Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out.
I am Pablo Torre, and today we're gonna find out
what this sound is.
Oh, my God, woke over here, analytics over there.
Can we just play the f***ing feud?
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Right after this ad.
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
King's Network. How do stop losses work on Kraken?
Let's say I have a birthday party on Wednesday night, but an important meeting Thursday morning.
So sensible me pre-books a taxi for 10 p.m. with alerts.
Voila!
I won't be getting carried away and staying out till 2.
That's Stop Loss Orders on Kraken, an easy way to plan ahead.
Go to kraken.com and see what crypto can be.
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 LeBattard
that a narcissist has ever been.
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.
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 Gullick Jr.
That arena is Mike Gullick Jr.
Just being himself and it helped me so much. Good teammate.
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 Amina made that possible.
So the least I could do was bring golden retriever energy
to the audience.
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.
Nothing has felt more like climbing into a television than encountering Steve Harvey
in person.
He is a surreal entity.
What do you smell like?
What do you smell like?
Cologne?
Cologne?
He smelled like money.
That's dirty smelling.
That smells disgusting.
Money smells gross.
He smelled like money sprayed with cologne.
Okay. He smells disgusting. Money smells gross. He smelled like money sprayed with Kaleo. Ah, okay.

matter more at DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of the NFL.

to score a touchdown.

And inside of that soundstage,
the show began. It's time for Celebrity Family Feud!
From Freeform's Chris and Dave Dyson.
So awkward at this part.
I'm obsessed with how awkward you are.
Along with John Legend and...
Not the coolest I've ever looked.
No.
The way you just look at other people.
They're taking on Chrissy's co-star,
Chef David Chang and...
Looking at Mina, looking around.
Trying to look cool.
Why do they put you in order?
More starch than dry cleaning.
Having to do that opposite John Legend,
who is so effortlessly cool.
And Steve Harvey, who's so effortlessly cool.
Steve Harvey walks out there in a suit
that I've never seen before.
It's just like one in his color combination.
That's all one gleaming, shimmering color
that smells like, again, pheromones.
Satine, I think is what it's called.
I have no idea.
Fancy, very fancy.
You looked incredibly uncomfortable.
He dresses like a Bond villain. He does. he he immediately was like pointing to the real celebrities like John Legend. It's like that's his guy
Golden Globe and Tony Award winner
And it's currently on The Voice.
How you been, man?
Very good.
I'm looking to add Family Feud winner to my trophy list.
You know what?
Yeah, immediately, by the way, they did start to like talk some shit.
Oh.
We're a bit of a goof troop, but we're excited and we're ready.
Okay, well that's good.
We got some Harvard grads over there.
Is that talking shit?
I mean...
You graduated from Harvard?
That's right.
You do not know what it is like to be buried in talk **** if you think that is talking
****.
Well, this is what became very obvious to us immediately.
So David Chang had assembled, he'd casted this team of people who went to fancy schools.
So the team, I mean, 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 nerds to play Family Feud.
Let's go meet the Chang team.
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.
and New York Times bestselling author for his cookbooks. Ladies and gentlemen, Michelle Wee West everybody.
Pro golfer, five LPGA Tour wins.
I'm a big fan of yours.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Mina Kynes.
Analyst on NFL Live, journalist at ESPN.
Ladies and gentlemen, Pablo Tore.
Award-winning sportswriter, podcaster, and ESPN host, nice to meet you Pablo.
Ladies and gentlemen, last but not least, Chris Yeen, podcaster and co-host of Dinner Time Live.
How you doing, man?
I'm excellent.
The handshake was a big moment.
Vigorous.
What prompted that?
Why did he want that from you? I don't know.
Interesting.
No one else got their handshake displayed like that on our team.
Oh, did you pull his hand over to you?
It's like I sort of wanted him to do a...
It was like a...
That's the most alpha male boot camp endorsed handshake.
I've seen a presidential debate before.
