did you have to start reviewing
00:53:30posts by this guy? Was this? No, no, no. Well, no, I started. That's what I mean by I lost myself
00:53:36like I everything I did in the back of my head. I had is Zach going to be mad, right? They're
00:53:43going to be a reaction to this. Like, I have to make sure everything I do isn't going to cause
00:53:48eggshells like eggshells, which is nuts again. And maybe you hear it time to time, but it's like,
00:53:57why, Zach, would you go down a path with a woman who has like a blossoming career,
00:54:05you know who she is, and then suddenly be like, drop it. You mentioned and I didn't know this
00:54:10when we negotiated your last and this is all I found out post when we negotiate like your renewal,
00:54:17that he wants to pay you more than we were gonna pay you just not to work.
00:54:22Yeah, he offered to double what you offered me so that I would quit. And this was
00:54:31what month was this? I go by hair colors. This was probably like, no. When did I November?
00:54:38Maybe? I don't know. And then even then I was like, No, I, I love my job. I love what I do. I
00:54:46love who I am. Like, you're not gonna take everything away from me. Like I said, I would
00:54:51come on the road with you. Because I can still do my job and I can still be me and I could still do
00:54:56my podcast. But he he just didn't want me to do it. And he always made it. He twisted it in my
00:55:02head where he would make me be like, you're better than this. You're better than barstool. You're
00:55:08destined for so much more. Like, he would twist it where it was like, he made me believe. Yeah,
00:55:14fuck that. Maybe I should leave barstool like, but no, I like I love my job. And I love what I do.
00:55:19And like, people have always loved me. And people started to hate me because I became this version
00:55:25of him through dating him. There's so many different ways. There's a lot of there were
00:55:33and it made parts of doing this podcast obviously difficult because like we'd see the follow and
00:55:39follow people want to know or things like cheating scandals and you ate quite a bit of shit like for
00:55:46him and we talked about the distract like the Noah Khan, which was a huge story at like Fenway
00:55:52night to your there everyone's like, Zach supposed to be there he got too drunk. And you were like,
00:56:00no, he's not supposed to be here. Like you guys are crazy on the internet. In hindsight,
00:56:05the internet was right. Like you said, the internet's always almost right a lot of things.
00:56:09So it I don't know how to deal with that. Like how did you constantly kind of carrying his water,
00:56:14especially on like a gossip show like this? Yeah, I mean, I ate so much for that dude. And like,
00:56:21as I would for anyone that I loved or cared about, like I loved him, I was going to protect him. I
00:56:26was I even though I should enough, but I don't know what else other to say than like, when I care
00:56:33about you, like I'm, I'm gonna be loyal to you. And I'm gonna protect you. And I did that over
00:56:38and over and over. And it's embarrassing to look back on because he I don't think he ever defended
00:56:44me. And the only thing I ever really like all I ever got shit for was kind of for like, protecting
00:56:51him and defending him and like fucking my life up for him. And it's just like, I don't know,
00:56:57it's sad that I did so much for him, but it was never reciprocated. I like and I also I want it
00:57:03to be known that I understand people break up and like, that's okay. I this isn't a breakup.
00:57:11Like I went through a traumatic year of emotional abuse and I got broken up with over the phone.
00:57:18He left never saw me again, posted it on Instagram made a raya and like publicly humiliated me,
00:57:28then called me to say it's all my fault. Like this isn't me being like, I was I dated a douchebag
00:57:36that like cheated on me at the bar. No, this is something so much deeper than that. So if people
00:57:43want to say the diss track was immature, me talking about it was immature. You know, what's
00:57:48fucking immature, the way you treated me, the fucking shit that you say the shit that you do
00:57:56that unfollows this, that like everything you did was immature. This is simply a reaction to the way
00:58:02that you treat people. That's all this is. Do you think if he doesn't post the breakup without
00:58:09telling you if he's not on raya like instantly or even before it just, yeah, because no one's
00:58:15making a riot count in 12 hours. And if you are, that's an even worse type of, and to be on it,
00:58:20to be on it that quick and to, to post that. And then for me the next day to already be like a
00:58:28breakup song, it's like this fucking guy's a sociopath. Like what is going on here? First
00:58:34of all, he's trying to, again, control the narrative. Raya stuff gets leaked. So then he
00:58:38posts the story about breaking up with Brie. So no one thinks he's like a cheating scumbag.
