Rico, Jetski and Kelly feud over Barstool NYC pod rooms
TLDR: Rico and Jetski swapped pod rooms to record Pick Em Wednesday morning, and by lunch the move had Kelly involved and the Barstool NYC office at each other's throats.
It started the way most office wars start: someone was in a room they weren't supposed to be in. Here's the scene on the floor once word got around.
Rico and Jetski have caused a stir in the NYC office today over switching pod rooms to record Pick Em this morning
Moving rooms to tape a show sounds like nothing. In a cramped Manhattan office where every pod room is spoken for, it means somebody else just lost their slot. Pick Em is the weekly picks show where Big Cat, Pres and Rico Bosco give out their losing picks with full confidence, so it isn't going to record in a hallway. Whoever got bumped wasn't going to take it quietly either. Within minutes it wasn't only Rico and Jetski anymore, because Kelly had joined in.
The switching of pod rooms now has Kelly, Rico and Jetski at each other’s throats.
Nobody has said exactly who booked what or who got kicked out of which room, and the clips don't settle it either. What's on camera is a lot of standing, a lot of pointing and a lot of people enjoying it from their chairs. That part tracks for Barstool. Rico Bosco has been in plenty of building-wide beefs, and on House Call at the start of the month he was already being asked how he stays liked in a place with this many wars.

Every office fight has a guy who loves it more than the people actually in it. Here that's apparently Gaz, the Barstool sales guy, who got called out on camera for having a great time while everyone else was yelling.
Gaz says he's a solutions guy, not a drama guy, and he offered a fix. The real problem is that the NYC office doesn't have enough room for everyone who wants to podcast. His answer was to build @Return_Of_RB a home studio and free up a room. It's a joke, but it's not a dumb one. Fans had already spent the afternoon calling RB the leader of the New York office, so offering him a studio at home is either a promotion or a very polite way of getting him out of the building.
That clip says more about the space problem than any tweet does: desks pushed together, bags and clothes piled up, a framed Stoolapalooza shirt on the wall. With this many shows sharing a few pod rooms, it won't be the last fight over who gets one. For now, Pick Em got recorded, Kelly is mad, and somebody owes RB a ring light.
