What is the focus of today's 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.
Oh, I want to send it around again. It's so great when St. Francis gets in. Right after this ad.
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
With the Galaxy Watch 7 or the Galaxy Ring and the Samsung Health app.
Are you done shoving food into your mouth? Are you good?
Yes. I somehow, it is just, it's not the word I would use for Mr. Samson's eating style, shoving food in his mouth.
He repackaged his candy into a popcorn bag. Well, I don't like sticking my fingers in the candy bag and then in my mouth and then back in my own candy bag. So I take out of with clean hands candy, put it in a separate container and There were no paper cups here. All that was available was a paper popcorn bag.
Wait, so what are you concerned about with your own fingers going back into a bag? Are we really? Okay. My fingers are just as dirty as your fingers. Well, I certainly do not transfer. It never would occur to me I have a problem.
That's the difference between you and I. It just occurs to me. One of the differences.
Just one of them. And the differences make for an excellent relationship. Excellent.
Ongoing. Not to point this dirty finger at one of us in the room today.
Just don't touch me with it.
Well, John, it's going your direction because we've been getting some viewer mail, and people have noticed that your voice is all over one of the great television shows that's on right now.
Are you watching The White Lotus? I have been pressed into watching The White Lotus. We watched it this weekend. Are you aware? Are you a body double by chance? Well, are you suggesting that I look like that guy, Timothy Ratcliffe, or Ratliff, I think they're using in the... Suggest. Or that I sound like him, or he sounds like me. I love... By the way, I suspect I'm older, so... You are older. So that mofo would sound like me, not vice versa.
Well, just for the record here, Timothy Ratliff is, in fact, the character's name. Jason Isaacs... Jason Isaacs is the actor. And that mofo, in any event, sounds like this.
My grandfather was the governor of North Carolina. My father was a very, very, very successful businessman. Thank God he's dead. It's all about my parents. Thank God they are dead. Thank you. Well, since I don't hear myself speak, which is true, I know it's hard to believe, but I don't actually understand how I sound, so it's hard for me to understand if... That guy sounds like me. Well, you have a draw. Oh, no, no.
I have a draw. But that's specifically a North Carolina. I mean, that's what he's going for.
Oh, it's very specific to very close to where I grew up. I mean, they are from Durham, North Carolina, about 70 miles north of... east of where I grew up. And, of course, I find the most interesting thing about the show is, of course, who's the greatest douchebag in the show? The Duke guy. Yeah. In fact, the two. In fact, the father is a Duke guy. And the... And your older son is a Duke guy. The mother is a Carolina graduate. And by the way, I would judge her accent, Parker Posey's accent, is spectacular. And it really does sound exactly like somebody I know. So every time I hear her speak, she's got it. She's also got that mouth curled downward. She's got that thing about, well, they're not decent, right? They're not decent, so they do a pretty good job with it.
I don't quite understand why they expect the rest of the world to care about the rivalry between North Carolina and Duke, but it's like a little Easter egg for me.
They had a big problem this week. Spoiler alert. No, it's in the news. He got into some trouble. The actor who plays him got into a real-life story where he almost got canceled when he was talking about the size of his penis and he didn't want to answer any questions about it. And whether it was real or not, that's why I asked whether you were a body double, but you didn't get the jokes.
