Josh Richards on Portnoy's book: 'All positive'

Josh Richards initially felt apprehensive regarding Dave Portnoy's memoir, 'Cancel Me If You Can,' due to potential discussions about him. Richards, who co-hosted the 'BFFs' podcast with Portnoy, expressed that his concerns were unfounded, learning that the book's content about him was positive. He has not yet read the book himself but is anticipating receiving a copy.

The former cohosts, along with Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia, concluded their "BFFs" podcast in 2025 after five years, citing a need for a new chapter and a feeling that the show had plateaued. Richards emphasized that the separation was amicable, with all parties remaining on good terms and continuing to socialize.

Richards is now focused on his sketch comedy series, "Read the Room." He highlighted significant improvements in season two, including advancements in acting, guest selection, and overall production quality. The new season, featuring guests like Chris Redd and Harry Jowsey, is set to premiere in August.
