0:00 Pablo Torre? This episode is brought to you by Apollo.io. A lot of the stories on this show start the same way. Something that looks pretty simple turns out to be a mess once you look under the hood. Well, it's no different in the sales world. Your team has a tool for finding prospects, a different tool for reaching out to them, and a third for keeping track of it all. On paper, that's a system. In practice, it's a salesperson spending the better part of the day copying names from one tab into another and not much of it actually selling. Apollo.io is a platform that helps sales teams find the right buyers and reach out to them. It brings prospecting, outreach, and follow-up into one place instead of several separate tools. It's used by sales teams of all sizes,

1:48 Pablo Torre? This episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out is brought to you by McDonald's. The Quarter Pounder with Cheese with Medium Fries and a Drink is now $8. And look, I've chased down a lot of strange stories, but nothing quite like what's inside a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. It is 100% fresh beef cooked right when you order it with no artificial flavors, colors, fillers, or preservatives in the beef. The onions are hand-topped by someone who knows the perfect amount by memory, two slices of cheese and a star, and two pickles side by side. So every bite gets both. And every time one's ordered, a cowbell sound rings in the kitchen. That's the grill master's cue to put a fresh patty on the grill.
2:28 Pablo Torre? My move: QPC, fries and a drink after a long day of recording. That is my happy place. The Quarter Pounder with Cheese with Fries and a Drink, now $8 for a limited time only, only at McDonald's. For a limited time only. Prices and participation may vary. Prices may be higher in Hawaii, Alaska and California. And for delivery, fresh beef not available in Alaska and Hawaii. Offer not valid for delivery. Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre and today, we're gonna find out what this sound is.
3:02 Speaker 02 Oh my god, woke over here, analytics over there. Can we just play the [bleep] feud?
3:11 Pablo Torre? Right after this ad.
3:14 Speaker 03 You're listening to Giraffe Kings Network.
3:29 Pablo Torre? I want to establish, so Dan is here, Gojo is here, Katie is here. Because people have been asking me, "Did you have a watch party for your episode of Celebrity Family Feud?" And I said, "Absolutely not." I watched it by myself in my living room on the floor. And was overwhelmed with everything that happened that I did not remember. And I said, "The real watch party is happening in studio on a little show that is named after me, in which I will be the most narcissistic, Dan Lebatard, that a narcissist has ever been."
4:02 Speaker 02 Not surprising at all that you would dedicate an entire episode to this. You told us, "Don't bring any prep, just bring yourselves and we will just sit around talking about me the entire time."
4:12 Pablo Torre? It was so scary. Can I just say that upfront? Like, so Gojo is here not just because we love Gojo. Gojo is here because Gojo was there. Gojo was in the audience. It's a big building. It's the biggest building I've ever been in, it felt like. And there's crowds of people. I am the man in the arena, as Tom Brady likes to say, as that quote goes. And it's horrifying and in the crowd, like an emotional support audience member, dancing to the music piped into that arena, is Mike Golic Jr.
4:51 Pablo Torre? Just, just being himself and it helped me so much.
4:54 Speaker 02 Good teammate.
4:55 Speaker 04 I had to do something to at least offer any bit of value there because this was the hardest co-tail riding I had done in quite some time. Just drafting off Mina and Pablo's popularity and how cool they are to get myself in the door of my favorite game show. All of my young adult life into my adult life to see Steve Harvey in person. Pablo and Mina made that possible. So the least I could do was bring golden retriever energy to the audience.
5:22 Speaker 05 I would have killed to see a Steve Harvey Family Feud in person. I'm the most jealous. I've watched so many hours of this man perfectly hosting this game show.
5:31 Pablo Torre? Nothing has felt more like climbing into a television than encountering Steve Harvey in person. He is a surreal entity.
5:38 Speaker 02 What'd he smell like? What'd he smell like? Cologne? Cologne?
5:41 Speaker 05 Good question.
5:42 Pablo Torre? He smelled like money.
5:44 Speaker 05 That's dirty smelling. That smells disgusting. Money smells gross.
5:47 Pablo Torre? He smelled like money sprayed with cologne.
5:50 Speaker 05 Ah, okay.

9:45 Pablo Torre? It looked like a level from like a Batman video game. It did. It was just like enormous, gray, bleak, but in the middle of it were these gleaming lights in this soundstage in Culver City. And inside of that soundstage, the show began.
10:07 Speaker 05 So awkward at this part. I'm obsessed with how awkward you are.
10:12 Pablo Torre? Not the coolest I've ever looked.
10:14 Speaker 05 No. The way you just look at other people.
10:21 Speaker 05 Looking at Mina, looking around.
10:25 Speaker 05 And then trying to look cool. Why don't they put you in order? Oh, because you had to be middle?
10:29 Speaker 02 More starch than dry cleaning.
10:33 Speaker 04 Having to do that opposite John Legend, who is so effortlessly cool.
10:38 Speaker 02 And Steve Harvey, who's so effortlessly cool.
10:42 Pablo Torre? Steve Harvey walks out there in a suit that I have never seen before.
10:46 Speaker 05 Yeah. No one's ever worn that before.
10:48 Pablo Torre? What is this color combination? That's all one gleaming, shimmering color that smells like, again, pheromones.
10:53 Speaker 05 Satin, I think is what it's called. I have no idea.
10:55 Pablo Torre? Yes.
10:56 Speaker 05 Fancy, very fancy. You looked incredibly uncomfortable.
10:58 Speaker 04 He dresses like a Bond villain.
10:59 Speaker 05 He does.
11:00 Pablo Torre? And he immediately was like pointing to the real celebrities, like John Legend. It's like, that's his guy. Legend, my dog, the legend, John Legend.
11:11 Pablo Torre? 12-time Grammy Award winner and Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe, and Tony Award winner.
11:17 Speaker 04 Wow, and it's currently on The Voice. How you been, man?
11:21 Speaker 05 Very good. I'm looking to add Family Feud winner to my trophy list.
11:26 Pablo Torre? Yeah, immediately, by the way, they did start to like talk some [BLEEP].
11:29 Speaker 05 Oh.
11:29 Speaker 03 We're a bit of a goof troop, but we're excited and we're ready.
11:33 Speaker 04 Okay, well, that's good.
11:33 Speaker 03 We've got some Harvard grads over there.
11:38 Speaker 05 Is that talking [BLEEP]?
11:39 Pablo Torre? I mean...
11:40 Speaker 05 You graduated from Harvard?
11:41 Pablo Torre? That's right.
11:43 Speaker 02 You do not know what it is like to be buried in talked [BLEEP] if you think that is talking [BLEEP].
11:49 Pablo Torre? Well, this is what became very obvious to us immediately. So David Chang had assembled, he casted this team of people who went to like fancy schools. So the team, I mean, look, I'll say this just for the record here. I wanted like Gronk. I felt like we needed one token white guy. I would have pulled Gojo out of the stands, frankly. But instead, what he did, what Chang did was assemble a team of like, of nerds to play Family Feud.