I need to send an electric sort of worm jolt
into the guy I'm shaking hands with.
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?
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
truth-seeking media company that you and I, of course,
are so proud, so, so very proud to represent at all times.
And I still don't have a key card for it.
I still have to knock on the door to get in there.
Yeah, Katie does, sort of like Paul, like a cat.
I need a fob.
Yeah.
You guys had an agenda going into the naming. You guys almost not team Chang on this and we're making the ABC
Production staff very uncomfortable what with your guys attempted name-changing. 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
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 people were like, you know,
this is confusing for lots of reasons
because we are not related for the record.
We are not family.
I was going to say, you're not doing yourself any favors
with you and Mina aren't related, are related rumors.
So in this case, we were like, we want to be Team Asia.
And so we were telling this to the people
out outside of the set before the thing started.
And the producer, Gojo was there looking at him.
The white man's face, his response to being provided
the counter possibility of Team Asia was that of abject horror.
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.
And would have looked like Family Feud had named this team of Asian people Team Asia.
It also doesn't say team, right?
I think it just says Chang.
Oh, it would have just said Asia.
It would have just said Asia, which I think would not be good.
They went back and like talked to the bigger boss
He called really not do this he called his own manager and was like I need to call the manager
Can you guys get corporate? I'm incredibly white. I'm in
I'm in deep water here. Can I tell them they can't be Asian?
This is where we learned that ABC desperately needs more diversity.
Get your woke out of my family feud.
Just get it out of here, okay?
Get to the fun, please.
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 have.
I brought it to the team.
I brought the strategy to the team.
Could you explain the strategy?
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.
I've never, I've never broken down the all 22.
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 got to want to, even if it's the worst answer you've ever
heard, you got to hit him with a good answer.
Be very encouraging 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.
From the subreddit.
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?
You kick or receive.
Yes. And I said, almost everybody says play,
because you're there to play
the game but technically sometimes it's not a bad strategy to pass because if
there's a ton of answers on the board. Seven or more. Right? Is that what it was? Did I say that specifically?
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
exactly and so what if you were to just if you wait what if you were to tank the buzzer
and 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 oh my. Oh, my God. Woke over here, analytics over there. Can we just play the f***ing f**k?
-♪
-♪
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.
-♪
Dave. They...
Um...
Oh!
Oh!
When you hit the buzzer,
you're supposed to say something.
Well, I'm like,
how inappropriate can we be?
Right?
Okay, Michelle?
No rent. No rent.
No rent?
Oh!
John?
You can beat it.
Uh, alone time.
Alone time!
Immediately, we're like-
They got the woke out of there pretty quickly
They're not letting the woke wound your feud and that's right the carceral state number one thing about it no wife
state. Number one thing about it, no wife. You could tell by the way that like our plan immediately like hypothetically made sense. It's like seven answers on
the board, all 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 born out.
It begins to work because the category is super hard.
Seven answers.
And just to speed through it.
So number one, no wife slash family.
Ridiculous.
Number two, meals a day.
Three meals a day. Yep.
Number three is no rent slash bills.
Saw that. Number six is no job. Number three is no rent slash bills. Saw that.
Number six is no job.
Number seven is meet new friends.
And so...
Really?
The four and five answers are left blank.
And so we have a chance now to steal the category.
All right, here's your chance.
Name something a man might say is actually an upside to being in jail.
Steve, we're going to go with street cred.
Good answer. Good answer.
Good answer.
Cred!
Good answer.
Good answer.
Cred!
Too good.
The answer was too good.
Yeah, so we're down.
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. Yeah. This became clear with the next category.
We got the top seven answers on the board. Name something sexy you'd never want to see
your mother wearing. Oh God, I hated this. Thong?
Thong!
Whoa!
Good answer.
Exceptional answer.
But not number one.
I mean, I would assume just lingerie, right?
A teddy is a wild thing to say.
But there it is.
There it is.
Also, nightie doesn't evoke sexy to me.
