Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards came to the defense of their co-host of the «BFFs» podcast, Brianna LaPaglia, after her breakup with Zack Bryan. Both announced their breakup publicly on social media when 28-year-old Bryan shared on his Instagram stories: «I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our separate ways. I am not perfect and never will be. Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this, and if you have it in your heart, mine too». This breakup shocked 25-year-old Brianna, as she felt betrayed by their sudden breakup.
In response, Dave took it upon himself to write a diss track aimed at the singer «Pink Skies» titled «The Smallest Man». The 47-year-old media personality expressed in a video posted on the X podcast account: «Alright, you think that’s it? You think we’re just gonna drop 'The Smallest Man'? I’ll write 10,000 diss tracks». He added, «Maybe we’ll do 'Dave's Version' - I heard Bri might come into the studio and record her version».
