Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre. Today's episode is brought to you by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. And today we're going to find out what this sound is.
I went out deliberately into black areas in this city looking to be sat upon so that I could unleash physical violence.
Right after this ad.
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
When we got to know each other, Steve Glover, you came in with a lot of stories that I didn't know about, about s*** you had done. I'm not here to confront you over whether you had ever driven a car under the influence.
Like, oh my goodness, like the police are waiting outside.
Do you have a power ranking in your mind of like, young Steve?
Irresponsible, man. When I was like, When I first came into college, I got super drunk, like with my friends. Is it Georgia Tech? Yeah. There was like a club next to it that we like went to. By the time I stepped in there, I was just wasted just from like pre-gaming. And they literally threw me out. They were like, this kid is like a liability. My friends were like, they like picked me up like jazz from Fresh Prince. like, threw me out the club. And then my friends brought me back to my dorm, and then, like, my RA, like, saw them put me in there. And he was like, hey, what's going on? And they just, like, ran and left me. It makes you scared for, like, the future and your own kids a little bit, because you're like, oh, man.
You look back, and it's, like, lucky that you kind of made it. Like, somebody said something. The other day about like thinking about the fact that you're here is like all these people behind you like survived, you know? And it's like, that is kind of crazy when you think about it. There was probably somebody down the line, one of my ancestors who had a similar experience. He got like super drunk and almost got kicked by like a horse. He just like barely missed. He's like, whoa, that was close. Like you're just barely making it over and over again.
So the people who have been subscribing to this podcast from the very beginning, remember that my friend Steven Glover, who was a screenwriter and rapper and actor and producer, was our guest on the fifth ever episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out, in which we found out that Steve and his older brother, Donald, invented the concept of memes as children in the 90s and are also currently working on a secret Lando Calrissian Star Wars movie for Disney. which immediately made news when he said it on the show in 2023. But Steve is also the guy who accepted, in 2017, two Writers Guild of America awards for Atlanta, which remains my favorite television show of all time.
I gotta say, after winning the second one, I'm jaded already. This town's not that great. Everybody here thinks they're so hot. My agent took me to Dan Tanner's. Awful. Nah, I gotta thank my agents at WME. Tom, I love you, man. I gotta thank my lawyer, Lev, in the house. Lev Ginsburg. Y'all know him. For taking me to a real restaurant.
Jesus.
I'm taking down a lot of people. I'm sorry.
And so if you've never seen Atlanta, which also won a bunch of Emmys and Golden Globes and also mainstreamed Migos into popular American culture, just know that what we're about to do here is talk about stuff like Donald racing Michael Vick and casting Liam Neeson, and also this insane project from last year that involved both 21 Savage, another very popular rapper from Atlanta, as well as Dan Lebitard, You know, my boss here at MetalArk, which we'll explain. But it is not like Steve has been able to make every project that he's ever pitched in Hollywood.
There's always one we talk about where we wanted to do a trailer for 56 Nights, the future, like, mixtape.
I think 56 Nights is crazy. I think 56 Nights is crazy.
like a movie was coming out, basically, like about the future's life story. Like, just the idea of Like, if you know the 56 Nights kind of story. Well, please, for people who don't know 56 Nights, refresh our memory. So, Future's DJ and friend, DJ Esco, well, I guess they were in, like, Dubai, ends up getting, like, detained by maybe, like, customs or whoever there.