Nighty is like a long...
That's the most John Legend answer of all time though.
Of course he would say it's Teddy.
An answer that's basically crooned, even if it's said, is Teddy.
You can see, by the way, if you, again, grind the all 22, you can see Michelle Wee after
she gets the answer right, look back at us being like, are we gonna pass?
Oh, that's funny.
And then of course the choice is taken from our hand because John Legend gets it right with Teddy.
But again, Katie, it's seven answers.
Yep.
And of course they don't get all seven
because getting all seven is statistically almost impossible,
it turns out.
We got two strikes.
We got to be careful.
Chain team can steal.
Sheer or see-through clothing.
Sheer or see-through clothing.
Good answer, Lada.
Thank you, thank you.
Oh!
Whoo!
All right, here we go.
Name something sexy you'd never want to see your mother wearing.
Uh, birthday suits.
Nothing.
Her birthday suit!
Hey!
Bikini, bra, miniskirt, sexy maid costume.
What?
Stripper heels.
Cheerleader outfit.
Sexy maid, but not a schoolgirl.
You could see your mom in a schoolgirl.
Halloween slut outfit.
Don't be the maid.
Hurry. We're down 141 points to zero.
Crazy.
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.
That's really funny.
You can come back. It's possible to win the game.
You got the Jim Volvano speech during Family Feud
because you were down 141 to nothing?
Don't ever give up?
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,
than our dear friend Mina comes. Welcome back, Celebrity Family Feud. The Legend team got 141.
The Chain team not on the board. Give me Gene, give me Mina.
At this point you feel like you're embarrassing your Asian brethren, right?
No handshake? Wow.
Comeback starts here. Comeback starts here. Brethren, right? You feel like... No handshake? Wow. Wow.
Cold.
Comeback starts here.
Comeback starts here.
Yeah.
He's so focused.
Top seven answers on the board.
Again.
Crazy.
What kitchen gadget would you compare your lovemaking to?
A wooden spatula.
What?
All right now.
What?
All right now.
I...
A wooden spatula. And she goes, I don't feel like it. Wow. All right now. What? All right now.
I...
A wooden spatula.
Get a splinter in it.
A wooden spatula.
I don't believe it.
Underrated line, Joe.
Get a splinter.
Nothing.
Oven.
Hey! What are they going to do?
We're going to play.
Mina, unilaterally was like, we're not getting skunked like this.
We're receiving.
We need to play.
Yeah.
We're playing.
The right call.
The stage manager also, by the way.
Absolutely the right call.
You didn't come out here to lay up.
Exactly.
If the game wasn't going the way it was going,
it would be nuts to pass with zero points on the board.
We finally got it.
No thanks.
You guys take this one.
Wait a minute.
That was the third sixer season that they tanked in.
It was like, guys, really?
Come on.
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 got to 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.
That is tough.
Billions. It's a tough scene.
I could feel the billions upon billions of people
on the planet pressuring me as this happened.
Come on, here we go.
Come on Pablo, let's go baby.
What kitchen gadget would you compare your lovemaking to?
Steve, I'm gonna compare it to a blender
Big we should have known right after that that Pablo was destined for great things on this show
That Pablo in the bedroom is putting it on ya! Great answer. Did Steve Harvey just say that Pablo in the bedroom
is puttin' it on ya?
Cause it's not a way I've ever looked at Pablo before.
Or Blenders.
That is a LinkedIn endorsement now on my profile.
Steve Harvey. Steve Harvey said
he's puttin' it on ya.
He puts it on ya.
Amazing.
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.
Yeah, true.
Chris, what kitchen gadget would you compare your lovemaking to?
My lovemaking is most similar to a potato masher.
My.
Specific.
Good answer.
See, again, two inside baseball.
Yes. My lovemaking is, again, two inside baseball.
Yes.
Love making is comparable to a potato mansion.
I do love the way he makes that.
David, what kitchen gadget would you
compare your love making to?