12:19 Speaker 04 Let's go meet the Chang team.
12:23 Speaker 04 Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for David Chang, everybody. He's an award-winning chef. You see him on Chrissy and Dave Dying Out and Dinner Time Live with David Chang, and New York Times bestselling author for his cookbooks.
12:41 Speaker 04 Ladies and gentlemen, Michelle W. West, everybody.
12:47 Speaker 04 Pro golfer, five LPGA Tour wins, but I'm a big fan of yours. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Mina Kimes. Analyst on NFL Live, journalist at ESPN. Ladies and gentlemen, Pablo Torre. Award-winning sports writer, podcaster, and ESPN host. Nice to meet you, Pablo. Ladies and gentlemen, last but not least, Chris Yee. Podcaster and co-host of...
13:12 Pablo Torre? Dinner Time Live. How you doing, man? I'm excellent. The handshake was a big moment.
13:16 Speaker 05 Mm-hmm.
13:17 Speaker 02 Vigorous.
13:17 Speaker 05 What was, what prompted that? Why did he want that?
13:19 Pablo Torre? I don't know.
13:20 Speaker 05 Interesting.
13:20 Pablo Torre? No one else got their handshake displayed like that on our team.
13:24 Speaker 05 Oh, did you pull his hand over to you?
13:29 Pablo Torre? It's like, I sort of wanted him to, to, to do, uh...
13:33 Speaker 02 It was like a...
13:34 Speaker 04 That's the most alpha male boot camp endorsed handshake.
13:37 Pablo Torre? I've seen a presidential debate before. I need to send an electric sort of worm jolt into the guy I'm, I'm shaking hands with.
13:44 Speaker 02 Any particular reason I didn't hear metal lark said by Steve Harvey instead of all the other things that were said about Pablo Torre?
13:53 Pablo Torre? You will discover in the doing of this episode that in no way at any point was I in control. I was not, I was, Steve, Steve had an agenda, Dan, that did not involve celebrating the independent, uh, truth-seeking media company that you and I, of course, are so proud, so, so very proud to represent at all times.
14:10 Speaker 05 And I still don't have a, a key card for it. I still have to knock on the door.
14:13 Pablo Torre? Yeah, Katie does, sort of like paw, like, uh, like a cat.
14:16 Speaker 05 I need a fob.
14:17 Pablo Torre? Yeah.
14:18 Speaker 04 You guys had an agenda going into the naming. You guys were almost not Team Chang on this. And we're making the ABC production staff very uncomfortable.
14:26 Speaker 05 What?
14:27 Speaker 04 With your guys' attempt at name changing.
14:29 Pablo Torre? Thank you for reminding me. So, an example, the prime example of how we are not in control is that David Chang did not want to be the, the patriarch of this team. He didn't want to be Team Chang.
14:40 Pablo Torre? And so, he was asking like, what should we be instead? And I was like, oh, we can choose? We should be Team Asia. So, many, many people were like, uh, you know, this is confusing for lots of reasons because we are not related, for the record. We are not family.
14:52 Speaker 05 I was gonna say, you're not doing yourself any favors with, you and Mina aren't related, are related rumors.
14:57 Pablo Torre? So, in this case, we were like, we want to be Team Asia. And so, we were telling this to the people, uh, out, outside of the set before the thing started. And the producer, Gojo, was there. Looking at the white man's face, his response to being provided the counter possibility of Team Asia was that of abject horror.
15:19 Speaker 04 I truly wish you guys could have seen the old white producers sweating when they kept going back and be like, no, we want to be Team Asia.
15:26 Pablo Torre? And would have looked like Family Feud had named this team of Asian people Team Asia.
15:31 Speaker 05 It also doesn't say team, right? I think it just says Chang?
15:34 Pablo Torre? Oh, it would have just said Asia.
15:36 Speaker 05 It would have just said Asia, which I think would not be good.
15:39 Speaker 04 They went back and like talked to the bigger boss like three times. He called, really not do this?
15:46 Pablo Torre? He called his own manager and was like, I need to call the manager.
15:50 Speaker 02 Can you guys get corporate? I'm incredibly white. I'm in, I'm in deep, I'm in deep water here.
15:58 Pablo Torre? Can I tell them they can't be Asian?
16:00 Speaker 04 This is where we learned that ABC desperately needs more diversity.
16:06 Speaker 05 Yeah, I was gonna say they didn't have an Asian to call.
16:08 Speaker 02 Get your woke out of my Family Feud. Just get it out of here, okay? Get to the fun, please.
16:17 Pablo Torre? So, speaking of the fun, Katie and I had dinner that week in LA. You were there randomly. And Katie provided me a strategy that I didn't. I brought it to the team. I brought the strategy to the team. Could you explain the strategy?
16:29 Speaker 05 Okay, so I, like I said, I watch a lot of Family Feud. And Pablo, I think when we had that dinner was like, I don't watch it. Almost borderline never seen it in the sense that like, everybody's seen it, but you have not watched it recently.
16:41 Pablo Torre? I've never, I've never broken down the all 22.
16:43 Speaker 05 Sure. And so I was kind of telling him like, okay, you know, say good answer after every answer. That's kind of a common, you gotta wanna, even if it's the worst answer you've ever heard, you gotta hit him with a good answer, be very encouraging.
16:53 Pablo Torre? Check.
16:53 Speaker 05 And a good teammate, which I did notice you did a bunch. I'm very proud of you. But I also, then I went into something that later on my Uber ride back to my hotel, I was like, I don't think I should have told Pablo that. I think that was too Inside Feud. It was too next level.
17:07 Pablo Torre? From the subreddit.
17:08 Speaker 05 And when I told them that there was, you know, they give you, once you get the answer, they're like, do you want to pass or do you want to play?
17:14 Pablo Torre? Do you kick or receive?
17:15 Speaker 05 Yes, and I said, um, almost everybody says play, because you're there to play the game. But technically, sometimes, it's not a bad strategy to pass.
17:26 Pablo Torre? Right.
17:26 Speaker 05 Because if there's a ton of answers on the board.
17:28 Pablo Torre? Seven or more.
17:29 Speaker 05 Right? Is that what it was? Did I say that specifically?
17:31 Pablo Torre? Yes, you get to see on the board how many cards are there to be turned over. And if there are seven or more statistically, to get all of those right is so unlikely. And that's the only way you can get the points, if you, if you choose to play.
17:43 Speaker 05 Exactly.
17:44 Pablo Torre? And so what if you were to just tank?
17:46 Speaker 05 If you wait.
17:46 Pablo Torre? What if you were to tank the buzzer and?
17:49 Speaker 05 You let them get three wrong, then it comes back to you. You only have to get one answer. And you can have collaborated on what that one answer is.
17:56 Speaker 02 Oh my god, woke over here, analytics over there. Can we just play the [bleep] feud?
