Chapter 1: What are the dynamics of Maury Povich and Connie Chung's relationship?
Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is.
Why are you being so nice? You haven't been nice all week. Well, neither have you.
Right after this ad. Is it possible that Connie gets here late but then leaves later? Absolutely. So I do want to clarify for the audience what's happening here is that we're going to get one period of just you Maury Povich talking shit about Connie Chung.
No problem.
And then at some point, you're going to get out of here. Right. Because I have my podcast to do.
I know. On par with Maury Povich. Because you're a media magnate. I mean, I'm going to do the same thing you do when you substitute on PTI, you know? I got the sign right here. On par with Maury Poach on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, all of your social media platforms.
How dare you? How dare you throw shade at my unrepentant promotion of this show on every possible platform? Wow.
In fact, I was shocked the other day. When Will Bond wasn't there, and so you're always Tony's partner. That's right. And then you didn't show up.
I was not there.

Chapter 2: How do Maury and Connie balance their careers and personal lives?
But this thing, by the way, this thing, you have to help me explain to the audience how long I've been trying to put this summit together. Starting in the spring, maybe. Last year. Yeah. I mean, literally the first time you came on the show, I was like, what if we get... Wait a second. We've never appeared together on your show? No, no, no. You, me, and your better half. Yeah.
The three of us have not done this. No. And you came on the show.
Connie's been on your show. I've been on your show. It's the fact that you would want us together. Very brave. Wow. I've been warned against it. It's not. I mean, she's going to show up here and I will be clueless as to what's going to come out of her mouth. And quite frankly, I mean, I'll tell you, I'll even tell her when she, we are in the we don't like each other stage right now.
So far that checks out based on? Something's going on. I don't know. Maybe it's in the water. But, you know, we've been married for over 40 years. We love each other to death. But quite frankly, there are times we do not like each other. And I think this is one of those times. This podcast is one of those times. And when she comes on, you'll understand it.
She pays me much, just grief, a lot of grief.
I feel like that general observation is most substantiated by the fact that this chair is empty right now.
I know. I mean, I'm looking at the empty chair, and quite frankly, it looks good. I'll tell her when she comes in that we've been discussing how we don't like each other these days.
And I'm going to immediately turn on you and take her side as you're aware of the dynamic that's going to happen here.
I mean, yeah.

Chapter 3: What insights do they share about the challenges of being in the media industry?
Because y'all beat the draws off us. Oh, my God.
Oh, my Lord. Look at that. Congratulations, Pablo.
They got to sign the draw.
I would say that the two of us together made history. Yes, we did. We made podcast history. Yeah.
But he was a gracious loser.
A gracious loser. And I would beat him again. I would happily go back and defend our title.
You know, I knew about Nick a little bit. He's some entrepreneur.
You're talking about him just in terms of like his sperm or you're talking about in terms of his actual business?
That too, but I mean, all of his business ventures.

Chapter 4: How does Maury feel about his legacy in television?
Let's hear it!
When it comes to four-month-old Donye, Andrew, you are not the father. Guess what? Shaquille O'Neal and his buddies watch my show all the time, bet lots of money with each other to find out whether they were the father or not. He was a great lover of the show, and he and his buddies would all watch and bet.
Maury, you could have been leaking inside information to one of Shaq's entourage members and just totally cleaned him out.
You know, it's very interesting about the show. I've talked to many, many... Professional athletes, even football players.
Hold on. Your wife's calling you. Oh, boy.
Okay, I'm starting the show without you. You're three minutes away.
Send somebody to the lobby.
Okay, we'll do that.
Right.

Chapter 5: What humorous anecdotes do they share about their time in the spotlight?
I said, this is what I've been told. And Warren said, absolutely. We wouldn't go out there until we found out who the father was.
So you're responsible. You yourself, your show has been responsible for the underperformance of various athletes throughout time. You are a one-man gambling scandal. Yeah, right.
Oh, boy. Nice to see you. Good to see you. Hi, Pablo. Wow. Hello. I'm excited I got a kiss. Hi, Pablo. How are you? Thank you for being here.
It's cold outside.
I know, honey. I don't need it right now.
I know. I know.
Okay. Why are you being so nice? You haven't been nice all week. Well, neither have you.
Hi, Pablo. I'm here to take your side in all arguments.
Okay.

Chapter 6: How do they view the current state of journalism?
This mark here. Oh, sorry.
That's okay.
There's always a mark, Connie. Come on.
Yeah.
Let us explain to you how television works, the two of you. It's a medium in which people need to cover edits when one of you curses horrifically. No, we'll leave it all in. We're going to leave it all in.
Is the not like period over?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Not on this end.
Oh, geez. Oh, thank you.

Chapter 7: What are their thoughts on the impact of technology on media?
And then I said, I see a little bit of ethnicity there.
I did a genetic test. Oh, you did?
Yeah. And what happened? What'd you find out? I'm like 11% Chinese. Now she's ready to move in.
I mean, 11% better. It's even better.
So there's some little, there's like trace amounts of Spanish.
But, you know, but the Philippines suffered the way China suffered at the hands of the Japanese. So, you know.
Accurate. Very, very true. I didn't bring you guys here to talk about geopolitical history, though.
But did you know that Maury is such a history buff and political expert? Seriously. Stop it. He's very, very into all things political and historical.
I'll tell you what I'm reading now. I'm reading this book by Andrew Ross Sorkin called 1929. Yeah. And I'm reading it because is it going to happen again? And, you know, is this bubble, whatever, whatever, everybody, everybody. You know, Bernard Baruch used to say, when the elevator operator is telling you what stock to buy, watch out.

Chapter 8: What future plans do Maury and Connie have for their careers?
And you remember why Maury decided that he just couldn't continue in sports.
I started out in TV as the 10 o'clock news sportscaster in Washington on Channel 5, where my hometown. And I used to cover the then Washington Redskins, and George Allen was the coach. He was kind of a... He was kind of a Belichick before Belichick kind of a guy. Mm-hmm. You know, never liked reporters and everything. Got yoga very late in life. Right. So...
One day I'm in the locker room and I see, and this is the 70s, okay? And so in the 70s, there are a lot of stories about drugs that players were using, these illicit drugs in order to pump up and other stuff, have cocaine outside the game and all that. And so there's this bottle of pills and it could have been salt pills. I mean, I didn't know. I mean, who knows?
So I said, coach, can you tell me what's in that bottle? And he says, Mari, this is 1973. He says, Mari, are you with us or against us? And I said to myself, I got to get out of sports. I just got to. How did my father do it for 75 years? I got to get out of sports. If you have to have a loyalty test, I'm in big trouble. And that's when I went to news.
I dare say that a lot of people have decided to be with sports
them yes yes i asked jeff perlman okay who i had on my show another great sports writer and stuff sports illustrated yes and writes great books yes so i said to jeff i said does this still happen he said absolutely oh yeah i would say more than ever and by the way you see that of course in in news actually
By the way, what's it like to watch CBS right now?
We don't. I mean, I can't. The paradigm has completely changed in news, and we have so much opinion that the truth doesn't hold value anymore. And what we end up doing is trying to, we as consumers, trying to find the truth. We can't find good old-fashioned facts. And it distresses me so terribly. CBS is a whole different organization that I had worked for.
CBS has now been taken over thanks to greedy owners, Sherry Redstone, partnering with David Ellison, Larry Ellison's son. And their greed has caused the venerable CBS to actually disassemble, to crash into crumbles. And then they've hired this, I don't know what to call Barry Weiss. I don't either. You know, I just don't know. Yeah, but she's... You know, we'll see.
