“I had an idea for my future,” Bellucci continues, “that is open food trucks at tournaments. I would like to serve carbonara for exampleand I’m calling you precisely for this reason”, “do you want me to help you with the carbonara recipe?” Cobolli replied, more and more incredulous. “No, no, not about the recipe, I know you’re not a great chef, but you’re Roman and you have a face that would be necessary for my initiative“, continued Bellucci.
“But is this decision final? That is, it’s official”, asked Cobolli, while Bellucci struggled to contain his laughter. “I understand your displeasure,” he replied, “but I could have become a problem for you in the future. You should also help me financially, it would be an investment: 60 thousand euros to start. Will you help me or not?“.
Cobolli struggles to answer, mumbles something embarrassed and finally says to talk to his father. “Maybe we’ll organize a three-way video call,” says Bellucci, but this is where the joke is revealed, with the blue having an overall sober reaction: “And andatevene af*****o“.
