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.
There's only like three motherfuckers I would have left the house for. Like on some podcast tip, like where I am now right now, you, Bomani Jones, Trevor Noah. I think those are the three. people and sherry tamron hall sherry shepherd tamron hall okay but they don't do podcasts they do like the regular tv show stuff the metal stand is is is getting crowded let's stop you listing people before i get the motive i said yes to too much last year i was gonna say we're here to investigate roy wood jr i don't know if roy realizes that i don't but i saw what happened between you and mark cuban so i figured There would be some sort of poking and prodding. I'm happy to be here, bro. All jokes aside.
Legitimately, not joking. We're going to get into some of the metrics in your life. Okay. You were on, at our last count, at least 96 different podcasts. Is that just last year? That was, yeah, Q4, actually. Trying to figure out the business term. No, seriously, in your research last year, I thought it was like 50 or 60.
It was too many.
Yeah, and so... It was too many. You've become a bit of a snow leopard. You were America's podcast guest. Yeah. And now there's a point in the timeline where you stop showing up.
Yeah.
What, Roy, what happened?
The burnout. Also, having a degree in journalism, and you will appreciate this, it becomes very evident that Oh, also, seven podcasts that still haven't been put out yet that I did last year from a bunch of f***ers who are just sitting on the content for no reason. And when they finally put it out, it's going to be outdated as hell. I'm looking forward to the NFL season. It's like, where's...
We have a champion. What takes do they have from Roy Wood Jr. in the back of the fridge right now? What's sitting back there that you're like, man?
That pisses me off. I will say I did that many podcasts, and it's probably indicative of... Of my inability to tell people no sometimes, which is one of the first things that I had to decide to lock in on and start doing more of going into this year. So that's probably where you saw like a clear cut drop off on pod episodes with my name and I'm probably... end of October, early November. There were a couple of stragglers that were put out then, but I stopped recording, stopped meeting with people. And then I also got blessed. I got booked for, they're doing a TV series of the Barbershop franchise for Amazon. They're doing a sitcom. And so I get cast in a sitcom.
And the character that you are playing, the casting call for that character, how do you describe what the role is?
I'm wearing a beard now. When have any of you ever seen me with a beard?
