Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. This was a big moment. I think this is like a watershed moment at Barstool, to be honest. I think there's a lot of implications with the people who gamble and the regular content people, the people who are going to be working in New York versus the people who are not. I think this is really going to change the landscape of Barstool a little bit. Alright, it's another edition of KFC Radio. It's our Monday Inside Barstool episode.

We got to break down the Rico Bosco saga. You may have seen the clip of us earlier or late last week discussing it when we were interviewing with Large, but at that point we didn't know if the situation had gone fully public. We didn't know how much. We're good soldiers. We're like Nazis. We're like, until I knew it was public, I wasn't going to talk about it.

You guys made it public. Now we'll talk about it. Good soldiers keep quiet. That is part of it. I'm telling you what's happening behind closed doors. That actually is totally part of it though. If people want to handle things internally, if you want to keep it in the clubhouse we can do that uh but certain circumstances arise like you bring it to dave or you're involving

outside barstool people if cons and rico handled that privately i wouldn't come out today being like no rico bosco was a fucking scumbag and we need to punish him. It's like, no, they just handled their shit. That's fine. But he went to Dave with it, so it becomes public. And then that becomes, you know,

you got to comment on the content. And it involves a civilian, as we've been calling it. And so that feels like an entirely different, that changes everything. That makes it an entirely different situation that you have to approach from a completely different angle when i was when i did a little the high high council with dan and dave i i didn't i learned that um when the whole thing started because when rico scored the penalty kick yeah yeah at cyber mond, Conor said...

Great shot, by the way. Yeah, it was. It was a really nice shot. And that's the essence of Rico. That should have been the moment where he stood there and clowned Nadeau and, like, basked in his glory and instead was storming out of the place because Con said to him,

Nice shot, Terry. And he can't take when people use his real name. If Con's had not made that public, and... I guess even cons didn't make it public. Cons told Dave. Cons told Dave. You don't make that public, or it's got to be like a

I have faith that you're not going to do it again sort of thing. Yeah. And with Rico, it's like there really is... No faith. No faith. No faith. No faith. And that's what it comes down to. I guess I'm not articulating it well here.

I guess my thought is like I know I was so outspoken during that show with Dan and Dave, and I still absolutely feel the way I feel. But it's not out of like – I really don't think Rico's like dangerous. I don't think he's going to like come to the office and harm anybody. I think he's a wacko, and I think he had two really, really bad fuck-ups. And that's, you know, to say that. And then if there's a third, we sound like idiots. But I don't think he's a literal danger to people.

It's hard to say that, because in my head I'm like, well, he was. But I guess my point, my feelings about it are more about the hypocrisy that goes on, more so than the, like, we need to keep the workplace safe and all that kind of shit. Well, it is funny because I agree with you. And before we even get into anything, no, like, Rico's going to work here. That's it. It is. No one's calling for anyone's job.

Rico's going to work here. I hate doing that, too. Even if it's totally warranted, I don't like people getting fired. I don't want that on my conscience. You know, whatever. He's going to be an employee here. I will have nothing to do with him. Oh, yeah.

Basically, the fake, insane beef Rico had for four years, Rico and I had. And by the way, as I'm saying that, I know it doesn't fucking matter at all. I'm not being like, oh, I won't fuck with Rico, thinking that matters at all. It doesn't matter. He's going to do what he's always done. They'll do his gambling thing and they'll – the people who associate will associate and that will be fine. That will be their thing. That shit is a non-starter with me.

I don't fucking deal with the fucking anonymous bullshit because we deal with it a lot here. Yeah. I feel like that's – There's been numerous occasions. It's one of those things with me where it is like – we've referenced this a weird amount of times the domer scene when he's fucking playing with the guts and he realizes like i have a fucked up brain yeah like it is a problem for me to have like you have a fucked up brain i think i think if you do something like that where you have anonymous you're an anonymous person and you're attacking regular people i think you are

irredeemable as a person i think you are there's something wrong with you. Like, sincerely, there's something wrong with you. I think you're a shitty person and there's really no coming back from that with me. Right. Unless you, like, radically change your brain. Like, if you I don't know. Like, if you, you know, there are people who, you know, you're a murderer and you go to jail and you, like, rehabilitate yourself and you come out and then you're, like, an advocate and all that shit.

Like, you know, you can't say that you can't be, like, totally unfixable. But I think you're pretty close to unfixable. You think so? If you're doing anonymous shit to... Yeah. Because, dude, you know what I want more than anything in the world? More than anything in the fucking world, man.

I want a regular Instagram that I can just have with my friends. And I'm like, that's a whole new account. And I don't do it. So you're creating multiple accounts to just harass wives? There's something wrong with you there's something genuinely fucking wrong and that was what i wanted to say now that i'm thinking more clearly so to me but uh fuck we're gonna be stepping over to the here because i think we have things we want to say yeah so it's not gonna segue well yeah yeah well i was should we

just start this over no no no i let him get messy because it doesn't look for hers yeah yeah the uh what i was gonna say was the when you were, like, I don't think he's actually dangerous, I completely agree with that. I don't – and, yeah, this might be an old takes exposed. I can't think about that. But the, like – I know third floor people because they're the most dramatic assholes here. Yeah. We're, like, sending texts to people being like, should I be scared to come to the office?