18:05 Speaker 03 Finish him. Hey, take it easy, take it easy. Top seven answers on the board. Name something a man might say is actually an upside to being in jail.
18:19 Speaker 03 They, um...
18:30 Speaker 03 When you hit the buzzer, you're supposed to say something.
18:32 Speaker 05 I'm like, how inappropriate can we be?
18:37 Speaker 05 Right?
18:37 Speaker 03 Okay, Michelle?
18:39 Speaker 05 No rent.
18:40 Speaker 03 No rent?
18:47 Speaker 03 Ja. Uh, alone time. Alone time.
18:58 Pablo Torre? Immediately, we're like...
18:59 Speaker 04 They got the woke out of there pretty quickly again.
19:03 Speaker 02 How can that not be? How can that be no spouse? How can that be?
19:07 Speaker 05 I know.
19:08 Speaker 02 How can that only be wife?
19:11 Speaker 04 They're not letting the woke wound your feud, Dan?
19:14 Pablo Torre? That's right. The carceral state. Number one thing about it, no wife.
19:21 Speaker 05 That's everybody's number one review.
19:23 Pablo Torre? You, you could tell, by the way, that like, our plan immediately, like, hypothetically, made sense. It's like, seven answers on the board, all of that stuff. But we just, a recurring theme is that we are very slow. On the buzzer. The good news, though, the silver lining was that the plan, the logic of the plan, is borne out. It begins to work because the category is super hard.
19:45 Speaker 05 Mm.
19:46 Pablo Torre? Seven answers, and just to speed through it, so number one, no wife slash family.
19:52 Speaker 05 Ridiculous.
19:52 Pablo Torre? Number two, meals a day.
19:55 Speaker 05 Three meals a day, yep.
19:56 Pablo Torre? Number three is no rent slash bills, saw that. Number six is no job. Number seven is meet new friends.
20:04 Speaker 05 Mm.
20:05 Pablo Torre? And so
20:06 Speaker 05 Really?
20:06 Pablo Torre? The four and five answers are left blank, and so we have a chance now to steal the category.
20:12 Speaker 02 All right, here's your chance. Name something a man might say is actually an upside to being in jail. Uh, Steve, we're gonna go with, uh, street cred.
20:19 Speaker 05 Good answer. Good answer.
20:25 Speaker 02 Too good. The answer was too good.
20:28 Pablo Torre? Yeah, so we're down.
20:30 Speaker 05 I will say, this is where the Harvard and the, like, dream team assembly thing is actually not the greatest for this type of game. This game is average American. You're supposed to think, like, what is some dummy that's answering this poll going to say? Not, what is the smartest, cleverest answer?
20:47 Pablo Torre? Yeah, this, this became clear with the next category.
20:50 Speaker 02 We got the top seven answers on the board. Name something sexy you'd never wanna see your mother wearing.
20:56 Speaker 05 Oh, God, I hated this.
20:59 Speaker 02 Thong? A thong. Whoa.
21:02 Speaker 05 Good answer.
21:03 Speaker 02 Exceptional answer.
21:06 Speaker 05 But not number one.
21:08 Speaker 02 I mean, I would assume just lingerie, right?
21:12 Speaker 05 A teddy is a wild thing to say. But there it is.
21:16 Pablo Torre? There it is.
21:17 Speaker 05 Also, nighty, nighty doesn't evoke sexy to me. Nighty is like a long-
21:21 Speaker 04 That's the most John Legend answer of all time, though. Like, of course he would say a teddy.
21:25 Pablo Torre? Yeah, an answer that's basically crooned, even if it's said, is teddy. Um, you could see, by the way, uh, if you, again, grind the all 22, you can see Michelle, we, after gets the answer right, look back at us being like, are we gonna, are we gonna pass?
21:37 Speaker 05 Oh, that's funny.
21:37 Pablo Torre? And then, of course, the choice is taken from our hand because John Legend
21:40 Speaker 05 Thank God.
21:41 Pablo Torre? gets it right with teddy. But again, Katie, it's seven answers.
21:45 Speaker 05 Yep.
21:45 Pablo Torre? And then, of course, they don't get all seven because getting all seven is statistically almost impossible, it turns out.
21:50 Speaker 02 We got two strikes. We gotta be careful. Chain team can steal.
21:53 Speaker 03 Sheer or see-through clothing?
21:55 Speaker 02 Sheer or see-through clothing?
21:58 Speaker 03 Good answer, Lana. Thank you, thank you.
22:08 Speaker 05 All right, here we go. Name something sexy you'd never want to see your mother wearing. Uh, birthday suit. Nothing. Her birthday suit.
22:21 Pablo Torre? Bikini, bra, miniskirt, sexy maid costume.
22:25 Speaker 05 What?
22:26 Pablo Torre? Stripper heels.
22:27 Speaker 02 Cheerleader outfit.
22:29 Speaker 05 Sexy maid, but not schoolgirl.
22:32 Pablo Torre? Specific fetishes.
22:33 Speaker 05 You could see your mom in a schoolgirl.
22:34 Speaker 02 Halloween slut outfit.
22:40 Pablo Torre? We're down 141 points to zero.
22:43 Speaker 05 Crazy.
22:44 Pablo Torre? This is when, I don't know if Katie ever experienced this, I presume not, in Celebrity Jeopardy. This is when the stage manager comes by and is like, "Don't give up. Do not give up. You can come back. It's possible to win the game."
22:57 Speaker 02 You got the Jim Valvano speech during Family Feud because you were down 141 to nothing? Don't ever give up?
23:04 Pablo Torre? We did not believe in miracles. We were contemplating increasingly that this was going to be just a series of viral humiliations. Nobody more concerned about this, by the way.
23:16 Speaker 05 Mina.
23:16 Pablo Torre? Than our dear friend Mina Kimes.
23:21 Speaker 05 Welcome back, Celebrity Family Feud. The legend team got 141. Jane team not on the board. Give me Jane, give me Mina. Come on.
23:31 Speaker 02 At this point, you feel like you're embarrassing your Asian brethren, right? You feel like... No handshake?
23:38 Speaker 03 Wow.
23:39 Speaker 05 Nothing.
23:40 Speaker 03 Comeback starts here. Comeback starts here.
23:42 Speaker 05 Yeah. Point value is doubled. He's so focused. Top seven answers on the board.
23:46 Speaker 02 Again.
23:47 Speaker 05 Crazy. What kitchen gadget?
23:49 Speaker 02 Would you compare your love making to?
23:53 Speaker 03 A wooden spatula.
23:54 Speaker 05 What?
23:57 Speaker 05 What?
24:00 Speaker 04 Hi.
24:01 Speaker 02 A wooden spatula.
24:03 Speaker 05 And she goes, I don't put.
24:05 Speaker 02 Get a splinter in it.
24:07 Speaker 05 I don't put.
24:08 Speaker 02 A wooden spatula.