You got to get this one, dude.
Come on.
Yeah.
It's quick like a microwave oven.
A microwave oven because it's quick. Like a microwave oven. On brand, too, come on. It's quick like a microwave oven. A microwave oven because it's quick.
Like a microwave oven.
On grand, too.
D plus 30.
Microwave.
Oh.
The idea that Michelle Wee would be suffering this indignity,
and I know her to be less competitive on that panel
than Mina Kimes, right now like lava is spewing from her ears because she's
embarrassing herself nationally and internationally. She was mad. 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.
She was like, you better get this right.
You gotta get this, dude.
This is yours.
Motherf**ker.
Also the tone of it was like, we gotta get this.
Like you better.
Increasingly aggro.
Yeah.
She was the audience yelling at him at home from right next to him that was supposed to
be the supportive teammate.
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 that we just taped,
explaining what was going through her mind
as all of us were getting zero answers correct.
When the questions and the answers started coming in and we saw how dumb, they're dumb.
That'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.
I'm gonna hate it, it's for idiots, so quickly. And I feel like we all did.
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 Wee necessarily
approached it in the same way.
Michelle, we got two strikes the legend team can steal. Air fryer. And air fryer. It don't really fry, it just make you think it's fries. Air fryer. And so, of course, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. They smell blood.
Chrissy Dolly, what kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?
I'm gonna go with slow cooker.
Slow cooker.
John Legend. Yeah. Slow cooker.
John Legend.
Literally crooning. Did he unbutton another button during that answer?
Yes, I think he did.
Crazy.
That's four hours.
He unbuttoned my button somehow.
The lowest you can cook something on slow cookers,
four hours, that's insane.
I'd be tapping way out.
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 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 I'm a model and he's a crooner and we bang quite a bit
for quite a long time. Everything you guys think is all true. The flavor is being stewed into the meat.
Oh god. Slowly throughout the day. And you thought Pablo put it on ya?
Oh!
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. Nuts.
Baster. Whisk slash beater.
Also, the fact that fork
isn't on there is crazy
It sounds like nobody said for I just so it was very frustrating. You had very frustrating questions
I like that Katie is the election denier on the show
Luckily though what we stole was 98 points nice we're on the board
We got no answers that actually deserve 98 points, but we was 98 points. Nice. 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.
Give me Mike.
Give me Pablo.
Come on, Mike.
Come on, Mike.
Come on, Mike.
Come on, Mike.
Come on, Mike.
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?
Car.
A car.
What is stopping you from buying a car when you have a wife?
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.
Yes.
I'm not going back to university to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber One for students. It saves you on Uber and Uber Eats. I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers,
up to 5% off smoothies and 5% Uber cash back on rides. Just to be clear,
I'm there for savings, not whatever you think university is for. Get Uber One for students,
a membership to save on Uber and Uber Eats. With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student.
Join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary. Eligibility and member terms apply.
and member terms apply.
So, 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 got some news for you. Here's the deal. This is how
bad this game has been going. If it's there or not, we're going to play sudden death.
Because we don't have enough points to reach 300.
We did it!
We did it!
So, the pressure's all off, but let's just see anyway.
We asked 100 married men if you woke up a single man tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd buy?
Motorcycles, Steve.
Good answer.
A motorcycle!
Oh, my God.
Oh, not good enough.
These answers that you guys are giving
are just clearly too good.
This was Mina's thought, which you can hear her think,
as we hear what the answers turned out to be.
This is so stupid. This is so stupid.
Oh no.
Mina is at that moment reading her own mentions from the future.
Oh my god, she so is. She's doing the mental math of how this is going to go for her.
And by the way, like, so Gojo I think could get this sense from being around us pregame.
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.
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.
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,
we won't even need Chris at the end.
I'll have two cop salads.
Yeah, so that's why I was like,
Chris is going to be great.
Just don't put him in a high pressure situation.
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.
Right.
Unless.
Unless.