No, you fucking idiot. You should be scared to come to the office. There's a couple people who should be afraid of Rico. The people that beef with him. He's not going to come in and harm anybody who's not needling him and calling him Terry and all that kind of shit, because those are the people he wants to kill.

Like, yeah, is he a danger to Big T? Probably. I don't know. You know? Don't fuck with the person who's a psychopath and you'll be fine. You ever been out in public before? No, but so that was kind of my second point was like, if it wasn't made public or if this was just barstool people, if this was just Rico fucking with cons.

Yeah. I don't have a problem. I mean, I have a problem with it. You're an asshole. But I'm not even wasting a minute of my time talking about it. It's the fact that it was, you know, a family member and an outsider. And I like that needs to be like crystal clear because there's two elements to it. There's the like the hypocr hypocrisy of what Rico does

and what his punishment should be. And then there's the way that Barstool is specifically handling it. And I think Dave sent an email to the whole company basically saying if he really thought that Rico was a true danger, he'd be gone, kind of what we're saying. If anything even happens or someone has a complaint or whatever, he will be gone. But this is what you signed up for with barstool this is you know we basically set out to kind of create a reality tv show that's not a reality tv show like there is no scripted there

are no fabric i know people think that this is fake but i think by now you can tell it's as real as it gets uh and when you sign up here you you kind of – I mean, are there any other reality shows that are really like that? You know what I mean? Like I do feel like the Kardashians probably are like, all right, let's like at least turn this into material or whatever. Like where it's truly just like bad shit, real-life bad shit happens, and we're going to like do it. It's going to be a part of what we do and a part of our show and all that. So when you work at Barstool, there's a reason why 50,000 people were watching that live. I do think you're saying an important thing here when you work at Barstool. And that's why his wife is the problem.

I think that's what everyone says. It's miles over the line. As far as the other people being like... It's like when people say, if he was in any other place, he'd be fired. It's like – Yeah. He's not in any other place, though. No fucking kidding.

So who fucking cares? It's like office jobs are different than professional sports. Locker rooms are different than reality TV show sets are different than blog media companies. If I went to work every day at a regular job at 11 a.m i'd probably get fired right there's a million things that are different but so that is a weird like in between where it's like we're acknowledging that it's way over the line but i also feel like yeah rico was still gonna work here because like what we're doing some real life truman show shit where it's just like we you put the cameras on,

you put all these people under the roof, and you're going to watch what happens. It is. People are going to get drunk. People are going to fuck. People are going to fight. People are going to apparently harass other family members. And it's like this is the madness that is Barstool. It's also why it's a half-a-billion-dollar company. Yeah, it is.

It is. Yeah. No, you're 100% right. It is like I'm glad. It's entertaining to me from an outside. Like I get it 100%. Yeah, for sure. I do not fault anyone. And like there are parts that I laugh at.

I'm like this is fucking crazy. But I think it is important to hammer home like there are people at Barstool who you laugh with. And this goes to the world. And then people you laugh at. And Rico is very much a laugh atter. I mean you people you laugh at and and rico's very much a laugh at her there's i mean you know who laugh at our it's dave and dan like to talk about their whack packs the people in the laugh pack are you laugh at them yes yes it's it's not really they they don't really bring anything to the table other than mental illness which is funny

don't get me wrong mental illness is fucking hilarious yeah but but if you look at the whack pack but when you have a whack pack of mentally ill people, it gets messy. Take a look at Howard Stern's whack pack. Where are they? A couple of sexual assaults, I imagine. I'm sure. A few jail stints.

Maybe a suicide or two in the mix. And a couple of people dead. Yeah. Some deaths, some jail, and some addicts. That's how it ends here, folks. That's how it ends. Why are we pretending

it's going to end any different way? That's how it ends here. That's why I like when Kirk talked to us all those years ago on that TV right there. And he was like, oh, no, no, this will end poorly. This will end poorly. Like, I will be, you know, it will end. I will be angry. There will be a fight.

And that's how this shit works when you sign up to be, you know, one of those people. And the problem is when you're one of those people and you cannot admit it and you do not realize it. I think that's the entire whack pack. No, no, no, no, no. But yes, but like Jersey Jerry, I think, understands exactly what the deal is and is just like happy to be. Jersey Jerry is way more material than I thought he was. We'll talk about him and his army in a minute. I don't think.

Oh, boy. him and his army in a minute i i don't think oh boy uh i don't think um there is any other members of the whack pack that would hardball negotiate and think that they are more important than they are on the level of rico i would agree with that three presidencies though so so so that dan and dave's like main thing when i was by the way it's been great pr for me all i had to do this week was have a completely rational human adult electronic harassment is bad and you're like electronic electronic targeted anonymous harassment not Not a fan. Not good. It's like, this guy.

Yeah. This guy. Yeah. And the hypocrisy, though. I mean, I do not think Dan and Dave, like, it registered to them at all that the two comparisons of Hank and Rhea and Marty and Rhea and Hank versus Rico were going to be made. And when you do that, it's completely hypocritical and i know dave dave stood by it he was like i still think those two things are bad he didn't he didn't say equally as bad but he was basically insinuating that and that is just fucking lunacy yeah and that is dave and and

you're not going to convince him otherwise i thought dave i thought dave i thought you and i'm quite biased here i thought you were far and away came up the best in that you can't buy it but again all you had to do was say I think targeted harassment is bad

which but Dave fucking cracked me up he was so funny sometimes he did when he said fucking he's talking about Rico

and he says these two things like they're equal and then like Dave said they probably are he goes that's just Rico he'll attack your wife won't block bang bang I fucking lost it

attack your wife he won't block bang bang bang that's how Rico does it Mindbloom Mindbloom is the leader in at home ketamine therapy offering a combination of science-backed medicine with clinician and guide support for people looking to improve their mental health and well-being.