24:10 Speaker 04 Underrated line of the show. Get a splinter.
24:13 Speaker 05 I'm gonna go with nothing.
24:17 Speaker 02 Oven.
24:20 Speaker 05 Hey. Oh, what are they gonna do?
24:23 Speaker 02 We go play.
24:24 Pablo Torre? We, Mina, unilaterally was like, we're not getting skunked like this. We're receiving.
24:31 Speaker 05 We need to play, yeah.
24:31 Pablo Torre? We're playing.
24:32 Speaker 04 Yeah.
24:32 Speaker 05 The right call.
24:34 Pablo Torre? The stage manager also, by the way.
24:35 Speaker 04 Absolutely the right call. You didn't come out here to lay up.
24:37 Speaker 05 Exactly.
24:38 Speaker 04 It'd drive her off the tee.
24:39 Speaker 05 If the game wasn't going the way it was going, it would be nuts to pass with zero points. We finally got it. No thanks. You guys take this one.
24:48 Speaker 02 Wait a minute.
24:50 Pablo Torre? That was his third Sixers season that they tanked in. It was like, guys, really?
24:53 Speaker 05 Guys, come on.
24:53 Pablo Torre? Again?
24:54 Speaker 02 I feel like what Katie just did there is what I spent like seven seasons ago yelling about in football, that you have to go for it on fourth and short, and then someone would fail on fourth and short, and people would yell at me, you idiot, you can't go for it. She just made the correct argument, and in fact, taught me something about feud strategy I did not know by saying, you gotta pass when there are seven of them, but not if you have zero points and you have a chance on behalf of Asia to be sent home not getting to ever play the game.
25:24 Speaker 04 That is tough.
25:24 Pablo Torre? Billions. I could feel the billions upon billions of people on the planet pressuring me as this happened.
25:33 Speaker 02 Come on, here we go. Come on, Pablo, let's go, baby. What kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?
25:39 Pablo Torre? Steve? I'm gonna compare it to a blender.
25:42 Speaker 02 A blender?
25:43 Speaker 05 When I said it, I was like, let's go, Pablo.
25:45 Speaker 02 Putting it on you.
25:49 Speaker 05 Big, big.
25:51 Speaker 04 We should have known right after that that Pablo was destined for great things on this show.
25:55 Speaker 05 Big, huge. Putting it on ya.
25:57 Speaker 02 Did Steve Harvey just say that Pablo in the bedroom is putting it on ya? Cause it's not a way I've ever looked at Pablo before.
26:07 Speaker 05 Or blenders.
26:08 Pablo Torre? That is a LinkedIn endorsement now on my profile. Steve Harvey, Dash.
26:12 Speaker 05 He said, "Just putting it on ya."
26:13 Pablo Torre? He puts it on ya.
26:14 Speaker 05 Amazing.
26:16 Pablo Torre? It was not a concern because luckily, our team, our team captain, is the head of a food empire, a food media company, and they were going next.
26:26 Speaker 05 Yeah, true.
26:27 Speaker 02 Chris, what kitchen gadget will you compare your lovemaking to? My lovemaking is most similar to a potato masher. My?
26:36 Speaker 05 Specific.
26:36 Speaker 04 Good answer. See, again, too inside baseball.
26:40 Speaker 05 Yes.
26:43 Speaker 05 I do love the way he makes one up.
26:49 Speaker 02 David, what kitchen gadget would you compare your lovemaking to?
26:54 Speaker 05 You gotta get this one, dude. Come on.
26:56 Speaker 02 He's quick like a microwave oven.
26:58 Speaker 05 A microwave oven, cause it's quick.
27:00 Speaker 02 Like a microwave oven.
27:02 Speaker 05 On brand, too.
27:03 Speaker 04 Good answer.
27:04 Speaker 02 D plus thirty.
27:08 Speaker 02 Microwave.
27:12 Speaker 02 The idea that Michelle Wu would be suffering this indignity, and I know her to be less competitive on that panel than Mina Kimes, who right now, like lava is spewing from her ears because she's embarrassing herself nationally and internationally.
27:28 Pablo Torre? She was mad.
27:29 Speaker 04 And she weaponized that to immediately not help David Chang get an answer in a field that he knows very well, but to remind him that the eyes of the nation expect him to excel in his field.
27:41 Speaker 05 She was like, "You better get this right."
27:43 Pablo Torre? You gotta get this, comma, dude, slash, mother [bleep].
27:48 Speaker 05 Also, the tone of it was like, "We gotta get this."
27:51 Pablo Torre? Like, it was just increasingly aggro.
27:53 Speaker 05 Yeah.
27:53 Speaker 04 She was the audience yelling at him at home from right next to him that was supposed to be the supportive teammate.
28:02 Pablo Torre? And also, just so we can get Mina's actual thoughts on the matter herself, here she is on an episode of the Dave Chang Show. Show that we just taped, explaining what was going through her mind as all of us were getting zero answers correct.
28:17 Speaker 03 When the questions and the answers started coming in and we saw how dumb, they're dumb. It's not elitist to me to say, they're dumb questions with dumb answers. I think that's just accurate. However, because I'm competitive, when we started losing, I pivoted to, this game is dumb and I hate it. It's for idiots so quickly. And I feel like we all did.
28:41 Pablo Torre? My whole thing, by the way, at this point was like, and I had to sort of, who am I channeling? What's my motivation? Right? I'm not me. Who am I trying to be? I'm like, oh, what would Homer Simpson do was the question. That was like, what would Homer Simpson do? If he was being polled by the survey? I don't think Michelle, we necessarily approached it in the same way. Michelle, we got two strikes. The legend team can steal.
29:05 Speaker 03 Air fryer?
29:06 Pablo Torre? And fire.
29:12 Pablo Torre? It don't really fry. It just makes you think it's fried.
29:18 Pablo Torre? Air fryer.
29:22 Pablo Torre? And so of course Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, they smell blood. Chrissy darling, what kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?
29:32 Speaker 03 I'm gonna go with slow cooker. Slow cooker.
29:40 Speaker 02 John Legend.
29:42 Pablo Torre? Literally crooning.
29:44 Speaker 04 Did he unbutton another button during that answer?
29:50 Speaker 05 Crazy. That's four hours. The lowest you can cook something on slow cookers, four hours. That's insane. I'd be tapping way out.
29:57 Speaker 02 Do you guys know how hard it is for me, forgive the phrasing of that, to be jealous of the bedroom life of two people while I'm watching Family Feud based on just how they answered that?
30:14 Speaker 04 Like she did not actually care about the actual ability of that answer to be. Right as much as it was to just remind people, hey.
30:22 Speaker 05 We, I'm a model and he's a crooner and we bang quite a bit for quite a long time.
30:29 Speaker 04 Everything you guys think is all true.
30:32 Speaker 05 The flavor is being stewed into the meat.
30:37 Speaker 05 Slowly throughout the day.
30:38 Speaker 02 And you thought Pablo put it on ya.