00:58:44Oh, forget the, the legends never died truck picture directly after the breakup post.
00:58:49Yeah. Don't forget that. That was fucking crazy. Just can't sleep on that. That made me laugh,
00:58:54but keep going, Josh. No, I, I, I, I honestly, I don't even know where I was going to go from
00:59:00there. I think the thing about this guy is it's just like, you just see this continuous pattern of
00:59:07lies in, in like deceit. Yeah. And also again, I'm putting myself in breach. It's
00:59:14I'm not her, but if this will happen to me and I felt like, you know,
00:59:18you put me through a lot of shit for a year and not only that I've eaten your shit,
00:59:22the Noah Khan, whatever the stories may be. And then this is how you end it. Like
00:59:29was zero respect or no respect. All I wanted was like you to sit down. I want half the decency.
00:59:37Like I have sat down people that I loved and been like, I'm not, I can't do this anymore.
00:59:43I have to break up with you because I did this when I was 22, sat someone down and did that
00:59:48for years. He didn't even have the decency to sit me down and be like, say, tell me I'm not in love
00:59:53with you anymore. Like I'm unhappy. None of that. I still love you. I need you. I need to work on
00:59:58myself. I'm fuck you. You're so emotional goes to Oklahoma. There's like, there's no, like,
01:00:04you don't even have the decency to sit me down and be like provide any closure, a human, just a human.
01:00:10That's all I was asking for throughout the whole entire relationship was communication,
01:00:14some fucking ounce of respect towards me. And then like, you don't just get to dump and shit
01:00:20on people for a year, give them millions of dollars and walk away. Like, ah, I'm the hero.
01:00:25She's going to be taken care of for life. I'm going to be taken care of for life regardless,
01:00:29because I'm me like the, he just always needs the control. Like he, that, that was his final shot
01:00:37at still controlling me and controlling my life with, with that money. And with him being able
01:00:42to walk away, like I did a good thing. You know, I gave her all this money. Who cares about
01:00:46everything I did? She's going to have cash in the bank. Do you think that's like, because all right,
01:00:52we painted a picture of fucking an awful guy. And you've said the pictures, I think you text me that
01:00:57like, he literally had a team watching your social media, like to make sure it was, I guess,
01:01:03Zach approved dickhead to me. That's still like 12 million bucks to just have that story out
01:01:14almost still seems insane to me. Is it because he's that, is there something we're missing that
01:01:20he's hiding that we don't know? Or is it just, he's that he's that sensitive to being outed as
01:01:25a dick, which I think a lot of people sort of already knew maybe not to this extreme,
01:01:30but like, that's a shit ton of money. There's, there's a lot, there's a lot. And like I said,
01:01:40in the beginning of this, like I, I don't want to get on, like, I don't want to get on here and
01:01:48spew like everything about this man and all of his secrets and all of his personal shit. Like
01:01:54I didn't sign that NDA because I didn't want to sign away my experiences.
01:01:58He's going to have to deal with who he is behind a closed door. I don't have to deal with that
01:02:02anymore. And it's not, it's not my job to sit here and like fucking expose the dude, but I have every
01:02:08right to talk about everything he ever did to me and the shit that he put me through and a lot of
01:02:13other girls through. And yeah, it's just like, fuck you. I don't know. I mean, he's clearly
01:02:19done a lot. There's a lot that I'm not saying there's a lot that he did that I'm not saying.
01:02:25And it's almost like, because one, I don't even, it's so hard. I don't even want it out there
01:02:30and I don't want to relive it. Like I genuinely just like want this to rest.