I remember saying to him, you're vouching for this dude you you're putting the dave portnoy name and brand on the line for this guy and i was like you know you're gonna put your whole reputation out there for rico bosco and he goes well i don't like when you say it that way but that's kind of what's going on here you maniacs uh but that that was their main thing they said um that they they don't want they don't they said that they don't want they don't want to get fired

they don't want it on their conscience that was the thing that was hard for me to understand where they kept being like he called me crying that he won't be able to provide for his family he quit for a raise so why would he not be able to provide for his family well now he's not getting any job of any kind but I think that further proves the point that there never was an accepted job offer.

I agree with that. But also, once you quit for a raise, I can't have this. I know one other thing they said was like, what if it was someone from KS Radio who's like a side character? Bro, if it came out that you were an honestly harassing people, we're not a side character. We would probably break up. Did you see the mom there was a teenage girl that had a cyber bully for a year and she found out it was her own fucking mother right i would i get i know why dave's trying to say that because i know you know it's i think it's easy no matter who you are to sit in the situation and decide

what's black and white what's wrong and right but it's a smidge harder for dan and dave because they do have this history with them if anybody here did it like i cannot tell you how fast you would be gone because it's because it's fucking psycho yeah like like and this if anyone's gonna do it it's gonna be you i think not you because you didn't use social media let me let me catch colleen with a burner or something like that like i but that's also because i have like a zero tolerance cannot take that it's a trigger of mine and a hot button issue and it should be for like everybody if you haven't really gone through that it's like you know people are like what are you doing like send some some tweets? It's like, no, no, no, no. You do not understand what it does to you. Right.

And maybe like – It is like – and that was actually something I wrote down because people were – it wasn't a lot, but there were people – which is actually a funny, nice little thing I've now tricked my brain into. Anyone who disagrees with me on the internet now, I'm like, that's fucking Rico. It is nice. It is nice. Yo, I've been getting some go fuck yourself kill yourself dms just because i said uh you guys know therapy

is free for us right and i'm like yeah how am i getting go kill myself from this every every single time someone says anything to me i'm like all right rico's rico's in his feelings yeah um but the uh oh the a few of the responses i got were one people were comparing you which is fucking insane like we have to address that because there were enough responses. Bro. The fact that people even conflate those two is fucking bananas. People conflate everything with my affair and divorce. I mean, I've been compared to rapists and murderers and shit.

So this is not even anything. Yeah, like me. People are like, why did you quit when why didn't i what are you talking about when again like almost like the uh marty and ria like why didn't i quit when two adults had a consensual relationship i don't know i'm never gonna quit for that i was unhappy in a marriage didn't know how to handle it or get out of it made some choices that were then made public and that's the same so that's it that's what happened public. And that's the same. That's it.

That's what happened. And that's the same as someone who chooses the wife of a co-worker anonymously tries to blow up their marriage. In what world are those two things? They're genuinely not. I mean, it's just not even fucking. The only thing, there are wives in both stories. That's about it.

There were two people who were wives, and that's really the only comparison. But I also do know that people just say, well, in general, you don't get to speak about the moral high ground of anything. But I don't think you're taking the moral high ground. It's not a moral high ground to say murder is bad. It's not a moral high ground to say murder is bad it's not a moral high ground to say targeting fucking innocent

civilians and it sounds weird to say civilians but like yeah that's really what people are not not in this world targeting innocent civilians is bad if you want to you're going to take the other side of this argument against me because you don't like what happened with my marriage like no there's just a clear black and white right and wrong so it doesn't matter jeffrey dahmer could tell you this it's fucking it's a fact i wouldn't have done that jeffrey dahmer like that guy's an asshole seems like a bridge too far rico i mean i i i throw my hands up uh i it will never stop like there i don't think there will ever be a time or a situation where people will not say, but you cheated on your wife. I don't think it will ever stop.

I don't know. It's fascinating. It's been years. Everybody has moved on. Full families have, you know, there is no end in sight. So I just continue. I'm just going to continue to talk about situations. Just start swallowing water towards the bottom of the ocean. Let's get this

over with. But I'm just, I'm always going to give my opinions on these things and I will continue to be right and you will continue to be stupid about your fucking equating of these two topics. But yeah, there was enough of those. The other thing was, and you kind of

said this, you don't understand unless you've been through it. Some of the replies I got, too, were like, and this is a miniscule. I think this is, if you're going to put this through an internet poll, 90-10. I don't think this is something that came up on the show, too. If you put this through an office poll, 95-5. Internet poll, I'll give it 90-10 because there are plenty of trolls who are going to be like, this isn't wrong.

Yeah, yeah. But the – I got a lot of people being like, how are you surprised that people at Barstool have burners? I'm not surprised. I'm surprised at how they use them. And I've seen catfish before. I know how like it's like a disease where like you kind of get sucked into it. I don't fucking accept that. I don't get it, but like, yeah.