30:44 Pablo Torre? For the record here, the answers were in order from one to seven. Blender slash mixer, spoon slash ladle, hot oven, cork opener, can opener.
30:54 Speaker 05 Nuts.
30:54 Pablo Torre? Baster, whisk slash beater.
30:58 Speaker 05 Also, the fact that fork isn't on there is crazy. It sounds like nobody said fork. I just so, it was very frustrating. You had very frustrating questions.
31:07 Pablo Torre? I like that Katie is the election denier on the show.
31:10 Speaker 05 Stop this deal.
31:13 Pablo Torre? Luckily though, what we stole was 98 points.
31:16 Speaker 05 Nice.
31:17 Pablo Torre? We're on the board. We got no answers that actually deserve 98 points, but we got 98 points. And now I have to walk up to the buzzer.
31:27 Speaker 02 Give me Mike, give me Pablo.
31:37 Speaker 02 All right, fellas, point values are triple. We got the top four answers on the board. We asked 100 married men, if you woke up a single man tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd buy?
31:51 Pablo Torre? Car.
31:52 Speaker 02 A car.
31:58 Speaker 05 What is stopping you from buying a car when you have a wife?
32:03 Speaker 02 But Pablo, Pablo, real quick, so far, no one has actually won this game by doing it correctly. Correct? The only winners there are here are points given because the other people have failed.
32:17 Speaker 05 Yes.
32:26 Pablo Torre? Did you know over 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated? And 90% don't get enough potassium, which is a key electrolyte responsible for energy, muscle function, and clear thinking? Well, that's why you can be drinking water all day and still feel tired, or foggy, or just off. And while most hydration packs really load up on the sugar, Instant Hydration contains zero sugar. There's no glucose spike and no sugar crash. And that is really important to me, because it not only gives me electrolytes without loading me up with sugar, but it also helps me avoid that late afternoon crash. You know, that time of day when your eyes start drooping as you reply to yet another email, and you need something to get you back on track. Just mix a packet of Instant Hydration with water,
33:09 Pablo Torre? and I am feeling ready to push through to the end of the day. For a better way to stay hydrated, go to instanthydration.com/ptfo and use my promo code PTFO for over 40% off your first subscription order. It's Instant Hydration's best offer available.

35:46 Pablo Torre? So, uh, just so we can speed through this part, nobody gets anything right on that side. And so, the opportunity to steal again! To Dan's point, this entire game is actually a validation of Katie's strategy, which is "try to steal." Try to steal. But before we do, something happens that I don't know has ever happened in the history of Celebrity Family Feud or anything. It's pathetic, and it is voiced by Steve Harvey himself. Come on out the huddle, because I've got some news for you. Here's the deal. This is how bad this game has been going. If it's there or...
36:25 Speaker 04 Or not, we gonna play sudden death. Because we don't have enough points to reach 300. Man, we did it.
36:34 Speaker 05 We did it.
36:36 Speaker 04 So, the pressure's all off, but let's just see anyway. All right. We asked 100 married men, if you woke up a single man tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd buy? Motorcycle, Steve. Good answer. A motorcycle.
36:54 Speaker 05 Oh, not good enough.
36:55 Speaker 02 These answers that you guys are giving are just clearly too good.
37:00 Pablo Torre? This was Mina's thought, which you can hear her think as we hear what the answers turned out to be.
37:09 Speaker 05 They're so stupid. They're so stupid.
37:15 Speaker 05 Oh, no.
37:16 Pablo Torre? Mina is at that moment, reading her own mentions from the future.
37:23 Speaker 05 Oh, my God, she so is. She's doing the mental math of how this is gonna go for her.
37:28 Pablo Torre? And by the way, like, so Gojo, I think, could get this sense from being around us pre-game. But like, David Chang and Chris Yang, these are business partners' friends. But Chang doesn't trust Chris? That's why, so Dan was asking, like, what's the lineup order? The lineup order was that whatever it is, Chris Yang is last. Because David Chang regards him as a choker.
37:50 Pablo Torre? And just so you know that I am not exaggerating any of this, here is Dave Chang, on The Dave Chang Show, describing Chris Yang's history of choking.
38:00 Speaker 02 Listen, Chris Yang is well-known to choke under pressure at ordering in a restaurant, okay? He orders the most ridiculous things because he's so nervous that the waiter is waiting too long for an answer, that I was like, man, this, we won't even need Chris at that.
38:19 Speaker 04 I'll have two Cobb salads.
38:23 Speaker 02 Yeah, so that's why I was like, Chris is gonna be great, just don't put him in a high-pressure situation.
38:28 Pablo Torre? He does not want him to go to the buzzer. In Family Feud rules, the first four people of your team don't, they go to the buzzer, the fifth person does not.
38:35 Speaker 05 Right.
38:36 Pablo Torre? Unless, unless.
38:39 Speaker 05 Unless you suck so bad.
38:40 Pablo Torre? An unprecedented sudden-death, sub-300 buzz-off in which suddenly the fifth starting rotation has to go up with everything on the line and do this.
38:52 Speaker 04 Well, nobody reached 300 points, so we gonna...
38:54 Speaker 02 Play sudden death.
38:56 Speaker 05 He has to say that part.
38:57 Speaker 02 Give me Chris. I've never seen that before.
39:00 Speaker 04 In his most excited game show host voice, the most disappointed he's ever been.
39:05 Speaker 05 It's, I've seen it in real, but I've never seen it in celebrity. Oh my god.
39:09 Speaker 02 For this survey, we're asking for the top answer only. Whoever gets this one answer will win the game. Good luck to both of you. Here we go. Name a color used in camouflage.
39:21 Pablo Torre? So just to pause this here, um, this is the most insultingly easy category in the history of game shows.
39:31 Speaker 05 Mm-hmm.
39:31 Pablo Torre? What is the color associated with camouflage? And there is just one stupid answer. It is the opposite of our strategy. We have to buzz first and say the obvious answer. Just say it. Chris Ying, buzz in and say it.
39:46 Speaker 02 Joker. Camouflage.
39:49 Speaker 02 Green. Green.
39:57 Speaker 05 Look at him, look at him.
39:59 Speaker 04 Chris Ying is Kirk Cousins, leading the game-winning drive on Monday Night Football with the Atlanta Falcons. A whole game of relative mediocrity in the passing game for someone not known as a clutch performer, and in the biggest spot, he absolutely lands the play.
40:14 Speaker 02 I have two observations here, two observations. One is that that got only 82 out of 100 people on green, uh, which is funny by itself, but also the only way that I can interpret what that question was, the way that I heard it, is what color is green? Like, that's how I heard it.
40:35 Speaker 05 It's like Celebrity Jeopardy SNL.
40:38 Speaker 02 They're trying to help toddlers win the game that they're bad at.
40:42 Speaker 05 What noise does a doggy make?