01:02:37Well, the diss track, we'll keep it going for a little bit if we can get that other than that.
01:02:42Even the diss track, like, I'm still like, I feel bad. You guys are making fun of the way
01:02:45he looks and stuff. I'm like, everything else is great. But like, but I'm like, why do I feel bad
01:02:51that I don't feel bad at all? I know, but I'm like, I feel bad. I actually feel good if his
01:02:57feelings are hurt. And I'm like, why do I still feel like that? You see what I'm trying to like?
01:03:00Yeah. But even Hannah's like, why would your feelings be like, why would you be doing all
01:03:05this stuff? Why would your feelings be hurt? But let me, uh, I'll tell you why I don't feel bad.
01:03:09I already told you when they said they were squeezing you because of us, but I am going to
01:03:15read that. Yeah. And you had to know this is coming when he, where is this? Where's this
01:03:21text? You sent me what he said about, and this is when I'm like this fucking guy. All right. Um,
01:03:29here, Brianna sent me this, uh, no, that's not it. Where,
01:03:39no, that's not it. Where's the one, which one are you talking about?
01:03:44Where he called me a retard. Oh, um, that's in the group chat with me when Josh and Austin.
01:03:49Yeah. That's that's with all of us. My steam was coming. All right. Let me pull that. Uh,
01:03:54all right, here we go. And by the way, in the diss track, I don't know, did you know this
01:04:01Bri that he kicked miss peaches out of the dressing room? No, I had no idea that drove me
01:04:07bananas. I think it's driving a lot of people bananas. I heard about it through an ad-lib
01:04:13we're doing ad-libs and Dave just throws in, Dave just throws in, uh, uh, he kicked peaches
01:04:20out of the dressing room. And I was like, wait, what the hell? Like, as we're doing, like,
01:04:24as we're doing the end of the song, we went to the concert and it was, I think Boston's birthday.
01:04:31It was Boston's birthday. You had never met peaches. So I'm like, can I bring peaches?
01:04:35Like, yeah, let's have the dogs meet all this stuff. And of course I asked Zach, I'm like,
01:04:40can miss peaches come? Is that okay? Yes. Green light, green light, green light.
01:04:43And by the way, for anybody who says, I think Bri knew the entire time, people like,
01:04:46why are we up there singing? It's like, uh, I, he didn't miss an opportunity. Yeah. And,
01:04:52and I think Zach knew it was kind of obvious, but whatever big star dating somebody, your friends
01:04:58with he's playing master's go. So we bring the dog, he's got a big dressing room, Boston and
01:05:03Jack are in there. It's a birthday party. I brought little hats. I brought little cakes
01:05:08for the dogs, but yeah, during the concert, you go in and out. So peaches is in the dressing room.
01:05:16Peaches is the least maintenance dog. Other than she'll try to get into stuff. She's as chill as
01:05:21can be, but it's peaches. So I'm walking back and forth to make sure she's okay. I walked in
01:05:28back to check on her and he's just bringing her to this little band dressing room.
01:05:32And he's kind of like, Oh, I hope you don't mind. I'm just moving peaches. What am I going to say?
01:05:36I'm like, okay. But like, I have no idea to this day why he wants to get peaches out of that
01:05:42locker room. And why like the other locker room was actually sort of dangerous for her because
01:05:47there was so much equipment and like crap laying around that I like need to watch her. I don't know
01:05:53why he did that, but it like pissed me off greatly in the moment. Maybe because he didn't want me
01:05:57there. He hates me, but this peaches you kick her out of the locker room. Yeah. It's like, that's a
01:06:02dog. I wish I knew this. So I could have like got the answers for you. I mean, I've never been able
01:06:09to talk to that guy again and get those answers. Yeah. It was, it was, it was that, that happened.
