Pablo Torre

Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out.

I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is.

I just want to point out, for people who aren't watching on YouTube, though, that is a fake background, Bob Vulgaris.

It is, yeah.

You're in an undisclosed geographic location.

What do you got?

What do you got behind you?

Oh, you're just embarrassed.

You're embarrassed to show me what your actual residence is like, those books.

The books behind you, you haven't read those books.

Those are just fake books.

That's right.

I was hoping you would have, you know, like betting slips framed.

You ever save those?

So I should just quickly explain here that the reason I am on this call right now is because of the episode we published last week about NBA betting and these poker games that allegedly involve the Italian mafia and also NBA players and coaches, and more recently, the FBI.

Because while I've been thinking about this scandal and the federal government's concurrent pair of indictments, there is one person in specific I've been meaning to talk to about it.

Someone I don't agree with on lots of issues, but someone whose secrets, whose perspective I always seek when it comes to these exact subjects.

And so I asked this person to introduce himself on camera.

That's pretty good.

Also wildly insufficient.
