Pablo Torre Finds Out · From "Reveal": Bad Bunny, Billionaires and the Business of Sports · 4 Feb 2026 podcast

Yeah.

I remember when I was much younger, one of my first major jobs was I was salesman slash service provider for a knife sharpening business.

Random as hell.

But we used to sharpen carbide saw blades.

And in Northeast Florida, I would go out there, meet these guys, and they didn't really like me because I'm a young black kid from...

you know, the big city coming to their place.

And I found that the only way that I could communicate with them was getting to know sports.

And I wasn't really that into sports at that point in my life, like in my early twenties, but I began to like study sports.

So when I go there, I could have something to talk about with them and ultimately like service their blades, sell them new blades and all of that stuff.

And it worked.

Like I got really good at sports because I needed to make a paycheck and

And I think what you just said, like, it triggered that memory to me is that the bridge to talking to somebody who was so different than I was was sports.

Yeah, I wish our viewers could see you because you're just, you're a stressful specimen.

I mean, I guess it's, I'm going to keep it nice because I just, I don't know what I'm going to do.

The interesting thing about sports is that like it definitely is a bridge to other people, but also sports are inherently political.

And it feels today where we are is it's even more political or at least the magnifying glasses on it in a way that like I mean, everything in America now is is has been politicized.

So it feels like there's a magnifying glass on it in a way that, you know, I'm sure before me it was political as well.

I mean, I've seen the pictures of I think it was the 68 Olympics.

Mexico City.

Exactly.