01:06:15Obviously he banned us from the concert. Then he really got us because I wrote for you on the girl
01:06:20who was like trying to trash you. And I wasn't really the family and Dave, he banned me a day
01:06:25from the Vegas concert. Again, maybe that should have been the first sign in a way it was. I was
01:06:31like, that's a little bit like, he's not getting what you do or what we do. Cause we're just like
01:06:38kind of busting balls and stuff. Yeah. I can't find this text of what he said. I texted it to
01:06:44you. Oh, you did. Okay. And again, this is how it's like, how the fuck am I in the middle of
01:06:49this thing right now? But I guess it was always, it was always someone else. Like someone, someone,
01:06:54it would be you. He hated grace. Like it would just be someone else. And then it would be thrown
01:06:59on me. And I'm like, I am me. I'm your girlfriend. So he's basically kicking you out of the house
01:07:04saying this. Um, he says Dave Portnoy, this is Zach extorting me for $12 million and threatening
01:07:14to make a song about me is definitely a change. Ha ha. Like I said, you work for retarded people.
01:07:20First of all, you can't extort. This was their offer. I was just being like either pay her or
01:07:26go away. I know, I know it's not, I wasn't like 12 million are coming for you. And Bri had nothing
01:07:31to do with the diss track. It was all already public information. So, um, but I'm hearing what's
01:07:36going on. So it's again, you work for retarded people. Brie says, again, I'm not Dave, uh,
01:07:41again, directly your boss and your company should just realize this and left in February.
01:07:45Where's the car. Can we talk about the car? What happened to the car?
01:07:49Oh, okay. So I was buying my Bronco. I'm buying my Bronco. I'm so excited. I'm like, I'm buying
01:07:55my first car. Like it's my big first purchase. He won't let me buy the car. He's like, I'm buying
01:07:59you the fucking car. I still think he got the car for free. I don't know. Like he did something with
01:08:04Ford and he gets me the car and I'm like, okay, you get me the fucking car. Like I was so excited
01:08:09to buy the car. I couldn't wait for it. And he buys it for me. And it's my Bronco. I've been
01:08:14driving it around. I've been using it. And I, when we broke up, when this all happened, I texted him,
01:08:19Hey, can I please pay you for the car? Cause this is when I'm, this is from the beginning. I was
01:08:24like, I don't want anything from you. I don't want this house. I don't want money. I want my car. I
01:08:28will pay you the money for the car. He goes, um, no, uh, you can keep the car, consider it a gift.
01:08:34I'm like, are you sure have the text? Yes, I am positive. I said, okay, I'll keep the car. Um,
01:08:40and then when I said I wasn't going to sign anything, which was yesterday when we got those
01:08:45texts, he basically is freaking the fuck out. Um, he said, he's sending someone to come pick the car
01:08:51up at my mom's house to get all of my fucking shit out of it. I'm like, I will pay Zach.
01:08:56I will pay for the car. And he's like, I'm sending someone to come get it.
01:08:59So wait, what happened? Did they take the car? Not yet. So I don't think they can take the car.
01:09:06So Brie texts like joking. She's in, I see the text and Zach's like, I'm going to fucking get
01:09:11that car. You could better have all your shit out of there. I'm going to tow it. And Brie half
01:09:15joke. He's like, wait, unless you pay me this amount of money by like 5 PM. He sends us like
01:09:23wire transfer information. Right. And then, and then blocks me. So I was like, I'll fucking buy
01:09:31that car and I'll just send him a wire for the amount. It'd be like, it would be funny. Yeah.
01:09:36Fuck you. Like, you're not the only one rolling around here with money. Fuck you. It's breeze
01:09:41car. The reason I didn't do that, which we still didn't get an answer. I don't know who's on the
01:09:46title. And I, if, if it's you, which you weren't sure, I don't know if we figured it out. It's
01:09:51like a breeze on the title. I sent him 80 grand. I just sent him 80 grand for free because they
01:09:55cannot take the car from you. If it's under your name, which they still can't, but I would have
01:10:01done that. I was ready to just be like, Hey, fuck you. Um, it's it's breeze car. Just get away.
