HOLD UP! Rico Bosco...Mastermind?

Okay, let’s get out in front of it right away...the “No Fly List” was unfortunately put to bed on July 14th, 2025, from the LAX airport. Jeff Nadu landing live on The Yak today will go down as an unforgettable moment in Barstool history.

First off hats off to The Yak yet again with a banger episode, what coverage by The Yak only the type of all around insight CNN or Fox News could dream of. Including boots on the ground, bringing in the LAX airport expert Josh Potter (also a freakin’ awesome Ryder & comedian), and giving Rico the chance to speak for himself.

Today, for Ryders all around Barstool, it feels fractured, defeated, and somewhat hopeless, as if in an air perfuming social media thicker than the LA smog Nadu somehow landed in.

BUT, you see, the story is all wrong. Those clamoring for Nadu’s victory, master play, and downright dominance are living in a backwards world.

Nadu does not get this moment without Rico Bosco. Yep, you read that correctly. In fact...Is Rico truly the puppet master, pulling the strings and letting Nadu think this victory was all his?

110% people! 

The man skyrockets to #1 trending on the day Conor McGregor’s junk was discussed, and idk exactly but maybe even leaked?? How did he manage to pull that off you ask?

No one but RICO MF BOSCO, but of course.

That’s right, lets put on the thinking caps here, whenever Nadu has his big moments, who is always right there in the thick of it? RICO. Now, you might ask, “Well doesn’t that happen for Rico too? Doesn’t he only rise when Nadu’s around?”

WRONG AGAIN!

You see, it’s beginning to look like there’s a trend, Nadu’s big moments? Only happen when orchestrated, one could say, at the hands of Rico Bosco and his Ryders. So while, yes, the internet may want to tell you one story(and the internet is always factual...right?) about a man trending to number one, the truth may actually lie behind closed doors, a master long con by a man so powerful in the Barstool universe, no one dares cross.

Rico, by creating storylines for YEARS and making moves no one could’ve predicted, now made Nadu, in hindsight, have to admit his biggest viral moment was… riding a plane? That’s quite odd, considering he’s a content creator… is it not?

Shouldn’t his greatest moment be linked to some sort of gambling, crime info, or even say a Utah Jazz jersey-wearing moment? But it’s not. Instead, he’s now tied to going viral because… he took a plane ride.

Hmmmm… sounds like desperation for clicks to me, Nadu.

Meanwhile, Rico seems tied more to this through his content, even seeming to struggle holding back a slight smile if you rewatch the end of that airport video(As Nadu yells into the camera proud to have...rode on a plane). As if he knew all along that his plan was leading to this moment, national attention for Nadu, forever tied to Rico Bosco and his faithful followers.

Even The Yak, though in awe of Nadu turning that corner onto screen today, carried the energy of a crew who knew, deep down, was this all part of Rico’s plan?

Getting a whole company to think there’s no way Nadu gets on that flight, Jack McCarthy talking about canceled Barstool flights, Eddie confused on if Nadu even flew or drove to Chicago in years past, and even the boss man himself buying into the narrative?

You see, sometimes in war, you must “lose” a battle to bait your enemy into an irreversible event. Today, we may have just witnessed Rico Bosco doing exactly that.

While everyone looked at a computer airplane, HE on the other hand, had been planning this moment for years. Building it up to release as a nationwide conspiracy, trending across social media, tied to an all-time Yak, yet all linked back to the mastermind himself: Rico Bosco.

This was not an L today.

Now of course this is just a blogger trying to do his job and report the full story, any clicks for Barstool are always a great day in the content universe, but also when part of the "Barstool Breakdown" crew you must stay loyal to the Stool and make sure the world knows the truth.

So really when it comes all together, it's hard to ignore some of the glaring facts out of today. This was yet another chapter of Rico living deep in the mind of one Jeff Nadu, dictating his every move.
