Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is.
Dan Le Batard 0:06
Did we sound extra woke in whimpering about a need for community? This is not an echo chamber.

With the Galaxy Watch 7 or the Galaxy Ring and the Samsung Health app.
Pablo Torre 1:01
Dan has stories of great road rage that he has felt himself personally that have maybe humiliated him in front of loved ones.

Why is community important in today's society?

Dan Le Batard 1:10
Recently, my wife, and when I say recently, I'm going to say a year ago, my wife had to sort of hold or try to hold unsuccessfully me, my seatbelt and my chest back because the After shooting me a bird, somebody also started talking to me. And this is not safe for me to do. It's not wise. It's not smart. But the last words I heard set me off. And the way rage works is you don't do smart things or do much thinking. And what did you do?
Pablo Torre 1:44
i leap from the car and scare my wife and it's dumb because people here are armed you tried to get out of the that was an actual i did get i did get out of the car i did get out of the car yes no i got out of the car if you're out there if you're out there send it in send it in to our show we want the tape of this that's that is actually uh i'm glad i'm so glad valerie was there jesus man Well, it went okay.
Dan Le Batard 2:13
I'm still here and I've learned my lesson and the person scampered off because I was enraged.
Pablo Torre 2:21
You were a charging wildebeest and you effectively intimidated them.
Dan Le Batard 2:25
That's right. That's right. That's what happened. Well, I was enraged. I was legitimately enraged.
Mina Kimes 2:32
So my theory is it's one of the very few spaces right now in public life where the customer doesn't have recourse, where if you're mad, you can't log on and leave an angry review. You can't find someone's social media and spit vitriol at them. It's literally... Only IRL, right? There's so few places like this now in our lives where there's no way for someone to express their anger virtually. So if you're in a car and something happens and maybe a guy cuts you off or somebody doesn't go at a green light, I suspect there's like increased anger because of the sense of impotence you feel relative to other situations.
Pablo Torre 3:20
What Mina is saying, which is a through line, I think that'll follow us through today's episode, is that she would like every driver in America to post their username on their window so she can get in their mentions and dunk on them.
Mina Kimes 3:33
I don't have road rage. I'm trying to explain what I think is happening. It's just a theory. I don't know. What do you think, Dan?
Dan Le Batard 3:42
I'm surprised that you guys are surprised, though, that I am capable of a rage that would not be able to be held back by my wife's delicate and model-esque hand. I'm surprised that you guys didn't think that you guys thought I was just going to like fake my anger that I wanted to be seen by my wife this way and that she would be able to successfully hold me back with just her hand.
Pablo Torre 4:04
My thing with you is that so much of our interactions on this show and yours are just us making fun of you. So the idea of there actually being a straw that breaks the hippos back, I'm like, what was it? And it turns out you don't even know.
Dan Le Batard 4:20
You didn't even know. Well, is it a hippo or is it wildebeest? Because what I'm about to do, if you were here, I'm feeling helpless because right now I want to physically attack you.
Mina Kimes 4:30
Hippos are like the most aggressive animals quietly amongst, nobody talks about this because they're like, oh, hungry, hungry hippos. They're so cute. They're so fun. They look so funny. Those, you do not want to encounter a wild hippo.
Pablo Torre 4:43
They are hungry, hungry for blood.
Dan Le Batard 4:46
They will kill you. And I would, at this point, like to beat Pablo while swinging Nina by her ankles. Just...
Pablo Torre 5:13
Meena, do you want to begin the actual show with the topic that you brought us that you wanted to share and tell about?
Mina Kimes 5:19
Yeah. My topic is the rise of blue sky. There's an article in the New York Times about it. There's been articles all over the place about this app, Blue Sky, which was created, I think, a few years ago, right, as an alternative to Twitter around the time that Elon Musk took over Twitter. but didn't really catch fire until this past week around the election.