40:44 Pablo Torre? They're like, the runtime of this show does not accommodate an extra round, so let's make sure we get this one. Um, we won the game 98 to 285.
40:55 Speaker 05 Okay.
40:56 Pablo Torre? We lost the game by being down 187 points, but because of green, made it to Fast Money. Fast Money, for those who are not familiar, is the part of the show where you're charity. This is for charity. Let's also remember that, I guess. That's important. Um, they win all the money if you can crack 200 points.
41:13 Speaker 02 That question, by the way, was also charity, to be clear.
41:19 Speaker 02 Hey, I need two of you. I got David in trouble. Oh, David, hey, thanks. We'll be right back. Fast Money right after this.
41:27 Pablo Torre? Gojo, explain what you saw.
41:29 Speaker 04 Originally, you guys had selected you and Mina to represent the team up there.
41:34 Pablo Torre? Yes.
41:34 Speaker 04 But they wanted to have David up there because it was his team. And so Mina had to go back to the bullpen. This was not seen on TV, but this is the behind the scenes part of this that they had to decide.
41:45 Speaker 02 No.
41:46 Pablo Torre? Yeah. Dan, there is a take of this where me and Mina are standing on either side of Steve Harvey about to do Fast Money.
41:53 Speaker 05 I would love to see her face. I want to see that.
41:55 Speaker 02 Pablo, you gotta get that. You gotta call the feud and you gotta get, you gotta get them to give you the audio that hasn't been released. You have to.
42:03 Pablo Torre? It gets better because me and Mina are locked in, obviously. Chang didn't want to do it.
42:10 Speaker 05 Right.
42:11 Pablo Torre? That's why Mina and I were there.
42:13 Speaker 05 Yeah.
42:13 Pablo Torre? And the stage manager, who was like, uh, by the way, guys, please don't give up, was like, uh, by the way, guys, this is Celebrity Family Feud. The captain of the team needs to do this. You coward.
42:23 Speaker 05 You guys should have argued back. We're all so famous, okay?
42:27 Pablo Torre? Have you ever watched, yeah, afternoon sports television at a sports bar with?
42:30 Speaker 05 We're very famous to a very niche group.
42:33 Pablo Torre? That's right. This was the third take, by the way. So at one point, Steve Harvey says, uh, David, good to see you. Because Chang was so discombobulated.
42:43 Speaker 02 Yes.
42:44 Pablo Torre? You remember this, Gojo? He walks out and he keeps on walking offstage. He doesn't stop. It's like the opposite of when Michael Vick scored that touchdown against the Vikings, where he runs out the tunnel, except it's before anything is actually scored.
43:01 Speaker 05 Why?
43:02 Pablo Torre? Because he didn't know what was happening.
43:03 Speaker 02 And doesn't want to do it. Like, clearly doesn't.
43:06 Pablo Torre? And he's afraid.
43:06 Speaker 02 He's been badgered into doing something, bullied into a stage manager. Look, I don't want to talk about why it is that meekness is not acceptable in these circumstances, but walking off of the stage three times because you're afraid of a stage manager does not deserve to be a captain of one of these teams.
43:28 Speaker 05 Oh, no.
43:29 Pablo Torre? After the successful Take Three, I get sent backstage, so I go second. So immediately, we're like, I should probably go last.
43:40 Speaker 05 So there's not so much pressure on him? He doesn't pass out like a goat?
43:43 Pablo Torre? Trying to help Chang. They send me backstage, and I have big headphones on.
43:48 Speaker 05 Yeah, because they ask the same five questions.
43:49 Pablo Torre? Exactly.
43:50 Speaker 05 And you have to give the, and you cannot give the same answer as each other.
43:52 Pablo Torre? And so, of course, I've never seen the backstage of Family Feud. It is an even more intimidating place. Headphones go on, big headphones like these. And on loop in my headphones is the song "Hey Jealousy."
44:06 Speaker 05 Huh. Gin blossoms?
44:09 Pablo Torre? So there was a security guard standing in front of me, looking. And in front of him was the monitor, in which you could see everything. And so, he had that monitor at like a one-degree angle past what I could see. Almost daring me to try and like break out and like peek around the corner. Instead, I'm just like locking eyes with this man.
44:29 Speaker 05 I would just close my eyes.
44:31 Pablo Torre? As he is watching this, as "Hey Jealousy," and like a Clockwork Orange, like just military-style torture experiment is playing over and over again, which means that I could not experience what Gojo got to see in the audience, which was this.
44:48 Speaker 06 And now it's time to play.
44:54 Speaker 06 All right, you ready? Let's go. 20 seconds on the clock, please. We ask 100 men. You're naked in the woods. Someone walks by. What do you cover yourself with?
45:07 Pablo Torre? Uh, branches.
45:08 Speaker 06 On a scale of 1 to 10, how nice are your neighbors?
45:12 Pablo Torre? 2.
45:12 Speaker 06 Name the greatest breakfast food ever created. Burrito. Name someone you should never call when you're drunk.
45:21 Speaker 06 Police. Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish. Quarter.
45:28 Speaker 06 All right, let's go. We ask 100 men. You're naked in the woods. Someone walks by. What do you cover yourself with? You said? Some branches. Survey said?
45:41 Speaker 06 On a scale of 1 to 10, how nice are your neighbors? You said? 2. Survey said?
45:51 Speaker 06 Name the greatest- Breakfast food ever created. You said. The burrito.
46:01 Speaker 06 Survey said.
46:05 Speaker 06 Yeah. Name someone you should never call when you're drunk. You said. Oh, yeah, the police. Hello, it's me. Survey said.
46:19 Speaker 05 That's so funny. Wow.
46:22 Speaker 06 Name a point you throw into a fountain to make a wish. You said. Quarter. Survey said.
46:32 Pablo Torre? Just hello, it's me.
46:35 Speaker 05 So funny.
46:36 Pablo Torre? Being roasted by Steve.
46:37 Speaker 05 Don't call the cops and say you're hammered. I thought it was a better answer than eight.
46:42 Pablo Torre? Goja, what was the mood in the room?
46:44 Speaker 04 Extremely down, like it had been the entire time. Like, this was the extension of exactly what you guys had put on tape so far this performance. And so now you were coming up into arguably the most high pressure environment in game shows, where you are the last lifeline for this team. And I am so fascinated to get a peek under the hood, Pablo, because like Katie, we all sit at home and play this and yell it out, but it's impossible to replicate the circumstances that you walked into here. And I love you, but you were wearing the nerves coming out. Like, I could see it on you as you walked out and put those headphones off.
47:19 Pablo Torre? I walked out, okay? Headphones off, HLSE is over. I walk out, I immediately notice a, a, almost like depressive Mina Kimes.
47:29 Speaker 05 Yeah, she was stone faced.
47:31 Pablo Torre? And, and the mood in the room is a mixture of things that is confusing to me and only making me more and more terrified.
47:42 Speaker 05 Put you in her, like a puppy they put in a room and he's like, what?
