What does it mean to be cool in sports?
I'm Pablo Torre, and this episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out is brought to you by Remy Martin 1738 Accord Royale. Exceptionally smooth cognac for all your game day festivities. Please drink responsibly, because today we're going to find out what this sound is.
Are any of us cool? Do you think if people did the exercise we're about to do, they would say any of us are actually cool?
Right after this ad.
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
Do you know this one friend who just comes out of bed in the morning and then doesn't come out of his grin? Who is even in front of the first coffee, shamelessly well-groomed and shines around the world with the morning sun? Terrible. Disgusting.
How can you just be so... Restless? Very simple. Train your sleep and become a morning person. With the Galaxy Watch 7 or the Galaxy Ring and the Samsung Health app.
This is a nice Around the Horn off-ramp. I get to hang out with you guys. I'm finding myself missing companionship. Wednesdays is usually when I do Around the Horn. I was thinking about that, actually.
As someone who didn't attend the Around the Horn conference, there have been a lot of tributes, I should say, to a show that we owe a lot to. I don't think I went to an Around the Horn conference call in a decade. So as long as we can skip that part, I am down to refashion what we missed into this. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know when I stopped attending the conference call, but I definitely, Pablo was like the bad example to me. I was like, why am I doing this? Pablo's not doing it. I'm also on West Coast time.
By the way, this is how David realizes, oh, shit, I could have not done the conference call.
The whole time.
Oh, I knew the whole time. But, you know, hey, I was like, you know, being the good steward. Look, as we will get into, I'm just the cool guy. I'm Bart Simpson, you know, just skateboarding, spray painting stuff.
Are any of us cool? Do you think if people did the exercise we're about to do, they would say any— of us are actually cool.
Well, we did last gather to do an entire episode about the X-Men animated series reboot.
It's cool.
Are current athletes trying too hard to be cool?
Which I think is cool. Don't get cooler than that, guys. I think that there are some people out there who think that the three of us are cool. I think there are more people who would laugh at those people.
Have you ever been cool? Was there ever a point in your life where you felt like you were cool?
Hmm.
When did you peak in coolness?
Probably like third grade.
Third grade.
Yeah. Wow. Mina, what are you—you're picking college?
It's definitely college for me, 100%. But a lot of that is because how cool you are is a product of your surroundings, right? And so going to college for me, my cool factor on a relative basis skyrocketed from high school to Yale. David's nodding like he had a similar experience. Absolutely. Davidson? I went to school with a bunch of dorky white kids, a small liberal arts school. I was the coolest guy around. Am I cool now? Yeah. The pendulum swang so drastically from high school to college, I didn't know what to do with myself.
This is also where I need to remind people, Mina, that David Dennis Jr. is a former beer pong partner of his classmate at Davidson, Steph Curry. So he is both observer and participant.
He wasn't cool when I was there either. He wasn't cool until like the last two weeks of my time at Davidson.
But David Dennis Jr. was the original Splash Brother. This is a fact. This is real. This is not an exaggeration. Also, I am now banning officially Nick Wright. I just want to say, you, Nick Wright, you're off the show. We can get into that at a separate time.
Based on cool, you're banning him because he's not cool?
Well, Mina, also because he did this to you today.
Do you have any other media beefs going on right now at present? For the eighth straight year, first things first. was not nominated for Best Studio Show Weekly at the Sports Emmys. When I saw the list of nominations, I don't remember all of them, but one of them was NFL Live, hosted by one of my media rivals, Mina Kimes, and when I saw they won, I was very happy.