I don't accept that. But I know when the burner shit came out, people were saying that it started as they were piping themselves up. And then it kind of devolves into taking other people down. And I think you're sick. I think you're a genuinely sick person. And if you fall yourself into that, I don't know if there's something wrong with you. But people were like, how are you surprised about it and then people were like it's the internet it's not real life that does not work with me anymore bro that didn't that worked in like

1994 the internet is far like the whole like you know like back in like i remember like in middle school being like cyber bullying is not real just don't go online it's it's impossible now right you have to be online i do i do love that one famous tweet. Yeah, yeah. Just close your eyes. Just close your eyes. But now we're at a point where it's like... Bro, we're talking about the metaverse. We're almost done with this world.

Yeah. The internet is the real world. Right. The real world's fake world. Yeah. The internet's the real world now. That is true. And people are like, oh, how can it be real if it's on the internet?

Dude, if you haven't been through it, you don't understand. You really don't. It is fucking... It's just not good. And and it's also like that's my best way to describe it it's bad it is fucking i mean it will ruin it can absolutely ruin you and your psyche and and your family and your friends and it sounds like he probably sent a couple tweets or dms or whatever to alex and that's it but like who knows how many other people got messages. Who knows? When you – and this, I guess, opens up the discussion to the armies and the lieutenants and stuff.

So Jersey Jerry – when Dave said – when Dave described this, I did not think we were talking about real life. Like, I could not believe. It's the internet. How could it be? Like, in reality, Rico Bosco went to Jersey Jerry and said, I need one of your guys. And Jerry went on Twitter and DM'd a a guy saying i have a job for you and then that guy had the fucking the moral conscience and the wherewithal to say i'm not going to do this um but that's all real those guys play mafia those guys play sopranos they do

they do make i don't like texting with my fucking friends, let alone insane Barstool fans. And that's why I very strongly, because Dave loves that. Dave thinks that's hilarious. It is funny to laugh at. If we want to talk about it, it's mental illness and it's fucking insane. I don't even know how funny. I get it. It's funny to be like, holy shit.

When I read that, I'm like, what the fuck? And that's funny. I'm technically laughing. It's almost like your reaction is the funny part. If I saw other companies doing this, other people, I am mortified that this is a barstool. Yeah, like if there's like Bleacher Report fans. Oh my God. Oh my God.

Like the Bleacher Army sends out hits. I'd be like, you guys are fucking losers. So I got to keep it real. I think you're losers if you do that and i talked to jerry and i was like i know that you're more it's it's i think i hope a little more of a joke with jerry and he's a little bit more aware that it's more just about like hyping up jerry but um i think if you do that if you're one of the leaders of it if you are one of the participants of it or if you think that that's like really funny if you're like that's fucking

really funny you're a loser like i think that's like really funny, if you're like, that's fucking really funny, you're a loser. Like, I think that's like straight up the biggest loser. Like you're playing, you're like internet LARPing. I was just about to say that. Yeah.

It's fucking LARP online. You're LARPing online. Like you're a bunch of fucking lose. And the real problem is, you know, Jerry said, like my guys know. And first of all, I can't even.

Like, when he says boot camp, did he, like, actually have, like, a training? He said my guys know to delete all the messages. That would be awesome if Jersey Jerry's army has more of a training than Barstool's. It sounds like Jerry has more of a, like. We don't even teach you how to blog here. Jersey Jerry's teaching you how to fucking act at boot camp. So if that's real We hire you before you learn how to blog and then we don't teach you

The problem with that though Is you cannot trust Internet strangers To be in on the joke Especially the ones that are willing to be a part of Internet mafias We always have this problem with Barstool fans where we don't send out the hit,

but we have a problem with someone. We write a blog about it, talk about it on a podcast, and then those people go and attack. And that's been the age old question. Are you responsible for your fans? Should you have to tell them to stop? What can you do to get them to stop all that shit?

And cause every time they're, they're, they're not funny. They're too aggressive. They don't know what they're doing you can't trust the randoms on the internet and it sounds funny we keep saying civilians but it's like in you know they're in this world the people who are like we're talking about an army yeah you're an army you're a civilian in this case it works very well yeah earlier made it sound stupid right now it makes sense but like jerry and and and anybody else doing this being like no no like my crew of internet weirdos are cool and know what's up no like one of them's gonna take it too far and harass a wife or a kid or do

something you know you cannot trust anybody on the internet let alone the people who are taking it that seriously they will be they will be out of line at some point, and then you are going to be responsible for them. I just – I mean I can't even wrap my mind around that one. Anybody being like, I'm in the Jersey Jerry office. It is just – Like you wake up in the morning, you check your phone to see if you have a job. Did the lieutenant reach out to me last night? Is there any fucking – is there any wife I need to harass right now?

They've got to be like 15-year-old kids, right? They've got to be like children. I would guess no. I would guess it's men with wives I don't like, and they're using a little surrogate. I mean, you know what? I'll attack Kahn's wife. Probably attacking their own wives. You're so goddamn weird.

You're so fucking weird. And I – never has being normal been more important than it has been. It's been the motto, man. And I so hard at this company, but just be fucking normal. And like, I don't know. Don't you get sick of being laughed at? If you're one of you, you're like, we're laugh at or not a laugh with her. If you're a sidekick or whatever, don't you get sick of that?

