Dave Portnoy Calls Emergency Meeting After Rico Bosco's Return | Barstool Rundown December 15, 2022 

If Rico was smart he would start a podcast tomorrow where he sits down with all of his enemies 1 by 1 and starting with Nadu and hash it out and apologize. Years of content.

That cons message, saying how he and his wife are stronger than to be bothered by Rico's harassment, is utterly class. Cons, never seen your content, but this is a great move.

Ricco is like a dog that keeps biting kids and Dave refuses to put him down because "he does this awesome trick where he just bites kids and he is really good at it"

“I don’t worry about that stuff, cause he’s a psychopath” -Dave Portnoy. Absolutely insane statement

Never thought I'd see the day when KFC is the voice of reason, sanity, morality and dunks on Dan & Dave for 40 minutes straight, yet here we are.

Great timing for Ben mintz everyone forgot about him not standing up for the company and going on vacation 3 weeks early

Huge W for Cons. He's playing the long game knowing that Rico will always owe his life to him

Kevin is speaking for every barstool employee right now

Dave letting rico directly ignore his words and things to do, for an entire season of pick em and now knowing he was half out looking for other options and still babying him like this is wild.

How Dave doesn't see threatening a co-worker's wife through a burner is worse than the Marty/Ria situation is insanity.

Lol. Dave looked shook at the end of this. KFC’s logic has Dave and Dan thinking “OMG, what have I done”

These three could do a podcast about watching paint dry, and it would be must watch. They vibe so well together it’s crazy they don’t do more together.

Nothing will change.

If Rico ever did something that caused a lawsuit, this video of Dave acknowledging that he’s unhinged and keeping him anyway is a great piece of evidence.

Big Cat is too nice man, looks exhausted. Dealing with Rico is going to kill him.

I like how they kept tip toeing around him killing himself if they let him go lol

KFC being the only one that actually sounds like an adult is fucking hilarious in itself

Excited to see what Rico’s next last chance is going to be!

The Nate ricochet shot at 18:35 is hilarious

Dave hasn't lost the office, the office has changed their sensibilities. Right or wrong, that's what happened. Dave is still doing 15 years ago Barstool.

Dave seeing no difference between what Marty did and what Rico did is CRAZY

Rico using the poor me card is hilarious. He’s an adult!! Dave and Big Cat don’t need to be his babysitter.

Rico’s actions can easily be a hit piece on how barstool is a terrible place, crazy that Dave can’t see that. Any HR department would’ve immediately terminated him

Rico at home sweating because he thought his written statement would be enough of an apology 😂 Now comes the apology tour

Thank god for Kevin being the voice of reason. And having the clout and balls to stand up and tell Dave that Rico being an absolute nut job isn’t an excuse

“He’s a horrible person” but still gives the guy a job

The fact that Dave actually thinks what Rico did is on the same level as what Marty did makes me think he might have some screws loose too

This will be 20 minutes of them shitting on Rico but not doing a single thing about it

How many times can Dave say “doesn’t excuse it” before there are actual repercussions for these inexcusable actions?

Dave and Dan continuously saying Cons is ok with it is the biggest cop out of all time. Completely deflecting everything back to Cons being ok with Rico coming back

I had a friend like Rico, he would like to joke around but when it came to joking about him he couldn’t take it. We aren’t friends anymore because of volatile emotional behavior. In a work environment even though you guys have fun you guys shouldn’t give this dude another chance. Even if he’s crying about feeding his family it’s just business let him go let him find a new place to be in. His over reactions shouldn’t be rewarded back by giving him more chances. He had plenty of chances, Dave stop being soft and be a firm leader, protect your employees.

I need to confess. I always thought the Rico thing was funny. But watching this and seeing that Dave doesn’t understand it’s transitioned from humor to actual concern like KFC explained has me concerned. It’s not a joke anymore. Dave just keeps laughing and it’s like…. The joke has stopped.

I’ve never been a fan of Kevin’s content, no disrespect. But, he had the balls to stand up like a man and tell Dave and Dan they are insane for letting him back on barstool. This is going to backfire on Dave big time.

"This is Rico's last chance" - Maybe that can be inscribed on the building for the generations to remember

KFC just dunked on Dan and Dave for and hour straight

Dave said that Rico was on a zero tolerance policy when he threw the can at Big T and Rico continued to act the same way ever since and they did nothing about his behavior and especially Dave will continue to reward his behavior it’s a total slap in the face to every other employee at barstool

The shot at Nate 🤣💀

Rico seems like a great guy to be around

I was surprised rico left in the first place 😁✌🏻 emergency high council edition. 😂 best name ever 😂

Big Cat cowered so much from original position after he saw what other people thought

If Rico really hurts someone there is a good case for negligence by Dave and Dan

Dave and Dan will live to regret allowing him back

I guess I'm riding with KFC now, what a world

Terrible management from Dave at every point, he’s gonna be screwed when something truly serious happens.

Who would have thought after all this time it’s Dan and Dave who actually ‘don’t got it’.

