Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out, presented by eBay Live. I am Pablo Torre, and today you're going to find out what this sound is.
That's the part we're going to aggregate from this episode.
Right after this ad.
I am here today to introduce Pablo Torre and his special guest, Roy Wood Jr. Now, Pablo Torre, finds out, is a sports show that I think sports lovers would love, but even I, who I don't really consider myself a huge sports lover, I love the Liberty, I love the Olympics, but... Pablo covers things in such a way that even people who think they don't love sports will be so engaged.
So recent episodes include one with Sir Mix-a-Lot sharing his hot take on sports and butts. And I also really loved a recent episode where Pablo... dug deep into Donald Trump's takeover of public historic golf courses in Washington, D.C.
Just fascinating looking at things from a social perspective, looking at things from a historical perspective, not just from a defense, offense perspective with his work. So he's just great, a great conversationalist. We're so excited to have him here today. Again, this is Pablo Torre, but also...
with a special guest, Roy Wood Jr., who I know everybody in this room knows and loves from The Daily Show, and have I got news for you. Please welcome Pablo and Roy to the stage.
Hello, hello, hello. Hello, Brooklyn. Good to see you, Pablo.
Roy, I have questions for you.

Chapter 2: How does Roy Wood Jr. handle burnout in the podcasting world?
He's on like a chase lounge. Roy's on an equivalent fainting couch of sorts. And there is a Cavasier or something. It's cognac and it's real. That's not unsweetened tea. Undoubtedly sponsored.
Yeah, we're drinking. And we get into a run talking about... my ancestry and my lineage and all of this stuff. And part of me is talking about the fact that when I did, I did Finding Your Roots and during the episode, they found the descendants of the people who owned my family members. And so I'm joking in the clip about finding the house where these people now live.
The descendants of the old slave masters, great, great, great grands, and just pulling up to their house and asking for reparations. And then I joked, and then I said, I zillowed their house. They don't have any money. And I said something along the lines about, yeah, I might just pull up on their house and see what's up. And there's a whole part, there's a whole preamble to that snippet.
that sets up that I'm joking and that this is, I'm not really out to murder the descendants of slave masters. But when you clip that bitch just right, It looks like I'm out to murder the descendants of slave masters. So that clip goes flames online.
And there's a couple of clips from the interview that all do their respective arguing and bickering about fatherhood and just three hours and drinking. You're going to talk about everything. But that clip. gets put out into the right wingosphere as Roy... It breaks contain, yes. Yes. Roy hates white people. He wants to kill white people. What about the blacks that enslave?
You need to talk about that. I wish you would run up in my house email box just... DMs. Just a barrage of it. And I'm like, what am I doing?
Like, you go back, and I go back and look at the Shay Shay interview, and it's like, we're having these conversations, and of course, anything we say now is going to be clipped and distilled down into something that's bite-sized and profitable for whomever you're sitting with. And, you know, my buddy, my little brother's in the comments.
First off, I have two younger brothers that are psychopaths on the Internet. How old are they? 37. Too old to be psychopaths. And they are going to war with people in the comments who are bashing me.
The family members who want to defend the honor of their loved one is one of my most... I get it, but... It's tragic when my mom wants to go to war for me.

Chapter 3: What insights does Roy provide about the current state of media?
The classic case study of, man, I want to call them corner cutters and lazy because they're not doing it in the way that I did it. Journalism and rigor and production value.
You didn't suffer how I suffered, so your accomplishments are not legitimate.
For real. And the thing that I've made peace with as I watch the increasingly dead eyes of these streamers is that the issue is the opposite. They have such work ethic. And the work ethic is what I see in you. It's what I pride. I take pride in myself and in our staff at the show.
And I wonder, you know, I don't want to set you up for like a motivational coaching pep talk, but it does feel like those who don't have that work ethic are probably f***ed.
Correct. And that all comes down to whether or not you have that degree of tenacity. I feel like Drewski is kind of an interesting case study as well, where you have a kid who did quick and easy sketches online, same as everybody else. iPhone 8, low light, whatever. And then the next thing you know, he's in a wire harness floating like a Baptist megachurch pastor.
like high tens of thousands of dollar budgeted level sketches and that just came from repetition repetition also not being worried about rejection and there is there is a veneer of perfection that you believe to that you need to always have at all times on the internet and if you don't have the perseverance to push past that like the internet is like getting booed every day
And... How do you... How are your nerve endings on that? I'm indifferent. Like, it doesn't bother me. Like, even, like, in the thick of racial slur, the only thing I don't f*** with is death threats. I take that serious. I elevate that right up to CNN, Warner Brothers, FBI, motherf***ers or whatever. But... like everything else just does it.
It's never really bothered me, but I got lucky because I came up at a time where live tweeting was just beginning to be a thing. And this is 2010 and we did last comic standing and the network contractually made us live tweet the episode under the hashtag every Monday night. I'm on the show for two months straight. I keep advancing every round. So every Monday night,
For two hours straight, I'm under this hashtag, and you're to reply to anything about you. Hey, Roy's funny. Thank you. Make sure you watch next week. But in between all of that is him, and he's not funny, and you look like Kenan Thompson, and you look like a crackhead Kenan Thompson is what they say. I was skinnier back then.