01:10:06I don't know the whole thing. I mean, it's made me really well, I don't have it yet, but it's
01:10:12made me, I don't know if you're going to be able to see it. We can put it in there. Yeah. I have
01:10:16the picture. I can pull it up. What is it? Oh, you got the champagne. Oh yeah. When I saw,
01:10:23when I saw this going on and he's starting to involve me and I, I, this is going to be the
01:10:29picture. Oh God. Hell yeah. Yeah. It's been a while. Yeah. Yeah. Like keep me out of the more
01:10:36he's hated me the whole time. I wasn't really, I was just trying to advise as best I could. I
01:10:42thought Zach and his lawyers were stalling greatly in the end, probably a huge mistake by
01:10:48them. If they were actually wanting the NDA because when it was all fresh in that amount
01:10:54of money, but the more it went on, the more it dragged, it just went away. So fuck him extorting
01:10:59him. There's something like saying it's a felony. Dave's going to jail. It's like, what the fuck
01:11:04are you talking? You think this is my first rodeo son? Well, that's the thing they try to skate.
01:11:07Like they kept just trying to scare me and scare me. And they, they even got me like scared me
01:11:11into wanting to sign it. I never wanted to sign it. And then I got, he was like, well, then we're
01:11:15going to war. That's the classic lawyer. That's the class. I don't know him. They think that
01:11:19they're like the scariest people in the world. And they're, they're not. No, I'm like, what are
01:11:24we going to go to war? What are you, what is your AMO? Like, what are we going to war about? All I
01:11:30ever did was be a fool and fucking love you. Yeah. And it's what we said from the beginning.
01:11:35You can't, as long as you always tell the truth, you're not going to get sued. I don't even know
01:11:40that an NDA I've said that from the beginning, I don't know how enforceable it is in the end.
01:11:44They, they want, it was so crazy. They want Brie. And I don't know how they thought this would ever
01:11:50work. Like that Josh and I had to be, first of all, we didn't even know anything, but like,
01:11:56in what world do you think that's going to work? And all of Barstool sports,
01:12:02they put all of Barstool sports in it. Like I'm the fucking CEO. I'm like, I'm just a girl again.
01:12:10You're not the dictator of BFFs, even what they're doing, running around with this
01:12:14diss track. Like it's going to be up. It's going to get it. Like what
01:12:20are you that insecure? Like it just draws more attention to us. Nuts to me. Okay.
01:12:26We've confirmed the Fenway. That was a big thing. The night to shout out Jessica on the back.
01:12:31Wait, I do have, I do have something that I think I just need to get off my chest.
01:12:36I think you got to get it off too. One morning, like we were out the night before and one morning
01:12:42I like woke up or I was like scrolling Tik TOK and last night we let the liquor talk was stuck
01:12:46in my head. And I walk up the stairs in the New York apartment and I'm singing, like,
01:12:50I'm about to like make breakfast or something like last night we let the liquor talk.
01:12:55He freaked the fuck out. Like freak the fuck out. I, he could not believe you're singing another
01:13:01man's song under my roof in this house that I own. Like all, like it was a fight for, I think,
01:13:07a week. I came up the stairs saying last night we let the liquor talk. What is, is that anybody
01:13:14or was there, is there like specific beef or something with like Morgan Wallen song?
01:13:19No, I know that, but like, what's he care about? Like there's a lot of songs. Like is it specific
01:13:25to Morgan? I think he, I think he really doesn't like Morgan Wallen. I think he really hates
01:13:30Morgan Wallen. I think he feels inferior to Morgan Wallen. I also, I was like not really
01:13:37allowed to listen to Noah Cahan. I listened to him too much. I thought they were friends.
01:13:43I thought I was friends with Zach too. So Noah Cahan just ate shit. I mean, he, he, he just
01:13:49lied. One in the same. Yeah. He just lied. Why? Like he must be happy. He must be like,
01:13:55fuck, finally somebody said, said the truth because that would drive me insane.
