Smitty & Dave Situation

Couldn't help but notice Dave started shitting on Smitty out of the blue in various content shows over the past two weeks when he was radio silent on him since his meltdown in Oct till end of Dec. I'm guessing he (Dave) called for an update on when Smitty was coming back after the new year and Smitty is playing Dave by saying he's not ready yet which royally pissed Dave off. So I guess Dave thinks if he's paying him to do nothing, the least he can do is get to shit on him till his contract expires.
