Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is. That's disgusting!
Katie! What the hell? What is wrong with you? Hell yeah.
Right after this ad.
What's the number one stereotype about you that's true?
That's true. You love karaoke. That is true.
You do love it? Damn. I hate karaoke. Accurate. You do? That's one where I break the stereotype. There's a lot of things. That's one, though, for me. I just keep guessing them.
What is a five-star Taco Bell order?
We just ruin the day by me guessing them. What about this one?
I am obsessed with grades.
Yeah, right. Which is going to come at... This is an interesting game for... I'm unprepared for what this is. I can't handle spice at all.
That's where the stereotype of me is true. I cannot handle it. Wish I could. Hate what it says about me that I can't. Anyway, let's play a game.
This game, I would like to explain what this sound is, though, and why Mina knows a lot more about it than we do.
That's my cue. I guess, because he looked at you. Okay, so I brought a game today.
By the way, thanks for being here. We haven't actually gotten together in our studio in person.
I know. I love.
This is a rare treat.
Remember when we used to do Highly Questionable during... What was it called again during the pandemic? Highly... Quarantined. Highly quarantined. Highly quarantined. Yeah. The three of us used to hang out. We played a lot of games. A lot of games. A lot of, like, Pictionary-based. A lot of drawing-based games. A lot of drawing games, yeah.
Can we just flash and post some of the illustrations that we made?
You, Lenny's Red Rocket. I think I still have that somewhere.
I'm going to auction that for charity.
Pablo drew some of the most disturbing artwork I've ever seen. Yeah. I have a two-year-old.
I think I channeled what America felt like during the pandemic.
We were really going through it, like, on Zoom.
We sketched NFL logos by memory.
Oh, my God. Oh, brutal.
I love it. I love drawing, you know. And we also drew Lenny at one point.
If you put up the photo that Pablo drew of Lenny— Well, you have to censor it. You have to censor it because he— Penis.
I illustrated accurately.
Little dog penis.
Lenny is more than little.
This is why Dominique calls him Linus, by the way. That's great. So this game. So this is a very unusual game for me to enjoy because it's more about friendship than it is about winning. I don't believe that. That's not what I know of you. Okay, so the game is made by my friend Rob Dubbin, who has a company called Brain Fruit, where they make cool and creative things, and it's called Star Friends.
Katie, can you narrate what Mina is showing visually?
Mina has opened a plastic case.
Very simple. Very simple. The size of the deck of cards. And in it, I would say, really bad at guessing numbers, but I would say something around 50 cards.
So there's two kinds of cards. There's star ratings of a variety of star ratings, two stars, three stars. Those cards are white. Right?
They are white with black stars, a varying number.
And then there are cards that have a single word on them. instructions, which are categories. So, like, book, animal, plane.
So this is where I want to make clear to everybody, we're playing a card game. It is a visual game so far, but I don't think it needs to be for the audio-only audience who we do care about.
The game is about takes. And it's about how well you know each other. Oh, Jesus. It's more so than that. And this is kind of what we all do for a living in some ways. It's about how well do we know each other's takes. Oh, Jesus Christ. So, the way it works is very simple. And it's just, you know, it's like a get fun.
Hey. Nina's trying to make this seem calm.
Yeah, how do you win, Nina? I know inside her competitive fire. Well, you're about to understand why I'm doing this long preamble about not being competitive. She's like a dungeon master. The way it works is... We go around and every person takes a turn and it rotates. So I'll put down a card that has the category brand. Then I'll give Katie a card. Okay. And I'll give Pablo a card.
