Yes.

People discovered the podcast.

Like, it was already huge.

But Dave Portnoy was on socials talking about it.

He made merch about it, like, for Team Sophia or Team Alex.

He also took over the feed because his company owned it at the time.

He took over the feed when the girls were refusing to podcast and, like, released an episode that was just him talking about it.