Unless you suck so bad.
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.
Well, nobody reached 300 points, so we're gonna play sudden death.
He has to say that part.
Give me a line up. Give me Chris.
I've never seen that before.
In his most excited game show host voice, the most disappointed he's ever been.
It's definitely never happened in Celebrity. I've seen it in real, but I've never seen it in slummy. Oh my God. In his most excited game show host voice, the most disappointed he's ever been.
It's, I've seen it in real, but I've never seen it in film.
Oh my God.
For this survey, we are asking for the top answer only. Whoever gets this one answer
will win the game. Good luck to both of you. Here we the most insultingly easy category in the history of
game shows.
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.
Choker.
Green.
Green.
Green.
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Look at him, look at him.
Chris Yang 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.
I have two observations here.
Two observations.
One is that that got only 82 out of 100 people on green,
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.
They were just trying to help toddlers win the game
that they're bad at.
What noise does a doggy make?
They're like, the runtime of this show does not accommodate an extra round.
So let's make sure we get this one.
We won the game 98 to 285.
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 your charity,
this is for charity, let's also remember that, I guess,
that's important, they win all the money
if you can crack 200 points.
That question, by the way, was also charity, to be clear.
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.
Gojo, explain what you saw.
Originally, you guys had selected you and Mina
to represent the team up there.
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.
No!
Yes, Dan, there is a take of this
where me and Mina are standing on either side
of Steve Harvey about to do Fast Money.
I would love to see her face.
I wanna see that.
Pablo, you gotta get that.
You gotta call the feud and you gotta get them
to give you the audio that hasn't been released.
You have to.
It gets better because me and Mina are locked in, obviously.
Chang didn't want to do it.
Right.
That's why Mina and I were there.
Yeah.
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.
You guys should have argued back.
We're all so famous, okay? Have you ever watched, yeah, afternoon sports television. The captain of the team needs to do this. You coward. You guys should have argued back.
We're all so famous.
Okay?
Have you ever watched, yeah, afternoon sports television at a sports bar with an un-
We're very famous to a very niche group.
That's right.
This was the third take, by the way.
So at one point, Steve Harvey says, David, good to see you.
Because Chang was so discombobulated.
Yes.
When he wa- you You remember this Gojo.
He walks out and he keeps on walking off stage.
What?
He doesn't stop.
Why?
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.
Why?
Because he didn't know what was happening.
And doesn't want to do it. Like clearly doesn't. He's being 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.
Oh no.
So after the successful take three, I get sent backstage so I go second.
So immediately we're like I should probably go last.
So there's not so much pressure on him. He doesn't pass out like a goat.
Trying to help Chang. They sent me backstage and I have big headphones on.
Yeah, because they ask the same five questions.
Exactly.
And you cannot give the same answer as each other.
And so I've never, 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.
Huh.
Gin Blossoms?
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.
Huh.
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 as he...
I was just going to close my eyes.
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.
And now it's time to play.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
20 seconds on the clock, please.
We asked 100 men, you're naked in the woods.
Someone walks by. What do you cover yourself with?
Branches.
On a scale of 1 to 10,
how nice are your neighbors?
2.
Name the greatest breakfast
food ever created.
Burrito.
Name someone you should never
call when you're drunk.
Police.
Name a coin you throw into
a fountain to make a wish.
Porter. BELL RINGS All right, let's go. Uh, police. Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish. Quarter.
BELL RINGS
CHEERING
Alright, let's go. We asked 100 men.
You're naked in the woods.
Someone walks by. What do you cover yourself with?
You said...
Some branches. Survey said...
BELL RINGS
On a scale of 1 to 10, how nice are your neighbors?
You said 2.
Survey said...
Name the greatest breakfast food ever created.
You said the burrito.
Survey said...
Yeah.
Name someone you should never call when you're drunk. Survey said... Oh! Yeah.
Name someone you should never call when you're drunk.
You said...
Oh, yeah, the police.
