Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
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'm not acting, but thank you. I don't think he's acting. It's just a character. He's just a real life character. Right after this ad.
You're listening to DraftKings Networks.
What a delight to have you both here, by the way. You know, thanks for having us. Yeah. You're taking stock of your surroundings, Kevin. Well, I've seen, you know, I'm a big fan. Oh, yeah. Waiting for Nick to chime in with a compliment, but none has come.
I didn't, I don't like to come over the top on someone else's compliment. Yeah. And I also don't like to lie. So, I was in a weird spot, you know, kind of a double way in and out. By the way, evidently my hair is getting screwed up by the headphones. I think it looks great.
Your hair has been looking good.
I appreciate that. All of our hair is looking pretty good. Pablo's got great hair. Wild's has great hair. My hair is fine. I'm in a room with two people objectively with better hair than me. My hair gets graded on a curve because... I used to have a shaved head and people thought that was by force than by choice. So people oddly think this is like fake hair.
But set that aside. We're going to rank everything in the room by the time this episode is over.
Rankings matter. You know what? Can I just say something? These people that think they're too goddamn good to like, oh, for lists and rankings and whatever. That's what life is. I'm not into people that think they're too good for what everyone enjoys.
Rankings are number one, dude. Yeah. I don't even know who's number two. Rankings. Rankings are number one. As far as ways to organize things, number one rankings. Number one rankings, number two, art. And that's the end of the list. Just rankings and art. Yeah. Let's all get claps though. You good? No, that was a good clap. Missed it. Best clap, Nick. Second best clap, me. Worst clap, Wilds.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of rankings in sports discourse?
Certainly quarterbacks who are so situationally coach, wide receiver, offensive line dependent. Sure. What I'm getting, though, is that neither of you are going to play this game.
No, what do you mean?
You're both rejecting the concept of having a take to a tone four.
I've said three, Pablo. You haven't said one of yours.
Ben Simmons. I'm not giving up on Ben Simmons. He gets his back healthy. Ben Simmons unfollowed me on Twitter. Ben Simmons is my answer. You're giving up on Ben Simmons? I think I have to.
I'll believe in Ben Simmons then. I think I have to. My take on Ben Simmons was always, and this is, I'll do a little Nick Wright for you. Nick, if I gave you a flying car, you'd be impressed, right? Sure. If this car was the fastest car in the world, you'd be impressed.
Yeah.
If this car didn't have a stereo, you'd be bummed, but you'd still think, incredible car. Yeah.
That's Ben Simmons. That's such a terrible take. I'll stick with your analogy. If because the lack of brakes exist, you're afraid to drive the car fast, but it can go fast. You're afraid to take it on the freeway, but it can drive above traffic. Then it doesn't matter. It can do all those other things. The other guys in league history who have had a hole in their game, it didn't