47:45 Pablo Torre? Right.
47:46 Speaker 05 There's a lot of sensory overload.
47:48 Pablo Torre? I, I may have started peeing down my leg.
47:55 Speaker 02 Well, Pablo.
47:56 Pablo Torre? Yeah, Steve.
47:57 Speaker 02 It's gonna take a massive effort.
48:01 Pablo Torre? Okay.
48:02 Speaker 02 He didn't do bad.
48:04 Pablo Torre? Okay, okay.
48:05 Speaker 02 He got 54.
48:06 Pablo Torre? Okay.
48:07 Speaker 02 Yeah.
48:07 Pablo Torre? That's all right.
48:08 Speaker 02 Yeah.
48:11 Speaker 02 All right. You gotta do Pablo! I believe in you, Pablo! Now, listen to me. Listen to me. You got all the number ones left. On regular Family Feud, I've seen people make this comeback.
48:24 Speaker 02 This will be the first on Celebrity. Pablo, you can do what's never been done before. You can make history as the highest second contestant ever in the history of Celebrity Family Feud. Come on. It's gonna be a little bit tougher. We're gonna give you 25 seconds.
48:42 Speaker 05 How high were you, actually?
48:43 Pablo Torre? I was, I was residually stoned. It was in my bloodstream.
48:47 Speaker 05 He was clearly, like, meant to say something else, but the way he said that and your face just went...
48:52 Pablo Torre? It, it was one of those things where I'm like...
48:55 Speaker 05 Does he know?
48:56 Pablo Torre? Does Steve Harvey know?
48:57 Speaker 05 Does he know?
48:58 Pablo Torre? What's up?
48:59 Speaker 05 That I'm pretty high right now?
49:01 Pablo Torre? Does Steve Harvey, uh, expect me to not look into the camera and break the fourth wall and acknowledge what was just said?
49:07 Speaker 05 You seemed not that nervous to me there. You were very like, okay, that's doable, the little point.
49:13 Pablo Torre? That...
49:14 Speaker 05 Confidence.
49:15 Pablo Torre? Honestly, when Steve said that, it kind of broke me out of a spell a bit.
49:18 Speaker 05 Huh.
49:19 Pablo Torre? And I was like, oh, okay, wait a minute.
49:20 Speaker 02 As the drug's wearing off, opportunity has arrived. Yeah.
49:25 Pablo Torre? I will say, I did, um, from there, uh, mostly blackout.
49:31 Speaker 02 You ready?
49:32 Pablo Torre? I'm ready, Steve.
49:32 Speaker 02 All right, let's remind everybody of David's answers. 25 seconds on the clock, please. Let's go, man.
49:38 Pablo Torre? All right.
49:39 Speaker 02 We asked 100 men, you're naked in the woods, someone walks by, what do you cover yourself with?
49:46 Pablo Torre? A leaf.
49:47 Speaker 02 On a scale of 1 to 10, how nice are your neighbors?
49:52 Pablo Torre? Four.
49:52 Speaker 06 Name the greatest breakfast food ever created.
49:55 Pablo Torre? Bacon.

49:59 Pablo Torre? Your mom.
50:00 Speaker 06 Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish.

50:05 Speaker 05 So fast, so fast.
50:07 Speaker 04 You were, that was Will Ferrell in old school.
50:09 Speaker 05 Yes.
50:10 Pablo Torre? I truly like lost consciousness, pure instinct.
50:13 Speaker 05 Look at you.
50:15 Speaker 06 We asked 100 men, you're naked in the woods, someone walks by, what do you cover yourself with? You said, a leaf. Survey said.
50:29 Speaker 04 Right there, we knew we had a shot. Fifty out the gate.
50:32 Speaker 05 Yep.
50:33 Pablo Torre? It's a big leaf.
50:34 Speaker 06 Leaf?
50:35 Speaker 05 It's a big leaf, he says. A good specification.
50:38 Speaker 04 It's a big leaf.
50:38 Speaker 05 Big leaf.
50:39 Speaker 06 We need 94 points. On a scale of one to 10, how nice are your neighbors? You said, about a four. Survey said.
50:51 Speaker 06 The number one answer was 10. 10.
50:54 Pablo Torre? I'm from New York. Who likes their neighbors after?
50:56 Speaker 06 For real, for real, bro, for real. Name the greatest breakfast food ever created. You said, bacon. Survey said.
51:11 Speaker 05 Number one answer 23.
51:12 Pablo Torre? What would Homer Simpson do? What would Homer Simpson do?
51:16 Speaker 06 We need 71.
51:18 Speaker 05 Number one answer 23, very low.
51:19 Speaker 06 Name someone you should never call when you're drunk. You said, don't ever call your mom. Survey said.
51:30 Pablo Torre? 37, come on.
51:31 Speaker 05 Come on, come on, come on.
51:33 Speaker 06 The number one answer?
51:36 Pablo Torre? Come on, Paul.
51:37 Speaker 06 Was your ex.
51:38 Pablo Torre? Thank you, John Legend.
51:39 Speaker 05 I love that. I love that so much.
51:42 Speaker 06 Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish. You said, the penny.
51:50 Speaker 05 Yes. Man of the people.
51:51 Speaker 06 Survey said. Oh my God.
51:56 Pablo Torre? Why?
52:00 Speaker 05 It's still exciting. It's still electric.
52:04 Speaker 02 My god. Pablo's little like, what was that?
52:08 Pablo Torre? That was a sea walk.
52:09 Speaker 02 It was a sea walk. No, but before that, Palms Out, he was Russell Crowe in Gladiator. Are you not entertained? That is the most confident Pablo has ever been. Come to me, Steve Harvey and the feud and the adoring masses out there. I am the greatest thing you have ever seen.
52:29 Speaker 04 Who was it that compared you to Peter Weber? Who do you think you are? I am?
52:33 Pablo Torre? Yes. I did not remember reacting like that, obviously.
52:39 Speaker 05 Yeah.
52:39 Pablo Torre? Um, when I watched it back, I was like, it kind of looks like I'm waiting for Steve Harvey to catch me. Like, I wanted to, you know, jump into his arms. He did not. He turned away.
52:49 Speaker 05 Yeah.
52:50 Pablo Torre? But what was cut down, Gojo, you were there. In my mind, we celebrated for like 30 minutes.
52:57 Speaker 04 Weren't you on the ground for a little while?
53:00 Pablo Torre? So I collapsed onto the ground and started doing like the Homer Simpson spinning around on his back thing.
53:05 Speaker 05 Why?
53:07 Pablo Torre? Because I was just feeling all of the feelings I had never allowed myself to feel before.
53:12 Speaker 05 Crazy feeling to feel on a television set.
53:14 Pablo Torre? My feeling was, I think this is what Tom Brady must feel like.
53:18 Speaker 05 And that's what he's always doing, spinning around on his back.