Hello, it's me.
Survey said...
Uh...
It's...
Hello.
Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish.
You said... Quarter. So funny. Hello. For the name of coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish, you said quarter.
Survey said.
Just hello, it's me.
So funny.
It's being roasted by Steve.
It was a good answer to don't call the cops
and say you're hammered.
I thought it was a better answer than eight.
Gojo, what was the mood in the room?
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 were 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.
I walked out, okay?
Headphones off, hey, jealousy is over.
I walk out, I immediately notice a almost like
depressive Mina times.
Yeah, she was stone faced.
And the mood in the room is a mixture of things that is confusing to me and only making me
more and more terrified.
Like a dog. Like a puppy they put in a room and he's like, what?
Right.
There's a lot of sensory overload.
I may have started peeing down my leg.
OK.
["The Last Supper"]
Well, Pablo.
Yeah, Steve?
It's going to take a massive effort.
OK.
He didn't do bad.
OK.
OK. He got 54.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's all right.
Yeah.
partner.
You got to do Pablo.
I believe in you Pablo.
Now listen to me.
Listen to me.
That's right.
You got all the number ones left.
On regular family feud, I've seen people make this comeback. 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! Gonna be a little bit tougher.
We're gonna give you 25 seconds.
How high were you actually?
I was, I was residually stoned.
It was inually stoned.
It was in my bloodstream.
It was clearly meant to say something else, but the way he said that in your face just went...
It was one of those things where I'm like, does Steve Harvey know?
Does he know?
What's up?
Pretty high right now.
Does Steve Harvey expect me to not look into the camera and break the fourth wall and acknowledge what was just said?
You seemed not that nervous to me there.
You were very like, okay, that's doable.
The little point.
That confidence.
Honestly, when Steve said that,
it kind of broke me out of a spell a bit.
And I was like, oh, okay, wait a minute.
As the drugs wearing off.
Opportunity has arrived.
I will say, I from there mostly blackout.
I'm ready, Steve.
All right, let's remind everybody of David's answers.
25 seconds on the clock, please.
Let's go, man.
All right.
We asked 100 men.
You're naked in the woods.
Someone walks by.
What do you cover yourself with?
A leaf.
On a scale of one to ten, how nice are your neighbors?
Four.
Name the greatest breakfast food ever created.
Baking.
Name someone you should never call when you're drunk.
Your mom.
Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish.
A penny.
We got a shot
So fast so fast you would that was will ferro in old school. Yeah, I truly like lost consciousness
pure instinct
Yes, 100 me you're naked in the woods someone walks by what do you cover yourself with you said a
leaf survey said?
Right there we knew we had a shot 50 out the gate. Yeah
It's a big leaf he says
Points on a scale of one to ten how nice are your neighbors you said? about a 4 survey said
The number one answer was 10
For real name the greatest breakfast food ever created you said
Bacon survey said number one answer 23
what would Homer Simpson do? what would Homer Simpson do? we need 71 number one
answer 23 is very wrong you should never call when you're drunk you said don't ever call your mom survey
said
the number one answer come on your ex thank you John Legend
We need 37,000. I love that so much.
Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish.
You said, the penny.
Yes.
Man of the people.
Survey said.
Oh my god.
Why?
Yes!
It's so exciting.
It's still electric.
My god.
Pablo's little like, what was that?
That was a sea walk.
Tell me what happened.
That was a pre-Kendrick Lamar sea walk.
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 meet the adoring masses out there. I am the greatest thing you have ever been. Come to me, Steve Harvey and the Feud, and meet the adoring masses out there.
I am the greatest thing you have ever seen.
Who was it that compared you to Peter Weber?
Who do you think you are?
I am?
Yes.
I did not remember reacting like that, obviously.
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.
But what was cut down, Gojo, you were there.
In my mind, we celebrated for like 30 minutes.
Weren't you on the ground for a little while?
So I collapsed onto the ground and started doing like
the Homer Simpson spinning around on his back thing.