KFC DOES NOT STFU! Just like when he interviews people

Dave genuinely loves Rico

KFC is the only one that’s right

Feel like we’re going to have this conversation again in a few months

Cons should have a contract for life if he didn’t already

I’m glad KFC, Feits, BFW, and Chaps had the balls to stand up for Cons even tho that meant they had to go against Dave and Big Cat. Not very often you hear the top dawgs admit they were wrong. Unfortunately, I don’t think anything will change bc Big Cat is moving back to Chicago and Dave lives in Florida so Rico won’t have a handler to bail him out when he goes off the deep end again

Very brave of Dan to move his desk

Their defence of Rico is always just he's legit insane lol

The craziest part of it all is that Dave might "gut it" less than rico.

Kevin has very good points this episode. KFC crushed it

How is KFC the most reasonable person in this conversation

Prez has lost the fastball. Dan is slowly losing it

I want to hear A LOT more about Jersey Jerry’s Army Bootcamp 😂

I love the last few seconds where the guys just look like they got done doing a week of 2-a-days and are just mentally out of it. Lol

this is the most dave and kevin have gotten along in 10 years

Terrance broke down about supporting his family…. after leaving for a different job?!?!?

This video will be played in court to establish vicarious liability when Rico snaps again lol

Attacking a co-workers wife v. dating a co-workers ex? LOL

The problem is that your allowing him to get away with these actions continuously. You paid him for time off when he threw a high noon can at someone’s head

Rico is honestly so lucky he chose to go at a guy like cons that has probably the most class and character in the entire company because I can’t think of many if any other people where he pulls the shit he did and it goes this way for him.

This helps Barstool content (Dave and Dan) but this will also be the moment we look back on and say "Dave wouldn't be dealing with this (insert major lawsuit/problem) if he didn't let him back"

I think the true Rico test should be putting him into one of the game shows and seeing if he can make it without losing his mind

Can't wait to watch this again and take a shot every time Dave calls Rico crazy

Dave thinking Marty's situation is comparable to everything Rico's done is absolutely crazy. Your excuse for his actions is him being certifiably insane is not a excuse it's just proof that it will happen again

40:25 Thank you for finally talking about his contract! After watching almost a whole NFL regular season of Rico, Dave and Big Cat negotiating Rico’s contract, I will sleep comfortably knowing the complete saga of “Rico’s 2022 One year contract Negotiation”Rico pretty much secretly declined the deal, while secretly entering FA with a secretly hired agent. “That’s a bold move!” Said anyone. Within 3 days of quitting, Rico decided to talk, yell, and cry his way back into BS and with all the negotiations we all witnessed finally came to fruition with Rico signing another 1 year deal, but with no raise or bonus, so same contract as last year, but now he is at the bottom to the pecking pole. (Rico should of done this As his 1st tweet when he came back) Rico posting one clip of Wolf Of Wallstreet of Leo doing the “I’m Not F’cking Leaving!” And Tiko Texas is superimposed as one of the staffers cheering with the company and Leo. Then on Twitter, he went tagging all his BS’s coworkers and a wife or 2. The End

For someone crying about feeding his family, maybe make him show up to work 5 days a week like 99% of barstool listeners

This the most on point I’ve seen KFC in a minute. Good shit

“I don’t worry about that, he’s just a psychopath” is the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard anyone say

Brandon walker literally assaulted an employee and is saying how the fuck can you bring this guy back????

Every word KFC said was 100 percent right

Dave saying he didn’t know Hank was okay with Marty clearly showed he just never listened to Hank

You'd guess having a burner you would want to be anonymous lol

Dave said “ I just hope he doesn’t murder someone” hahahahaha

Big cats constant instigating people and then acting innocent and distraught when they’re in trouble, is the most manipulative move ever

I’m sure that’ll teach him! Don’t let him come to the office but pay him full time!! Lmao

Can you make him do the Game of Thrones “walk of atonement” throughout the office? And have Dave and Dan behind him with a cowbell chanting “shame”. Also …the head would 100% have to be shaved lol

This could destroy Dave in a court. If Rico does some other wild shit, he'll have Dave on the hook for backing him as an employee after stating he is a psychopath.

dave is so out of pocket saying that marty and rico situation are equal hahahaha

He’s a grown man being coddled. This man calls himself a father and what type of man can look his family in the face after this embarrassment

What really is surprising how many times Dave has said “oh if that were the case he would kill someone” and still has this person work in his company! Like what🤷 and from what Dave has said Rico was/is there because his craziness is good content!

KFC dunked on them for 40 mins

So rico never signed a contract with a new company 😂😂😂

Cons is as stand up guy as they get. Amazing part of this story.

They are basically saying "sue me for everything I have if Rico messes up bad" in every minute of this video Good luck with all that

I think the phrase he’s a psychopath was said like 100 times by Dave lol.

Davey Pageviews will never be taken seriously when disciplining an employee ever again.

It’s almost like Dave is acting like Rico’s transgressions are less egregious because he’s insane or nuts. That doesn’t make what he did not as bad as someone who’s “sane”

Shoutout Captain Cons...a true legend

Dan knows he’s fucked up and lost the locker room. Dave is on another planet.

Alex Stein crashing this interview would probably be better content.

The roast of Rico Bosco. He’s not allowed to make one response or hold grudges for whatever is said. No family comments made and anyone from Barstool is open to roast him with select outside invitation

KFC is a hard guy to like.

I don’t think even Hank would agree the situations are comparable

The jersey jerry part is literally fucking hilarious

Barstool = Progression Rico = Future Litigation