I well, we're talking about it with Hank. Well, I guess that was the founding of the about it with Hank. With Rico. That was the founding of the whole thing. Yes. Now Rico's just going to be laughed at forever. That is the problem. You do get sick of it and you either have to accept it for what... So there's two things. It's like,

are you good enough to not be laughed at? Because then you do what Hank did. And he made a move and made it happen and now he's like a rock star. If you're not good enough, you have to either A, accept that life and take because then you do what Hank did. And he like made a move and made it happen. And now he's like a rock star. If you're not good enough, you have to either A, accept that life and take the beating every day and you're just happy to be in the locker room.

You know, it's like, do you want to be like the 12th man off the bench who like all you got to do is like wash the socks of the starters, but you get to be on the team and you're happy, then okay. Or if it drives you crazy and it hurts you and harms you and upsets you,

then you fucking quit. Then you get out. That is really like – I mean there's a million points here. I think our main one is targeted harassment is bad. Yeah. But the – In our convoluted talk here, let's just keep on that message. Let's just keep hammering that one home.

Targeted harassment of civilians. But the – like that is one of the – you brought it up. I think – I don't know if you – I don't know how strongly you brought it up on the high council meeting. But like Rico has been the number one avoider of this. Like it is the most hypocritical thing I've ever heard in my life. Right, right. It has been – you can't call him Terry. You can't fucking mention his family.

You can't do this because he doesn't want to have to deal with that shit. And then he's the one doing it. And then you bring it to someone else's doorstep. By the way, bring it to someone else's doorstep who can rip your fucking head off. Yeah, for real. Cons has been polite enough to not make this physical. Cons can fucking rip your throat out of your fucking neck, dude. That's not even going to do with being in the army.

Cons is just a thick, strong boy. For real. Rico has been the only person. and I used to really like it. I feel like when I told the story about how Child Protective Services got called on me by some anonymous person to this day, I still don't know. I have a couple guesses of who it could be, if it was like an inside job or it could just be a random person. What if you found out that was an inside job? What would you do? What if you found out that was Rico?

Throw him a blanket party? I mean, yeah, for real like i don't even know if that was him i i i have never engaged in enough of that world to even know what i would have you know what i mean yeah it's like i i guess we talked about it the other day like how many people do you could how many people would it take for you to call to kill somebody? I have one guy I could call. I would call George. And I would be like, George, what are the options? I need one of your guys, George. Hey, George, Kevin Klanza here. Do you want any guys to carry out a hit for me? If I found that out, I would be reduced to behaving like that.

Yeah, I mean, and then Rico would always come up to me and be like i just don't ever want anything like that to happen to me and my family and i'm like and i was always like because i think a lot of people like who heard that were like wow that's fucked up and then they just like gloss over it and it's just like part of hey that happens you know and rico was actually the one guy who was always like that is so fucking horrible and i was like thank you man yeah it really was it was like the worst thing that's ever happened to me and he's one of them he's fucking one of them and like and i did see every time it's shocking and every time it's always the way every time it's it's always the the homophobes are the gay guys and and you know it's always the

way and i did see somebody some people being like, he told you guys not to talk about his family. And, like, look what you're doing. Now, obviously, at this point, that's insane. All bets are off. You don't get an ounce of grace from anybody anymore because you have, you know, completely. I think he doesn't. I don't know because I don't talk to him. I don't know.

I don't think maybe it does register. I know he was just, like, blogging on Friday like he was regular. I know, like, when I tweeted, like, I tweeted just like it's so goddamn weird or whatever, I said something about it. I was inundated with texts from Barstool employees being like, thank you. Oh, my God. I don't think he realizes. I don't think Dave and Dan realize.

Again, they did their gambling thing. I will speak for the non-gamblers because I've talked to almost 100% of them. It's like you're dead. When they 60 40 that was crazy they said 40 60 of the company would they know they did say the majority they said 60 of the company would want him gone but 40 would keep him that's in the and the only reason you brought up a good point where it's like i don't know like i don't want fire because like i don't know he's got kids and he cries a lot that's the thing but the that is the. I don't want to fire because he's got kids and he cries a lot. That's the thing. That is the thing.

People don't want to be responsible for him losing his job. They shouldn't have to be. And that's the problem. When shit like this happens, there are people who should be making the decisions and they carry that burden because they're fucking getting paid a shit ton. That's not for the average. It shouldn't be up to the part-time employee. Right. Your job is not to fire like your partner you know your

your your colleague because yeah I don't want I don't want you know I don't want them deciding my fate I don't want this it's not it's not their responsibility it's not in their job description and it also is like yeah every time somebody's gotten fired it's a sad story. And there's, you know, it's a scary thing. And that's why you really try not to get fired. And that's why most people, when they get fired, are like, I got to get a job right away. And other people, you know, and they don't risk their fucking career for some dumb bullshit like this. It's, yeah, man, I don't know.

You should have, you have about like 10 strikes. You should have thought about your family every single time you fucking did one of, you know, had some I don't know. You should have... You have about like 10 strikes. You should have thought about your family every single time you fucking had some of these antics. Let's say six... Because I do think that... I do not think Rico will live flawlessly. I do not think there will ever be a fucking serious... I'm not scared coming to work.