53:22 Pablo Torre? Above me, I looked up. This is not a joke. It was cut from the episode. I looked up almost as if on an operating table post-surgery. And there was Chrissy Teigen, like with fake defibrillators on my chest, like getting into the routine of me like being on the floor like comatose. Um, all of that got cut.
53:41 Speaker 05 Wow. I wonder why.
53:43 Pablo Torre? Yeah, I feel like it wasn't, uh, wasn't budgeted in the time allotted.
53:47 Speaker 02 Can we get, can we ask the feud people to get that for us?
53:51 Speaker 05 We need the Mina footage and then we also need you spinning on the ground like a potato bug.
53:55 Pablo Torre? The PTFO investigation is forthcoming.
53:58 Speaker 05 Yes, please find out.
54:00 Speaker 02 After the question about being nude in the woods, you said a leaf and then you went to a big leaf. Uh, you wanted to point that out and you had another joke in the holster that Steve Harvey started to talk over. Where were you going with the big leaf, the banana leaf? Where were you headed?
54:19 Pablo Torre? I think, I think I was going towards, um... Banana leaf, but I was gonna like, you know, make it even more, obviously a penis.
54:29 Speaker 05 I think that, I think we got it.
54:30 Pablo Torre? I think.
54:31 Speaker 05 When you said leaf, I think everybody went, huh? And so it's a good thing that you clarified. It was the number one answer to be fair.
54:37 Pablo Torre? A banana leaf is enormous, by the way. We're gonna put up a photo of a banana leaf.
54:40 Speaker 05 Definitely do that. Definitely do that.
54:42 Pablo Torre? I mean, it's just one of the biggest leaves.
54:44 Speaker 05 Sure.
54:45 Speaker 04 Yeah, definitely Google Pablo's banana leaf.
54:47 Pablo Torre? Yeah, I was like, billions of, billions of Asian people want me to yell banana leaf just to clarify. Was my...
54:53 Speaker 05 See, I would've said a bush and that would've gotten me in my own type of trouble, you know?
55:02 Speaker 05 You did it, Pablo!
55:03 Speaker 02 Yes, yes!
55:05 Speaker 05 You did it!
55:06 Speaker 02 Yes!
55:21 Pablo Torre? I didn't realize, when I showed up that day, that I would become the highest second contestant in the history of Celebrity Family Feud. But that's what, that's what it was like. It made me think of great game show contestants, like Katie Nolan, of course.
55:36 Speaker 05 Yes, of course.
55:37 Pablo Torre? The trilogy we chronicled.
55:38 Speaker 05 Yes, of course.
55:38 Pablo Torre? On PTFO at length in this way.
55:41 Speaker 02 Here we go, here we go.
55:42 Pablo Torre? And also, and also Mike Golic Jr., and also, Dan Lebatard.
55:46 Speaker 02 Have you seen this?
55:47 Speaker 05 Oh.
55:48 Speaker 02 Have you seen this, Gojo?
55:48 Speaker 05 Yes, I have, and I love this.
55:50 Speaker 04 No!
55:51 Speaker 05 We have with us here on our very stage, here in Orlando, the Hurricanes of Miami of Florida.
56:02 Speaker 05 Auto racing now for both schools. In 1904, driving one of his own cars, this American drove one mile in under 40 seconds. That was an average speed of 91 miles an hour. Name that American...
56:16 Speaker 06 Auto manufacturer. Miami.
56:19 Speaker 03 Ford.
56:20 Speaker 06 Henry Ford, that is correct. Let's meet the players.
56:24 Speaker 03 I'm Dan Lebatard, I'm a 19-year-old sophomore majoring in news. 19. Journalists and politics. I'm from Miramar, Florida.
56:31 Speaker 06 All right, Hurricanes, glad to have you. And the 1972 Summer Olympic Games took place in what city? Oklahoma, Cam.
56:38 Speaker 03 Munich.
56:39 Speaker 06 Munich, is right. Which Boston Red Sox pitcher threw the most shutouts in 1987? Miami, Tom. Rock and Roll.
56:48 Speaker 06 All right, that wraps up our 100-second round, and Oklahoma is the champion.
56:54 Speaker 04 Dan's two-handed buzzer technique. I was just gonna say, you can learn so much about someone in this game based on how they caressed the buzzer. And Dan just fully, what made you switch from fully enveloping it in your closed hands to then offering that little sliver of it later on?
57:12 Speaker 02 I was leaking confidence throughout that. The part, the part that Pablo has not revealed is that, a couple of haunting things here. First, Cam from Oklahoma is someone who still haunts me 35 years later because he kicked our ass, but the answer that you saw that I got correctly, Ford, was my only correct answer the entire time, and the entire experience was so embarrassing that 30 years later, my brother would leave answering machine messages that would simply say, "Ford," and he'd hang up. Oh my god. Because it was the only thing I got right the entire time I was on there, was the single word "Ford."
57:54 Speaker 05 19 is crazy. I would've said 23, 19.
57:59 Pablo Torre? When was this?
58:01 Speaker 05 You're a fully grown man.
58:01 Pablo Torre? Where was this?
58:02 Speaker 02 I'm gonna go ahead and guess that this was 1980, 87? 87.
58:09 Speaker 05 The late 1900s.
58:11 Pablo Torre? Eighty-seven, eighty-eight. Oh, God, yes.
58:13 Speaker 02 Uh, this was, uh, in Orlando. It was Boardwalk and baseball somewhere near Disney World. And I will say that that, uh, leisure suit was the only suit that I owned. Uh, and it too was about 19 years old.
58:27 Speaker 04 I loved how mean a Kimes you were in not being able to hide your exasperation as you miss on the buzzer and just give this brief flash of anger before quelling all these feelings again.
58:38 Speaker 02 I was too slow. That's what kept happening to me. It's why I tell you, I'm, I'm not joking when I say it was legitimately thrilling to have you guys conquer those game shows. Uh, Katie, the brain game show and Pablo with like just amazing comeback.
58:57 Pablo Torre? The, the relatability game show.
59:00 Speaker 05 Mm-hmm.
59:00 Pablo Torre? Me, me.
59:01 Speaker 05 Yeah. This is like, feels like the make-a-wish thing you said to me when I did Jeopardy, Pablo said, "I can't shake the feeling. This feels like a make-a-wish type of situation." And I was like, "Thanks, buddy."
59:11 Pablo Torre? It was meant as a compliment.
59:12 Speaker 05 Thanks, buddy.
59:12 Speaker 02 What is the main color in camouflage? Isn't that? No.
59:17 Speaker 04 Pablo went all the way from being dissed for going to Harvard to answering with the penny.
59:22 Pablo Torre? Yes. I went all the way from being dissed to putting it on.
59:27 Speaker 05 Oh, God. I wish I didn't make eye contact with you when you did that.
59:31 Speaker 04 He said dissed. He said dissed.
59:34 Pablo Torre? With a, with a D.
59:35 Speaker 05 No. Stop saying more things.
