Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre,
and today we're gonna find out what this sound is. Does Bomber do what Kobe does? Black Mamba. Do we do we have like, you know, Kobe goes from nice guy to this other version of Kobe? Does Bomber, you know, does he become the heel? Right after this.
I have noticed there's a folder in front of you, Paul Shear. I wanted to come Prepared, I want to come correct because. I'm sitting with a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist. All right. And I wanted to make sure I feel like I'm I'm being I've wandered into a trap. You I know, I am nervous. I want to let you know that people out there may think that we have animosity towards each other.
Well, we should establish something about the animosity because the reason I'm here and thank you for having me in your home. Oh my gosh. I thank you for being here. In Los Angeles. Yes. A place that I was not sure I could walk around freely.
You know, it it's a clipper story, not a Laker story.
So But this this informs this informs the dynamic immediately and the animosity. That is the subtext of what hopefully will be uh text here. I hope perhaps in the folder. Uh I was looking into just how to introduce you properly. Okay. And maybe people have seen you on I've done giant the league, you're uh how did this get made? The spectrum of comedy. But the tag actually that I wanna highlight for people who may not know you and only know you perhaps because they've turned on this video and they're thinking another Clippers episode, Pablo. Really? The best one yet, guys. Well, I've I've come around, I've talked to Adam Silver, yeah, I've talked to NBA owners in the aftermath of this, but I haven't talked to you.
And you are known as somebody who practices comedic altruism. You're familiar with this phrase. I
am familiar with this
phrase. All right. You're one of the nicest, kindest people in comedy. This is a thing that our mutual we have mutual friends. We have mutual friends. Like Alan Yang, who helped broker this summit.
100%. Yeah. And it was a very easy broker. I was, it was actually lovely to even know because I would like there's a part of me that's like, I would like to talk to Pablo at one point. And
I would like to talk to Paul at one point. Great. Because Paul was tweeting things such as on August 17th, 2026, at 420 PM, quote, the funniest thing about this ESPN slash Clipper story is that all the people who have been applauding great sports journalism, when faced with great sports journalism by four of the most credible sources in the league, choose not to believe it. Now they are questioning sources. Question mark, exclamation point, GTFO. And I should say that August 17th, 2026 was the eleventh month of you tweeting about. Chicago.
A hundred percent. And I want it to be known to people who may not know. I think at every single point, whenever I would tweet about the Clippers, people would assume that I was On you and I and I made and the the you can look up my receipts. I always like I like Pablo. I like I have no problem. I'm just saying
You are the Clipper fan who has lived in my brain that I've made room for for a year. You have rented space in my head, Paul Shear. You know how much I re- I this is a sad admission that I don't necessarily want to make with this clarity. I do read my mentions. And I am not looking for sympathy. I am merely setting up the context of You have been covering this story as a fan. As a fan. From that point of view. And I really want not to, as much as it seems like I'm doing the opposite, not to shame and ridicule and make fun of you, but to acknowledge that. You and Clipper fans were never the thing I was hoping. to disrupt.
Well, and I really appreciate that. And I want you to know also that, you know, for me, I never added you. Uh People would uh very much respond to me uh and say apologize, Pablo.
And I apologize for for whoever was also, by the way, being a maniacal person, a fan perhaps on my behalf.
But by the way, they should be a fan, uh, but I wanted I did want to draw that distinction. Like my belief in whatever.
