Are you familiar with Rico Bosco from Barstool?

Yes.

You know Rico Bosco? Al, you know Rico Bosco? I definitely know the name, but I don't think I would know him if I saw him. All right, so Rico Bosco is a guy who's been working for a barstool for a while, and he's a lot on the gambling side, but he's known for having a really, really bad temper. Like, he'll tell you this. There's videos of him where he's flipping out on colleagues and he's just losing his mind and storming off.

And he's got like these, you know, Dave Portnoy's always, you know, trying to antagonize him.

And he goes crazy and he yells and leaves the podcast.

Yes.

So he's a big WFA and listener.

He grew up in Staten Island. So I mentioned how I'm going to Shane Gillis on the air. So he's listening. So he sends me a DM. And he goes, hey, you're going to Shane Gillis? He's like, it's my wife's birthday. I'm taking her to Shane Gillis. I'd love to meet you and maybe get a drink beforehand and hang out. He's like, here's my number. I'm like, oh, okay, great. You know, whatever. I'll go say hi to Rico Bosco. You guys, you know, I like his content. You know, seems like a good enough guy. He's not flipping out. So I'm finishing up dinner. and I'm like, oh, we're going to head over to the garden.

And I text... So I'm finishing up dinner and I'm like, oh, we're going to head over to the garden.

And I text Rico Bosco.

I go to my DMs.

I text Rico.

I say, hey, Rico, it's Gio.

Finish it up dinner.

About to head over to the garden.

Where are you?

Right?

So he writes back right away.

Who the F is Gio? I'm like, so I think he's, I think he's kidding, right? So I'm like, hey man, I just wrote back, you know, I was like, yeah, well, are you heading over now or what? Send the phone rings. And at dinner, I'm like, and it's him. He said, who is this? Who is Gio? How'd you get my number? And I'm like, boomer and Gio, hello? You gave me your number. He said, oh, dude, I'm sorry. Can you imagine? What Portolaway has to deal with? Yeah. So then he's like, oh, man. He's like, oh, I'm so sorry. Then he sent me a video to, like, back up. He said a lot of people had gotten his number and been bugging him. I guess that he didn't want to change his number. So he sent me a video on a live stream just to, like, prove his point that I guess some rando had gotten his number and kept calling him.

He was screaming at the person who had his number.

So I got the full, the full Rico Bosco experience getting yelled at.

Wow.