01:14:00Yeah. Well, Zach was just like, he was supposed to be the guest and then he didn't go. He canceled
01:14:04last because he got shit faced. Yeah. I think he was drunk and I wasn't with him, but he was
01:14:08drunk and canceled on him. So I don't know what he said to cancel for, but canceled the night before
01:14:13or the day before jingle all the bells, deck all the halls, make the snowman extra frosty because

01:15:11comfortable. Check them out. Um, last topic, more serious one. We got to touch it a lot of
01:15:17the state. And I know there's been back and forth. I had one little line. Like I think it's
01:15:22fair to say if there's no Zach, Brian, you and grace friendship probably is in a better spot
01:15:31than it is currently. But how are you guys doing? Good. I took, we're texting last night. She loved
01:15:38the distract. Is it improving now that like he's out of the picture and by the way, personal
01:15:44experience, even if Zach isn't the biggest dickhead, whoever walked down the street,
01:15:52lifelong friends, when one gets a serious boyfriend, always test the relationship,
01:15:56throw on the fact that you've got a colossal asshole. I can see how that on both sides would
01:16:01create issues. Um, I love both you guys. I hope it works out. Now me and grace will always be fine.
01:16:08There is, there's, there's something huge in this, which kind of like demolished our relationship.
01:16:18Um, I don't know. Got it. Do it. No, I think you got it. You got it. You can always cut it if you
01:16:26want. Yeah. Okay. Um, so for my birthday, Zach got a house for like my family and I, um, and all my
01:16:36friends in New Hampshire. And he was on tour and he had like a three, three or four days off. So
01:16:42he could come to my birthday and he kept like making it this big deal. He's like, I can't
01:16:48believe I'm fucking leaving tour to come to your birthday. I'm like, you don't have to come. Like,
01:16:52honestly, I know it's going to be bad if you come. So you don't have to come. Like, I'm so grateful
01:16:55for the house, whatever. You don't have to come to my birthday. And he's like, I'm not going to
01:16:59fucking miss your birthday. Then I'm like, then stop saying this to me. Stop making me feel bad
01:17:03that you're coming to my birthday. I don't care if you're here at this point. That little story
01:17:08sums him up to a T, but continue. Yeah. Um, yeah. So anyways, he comes to my birthday and, um,
01:17:16he gets there and he's all kind of weird. He's acting funny. Um, it's whatever. I'm like,
01:17:20whatever. He just got off tour. It's always an excuse. Like something's going on. And the,
01:17:26the night starts and we all like sit around the fire and it's pretty chill. It's actually really
01:17:31chill. Um, it's all of like my family and my friends and, uh, we're sitting around the fire
01:17:37and he starts, he just starts doing what he does, like throwing jabs. And I'm like, what the fuck?
01:17:42Like from across the fire, like throwing jabs at my friends and like calling people idiots. And like,
01:17:48I'm like, okay, it's 11, it's 1130. I'm going to go to bed before, like, I was so excited. It was
01:17:54going to be my birthday at midnight. We're going to like do the champagne or whatever. I'm like,
01:17:57I got to go to bed before my birthday. Hopefully he will follow me to bed. So I'm like, good night,
01:18:02guys. I love you. Everyone's like, Bri, what the fuck? Why are you, why are you going to bed? Like
01:18:06it's your birthday in 10 minutes. I'm like, I got to go to bed. I'm like, Zach, let's go to bed.
01:18:10Um, he doesn't follow me. I go upstairs. I'm, I go to sleep and I wake up like probably an hour and
01:18:19a half later to like screaming. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? So I go downstairs
01:18:26into the basement of this house and it's like all my girlfriends crying and they're all like in it.
01:18:32So I'm like, what the fuck happened? What's going on? And then I look outside and I have my aunt,
01:18:37like trying to control Zach. And there's a recording of all of this that can never be out.