No. I'm not fucking any of that shit. I don't think anyone with a reasonable brain is. I do think there are some people. I think they fucking any of that shit. I don't think anyone with a reasonable brain is. I do think there are some people. I think they're fucking idiots. Let's say six months down the road, Rico fucking, I don't know. I call him Terry on a podcast

and he throws a can and I don't want to say it's me. Who could it be? I don't know. Someone. Let's say Rico just does. Joey Camasta. Let's say Rico does something. Joey would fucking murder him? I don't know. Someone. Let's say Rico just does. Joey Camasta. Let's say Rico does something. Joey would fucking murder him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't even know what the example would be because I don't think it would be something as –

I do not think there will be any more violent outbursts, and I don't think there will be any more – no, actually, the anonymous shit is going to keep happening. That's going to keep happening. When that's in your blood, you just do that. Yeah, yeah. Let's say that he gets caught again with a burner harassing a barstool employee barstool employee works here zero tolerance policy is he going or not well i watched the video from over the summer where we we threw around the term zero tolerance

policy pretty pretty heavy-handed when he threw the high noon uh can and clearly there's a tolerance yes there's a lot of there's like a 99 tolerance okay so i think i think this has been enough of a public spectacle i think that the high noon one was still like an in-house thing yeah uh this is so this was a big moment i think it's like a watershed moment at barcelo to be honest i think there's a lot of implications with like the people who gamble and like the regular content people, the people who are going to be working in New York versus the people who are not.

I think this is really going to like change the landscape of Barstool a little bit. I think this one was big enough that I think Dave would fire him out of like his reputation. Like, I can't. I have to fire you now, or else I look like a complete asshole.

And a lot of people think he looks like a complete asshole now. If he didn't and something happens again, he would look like a wide, huge, gaping asshole. I mean, it's just impossible to let that happen again. Shout out our folks over at Fitbod. Fitbod is not what I have, but we're going to work on it in the new year. Everyone's going to do it.

I don't think he was making the argument he thought it was. That's what I said. I'm like, Dave is making your argument worse. He's a psychopath. He's a lunatic. That's one of his funny moments. I'm laughing at myself while I'm trying to... His convoluted point is is i don't have to worry about nick hammy throwing a can at someone strictly because rico bosco got away with it

because nick hammy's not a fucking psychopath so like there's nobody sitting around going man i wish i could really throw a can but the only reason i don't is that i'll get in trouble and then they go oh rico did it and didn't even get in trouble so now i'm gonna throw cans around you only do that if you're fucking nuts yeah but what i'll tell you what it does do if i if i was them if i was dave i'd be worried about and i hope i mean i don't even know people have the balls to do this but like if you if you fucking email me or call me out publicly because like i didn't blog enough this week or i didn't go to a ski house or i didn't stay late for something you know

whatever i'd be like oh that i get a public lashing but this gets like a fucking you know your 10-3 pass like fuck that and he can say we treat people we treat different people at barstool differently and all that but eventually like people would be like well then fuck this like fuck how this place is run. That's insane. It is. I think we've kind of gotten past our public lashes. I don't think they really happen anymore. But, yeah, if I – I wouldn't – I'm still – I'm forever scared of Dave, obviously.

So I think maybe I'm a little different. I'm always going to be like, I'm so sorry, master. There will always be some intimidation there no matter what. I think there are probably younger people who haven't been through the ringer and are probably just like – Well, then fuck this. You're not going to do anything. Yeah, right. It's like my mom when I was a kid. I'd get grounded all the time.

I was never grounded for 10 seconds. Right. I'll be right back out watching TV or playing TV. All right, lady. Sounds good. Yeah. Grounded. That's like if they sent a mean email and I was someone who hasn't been, again, through everything, I'd be like, yeah, okay.

Right, sounds good. I wouldn't even reply. I'd be like, all right, bro. Yeah, you're going to fire me? Yeah, sure thing. No, you're fucking not. So, yeah, I mean, to not, like, I think he does understand the hypocrisy of it. He just doesn't really care about it.

I don't think we can call it hypocrisy because he just acknowledges it. Because he openly does. He's just like, it's different. I have a history with Rico. And so this is how it's going to be. It's not hypocritical. It is like anarchy. Plus chaos.

It's like, well, then I just don't even know what to say. Okay. It is like the hypocrisy. Again, I don't consider Dave a hypocrite because he's just like, yeah, no, I do it differently. You know what it is? I think at the end of the day, the question is, is this bad for business?

This right now? No. There's your answer. Yeah. And people being lazy, not doing sponsored events, not blogging enough, not recording enough podcasts. That's like we're paying you money to do that. You're fucking with our bottom line and you're being lazy and you're basically like spitting in the face of the guys who built this thing. So you need to work harder versus this is like – this is probably better for, you know, we got a shit ton of views

and all that shit. But what I think- This is bad for business. I think it's bad for- Morale. Company morale. Yes. But I don't think

that's ever been a concern here. But that is the thing. Like, at what point, and I don't think we're at it, but at what point would you say this is so bad for the company morale,

the company rules, the order that's in place. If there was enough people really being like, I'm never going to listen to this guy ever again, he might think differently, but people will still listen to Dave. At the end of the day, he can do this.

Rico can stay. Barstool will keep rolling. Everything's fine. It'll be fine. I think Dave called it a mini-rebellion. Barstool will keep rolling, and everything's fine. It'll be fine. I think Dave called it a mini-rebellion. I think it's just people disappointed. People are like, this fucking sucks.

Again, I don't think it's that he's working here. I think it's just that a person like that exists amongst us. But I also do think it's embarrassing. I hate that it's a part of Barstool. I hate that. I mean, I'm such a lifer here that it's like whatever. But if I was new and on the come up or something and was thinking about going to Barstool, I'd be like, I am not going near this shit. This is fucking – this is for the birds, man.