Why?
Because I was just feeling all of the feelings I had never allowed myself to feel before.
Crazy feeling to feel on a television set.
My feeling was, I think this is what Tom Brady must feel like.
And that's what he's always doing, spinning around on his back.
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 being on the floor,
like comatose, all of that got cut.
Wow, I wonder why.
Yeah, I feel like it wasn't budgeted in the time allotted.
Can we get it though?
Can we ask the feud people to get that for us?
We need the MENA footage,
and then we also need you spinning on the ground
like a potato bug.
The PTFO investigation is forthcoming.
Yes, please find out.
After the question about being nude in the woods,
you said a leaf, and then you went to a big leaf.
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?
I think I was going towards banana leaf, but I was going to like, you know, make it even
more obviously a penis.
I think we got it.
I think you said leaf.
I think everybody went, and so it's a good thing that you clarified.
It was the number one answer to be fair.
A banana leaf is enormous, by the way.
We're going to put up a photo of a banana leaf.
Definitely do that.
Definitely do that.
I mean, it's just one of the biggest leaves.
Sure.
Yeah, definitely Google Pablo's banana leaf.
Yeah, I was like, billions of Asian people want me to yell banana leaf just to clarify.
See, I would have said a bush and that would have gotten me in my own type of trouble.
You know?
You did it, Pablo!
Yes! Yes! You did it, Pablo! Yes!
You did it!
Yes!

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 it was like.
It made me think of great game show contestants,
like Katie Nolan, of course.
Yes, of course.
The trilogy we chronicled on PTFO at length in this way.
Here we go, here we go.
And also, and also Mike Oleg Jr.
And also Dan Leventar.
Have you seen this?
Oh, yes.
Have you seen this, Coach O?
Yes, I have, and I love this.
No.
We have with us here on our very stage here in Orlando, the Hurricanes of Miami and Florida.
Auto racing now for both schools.
Amazing.
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 auto manufacturer.
Miami.
Ford.
Henry Ford, that is correct.
Let's meet the players.
I'm Dan Levitard.
I'm a 19 year old sophomore majoring in news
and editorial journalism and politics.
I'm from Miramar, Florida.
All right, Hurricanes, glad to have you.
In the 1972 Summer Olympic Games took place in what city?
Oklahoma, camp.
Munich.
Munich is right.
Which Boston Red Sox pitcher threw the most shutouts
in 1987?
Miami, Todd.
Roger Stone.
Roger Stone.
Oklahoma.
All right, that wraps up our 102nd round,
and Oklahoma is the champion.
This Dan's two-handed buzzer technique.
I was just going to 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?
I was leaking confidence throughout that. 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.
Because it was the only thing I got right
the entire time I was on there was the single word Ford.
19 is crazy.
I would have said 23.
Nineteen.
When was this?
You're a fully grown man.
Where was this?
I'm going to go ahead and guess that this was 1987.
The late nineteen hundreds.
Oh God.
Yes.
This was in Orlando.
It was Boardwalk and baseball somewhere near Disney World.
And I will say that that leisure suit was the only suit that I owned.
And it, too, was about 19 years old.
I loved how mean a times 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.
I was too slow.
That's what kept happening to me.
It's why I tell you, I'm not joking
when I say it was legitimately thrilling
to have you guys conquer those game shows.
Katie, the Brain game show,
and Pablo with just an amazing comeback.
The Relatability game show. Me. Me.
This is 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. Thanks, buddy.
What is the main color in camouflage?
Isn't that?
No.
Pablo went all the way from being dissed for going to Harvard
to answering with the penny.
Yes.
I went all the way from being dissed to putting it on you.
Oh, God.
I wish I didn't make eye contact with you when you did that.
He said dissed.
He said dissed.
No.
With a D.
No! Stop saying more things.
This has been Pablo Torre Finds Out, a Meadowlark Media production.
And I'll talk to you next time.