01:18:44Basically Zach just, we're all hanging around the fire. And I guess he stood up at the fire
01:18:48and just starts screaming at my friends. You're not going to be anything. You're a fucking loser.
01:18:52Like just the most horrible shit. Like you're never going to make it. Like you live off of
01:18:58other people, like just crazy out of nowhere. And I'm like, what the fuck? But when Zach's in this
01:19:03zone, there's no, there's no containing it. So my aunt's trying to figure it out, whatever. I,
01:19:09I bring him up to bed. He smashes glass, wake up in the morning. I'm like, you have to leave Zach.
01:19:15Like you have to apologize. Like this is crazy. And like, they kind of, they didn't squash it
01:19:20obviously, but it was like, we'll be civil today so that Bri can have one day. And ever since then,
01:19:29it was just awful. And Zach every night, like I would be trying to go to sleep on the bus and he
01:19:34would just come in and just start recording me and be like, are you, is it okay if I'm recording you
01:19:40since your friends fucking record me and everyone fucking around you records me all the time. And
01:19:44he would just record. I have the craziest videos. Maybe that's why the $12 million is involved.
01:19:49Cause I have a lot of shit that I'm never going to put out there because it's embarrassing for me.
01:19:54And I don't want my future kids to see it, but that's probably where the $12 million comes from.
01:20:00That explains a ton. I mean, I've met a guy like this. I've met a guy like this
01:20:07explains smashing glass, yelling at women. Like this is just like,
01:20:12Oh, look at my phone. It's smashed from him. He's always smashed my phone.
01:20:20So as in like what, take it out of your hand and throw it on the ground.
01:20:24Yeah. Take it out of my hand and just whip it off a wall.
01:20:27It's starting to become a little more evident. Why the 12 minutes, there's signs pointing it.
01:20:33I think it's good that you told that story. Like, I think that story should be told. I think it
01:20:40explains a lot. Everyone in my personal life knew what I was going through. Just no one in
01:20:44the real world does. And I never thought they would because I didn't want to ever say it, but
01:20:49I'm over it now. It's not over it, but I'm out of it so I can understand what I went through.
01:20:54And I feel comfortable talking about it now. I'm not stuck in it anymore.
01:21:00That's crazy. Yeah. That's wild. Explains a lot more to be honest, but
01:21:07yeah, that's all I have. Bree, I texted you this after you decided it was over and this thing went
01:21:17to shit and it was clear you weren't taking the money. It wasn't meant to be public, but
01:21:23I'm proud of the decision. I think you would have regretted it no doubt in a year, two years. You're
01:21:29not that person. You're never, and I don't even care. You make for most civilians great money
01:21:35anyways, and I think your career will blossom. But even if you weren't, even if you were making
01:21:4040 to 50, from what I know of you, and I feel like I know you pretty well at this point,
01:21:47it's crazy. I don't know how you ended up in this cycle, but people do all the time.
01:21:52Yeah. You never think it's going to be you. And that's why I didn't take the money and the message
01:22:00I want to get out there. It's like, so many people go through this and are scared to leave
01:22:06or think they're always going to be stuck in it or after it ends or after you're in this discard
01:22:10phase of a narcissist that you have no self-worth, and it's not true. And if I can go through it and
01:22:16I can be okay in front of everyone, then you can too. And if you don't have the support system
01:22:22or the friends that I'm so grateful and lucky to have, you have me now and everything's going to
01:22:29be okay. There's always another side to things. And I'm so grateful that I got out of it. And
01:22:35it's for the better. And only good things can happen from this. And I'm really,
01:22:42really proud of not taking the money, the decision I made. And I hope that people can
01:22:48kind of understand and see what I was going through for the past year and kind of see
01:22:54why I lost myself and why I wasn't who I was prior to the man, that guy, the smallest man.
01:23:04Well, we're glad to have you back. Yeah.
01:23:07Yeah. I'm so fucking glad to be back. Just be myself again. I can't wait.
01:23:12No more dictatorship over here.