But it is good for – it is like – I think Dave is very upfront about how he operates. Clicks and clicks. I don't give a fuck. He's been like, I don't really fucking care what you think about anything. I don't care if you're happy. He said, Marshall's not a democracy. It's not. Never has been. Never will be. I think Dan is

similar where he also is like, does it get numbers? I think Dan's a little less willing to admit it. Where Dave is just outright like, yeah, no, it does numbers. I don't give a fuck. Don't fucking care. It's how they Just win, baby. Just win, baby. And I think that like this is the – there is a bit of a – I guess a lacking of the

consideration of human element. But I mean, we'll all get over it. Like we're all adults. That's the thing. Also, by weird, I'm not broken up. I think he's a scumbag piece of shit. But I'm not like, how am I's a scumbag piece of shit but i'm not like how am i gonna that's walking it's like i'm i'm annoyed i'm like i'm annoyed by the whole i'm annoyed that he was a hypocrite and turned out to be the same guy that he always like

said he wasn't and then he was the some things are bigger than the sports guy and he's the biggest scumbag out there uh i'm annoyed by the hypocritical handling of Marty versus him. That was a funny Trent tweet during the high council. What he said. Well, all right, let's figure this out first. Where's everyone going to sit? Bro. We were talking about moving the desks.

When Dan was like, no, I will move a desk. I was like, oh, my God desk it's like oh my god it's not about moving desks uh and i i'm just overall annoyed that like there's no rhyme or reason to like what can get a person you know borderline well like almost fired or completely publicly fucking ruined or whatever but i again i'm not like afraid of it i'm not like uh it's not like offensive to me. I don't think it's wrong. It's just like, what the fuck are we doing here?

It is wrong. I'm going to give it that one. I'm not offended by it. It is wrong. I just think you're a scumbag piece of shit who is irredeemable. I think also the same way we tackle content is like, when there's an incident, I'm going to speak up for my opinion and what i think is right and the fact that what is wrong is being like widely accepted by or not widely accepted but accepted by certain

people is like what the fuck are you guys talking about yeah you know it's like we we were we were basically crying like mark brunel during fucking deflategate over Marty and Rhea and now this is just like well you know come on we know the guy come on you know I'm just so it's just like anything else where I'm on the run down arguing with Dan and Dave being like no fucking way you know what it is it's a great time for who's the biggest asshole

the game where you decide in certain social situations who's the biggest asshole so I have a co-worker who violated the terms of you of employment physically and emotionally, but the bosses don't want to fire him because they like him a lot and they don't want him to be suicidal or poor. Who's the biggest asshole? Guess what?

I'm suicidal and poor, motherfucker. Okay. I got to give a quick shout-out to Mincy. I think he's of the whack pack ilk Just in the midst of all this Dropping an all time block I mean So Friday was

Friday was Could I have done more? Yeah probably Friday Friday was So we started Rico kind of bled into the day Yeah

Right And then People were buying videos Of Tommy Smoke sucking dick Yep Yep That was incredible People were probably just like

Just enjoy this video Of me 13 minute videos Sucking cock And getting fucked hard And people were like Thanks Tommy Fucking

Charlie Woods Walked around Part of my take club heads. Fucking Brady followed PFT at Hank's request. Or his millionth follow. How about this? Fucking this didn't even get brought up. Million dollars worth of game got the key to the city of Philadelphia.

All this drastically overshadowed that. Yeah, people at school tweeted it in the morning, and then chaos broke loose. So we didn't even get the fucking hats off to Million Dollars Worth of Gabe, Gilly, and Wallow. That's dope. Somehow the craziest thing was Mintz's blog asking if he did a good job.

No, Mintz. No. Definitively not. How about that, man? How about that? No. Next question. He wrote like 2,000 words on it. My reply? No. Next. Mincy, again,

a great member of the Laugh Fat Whack Pack. Mincy just thinks when he's doing the videos at baseball games that it's... Just down here making content, man. What are we talking about? I'd love to live. What's happening to this goddamn company. What are we talking about? I'd love to live here. What's happening to this goddamn company?

What are we talking about? I know, man. It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. Hey, y'all. Down here, LSU baseball. 3-2 after the 6. Check back in after the 7.

Boots on the ground, Mincy. Boots on the fucking ground, baby. King of the South, dude. King of the South. So, I mean, I guess at the end of the ground, Mincy boots on the fucking ground, baby. King of the South. Uh, so, I mean, I guess at the end of the day, we were kind of all over the place there,

but it's like, it's a strange, we did not stick to our scripts there. No, no, but you know, a lot of improv going on. You know what it is?

It's, it's actually what bar stool is on the whole. It's kind of what answered the internet is. It's kind of what KFC radio is. It's like what Barstool is on the whole. It's kind of what Answer the Internet is. It's kind of what KFC Radio is. It's like we take silly shit seriously, but we don't take it seriously. You know what I mean? So it's like I will have – I have a very strong opinion about this. I don't think he's done anything to deserve to stick around.

