What is the purpose 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.
I'm not acting, but thank you. I don't think he's acting. It's just a character. He's just a real life character. Right after this ad.
This episode is brought to you by Love Hurts. Kiwi Kwan has had quite a career, from childhood roles in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies, to a recent Academy Award win for Everything Everywhere All at Once. But now, Ki finally stars as a leading man in the film Love Hurts. Love Hurts is the perfect date night movie, with its mix of over-the-top action, comedy, and a ton of heart. Love Hurts, only at theaters February 7th. You're listening to DraftKings Network.
What a delight to have you both here, by the way.
You know, thanks for having us.
Yeah. You're taking stock of your surroundings, Kevin.
Well, I've seen, you know, I'm a big fan.
Oh, yeah. Waiting for Nick to chime in with a compliment, but none has come.
I don't like to come over the top on someone else's compliment. Yeah. And I also don't like to lie. So I was in a weird spot, you know, kind of a double way out. By the way, evidently my hair is getting screwed up by the headphones. I think it looks great.
Your hair has been looking good.
I appreciate that. All of our hair is looking pretty good. Pablo's got great hair. Wild's has great hair. My hair is fine. I'm in a room with two people objectively with better hair than me. My hair gets graded on a curve because... I used to have a shaved head and people thought that was by force than by choice. So people oddly think this is like fake hair.
But set that aside. We're going to rank everything in the room by the time this episode is over.
Rankings matter. You know what? Can I just say something? These people that think they're too goddamn good to like, oh, for lists and rankings and whatever. That's what life is. I'm not into people that think they're too good for what everyone enjoys.
Rankings are number one, dude. Yeah. Ranked rankings. Rankings are number one. As far as ways to organize things, number one rankings.
Number one rankings, number two, art. And that's the end of the list. Just rankings and art. Yeah. Let's all get claps though. You good? No, that was a good clap. Missed it. Best clap, Nick. Second best clap, me. Worst clap, Wiles. Okay, so you should know that the reason that I've decided to start the new year with Nick Wright and Kevin Wilds here with me in studio is for a very particular reason. Nick and Wilds, in case you did not know, co-host a popular sports television show called First Things First over on FS1, or as they called the show at the start of one episode last year, It's a show that's going to vanquish Pablo Torres.
Oh, come on. Don't put that on the air.
Why? I'm serious about it.
Okay, all right. If you want to do it.
And shout out to their co-host, by the way, Chris Broussard, who you could hear at the end of that video just then, just immediately washing his hands of all of this. But my feud with Nick and Kevin actually began a lot earlier than that. And so I needed to begin this episode, which will go unusually deep inside of the business of sports media and the art of giving takes and the crafting of magic words and the ranking of celebrity because Nick started off originally as a solo radio host and Wild started off as a television producer that I worked with at ESPN. And I just needed to confront them about the last time that the three of us had been together in person. Which was, naturally, at Kevin Wild's family holiday party. Okay. December 2023, Nick. It's the Upper West Side. It's almost Christmas. I see you. Yes. And you say to me something that I've been waiting over a year to talk to you about.
Great. Because I have no recollection.
You say to me... This is great. I think you're the second smartest person in sports media.
I called you second? I would have thought maybe third, but sure, yeah. Did I have myself first or Belmonte first? I never followed up until now.