I still haven't heard from him. I probably never will. Not that I feel like I need that, but it's kind of like, you know, what are we doing here? think he's done anything to deserve to stick around still i still haven't heard from him i probably never will uh not that i feel like i need that but it's kind of like you know what are we doing here um i tweeted at you from some other accounts i'm sure yeah i i do not care if he just continues to do uh the pick'em gambling podcast with dan and dave this affects my life zero percent but i always you know whatever whatever the situation is we always have like strong opinions that's what we do here and it's about like my company it's about what we do here so like yes i am super outspoken about this i'm passionate about it i believe in

what i'm saying i'm not saying that it's like i'm lying but at the end of the day it's also just like enrico is going to continue working here and monday will come and we'll just go back to work yeah honestly by the time this comes out Monday, it's probably like dead horse. Now what I will say this. We did three days on someone harassing a co-worker's wife. Yeah. People were legitimately. Did you see the World Cup final, guys?

People were legit like, you're still talking about this. It's like, this deserves a court trial. Okay? We should go to like the Supreme Court. And I'm not even kidding. We need rules in this country about using the internet like that. It should be illegal to have anonymous burners. I'm just going to say it.

The apps that you can use to text people anonymously should be illegal. I really want to make that our... It genuinely should be legal. I want to make that our cause. I want to make it our cause. App control. Burner control. Like fucking anybody who does this shit to harass exes or new girlfriends and boyfriends

and coworkers or daughters, your own children, as we saw on the fucking internet this week. Like it is, it's stalk. It's the same thing as if you were like banging down someone's door and threatening and menacing and all those other illegal, all those other crimes. Should be the same fucking shit, man.

Offer only available in the United States. But there is an element of, like, this barstool, baby.

Yeah. And I think it'll be a great chapter in the book. And also because this is a victimless crime. Like, if Alex, if Gons. Well, there is a victimless crime like if alex uh if if yes but like i'm saying like if if let's say like by the way and just to make it so clear because i don't think a lot of people are saying it like cons wasn't doing anything wrong like there was no truth to any of it they're like their marriage is fine but let's say that rico was lying let's say that it like led to a divorce or something like that like That's a whole other fucking story. Right now,

you're lucky that you were wrong and being an asshole because if there was actually consequences to it, I think consequences to it, I think it would be a whole different story. But yeah, at the end of the day, this is just like, wow, another fucking truly

rogue, deranged employee. Like, what's the what's paycheck will clear in two weeks and it will clear fucking forever man no yeah two weeks it's wild dude it's absolutely wild but I do I believe that we're gonna see a

new a new look of barstool when Dan goes to Chicago Dave you know is already permanently down in Miami. I never realized that he has – I always felt a little weird when I was like, he's evading taxes. Even though he openly says it all the time. But I never realized he had a sign behind him that said tax haven.

When I was watching the high council, I saw it. That's funny. I imagine it's where he always sits for shows. That's hilarious. I never noticed that. I think that there will be a split between gambling and non-gambling. I think the people that stay in New York will be here and will kind of be the elder statesman, if you will, to run it.

And I just think that that was going to cause, like, it'll be a new chapter of Barstool anyway. And we just started it off with, like, a fucking atomic bomb. Does Rico go to Chicago? No, he can't, right? I don't know. He's not coming here, though. Like, you know, if it's up to me, there's no way that,

you know, you go do gambling wherever the gambling is, man. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, I guess that'll be an interesting question. I don't know who will be running things and who will make those decisions, but in general, I just think it'll be a weird, like, it was, you know what it was? It was the turbo boost at the beginning of Mario Kart. You know, if you hit it just right turbo boost at the beginning of Mario Kart. You know, if you hit it just right, you start off with a fucking... Nah, I didn't play games.

I really didn't play Mario Kart. I mean, I obviously know the game. You guys know what I'm talking about, right? Three, two, one, and if you hit it right on it... You press at the start of two, you zoom. Yeah, because if you hold it down, you spin out. If you try to, like, you know, just hold down your engine so you can go. I cannot believe you don't know this reference.

Fuck you. I played Mario Kart before. The point is that I just meant things were going to change, and we just hyper-drived it. So we'll see where it ends up. But as far as the short term and what's the fate of the people involved, it's not going to be the same. It's going to be the same exact shit shit and part of me thinks that's crazy and part of me thinks that's exactly

how it should be yeah because that's that is what barstool is crazy and that's how it should be that is why we will you know that's why we get paid the salaries we get paid that's why we have the number of followers that we all have that's why it's you know the biggest thing and the and that's why there's nothing like it on the internet is that of all the craziest things at barcelona how what was this right i was wondering that i think like of all like all things fucking i'm talking like everything that's ever happened in the last 15 years i think this is the worst behavior by an employee oh i think that's a no-brainer. Yeah, okay. I think that this is... So, but in that sense, it stands alone. Yeah.

Because it's like Dave getting dragged out of the Super Bowl is like... But it's like that's... Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the most nefarious thing that's ever happened at Barstool. It's up there. That's known. It's talked about talked about yeah i'm sure there's more going on behind the scenes the of other scumbags it's number one with a bullet yeah let's hope not let's hope there are no bullets

all right so yeah that's it we'll see if anything more comes to me as far as i'm concerned this is like case closed kind of there's nothing we've kind of talked in circles about the same things and we've all made our points clear i think everybody knows where we stand i actually think that surprisingly i am i don't think it's as much like this versus that when it comes like me and dan and dave like i mean i made it clear that I don't agree with them on some parts, but like we said, I do think this is Barstool. I think everything just goes back to the way it was and hopefully just keep your head on a swivel. សូវាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប� Thank you. សូវាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប� Bye.
